WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 188: Yang Lie Suffers A Major Loss!

Somewhere deep within the forest...

Two men in blue robes stood silently beneath the trees, the crest of the Miu Family embroidered boldly on their chests.

Standing before them was Yang Lie.

One of the men stepped forward, his voice cold and emotionless.

"Hey, you. Stay right here. Our Elder wants a word with you."

Yang Lie narrowed his eyes.

"Who are you people? I don’t recall ever meeting you."

The second man replied, his tone dismissive.

"You don’t need to know. Just wait, and everything will become clear."

Yang Lie’s face twisted with anger.

"Then you have no right to stop me."

Then—

Swoosh!

With a single, fluid motion, his sword flashed through the air.

In the blink of an eye, both men were decapitated—their heads hitting the ground almost simultaneously, followed by their lifeless bodies collapsing into the forest soil.

Yang Lie scoffed inwardly as he began walking forward.

’Some nobodies dare to block my path? Hmph. Fucking idiots.’

His gaze shifted toward the cave ahead.

’The system issued a quest: I must save a girl hidden deep within that cave. If I fail, the system will be sealed for two weeks—so it’s clearly a crucial mission. The reward is also excellent. No matter what, I have to complete it.’

But then—

A deep, commanding voice echoed from behind him.

"Where do you think you’re going, brat? Did you really think you could walk away after killing members of the Miu Family?"

Yang Lie’s heart skipped a beat.

’What? I didn’t even sense anyone behind me...’

He spun around.

And what he saw made him freeze in place.

A crowd had emerged from the forest shadows—more than a hundred and fifty people, surrounding him like an unstoppable tide.

At the front stood Elder Miu Shen, flanked by his elite Miu Family squad. Beside him were Elder Miu Bin, Captain Miu Lin, Captain Miu Jin, and members from Squad Four and Squad Six.

But that wasn’t all.

Great Elder Min Jiu was there as well—accompanied by the best elite squad of the Min Family, and behind them, Elders and Great Elders from other powerful families, each with their strongest cultivators.

They had all gathered here, led by Miu Shen, to avenge their fallen Young Masters.

Though most had come not for justice—but for the political and personal gains that their deaths would bring.

Miu Shen raised his hand and roared,

"What are you waiting for?! That’s the bastard we’ve been hunting— kill him!"

Yang Lie’s eyes widened.

"W-Wait—What?!"

But before he could utter another word, the forest erupted in chaos.

They attacked all at once.

...

"Hahh... hahh..."

Yang Lie panted heavily, each breath ragged and labored.

Hours had passed.

His body was battered, bloodied, and broken. His robe hung in shreds, soaked in crimson.

Blood dripped from his lips, and two deep gashes tore across his back, leaking freely.

Both arms hung limply, bones fractured, his fingers trembling from sheer exhaustion.

And yet—he still stood.

All around him, the forest floor was littered with corpses—over fifty elite cultivators, once proud warriors, now lifeless husks.

But the true monsters still remained—untouched.

The Elders. The Great Elders. Not a single one had sustained a wound.

"As expected," Elder Miu Shen muttered, eyes narrowing. "This bastard is strong—dangerously strong. His techniques are filled with strange tricks and terrifying power."

Elder Miu Bin stroked his long beard, eyes cold.

"It’s no wonder those Legendary Beasts chose him as their master—those proud, stubborn creatures never acknowledge anyone who doesn’t meet their standards or possess legendary abilities."

"He’s only at the Mid-Stage Foundation Realm," remarked Great Elder Min Jiu from the sidelines, "and yet he’s slain so many of our Peak-Stage Foundation cultivators. That’s no ordinary feat."

Miu Shen’s gaze sharpened.

"But even now... he’s not summoning his Beast Slaves. If he had, this would’ve ended long ago—and we’d already be forced to intervene."

Another elder from the gathering scowled.

"What, is he mocking our family? Does he think our elite cultivators aren’t even worth his full strength?"

"If that’s what he believes..." Elder Miu Bin’s eyes burned with fury. "Then I’ll personally make him take this seriously!"

With that, he soared through the air like a vengeful storm, charging straight toward Yang Lie.

"Hehe... now this is going to be fun to watch," Elder Shen said with an amused smirk.

"Yeah," the others murmured in agreement, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

’Where the hell did all these fuckers come from?!’ Yang Lie cursed in his mind, staggering backward.

’Damn it... I already used everything I had—every last trump card just to take down those elite bastards. Now all I’ve got left is the one tied to the system!’

His heart pounded with rage.

’Legendary Beasts... Legendary Beasts... what a fucking joke!’

Swoosh!

With a wild scream, he slashed another opponent down, blood spraying through the air.

"I said I have no Legendary Beasts!"

Swoosh!

Another flash of his sword. Another corpse hit the ground.

"I didn’t kill your Young Master! Why won’t any of you believe me?!"

BAM!

BOOM!

CRASH!

Suddenly, a crushing force slammed into his back—a palm strike heavier than a mountain.

"AGHHHHHH!!"

Yang Lie screamed in agony as he was hurled through the forest, crashing through trees like a broken doll.

COUGH!

Blood sprayed from his mouth as his body skidded and rolled for hundreds of meters before finally slamming into the base of a massive tree.

The forest trembled from the impact.

Several bones in his back cracked from the blow, courtesy of Elder Miu Bin—a High-Stage Golden Core Realm expert whose palm strike could level mountains.

Yang Lie gasped, barely able to breathe.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Elder Miu Bin appeared before Yang Lie, his eyes cold and merciless.

"If you won’t summon your Legendary Beasts... then die. We’ll take them from your corpse."

His palm crackled with lethal energy as he raised it, ready to strike the finishing blow.

But then—

Ding!

A faint chime echoed in Yang Lie’s fading consciousness as a glowing red panel flickered before his blurred eyes:

[Warning! Warning!]

[Host is in mortal danger. Activating system-linked Automatic Danger-Sensing Teleportation Talisman.]

Shoosh!

A burst of brilliant light exploded between them.

And just like that—Yang Lie vanished.

BOOM!

Elder Miu Bin’s strike hit nothing but air.

"W-What?!" he barked, eyes wide. "Where did he go?! Damn it—I was so close!"

Grinding his teeth, he turned and roared at the others:

"That bastard ran off! Spread out—everyone! Find him, now! Search every inch of this forest—turn over every rock, every blade of grass if you have to!"
