With a flick of his finger, the bandits were reduced to ash!
The cultivators watching from afar couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
They were utterly shaken, finding the scene hard to believe!
’How could such a terrifying Cultivator appear here? He must be a genius Transcender, right?’
Jiang Jichen was, of course, aware that many other Cultivators were watching from the surroundings.
So, he didn’t use his old techniques, nor did he need to.
After realizing he was in the Yunshui City Suburbs, Jiang Jichen knew he had to be cautious and not reveal his identity so easily.
In the future, if he wanted to travel across the Southern Continent, he feared he could no longer use his old techniques with such ease.
However, after stepping into the Perfect Dao Platform Foundation Establishnt Realm, Jiang Jichen had far too many new techniques at his disposal.
Even if he temporarily refrained from using his old Spirit Skills, Martial Techniques, and Swordsmanship, it wouldn’t have a significant impact on his current combat prowess.
For example, what he had just unleashed was the Second Form of the Soul Destruction Finger: Rain Falling on the Firmant.
As for the first form, the Cloud Disappearing Rain Scattering Finger, he could no longer use it in public from now on.
All around, more than twenty bandit corpses lay on the ground. Their vital points—the space between their eyebrows, their hearts, their Qi Seas—were all pierced clean through, leaving behind bloody holes that made one’s skin crawl.
Jiang Jichen looked at the only survivor, a boy of seven or eight, and said, "I’m going to pay a visit to the Earth Bandit Gang’s headquarters. And you?"
His tone was placid, as if he had just done sothing utterly insignificant.
And now, as he spoke of assaulting the Earth Bandit Gang’s headquarters, he was still just as casual, as if... it, too, were just another insignificant little thing to do.
Such an air, such a presence... was simply indomitable!
Those watching from a distance trembled inwardly.
Everyone knew the Earth Bandit Gang’s headquarters was a veritable dragon’s lair, guarded by their Gang Leader, a master at the Foundation Establishnt Perfection Realm. There were also twelve Protectors at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt Realm and countless other subordinates in the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
And yet, this youth treated such terrifyingly powerful enemies as if they were nothing, casually planning to go and wipe them out.
’And... he even planned to take that little boy, asking him if he wanted to go?’
Zuo Feng was still in a state of shock. He never imagined the youth beside him could be so powerful.
The very people who could have easily massacred them were now just as easily massacred by this youth.
And now... he was going to storm the Earth Bandit Gang’s headquarters!
At that mont, Zuo Feng felt his blood run hot, and his small, thin fra began to tremble.
Who doesn’t have childhood dreams?
Who hasn’t felt the hot-blooded impulses of youth?
Zuo Feng had always wanted to grow up, to beco strong.
Just like... this big brother before him, who was like a Celestial God, slaughtering bandits with a flick of a finger and wiping out enemies with a smile!
Before, that was his... dream.
Now, it was his... path to revenge!
"Big Brother, I want to go with you and kill our enemies! I want to beco strong! I want to slaughter every bandit under the heavens and avenge my family!"
The little boy, only seven or eight years old, shouted his reply without a trace of fear.
Jiang Jichen laughed heartily. "Haha... A true man ought to be so! To cast aside his head and spill hot blood, to walk the path of cultivation without fear of death, knowing only endless battle!"
"Kid, you don’t have to kill anyone. You just need to follow and watch. One day, you will surely be able to do the sa!"
Jiang Jichen pulled Zuo Feng to his feet and took a step. It was as if the world inverted, and in an instant, they were a hundred ters away.
This was the fourth form of Shadow Step, the Mountain River Shadow Stepping Technique. A single step made it seem as if the very landscape was rushing backward as he flashed past, leaving only an afterimage in his wake.
At Jiang Jichen’s current realm, he could only manage one flash per step, crossing a hundred ters in an instant.
But this was still an astonishing speed. The crowd saw only an afterimage of Jiang Jichen at his original spot; his real body was already a hundred ters away.
