Double Cultivation
bloodshed
Several minutes had passed since Su Yang made his first move, and over a hundred bandits had perished from the sword in his grasp.
"Oahhhh! "
"How could anyone be this rough and strong ?! This man is not human!"
"The monster! Must be an old monster in disguise!"
The bandits' hideouts echoed with a shout filled with horror by the bandits as Su Yang slaughtered them easily.
Be it metal shields or defense techniques, a single sword attack from Su Yang would cut them like a butter-cutting knife, before killing the bandits behind their barrier.
Moreover, because Su Yang used the Nine Astral Steps, the bandits felt as if they were fighting a ghost, as most of them were unable to even see its shadow.
Even if they were lucky enough to see Su Yang's shadow, he would kill them before they could even react.
The smell of blood in the bandit hideout strengthened drastically in just a few minutes, as the entire place was filled with corpses and covered in blood.
Moreover, as the majority of these bandits were in the Basic Spirit Realm and the Profound Spirit Realm, they had difficulty breathing due to the cultivation base of the Su Yang Heavenly Realm that was suffocating them, weakening their defenses even more.
There were also some True Spirit Realm cultivators, even some in the Earth Spirit Realm mixed in bandits, but unfortunately, in front of Su Yang, who was in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the few in the Earth Spirit Realm were mixed in, but unfortunately, in front of Su Yang, who was in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, they are all easily crushed like ants.
"Spread! He can't catch us all!"
The bandits started running towards the exit as a last resort, but unfortunately, there was only one way out, and Su Yang would kill them before any of them could get close.
The Red Mountain Bandits were quickly reduced in number, and within half an hour, their number of thousands had been reduced to only a few dozen.
"To-please! Have pity! What have we done to offend you that deserves all this?!"
The remaining bandits dropped their weapons and knelt down, begging Su Yang to save their lives.
Su Yang took a break from the massacre for the first time since he started and spoke, "How many innocent victims say exactly the same words to you, bandits, bandits, before you turn their lives into the worst? "
"… " The bandits soon fell silent.
"I'm not a hero, nor am I planning to be a hero. I'm not doing this for revenge, nor am I offended by you scum."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "In other words, I am doing this only to my own satisfaction! "
"T-No way .." The bandits looked at Su Yang as if they were looking at a demon.
After robbing and killing countless innocent people over the years, these bandits had long forgotten feelings of despair and fear, especially when they were unrivalled in this area. But after meeting Su Yang today, they finally recalled such feelings.
"T-T-Wait! Let's talk about this—"
A heavenly profound Qi suddenly exploded from Su Yang's body, and with a single sword technique, hundreds of sword lightnings were ejected from that sword, cutting the remaining bandits into many pieces in the blink of an eye.
"… "
The hideouts of the bandits soon became silent.
Su Yang looked at the blood-soaked ground, then his body that did not have a drop of bloodstains despite being showered with blood.
"It's been a long time since I took so many lives in such a short time .." he sighed inwardly.
Although Su Yang's actions today might seem brutal and unnecessary, this kind of slaughter happened almost every day in the cultivation world, sometimes on a much larger scale, he said, and usually innocents were slaughtered, not bandits who did nothing but harm both the mortal world and cultivation.
In fact, even though he had killed so many people, Su Yang did not even feel the slightest pity or regret at this moment.
Perhaps he pitied those who were innocent and deprived of lives by these bandits, but had emotions for these bandits, none for Su Yang.
After standing for a while, Su Yang started to roam around in this bandit hideout.
Although it seemed unimpressive from the outside, the actual size of this hideout could be similar to a palace for a king but it was built underground, hence how it could accommodate a thousand bandits at once.
There were over five floors that descended down and a hundred rooms, but the most impressive part about this hideaway was that it was clearly handmade.
However, whether it was the work of bandits or the work of those arrested is unknown.
After walking for a while, Su Yang stopped in front of one of the rooms on the second floor and opened it.
As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted with a cruel scene that would even make the heart of a heartless man tremble.
Inside this room, there were many women chained to the wall, and none of them were wearing clothes.
What's more, most of these women's bodies are bruised and thin and clearly malnourished. Their eyes were dim light, almost like soulless puppets, but even such puppets had more emotion in their facial expressions than the people in this room, he said, something they don't have at all.
One could easily guess the purpose of this room and why this woman was here at a glance, but it only made this place even more sickening.
When Su Yang saw the state of these women and their expressionless faces, even though he did not know them, his heart was filled with anger.
"I shouldn't have killed them so quickly .." he sighed inwardly, slightly regretting his decision not to torture the bandits before killing them quickly.
