Bandits

Unfortunately, even though Ye Chen sent a lot of mana into the three objects, his efforts were still in vain. It was like a bottomless pit that would suck his mana dry, but the three objects did not experience any reaction.

For the umpteenth time, Ye Chen could only give up and practice, but not practice like before, but practice punching, kicking and basic fighting techniques by himself. Apart from the fact that he had no fighting formula and no sword or other weapons to practice with, he could only randomly punch and kick trees in the forest.

Even though Ye Chen currently knew that he could kill ordinary humans easily, his goal was not in the secular world, but rather the world of cultivation that he did not understand in the future.

Even though he was now at first level of qi refinement, that was the lowest cultivation level in the cultivation world. Many people and things could kill him easily.

For a cautious person like Ye Chen, he knew that he was nothing, so he didn't leave the forest immediately. He began training in the forest that he had made his domain for some time.

His original plan was at most two months until he broke through to the second level of qi refining, but plans never matched reality.

At this moment, a year later, Ye Chen who had trained to the point of not knowing the outside world finally knew that his luck had truly run out.

He had finished eating the remaining two strange fruits half a year ago, but they could no longer have the effect they had at the beginning. Even the last fruit had absolutely no effect in training. Apart from that, the tree also no longer showed any signs of bearing fruit during the year of waiting.

Ye Chen had also tried many times going around the forest to look for other magical fruits, but he had to be disappointed again and again. Worse, he was still at the first level of qi training.

Fortunately, despite not having a breakthrough for a year, Ye Chen knew that he was not far away. And his combat training got better, even if it was just kicking and punching. Besides, his punch that could instantly knock down a tree the size of an adult man's thigh gave him a little confidence that he had a punching power of over 1000 kilograms.

But Ye Chen really couldn't stand it when the three items he had gotten at the beginning he really couldn't use. In the end, Ye Chen who didn't know how to cultivate properly could only choose to go to Dayun village in despair.

At this moment, Ye Chen, who was walking on the snow right by the frozen river, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Looking far ahead, his sharp hearing and eyesight vaguely discovered that there was something in front of him.

"Are there humans?"

Ye Chen, who had not encountered any living creatures other than a few wild beasts, felt a little happy and began to increase his speed.

Along the way, Ye Chen confirmed his guess, because he found that there were wheel marks that were still not covered by a layer of snow. However, when he reached where the human was, the smell of blood and the sight of the battle made him speechless.

Fifty meters in front of him, Ye Chen did find humans other than himself, more precisely there were two groups of horse-drawn carriages with frightened screams and sounds of fighting.

From inside the horse carriage, Ye Chen saw that it contained small children who were not even fifteen years old who were shaking with fear and crying. While on the other side, three adult men, injured, angry and helpless in the cold and full of blood, were surrounded by more than a dozen men.

"Bandits!" The spontaneous words that came out of Ye Chen's mouth suddenly reminded him of the incident in Siqing village, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.

"Stop!" With a shout, Ye Chen's figure shot forward at a speed beyond normal human limits.

At the same time, when a group of bandits were preparing to finish off three defenseless people, they suddenly stopped when they heard Ye Chen's scream.

A dozen people including three others turned towards Ye Chen, and when they saw his figure arrive and was no more than a boy less than 17 years old, the bandits immediately frowned.

Looking at Ye Chen up and down, someone among the bandits with a machete in his hand immediately snorted. "Kid, do you want to die?"

None of the bandits thought Ye Chen was anyone special, apart from being too young and wearing dull clothes, the bandits only thought that Ye Chen was a hero who overslept.

Ye Chen did the same thing, he also didn't pay attention to the bandit who was talking to him. He only checked three people who were injured and at the same time saw about five people lying in the snow.

"Did you do it?" Ye Chen suddenly asked coldly, and anger began to fill his heart.

The bandits were suddenly stunned when they heard Ye Chen's question, but it was only a moment before the bandit with a machete that was still dripping with blood, looked strong with a burly body grinned at Ye Chen.

"Kid, are you deaf? Do you think that you can just come ask a question and someone will answer it? I don't know where you come from, but considering that you are still a child, don't do anything, otherwise..."the bandit with the machete and the others suddenly laughed horribly at Ye Chen.

If a person of the same age as Ye Chen saw the grins and ferocious expressions of those twelve bandits while holding impervious weapons in his hands, he would definitely immediately be frightened and tremble.

But, who is Ye Chen?

He didn't care at all and just looked at the bandit who spoke at the beginning, and still asked, "Did you guys do it?"

"If it was me who did it, so what?" The bandit with the machete grinned, then raised his machete towards his mouth, and the terrifying sight of his tongue licking blood on cold iron was visible.

"Young man, run!" One of the three injured people shouted at Ye Chen.

After all, he didn't know Ye Chen, but he knew these cruel bandits and knew that they were extremely cruel and unforgiving. Considering Ye Chen's young age, he didn't think that Ye Chen could save him.

Ye Chen of course knew what the three people were thinking, but he didn't bother to answer or turn around, and just said to the bandit who was licking his saber, "Since you've admitted it, then I don't need to hesitate."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

...

Immediately the bandits burst into laughter and felt very funny about Ye Chen's words, but it was only a moment before a muffled sound was heard, and the figure of the bandit who was still licking his machete was seen falling to the ground with a hole in his chest, no longer moving.

Everyone looked frozen and didn't know what killed him. Ye Chen, who did it naturally would not explain or wait for the bandits' reaction and once again made his move.

Even though with only his first level of qi training currently, killing bandits who were still mortals like them was truly a trivial matter.

It didn't take long, only about ten breaths, half of the dozen bandits who were previously still laughing started to fall on the ground, and no longer moved or died anymore.

"Run!"
