Talisman Emperor
Chapter 40 – Kill Bandits
The middle-aged burly man was named Liang Hu, and he was the leader of a famous bandit gang in Pine Mist City. His cultivation was only at the perfection stage of the Innate Realm, but relying on his ingenious and careful nature, he had always moved freely to this day, and he lived a very comfortable life.
The key was that he had never offended a disciple from a famous sect or a large clan, and he had only robbed and killed independent cultivators at the bottom of the society who had no status or position.
Three years ago, Liang Hu participated in the trial of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, and he knew everything in it like the back of his hand. He knew that in the place where Bloody Mountain and the Dusty Nightmare Area were connected, he could usually earn a very generous return when he used a layer of fog to hide his group and conduct raids. He had absolutely no need to waste any physical and mental effort to hunt ferocious beasts in order to obtain extremely bad pearls.
Most importantly, as long as he was a little cautious, Liang Hu really did not have to worry that his identity would leak out when he carried out the raids here. Even if the disciples of the sect were to die, their sect would mostly think that they would die under the fangs of ferocious beasts and would not place any suspicion on him.
With such thoughts in his heart, Liang Hu had brought over 10 Innate Realm subordinates to participate in the trial of the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain this time around in order to carry out arbitrary attacks.
Reality was indeed what Liang Hu thought, in just a few hours, he had already robbed and killed dozens of cultivators traveling alone, and obtained a large number of extremely bad pearls.
Nevertheless, Liang Hu was not blinded by his victory, and he still carefully selected cultivators traveling alone as the targets of his attacks.
However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that people traveling alone were not always weak, and a young-looking young man might not always be a beginner who depended on his compassion.
Just like .. Chen Xi who was in front of him.
Only a moment had passed since he attacked as he realized the calm killing intent that Chen Xi's eyes emitted, yet at this moment, Liang Hu instead had a strong feeling of extreme danger. He did not dare to hesitate and violently stomped his right foot on the ground, then used the disgusting power of trampling his body and swiftly leaping to the side.
However, it's too late.
Whooshing sound!
An astonishing sword light emerged from thin air and pierced through with an unimaginable speed that was as fast as lightning.
Liang Hu's body was still in the air when a sword hole suddenly appeared on the right side of his stomach and passed through his back, causing thick blood to suddenly come out.
"How ... How did this happen? I had already reached the perfection stage of the Innate Realm eight years ago, how could I not be able to block even a single attack? "Liang Hu fell to the ground and lowered his head to stare at the injury on his blood-soaked right abdomen, and his face was filled with disbelief.
"Boss!"
"Boss's hurt?"
"How could this possibly happen!?"
Liang Hu's subordinates were stunned when they saw their Boss' attack fail and were instead pierced by their enemy's sword, and only now did they jolt awake from their shock and exclaim in shock.
Liang Hu was their leader, and cultivating at the Innate Realm perfection stage already stood at the peak rank in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, but he was instead injured and fell to the ground in one fell swoop. This ... this is just an unimaginable matter!
Immediately, in the eyes of these bandits who were living a bloody life at the end of their blades, that young man standing there wielding a sword seemed to have instantly transformed from a little sheep into a cold-hearted expert, and it caused their hearts to thump in fear.
In fact, with Chen Xi's current cultivation, if he were to really go against Liang Hu, he did not dare to guarantee that he could injure Liang Hu with a single move. The only reason he was able to achieve it so easily this time around was the result of a formidable Power of Perception.
Initially when he heard Liang Hu's group's screams, he used the Power of Perception to sweep around. The power of Perception comparable to a Violet Palace Realm cultivator was able to clearly search through an area of 50 kilometers, and he had found absolutely no shadow of a package of monstrous beasts. How could he possibly fall in love with Liang Hu's trap?
While Liang Hu was completely unaware of this and only led Chen Xi into an inexperienced beginner. Under his carelessness and taking down the guards, he was naturally injured in one move by Chen Xi who had already gained insight into the matter.
The step! The step! The step!
Steady and rhythmic footsteps rang out, and Chen Xi had an icy cold expression as she held her sword in hand and walked forward with a heart filled with soaring killing intent.
He did not have the slightest impression of these bandits who invaded and killed people. If not for the formidable Power of Perception who had noticed something was not right, he had almost fallen in love with their trap and lost his life on the spot. At this moment, how could he possibly let these people be so easy?
Liang Hu firmly endured the intense pain as he crawled from the ground and shouted explosively. “Brothers, attack! No matter how tough he was, he was only one person. Kill him and the monstrous pearl in his hand will be ours! ”
"Boss right, he's just one man, what are we afraid of?"
"Right! This kid probably has a huge amount of really bad pearls in his possession! ”
"Kill!"
The ferocity of the bandits was successfully raised, and they all had crazy gazes as they surrounded Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was emotionless as usual. After cultivating bitterly in the southern barbarian mountain forest every night for the past three months while the life and death battle with the many greater Demon Realm had caused him to have already forgotten how many wounds which he received, and how much fresh blood he had sprayed.
The hands-on battle experience that Chen Xi forged through slaughter and bloodshed had caused Chen Xi to enter battle status once he decided to enter the battle.
Without hesitation, delaying, or uttering nonsense, all of his concentration was locked onto the approaching slaughter, and his mind was calm and filled with killing intent.
"Dead!"
The bandits realized with fear that within their field of vision, countless sword silhouettes were like huge nets made of sharp blades that arrived before them in an instant, cause they can't escape.
