Chapter 446 - Black Venom Bandit Group (2/2)

”Sister, let's fight them. We've got the force to beat them to a pulp,” one of the men said.

The old man looked at the bandit group with furious eyes. Even when he couldn't fight them, it seemed like he hated the bandits too much to care.

”I'm not worried about them. They couldn't hope to hurt us with how overconfident they are. I'm just worried what will happen if the Black venom himself learned about this.”

”He is not someone we can mess with,” the woman said.

”Miss Gong, you must protect us,” Zhang Xie said from behind them.

”Tsk. It seems you all don't really care. Whatever boys, kill them,” the leader of the bandit group shouted.

”It seems we have no choice. Listen up, if they live we will be in trouble. So, make sure to kill them no matter what,” the woman shouted.

Alex went for one of the weakest of the bandits, a 4th Mind Tempering realm cultivator.

The bandit seemed to use two axes, so he came running towards him with just that.

The bandit swung the right ax towards Alex which he blocked with his sword.

At the same time, the bandit attacked him on his right shoulders with his left ax.

Alex lifted his right hand so that the target was no longer the shoulder but the chest.

CLANG

The sound of the ax hitting something hard rang loud and Alex smiled. His True Mortal T-shirt armor was working just fine.

Without hesitation, he started attacking the bandit. Left and right, front and dow, he tried the attack everywhere the bandit couldn't block in time and immediately change position if he did.

The bandit had one of the best close combat fighting weapons, so Alex had to be extra careful with how he approached the fight.

Alex slowly started having trouble when the bandit started using techniques of his own. First of all, the movement technique of the bandit was too hard to understand for Alex.

Secondly, there was a weird green glow that shot out from the ax every time he blocked it and hit him. Fortunately, they weren't strong enough to truly hurt him, and only pricked him a bit.

Finally,  the man started using some defensive techniques of his own and Alex had a hard time penetrating through that defense without using something unusual in his arsenal.

He tried to fight it out normally for as long as he could, however. He wanted to take it slow, but then he heard someone shout in pain and anger.

Alex looked to the side and saw the burning flesh of one of the weaker bandits. However, the shout was not coming from one of the bandit's allies.

Alex immediately turned around to block the attack of the bandit and used Heaven's impact on him.

The bandit lost consciousness and Alex hit him with the side of his blade to send him next to the woman who had just finished her opponent.

She cut the incoming bandit without worry and looked at Alex. But Alex no longer cared about it.

Alex was now looking at the person crying in anger and pain near the burning bandit, the old man.

Except, the voice coming from the old man wasn't old… it was young.

The old man looked towards Alex by sheer coincidence and Alex saw the look of pain, anger, and now quickly building shame in his eyes.

Alex's heart started racing when he realized he recognized those eyes. ”You…” he said.

”Go away,” the old man shouted in a young man's voice. By this time, most the of bandits were dead and the leader of the group was injured in his fight against the people.

He hadn't realized how much of a mistake he had made in underestimating the caravan.

”No!” he shouted and suddenly ran away.

”Stop him. We can't let him report back,” the woman said and ran in.

The old man ran behind the leader too.

”Brother Li!” Alex shouted as he ran behind the old man.

The old man stopped for just the tiniest fraction of a second before running behind the running leader

The leader was mostly injured, so he couldn't fly or run at his fastest speed, so everyone followed him. Letting the man return back alive and report who killed him was not a choice.

The leader, however, knew the jungle more than the guards could ever hope to.

Even Alex who had tried to keep track of him using his spiritual sense missed him. However, the old man kept running into the forest.

Ale changed his direction and ran towards the old man, getting closer and closer until he was right next to him.

”Brother Li, stop!” he shouted, and the old man finally stopped.

He looked back at Alex and said, ”Please go back, brother Yu. I don't want to involve you with this petty revenge of mine.”

Wan Li finally decided to speak up to Alex.
