Chapter 227: Chapter 103: Fertilizing Brother Tree

At night, Gao Xin arrived at East Mountain Burial Mound as promised.

On his way there, he had even stopped by a hunting camp to snatch a sheep.

Gao Xin returned to the place of his tribulation, leaned against ’Brother Tree’, and roasted the whole sheep.

Beside him were forty boxes, which under the moonlight of the black night, resembled small tombstones.

The dry wood blazed fiercely; radiant sheep meat sizzled and oozed with oil, filling the air with its aroma.

Just as the fire was perfect and Gao Xin was about to feast,

a noisy group ascended the mountain, their hands wielding extremely bright flashlights.

Drawn by the scent, they had found him.

"Tai Sui, do you really dare to come alone?"

The leader was Tanabu, followed by Sasaki and twenty Black Hands.

Gao Xin laughed, "I said it didn’t matter how many of you came; seems you didn’t take it to heart."

"Just these few people? Not even enough to get stuck in my teeth."

Sasaki roared, "Damn! What are you, to be so arrogant?"

"In Yamaguchi Village, no one dares to provoke the Yakuza!"

"We’ve wiped out gangs, not a hundred, then at least eighty!"

As Gao Xin gnawed on a lamb leg, he suddenly hurled the bone, "Enough talk! You’re all here, come at me together!"

The lamb leg bone whistled through the air, like an arrow, breaking the silence and smashing Sasaki’s mouth to pieces on impact.

Sasaki screamed, spitting out several teeth.

"You bastard! Damn it!"

"Kill him!"

Unable to contain his anger, Sasaki drew his sword and charged, and at the same time, twenty colleagues cursed and rushed forward.

However, Tanabu stopped everyone, coldly saying, "All of you back off!"

"I said, he’s mine; none of you lay a hand on him."

Saying this, Tanabu drew his massive katana, pointing it at Gao Xin.

"Come on, Tai Sui, since you’re here alone, I won’t bully you."

"One-on-one, a battle to the death, a fight to the bitter end."

He spoke with an air of excitement, having felt during their brief encounter in the day that Gao Xin’s strength was almost similar to his own.

Even slightly inferior.

This was good, he needed such an opponent to temper himself.

Seeing how much he anticipated the fight, Gao Xin grimaced, "Is that so? I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you."

"Hmm? Are you afraid of a fight to the death?" Tanabu’s face showed anger.

But Gao Xin simply laughed, "No, what I mean is, you’re too weak..."

"...simply not worthy to duel with me."

He finished speaking, and the Demon Blade flashed out instantaneously. Under the moonlight, myriad afterimages created a continuous trail, as if thousands of blades slashed simultaneously.

Tanabu immediately countered and activated organ super-frequency on the spot.

He knew Gao Xin was formidable, so he went all out from the start, leaving no room for luck.

However, upon clashing, his expression changed drastically.

"Whiz!"

"Ding!"

"Puchi!"

Several blade shadows passed, and Tanabu had both his arms chopped off, his katana falling.

"What!"

"Lord Tanabu!"

This sudden turn of events dumbfounded the onlookers; Sasaki wore an expression of disbelief.

Too swift, Gao Xin with an inconceivable angle of attack, and even used the sword’s afterimage under the moonlight to ingeniously severe Tanabu’s arms, instantly crippling him.

Tanabu was also stunned; he had anticipated an evenly matched death fight, but instead, he was defeated in a flash...

With no arms, what was he to fight with?

Gao Xin calmly said, "You’re quite strong, managing to take three of my moves; you could be considered almost a Wolf King."

"I... you... what?" Tanabu stared wide-eyed, almost crashing.

"You, to be this strong?"

"How could this be... how could this be..."

"When earlier, you seemed my equal."

Tanabu couldn’t accept this reality.

Gao Xin chuckled, "Idiot, if I hadn’t held back during the day, would you dare come find me at night?"

When he took Su Lei and the others in the morning, he had deliberately provoked these men.

