Return Of The Demon - 127 The fight with bandits ends
The two leaders of the caravan security were also stunned by Bai Yun’s actions. But they were awakened first by Bai Yun’s reminder. Without waiting, the two of them rushed at the two bandit leaders and attacked them.
The two bandit leaders responded quickly, but they were still a beat too late. Their attacks were weak, and they found themselves injured. In an instant, the situation had turned unfavorable for them.
The next moment fighting resumed between the bandits and the security forces also. Bai Yun sat down and watched it all with great interest,
“Oy you brat, I know you are quite strong.” Suddenly Hunag Yai shouted. “Join the fighting now.”
“I am injured”, Bai Yun said pointing to his right hand.
“Kid if you don’t join the fight right now, when I finish this fight, I will beat you up.” Huang Yao shouted back.
‘Unreasonable woman.’ Bai Yun grumbled as he got up. He then went through a gap in the carriages and joined the defense team.
“Kill him, he killed the deputy leader.” A random bandit shouted as he ran towards Bai Yun.
Bai Yun only took a single step forward and then swung his sword. He both stopped the attack of the bandit as well as swiped his sword over the bandit’s neck in one movement. The next moment the bandit fell done on the ground, dead.
Bai Yun then took one step after another through the crowd. To anyone who might be watching, it almost looked as if he was taking a stroll. But wherever Bai Yun passed through someone would die. The bandits at the foundation establishment levels were being stopped by the security and the mercenaries, so most of who were left behind were quite weak. Bai Yun only needed a single moment to kill them. In a few moments, Bai Yun had killed over a dozen bandits.
Suddenly Bai Yun felt an attack coming at him from his side. Bai Yun quickly ducked and jabbed with his elbow at the same time. The bandit caught his elbow, but both of them were pushed back by the force.
Bai Yun looked up to see an early foundation establishment realm cultivator standing there. He had escaped the fight with the security team to hunt Bai Yun.
But Bai Yun was not at all concerned by this. Bai Yun was able to defeat early foundation establishment when he was blind. He was much stronger now. Of course, these guys had a lot more fighting experience. But to Bai Yun, it was all the same.
And Bai Yun did not stop to explain how he was walking multiple cultivation paths. He blew away the sword of the bandit. Then Bai Yun stepped in, turned, and rammed into the bandit with his left shoulder.
As the bandit was pushed back, Bai Yun turned around and kicked at him. The bandit tried to stab at Bai Yun with his sword as a defense. But Bai Yun kicked at the flat side of the sword with the bottom of his feet and pushed the sword away. Then he straightened his legs and kicked at the bandit. The bandit could not block the kick, and it landed straight on his face. The next moment he was sent flying by the kick.
Bai Yun had barely steadied himself when he felt an attack coming from behind him. Bai Yun suddenly ducked by squatting and leaped backward. At the same time, he stabbed upwards with his sword. The next moment, his sword went through the bandit’s neck. Bai Yun was splashed with some blood as he stood up.
At that time the bandit he had sent flying had gotten up. He ran at Bai Yun. While he ran, his sword started to light up. He was using a battle technique.
Bai Yun smiled and ran at him too. At the same time, the tip of Bai Yun’s sword started to light up as Bai Yun used a ray of moonlight.
The two of them neared each other soon. Then the bandit stopped and swung his sword, while Bai Yun stabbed forward. At that moment Bai Yun suddenly stopped his charge and jumped back while bending his body, dodging the bandit’s attack. Seeing this the bandit smiled. Since their swords were about the same length, and he was taller than Bai Yun, his reach was bigger. If Bai Yun jumped back to avoid his attack, then Bai Yun was too far away to attack him too.
Thinking so he was about to continue his attack when he suddenly came to a stop. He found that Bai Yun’s sword had penetrated his throat.
As he looked, he saw Bai Yun waving at him with his sword free hand. Bai Yun had thrown his sword at the bandit when he had jumped, killing him. Bai Yun then went up to the bandit and picked up his weapon.
After this Bai Yun looked around him once again. Most of the bandits had now run away from him in fear. But seeing that more and more foundation establishment realm cultivators were noticing him, Bai Yn quickly retreated to the side of the security forces.
“This is annoying.” Bai Yun said. “Even if we keep on fighting for a long time, we won’t be able to able to end anything until the core formation fight is over.”
“But that is not a fight we can interfere in. We can only hope to kill as many bandits as possible before some of the strongest of us can enter that fight.” One of the security guards said.
Bai Yun thought about this for a long while. Then he turned to the mercenary near him and asked. “Do you have a good enough bow and arrow?”
“Yes, why do you ask.” The mercenary asked.
“I just want to try something.” Bai Yun replied.
The mercenary was confused, but he handed Bai Yun a bow and arrow before he turned back to the fight with the bandits.
