“Damn it! It was all your fight! You’re going to pay for this!”

Despaired, Mighty Elephant, the fourth brother and also the most irascible one, had a nervous breakdown. With bloodshot eyes, he picked up a copper pipe that resembled an elephant trunk and charged at the “ghosts”.

“Awoo!”

However, the pack of wolves stopped him as well as the rest of the beasts.

“Out of my way!”

The “elephant trunk” struck down at a male wolf that was about half the height of a grown man.

The fourth brother had used the elephant as his nickname, so it was easy to tell that he was born with tremendous physical strength. The copper pipe in his hand had been forged into the shape of an elephant trunk, and it was filled with wrought iron. If he struck the defiant wolf with it, the weight would be more than enough to kill the beast.

Pa!

The “elephant trunk” stopped abruptly before it hit the wolf’s head. With a flash of yellow light, Ji Ye reached out and held the tip of the pipe.

He did it so effortlessly that he seemed to stop the copper pipe with a single finger.

“What?!”

The other Shi brothers looked surprised.

Because Shi the Fourth had such great strength that he wasn’t much weaker than an elephant. Even the Blue Armor Lion King, the most powerful one of the brothers, wouldn’t take the strike when Shi the Fourth was frenzied.

However, not only did Ji Ye catch the pipe with one hand, but by the look of it, he didn’t use much strength at all.

Moreover, they couldn’t tell how Ji Ye had shown up in front of Shi the Third.

“Brother, stop!”

The gaunt-faced Shi the Third was over Extraordinary Rank-5. Although he had been badly injured, he still had sharp eyes. He could tell that Ji Ye was more powerful and capable than the Mighty Elephant. He wanted to tell his brother to stand down so that he wouldn’t be injured by Ji Ye’s counterattack.

“Heave-ho!”

However, Shi the Fourth was reckless and stubborn. He held the copper pipe with both hands and pressed it down with all his strength.

This move mimicked the move of an elephant striking an object with its trunk and known as “Elephant Cuts into a Mountain”. Usually, the might of the strike could shatter a wall.

However, even when he used both hands and even with his inner strength, the copper “elephant trunk” wouldn’t move an inch. His face was scarlet red.

“Very nice strength. But not good enough!”

Ji Ye shook his head.

Pa!

Holding the pipe, he suddenly twisted it.

With his strength and the momentum of the twist, it should have grabbed the weapon from Shi the Fourth’s hand.

“Ha!”

However, the elephantine man had something fierce about him. Even when his hands were bleeding from the impact, he still wouldn’t let go of the pipe.

“Ah!”

The next moment, he cried out and let go.

Because the entire copper pipe turned red and hot, as if it was being heated.

Sizzle!

After that, the reddened copper pipe was tossed to the ground, melting the snow on the ground and creating a large amount of white mist.

“He has released his inner strength…”

Shi the Third’s face turned even more yellow.

He had more inner strength than his brothers and understood that for Ji Ye to be able to do that, he had to be very capable.

Moreover, Ji Ye obviously had some unique inner strength. He was actually able to heat up a long copper pipe in a matter of seconds. If Ji Ye hadn’t caught the pipe in time, one of the brothers might have died from it.

“Thank you for showing him mercy!”

After realizing that, Shi the Third stood up with shaking legs and cupped his hands at Ji Ye.

“I have some experience in treating internal injuries. Master Shi, if you trust me, how about letting me have a look at your injury?”

Ji Ye looked at the Blue Armored Lion King.

“Brother!”

Hearing that, the other four looked worried.

“It doesn’t matter. With his capability, if he really wants to do something to me, you won’t be able to stop him. Thank you, sir!”

Blue Armor Lion King shook his head at his brother before he smiled at Ji Ye.

Despite his injury, there was something authoritative about him.

“The way I treat people is rather special, please don’t resist…”

Ji Ye appreciated the man’s attitude.

He held Shi the Third’s arm and activated his Healing talent. White light immediately surrounded him.

“Well…”

The other brothers were baffled to see such a strange scene, but they saw hope as well.

“What kind of martial arts skill is that?”

Even the “ghosts” seemed nervous.

Because if Ji Ye could treat this man, they wouldn’t have to fight the beasts anymore.

About a minute later, the white light faded.

“Huh?”

The other four brothers watched him nervously.

Shi the Third closed his eyes to check his condition first before he looked surprised.

“My wound is at least 50% recovered!”

One could tell it from the look on his face. He now had some color on his jaundiced face, and he could stand still now.

“Master Shi’s injury isn’t too severe, but because it has been a while, I can’t cure him all at once,” Ji Ye said with a smile.

To convince the five brothers, he had to have some proof, so he started the treatment right away.

However, Shi Shugang, the Blue Armor Lion King, theoretically only had an Extraordinary injury, which Ji Ye hadn’t studied before.

Moreover, because the injury was quite severe, trying to cure it would significantly increase the Cooldown time of his Healing talent.

Therefore, he didn’t try to cure him all at once.

Plus, if he had really done it, the next step would become difficult.

“Sir, please help our brother. The Manor of Beasts will owe you a debt forever!”

They saw that their brother had indeed improved.

Moreover, the entire process took less than 5 minutes, and the other four brothers realized that they had found their savior. They looked pleasantly surprised and asked for Ji Ye’s help.

“Well…”

Ji Ye hesitated.

“Sir, is it because I’ve offended you earlier? If you can help my third brother, I’ll go down on my knees and kowtow 100 times. If that’s not enough, I’ll do 1,000, 10,000…”

The Mighty Elephant cried out. He then dropped to his knees.

“Please don’t do that!”

Ji Ye stopped him from kneeling down.

“It’s because I have other matters to attend to… To tell you the truth, I’m the head of the Twin Dragon Mount, and Master Guo and his wife have invited us here to attend the meeting. We’re going to stop the Yuan army from attacking Xiangyang City!” said Ji Ye after that.

“I see. Master Ji, you’re so busy with defending the country, and we shouldn’t have delayed you with a private matter like this.

“But my brother has suffered from his internal injury for a long time. Now that the fox is dead, you’re the only one who can save him. Please help us.

“As for defending Xiangyang City, the Manor of Beasts may not be a major sect, but fighting against the Yuan army is still our duty. Plus, to tell you the truth, my brother has been injured by a Yuan prince, and we were going to take revenge for him after he’s cured!”

Hearing that, the oldest of the brothers said so.

“I see!

“I have been wondering how an ordinary man could have hurt Master Shi because he’s so capable. Since the Yuan people have done that, I have to do something… But we need to take care of one thing first.”

Ji Ye was secretly relieved to find out that things had worked out better than he had expected.

But he didn’t let it show. Instead, he turned around and spoke to someone who was hiding in the background.

“Master Condor, you’ve arrived for a while. How about you settle your score with the ‘ghosts’ right here?”
