75 Chapter 75: Making a Move Against The Bandit Group!!
After removing the pressure, the leader took a bite off the meat without giving a second glance to the pale faces of people surrounding him.
They all felt the sharp aura surrounding them, they immediately realized that the man in front of them could kill them at any time if they dared to cross their lines. Even though they were a few levels apart the difference between them was like heaven and earth..
"The one who gave the information about the duo was the head of the Xiao family." Noah was not shocked to hear the name of the man. After the amount of insult he had faced in that meeting, if he did not do anything like this then he might be surprised.
But he was curious about this bandit group because it did not look like they had a normal background.
He could tell from the weapons they had. All of them were spirit weapons. Although except the leader all of the rest had failed or incomplete ones, they were still stronger than the normal ones.
Spirit weapons are made using beast cores and many other materials and they can be only wielded by Cultivators.
They are extremely sharp and stronger than the normal weapons because they have the materials infused with spirit energy inside them.
Even the lowest of the blades can slash through brick walls like a knife through butter. Just like the power of the weapons their price was also high.
The lowest of the sprint weapons cost a few low level spirit stones and the incomplete one cost a mountain of golds. To have such weapons in a bandit group means someone was backing them up.
Someone powerful and wealthy!
"It looks like the Xiao family is really planning to marry their daughter to the son of the sect leader.."
"What do you mean?" They started talking among themselves as the man explained what happened in the city hall and the leader also listened to their request with interest as he drank a mouthful of wine from the jars laying around.
"That's enough, Go and take a rest , we will continue our journey tomorrow." After a while the leader got up and ordered the people. His face was slightly red because of the alcohol he had drank.
The rest of the men were also the same if not worse. They got up and walked to their tents with each other's support. The tents were small makeshift ones that most Cultivators use while hunting. They are generally easy to set up and do not take more than five minutes for experienced Cultivators. After a while a dark shadow shuttled through the dark and entered the nearest camp.
*Stab!*
With a single stab he assassinated the man inside the tent and placed a seal so that the smell of the blood doesn't spread. *Stab*
*Woosh* freēwēbηovel.c૦m
*Slash!*
As he moved through from tent to tent he killed most of the men in their sleep and made his way towards the next tent where he found the same frail man from before looking at a drunk man and speaking.
"Do you really not want to do it?" "Why the fuck would I want to do that?"
"I know you enjoyed it that day, why are you acting like this now? Everyone is sleeping, no one will know!!"
He continued to please and persuade him to do it.
"I.. Hick!..." The man hesitated and the red glow on his face which came from drinking deepened for unknown reasons.
Seeing this scene Noah almost threw up. He could not take it anymore and appeared behind the frail stabbing him in the neck.
*Stab!*
Blood sprayed from the wound and his dead body fell to the ground.
*Thud!*
The man who was previously blushing now stared at Noah with panic and fear, he could only watch the man die with his eyes wide open.
"...Enemy Attack!!"
Coming out of his shock he yelled to inform others and Noah also did not kill him immediately but instead he smirked at him.
Seeing the expression on Noah's face and response from outside he paled. Before he could even channel his qi to attack. Noah beheaded him.
*Woosh*
Noah arrived outside the final tent. The one in which the leader of the group was staying. He entered inside and saw him sitting there polishing his sword as he looked.
Sensing someone enter the tent he turned sharply and yelled.
"Who!"
His eyes matched with Noah's as he remembered the face of the boy he had seen in the painting.
"Haha boy you came to dig your grave yourself. I have had such a bad time because of you. I had to do those digesting things because of you? Tell me where that woman is so that I can kill you!!" He released his killing intent and the pressure enveloped the boy while the tent blew away with the pressure.
Sensing something amiss the leader looked around and his face paled when he saw that there was no trace of any living aura in the area.
He turned to look at Noah who was looking at him with a slight grin on his face and..
*Snap*
With a snap of his finger all of the seals disappeared and a strong smell of blood engulfed his senses.
He did not even think and charged at the boy with his blade.
Noah saw the man charging at him with fast speed and didn't even flinch. The sword arrived in front of him only to be stopped by his own sword.
"How is that possible? How can your normal sword stop my Spirit sword!!" He yelled and swung his sword again and again only to be dodged by Noah.
After the breakthrough he had grown quite a lot in strength and now that he was at the second stage of Qi Condensation Realm, Noah could tell that he was unbeatable against normal peak Cultivators of the same realm.
Noah pushed the bandit back with his sword and used his sword technique to finish him off. "Dawn Break."
A single streak of flare made a beautiful arc in the night as the head of the last bandit flew in the air.
*Thud*
*Woosh*
Ignoring the dead bodied Noah flicked his wrist to remove the blood off the sword before sheathing it back.
Noah felt the ground trembling and his lips twitched knowing what was coming and he hurriedly moved away. *Crack*
Just as he expected a huge crack appeared on the ground and swallowed everything along with the weapons before closing up.
He even hallucinated that the ground was burping.
Shaking his head Noah turned back and walked towards the place they were resting.
