Chapter 640: Chapter 639: Tiger Enters the Flock of Sheep

Higgins King changed into his riding boots, draped a cape around himself, and attached a sword to his waist, surrounded by a gathering of around twenty to thirty people.

After being brought over, the guard named Leah Erickson directly threw a suit of armor to Yusuf Zuck, "Put this on, you can’t dress casually when you go out on missions in the future."

"Alright," Yusuf Zuck, seeing that everyone was dressed uniformly, had no objections and ran to the gatehouse to change into the armor.

"Haha, not bad, imposing! Let’s go, set off!" Higgins King laughed heartily and with a flick of his riding whip, a troop of more than thirty riders sped off in a cloud of dust.

Riding at the very back was Yusuf Zuck, whose equestrian skills were quite poor; though he rode a fine horse, he seemingly couldn’t synchronize perfectly with it.

Although the cultivation level of the guard named Leah Erickson wasn’t impressive, Yusuf Zuck noticed that the man always stayed by Higgins King’s side, obviously enjoying a close relationship with the Prince.

After leaving the city, the group followed a small path, then crossed through a wooded area before hitting the main road and continuing straight ahead.

Yusuf Zuck had no idea where they were heading for the hunt, so he could only follow along.

Approximately when night fell, they reached the foot of a mountain and stopped, while Leah Erickson dismounted and climbed up, soon disappearing into the woods.

Yusuf Zuck felt something was very strange. Hunting in the woods seemed like a poor idea, first because horses couldn’t enter, second because the mountain appeared to be inhabited, and third because Leah Erickson had carried a backpack with him up the mountain, which Yusuf Zuck had sneakily checked with telekinesis and saw contained a rabbit.

He didn’t know what mysterious plans Higgins King and Leah Erickson had, but by this time, everyone had also sat down. Higgins King, when with his subordinates, seemed to drop all pretense of formality, even drinking and laughing heartily with them in turn, causing the group to burst into laughter.

Among the thirty people, there were a few skilled fighters, and although not as strong as the blue-bearded cultivator, they were likely at the Realm of Great Fetal Respiration or even higher.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Leah Erickson returned and whispered something in Higgins King’s ear.

"Haha, my prey has run up the mountain? Then let’s search the mountain, come on, let’s move!" Higgins King laughed loudly and led his men into the woods towards the hill.

Since all were skilled fighters, they moved through the forest at incredible speeds, including Higgins King who ran at the forefront.

After traveling for about two hours, Yusuf Zuck saw a garden in the forest planted with vegetables, but Higgins King acted as if he saw nothing, leading a large group straight through the vegetable garden.

Yusuf Zuck began to understand, but was also incredibly curious; Higgins King seemed to intentionally trample more than necessary, and after thirty people passed through, the vegetable garden was flattened!

Past the vegetable garden, there appeared an enclosure surrounded by a high fence on the mountainside, which was free of weeds and instead grew strange flowers and small fruits that Yusuf Zuck had never seen before!

"Hey, I see the rabbit I shot, it’s inside there!" exclaimed Higgins King as he jumped over the fence, continuing to trample with a wide stride.

Yusuf Zuck was certain that he was deliberately destroying the garden.

Yusuf Zuck found it rather amusing and trampled as well, thinking that as long as the other party was the Prince, no wrongdoing would befall him even if he swaggered about.

"Who goes there? How dare you, halt, stop immediately!" As the group of more than thirty circled the area in search of the supposed rabbit, two angry and panicked shadows rushed towards them from a distance.

"Who dares?" Leah Erickson and the guards swiftly drew their swords and closed in to surround the two figures in black.

"You’ve got some nerve, thieves! Who are you to dare steal from our Sect’s medicinal garden?" Instead of showing fear, the two figures stood tall and drew their swords to confront Leah Erickson and the others!

"Nonsense, get them, calling me a thief? Is this treason?" Higgins King grunted angrily.

With a clang, Leah Erickson took the offensive, and the guards close to him also lunged forward; however, they didn’t aim for the vital parts of the two figures in black as if intentionally sparing them.

The two figures in black fought while retreating, one of them even blowing a whistle that let out a whistling sound.

After the sound of three long and two short whistles, Leah Erickson suddenly pulled out a bow from his robes and let loose arrows!

"Thud, thud," two figures in black were hit straight in the heart!

Yusuf Zuck had been standing behind Higgins King all this while. He hadn’t made a move. Of course, he also knew that Higgins King wasn’t out for a hunt but deliberately looking for a quarrel to kill someone, though he didn’t know whom the medicinal garden belonged to or what exactly Higgins King intended.

The night had grown very dark, and after the two in black were killed, everyone else continued their pretense of searching for the prey.

"Yusuf, do you think these two deserved to die?" Higgins King asked, pointing to the two figures lying in pools of blood.

"If the Prince says they deserve to die, then they deserve to die!" Yusuf Zuck responded, cupping his fists.

"Then why didn’t you act just now?" Higgins King didn’t turn around but spoke with his back facing Yusuf Zuck.

Yusuf Zuck simply chuckled, "They were just two worthless men; I wasn’t interested in killing!"

