Chapter Fifty-Four This is Human Nature

  Ten miles outside the city of Luoyang, a group of sixteen people were speeding along. Wei Hong was at the front, constantly urging them on. Compared to the relaxed expressions of the others, Wei Hong's face was extremely solemn.

  Two days and two nights of rapid driving, without encountering any obstacles, everyone naturally put down their guard psychologically, thinking they were already safe. However, Wei Hong became more and more vigilant.

  Although Wei Hong's soul force was strong enough, it could only sweep less than a mile, and although he didn't feel anything unusual, his intuition told him that it was impossible to get to Fog City so easily.

  "A bit faster." Wei Hong's gaze fell on the group of young men behind him, who were already showing signs of slackening off. His brow furrowed involuntarily as he bellowed in a deep voice.

  "Wei Hong, you've already arrived at Fog City, what else could be the matter?" A chubby young man behind him said with a somewhat careless tone.

  "Is that right? You've been shouting and yelling all the way, do you really think you're the boss?" Another young man whispered, with a flash of anger in his eyes.

  The other youngsters did not speak, but Wei Hong's soul force was so strong that it was natural for others to see that they no longer trusted him as much. After all, in their view, the Fog City was already within sight, and once they arrived at the Fog City, they would be competitors again, why should they follow his words?

  "Wei Xiaoquan, Wei Dayi, what nonsense are you two spouting? If it weren't for Wei Hong, would you have been able to safely arrive at Fog City?" Wei Wuming's eyes flashed with anger as he grasped his long spear and pointed at the two of them, shouting sternly.

  "Hey, don't forget that we're all in this together. If it weren't for us, he might not have made it to Fog City either." The plump young man known as Wei Xiaoquan said with a smooth smile on his face.

  Wei Xiaoquan's words were affirmed by the young men, although they had experienced some life-and-death struggles. However, being able to become the outstanding ones of their respective branches, they were naturally extremely proud and arrogant. Now that they felt the danger had passed, their proud and arrogant momentum rose again.

  Wei Hong suddenly laughed lightly, originally he didn't plan to care about the life and death of these branch family members, it was just that at first seeing their miserable state and the Wei family head directly treating them as if their lives were worthless, made him feel a thread of anger. Human nature is always so complicated.

  "Wei Ning, Wei Wuming, let's go. Since the danger has been lifted, our team can also disband." Wei Hong quickly said as he pulled back Wei Ning and Wei Wuming who still wanted to argue.

  As soon as the words fell, Wei Hong suddenly frowned and then directly pulled Wei Ning and Wei Wuming to his left and right, saying in a low voice: "Hurry up."

  Lingbo's steps reached the extreme, directly arriving ten meters away in an instant. Wei Ning and Wei Wuning were also stunned for a moment before sprinting with all their might towards the not-so-distant location.

  The appearance of Wei Hong and the other two made the young men slightly puzzled, but after a moment, their faces changed drastically, only to see dozens of black-clad masked men suddenly appear, each emitting an extremely fierce killing aura.

  "Get rid of these people quickly, I'll go after those three kids." The leader looked in the direction where Wei Hong escaped, saying coldly, with a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.

  As soon as he finished speaking, he was already outside the top ten and quickly chased in the direction of Wei Hong.

  With the leader's departure, the black-clad men on the scene, without any nonsense, exuded a killing aura and directly charged towards the young men present.

  A killing aura emanated from them, and several black-clad men had yet to approach, but the murderous intent that permeated their bodies had already caused these young people's minds to become slightly disoriented.

  Wei Xiaoquan's chubby face showed a hint of terror as he stared at the black-clad man rushing towards him. For a moment, he forgot to attack, and by the time he reacted, it was too late. The black-clad man had already beheaded him with one swift slash, sending his head flying into the sky.

  There was still a thread of consciousness in his mind, and he could vaguely see the three Wei Hong people running far away. A hint of regret appeared on Wei Xiaoquan's face. If he had listened to Wei Hong's words, maybe things would have been different!

  This was the last thought that remained in the mortal world, however, the slaughter continued, and these Wei family youngsters were once again plunged into terror, each one forgetting that their own martial arts skills were not inferior to those of the black-clad men.

  "Hmm"

  "Hmm"

  One after another, people fell to the ground. And every person's thoughts before they died were similar to those of Wei Xiaoquan: What is a genius? Only those who can survive in the midst of grinding and slaughter are considered geniuses. Those with the title of genius but cannot withstand the grind will ultimately fail to achieve mastery of martial arts.

  In the arena, thirteen young men, now fewer than five, and these five were also completely devoid of energy. Wei Deyi held a long sword, but his hand was shaking lightly, and his face showed a hint of terror. He couldn't understand why the battle two days ago had been so one-sided in their favor, yet today they were being slaughtered.

  "Don't come over, don't come over." Wei Deyi held the long sword, slightly trembling as he stared at the several black-clad men walking towards him, his face filled with terror.

  Wei Da Yi forgot that he was a swordsman, forgot that he was called a young genius by his own clan, and even more forgot what he had said to Wei Hong, that without Wei Hong, he would still be able to reach Fog City safely.

  Several black-clad men gazed at Wei Deyi with a hint of ferocity, one of them flashing a look of disdain in his eyes. His right hand transformed into claws and swiped directly at Wei Deyi's throat.

  Squeak

  His throat was directly pinched to pieces, Wei Deyi's eyes bulged out, and even the long sword in his hand forgot to attack. The black-clothed man directly threw Wei Deyi aside.

  The slaughter continued unabated. One minute later, twenty black-clad men were unscathed, while the remaining Wei family youths were all annihilated, with no one left alive.

  After the man in black left, Wei Lao and others also rushed over in a hurry. After stopping, Wei Lao's face was extremely ugly at this time, gritting his teeth and saying: "Ah Da, what is going on? Is there such a big gap between our Wei family and Ye family? These young people from the Wei family branch actually didn't even have the power to fight back when faced with Ye family's sniping?"

  "Ah Da looked at the corpse on the ground again, thought for a moment and said: 'Wei Lao, there are still three young men who should have escaped. Let's hurry up and chase them. Wei Hong is among them. At that time, we will know how things stand.'"

  Wei Lao heard Ah Dai's words and also reacted, hastily saying: "Let's go, hurry up."

  Wei Lao finished speaking and ran directly towards the distance. Ah Da and the other two exchanged a glance, also letting out a bitter laugh, before hastily following after him.
