Transmigrated in a xianxia novel - 55 The Bandits' hideout part 1

There was no Demonic Beast in the Relentless Mountain. There were only normal savage beasts a little stronger than those on Earth due to their permanent exposure to the spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

A few minutes later, Li Jing finally found the camp and saw three men sitting around a campfire cooking a rabbit.

He didn’t need to lose time asking them who they were. He just used his Instant Flash Step to appear in the middle of the three men and instantly killed with one punch on their head, strong enough to make it explode.

[Host has killed 3 cultivators in the Qi Gathering realm: XP + 450.]

[Host has absorbed the soul of 3 cultivators in the Qi Gathering realm: Strength + 15 Jin, Soul Strength + 15.]

After Li Jing absorbed their souls, he shook his head in disappointment. Unfortunately, just like the man from the last night, these three were just weakling who didn’t know the location of the hideout.

‘Shit, these bandits are so useless…’ He thought.

He continued to walk towards the north in search of other bandits but he realized that at this rate, he would never be able to find their hideout before nightfall…

Thankfully, he suddenly had an ingenious idea: rather than looking for bandits, they would be the ones who would go to him!

He took a deep breath and yelled as loud as he could:

“Hey, stupid bandits, there is an intruder in your territory!” His voice resounded over five hundred meters!

Even if more than one hundred bandits attacked him at the same time, they would still have no chance of hurting him so he didn’t need to be cautious.

After a few minutes, four bandits arrived at Li Jing’s location and surrounded him.

“Is he the one who yelled? He’s just a kid, hahah!” Said one of the bandits.

“Are you lost, kid? Do you need our help? Hahaha!”

When the four men heard someone shout, they actually slightly panicked. Who would be crazy enough to announce their presence in the territory of the Black Tiger? No one, excepted if it was someone very powerful. However, when they saw that it was just a kid, they relaxed and made fun of him.

“What, only four of you? I’m very disappointed…” Said Li Jing, shaking his head. He expected at least a dozen of them.

Without hesitation, Li Jing instantly killed them with his daggers. The four men didn’t even have time to react or to understand what happened to them. They were only in the second and third levels of the Qi Gathering realm so their speed was far lower than Li Jing’s speed.

[Host has killed 4 cultivators in the Qi Gathering realm: XP + 600.]

[Host has absorbed the soul of 4 cultivators in the Qi Gathering realm: Strength + 20 Jin, Soul Strength + 20.]

He immediately absorbed their souls after killing them. The first three men’s memories were useless and Li Jing had no hope concerning the fourth. But luckily, this man was actually friends with one of the captains of the Black Tiger and knew where to find his camp. He even knew a Martial Technique!

[Host has learned a new Martial technique: Shield of the Four Truths.]

It was a defensive High-grade Mortal Martial technique that the captain he knew stole from a group of monks a couple of years ago. He gifted it to this man because they were childhood friends and joined the bandit group at the same time. However, this man had only an E-grade talent so he was doomed to stay a low bandit all his life.

Li Jing realized thanks to his high comprehension that the man didn’t entirely understand this Martial technique. Trained to the Large Success Stage, this technique was supposed to be able to block Sky-grade Martial techniques but this man didn’t even reach the Low Success Stage and thought that it could only block physical attacks…

After he finished analyzing the memories of the man, Li Jing search the four men and found some weapons, Spirit Stones, Qi Gathering Pills, and the manual of the technique Shield of the Four Truths. Then, he started to walk towards the camp of the captain located in the northeast part of this forest. Surely, this captain would know where to find the path leading to their hideout.

It took him half an hour to reach the camp. On the way, he only met some wolf that attacked him. Unfortunately, killing these ‘normal’ beasts didn’t give him any Experience Point…

The captain’s camp consisted of eight tents surrounded by a barricade. The surrounding trees had been cut and there was an observation tower with a man at its top.

“Intruder!” Yelled the man at the top of the observation tower.

Li Jing didn’t even bother to hide that was why he was so easily spotted. He entered the camp directly by destroying a part of the barricade that blocked his path with a powerful punch.

All the bandits in the camps were alerted, including the captain, and left their tents to see who dared to come here.

“It’s just a kid, take care of him!” Ordered the captain to the seven men around him. He was a man with a scar under his right eye and a bushy black beard.

“Yes, Captain Ming!” Said the men in unison.

Seeing the seven men rushing towards him, Li Jing gathered Lightning Qi in his throat. He planned to kill them all in one go with his bloodline skill Heavenly Thunder Breath.

Rumble!

The ground shook and a loud thunder sound echoed as Li Jing release a wave of lightning from his mouth. Upon contact with the lightning wave, the seven men immediately turned into ashes. None of them had time to dodge or to defend themselves!

[Host has killed 7 cultivators in the Qi Gathering realm: XP + 1050.]

Although they were nothing more than ashes, the soul of the seven men still flew towards Li Jing who decided to absorb them after he took care of the captain.

Seeing his subordinates’ state, the captain was first dumbfounded and then completely scared. Even with his strength of a cultivator in the seventh level of the Qi Gathering realm, he couldn’t do something like that. It meant that this young boy was far more powerful than him!

What kind of monster was this boy? This thought made his whole body shook in fear and he fell to his knees in front of Li Jing.

“P-p-please spare me… What do you want? Spirit Stones? Information? I will give you and tell you everything!” He begged.

Li Jing walked towards the man with a determined expression…
