"Alas…"
The next moment, a sigh echoed in Yuedan's ears.
Immediately, a chill ran up the Werewolf youth's spine. His gaze remained fixed forward.
However, where Bai Luo had been, where was his figure now?
Yuedan quickly shifted his gaze, only to see Bai Luo, who had appeared right beside him at some unknown point, now crouching beside Xue Ji, checking her condition.
"When?!"
Yuedan's pupils constricted, and he instinctively gripped his broken blade.
But before he could do anything, a terrifying, unmatchable surge of magic washed over him.
"Ah!"
Intense pain, as if every bone in his body shattered from that single blow. Yuedan didn't know what happened; he was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
Houses collapsed, dust rose everywhere, and Yuedan lay sprawled in the ruins, clearly on his last breath.
"Don't worry."
Bai Luo held back: "I've calculated the force; you won't die."
SR-level Magic Manipulation allowed Bai Luo to use magic as easily as moving his own limbs.
While he couldn't yet achieve the level of crushing an ant without harming it, Bai Luo was very confident in controlling his strength so as not to directly kill Yuedan.
Bai Luo didn't know who this person named Yuedan was.
But he had said so much just now.
Between the secret medicine and the Order, it was clear this guy knew a lot.
Bai Luo planned to keep him alive for now and interrogate him.
As for Xue Ji, after careful examination, Bai Luo found that the sword not only tore the skin on her back but also reached her spine and heart.
"Truly ruthless, aiming directly for her life."
Bai Luo sighed, "Fortunately, I can heal this wound."
Strands of silver-white magic emerged from Bai Luo's palm, and under his control, they transformed into even finer silken threads.
The silver threads burrowed into Xue Ji's wound, mending the Fox-eared girl's heart.
At the same time, Bai Luo stimulated her cells with magic, causing them to divide rapidly.
The role of magic in this world is extremely broad; it can not only be used for combat, defense, analysis, and perception, but also for creating flesh and blood from nothing.
As for the severed spine,
The silver-white magic began to materialize.
They replicated the girl's bone marrow and nerves, then reconstructed the missing parts.
'So warm…'
Feeling Bai Luo's magic, Xue Ji felt as if she was bathing in a hot spring. Despite being in the cold snow, Xue Ji felt a peace and security she had never experienced before.
Soon, Xue Ji's injuries healed completely.
Bai Luo withdrew his magic, then helped her stand up under her surprised and bewildered gaze.
"My, my body…"
Awakening, Xue Ji felt incredibly unbelievable: "Am I dreaming?"
The intense pain just now couldn't have been fake.
But after suffering such an injury, not only was she alive, but she was also standing.
Was such a thing truly possible?
"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency?"
Xue Ji didn't know why Bai Luo saved her, but the White Fox girl kept in mind that he was her savior.
Bai Luo did not hide anything, telling Xue Ji his origin and purpose in full detail.
The destruction of Xiawu Village, how he brought Hongye and the other Beast-eared girls to Yaohu Village seeking refuge, but the result was such a scene.
"You must be disappointed, Lord Bai Luo."
Xue Ji's attitude was extremely respectful. Her fox ears drooped, and her heart was filled with guilt and sorrow: "As you can see, Yaohu Village has also been invaded, and we are now unable to protect ourselves."
At this, Xue Ji began to search for Yuedan's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Bai Luo's slap just now had sent the other party flying, and he was now lying unconscious dozens of meters away.
"I saw that you two seemed to know each other, so I held back."
Bai Luo explained, while Xue Ji clenched her fists secretly.
She understood his meaning; he was leaving her the opportunity for personal revenge.
"His name is Yuedan; he is the son of Big Wolf Village's chief and also my fiancé."
However, the hatred for her mother's murder was irreconcilable.
No matter the reason, no matter the relationship.
Just based on this, the two had only one choice left: endless conflict.
"After you've had your revenge, come with us."
As for the survivors of Yaohu Village, Bai Luo had arrived too late; only the magic of young adult Beastmen remained in the village.
Their aura was distinctly different from Xue Ji's, clearly indicating they were invaders.
However, some people had managed to escape.
Bai Luo expanded his magic, marking these Beastmen to make it easier for them to find later.
Since he had already decided to protect Hongye and the others, Bai Luo didn't mind taking in a few dozen more Beastmen.
