Chapter 106: Bandits

The rest of the day was quite serene for the two of them.

Lin Fan stayed in the training room and he mulled over the different things the old man had taught him. He found that there were many parts that he was lacking even with his combat experience since most of his combat experience was with fighting beasts.

Combat experience was valuable, but beasts fought in a different way compared to humans, so the lessons they taught couldn't fully be applied to human experts.

While Lin Fan was lost deep in thought over his new learnings, Angela just sat on the side waiting for Lin Fan to finish. Of course, she didn't forget to get a few more orders of cake while waiting…

…

The next day came and it seemed like they would arrive at their destination in time, but before they could arrive, there was an event that disrupted this.

As they were coming up on Green Wood City, entering the range of the forest, there was a sudden explosion that came from the front of the ship.

Lin Fan and Angela were still in the training room when this happened, but that large explosion brought Lin Fan out of his training.

Lin Fan knit his brows as he looked in the direction of the explosion and based on the screaming he could hear, it didn't seem like it was anything good.

The two of them made their way to the main dining hall where most of the screaming was coming from.

They didn't enter right away and peeked in from the door while Angela hid the two of them. Inside there were most of the passengers gathered in the center while being tied up and they were surrounded by rough looking men who were the very definition of bandits.

The surprising thing was that there were even Gold Realm Experts who had been tied up after being beaten, evident by their swollen faces.

The airship that Lin Fan and Angela had been on was a luxury airship that Mu Bo Hai had given them tickets for. It was mainly filled with rich passengers who all had special guards with them, so it was strange seeing them all being captured like this, but when Lin Fan caught sight of the bandit leader, he found it wasn't that surprising at all.

The bandit leader was a suave looking man with wind swept hair and one purple eye who seemed to be in his early twenties. However, the shocking part about this leader was that even with his young age, he was actually in the Platinum Realm just like Lin Fan.

Normally young experts like this would be the crux of a family, not running around being a bandit, but here this young man was leading these bandits.

But still, seeing them here gave Lin Fan an idea.

There was a pet that just recently broken through to the next level of cultivation and he had been looking for someone to test their might on.

So after letting the pet do their thing, Lin Fan walked into the room looking quite confident, drawing in surprised looks from everyone inside, whether they were bound or not.

The bandit leader looked at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes and said in a calm voice, "Well, well, it seems like we missed one, boys. Let's get him tied up and put him with the others."

But then the rest of the bandits finally noticed Angela by his side and they had greedy looks in their eyes.

One of the bandits came over and reached his hand out towards her as he said, "Now, now, pretty lady, let this big brother take care of you."

Lin Fan didn't take too kindly to this. With sharp eyes that fell onto that bandit which caused that bandit to feel a chill run down his spine, Lin Fan suddenly said, "Well, it seems like you have to beat the dogs to show the master."

Then as soon as his voice fell, Lin Fan stepped forward. He disappeared before he appeared right in front of that bandit, bringing a fist forward that shattered the bandit's dantian in a single hit.

Once this was done, all the bandits became weary as they raised their weapons once again. However, there was a chill that came over them when they felt Lin Fan's aura sweeping over them. This was a feeling like they were being hunted.

The bandit leader felt this as well and he knew that this wasn't good, so he shouted, "All of you get back! I'll take care of this!"

Once he said that, the bandit leader released his pet, which was surprisingly a giant turtle.

The giant turtle gathered rocks that formed a set of armour around the bandit leader before he charged forward at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan wasn't worried at all when he saw this, he just snapped his finger and released his own pet.

Xiao Huo appeared in a burst of flames before landing on Lin Fan's shoulder.

The bandit leader stopped in his tracks when he saw this, since he could feel the heat coming from the powerful flames.

Lin Fan just said, "Xiao Huo, burn them up."

Xiao Huo flew out to attack the surrounding bandits and when the bandit leader saw this, he said through gritted teeth, "Are you looking down on me?!"

Lin Fan just smiled without saying a word.

Even if the bandit leader was a bandit, he was someone who had his pride as an expert. Being looked down on this so directly really hurt that pride, quickly igniting flames of rage in his heart.

The bandit leader didn't hold back any longer and he roared out as he charged at Lin Fan, bringing down his sword in a large arc at Lin Fan's neck.

Lin Fan just released his law of power to create a set of golden gauntlets around his hands which he used to punch the bandit leader's sword.

The bandit leader was a bandit in the end, he wasn't something with powerful artifacts, so Lin Fan's power law gauntlets cracked the sword. It continued forth until it slammed into the rock armour that the bandit leader was wearing.

The bandit leader was forced back several steps as his eyes widened in shock. On the rock armour at his stomach, there were cracks that had formed.

This was a set of armour forged by the rock laws of both the bandit leader and the Platinum Realm pet of the bandit leader, but it had been cracked by Lin Fan's power law like it was nothing.

The bandit leader knew that if he wanted to turn this around, he couldn't hold back.

As soon as he stabilized himself, the bandit leader charged up to Lin Fan. He dodged the first punch from Lin Fan before bringing his other hand holding a bright red orb up towards Lin Fan's chest.

But what he never expected was that Lin Fan would suddenly grab that red ord and whisper into his ears. The moment he heard what Lin Fan had to say, the bandit leader's eyes opened wide before he narrowed them again.

When he was finished speaking, Lin Fan let go of the red orb and the bandit leader jumped away before shouting, "Retreat, use the smokes and retreat!"

The other bandits had been burned by Xiao Huo, but their injuries weren't serious, so they all quickly moved away. They brought out smoke bombs that they slammed into the ground before running away to their airship parked by this luxury airship.

Lin Fan pretended to chase after them, but once the smoke completely covered him up, he just stood there in place with a smile on his face.

When the smoke cleared, all the bandits were gone from the hall and even their airship was flying away in the distance.

When the bandits were gone, Lin Fan went over to free the captives.

Some of the captives thanked Lin Fan for saving them, while some of them blamed Lin Fan for letting the bandits get away. As for the guards that followed these rich people, almost all of them looked at Lin Fan in admiration.

They knew how strong the bandit leader really was and this young man was actually able to chase him away. This young man really wasn't normal.

After this incident was taken care of, the airship made the rest of the journey in peace and landed in Green Wood City not even an hour later.

The ones that had been grateful to Lin Fan all gave him their cards and promised to help him if he ever needed it. Some of the ones that were ungrateful had secretly reported Lin Fan to the guards that had asked about this situation, but the guards of course ignored them since the good reports about Lin Fan far outweighed the bad.

The guards gave Lin Fan a commendation and quickly allowed him to leave, but once Lin Fan left the airfield, the first thing he didn't wasn't head into Green Wood City, rather he walked out the city gates...
