Bandits

The bandit discovered the two of them immediately and asked them to follow after the other guys to lie on the ground so that they could rob them. 

 

How foolish are they? It's just like telling someone to give you his phone so that you can steal it. 

 

"Hey, are you guys acting on something? As you can see, I'm planning to go home. If you guys dare step on my path, I promise I'm going to crush you guys." Li Yan threatened with a fierce look in his eyes. 

 

The bandits are three in number; from their voices and the way they behaved, one will be able to tell their age, which is no more than 17; the strongest of them all is a level 4 qi disciple, and the weakest is a level 2.

 

"You guys better cooperate, and you will be able to go home safely; if you don't want to cooperate, then don't blame me for beating you guys." The strongest threatened as he licked the blade of his life. He was trying to act like a maniac, but they were just brainless. 

 

The one that licked the blade ended up letting out a moan of pain, and Mo Shen tried his best to hold the laughter in when the bastard took off his mask and started soaking it with his bleeding mouth. 

 

"Ignorant and foolish, you deserve to be taught a lesson." Li Yan controlled the air around his feet and rocketed forward. 

 

The leader saw his movement and immediately conjured up flame in his hands. He tossed it toward Li Yan, but Li Yan deflected the attack by causing the air to swirl faster around his body. 

 

The other two bandits grabbed their short blades and charged at Li Yan; Mo Shen was seen as someone not strong enough to fight them. 

 

If they could take down Li Yan, then it would be extremely easy to extort everything from Mo Shen. 

 

Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Yan, who has mastered his attribute to a certain level and is now able to use magic attacks beyond their imagination. 

 

He easily landed a punch on the level-two bandit; the other one had just stepped into the 3rd level and was surely weaker than him, so he used his wind attack to keep him on his knees. 

 

The strongest roared and charged toward him. Li Yan's eyes squinted as he watched the hand of the bandit that was holding the knife. 

 

Mo Shen was a few distances away from them; he went over to the weakest bandit and beat the hell out of him, then he took all his money as well as his knife. 

 

He waited for an opening, and one soon arrived. 

 

Li Yan was so focused on the battle with the bandit group leader that he forgot that he had one hostage held by his spell and that his essence was running low, so keeping the spell active while focusing on another battle was impossible. 

 

The bandit guy took it as an opening and ran with his blade in hand to stab Li Yan when Mo Shen suddenly arrived from behind and stabbed his back indiscriminately. 

 

The bandit let out a bloodcurdling scream as he fell on the ground half dead. The blood was rushing out of his body, and a small blood pool immediately formed around him. 

 

Li Yan heard the scream so well because the bandit was already close to stabbing him when Mo Shen intervened. 

 

At the moment, he felt gratified in his heart, and a sudden rush of power was triggered inside of him that gave him the chance to take care of his enemy without breaking down in sweat. 

 

The bandit leader fell to the ground, half dead and injured all around his body. Li Yan left the dude since he was in pain, but Mo Shen did not remove his eyes from the bastard, who soon grabbed something from his pocket that turned into a knife when he pressed a button. 

 

The bandit boss tossed the dagger toward Li Yan, who was several feet away. 

 

"Down!" Mo Shen yelled at Li Yan, who immediately crushed to the ground and managed to dodge the knife; however, he was a little bit slow, and the dagger tore some part of his clothes and inflicted a small injury on the side of his back. 

 

Mo Shen grabbed the knife in his hands tightly and stabbed the bandit leader in the heart. The cold blade inflicted pain on the bandit leader's body, and the light in his eyes disappeared. 

 

"Is it the heart of a demon in me or my experience in the game? I didn't even feel any emotion when they died; instead, something in my body reacted; it was quite painful, and then it turned warm, and I suddenly felt a little increase in my cultivation, and there was also a system prompt implicating that I have gained 0.1 essence." If what he was thinking was true, then it's possible to get powerful by beating or killing others. 

 

While he was thinking, the guys with their heads on the ground before stood up and dusted themselves off, then they looked in Mo Shen's direction with a demanding expression on their faces. 

 

Mo Shen slowly realized that they were looking at the small bag in which he kept all the low-grade crystals he extorted from the bandits. 

 

"You guys, you should be happy we came here to help you guys, and of course we did not do that for free. Also, I don't want you guys to see me as a stingy scholar—five low-grade crystals for all of you. If you don't want scram, how am I even sure you guys gave those bandits your cash in the first place?" Mo Shen scoffed. For some reason, he felt a tinge in his heart like an itch to kill all of them. 

 

"Thank you for saving us, but those are the dollars we have worked for throughout the day; you can't just take them and act like you own them just because you rescued us; in fact, you did not rescue us; he did." They pointed at Li Yan, who learned against the tree, his curious eyes watching Mo Shen, who suddenly transformed into someone different in his eyes. 

 

"Dad said his power core is different from ours, and his father was the first man to become a true demon. I can feel traces of demonic power in him when he killed those three."

 

Li Yan is powerful, but he has not killed anyone before. He also knew that killing fellow humans will bring a dreadful feeling to ones heart, but Mo Shen exhibited none of that.
