Chapter 52: Slaughter

Leader Li also trembled slightly, his palm sweating a bit, but then he felt his anger surge as he realized that he got scared by a mere brat. He shook his head slightly and roared, raising his bow above his head, "Puny tricks! You can't win against me brat!"

He charged forward alone to show that he wasn't scared of a mere brat, even though his palms were sweating due to nervousness.

The other criminals looked at each other and also picked up their bows to go and fight Shen Yuan.

The 3 high-level cultivators, The swordsman, the saber wielder, and the bald man didn't move an inch but took out bows from their inventory, while the bald man screamed, "Attack him together with the leader! We will provide backup from here and shoot him with our bows."

He raised his bow to show his confidence, while other weaker criminals also got a bit more courage and took out their short-range weapons, swords, spears, sabers, daggers, maces, halberds, etc.

They all rushed towards Shen Yuan, who put Han Ming's body down on the ground and stood still with a sword in his hand, staring closely at all of the ones who were responsible for the death of his one true friend.

He didn't speak a word and began rushing towards the criminals on the opposite side of Leader Li, 'I need to deal with the rest of these lowlifes before going after him, else they will keep interfering with me.'

Leader Li's eyes widened in anger as he saw Shen Yuan going after his underlings while ignoring him. However, he also heaved a sigh of relief internally, as this proved that Shen Yuan still wasn't his opponent since he was running from him.

Leader Li's face flushed with anger as he couldn't do anything while Shen Yuan exterminated all of his underlings single-handedly. He trembled slightly as he pointed his broad sword and roared, "I will kill you! You fucking bastard!"

Even though he was screaming loudly, he didn't take a step forward as he was afraid that he would kill the rest of his underlings.

Even though the remaining underlings were weak, they were still more useful alive than dead. So he could only remain in the same place and wait for him to attack, while the others didn't have the courage to move towards Shen Yuan on his own.

Even Li Yu's face was pale from fear, shivering slightly as felt her knees weaken from fear and regret, she grimaced as she thought, 'If I knew he was this powerful I wouldn't have betrayed him and stayed by his side instead, I-' she couldn't even think straight under the pressure of Shen Yuan's cold gaze.

Shen Yuan continued staring closely at the bunch of people with his red eyes, his eyes completely red as his mind was empty, the only thought in his mind was to finish off the people who killed Han Ming.

He slowly started walking towards Leader Li, since he was in front of all the others, it would be pretty hard to finish them off before his interference. So he decided to fight head-on.

Leader Li's muscles tensed as he focused intently on Shen Yuan, watching his every movement for a flaw to exploit. He gripped his broadsword tightly as Shen Yuan came within 100 meters of him.

Shen Yuan stomped his foot on the ground and jumped towards Leader Li with his Dual Swords, Leader Li's eyes widened as he swung his broad sword down with full force. Trying to cut Shen Yuan in two with sheer strength.

But Shen Yuan cleverly used the Flowing Water Sword Technique with one of his swords to change the direction of the sword and struck the neck of Leader Li.