"This concubine will follow your arrangements."
Xue Ji did not ask Bai Luo for help with her revenge.
She knew the true nature of this slaughter; the invading beastmen came from two large villages, and to be their enemy was to be an enemy of the West-East Tribe.
If she were to put Bai Luo in danger because of herself, wouldn't that be ungrateful?
What Xue Ji most despised were unfaithful villains.
"There will be a chance in the future," Bai Luo said, and Xue Ji's eyes immediately lit up. She then silently followed his footsteps, her gratitude growing stronger.
Bai Luo had no intention of getting involved in the internal conflicts of the beastmen.
But Xue Ji could.
If Xue Ji wanted revenge in the future, Bai Luo would not stop her.
The West-East Tribe destroyed Yaohu Village, and for Xue Ji to destroy these two villages for revenge, that would be karmic retribution.
Bai Luo was not a Buddha; he couldn't spout nonsense like 'when will vengeance ever end'.
Moreover, even if he were truly a Buddha, a Buddha could not represent Xue Ji's deceased clansmen.
"He's right ahead."
Soon, led by Bai Luo, the two found Yuedan lying on the ground.
Sharp claws emerged from the white fox girl's hand, and the faintly appearing Magic Power made one have no doubt of their sharpness; they could instantly tear through the wolf youth's throat.
"Goodbye, Yuedan."
Recalling bits and pieces of the past, then looking at the current devastation and the cruel reality of her mother's death.
Tears streamed down Xue Ji's cheeks, and her hand, before the tears fell, pierced Yuedan's chest, crushing his heart.
Bai Luo did not find the girl cruel.
If she could even spare the person who killed her own mother, Bai Luo would find such a 'holy mother' disgusting.
Not to mention, Yuedan had just tried to kill her.
As for getting information from Yuedan…
With so many beastmen in the village, there should be one or two who knew the inside story.
In fact, in that short moment, Bai Luo, through his hearing enhanced by Magic Power, had heard many keywords such as 'Order' and 'secret medicine'.
"I apologize for letting you see me in such a disheveled state."
Xue Ji stood up, her clothes already stained red with blood, and her faintly trembling hands showed that her emotions were far from calm.
"Sigh~~"
Bai Luo shook his head helplessly; he could only lament the cruelty of the Alien World he had transmigrated to.
What kind of place was this, after all?
He had finally encountered people he could communicate with, only for them to suffer village massacres and clan exterminations one after another.
Did it really have to be this brutal?
'Is this the Alien World?'
Bai Luo sighed, 'It's a bit terrifying.'
"Huh?"
Bai Luo, who was about to grab a few 'tongues' before taking Xue Ji away, suddenly stopped.
"Someone's coming."
At this moment, an unfamiliar Magic Power abruptly entered Bai Luo's perception.
The movement speed of this Magic Power was extremely fast.
One moment it was outside the village, but the next, the opponent had already rushed into Yaohu Village, and was approaching his location at an astonishing speed.
"What fast movement speed."
Before Bai Luo could discern carefully, the subsequent disappearance of a large number of Magic Power auras made him frown: "Did a strong individual from the West-East Tribe make a move?"
The disappeared Magic Power belonged to the adult beastmen of the West-East Tribe in the village.
'That's not right.'
Bai Luo was a bit confused: 'Why would people from the West-East Tribe kill their own kind?'
But if the opponent wasn't a beastman from the West-East Tribe, then who was it?
'The Order?'
Bai Luo thought of the Order Yuedan had mentioned earlier: 'This Order has something to it; it can actually send out such a formidable guy.'
Although they hadn't met yet, through his Magic Power perception, Bai Luo was certain that the opponent was definitely a strong individual far surpassing Yuedan, the black-clad swordsman, and the beastmen.
"Lord Bai Luo?"
Xue Ji did not possess Bai Luo's powerful perception. Seeing Bai Luo stop, she immediately prepared to ask.
"Here!"
"What?"
Xue Ji was startled at first, then followed Bai Luo's gaze.
"Boom!!"
The next moment, a deafening explosion soared into the sky.
Only to see towering flames split open, hundreds of houses all shattered, and countless stone fragments surged towards the two like a tsunami.
"This?!"
Xue Ji's pupils contracted slightly.
Despite being at such a critical moment, Xue Ji not only failed to react or dodge, she didn't even know what had happened.
