9 Ch 9 Journey begins (1/2)

The first day was uneventful as Lan Long ran for an entire day as he covered a distance of 10,000 kilometers. He stopped in a forest and lied on Little Kong's enlarged body. Xiao Kong was truly the epitome of all things fluffy. The hamster tried to resist but was bribed by a fruit. Lan Long rested for a night and continued for another week. This had frustrated Lan Long to the point where he had finally given in to the idea of riding Little Kong. Although, Little Kong had a lower cultivation, his beast physique granted him near unlimited stamina and speed. Little Kong was just as fast when running. This continued for another 3 days. As the fourth day began, Lan Long encountered a party of girls that were being robbed. Although, this was happening about 10 kilometers away, form his route Lan Long was able to sense them. He had felt violent Ki vibrations and immediately spread his soul sense, encountering the scene.

A sword light shined as it cut through the wall of fire. The goons trying to rob the ladies were about 40 in number and each of them was at either mid Ki condensing or late Ki condensing realm. The leader was at Peak of Ki condensing realm. He was quite famous around this area as he had robbed countless cultivators and raped quite a few beauties. He had evaded many encounters with higher realm martial artists due to his speed and ability to hide his aura completely. The sword light earlier was sent by the strongest female of the group. Although she was only at late Ki condensing realm, she was combat abilities of peak Ki condensing. The ladies were eight in number and belonged to Fire School.

”Leave us be and we will not alert elders of our school.” Another lady tried to calm the situation. The leader laughed fiercely as he twirled his sword at the group of ladies.

”Ladies please. None of you will leave this area. Why bother with empty threats. The only thing that can save you would be, if every one of you accompanied us brothers for a month. We promise to treat you all gently.” The leader licked his lips as the said the last part. He was gazing lustfully at the group of ladies.

”Sister let us fight to the death, we will not be tainted by these foul vermin.” A girl said with determination as her eyes turned red.

”No, we will survive. Don't give up hope. We can beat these men and complete the mission.” Another girl tried to raise the morale of the group. The robber snickered as they attacked at the same time. Their attacks were not strong at all, they were aimed to exhaust the Ki reserves of the girl. Although, the ladies were all strong they were only eight of them. They couldn't compete in a war of attrition. Their leader was already exhausted, as she had single handedly killed off 5 men. The other girls tried to get into a formation and break out of this encirclement.

The leader of bandits was looking at the group of exhausted girls with red eyes. He was determined that he would devour them one by one and pas them off to his brother to be played with till their death. The 2 men who died were his friends and they had started the gang together. Now, only he survived and he was going to slowly torture these girls to avenge his fallen brothers.

”Control your attacks, don't hurt them.” The leader yelled. The girls now had a look of hopelessness in their eyes.

”Sister lest explode our cultivation and kill ourselves. I would rather die without od corpse than to be sullied by these dirty bastards.” A girl yelled as her eyes flickered with madness.

”Men, attack with restraint and cripple their dantians. Hurry assholes, they are about to kill themselves.” All the goons began to gather their Ki as they prepared a decisive attack.

Girl screamed as they didn't even have time to gather their Ki, they could only defend against the oncoming barrage of attacks.

BOOM. . . BOOM. . . BOOM. . .

Three explosions were heard, the girls looked at the source to find three goons that were crushed under a 50-meter-tall beast. The beast then swiped his hand and ended another 10 lives. Within a second the 40-man bandit group was reduced to a 3-man group. All other were killed, some were crushed under the beast foot and others were turned to a bloody pool of entrails and bones by the beast's attack.

”fuck, where did this monster come from?” The leader yelled as he turned and sprang away. Before the leader could even land the beast had caught him in his hand. The other 2 goons were immediately killed with a sweep of other hand. The girls were extremely terrified, they had gotten out of one horrible situation to another. They felt reassured that at least, they would be killed with extreme prejudice under the beast's attack.

The beast opened his hand slightly exposing the leader dantian and crippled his cultivation. The leader tried to keep the Ki he had painfully cultivated inside his dantian but it was seeped away in mere moments. All his hard work, his 50 years of cultivation was gone in an instant. The leader yelled and screamed, he couldn't even kill himself. If a body cultivator had his dantian destroyed, he would still retain his strong body, this could not be said for Ki cultivators.

”Your fate will be decided by those girls.” An extremely charming voice spread out. Th girl who were prepared to death fell to their knees as they cried and hugged each other. They were saved by a strong cultivator.

The beast then threw the leader in front of the girls and began to shrink to a 10-meter-tall hamster. The girls were surprised, they had never expected the beast to be a cute and fluffy hamster. It big eyes and soft fur looked extremely cute. The fear they had towards the beast had almost disappeared. On the beast, there was a man who was leisurely lying down on the beast's back with his face covered with a bamboo hat.

The girls look at the man in front of them. Their killing intent rose to the sky, this man had tried to sully them and drove them to the point of suicide. The despair they felt would accompany them for the rest of their lives.

The leader of the group looked at all the girls and decisively beheaded the man.

”Senior, we will remember this grace for the rest of our lives. If senior desires something, please do not hesitate to ask. As long as it is within our capability, we do it without frowning.” The leader said with a deep bow.

”Okay then please gather all the valuable from the corpses and hand them to me.” Lan Long instantly ordered. The girls were startled as they scurried to gather all the storage sacks and weapons off the dead bodies. The leader even had a storage ring. These rings had a separate space inside them. The size of the space depended on the quality of the ring.

The girls soon gathered and handed the items to Lan Long.

”Senior these are all the items we found.” The girl respectfully presented everything to Lan Long.

Lan Long immediately grabbed the ring and sent his Ki into it. He discovered a huge pile of gold and silver along with some cultivation manuals and weapons. The space was about 6 cubic meters and was only filled about a quarter of its capacity. Lan Long immediately waved his hand sucked the remaining pouches and weapons into the ring.
