[Phantom Mirage: Lost Shadow Steps!]
Zhao Wei unleashed the movement step he learned from the scroll.
"What in the world is this kid?"
"Are you even a human?"
"Fuck he's just passing through our bodies!"
"Everyone be careful!"
"Scatter and surround him!"
The leader shouted as he watched the bizarre scene in front of him.
These peak core formation experts struggled to lock-on Zhao Wei as a blur accompanied by a shadow passed through them.
He instinctively knew that bagging all of them is impossible so he's going in for their head. The confidence he emitted earlier is just a facade to cover up his weakness.
Unless he absorbed the qi in their bodies and convert it to his own to break through all way to peak Qi Condensation he will have the chance of winning.
Weighing both his cultivation foundation and life in his hands, Zhao Wei would pick the latter. He knows some ways to deal with the later backlash that will affect his foundation and future cultivation.
At the moment he's life comes first!
After all Core formation realm is two realms above his measly Qi Condensation realm which can be considered as baby steps in the world of cultivation.
The movement step that he's currently using does not use qi instead it uses the natural energy in the air and ground. So he's not worried about energy consumption but for his stamina. After all he just reincarnated and yet to train his current body.
He just reincarnated and his body isn't that strong compared to his body back in the immortal realm where he can do anything with it without worries for consequences or whatsoever.
The [Phantom Mirage: Lost Shadow Steps] allows him to pass through almost anything while at the same time giving him the speed comparable to that of a lightning strike!
He's constantly absorbing nature energy as he dashes through the enemies.
"So you're going in for me huh? You twerp!"
The leader of the bandits was enraged as he realised what was going on. Just who in the world is this kid who doesn't know what is good and bad for him?
A measly Qi Condensation ant dare to challenge him?
This kid must be dreaming!
As Zhao Wei's hand materialized half a meter from his chest he instinctively slashed down his longsword with all his might. He can already see the scene where this kid's hand splits in half.
He snorted inwardly as his longsword was only a few inches from Zhao Wei's hand.
*Puchi!*
Blood splattered as Zhao Wei's seemingly ghost hand ignore and pass through the long sword and plunge into the leader's chest.
"Absorb!" Zhao Wei whispered with a smile on his devilishly handsome face.
Shock followed by fear enveloped the leader as the pain in his chest manifested itself.
Regret filled the leader as his last qi was drained and sucked away by Zhao Wei.
In the next moment the dried body of the man fell knee first into the ground and Zhao Wei then pulled out his hand. The men surrounding him all shivered as they finally realized what just happened.
Dead without any resistance!
It's way too fast for any of them to react and intercept! Too fast!
Everyone single one of them now knows that this seemingly weak teen in front of them is anything but innocent and frail.
What frightened them is Zhao Wei's calmness and his eyes that looks like it knows and foresees anything.
'How come there is so many of them? Isn't it a bit of an overkill for someone who just reincarnated?'
'Did opening the scroll attracted these dimwits?'
Dammit!
Right now his cultivation is at the Peak stage of Qi Condensation thanks to the bountiful and rich qi of their leader. He then picked up the storage ring of the leader and his longsword.
"Everyone single one of you! Leave your storage rings here and scram!"
They would laugh at him if he said these words earlier but now no one's in for a joke. After seeing his demonic ways of advancing and killing they know they have to take this seriously.
"Hmph! So what if you killed him? There are still 69 of us here ready to take you on!"
"If you're thinking of using that skill of yours to deal with us again you better consider it again brat. Besides, I don't believe that you can use it continually without exhausting your qi!"
"Ever---"
The vice leader didn't get to finish his words as he was crushed into a meat paste. A small crater can be seen with blood puddles and chunks of meat and bones at it's centre where he was crushed.
The remaining 68 bandits then jump backwards from Zhao Wei as horror gripped their hearts.
Inwardly Zhao Wei was so elated about his new skill. The [Demonic Dragon Style: Monarch's Presence] it allows him to control the gravity as long as their 100 meters inside it's range.
The only downside is that it can only be used 2 times due to his low cultivation level and small amount of qi but in the future, it will pose no problem but for now he has to endure this.
He was worried inside as he was only using this to warn the rest about his power, hoping to insert doubts in their hearts and fear.
"I won't repeat myself."
The remaining bandits looked at one another before reluctantly throwing their storage rings to Zhao Wei in which he directly store in his storage ring.
A few from earlier still stubbornly held unto their storage rings only to be crushed into a meat paste together. With that, the rest willingly give him their rings. Life is far more precious than any materials because you only live once after all.
By now Zhao Wei's qi is recovering at a steady pace, using the [Demonic Dragon Style: Monarch's Presence] drained his entire qi. Zhao Wei is still standing tall and proud in front of these people through pure willpower despite being exhausted.
He knew that the moment they notice something off about him they would tear him apart into thousand pieces.
"NOW SCRAM BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
The bandits then began to jump and run to the tress, afraid that Zhao Wei May change his mind and kill them.
Zhao Wei then picked up the black cloak from the leaders dead body and wear it before heading to the opposite direction the running bandits took.
He then heard the sound of a flowing water and decided to follow the sound.
'There must be a river here...Bingo!'
He then began to walk towards the river to drink and clean himself. The last thing he wants now is beasts from the forest attacking him.
As he once again put on his cloak and tied up his hair into a ponytail as he drag himself under the shade of a tree and laid his back to the tree looking like a corpse.
The last thing he remembered is the sounds of footsteps along with the srunching sound of ground before darkness overcome his last piece of consciousness due to extreme exhaustion.
