Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 158 - 158 157 Return!_1

158: Chapter 157 Return!_1 158: Chapter 157 Return!_1 Accompanied by the sound of flesh and bones being torn apart, the green long spear pierced Xuan Kun’s chest guard, penetrating deep into his body.

In an instant, it emerged from his back, the sharp tip revealing chilling murderous intent, akin to a poisonous snake spitting out its fangs.

At the next moment, an overwhelming amount of combat qi exploded from Xiao Chen’s body, travelling straight along the long spear into Xuan Kun’s body.

The mighty combat qi exploded within him, shredding his internal organs to pieces.

Thud!

Blood spurted from Xuan Kun’s mouth, mixed with pieces of his internal organs.

His previously cloudy eyes showed a hint of clarity, a final moment of lucidity before death.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice emerged from his mouth, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

“I hate …I despise…”

As his words fell, the once mighty leader fell under Xiao Chen’s spear.

Xuan Kun’s death marked the complete fall of the Xuan She Tribe, becoming a trace of the past.

The Gu Yuan Tribe, stepping on the dead bodies and blood of the Xuan She and Kui Shui Tribes, carved out a bloody path for themselves, winning the right to thrive in the Great Wasteland.

This was the reality of the Great Wasteland.

Lives were as insignificant as wild grass!

Survival of the fittest, only the strong had the right to survive.

There was no fairness or justice, only power was eternal.

As a once mighty warlord, not only he, but also generations of ancestors from the Xuan She Tribe inflicted ceaseless harm on the Gu Yuan Tribe.

But all this ended in Xiao Chen’s hands.

The tides had turned, and the old order was finally shattered.

Bang!

Xiao Chen punched a hole in the mountainside, ten feet wide, and buried Xuan Kun’s corpse in it.

A great leader, who had ruled the Xuan She Tribe for a century, was simply buried in this ordinary mountainous area.

“The leader of the Xuan She Tribe is dead, Xiao Clan Leader actually killed Xuan Kun!

This is incredible.

That means Xiao Clan Leader’s strength must at least be at the mid-stage of the Blood Refining Realm.”

“That’s right, I remember Xiao Chen only recently broke through to the Blood Refining Realm.

With such terrifying talent, it seems the Gu Yuan Tribe really will rise to power!”

The terrified crowd below, who were lying on the ground posing as animals, couldn’t help but cry with joy.

Once again, Xiao Chen pulled them from the brink.

This battle may have been short, but it felt like an eternity to them.

Seeing their lives left in someone else’s hand was heartbreaking.

Every move Xiao Chen made tugged at their heartstrings.

But the nightmare was over.

Xiao Chen succeeded in killing Xuan Kun as they had hoped.

They had survived.

The joy of survival didn’t last long.

A gloomy mood engulfed the crowd as the stifled cries slowly echoed.

They looked at the barren landscape strewn with human flesh and the lingering cold bodies of their loved ones.

The level of pain they felt was beyond words.

In no time, the survivors began to gather the bones of their relatives.

But the bodies were so mutilated by the war chariots, arms and legs were scattered across the ground, making it difficult to identify the remains.

Their eyes shone with tears as their hands shook, unsure of what to do.

The pain was unbearable.

The separation of life and death was a constant reality in the Great Wasteland, with scenes of blood and gore at every corner.

Xiao Chen had initially believed that he would feel uncomfortable, perhaps even oppressed, standing amidst this carnage.

But as he stood in the pool of blood, he found his heart to be calm like a still ancient well.

It seemed as though the incessant slaughter in the Great Wasteland, had left his heart numb.

The Great Wasteland is endless!

But only blood remains forever!

The sound of suppressed sobbing reached his ears.

Without power in the Great Wasteland, one simply had no control over their own destiny.

Drifting along, never knowing when they would die and turn to dust in the wilderness.

This feeling of not being able to control one’s own fate filled Xiao Chen with a fierce revulsion.

