Chapter 98: Bandits

"Indeed, brat. And you have walked right into our territory. We built this road and planted these trees, so hand over all your wealth and treasures as compensation to use it. Or you can try to resist, hahaha, I heard there is a shortage of pretty-faced young ones in the slave market. You will fit right into it."

Shen Yuan's eyes flashed, "Slave market? Where is this slave market you speak of?"

He didn't know that there was a slave market in this world, 'Seems like the cultivation world is darker than I thought, sigh.'

The leader looked at him as if he couldn't believe what he heard, "Bahahaha, brothers, you heard what this brat said? Hahaha."

The bandit's laughter became even more wild as they heard his question.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan didn't move an inch from his place and patiently waited for them to answer, since from the looks of it the leader was a chatty one.

"Each city has a slave market you naive brat. I don't know how you were raised up that you don't even know such basic stuff. You just need to visit the black market to find whatever you want." The leader finally ceased laughing and told him about it.

Shen Yuan nodded his head and spoke, "I will spare your life as my token of thanks for sharing this knowledge, if you don't want to die, then scram!"

The leader and the other lackeys got silent as they looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"I told you all that so you won't die as a curious ghost. Not because I'm kind enough to let you live. And now you dare to ask me to scram? The sheer arrogance... I should end you for that alone!"

Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, "And I wanted so much time talking with you lot to see if I can gain something interesting. Looks like I found where to go next, so now your lives are worthless."

The leader felt his anger rising at being seen in such contemptuous manner by a brat, "Surround this little bastard!"

His movements were precise and almost lazy as if he was toying with them. Whenever a bandit came close, he would use other bandits as his shield, having them pull back their attacks.

He didn't stop there as he started actively attacking them as well, hitting their joints and making them lose balance.

He wasn't even fighting properly, he was just toying with them since he was much stronger and faster than them.

They continued to surge towards him trying their best to at least hit him, but none were successful as they felt their fear growing.

The bandit leader shouted as he also felt his feet turning cold, "What are you idiots doing!! Attack him! Haah!"

He also joined the crowd with a shout, fully displaying the cultivation base of an Origin Core Creation Realm cultivator, his vice leaders also joined as they unsheathed their weapons and released their Origin Core Creation Realm cultivation base.

Shen Yuan noticed them from afar as he got a bit more serious, even though he felt not a hint of threat from them, he didn't want to take them lightly as he had never fought with an Origin Core Creation Realm cultivator.

He swiped his hand and decapitated tens of bandits, forcing all of them to step back in horror.

'Hmm... This Sword Intent is really useful, I can infuse my qi with my intent to make it even sharper than most swords.' he thought to himself as he glanced through the horrified crowd, finally settling his gaze on the bandit's leaders.

They paused as even though they didn't want to fight with this monster, the Scar-faced leader spoke in a heavy tone, "Young Man, we should drop this matter. It won't be good for all of us if we continue fighting." He conceded a little, which only made Shen Yuan chuckle.

"Too late, should have backed off when I gave you the chance. Now it's no longer up to you if you want to leave or not." He raised his hand and made a provocation gesture towards the bandit leaders.

He didn't wait for them to attack first this time. He sprinted towards them, reaching their location before they could react, and punched the scar-faced leader in the guts, sending him flying but not killing him in one blow.

He then jumped and kicked two of the three vice leaders on their sides. Sending them flying into the crowd of bandits as well. The last one stood on the spot, staring at Shen Yuan with wide eyes, he didn't have much time to react as Shen Yuan slapped him in the face and sent him flying.