Bai Yun took the bow and arrow and retreated back into the center of the caravan. He then drew the bow and pointed at the place where the four core formation cultivators were battling. His right hand was screaming in pain due to the broken bone, but Bai Yun persevered through it. The break wasn’t at a level where it would interfere with Bai Yun’s archery, only make it more painful.
“Don’t bother.” The caravan owner suddenly said. “At your current strength, you won’t be able to harm the core formation realm cultivators. Can you even see them?”
“I am not trying to harm them, just to make an opening.” Bai Yun replied. “And as for seeing them, just barely.”
WIth that Bai Yun turned his attention back to the core formation battles. Bai Yun was only looking at the leader of the rumbling bandits. The leader of the esky bandits was a bit too fast, and Bai Yun wasn’t sure if he could harm him.
In Bai Yun’s eyes, he could only see people moving extremely fast. Even with his superior eyesight, it was a pain to jump two cultivation levels to watch a battle.
Soon Bai Yun could no longer sense anything else. All of his focus was on the leader of the rumbling bandits. The leader of the rumbling bandits was moving all over the place looking for a place to land a hit. And Bai Yun kept on waiting.
And then Bai Yun caught the leader of the rumbling bandits and Huang Yao swing their weapons wildly. In an instant, Bai Yun knew that his time had come. Their blow was filled with strength, and Bai Yun knew that they would be unable to control themselves for an instant afterward.
In an instant, Bai Yun’s eyes lit up. His right eye lit up in a golden color, and his right pupil turned golden. His, left eye turned purple, and his left pupil turned purple. Bai Yun had activated his god and devil eyes. But Bai Yun had narrowed his eyes to a slit, so no one had it yet.
In a moment the movements of the four core formation realm cultivators slowed down tremendously. It almost felt like they were moving just slightly faster than a normal person to Bai Yun. And he could clearly see every little bit of their movements and folds in their body.
In an instant, Bai Yun’s hands moved dozens of times, readjusting his bow and arrow to the optimal point. Suddenly at a particular position, his right eye throbbed. Bai Yun knew that he had found the right position. He held the position for a fraction of a second before he released the arrow.
The arrow flew at an impressive speed right at the leader of the rumbling bandits. It was not flying towards where he was, but where he would be when he came to a stop. In fact, it was almost as if the leader of the rumbling bandits was stepping into the line of the arrow, rather than the arrow flying towards him.
At that time, Bai Yun suddenly closed his right eye, and his left eye lit up as he opened it wide. Everyone who was looking at him was now focussed on his arrow, so no one noticed this anomaly.
The leader of the rumbling bandits felt the arrow coming at him. He only chuckled in response. “This is childish.” He said. “If you think an arrow like this can even distract me, then you are seriously underestimating someone at the core formation realm.” Saying so he swung his sword casually at the arrow, not even bothering to look at it. His focus was more on Huan Yao rather than the arrow.
But the moment his sword crossed the arrow, the leader of the rumbling bandits felt that something was wrong. There was no arrow at the point the sword and arrow crossed paths. Instead, it felt like cutting air, or a mirage. As everyone watched the arrow slowly dissipated.
At that moment Bai Yun fell to his knees and covered his eyes. The next moment the light in his eyes disappeared, and a weakness came across Bai Yun.
At the same time, an arrow appeared right in front of the leader of the rumbling bandits. Just as his eyes widened in surprise, Bai Yun’s arrow pierced right into his right eye!
The leader of the rumbling bandits fell to his knees and screamed around. But just as his scream reached the peak, it was cut off. Huang Yao had not wasted the chance the Bai Yun had given her, And had cut off the head of the leader of the rubbing bandits with a single swing of her saber.
The sudden change in the situation caught everyone by surprise. But before anyone could react, Huang Yao had turned around and attacked the leader of the sky bandits alongside the security leader.
The next second cheers sounded from the caravan’s security team. At the same time, they could see that the morale of the bandits were dropping fast.
“Both the leader and the vice leader has died.” Someone from the rumbling bandits shouted. “Let’s run away.” But the next moment he was cut down by someone from the sky bandits.
“Don’t run you bastards. Stay here and fight.” The members of the sky bandits shouted.
“Are you crazy?” A member of the rumbling bandits shouted. “The situation is one against two in the core formation fight. It will end badly for us.”
Soon there was a brawl among the bandits, as the members of the sky and rumbling bandits started to fight each other. The caravan’s security was more than happy to simply stand back and watch them fight it out amongst each other.
Suddenly a change happened in the core formation battlefield. The leader of the sky bandits somehow threw off the other two and fled in an instant, without even giving a warning to his bandit group. After a moment both Huang Yao and the security leader chased after him.
Seeing this everyone was stunned. “Retreat.” Someone on the bandit’s side shouted. The next second they all turned and ran away. At the same time, they were chased by the security team.
In an instant peace returned to the field. A moment later all the members of the caravan shouted in celebration.
They had repelled the bandits.