Pu's! Pu's! Pu's!
In the air, a thick thread of blood was like spraying lava as it erupted wherever he passed by.
This diligent and bitter training over the past three months caused Chen Xi's Chaotic Windsplit Sword Technique to have reached an advanced stage since time immemorial. In terms of the depth of his sword technique, it was comparable to that possessed by a Violet Palace Realm farmer, and it was far from something that could be compared to these useless bandits.
When Chen Xi had assessed his combat strength within the Self-Reflection Diary that he wrote every day, he called himself invincible under the Violet Palace Kingdom. Even the spirit of the Manor, Ji Yu, who had lived nearly a million years and had extremely critical eyes did not raise any doubts towards this. Thus it could be seen to what extent Chen Xi's combat power had changed.
Uhuk…
The disciples of the six bandits before him suddenly widened, and their expressions were stiff and savage. A bloody hole pierced through their entire throat, and they let out a terrifying and terrifying shrill cry before crashing onto the ground.
Even to the death, they had never imagined that Chen Xi's sword techniques would actually be so fast, fast to the point they had not even attacked when they fell lifelessly on the ground.
The weapons raised by the five remaining bandits froze in the air, and they stared blankly at their friends whose corpses were scattered on the ground. An inexplicable great fear that felt like two formless hands suffocating their necks surged all over their bodies, and they completely forgot to breathe!
Although they were bandits, not all of them had cultivation in the Innate world. It was not that they had never met such a ferocious person that was hard to deal with in the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, but they could usually obtain the final victory by relying on their numbers. However, at this moment, when they were faced with Chen Xi who had killing intent filled between his eyebrows, only now did they realize that such a wide gap actually existed between the two Innate Realm cultivators!
Die up!
In the blink of an eye, six of our innate world friends all died …
Their fighting spirit fell like an avalanche as they stared at the demon-like Chen Xi, and the five bandits all let out sharp cries of terror before wanting to escape.
Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound! Whooshing sound!
The azurebolt sword like fog fluttered as the blurred sword light carried a sharp howl, and it easily pierced through the back of the five bandits, causing blood to gush wherever it passed by.
For the past three months in carrying out a life and death fight with the fierce and cunning Innate Devils, the larger spirits had allowed Chen Xi to grasp a very important principle: Not holding back in the slightest when dealing with an enemy and making sure to kill his enemies.As quickly as possible is always the safest method.
He's not holding back. In his eyes, these extremely cruel and evil bandits were a group of animals, and their deaths were nothing to regret!
Liang Hu had long since been muddled by everything that had happened before him, and when he saw Chen Xi holding the Azurebolt Sword who was still dripping drops of blood and walking over, it was only when he saw Chen Xi was holding the Azurebolt Sword, his feet shivered before falling to his knees on the ground with a thud, then he emitted an extremely frightening scream. "I will give up all the bad pearls. Please don't kill me, Young Hero! ”
Chen Xi remained completely indifferent, and her expression was extremely cold and indifferent.
"I will fight with my life!" Liang Hu could not help but laugh sadly when he saw Chen Xi so firmly. Under the fear of his approaching death, he suddenly jumped up and a pitch-black dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, then he pounced forward before fiercely piercing his dagger towards Chen Xi's Dantian.
Whooshing sound!
A sword light flew out and Liang Hu's head separated from his body and flew high into the air. A blood pole that was as thick as a baby's arm came out from his broken neck and splattered on the ground.
Until now, the bandit group Liang Hu had all been killed on the spot!
If one were to see this scene, they would definitely be shocked by Chen Xi's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
“They really have more than 10,000 pearls very bad. These people had most likely robbed and killed quite a number of cultivators here. Truly a heinous crime! They deserve to die! ”
Chen Xi found the Hundred Treasure Bag from Liang Hu's corpse and measured it briefly. At the same time he was shocked by the number of extremely bad pearls within him, he was even more disgusted in his heart than the sinful bandits.
"In the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, no matter how one's cultivation was, their strength would definitely be limited to the perfection stage of the Innate Realm. I guess Su Jiao and Li Huai are the same as well. But the two of them were Violet Palace Realm cultivators, and were even core disciples of large clans. They may have a variety of tough trump cards. If I meet these two people, I wonder who will be the winner …? ”
After throwing all the extremely severe pearls he had gotten into his storage ring, Chen Xi quietly pondered for a moment before shaking her head, then turning around and leaving.
When he returned to their camp, Du Qingxi's group of three had just finished eating. When they saw Chen Xi return, they had absolutely never imagined that he had just experienced a bloody battle, and they greeted him before leaving.
Chen Xi would naturally not talk about what happened, and she followed closely behind. After walking for the time of the incense to burn, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
The originally pointed gray sky suddenly turned dark red, and the oppressive and irritable aura carried a stream of searing hot air as it attacked their faces.
There was no layer of fog here anymore, and their field of vision was vast. Chen Xi could see distant mountains soaring into the sky and large rocks of strange shape, sand still fluttering on the ground that was devoid of life.
A terrifying roar faintly sounded from afar, and when put together with the dark red sky, it caused one to feel extremely restrained.
“We will enter the Bloody Mountain from now onward. The real danger and slaughter is about to begin. Watch everybody. "A cold voice as the ice resounded. Du Qingxi stared at everything in the distance that was like a blood-colored world, and her expression was filled with seriousness.
