Chapter 397
“Swish! Swish!
Swish! Swish! “The Lion King carried Xiao Chen up a few hundred feet tall mountain. The mountain’s terrain was very steep, but the Lion King was very relaxed. Every leap covered at least a few dozen feet. It was as though a divine lion was attacking the Devil’s Mountain. It was very imposing.
“Enemy attack!”
“A powerful dire beast is ambushing our stronghold!”
“Protect the stronghold!
Inform the Fort Master! ”
When Xiao Chen and Da Huang were halfway up the mountain, there was a cry of alarm near the peak. Clearly, they could vaguely see a huge dire beast rushing up the mountain and immediately issued a warning.
Xiao Chen immediately saw three weak bandits frantically climbing up the mountain. He couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Da Huang, catch up to them.”
“A piece of cake.”
Da Huang transmitted his voice. He couldn’t help but increase his running speed. In a few breaths, the distance between them had shortened to a few hundred feet. Next, he only needed a few leaps to catch up.
“Wu —”
One of the three bandits suddenly blew into the beast horn. The beast horn let out a long and loud cry. The cry instantly spread throughout the entire mountain peak. Naturally, it alarmed the hundreds of bandits on the mountain peak. The hundreds of bandits turned pale with fright. They all picked up their weapons and rushed out of the stronghold under the leadership of their Fort Master.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The Lion King carried Xiao Chen and caught up to the three Sentinel Bandits. He used his claws to send the three flying. The Lion King had immense strength. A casual strike had the power to shatter rocks. The three Sentinel Bandits were only at the first level of the Black Panther Realm. Naturally, they were killed instantly.
When Xiao Chen saw Da Huang killing the bandits, his expression didn’t change. He looked on coldly. After experiencing so many massacres, Xiao Chen’s heart had become much colder. If a few bandits were killed, then so be it. There was nothing pitiful about them. There was definitely a lot of commoners and merchants who died in the hands of these bandits.
Those who kill will always be killed.
After a while, Xiao Chen and Da Huang leaped to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was very wide and relatively flat. In the middle of the mountain, there was a huge wooden stronghold that could accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, there were hundreds of bandits of varying strength standing in the open space in front of the stronghold.
“Hundreds of bandits?
Eh, there are actually three Blood Bear Realm warriors, and one of them even has a weapon at the third level of the Blood Bear Realm.
Hehe. “Xiao Chen’s gaze swept across the hundreds of bandits. He was a little interested in the strength of this group of bandits.
Da Huang looked down on the hundreds of bandits and sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen, “Big Brother, the other party doesn’t even have a Purple Image Realm martial artist. How boring. Are you going to play this time, or am I going to play?”
“Let’s take a look first. Let’s go!” Xiao Chen said lightly.
Da Huang nodded and slowly walked over.
“Lion Beast King?
So powerful! ”
“There is a young man sitting on the back of the Lion King. Who is this young man?
How can he have such a powerful mount? ”
“What are they doing?
Why did they come to our small stronghold?
Are they just passing by? ”
“I hope they are. Otherwise, we will all die!”
When the hundreds of bandits saw the huge and mighty Lion King and Xiao Chen sitting on the back of the Lion King, they were shocked. All of them were so scared that they took a few steps back. They were discussing among themselves, and their faces were full of fear.
The leader of the bandits, who was also the chief of the stronghold, was an old man in his fifties. When he saw Xiao Chen and the Lion King, his expression changed drastically. He wanted to escape, but he endured it in the end because he understood that he couldn’t escape at all. If he escaped, he would definitely die. If he didn’t die, there was still a chance of survival. He hoped that Xiao Chen would let him go.
Seeing that the Lion King was walking towards them, the Fort Master mustered up his courage and walked out. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, “Sir, you have graced my humble abode with your presence. Please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar. Please come inside. We will definitely serve you with good wine and food. If Sir needs it, there are also a dozen pretty young women in my humble abode …”
“Young women?”
When Xiao Chen saw that the chief of the bandits treated them with respect, he was a little embarrassed to rob them. When he heard that there were young women serving people in the stronghold, he couldn’t help but frown. He pretended to be interested and said, “Your stronghold actually uses women to serve guests? That sounds pretty good. Where did these young women come from? Are they clean?”
“My lord, they are absolutely clean. They are not the ladies of a brothel. They are all young women from good families. We robbed them from passersby …” When the chief of the bandit chief heard Xiao Chen’s words, he thought that Xiao Chen was interested in the young women. He was secretly delighted and couldn’t help but blurt out their evil deeds without being pressed.
“Robbed?
You can go die now! ”
Xiao Chen’s face turned cold when he heard the bandit leader’s confession. He pulled out the wooden sword from his back and patted the lion’s back with his left hand. His whole body shot into the air, and his sword struck the bandit leader who was kneeling on the ground like a bolt of lightning.
“Ah?
My lord, spare me! ”
The chief of the bandits was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He was so scared that he fell to the ground. He then used his hands and feet to desperately move backwards. He had actually forgotten that he was a strong martial artist at the third level of the Blood Bear Realm. On the contrary, Xiao Chen was only at the second level of the Blood Bear Realm. It was obvious that he had sensed the unparalleled strength of the Lion King and had long given up resisting.
“Roar!”
At the same time that Xiao Chen made his move, Da Huang let out a lion’s roar and rushed into the hundreds of bandits. It was like a lion entering a flock of sheep, a one-sided massacre.
“Brothers!
Fight them to the death! ”
When the chief of the bandits saw that the Lion King had mercilessly slaughtered his people and that Xiao Chen was chasing after him, he knew that Xiao Chen would never let them go. So he became crazy. Since he couldn’t escape, he could only fight with his life on the line.
He pulled out his big sword and no longer retreated. He madly rushed towards Xiao Chen. The big sword swallowed and slashed at Xiao Chen angrily. At the same time, he shouted angrily, “Brat!
You’ve gone too far!
I’ll fight you to the death!
Die! ”
“Kill me?
Can you do it? ”
Xiao Chen laughed coldly and rushed towards the chief of the bandits. The wooden sword swallowed and slashed at the incoming big sword. He had broken through to the second level of the Blood Bear Realm not long ago. He was confident that he could defeat an enemy of the third level of the Blood Bear Realm without using the Demonic Gift.
“Boom!”
It was a head-on clash!
The mighty and heavy wooden sword clashed heavily with the large saber, which was not as heavy as the wooden sword, and produced a deafening sound of the collision and the explosion of the Desolate Light. The sound was terrifying and deafening.
“Ouch!”
“Clang!”
The chief of the bandits cried out in pain. His whole body was pushed back by the huge force of the big sword, and he almost fell to the ground. He was in a very bad shape. The palm of his right hand that was holding the sword was torn, and blood was spurting out. He could not hold the sword, and it fell to the ground.
“This …” The chief of the bandits looked at his bloody right hand, and his face was full of disbelief. He could not understand why he would lose to the enemy when he was obviously one level higher than him, and so completely. Because he found that Xiao Chen was calm and composed, and was not injured at all.
“Do you still think you can kill me now?
You being a bandit and killing passersby is understandable. But you’ve killed civilians and merchants, especially women. You’ve committed a heinous crime, and you deserve to die! ”
In that fight just now, Xiao Chen’s body was as steady as a mountain, and his arm was only a little numb. He estimated how strong he was, and was very confident. If he used the Chaos Sound or Nine Kill, even without using the Demonic Gift, he could easily defeat a peak level warrior of the Blood Bear Realm.