They watched as the youth, leading the small boy, quickly vanished into the great mountain so thirty li away.
Everyone knew that was the mountain where the Earth Bandit Gang made its lair!
Just then, an enraged roar echoed from the Earth Bandit Gang’s mountain: "Who dares kill the n of my Earth Bandit Gang?"
"I didn’t kill any n. I only killed beasts!" Jiang Jichen’s clear voice rang out in reply.
"Insolent fool! Not only did you kill n from my Earth Bandit Gang, but you dare to hurl insults and storm our gates? You’re courting death! I’ll have you—"
The voice was enraged, but the words were cut short.
SPLAT!
The spectators who had hurried closer saw from afar a bandit at the Foundation Establishnt Middle Realm get obliterated by a palm strike from the Demon Youth. Flesh and blood rained down in a truly grueso scene.
Jiang Jichen now stood before the main gate of the Earth Bandit Gang. Ahead of him was a massive, three-story mountain hall.
The bandit Jiang Jichen had just obliterated was an Earth Bandit Gang expert who had received a call for aid and was rushing out to help.
He never expected his opponent to be so fast, or so audacious as to storm directly into their mountain stronghold.
Accompanying the expert who had been blown apart were two other bandits at the Foundation Establishnt Early Stage Realm.
At first, they had been dismissive of Jiang Jichen. ’An Innate Tenth Realm Cultivator dares to attack the Earth Bandit Gang’s mountain stronghold?’
’That’s really... courting death!’
Only now did they realize that the one courting death was not the youth, but themselves.
Their leader, a master of the Foundation Establishnt Middle Realm, had been obliterated by a single palm strike. The thought of turning to flee had just begun to form in their minds...
But Jiang Jichen had already raised and lowered his hand again, and a wave of palm energy sliced off both their heads.
These were all Foundation Establishnt Cultivators who had ford the most ordinary of Dao Platforms. For Jiang Jichen, killing them was as easy as chopping vegetables.
As for the low-level bandits guarding the Earth Bandit Gang, whose strength only ranged from the Minor Grandmaster to the Grandmaster Realm, the sight had already drained all the color from their faces.
But why would Jiang Jichen hold back?
’Just from their cries, it’s easy to guess what these bandits get up to.’
’Which one of them doesn’t have hands stained with blood and a mountain of evil deeds to their na?’
So, even though they were powerless to resist, Jiang Jichen still slaughtered them without rcy.
Because these bandits would just as rcilessly raise their butcher’s knives against those who had no power to resist.
’By all rights, soone should have cleaned up these bandits. The Heavenly Sword Alliance, the Seven Great Families, the Three Major Sects... but none of them did a thing!’
’To let these bandits run rampant and terrorize a region, there must be so deeper, more intriguing reason.’
But Jiang Jichen couldn’t care less about any of that.
’A man walks this world to kill those who deserve to be killed. Why have so many scruples?’
Jiang Jichen flicked his finger. An endless golden light rained down, filling the air like a shower of arrows, instantly annihilating the dozens of bandits guarding the mountain gate.
Zuo Feng followed beside Jiang Jichen, the look on his little face was incredibly resolute, devoid of any fear.
’He was as good as dead already. Now that he was still alive... what was there left to fear?’
"Kid, follow . I’ll take you to storm the second level!" Jiang Jichen announced proudly.
"Big Brother, my na isn’t ’Kid’! It’s Zuo Feng!" the little boy responded.
"Alright then, Zuo Feng. Follow to kill so beasts!" Jiang Jichen said with a laugh.
However, no sooner had Jiang Jichen’s words fallen than a terrifying might pressed down from the sky, blanketing the entire mountain.
"Such gall! To dare invade my mountain and kill my n. No matter who you are, you will die!"
The voice bood like rolling thunder, stirring the very winds and clouds.
’It’s the Gang Leader of the Earth Bandit Gang!’
The crowd turned pale, crying out in their hearts.
