Chapter 295: Chapter 293: The Earth Bandit Gang’s Backer
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader, a cultivator at the Profound Level Dao Platform Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm!
Among the low-level Gang Leaders in Yunshui City, he was a cut above the rest.
The gang itself was undoubtedly the strongest of the minor bandit gangs.
It was no wonder they were so arrogant and reckless!
But... Jiang Jichen had lost count of how many Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm cultivators he’d killed in the Exquisite Treasure Tower.
He had even killed experts like Nangong Jinjie, a cultivator at the Pseudo-Heaven-level Dao Platform Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm!
So, to the current Jiang Jichen, a bandit at the Profound Level Dao Platform Foundation Establishment Perfect Realm... was pathetic!
As the Earth Bandit Gang Leader’s immense pressure bore down, a Light of Spiritual Patterns erupted from Jiang Jichen, enveloping Zuo Feng and shielding him from its influence completely.
Then, Jiang Jichen spoke coolly, "It’s not your turn yet. Scram back to the third-floor hall and wait!"
As he spoke, Jiang Jichen gave a flick of his sleeve toward the Earth Bandit Gang Leader striding through the air.
BOOM!
The wind and clouds surged and the mountains trembled. A vast wave of golden Spiritual Patterns rolled forth, blanketing the sky.
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader’s expression changed in an instant. Without hesitation, he conjured a powerful Magic Technique to block the incoming wave of golden Spiritual Patterns.
But it was completely useless. The powerful Magic Technique he had conjured disintegrated the moment it touched the golden Spiritual Patterns blanketing the sky.
Then... he was swept away by the golden Spiritual Patterns, his body hurtling uncontrollably back into the third-floor hall—the very place he had just charged out of.
"This...!"
The cultivators watching from afar and the members of the Earth Bandit Gang were instantly dumbstruck, completely bewildered.
’Didn’t the Earth Bandit Gang Leader arrive with overwhelming might?’
’Didn’t he just boast that no one could save that kid?’
’So how did he get swatted back the moment he showed up?’
It was shocking, simply unbelievable!
Now *that* was what you call powerful and domineering!
Now *that* was how you show off in style!
That Demon Youth had absolutely mastered the art!
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader had arrived with great fanfare, yet after saying a single sentence, he was swatted away by the Demon Youth as if he were a common housefly.
The meaning behind his actions was clear: ’Go back where you came from and stay put. If I want to see you, I’ll come and kill you myself. For now... it’s not your turn.’
’Is this really the kind of power a youth at the Innate Tenth Realm should possess?’
The Loose Cultivators watching from afar were filled with amazement, while the bandits in the mountain halls were gripped by terror.
However, before they could even process what had happened, Jiang Jichen was already striding into the Earth Bandit Gang’s hall.
The bandits on the first floor of the Earth Bandit Gang’s mountain hall were mostly at the Grandmaster Realm, with a few at the Foundation Establishment Early and Middle Stage Realm.
Jiang Jichen strode forward, unleashing a merciless slaughter with a torrent of finger attacks.
No one could withstand a single exchange. Nothing could slow Jiang Jichen’s advance in the slightest.
Leading Zuo Feng, he carved a path through them as if they weren’t there!
Some bandits tried to flee, but they were nowhere near fast enough to outrun the storm of Jiang Jichen’s Finger Light.
In that moment, these bandits—men who had committed countless evils and killed without remorse—were struck by a single thought: this Demon Youth who had come to their doorstep was the true Fierce Bandit!
One hundred bandits occupied the first hall. Jiang Jichen never broke his stride. By the time he stepped into the second hall, the floor behind him was littered with corpses.
The bandits’ faces were all twisted in terror at the moment of their deaths.
In the vast first hall, amidst the corpses of the bandits, there was an execution ground. Hanging there were the bodies of a dozen female cultivators, stripped naked and covered in wounds. Blood dripped from between their legs.
Some, of course, were not yet truly dead, clinging to a final, fading breath.
