Like a flash, Keeton rushed out and gave the villager a single, strong punch.
A hole opened up in the villager's chest, and crimson, viscous liquid splashed out. The staggering villager then plopped to the ground, showing no signs of movement.
At that, the crowd calmed down.
Daemyn quickly glanced at his bodyguard and ordered, "Lencho, take them out!"
Lencho gave Keeton a smug look, a confident smile tugged at his lips. He looked at Daemyn and said, "Mr. Hsiang, don't worry. I'll take them out in no time, easy."
After speaking, he rushed out, even faster than Keeton. Straightaway, he rushed towards the other villagers. With a few swishes, the villagers were all beheaded.
His movements were natural and unrestrained, causing people to clap and cheer.
At that moment, Daemyn was no longer afraid. He went back to looking haughty and proud again. "They looked scary, but in truth, they' re all weaklings. Full attack; and kill all the monsters in the village!"
Evelyn and the others also gradually recovered from their fear. Because of Lencho and Keeton, they even felt excited, as if they were playing a real adventure game.
On the contrary, Jacques had a grave expression on his face. He leaned closer to Fade and muttered, "Mr. Chen, these villagers are similar to the mutated animals we fought in the previous forest. Could it be related?"
Fade gave a nod, "It must be. Also, according to the strength of mutated animals in the last forest, this is not just it. There should be masters who are much more powerful hidden in the village."
Upon listening, Jacques thought of the scene where he led the team in attacking the animals. The strongest mutated wild boars and black bears in the forest almost had the strength equivalent to a Black Level martial artist, and some of the team members nearly died if it was not for Fade.
As for the few mutated villagers that had just appeared, they were obviously weak. At most, they were only at the Yellow Level.
Therefore, what Fade said was very likely to be true. There were more powerful masters hidden in the village.
With such a thought, Jacques couldn't help shudder and went to remind Daemyn.
However, after seeing how Lencho and Keeton, who led the troops, had already killed more than a dozen villagers as easily as chopping vegetables, Daemyn's confidence was greatly boosted. He waved his hand and said, "Captain Huang, you don't have to be so timid. With Mr. Keeton here, any hidden master would be useless. It's just a piece of cake."
"But..." Jacques still wanted to talk some sense into him.
"There are no 'buts'. Lencho completing the mission quickly will benefit you too," Daemyn cut him off, then picked up his pace to catch up with those in front.
Occasionally, he would ask Lencho to spare him one or two weaker mutated villagers, so that he could kill them by himself.
He put on a big show in slaughtering them, immediately winning cheers and compliments.
Seeing that, Fade sneered. Daemyn himself was at the late stage of the Black Level. Him dealing with a few Yellow Level mutant villagers was not worth acclaiming at all.
It seemed that Daemyn was the kind of martial artist who relied on his family's resources to build himself up. Although he reached that stage, his fighting experience must be near zero.
In Fade's eyes, it was dismissive; but to Evelyn and the others, it was highly admirable as they cooed whenever Daemyn made a strike.
Some of them had even joined in with Daemyn's fun. At times, they would knock down the villagers and then squeal and jump for joy.
Obviously, these wealthy youngsters had regarded the place as an adventure game. They weren't treating the situation seriously at all.
At that moment, a strong smell of blood filled the air.
