Chapter 586

(Unedited)

..

Strange does not equate to the scene that is happening in front of them. From their own perspective, they are seeing the stones and the trees moving roundabout which seem to form a path. Then their eyes saw a large number of bandits coming from the entrance entering the strange scene but it seems that those people saw nothing. The confusion in their eyes grew when they discovered that the bandits seem to be going the wrong path as the moving trees and rocks seem to be misleading them.

"Let's go.. you should not speak not say anything. If you do, those people will find us." Shin Jiao said in a low voice.

Hearing his words, the three just nodded their heads and followed behind Shin Jiao.

In a blink of an eye, the group traversed the dark forest while following Shin Jiao and reached the exit of the array formation.

However, as soon as they arrive in the tunnel, they saw two people standing in front of them. It was the man who led them in this village and the leader of the gang of bandits, Liaoxi Hu.

"Hehe.. See boss, I'm right, ain't I?" the man said with his expression suddenly morphing into something else.

Shin Jiao was a bit amazed at this person's ability to change his expressions. It was as if he would turn into a different person depending on his mood.

"Good work.. as I promised, the woman will be yours.." Liaoxi Hu said with a smirk on his face while looking at Shin Jiao's group.

"Hehe.. thank you, boss." The man said fawningly.

"I am truly amazed that you guys can come out of our secret maze. It seems that one of you has a talent in array formations. This is good.. this is good.. But I advise that you people should surrender now. You cannot go out of this place as it is already dark. Why not just stay here and.. live here.. Hehehe.."

Suddenly, Daixa Fengdi step forward and glared at the two men in front of her. She knew that the other three behind her are doctors and don't have any martial prowess. So it is she who will have to fight these two people.

But she is confident in herself as she has already been trained since young on fighting techniques. Plus, her strength is above average. One can say that she has the strength of a beast. This is why she is a cultivator now able to enter the inner sect disciple ranks.

"I advise you two to stand down or else.." she warned while taking out her whip.

"Haha.. little girl, you really didn't want to give me face, do you. I am offering you four a place to stay and yet you deny it.. what a waste of my good and kind gesture." Liaoxi Hu said with a grin.

But deep in his eyes, he is burning to fight the young woman. It is said that martial cultivators are strong; hence he could not wait to fit his own strength against a martial cultivator.

With a strong determination, he suddenly launches forward without a word.

"Careful!" shouted the two young men beside Shin Jiao.

With a swing of his large sword, a sound was produced as it broke through the air. This only signifies his pure brute strength.

"What a strong guy.. he can exert such strength using his muscles only." Shin Jiao thought.

But as the blade passes through the air, it missed its target. Daixa Fengdi moved in a flash not visible to a normal naked eye. She didn't use her whip and just casually punched towards Liaoxi Hun's stomach.

Clang! Crack!

The sound of metal breaking reverberated through the air as the figure of Liaoxi Hun staggered a few steps back.

With a dumbfounded look on his face, he looks at the young woman who is still in a punching position.

Daixa Fengdi suddenly stood straight with one hand on the back and looks at the bandit leader with a sneer.

However, deep in her heart, she is controlling herself in showing a pained expression. When she punches towards the bandit leader, she used around 50% of her strength. But it seems that underneath that thick fur armor lays a metallic plate. And her pretty hands ached upon hitting them.

It was her fault for underestimating the opponent and didn't use her martial cultivation.

"What a strong woman!" Liaoxi Hu said as he took off the already shattered iron plate.

"I will fight you seriously this time." He said as he takes a stance.

Daixa Fengdi didn' change her position but just looks at the bandit leader like he is some lowly creature in front of her eyes.

Then Liaoxi Hu once again launches an attack. This time, he launches a barrage of attacks not wanted for his enemy to take a breather.

However, no matter how many strikes he sent, the young woman would easily dodge them as if she can see his attacks beforehand. This made Liaoxi Hu feel a bit frantic and annoyed.

This time, he didn't want to take it easy and went all out.historical

He suddenly grabs a small bag on his waist amid his flurry of attacks and suddenly threw it towards Daixa Fengdi.

