Chapter 225: Bandit Hideout

The other man was taken aback when he saw his partner's head get cut off of his head.

"Who?" he turned around to ask. Suddenly, a spear thrust through his shoulders and he was stuck onto a nearby tree. 

"Ahh!" he screamed as loudly as he could  as the pain rushed from his shoulders. Ning walked froward and ripped the patch in his eyes and put his thumb inside as he straightened the man's head. 

"Scream once more and you will die," he said.

The man kept on grunting, but didn't scream anymore. "Wh-Who are you?" he asked. 

"You don't recognize me?" Ning asked in a serious tone. 

"I- I don— It's you. Why are you doing this?" he asked. 

Ning pressed his finger deeper and said, "I ask the questions here, not you. Why are you free when you should be rotting in the prison?" 

"We— We have connections in the prison. Some of our people work there too," he said as he kept on grunting from the pain. 

"Who?" he asked. 

"I— I don't know. The boss knows who they are; I only know that they exist," he said. 

"I see. Then I have no need for you," Ning said. 

"No, Wa— " 

Ning ripped his spear out while at the same time cutting the man through the heart. The man fell to the ground as blood gushed from his eyes and shoulders, but not a single sound escaped his mouth. 

The man was as dead as one could be. 

Ning looked at the tent closest to him and suddenly lit a tent on fire. He stood in front of the tent's opening and waiting. When the people inside started realizing that their tent was on fire, they started running out. 

At that moment, Ning cut every single person that walked out. Screams rang out from the people of the tent and soon all the tent had movements as they realized there was a problem. 

When they all walked out and saw that their members were dead, they immediately ran for a weapon and came charging at Ning. 

Ning's blood lust kept on increasing as his fury reached its peak. 

The first man came in with sword and slashed towards Ning. Ning sidestepped the attack and punched him with his left hand. 

The man's skull broke apart as if it was an egg being crushed. Blood and brain matter scattered to the right of Ning as the remaining body was hurled into a tent far away. 

The bandits got scared. They couldn't understand what had just happened. 

Suddenly, one of the bandits started shouting with a quivering voice. "A- An Enchanter!" he shouted. 

The bandits finally 'realized' what was happening. They believed that Ning was enchanting his body to become sturdier than it actually was. 

Ning didn't give a damn about what they thought and ran forward. The bandits were scared but they didn't believe that Ning could be strong enough to fight all of them at once. 

So, they threw caution to the wind and charged at Ning all together. 

With every slice of his spear, a body was cut apart. With every punch and kick, somebody lost part of their body. With every use of telekinesis, somebody whose weight was less than him got thrown high into the air only to fall down and die. 

Ning went through the group of nearly a hundred, and death followed where he went. He made no distinguishment between men or women. Anyone that came at him got the same treatment. 

In less than 2 minutes nearly all of the bandits that charged his were dead. There were a few with just broken bones that lied on the ground unable to move. 

Ning used telekinesis to pull the tents and put it on top of all the bodies on the ground and lit fire to it. 

He walked towards the remaining bandits as the fire behind him started raging. 

"Wh-Why are you doing this?" one of the bandits asked as he put his sword up with his shaky hands. Ning didn't immediately kill these people. 

Instead he asked, " Where is Khrom?" 

The bandits didn't answer and just kept the weapon targeted towards him. 

"I will ask only once more. WHERE IS KHROM?"

The bandits shook more when they heard the rage in his voice. Still, they didn't answer him. 

"Whoever answers first gets to live," Ning said. 

"He's underground!" one of the girl answered. 

SWING

The rest of the bandits that didn't speak immediately had their heads cut apart from their torso. The girl didn't even understand what had happened just now, but she understood that the only reason she was alive right now what because she spoke. 

"Underground? Explain!" 

"There is a passage underground that leads to outside the town. The boss is currently in a room there," she said. 

"How do I get there?" he asked. 

"T-There is a hole carved behind that tree. Its hidden in the bush," she said. 

"Good!" Ning said. 

"I-I will live now right?" she asked. 

"I stay true to my words," Ning said and turned around. 

The girl sighed in relief, but then suddenly, 4 slashes flew through the air and cut her. She didn't die, but all 4 of her limbs were cut off from the base. 

"AAAAAHHHH!" she screamed louder than anyone had amongst the bandits. 

"I said I would let you live. But I didn't say it will be a pleasant living," Ning said as he walked towards the tree and repeated what the system had said. 

"No one here is innocent!" 

He quickly found the bush the girl was talking about and walked past it to see the giant hole in the tree. 

"So this leads to the underground huh?" he thought and jumped in. There was a ladder to the side, but he didn't need it. It took him about 4 seconds to reach the bottom. 

He stood up and saw that the tunnels went around in all four directions. He didn't know what direction the town was at all since he had teleported here. 

"Where am I supposed to go now?"
