Two Yuan Tian Realm experts dead in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding bandits froze.
"Second Chief… dead…?!"
"The Boss too—!!"
Terror rippled through the ranks.
"Two down…" Lin Xuan muttered, turning his horse toward Chen Sanbao.
The bandits scattered in fear — none dared block him.
"D-don't come near me!" Chen Sanbao shrieked, eyes wild. "My horse! Where's my horse?!"
Spotting it, he scrambled on, lashing it desperately.
His prized Windchaser Horse was among the fastest in the region — if he could just get away, Lin Xuan couldn't catch him.
"Hyah!"
The horse bolted, wind slicing past. Within seconds, he'd broken free from the crowd.
"You'll never catch me, kid! My horse's faster! Just my bad luck today! I swear I'll never touch Lin Family business again!" he yelled back, voice cracking between panic and bravado.
Race me on horseback? How childish. Lin Xuan smirked. You think this is a wuxia world?
He stepped off his saddle, foot tapping his steed's head lightly as his body blurred into motion.
Eight Steps of the Cicada!
Even flying cicadas couldn't escape it ..... what chance did a horse have?
In a few breaths, Lin Xuan caught up.
His spear swept sideways, shattering the horse's legs. Chen Sanbao tumbled to the ground, screaming.
Lin Xuan pointed the spear at him and smiled faintly.
"Your horse is fast, but so what? Can it grow wings of Dou Qi? Heh… Without those, speed's meaningless."
Lin Xuan returned holding Chen Sanbao's head, the crowd staring in horror.
The bandits, now terrified, scattered into the surrounding forest.
They had arrived—and just as quickly, they had fled.
The process had been incredibly brief.
The Lin Family caravan was still in shock; some hadn't even drawn their swords in time.
The last bandit leader, Xiong Wei, seeing Lin Xuan approach, immediately dropped to his knees, too scared to run.
Chen Sanbao's fate had already shown him that fleeing was useless. In front of such a ruthless figure, even a four-legged horse was helpless, let alone his two legs.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
"I will submit to the Lin Family! Please spare my life!"
Xiong Wei lowered his weapon and kowtowed to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and the others swallowed nervously, watching Lin Xuan walk by.
In that fleeting moment, they once again looked at him with renewed admiration.
Bang!
Lin Xuan tossed Chen Sanbao's head in front of Xiong Wei.
"Why did all of you know that the Lin Family's caravan was entering the city today and rush here to rob us?"
Trembling, Xiong Wei explained, "I received a tip from the Xie Family. They said the Lin Family was transporting a large amount of Yang Yuan Stone, with only one Yuan Tian Realm expert leading the way. The Black Dragon Stronghold and Chen Sanbao would also intervene, so I thought I'd join the fun."
"I wasn't specifically targeting the Lin Family. In our line of work, opportunities are not missed."
"This time we failed. I'm willing to serve the Lin Family. Please spare my life."
"Don't you find it strange that the Xie Family didn't act themselves but sent the message to you instead?" Lin Xuan asked, scrutinizing him.
"Of course I considered that. I knew the Xie Family was using us. But the Yang Yuan Stone is real — who wouldn't be tempted? And they said only Lin Xiao would be leading, so I thought even if we got nothing, we could still escape. Who knew we'd encounter… you?"
Xiong Wei's expression was helpless. In his heart, he added, Who would have thought we'd meet such a maniac?
So young, yet he casually killed three Yuan Tian Realm experts. In Qingyang Town, or even all of Flame City, finding another like him would be near impossible.
Lin Xuan looked at the pleading bandit and had a sudden idea — he created a new mission.
[Mission: Recruit Xiong Wei. Reward: Bottle of Yang Yuan Pills]
"You're sensible. I won't kill you. Since you've chosen to submit, I'll have you do one thing."
The other three bandit leaders are dead. All the bandits here are leaderless. Go back, rally them, and take control of the Black Dragon Stronghold. Can you do it?"
Xiong Wei was stunned. A golden opportunity! He quickly nodded.
"Yes! Yes! I can!"
Lin Xuan smirked. "Good. Then go do it. I'll check back later — I hope everything will be handled by then."
"Yes!" Xiong Wei rose, ready to leave, but paused cautiously.
"May I ask your name, Lord?"
"Lin Xuan," he replied.
Xiong Wei bowed in respect and left.
In an instant, the road was calm again, littered only with the bodies of defeated bandits.
"Lin Xuan, now that Xiong Wei is willing to submit, aren't you afraid he might run?" Lin Xia asked curiously.