However, what surprised Bai Luo was that in such a crisis, Xue Ji's first reaction was not to escape.
Although slow, through the girl's muscle reaction, Bai Luo knew that she wanted to stand in front of him and endure the impact of the explosion with her body.
"Bang!"
Bai Luo's lips curled slightly, and silver-white Magic Power enveloped Xue Ji.
Before the explosion approached, a dazzling silver light instantly tore apart everything in front.
Amidst the clash of metal, a passage running from south to north, Run through the entire Yaohu Village, was forcefully opened by the silver light pushing against purple Magic Power.
"Hahaha~~"
A childish yet arrogant laugh came from the front.
It was a boy, wearing a paper bag over his head, with only two holes cut out for his eyes.
Through the holes, the boy's sharp gaze was fixed on Bai Luo, who had blocked his probing attack.
"Magic Power!"
"What immense Magic Power!"
In the boy's perception, Bai Luo was like a demonic dragon emitting overwhelming power.
Just by standing there, every cell in the boy's body began to cheer with excitement.
"Interesting!!!"
Sid was originally engaged in his daily routine of hunting down thieves and accumulating funds for the Shadowbroker's operations.
Noticing the movement of beastmen in the northern territory, Sid crossed the mountains and successfully slaughtered all the bandits in the village.
However, Sid never expected that a seemingly ordinary stroll would lead him to encounter such an existence.
"Sizzle sizzle!"
In mid-air, Bai Luo's palm collided with a sword as black as ink.
Magic Power clashed, instantly sending sparks flying.
"Hmm?"
The two sides were in a stalemate for a moment. Looking at Bai Luo, who remained unmoved, Sid was shocked, but at the same time, an endless joy surged within him.
"You're kidding, right?"
Xue Ji's pupils dilated in shock. The Magic Power collision just now: "Is this really Magic Power that a human can possess?"
Just the collision of the two unleashed a terrifying Magic Power storm to such an extent.
If Bai Luo hadn't been standing there, blocking the opponent's aura, Xue Ji had no doubt that Sid could have directly leveled Yaohu Village with the dissipated Magic Power.
"Bang!"
However, the sword in Sid's hand, formed from Slime, suddenly shattered.
"What?"
The next moment, the boy's pupils sharply contracted.
In his line of sight, Bai Luo's palm, carrying immense force, forcefully broke through the Magic Power he used to protect himself with an overwhelming momentum.
"So strong!"
Sid knew Bai Luo was strong, but he never expected him to be this powerful.
The quality of that Magic Power was even superior to his own current Magic Power!
"Boom!"
Bai Luo's palm descended. A seemingly ordinary strike, yet it left a huge crater with a radius of several tens of meters in front.
The exaggerated destructive power, even though Xue Ji had mentally prepared for Bai Luo's strength, still left her mind shaken and dumbfounded.
"You've got something."
Bai Luo waved his hand. He looked at the boy who had appeared at the edge of the crater and said truthfully, "But not much."
'So, it's this world?'
Upon seeing the boy, Bai Luo had already figured out what kind of world he was in.
The opponent's attire was almost identical to that of the protagonist in a work called "The Eminence in Shadow" that Bai Luo had watched before transmigrating.
'Immense Magic Power, roughly half (one-twentieth) of mine, but considering his age...'
'Shadow's Magic Growth level must be above SR+1.'
Looking at Sid, his age should be between 8 and 10, while Bai Luo was already 20.
With a difference of six or seven years, it was perfectly normal for Sid's current Magic Power to be less than his own.
However, Shadow's talent didn't seem as exaggerated as Bai Luo had imagined.
"Magic Control is currently unknown. If it's just Magic Growth, it's probably around SR+4, or +5."
Very strong, but not as strong as Bai Luo had imagined.
'It seems the value of SSR is higher than I thought.'
Bai Luo thought this and was about to go forward to communicate, but Sid asked first, "Are there also strong individuals like you among the thieves?"
"Thieves?"
Bai Luo was startled, but he quickly reacted.
He remembered that Shadow in the original work was like this, hunting down bandits and human traffickers everywhere.
Looking at the current situation, the other party had clearly mistaken him for a bandit who had invaded Yaohu Village.
However, Bai Luo sensed the disappearing life auras in the village: 'This guy, killed everyone?'