But their deaths were only a matter of time. They were beyond saving.
Jiang Jichen’s expression was like stone. He simply covered Zuo Feng’s eyes with one hand, shielding him from the sight.
As for the female cultivators who still clung to life, Jiang Jichen granted them a true release with a casual flick of his finger, extinguishing their pain.
’Hopefully... in their next lives, they won’t have to be Loose Cultivators.’
Jiang Jichen felt little emotion, nor did he feel much pity.
He understood that this was simply the way of the world. There was no right or wrong, only the law of the jungle.
And so, as Jiang Jichen stepped into the second hall of the Earth Bandit Gang’s fortress, his heart had grown even colder, even harder.
A coldness and hardness reserved for his enemies.
Only by slaughtering every last one of them could those women rest in peace.
Jiang Jichen casually summoned a bandit’s saber into his hand and began his slaughter of the bandits in the second hall of the Earth Bandit Gang.
The second hall held more than fifty men, all of them above the Grandmaster Realm. Among them were seven bandits at the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm.
But they lacked even the courage to face Jiang Jichen, and every one of them tried to flee.
However, Jiang Jichen had already sealed the entire area with a single thought. How could any of them escape?
Furthermore, under the sweep of Jiang Jichen’s terrifying Divine Thought, no one on the mountain could hide. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to conceal themselves!
"Spare me! I won’t be a bandit anymore!"
"Please let me go, I was wrong!"
"Ah, you Demon, don’t come any closer!"
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
...
These bandits, usually so vicious and cruel, were now consumed by boundless terror.
They begged, they fled, they fought for their lives, but nothing they did could stir the slightest ripple in Jiang Jichen’s heart.
The great saber danced like a storm rolling through, shredding everything in its path.
This Sword Skill was called the Great Wind Saber!
Every slash unleashed a Sword Gang Storm that threatened to annihilate everything in its path.
Moreover, once a Sword Gang Storm was unleashed, it was relentless, with one wave following another in an endless torrent.
By the time Jiang Jichen led Zuo Feng into the third hall of the Earth Bandit Gang’s fortress, the second hall behind them was already filled with the endless Sword Gang Storm. It had become a Land of Destruction, and everyone within had been... ground to dust!
Though it takes long to tell, the entire slaughter had occurred in the space of a dozen breaths.
It took no more time than for Jiang Jichen to walk from the first floor to the third unopposed. At that very moment, the Earth Bandit Gang Leader finally broke free of the Golden Pattern and charged out of the third hall.
Following close behind him were twelve Fierce Bandits, all at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm!
He stared at Jiang Jichen with a vicious glare, but he couldn’t conceal the sliver of fear in his eyes.
’Just now, I was completely powerless against a mere flick of his sleeve. This... this is a feeling I’ve only ever gotten from the Young Master of the Celestial Bandit Gang.’
’And yet, this youth before me is so young, and he’s only at the Innate Tenth Realm!’
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader had just charged out, but before he could even speak, he saw that the first two halls of his fortress were in ruins, his subordinates slaughtered to the last man.
’How is this possible?’
’How could he be so strong?’
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader roared internally, his heart filled with bitter resentment.
The foundation he had spent years building was now ruined in a single day.
His hatred for Jiang Jichen was so deep it could not be washed clean by all the waters of the sea.
The Earth Bandit Gang Leader’s eyes were bloodshot. Panting heavily, he snarled, "Do you have any idea who my backer is? It’s the Celestial Bandit Gang! I even know their Young Master! How dare you destroy my life’s work! You..."
"The Celestial Bandit Gang?"
Jiang Jichen was actually a little surprised.
"What? Scared now, are you? Hmph, this time..."
Seeing the surprise on Jiang Jichen’s face, the Earth Bandit Gang Leader mistook it for fear, and his voice immediately grew arrogant.
"I’ll get around to wiping them out next time I’m free. For now, I’ll start with you!"
However, Jiang Jichen cut him off mid-sentence, raising the great saber and charging forward.
