Chapter 569 - Asleep
The bandits who were hesitating in what to do suddenly turned smug when they saw their leader arrive. Even though all of them combined were no match for Mo Fan's group, their leader was something else. Their leader was someone that should be able to deal with Mo Fan's group quite easily.
"What was it you want my men to do, cut off their arms?"
The Bandit leader took out his blade as he spoke with a sinister smile on his face. On the other hand, Mo Fan was rather surprised that he wasn't nervous at all. Even his companions except for Mo Ye weren't nervous.
When the Bandit leader noticed that the group of people wasn't showing any signs of fear he was confused.
'Are these people exiles from a warrior clan, are they unafraid of death?... It doesn't really matter since they're weaker than me then that means I can take whatever I want, even their lives are for the taking.'
After a short pause, the Bandit Leader gave a signal making his men surround Mo Fan's group. He circled around old man Mo Fan with a teasing smile on his face. When he saw that his men had completely encircled Mo Fan's group he spoke.
"How about instead of my subordinates cutting off their arms, you and your men leave your lives here."
The moment he said those words, the Bandit Leader saw that the group remained indifferent to his threats. The Bandit Leader was infuriated by their reactions and emitted his killing intent to show that he was serious. It was at that moment Mo Fan's group finally showed some kind of reaction but it was not what the Bandit Leader was expecting, the group of lunatics was actually smiling. Seeing their reactions as if mocking him just made the Bandit Leader even more furious.
"Kill them all! F*cking kill them all leave none behind!"
When the Bandit Leader gave that order to kill, all of his subordinates came bursting with killing intent. It was at that moment when they were about to attack that all the bandits suddenly froze as an intense fear had taken over them. Their bodies and minds were screaming in terror telling them to run away as fast as possible, but they could not move not even a single finger was able to so much as twitch. The Bandit Leader and his men couldn't understand what was happening as the intense sense of dread came over them. They then saw the young man who was sleeping suddenly stand up.
All of their senses were telling them that death was coming. It was at that moment they finally understood that it was the young man who had his eyes closed that made them feel this way. The young man was slowly approaching them, they could easily escape if they run now but their bodies weren't responding. The killing intent Ren was emitting was so intense that it could only be emitted by someone who has killed thousands or even more.
The person who was closest to Ren was unable to hold it in as he started to pee and tears flowed down from his face. As Ren's hands stretched towards him the man gritted his teeth and with all of his might he attacked Ren, but before he could hit, Ren had already grabbed hold of his head and squeezed it. The pain was severe as he struggled to break free, yet in the end, it was a fruitless effort as his head exploded and his blood and brains splattered everywhere.
Seeing this scene of their companion dying such a horrible death, the Bandit Leader and his men were fully overtaken by their fear, but this time their fear did not immobilize them, instead it pushed them forward. The Bandits charged towards Ren, crying and roaring trying their best to use their superior numbers. Yet as soon as they came close Ren would grab hold of their heads and same as the first bandit were killed by him squeezing their heads.
No matter what they did, no matter how they dodged, how they attacked, how they defended, no matter what in the end Ren's hands would eventually reach their heads and kill them. Even if an attack were to reach Ren's body it proved useless as Ren's body was harder than any of their weapons. None of the Bandits except for the leader were beyond the body forging stage so they could not empower their weapons with Qi, or the so called origin energy.
As the bandits were being killed one by one, those that had regained their senses tried to flee, but the moment they showed their backs a hand would pierce through their abdomen. It was a slaughter as blood rained and fell on the desert sand.
Mo Fan's group watched in horror as Ren was killing off the bandits. They were now even more relieved that they listen to old man Mo Fan and didn't do anything stupid in front of Ren. If they had made a mistake they would've died much more horrible deaths. On the other hand, Mo Ye who had no clue who Ren was, looked at the scene with utter confusion and terror.
...
After only ten seconds, several dozen Bandits have died on the desert sand, and now only one remained. Even the Bandit Leader's mount was killed without mercy, and right now the Bandit Leader whose strength was leagues above the rest of the bandits was doing his very best to dodge Ren's hands. It took everything he had just to dodge and he had no room to do anything else. He knew that if this keeps up he was going to die sooner or later. After a while, the Bandit Leader then decided to take a gamble.
"Damn it! Let's see if you can take this!"
The Bandit Leader roared as he gathered every ounce of his Qi into his sword. Of course, Ren wasn't going to stop attacking as the Bandit Leader was gathering Qi. As Ren's hands were about to reach, this time the Bandit Leader did not avoid it, instead he blocked it with his left hand. Ren had tightly grabbed hold of the Bandit Leader's left hand and pulled it, detaching it from the Bandit Leader's body. The pain the Bandit Leader felt was like no other but he held it in and concentrated on gathering his Qi into his weapon.
"It's time to die you monster!"
The Bandit Leader swung his sword down. The sword that was filled with the Bandit Leader's entire Qi reserves came crashing down on Ren. As he thought that victory was in his sight, the Bandit Leader smiled when his sword made contact with Ren's head. Yet the scene where Ren was split in half never happened, instead, his weapon was the one that broke. He wasn't even able to feel the despair coming back as Ren's hand tightly squeezed his head and killed him.
Mo Fan and his men who had watched the entire fight could not believe that Ren was able to kill someone as strong as the Bandit Leader even while asleep.. He didn't even wake up after receiving that full-powered attack from someone at the mid-level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. The question once again came to their minds, what kind of monster did they pick up?
