Chapter 654: By the Beasts' Method

Tuoba Yi intended to incite public outrage, and he was certain that Tuoba Xiao wouldn't dare to do it, let alone say it.

After all, once those words were spoken, he would be preparing to face millions of enemies!

Would Tuoba Xiao dare?

Tuoba Yi believed he had Tuoba Xiao in his grasp, finally venting some of his pent-up anger.

But under such threats, the young man's gaze remained unchanged.

"Whoever continues to chatter incessantly outside the General's residence, I will kill one by one, and if I see a pair, I will kill both."

The young man abruptly turned his head, his eyes fierce and merciless, sweeping over each person as if trying to peel off a layer of their flesh.

Shocked by his gaze, the crowd stood frozen for a moment before gradually coming to their senses, breaking out into heated discussions once more.

"Truly a cold-blooded monster, does someone like him deserve to be our Dongrong's general? His virtue does not match his position, disgusting!"

"Exactly, can a person like him protect the people of Dongrong as a general? It would be a miracle if he doesn't go on a killing spree!"

Among the onlookers, those who had always detested Tuoba Xiao took advantage of the crowd's cover to stir up trouble, confident that Tuoba Xiao wouldn't dare to act on his threats.

Tuoba Yi continued his relentless taunts: "Tuoba Xiao, what were you thinking when you killed your mother? Haven't you felt even a shred of guilt after all these years? Have you always believed that you were right to kill her?"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten. I haven't. The sunset that day was as red as the blood that flowed from your mother's body when she fell. Her face was unrecognizable, yet she still tried to say something to you. Tuoba Xiao, what did she say to you then? Was she still saying it wasn't your fault until the very end?"

The voices came one after another, like a swarm of flies, and the veins on Tuoba Xiao's hand began to bulge. The last bit of clarity in his eyes vanished completely.

He suddenly raised his hand, aiming to grab Tuoba Yi by the throat and silence him by tearing his mouth, but several people beside Tuoba Yi stepped forward in unison.

Tuoba Yi, as if he had foreseen this moment, swiftly took cover behind a few experts and sneered coldly, "Tuoba Xiao, do you think you're still invincible like before? There are always higher mountains and deeper seas, and you've already been defeated by Helian Lin!"

What he really meant was that Tuoba Xiao was still injured today, and from what he knew, the injury was severe enough to make the Emperor vomit blood in distress.

So, how many foes could Tuoba Xiao take on today?

He had come well-prepared this time, and these experts were all people who harbored deep hatred for Tuoba Xiao. If a fight ensued, they would surely aim to kill!

"Too much nonsense."

Tuoba Xiao, dagger in hand, lunged forward and plunged it into the chest of an attacker.

His movements were fluid and relentless, like bold strokes on a sheet of paper. With a swift slash, he blinded the second man, and with a thrust and a flick, he tore a long gash in the third man's abdomen.

In an instant, he had taken down three attackers. By the time the onlookers regained their senses, the three were already clutching their bleeding wounds, howling in agony.

But Tuoba Xiao showed no signs of stopping, charging relentlessly towards the last few men shielding Tuoba Yi.

"Help... help me..." Tuoba Yi was nearly scared out of his wits, hastily pulling a few people in front of him as shields.

But even these men were terrified by Tuoba Xiao's astonishing offensive, their fighting spirit completely lost as they scrambled to retreat.

Large patches of bright red blood seeped from Tuoba Xiao's abdomen, but he seemed oblivious to the pain, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on Tuoba Yi, who was hiding behind others.

Only then did Tuoba Yi truly feel fear. Seeing the blood on Tuoba Xiao's abdomen, he shouted as if he had seen a savior, "Quick, Tuoba Xiao is seriously injured. Now is the perfect time to take him down!"

Hearing this, a few people glanced at Tuoba Xiao's abdomen and, seeing it was indeed true, mustered their courage and rushed at him in a swarm.

The crowd around them also shouted, "Catch this monster, kill him!"

But the situation shifted in a flash. Despite six skilled fighters attacking at once, they were all dead in less than ten moves in front of Tuoba Xiao.

When Tuoba Xiao killed the last person, he still held a piece of bloody flesh in his left hand, not knowing whose body it had been torn from.

At this moment, everyone on the scene was dumbfounded, and the surrounding people trembled in terror, instinctively backing away.

Tuoba Yi stumbled over a corpse while retreating and fell to the ground, "Don't... don't come over!"

He could barely get the words out, looking at the crazed killer in front of him, only now understanding what real fear felt like.

The once indignant and enraged wolf hunters, under the absolute threat of death, felt their boiling blood turn to ice, each scrambling to hide in every direction, no longer giving a thought to Tuoba Yi.

They had supported him not for Tuoba Yi himself, but because they felt injustice in the clan.

Finally, the young man stood against the high sun, his face mostly hidden by disheveled hair, his blue-green eyes coldly peering through the strands, blood slowly trickling down his sharp jaw.

Tuoba Yi had lost all his earlier arrogance, trembling all over, "Tuoba Xiao, I... I'm your cousin, don't, don't kill me..."

The young man knelt down, his bloodied, slender fingers tapping Tuoba Yi's face.

This action was extremely humiliating, but Tuoba Yi dared not resist.

Who knew the next moment, the light taps turned into a sudden slap, and Tuoba Yi's face was directly slapped to the side, his mouth hurting, and he let out a cry and spat out a tooth.

"Why always use the word 'monster' to humiliate me?"

The young man's voice came out slowly, very calm, but it made people tremble with fear, clearly understanding that the person before them was a madman.

"I am a monster, so how can it be an insult?"

After saying this, he did not continue to slap Tuoba Yi's face, but stood up.

Just when Tuoba Yi thought he was going to let him go, the young man lifted his foot and stomped heavily on his abdomen, ignoring his wails, grinding back and forth.

"I am a beast, so I treat you like a beast."

After saying this, he suddenly smiled brightly, like a child who had discovered something fun, "Xiaoyue!"

From the top of the general's mansion wall, a strong white wolf, half a man's height, leaped down, frightening the surrounding people even more.

Tuoba Xiao laughed madly but did not speak again, yet a chilling coldness suddenly ran up Tuoba Yi's spine, and he tried to break free from under Tuoba Xiao's foot with his hands and feet.

And Tuoba Xiao, as he wished, released his foot.

However, the next moment, the white wolf pounced directly amidst the exclamations of the crowd—
