Chapter 611: Side Story – All About Bandits (IV)

The middle region of the Martial Brilliance Continent was known as the land of bandits. From east to west, out of a hundred thousand kilometers of land, it was said that every meter of it was occupied by a bloodthirsty criminal that was willing to betray a friend or sell a family member to make some money. The situation wasnt truly this bad but it was close.

The relatively peaceful lands to the north and south made no attempts to subjugate the middle. One reason was that the continent was truly massive and nobody had the manpower. Another was that lawlessness and chaos had their own benefits because they created a breeding ground for new talents.

Peace and abundance led to laziness and contentment. Cultivation did not fare well under these conditions. On the other hand, the human ability to survive and struggle, to fight with each other and compete through bloodshed, led to breakthroughs that were otherwise impossible.

And within this land of bandits, there was a specific area that drew the interest of a certain bandit, one named Immortal Sword Bandit Lin Huzhong

It was a moonless night. Chen Wentian, using Chen Mos shadow body, and disguised as Lin Huzhong, arrived above a solitary mountain fortress. It was made out of grey stone hewn from the nearby mountains. Situated on a plateau with cliffs on three sides, it seemed almost impregnable. Its size wasnt too excessive but could still house several thousand comfortably. Most importantly, there was also an immortal bandit living inside.

He watched as a large group of people approached the fortress from all sides, silently, stealthily. They were his people, his bandit gang.

The Red Sun Gang took the main road that wound up the southern side of the mountain and towards the main entrance to the west. They came in full force and were armed to the teeth. Numbering over five hundred, they were kitted out with brand-new armor and tall shields. Since they werent really good at anything, they had been assigned the role of meat shields. But Chen Wentian wasnt a sadist so he had at least spent some money to help them in their task.

The Iron Lock Crew climbed up the cliffs to the north. As experts with chains, they knew how to use them to climb and scale tall cliffs. These professional kidnappers were ill-suited for besieging a city but since their immortal bandit lord had commanded it, nobody dared to slack off.Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

The eastern cliffs were given to the Blood Hook Gang. They were assassins so they naturally knew how to scale such obstacles. They made even better progress than the Iron Lock Crew and were additionally assigned to set up rope ladders for the remaining gangs of the alliance.

In that instant, before the rotund beast could explode in rage, a beam of sword light descended from the moonless sky. It came so fast that it formed a bright, straight line as if it was drawn by a divine being. It was only as thin as a finger. From a distance, it was thin as a thread.

The unstoppable sword beam punched through the unprepared immortals forehead and exited out the back. Quicker than one could blink, it was over. The light disappeared and so did the suffocating sword energy.

And as the excessively fat immortal crashed into the ground in front of the gate, another immortal who was also fat, but not so shamelessly large as the first one, descended from the sky.
