Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 37

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: What Do You Mean? To Kill You, Of Course.

Si Muye was already tense and on guard. Just as the sharp dagger was about to pierce his chest, he shot his fist out to block the blow.

He snatched the man’s wrist, his eyes narrowing.

"Brother, what is the meaning of this?"

The man froze, shocked that Si Muye had seen through his scheme.

His expression immediately darkened. Dropping the act, his tone shifted entirely.

"To think that after so many years, you’ve become so wary of your own brother. I must say, I’m surprised, Third Brother!"

With that, he twisted his wrist and struck out with his palm, breaking free from Si Muye’s grasp.

He spun the dagger around and lunged at him again.

"What’s the meaning? I’m here to take your life, of course!"

Si Muye’s eyes widened. ’I can’t believe it... A Yue was right all along!’

’She predicted this exactly!’

He had no time to overthink it. He threw himself backward, dodging the fatal blow.

But this only invited an even more ferocious assault from the man.

Si Muye didn’t dare let his guard down. After all, this man knew his fighting style inside and out, having watched him train since they were children.

To stay alive, he stopped fighting in his usual manner.

He threw a feint, then instantly followed with a flying kick.

The man hadn’t expected the change in tactics. Caught off guard, he took the full force of the kick and staggered back several steps.

A pained look filled Si Muye’s eyes as he stared at him.

"Why?"

’Why does he want to kill me?’

Helian steadied himself, his eyes filled with malice. He sneered.

"For the Patriarch’s seat, of course. Did you really think I cared about our ’deep brotherly bond’?"

As he spoke, Helian wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.

"It seems your spiritual power hasn’t just recovered, it’s actually improved. In that case, I have all the more reason not to let you leave here alive!"

He shot a look at his surrounding men.

"What are you waiting for? Kill him!"

"Yes!"

At once, all of them swarmed Si Muye.

This was no longer a test of his strength. They were fighting to kill, leaving him no room to escape, each blow aimed to be fatal.

Si Muye was fighting one against ten. These men from the Ancient Bear Family all had high spiritual power, around A level, and they were all warriors with meticulously honed combat skills.

Therefore, even when fighting with his full spiritual power, the prolonged, grueling battle was beginning to take its toll on Si Muye.

As time ticked by, the surrounding forest was left in a state of utter ruin.

And still, Si Muye fought on desperately.

"Third Brother, even if you’ve recovered your health and spiritual power, you’re still facing ten of the Ancient Bear Family’s finest warriors. Let’s see how long you can hold out!"

Seeing Si Muye’s movements slow, Helian’s lips curved into a triumphant smirk.

Si Muye was indeed nearing exhaustion, but Helian’s words caused a surge of energy to flare up around him, his gaze hardening with resolve.

His attacks turned vicious. Unleashing a sudden, astonishing burst of power, he slammed his fist into a warrior’s head.

The man flew several meters through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

’I won’t let Helian get his way.’

’I have to get back to A Yue.’

’I can’t let Helian kill me here.’ 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The surrounding warriors were unnerved by his sudden burst of ferocity and exchanged uneasy glances.

None of them had expected it. After such a long and grueling fight, despite the numerous injuries he had sustained, how could Si Muye still unleash such astonishing power?

Helian, watching from the side, narrowed his eyes. He clearly hadn’t expected this either. He stared suspiciously at Si Muye. Years ago, Si Muye’s body had been damaged, causing his spiritual power to degrade significantly.

It was a known fact that spiritual power degradation caused by physical injury was incredibly difficult to reverse.

Not even an S Class Healing Doctor could manage it, much less restore degraded spiritual power and then raise it by an entire tier.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Si Muye’s spiritual power had likely already surpassed the S+ level and seemed on the verge of breaking through it.