Yet he was very measured, merely annoying Tanabu and Sasaki, but not enough to cause a big stir.

"I just showed strength similar to yours, to draw out your fighting spirit... and you foolishly came."

Gao Xin’s words infuriated Tanabu.

He wasn’t fearful; on the contrary, he became more ferocious.

"Kill him!"

The words Tanabu had just spoken about fighting one-on-one, forbidding anyone else to interfere, were instantly forgotten.

Gao Xin’s strength was beyond his expectations.

He had no martial ethics, decisively switching to a righteous group beating.

But Gao Xin simply smirked, his blade flashed, and he caught up to him, severing Tanabu’s legs as well.

Thus, Tanabu became a cripple, collapsing to the ground.

Tanabu sensed something ominous, not because missing limbs constituted serious injury,

but on the contrary, they were not severe at all, only severely affecting his combat capability and easily repairable later at the Silver Tower.

What terrified him was that Gao Xin clearly had the ability to decapitate him with one stroke but chose instead to reduce him to a cripple; what was his aim?

"What do you want to do! Torture me? Just this?" He was truly defiant.

Gao Xin just stepped on his chest, looking down at him, and with a few backhanded slashes, fended off a group of Black Hands swarming him.

Some also had their arms chopped off, blood splattering everywhere.

Then, he thrust the Demon Blade into Tanabu’s chest, drawing a circle!

"Tanabu, I was once almost harvested of my heart for you."

Gao Xin’s words stunned everyone.

They stared intently at Gao Xin’s face, gradually recognizing changes, his features becoming familiar.

Tanabu and Sasaki both paused in shock.

"You... you are... that... Glass Man?" Tanabu didn’t even remember Gao Xin’s name; he had only seen him a few times when taking over the new recruits and had a slight impression.

However, Sasaki couldn’t forget this face at all: "Nani!"

He shouted excitedly, "How is it possible? Is it you, Gao Xin?"

"Eh? Are you a ghost?"

Gao Xin’s Demon Blade split open Tanabu’s chest, reached in with his hand, and plucked out Tanabu’s heart.

He wrapped it with active fat.

With a kick, he sent Tanabu flying.

"Sasaki, I couldn’t kill you last time... This morning, from what you said, it seemed you were quite discontent."

"Come, as you wish, let’s fight once again."

Gao Xin stared coldly at Sasaki, advancing step by step.

Sasaki couldn’t help but step back. Fight again?

When Gao Xin was the Glass Man, he almost killed him, and he was not convinced, but to fight once more... What a joke, Gao Xin was now a true wolf!

"How did you not die? The Red Demon tossed you into the East Mountain Burial Mound... You should have been eaten long ago..."

As Sasaki spoke, he suddenly gasped, looking around frantically. This place was the very site of the old East Mountain Burial Mound.

Initially, when he heard Gao Xin was thrown here, he planned to come and see out of spite.

However, because he was healing from injuries, there was a delay of a few days. By the time he came, only some pus and plasma were left, along with some charred remains.

Sasaki thought that Gao Xin had long been reduced to bones, eaten by snakes, insects, mice, and ants, with the rest turned into blood and water.

Unexpectedly, there he stood, vibrant and alive, taking the namesake of Tai Sui, easily defeating their leader Tanabu and plucking out his heart!

Gao Xin sneered, "Thanks to you, I was reborn."

"The Red Demon was sent by me to meet the Great Spirit; now it’s your turn."

As he spoke, he had already chopped down several people, mutilating them, each rolling like ground gourds.

This was hardly a duel; it wasn’t even a challenge, but a unilateral slaughter.

Gao Xin even had the leisure to collect everyone’s hearts.

"The Red Demon was also killed by you?"

"Run! Run fast!"

"Send a signal!"

Sasaki shouted, with a signal gun already in his hand.

Two other operatives did the same, clearly to send out an alert to notify the people in the village.

However, Gao Xin was swift and, with his arm stretched out, shot three arrows in quick succession.