He was unwilling to leave his fate, and the fate of the Gu Yuan Tribe, to the whim of destiny.

He only believed in the war spear in his hands.

Only power was the everlasting truth.

“It’s over!” After a long while, Xiao Chen sighed softly, turning his gaze towards the bronze battle chariot beside him.

Without the infusion of combat Qi now, the bronze chariot had reverted back to its original rusty and worn appearance—no one could ever imagine that this run-down chariot had not long ago crushed anything in its past.

Xiao Chen coveted this bronze battle chariot.

To be precise, he yearned for any item that could augment the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

He even wished he could gather all the genius treasures scattered across the Great Wasteland into his pocket.

The chariot, as a supreme weapon on the battlefield, has been intertwined with the history of human combat since its creation by the forebears of the human race.

It has made indelible contributions to mankind.

Moreover, this bronze chariot can rival a Blood Refining Realm Warrior, suggesting a high rank.

Even though Xiao Chen was unable to determine its rank yet, and thus couldn’t estimate its value, acquiring such a powerful bronze chariot was a cause for joy, as it represented another enhancement in the strength of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

The flame giant beast that was pulling the chariot had already fallen silent.

During his engagement with Xuan Kun, the Crimson Flame Beast had been caught in the crossfire and thus unjustly met its demise.

Otherwise, the Gu Yuan Tribe would have gained another two-star beast equivalent to a Blood Refining Realm Warrior among humans.

Xiao Chen lamented this loss.

For the current Gu Yuan Tribe, a live two-star beast was far more useful than a dead one.

However, even though the two-star beast had been dead for some time, as a creature whose entire body was a treasure, Xiao Chen would certainly not casually discard it.

As Xiao Chen continued to examine the bronze battle chariot, a dozen or so surviving members of the Gu Yuan Tribe helped each other walk over to him.

These remaining dozen or so were extremely fortunate.

The wooden house where they were resting was in a secluded location, and Xuan Kun did not pay it any attention upon his arrival, enabling them to avoid the bloody massacre.

“Paying respects to the clan leader.”

Hearing the call of the tribespeople, Xiao Chen turned around.

Seeing that his own tribe people were safe and sound, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he opened his mouth and said, “Have the remains of our people been taken care of?”

“Yes, everything has been handled.

For those members of our tribe whose bodies were completely burnt, we followed the instructions of the clan leader and collected the bloodstained soil.

Upon our return to the tribe, we will bury it in our tribal burial ground.”

“Good!

Wait here for a moment.” As soon as his words fell, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared into the woods.

As it turned out, Xiao Chen noticed that although the tribespeople had rested for one night, they were even more physically and mentally exhausted after experiencing another bloody massacre by Xuan Kun.

They simply couldn’t possibly travel long distances, let alone return to the tribe.

So, he intended to catch some beasts to serve as mounts for their journey.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen was in luck.

He found a herd of unicorns.

After subduing the leader of the unicorns, a few dozen other unicorns obediently followed Xiao Chen back to the tribespeople.

With a bit of converting, the bronze battle chariot was transformed into a horse carriage, and four unicorns were harnessed to it.

As the space on the chariot was sufficient, the weak and elderly tribe people were helped onto the chariot, while the tribespeople who still had battle power rode unicorns, guarding the chariot in the center.

Just before setting off, a tribal member tentatively spoke, “My chief, how should we deal with the Elemental Stone vein here when we return to the tribe?”

As soon as this member brought it up, all the tribe people looked to the collapsed vein, their eyes revealing an reluctance to part with it.

They knew better than anyone else the importance of the Elemental Stone, and they did not expect Xiao Chen to just leave without a care.

“Vein?

From today onward, this place will no longer have any Elemental Stone vein.”

“Gone?

How is that possible!”

Looking at Xiao Chen’s mysterious smile, everyone wore puzzled expressions, finding it difficult to understand the meaning of Xiao Chen’s words.
