"Shit, they already caught up to us!" Wang Lei exclaimed as he did not expect the other party to be so adept at tracking that they caught up to them so soon. A while later, a voice was heard behind their back.
"Stop running if you know what is good for you, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel to kids like you!" The voice sounded fierce as it resounded in both Shenyan and Wang Lei's ears, they both halted their steps right after seeing that the other party had already caught up to them.
Wang Lei slowing turned around before saying, "Fellow cultivator, don't make this hard for us, we're only going to the capital to register in the academy, why do you get in our way? Wang Lei spoke as politely as he could to the other party.
Hearing this, Mo Fan stared at him for a moment before bursting into laughter as he spoke, "Do I look like I care? What I do care about is that you have seen our faces hence, we cannot let you go," he paused for moment, before continuing, "Killing all of you, is the only way to prevent any future problems, you can only blame yourselves for being unlucky— then again that is only an excuse, hahaha!!" He burst into laughter after he finished speaking, causing a chill to run down Wang Lei's spine as he realized that the other party is hell bent on killing them all.
Wang Lei took a stance before saying, "Since you're unreasonable, then you leave me no choice but to fight you."
"Oh" Mo Fan was surprised for a moment before a sinister grin appeared on face shortly after before saying, "You have guts, I give you that, but do you think you alone is enough to deal with me and my comrades?"
Wang Lei only remained silent without refuting the other party's claim as he indeed cannot deal with all of them by himself. Noticing that the other party was not refuting his claim, the grin on Mo Fan's face became wider as he felt more confident in dealing with these two brats since only this little guy in front of him appears to be a cultivator.
"Since you know it yourself, why do you resist, why do you want to fight, it is pointless even if we fight, why don't you just let me kill you, hmm, I will make it quick, you won't even feel a thing." Mo Fan said with gentle smile on face which felt strange and gave a weird contrast considering he was basically thinking of killing them just now.
Seeing this expression, Wang Lei remains calm on the surface but was cursing inside. 'Who the fuck would want to be killed, why don't you let me kill you instead, I will make you feel comfortable under my fist.' Although he was thinking about these things, he would not dare to say them out loud.
Shenyan on the other hand placed the unconscious old coachman on the side, next a tree before proceeding to walk next to Wang Lei's side. Shortly after, Mo Fan's comrade caught up them.
"You shitty brats, how dare you run away?!" The moment he reached them, Mo Hei started cursing at Shenyan and Wang Lei.
The other members also had sinister expressions on their faces as they cannot wait to tear those kids apart for making them work extra for no reason.
A moment later, Mo Fan calmly spoke, "You see, you can't win so why don't you just give up and save yourself some pain later on?"
Hearing this, Wang Lei spoke, "Fine, since we can't win in numbers anyway, why don't we decide this with a duel instead?" he said before continuing, "if you win, you can do whatever you want with us but if I win, you let us go, what do you think?"
"Oh, a duel, you say." Mo Fan pondered for a moment before grinning and saying, "Alright, we shall settle this with a duel...right like you want." His voice sounded mysterious, almost like there is a hidden meaning in it.
"But Big brother—" Mo Hei wanted to refute his older brother's decision, but Mo Fan stopped him with a weird smile on face and Mo Hei instantly understood his intentions and he nodded his head right after.
…
A few moments later, both parties stood a few meters apart from each other. Shenyan and the remaining bandits stood on the same side with few meters between them.
Soon after, Mo Fan took out his weapon before saying, "Let's begin— wait, you don't have a weapon, are going to fight with your bare-hands?" Mo Fan then asked in surprise after realizing the opponent was not holding any weapon.
"That's right, I will use my fist." Wang Lei solemnly said. Causing Mo Fan to frown a little but he soon did not care anymore since the opponent wants to die that badly he will fulfill it for them.
"Is that so, then here I—" The moment he said that Mo Fan had already disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of Wang Lei before swinging his sword diagonally at him, "—come!"
"Swoosh"
The sound of a sword cutting through the wind resounded as it aimed at Wang Lei's chest. But before it reached Wang Lei, he side-stepped and twisted his body, dodging the sword and throwing his own punch.
"Rock Smashing Fist!"
Seeing that the other party dodged his sword, Mo Fan was momentarily surprise but he soon calms down as he dodged Wang Lei's punch by jumping backwards.
"Not bad." Mo Fan said before continuing, "It seems that I have to take this seriously" he said as he shot forward with his sword in his hand. Soon, they clashed again with both side either dodging or blocking.
"Bang, Swish, Swish, Bang"
This clashing sound went on for a few minutes, and as time went on, both Wang Lei and Mo Fan were exhausted after exchanging some few moves, and it seems that the conclusion of the fight will be decided soon. It was at this moment that a sound was head coming the direction of their fight.
"Uhghh!!"
Wang Lei had a pained expression on his face as he screamed in pain. He was slashed in the arm after trying to block the sword slash from Mo Fan. Mo Fan was excited after realizing that he had finally landed a critical hit on this brat— Wang Lei, so he did not stop and decided to keep the momentum—and he attacked again.
"Swish!"
However, contrary to his belief, Wang Lei was not hurt badly like it seemed, so as Mo Fan's sword approached him, suddenly, Wang Lei burst with all his full strength as he concentrated spirit energy into his fist and legs, dodging Mo Fan's attack and landing a powerful blow at his chest.
"Boom!!"
A loud sound resounded as Mo Fan held his chest screaming in pain while coughing some blood out of his mouth.
"Arghhh!! You shitty brat, how dare you!!"
Earlier, Wang Lei let Mo Fan hit him on purpose as he realized that he would not be able to land a blow on Mo Fan, and he was already reaching his limit, so he had to resort to this kind of trick.
"Kill that brat!!" Mo Fan shouted his order to his men and soon, they approach the direction of where Shenyan was standing.
"No—" Wang Lei screamed as he realized what was going on.
