245 Finding the Bandits (2/2)
”Uh, I am sorry to burst your bubble, but this will be a rather difficult match,” Bai Tianyi was finally the one to call them all to their senses. ”Although some of them are injured, they are actually seven people while we only have four. Out of those seven, I see that four are Earth Knights. While only at the first layer, they are nevertheless Earth Knights, and the others are ninth layered Ordinary Knights.”
”So what?” Xue Wei listened and snickered. ”Don't forget we have many things that they do not, including two Earth Knights at a ridiculously high level; they can take two each, and we can take the other three. It should be easy to manage.”
Bai Tianyi was stunned and then he shook his head in a defeated manner. He had to admit that what Xue Wei said made sense. ”Yes, it should,” he agreed after considering for some time.
Usually, Bai Tianyi was the one who was most confident in his own strength, but after entering Yan Dalu, he had suddenly felt a sense of inadequecy.
In this place, everyone knew spiritual energy and their current achievements in cultivation seemed more impressive than his. He just forgot that he had only had his human shape for about a year. Having his cultivation at this technically infantile stage was actually incredibly frightening.
Xue Wei gave him a long glance, because he understood the thoughts that floated in Bai Tianyi's mind. But after seeing his eyes suddenly turn bright again, he understood that the latter had finally come to terms with his own strength.
”Oh, we are being left behind,” Bai Tianyi suddenly said, lifting his head. Xue Wei looked up as well, only to see that Hei Gou and Lin Xiao had rushed ahead, one with a set of claws on his hands, the other with a long staff in his grip.
”Come on,” Xue Wei could not help but snort, grinning. ”He is a monk, so he must use a staff?”
”I can hear you!” Lin Xiao yelled back, but his face could not hide the grin that was plastered on his lips, clearly showing that he was looking forward to this. Lin Xiao was like a free bird, soaring in the skies and always seeking new adventures. Now he had finally found some comrades to go on adventures with!
”Let us catch up!” Bai Tianyi also laughed out heartily and then started moving. A sword of spiritual energy appeared underneath his feet, sending him hurtling forward at a speed so fast that he quickly caught up to Lin Xiao and Hei Gou.
”Don't leave me behind!” Xue Wei exclaimed and unhesitantly activated the Forbidden Rush movement technique to follow the other three.
The group of bandits could not hear exactly what was being said amongst these youngsters, but their eyes were showing disdain when they looked at them.
They were only four, and one of them was even a child. All four of them had two eyes only, and the strongest seemed to be the child at the ninth layer of Ordinary Knight rank.
But for some weird reason, these four people were charging towards them without any fear or consideration. They had brandished their weapons. Wait, weapons? Who would use such crude arms in this world where spiritual energy was king? Only a few Primordial Beasts might bother with them.
”Watch out, two of them seem to be Qi beasts,” one of the bandits cautioned, but honestly, they were not overly worried even then.
”This is going to be fun!” Just as the bandit had told them to watch out, a loud booming voice sounded out as Lin Xiao was the first to make contact with the bandits. His staff swept out and sent three experts at the ninth layer of the Ordinary Knight rank reeling, blood spurting out from their mouths.
”Oh, right, they are weak like twigs when you get close enough!” Lin Xiao grinned and ran towards one of the people who had the cultivation base of an Earth Knight.
”Well, they are weak to physical attacks,” Bai Tianyi said as he came closer, hovering on his spiritual energy sword. His white clothes were fluttering in the air, his arms crossed over his chest.
”Honestly, I don't think I even need to do anything,” he sighed as he saw how one sweep of Lin Xiao's staff had knocked three away vomiting blood.
”Come on, join in the fun!” Xue Wei grinned as he went for the three ninth layer Ordinary Knights.
Inner Might: Qi Sword Style!
A sword appeared in his hands and with one quick flourish, one of their heads had already been severed.
”They really are like paper tigers!” Xue Wei exclaimed in shock. ”Their physical strength is even weaker than what I thought... their Qi levels are only at the Heavenly Warrior level!”
”So that is why.” Hei Gou could not help but lament at the sad truth about these experts as well. Like a hurricane of blades, their group had suddenly appeared and just severed head after head in an instant.
Even while speaking, Hei Gou was inching closer and closer to the last of the bandits, a paralyzingly shocked Earth Knight. As soon as he did manage to reach him, Hei Gou's claws came slashing down, instantly ripping out the man's throat. Blood oozed out the bandit's mangled throat as he slowly crumpled to the ground, transfixed on Hei Gou with his unwilling, dying eyes.
”This is kinda too easy is it not?” Xue Wei could not help but ask after the last bandit's soul had been absorbed by Bai Tianyi. They had already killed the entire group and it was a one-sided slaughter. There had been no possibility to retreat or retaliate for this unlucky group.