"Puff puff puff!"

The Bone Arrows, with immense force, immediately exploded the hands of the three men.

Gao Xin, with an enhanced brain, skilled hands, and the heart of dark logic, possessed a shooting talent of genius level.

Three precise and elegant arrows flashed out diagonally, followed by three slashes, utterly unguardable.

Sasaki also fell down immediately, leaving few people standing.

They all were terrified, rushing down the mountain, trying to escape.

Yet Gao Xin howled skyward: "Aoooooo!"

Sky Wolf Howling at the Moon, and soon, beneath the small hill, green glowing eyes appeared, a pack of true wolf-level Radiations had already surreptitiously surrounded them.

"You... you!"

"How can this be? These are our wolves!"

The Japanese were horrified, one of them disbelievingly rushed forward but was instantly overpowered and torn apart by the Radiation Wolf, quickly dismembered.

The remaining people retreated in despair and shrank back up the hill.

"Sorry, I indeed came alone, but brought seven wolves," Gao Xin smirked.

When he grabbed that sheep, he also picked out the seven strongest Radiation Wolves to sneak out with him.

As long as the number wasn’t too large, the hunting group wouldn’t notice temporarily.

"You... you were also involved in that night’s Radiation Beast riot!" Sasaki was clever and immediately guessed Gao Xin’s feat.

But this was astounding—how many days had it been?

Previously a fragile man, Gao Xin had just become a Radiant and had killed Chikoni along with over a hundred of his men.

Later, he incited a Radiation Beast riot in the village, took over the wolf pack, and pulled off something significant.

Now, he had lured them to the East Mountain Burial Mound, eliminating them one by one, even easily defeating his boss, Tanabu.

Everything happened within just ten days—how could he improve so fast? What potential did he possess?

But he would no longer have a chance to know.

Gao Xin donned his silver-white battle armor, bravely bearing the desperate counterattacks of the crippled, stepping on their chests and plucking out their hearts one by one.

Those of lesser wolf rank died in an instant.

And those true wolf rank were more resistant; Tanabu had not yet died, still struggling with an intense desire to survive.

Yet Gao Xin merely silently preserved their hearts, placing each one in a row of prepared boxes.

Under the moonlight, they looked like a series of tombstones.

"I prepared forty boxes for you, yet only twenty of you came," Gao Xin shook his head.

Tanabu struggled futilely under his feet.

Gao Xin’s silver-white battle armor was extremely tough, and even Tanabu’s frantic biting left no mark.

"Your teeth aren’t up to the task... My children! Show him what wolf teeth are!"

At Gao Xin’s command, the seven wolves burst forth, tearing and shredding the bodies on the ground like tumbleweeds.

Tanabu screamed miserably, gradually falling apart.

And Gao Xin silently placed the hearts in boxes, closed them and then caressed the tree struck by lightning, "It was Brother Tree, Brother Grass, Brother Thunder, Brother Rain... they all saved me."

"This is the place of my tribulation, the place of my rebirth. I swore vengeance against you all when I climbed back from death."

"Today, I will use your flesh to fertilize Brother Tree," he said.

His words sounded calm yet absurd, like those of a madman.

Tanabu never imagined dying at the hands of a newcomer, especially one he had personally recruited from the seaside just a month ago.

His face contorted, he roared defiantly under the devouring wolf teeth, "Lord Viper will avenge me!"

Gao Xin firmly said, "Yes, Viper is next, very soon."

"I will see him join you!"

Soon, the screams ceased, leaving only the sound of the seven wolves licking.

Having dealt with Tanabu, Sasaki and others, and earlier with Six Paths Scars, Gao Xin had avenged his past grievances.

Only Viper and Rousi remained.

He was determined to rescue Luo Yan within these two days, whether or not Luo Yan had the permission to leave home; he could not wait any longer.

If Rousi still wouldn’t let Luo Yan leave, then he would take Luo Yan and break out!
