“First, let’s take care of the two horse bandits outside.”

Yu Feng went outside, where two horse bandits were preparing to strike at his parents. He picked up a hay rake and drove it through one of the bandit’s wrist, leaving a gaping hole.

Seeing this, the other bandit swung at Yu Feng, who narrowly sidestepped the blow, grabbed the bandit’s knife and struck back at both of them.

Both bandits were killed in a swift and precise manner, almost as if he had rehearsed it many times.

It wasn’t Yu Feng’s first time using this method. Despite his slender physique, he had been trained in martial arts in the future. Even a handful of strong men couldn’t subdue him. Relying on his martial arts skills, he had killed these two horse bandits many times before.

But that was as far as he got.

Eventually, the bandits would find their comrades dead and kill Yu Feng in retaliation.

“Little Feng, how are you so strong?” His parents were dumbfounded. They had never expected their skinny son to be such a formidable fighter.

Yu Feng had heard this many times before.

“Find the leader of the horse bandits.”

Yu Feng tried to capture the leader to control the rest of the bandits, but the bandits were desperados. Upon seeing their leader being controlled, they simply decided to kill both Yu Feng and the leader.

Yu Feng hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Jiang Li’s words.

Just as the bandits’ leader was about to charge into the village to cause havoc, he was brought down by a cunning stroke from a kid who had cropped up out of nowhere and chopped off his horse’s leg.

Before he could react, Yu Feng held a knife to his throat.

Seeing their leader threatened, the bandits all drew their knives.

“Who are you!” the leader of the bandits roared. Yu Feng did not reply.

The vice-leader was delighted, seeing this as a golden opportunity. With his influence in the group, he could easily command the bandits to kill both the boy and their leader.

Just as the vice-leader was about to give the order, Yu Feng’s hate-filled gaze transfixed him: “I’ve fulfilled my part of the bargain by capturing the leader. When will you let my parents go?”

“Li Can, is this your doing?!” The leader of the bandits glared furiously at the vice-leader. He had long suspected the vice-leader of planning a coup, but he had not expected him to involve a child.

“Nonsense, who said anything about capturing your parents!” The vice-leader instantly denied the accusation.

If the leader was simply threatened, he could order his men to kill Yu Feng and the leader during the chaos, and everything would be fine. But if he was the one behind the threat, even if he killed the leader, the leader’s men would turn against him and the bandit group would disintegrate – a situation he was not willing to see.

“You’re a liar! You said clearly that if I captured the leader, not only would you release my parents, but you would also hail me as the janitor of the Blood Sea Sect!”

In the Ancient World, unlike the Kyushu World, the way of cultivation was secretive and tightly guarded. Ordinary folk had no way to cultivate themselves.

Therefore, the majority of people in the Ancient World had no martial training. Even someone at the Qi Cultivation Stage was an unreachable figure to them. Not to mention a sect full of Qi Cultivation stage cultivators. To them, it was a sacred place only to be dreamed of.

Being a janitor there was considered lucky.

Thus, Yu Feng’s words were believable.

“Li Can, you bastard!” The bandit leader was completely enraged. The Blood Sea Sect represented a greater force behind the bandits, a name only known to him and the vice-leader. This kid could have only heard of it from Li Can.

The leader, in his fury, shrugged off Yu Feng.

Yu Feng pretended to be thrown away, rolling a distance away.

“Li Can, today is your death day!” As long as the leader was still alive, he remained the leader and Li Can was forever his deputy.

Seeing the leader’s determination to kill, Li Can and his supporters fought back, but were swiftly killed by the leader’s iron hand.

Even when the leader wanted to kill Yu Feng next, he found him holding a magic talisman.

“If you don’t want me to tear this contact talisman, you’d better leave quietly.” Yu Feng pretended to tear the talisman. He had taken it from the leader in the chaos.

The leader turned pale. This contact talisman was a valuable gift from the Blood Sea Sect, worth a city. If the members of the Blood Sea Sect knew that this talisman was torn, no matter whether Yu Feng would die or not, he was sure to die.

“Give me back the talisman, and I promise to leave.”

“You think I’ll believe your bullshit?” Yu Feng sneered, “You only have one choice, you leave this place, and wait for me to return the talisman to you.”

“That’s impossible. I’d rather die together with you!” The leader didn’t agree to Yu Feng’s conditions.

“How about a compromise, you let your men go and leave only us two here, okay?”

“Accepted.”

The leader quickly agreed to the conditions because he was aware of his own physical advantage, and was caught off guard by Yu Feng’s sudden move previously.

“No, your men are too close. What if you kill me after you get the talisman?”

“Let your men go south to the mountain, they are not allowed to return within five days. We will wait here for five days, and after five days, I will give you the talisman.”

“Deal.” The leader was indeed planning to get the talisman and come back to wipe out the village.

But since Yu Feng had seen through his thoughts, he had to give up the idea.

He figured that if they went south to the mountain and waited for five days, Yu Feng would probably use this time to move the villagers. The leader was slightly contemptuous but complied.

After the bandits have left, only Yu Feng and the leader are left.

“Or we can do this. I am a man of influence in the Dao community, and I always keep my promises. You can give me the talisman now, and I swear I will not let my men enter the village.”

Yu Feng thought for a moment: “Okay, I’ll trust you this time.”

The leader had been bluffing and wasn’t expecting Yu Feng to actually agree, his heart was filled with joy.

Yu Feng slowly approached the leader and handed him the talisman.

Suddenly, the leader smirks coldly and swiftly attacks, but Yu Feng is ready and retaliates.

Yu Feng’s martial arts training and battle experience far surpass the leader’s, and the leader is finally killed by him.

With the vice-leader and his men dead, the remaining bandits were loyal to the leader. They loyally awaited his return from the south of the mountain. Without the vice-leader still alive to notice the oddity and investigate, the leader’s words became law.

Five days later, a mudslide occurs in the south, eliminating the bandits completely.

“Did it… did it really work?” Yu Feng could hardly believe his luck when he learned of the demise of the bandits. He thought he would have to face death a few times before succeeding.

He was overcome with the joy of success, crying and laughing like a madman, and then held his parents tight. He had never expected that his parents could survive.

“Thank you, thank you…” Yu Feng was at a loss for words, he could only keep repeating “thank you”.

Jiang Li observed everything with his Divine Sense, planning out every move. Yu Feng did just as he predicted and succeeded this year.

“Don’t rush, this is just the beginning. Given your luck, there might be bigger calamities coming. Be prepared.”</p
