C510 (1/2)
Li Dao could not help but shake his head as he watched the girl struggle.
In this world, the immortal and divine paths flourished, but the martial arts were too weak. This could be seen from the martial arts displayed by the girl and the horse bandits.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be difficult to break a thumb-sized rope in the seventh level of the Houtian realm, but it was obviously impossible for a girl to do so.
”Where did this brat come from? He actually dared to ignore us?”
A burly mounted gangster whose head was not big enough shouted at Li Dao.
The leader of the horse bandits looked suspicious. To be able to ignore them and walk in this desert, his clothes were as white as snow, and he might be a Xiantian realm expert.
”Er Hu, don't be rude!”
The leader of the mounted bandits berated the former mounted gangsters as he cupped his hands and bowed towards Li Dao.
”May I know where you are from, sir?”
Li Dao's appearance was fixed on the appearance of a twenty-seven or twenty-eight year old. It was not suitable to call him little brother. Judging from Li Dao's bearing, he should be a scholar. Therefore, the bandit leader called him Mister.
Li Dao glanced at the bandit leader and said in a flat tone, ”Let this lady go.”
”Brat, do you know who we are? Do you feel that we've gotten tired of living by daring to make such a request?”
”Exactly, it wasn't easy to capture such a lively girl. Not to mention you, even if it's the Emperor, we still wouldn't let him go.”
The mounted gangsters did not have the eye of a leader, much less think deeply. When they heard Li Dao ask them to release the girl, they immediately exploded. There weren't many people in the desert, and the women in the bandit's lair were exposed to the wind and sun all year round. Their skin was already as rough as a man's, and their black skin was simply uninteresting. It wasn't easy to catch a pretty and delicate girl, and she was still waiting for her boss to enjoy her for a while.
Li Dao did not pay any attention to the enraged mounted gangsters. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the leader of the mounted gangsters. As a leader, not only did his martial arts have to be higher than the others, his intelligence, vision, and charisma must be on par with them. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control more than a dozen bandits. This leader is a smart person, he should have some rationality.
However, Li Blade's prediction was wrong. He had underestimated the demand of these rough guys for beauties. Furthermore, as the leader, if he admitted his wrongs and let the girl go, what would his brothers think? How would he submit to the masses?
”Sir, although I do not know who you are, I am unable to accept your rude request.”
The leader straightened his back. Although he suspected that Li Dao was an expert, he was still suspicious and didn't make a move. Who knew if this kid in front of him was just a useless crazed gun. To dare to live in this sea of yellow sand, what they lacked the least was courage.