She was a bit taken aback but decided to make a move. With a swing of her whip, she strikes the small bag wanting to send it away flying. However, as soon as her whip touches the bag, a loud explosion happened.

Ka-Boom!

Daixa Fengdi was taken aback and was thrown a few meters back from the explosion. She felt her vision turning a bit blurry and her body feeling numb all over. All she can sense is her figure flying in the air. Then before she landed on the ground, she passed out.

"Haha.. That really worked!" Liaoxi Hu said as he laughed in jubilation.

Nobody knew how it happened, but as soon as the smoke clears Liaxi Hu and the man standing not far behind from him saw two people unconscious on the ground and a single person carrying the figure of the young woman in his arms.

They saw the young doctor Ji who seems to be so cowardly slowly walking towards the two young doctors lying on the ground and carefully put the young woman beside them.

"I think it's time to end this..?? they heard the young cowardly doctor said.

Thinking that the young man is about to surrender, the two looks at each other and sneered. They seem to understand that the young man might be feeling helpless and wanted to bargain for the lives of his companions. However, they didn't notice the gleaming look on the eyes of the young man while looking at some of the pouch hanging on the bandit boss's belt.

No one saw what happened except for Shin Jiao. He saw what the bandit boss did. That pouch is like a grenade but without shrapnel inside. Although it looks simple, the explosion can cause harm to people. He wanted to help Daixa Fengdi at that time but realized that her life would not be in any danger. So he just catches her.

"Well.. let's go back and become my underling, what do you say, Doctor Qiong Ji?" Liaoxi Hu said with a grin.

But before he can say anything, he saw the figure of Shin Jiao suddenly turned into a blur.

Then he felt something holding his neck as he found his feet also not standing on flat ground. The movement was too fast, that he could not even react.

"You.. you're a grandmaster.. a grandmaster martial cultivator.. how? How is this possible? You're a monster.. a devil.." Liaoxi Hu said in fear while trying to grasp his breath.

"You don't have to know anything.. you just need to know that since you have offended me, you have no path in living." Shin Jiao said and suddenly gave a pressure and a loud crack was heard.

He then tossed the corpse of the bandit boss on the side and strode towards the man.

"No.. no.. no.. please spare my life.. I.. I will give you everything we have in the village." The man suddenly said in fear as his knees buckled and his figure fell on his butt.

How could he not be afraid of the young man? He knew of the legend. There are those people who hold strength greater than any man. They are the martial grandmasters and some even called them devils, or gods.

And this young man who has been hiding his true strength can be considered as a devil, a devil hiding amidst the people.

"Hmph! Lead us to Huaxing village and I might spare you." Shin Jiao just said.

"Yes, yes senior.." the man said as he kowtowed.

However, he suddenly felt his neck being held and a strange thing enters his mouth.

"Kak, kak!" the man coughs as if trying to expel the thing that entered his throat.

"You can't vomit that thing. I gave you a poison.. if you obey my command, then I might give you the antidote." Shin Jiao said as he walked towards the three and began carrying them like nothing.

"Lead the way.. now!"

The man heard his words and was shaken. He suddenly walked towards the carriage without saying anything and immediately drove it out of the area.

After an hour they soon arrive in a village. This time, Shin Jiao is the one driving the carriage as he approached the checkpoint.

Since it is already almost in the middle of the night, the soldiers were all alerted upon seeing an approaching carriage.

"Halt! Who goes there!" shouted a soldier as he approaches the carriage while holding his spear at the ready.

Shin Jiao raised his hand and showed the palm-size plaque in his hand. It was his identification as a doctor.

When the soldier saw the plaque he was a bit taken aback. Who didn't know the name Qiong Ji in the Yun Ji city? Even in the next city, this name has already reached its fame. Hence the guard is dumbfounded that such a prestigious name would come to this lowly village and help them.

The guard just showed a respectful bow towards Shin Jiao.

"Doctor Ji, please come with me.. I think our captain would want to meet you." The guard quickly decided.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head.

"Please don't disturb my companions.. they are tired from traveling and is currently asleep inside the carriage.." Shin Jiao said as he followed the guard on foot.
