"Hey, everyone. How about this matter stop because of me, this one?" The bandits and the escort team were fighting intensely. A lazy voice was heard, shocking both of them.
"Who is it!" Hearing this voice, both sides simultaneously stopped attacking and looked towards the direction of the voice. The bandit leader loudly shouted.
However, although both sides stopped attacking at the same time, their performances were different. The escort was panicking and the bandits secretly made preparations to defend against the enemy. With this comparison, it was clear who was the superior one.
"Everyone, from my point of view, since when have grievances were settled, why not, for a mere face, give up?" The bandit leader's loud shout did not affect Ling Yun in the slightest. He leisurely walked out of the forest, and cupped his hands as he spoke.
Ling Yun's current attire was like that of a scholar. On the surface, no one could tell that he knew any martial arts. But who would dare to treat Ling Yun as an ordinary scholar?
Even if they were fighting and didn't pay much attention to the situation around them, it was impossible for a mere weak scholar to get so close without them noticing.
"Alright, today, I, Jin, will give this little brother some face and not pursue this matter." The leading escort cupped his hands and looked at the other escort who was about to speak.
"Big Head Jin, who do you think you are to pursue this matter with us brothers?" And who do you think you are to meddle with my brother's business? "Don't think that you can fool me just by pretending!" Just as the escort had finished speaking, a burly man with a mask immediately spoke out, and then shouted at Ling Yun with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Ol 'Three, shut up!" The other leader, a petite man shouted at the big man, only when the big man obediently lowered his head like a primary school student did the small bandit leader turn to Ling Yun and ask, "May I ask who you are? Why do you want to get involved in our business? "
Previously, the small and thin leader thought like the masked man that this was a backer of the bodyguards. He thought for a moment and then dismissed this possibility. Moreover, this scholar had faintly brought him a sense of oppression and fatal danger.
"Hua, it's them, they're the Lifestyle Great Bandit!" When the escort team heard the bandit leader's words, they went into an uproar, especially the ones who had lost a lot of lives and were stopped by the leader just now. Their faces turned even paler and their bodies trembled.
[The Lifestyle Great Bandit, this is a Lifestyle Great Bandit who kills people without blinking an eye! Seeing the twelve of them, he should have guessed that the other party was unable to avoid these death gods, but he still foolishly ran into them. Many of the escort guards thought so.
The Freshmen Thief?" Lingyun frowned. Looking at the surrounding escort's reaction, he knew that this Xiao Shou bandit was a very scary person, but he had never heard of him. Thus, he called up the information on the Zodiac bandits and looked through them.
There were twelve of them who called themselves the Zerg to Hai Zhu's Zodiac Shou [1] family. Each of them were at least at the early stage of Soft Sword, and their leader Zerg estimated that they were at the late stage of the Soft Sword.
The Life Xiao Great Bandit was a type of rogue. Wherever he went, it would set off a wave of carnage. From his debut until now, the number of killings he had committed was estimated to be more than a hundred. The number of people he had killed was not less than two thousand. Those who did not know their true faces were all dead. Even children were not spared, and the crime was heinous.
It was not as if no one had chased them down, even the officials were alarmed. However, this group of bandits was extremely cunning, and had long since fled when they heard the news; they could not even see their pursuers. The strong ones couldn't catch up, while the weak ones couldn't. Even though they had been wanted for more than five years, they were still at large.
"Bastard, beast!" Looking at this piece of information, Ling Yun was extremely furious. This reminded him of the goings-on in a certain island, when he looked at the skinny leader, he felt as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Little Qian, check his strength!" Ling Yun said in his mind.
"Alright, Brother Ling." Little Qian answered, and in the next moment, a piece of information appeared in Ling Yun's mind.
"Name: Su Jie; Age: 32; Mental Energy: 1025; Strength: 1081; Reaction Sense: 1053; Attack Power: 1089; Defense Strength: 1074; Combat Strength: 2163; Attack Power: 113; Vital Point s: 156; Cultivation Level: early period of Earth Level."
"Little Qian, why is Su Jie's Vital Point only left with 156 points?" Su Jie's true cultivation level had exceeded the external world's estimate, regardless of whether he was concealing his strength or making a breakthrough, all of these were not important. What Ling Yun was surprised about was that Su Jie only had so few Vital Point, so how could he stay outside?
"Brother Ling, because Su Jie killed too many people, they were infected with too many karma, and thus the Vital Point will gradually be corroded by the Qi." Little Qian gave Ling Yun an answer.
"So that's how it is, then does this mean that adding merit to my body will also increase my Vital Point?" Ling Yun nodded and asked.
"It's like this, Brother Ling." Little Qian nodded.
"May I ask why your excellency is involved in the matter of our Zodiac?" The skinny leader, who was Su Jie, asked the question again. When he saw Ling Yun, who was previously in a relaxed state with a face full of frost looking at people and then with a pair of eyes shining as if he was looking at prey, he was both furious and bewildered.
Su Jie naturally did not know that in just a short instant, Ling Yun had experienced many psychological changes.
"Because I want to get rid of you, scum!" Unexpectedly, Ling Yun regained his senses, looking at him as if he was his prey, his expression suddenly changed.
"Damn it, you don't know how to appreciate favors!" Su Jie flew into a rage, unable to hold back anymore and was the first one to pounce forward. The other [Life Xiao] Great Bandit dropped their escort and all started to attack Ling Yun.
On the other hand, the escort team were all dumbfounded as they did not expect the situation to turn out like this. Afraid of the malevolent reputation of the Xiao Clan's Great Bandit, many of the escort guards left their goods and scattered in the distance.
The Life Xiao Great Bandit did not pay attention to them, the 12 of them surrounded Ling Yun and attacked him at the same time.
"Good job!" Ling Yun was overjoyed, and counterattacked. Ever since he broke through, he had not tested his strength in actual combat. He could use these Vital Point s to practice. That's right, these vicious bandits were but piles of moving Vital Point in his eyes.
Ling Yun grabbed towards Su Jie with one hand, who quickly blocked and jumped three feet back. Unexpectedly, Ling Yun's hand suddenly changed its direction, and grabbed towards Su Jie from top to bottom.
"Tai!" Su Jie bellowed, he quickly retreated, dodging to the left and right, one of the fists was punching back at Ling Yun, the other hand had pulled out a dagger that was glowing with a cold light and stabbed towards Ling Yun, this explosive attack completely revealed the strength of an Earth Realm master.
Other than that, the attacks of the other Great Bandit s had also arrived in front of Ling Yun.
"Oh no, it's over!" The rest of the escort saw Ling Yun's predicament and exclaimed out loud. They had already seen that Ling Yun was probably at the early stage of the heavy sword, but with so many Profound Level experts surrounding and attacking him, forget about the fact that Ling Yun was only at the early stage of the heavy sword, even the late stage of the heavy sword would die if he was not careful, let alone Su Jie, who was also a heavy sword expert.
"Alright!" Unexpectedly, Ling Yun didn't dodge, and used his hook to grab Su Jie's throat.
"Damn it!" Seeing that, Su Jie secretly cursed, and could only retreat and retreat. If he really got grabbed by Ling Yun, although his own dagger could also stab Ling Yun, it would not be worth it even if he had to sacrifice his own life. Moreover, even if he were to retreat and attack, this boy, even if he was at the late stage of the heavy sword, would still be smashed apart by the attacks of so many of his brothers.
"Bang bang bang bang!" Sure enough, as Su Jie had expected, with so many experts of Profound Level attacking, Ling Yun was unable to dodge. After barely blocking several attacks, a majority of them still landed on his body. Seeing that, Su Jie revealed a smile.
