“If I can choose, I hope to die of old age.”

After Jun Changxiao finished this sentence, the surrounding five hundred-plus Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps members collectively became dumbfounded.

“Puhahaha!”

Shortly after, everyone burst into laughter.

“This guy still wants to die of old age?”

“Oh no, I can’t, I can’t—I’m laughing so hard I can barely breathe!”

“Is this the last joke before dying?”

The small team martial artists who had quietly approached from the Sixth Region, hearing Jun Changxiao’s words, also had their mouths twitching.

Don’t hope for dying of old age—hope for keeping a whole corpse.

But with the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps captain’s temperament, killing his subordinates, even giving him a whole corpse would be difficult!

Seeing them laugh so happily, Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched as he said, “Is it that funny?”

“Brat.”

Hou Kun rested one hand on his blade hilt, saying, “Dying of old age is impossible. Choose another way to die.”

“For example?” Jun Changxiao asked.

Hou Kun said, “Torn apart by five horses, death by a thousand cuts, skinning and bone removal.”

Hearing these methods of death, the martial artists from the distant small teams involuntarily shuddered.

What a ruthless person indeed!

“A bit cruel.” Jun Changxiao said.

“Of course.”

Hou Kun said, “If you kneel before me and kowtow to confess your crimes, I can give you a very dignified way to die.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “These knees of mine don’t kneel to heaven or earth, only to the parents who gave birth to me and raised me.”

Not just himself.

He hoped his disciples would also have this kind of integrity.

“Heh.”

Hou Kun stopped in front of his subordinates, saying indifferently, “Didn’t expect it—you’re quite proud.”

“Captain.”

A subordinate beside him said, “I’ll cripple him first, then press him to the ground to kowtow to you—wouldn’t that work?”

“Also good.” Hou Kun said.

From the moment he saw Jun Changxiao, his eyes had been filled with indifference, completely not taking him seriously.

The members who had narrowly escaped with their lives also sneered endlessly.

If facing Jun Changxiao alone, they would definitely be afraid, but now with the captain present and brothers here, what bird egg was there to fear!

“Go ahead.”

Hou Kun waved his hand and said, “Cripple this brat.”

“Yes!”

That subordinate walked over with clenched fists, his face showing a wicked smile as if molesting a young girl.

Jun Changxiao said, “How will you cripple me?”

The person stopped two meters in front of him, smiling sinisterly, “Of course by crushing your hand bones, breaking your leg bones, then severing your hand tendons and foot tendons.”

“I see.”

Swish!

That person suddenly reached out to grab him.

“Crack!”

“Crunch!”

The sound of breaking bones rang out.

Because Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps members surrounded them, Brother Qin and others in the distance couldn’t see, but hearing the commotion, they realized that brat was in trouble!

“Ahhh!”

A scream like a pig being slaughtered rang out.

Everyone’s expressions froze.

This scream—it seemed not to be coming from the white-robed youth!

Or was it so painful that his voice changed?

Many martial artists hastily leaned their bodies and heads, taking advantage of gaps between the crowd, finally seeing clearly!

The person screaming wasn’t the white-robed youth—it was the Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps member!

His hands were tightly gripped by Jun Changxiao and were already bent at odd angles, clearly having been directly crushed!

This…

Everyone’s mouths twitched.

In such a perilous situation, he still dared injure a Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps member—that guy was truly fierce!

Thud!

Thud!

Jun Changxiao’s right foot suddenly kicked out, precisely striking the ankles of the controlled subordinate.

Crack—

The crisp sound of breaking bones rang out again!

“Ahhh ahh!”

The subordinate’s agonized screams increased by quite a few more decibels.

No wonder Jun Changxiao had asked how he would cripple him—he was going to use the same method to cripple him.

“…”

Everyone immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

With all hand and foot bones completely broken, even if they could be reconnected, it would greatly affect his martial path in the future!

“Thud!”

Jun Changxiao kicked again, sending the screaming subordinate flying.

“Clang clang!”

The next second, Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps members brought forth their swords and blades, their eyes flashing with overwhelming killing intent.

Hou Kun’s face darkened, his killing aura surging as he said, “Brat, you actually dare fight back.”

“Never mind, never mind.”

He said coldly, “Even if you kneel down and kowtow until your head breaks, this old man will still dismember you into ten thousand pieces today!”

With that, he waved his hand.

The Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps members, receiving the order, swung their swords and blades, about to chop this guy into meat sauce.

“Wait.” Jun Changxiao called out.

Everyone instinctively stopped.

Hou Kun said, “Do you have any last words to say?”

Jun Changxiao stroked his chin and said, “I’ll now give you and your subordinates a choice.”

Give me and my subordinates a choice?

Hou Kun was stunned, then sneered, “What choice?”

Jun Changxiao said, “Die by my hand, or become food for fierce beasts.”

These words left everyone completely confused.

“Hahaha.”

Hou Kun laughed loudly, saying contemptuously, “Brat, does one person like you have the ability to kill this many of my brothers?”

“If this is how you want to die.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I truly do have this ability.”

This absolutely wasn’t posturing, wasn’t bragging—he truly, genuinely had the ability!

“Arrogant!”

Hou Kun said impatiently, “Hurry up and act—chop this guy into pieces and throw him into the mountain forest to feed the fierce beasts!”

“Because of that sentence.”

Jun Changxiao’s eyes turned cold as he said, “This seat will today have you all fed to fierce beasts!”

“Oh my.”

Hou Kun pretended to be very frightened, saying, “That look in your eyes almost scared this old man to death!”

“What are you waiting for!”

He returned to his cold expression and said, “Hurry up and act!”

“C…Captain…” A subordinate pointed at the dark mountain forest ahead, his voice trembling, “There… there are fierce beasts…”

Hou Kun kicked him in the rear, cursing, “Have you never seen fierce beasts before!”

Just then, he discovered his other subordinates also wore terrified expressions, so he cursed loudly, “Look at all of you—how can you follow me in the future!”

As he spoke, he turned to look, his facial expression immediately freezing, his mouth gradually opening.

“Thud.”

From the dark mountain forest, Hurricane Wolves stepped out on wind vortices, step by step.

Weren’t they just wolf beasts?

Had Hou Kun and his subordinates never seen them before?

They definitely had, but the wolf beasts appearing weren’t just one—there was a large pack!

Thud! Thud!

One Hurricane Wolf after another, eyes emitting blue light, walked out from the darkness, their numbers so great it was difficult to estimate in a short time!

What was even more terrifying—

Among the wolf pack was a wolf beast with a majestic physique, clearly the king among wolves!

“Captain…”

A subordinate swallowed his saliva, his hand trembling as he said, “This is… a Hurricane Wolf pack!”

Hou Kun said in disbelief, “Aren’t these powerful wolf packs all in the deepest regions? How could they appear in the Fifth Region!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the side, making everyone’s backs run cold!

He stiffly turned around and saw a lion beast whose entire body seemed composed of ice blocks, spewing cold energy as it walked out from the darkness.

“This is…”

Hou Kun said in shock, “An Ice Crystal Lion Beast!”

“Hiss!”

The subordinates collectively sucked in cold air.

Hurricane Wolf pack on the left, Ice Crystal Lion Beast on the right—their situation was extremely dire!

“Gentlemen.”

Jun Changxiao raised his hand and said, “Please rest assured as you become food in their mouths.”

“Snap!”

He snapped his fingers!