"Hahaha." Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Higgins King burst into laughter, "What a big talker you are, aren’t they at the same level as you? All Innate!"

"I can fight above my weight!" Yusuf Zuck said after some thought.

"Good, there will be even more formidable enemies appearing later, and I would like to see you kill them!" Higgins King said with a smile.

"Alright, I got it," Yusuf Zuck nodded, sensing that Higgins King seemed to want to test him.

However, this was a good thing. The useless are doomed to be disregarded, only those who are useful can gain more!

Indeed, it wasn’t long before a series of whooshing sounds rushed over, and dozens of figures appeared around the herb garden, leaping like monkeys through the forest.

"Audacious thieves!" Because the night was so dark, the newcomers could only see quite a few people holding torches, trampling their herb garden, so angry voices filled the air immediately!

"Who dares to scare off the Prince’s prey, your entire family will be killed for this!" Leah Erickson shouted sternly.

"The Prince?" Upon hearing these two words, everyone who had arrived gasped, and then two sorcerers in green robes stepped forward boldly; the others, hiding in or behind trees, also jumped down and gathered around.

"Clay Wright, the Sect Leader of the Hexagon Gate, greets the Higgins King!" Clay Wright was over forty years old, with a cultivation level of Big Fetus Breath, and the person next to him was also at the Little Fetal Breath Realm. Apart from a few who were at the Foundation Establishment level, everyone else was in the Innate Realm!

"Oh, so it’s Sect Leader Wright, my apologies, my apologies. These two men were yours, weren’t they? They just tried to assassinate me but were killed by my guard’s random arrows," Higgins King said, pointing at two figures in black on the ground.

"Then, may I ask why Higgins King would enter my Hexagon Gate herb garden at night?" Clay Wright asked with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"This is your sect’s herb garden, is it? My apologies, my apologies. I was hunting just now, and a rabbit I shot ran in here, so I brought people over to chase it. You wouldn’t know, but my beloved wife and son just returned home, and my son loves rabbit meat. It took a lot of effort to shoot one, and it ran over here."

"Since the young prince likes rabbit meat, our Hexagon Gate also raises them. I will send some to the Prince later," Wright said indifferently.

"No need, I want wild rabbits! You all retreat, I will continue to look for it," Higgins King waved his hand and said.

"Even if you are a Prince, you cannot trespass on private property, enter our sect’s herb garden, destroy it, and kill at will. Do you think our Hexagon Gate is easy to bully?" Finally, a woman could no longer hold back and stood up, shouting angrily.

The woman seemed to be in her twenties at most, dressed in red, holding a whip in her hand.

Higgins King’s expression darkened instantly, and he gave the woman a fierce look. However, just as he was about to speak, Yusuf Zuck, standing behind him, suddenly took a step forward. A dagger flew out of his sleeve!

With a "pfft," no one had time to react, and his dagger had already pierced the woman’s throat!

"Under the heavens, all is the King’s land; on the borders of the land, all are the King’s subjects. The Hexagon Gate dares to threaten the Imperial Royal Family; this is a crime of great disloyalty, kill!" Yusuf Zuck shouted, as he rushed out toward Clay Wright!

"Ah, I will kill you all!" The woman seemed to be a relative of Clay Wright, so upon seeing her own family member killed with a single strike, she roared in rage and charged at Yusuf Zuck with her sword drawn!

Higgins King’s eyebrows shot up. This Yusuf Zuck was indeed decisive in killing; he hadn’t even given an order, and the man had already started slaughtering, daring to engage Clay Wright in combat.

"Start fighting, he is no match for Clay Wright!" Higgins King said indifferently.

"Swoosh swoosh—" The two Armored Guards beside him suddenly leapt out, while Leah Erickson moved back to stand in front of Higgins King.

At the same time, others also sprang into action, rolling over toward the members of the Hexagon Gate like tigers pouncing on rabbits.

But... just then, before the battle could even begin, a scream came from Clay Wright, and then, to everyone’s shock, they saw both of his arms severed, blood spurting from his throat. He kept retreating, pointing at Yusuf Zuck in horror, unable to voice a single word!

Higgins King was taken aback. The two guards who had charged to Yusuf Zuck’s side to help were also shocked, for they had never expected that Clay Wright, the Sect Leader of the Hexagon Gate, would be defeated by this... this man who was only at the Innate Realm!

No, killed in battle!

As blood spurted out of Wright’s throat, he also toppled backward.

Even more shocking to them was how Yusuf Zuck’s sword was still at his waist; he had not even drawn it. He had killed the Sect Leader of the Big Fetus Breath Realm using nothing but his bare fists!

"Kill!" Yusuf Zuck didn’t give the others time to think but roared as he charged into the crowd.

His fists, like two giant iron hammers, smashed down, penetrating chests and shattering heads. Moreover, his movements were bizarre—whether it was the enemy’s swords or knives, any attempt to strike him was easily dodged!

Like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep, he ferociously pounced and bit at the people of the Hexagon Gate!

Higgins King took a deep breath and murmured, "Strong as an elephant, this man possesses innate divine power!"
