"Too slow, sweetheart," Dark Owl said as he arrived in front of Shung Xu with the head of his hammer still covered with flaming colored QI.
"Captain was right. We are too weak," Shung Xu thought as she could only watch the red colored hammer smash down on her.
BOOM!!
Slamming on Shung Xu as he shot backwards, Dark Owl rolled for a few fts before coming to a stop.
Looking at his attacker, he was surprised at how young he was.
"I don't believe he's a middle-stage Qi birth realm cultivator when he looks younger than that lower-stage Qi birth girl I was about to kill," he thought as he stood up on his feet.
"You sure know how to hide. A middle-stage Qi birth realm cultivator running around in the skin of a low rank bandit group like this, how boring," Shung Yun said as he walked towards Dark Owl while dragging his battle-axe along.
"Being a king has its perks," Dark Owl said as he enveloped the head of his hammer with flaming colored Qi.
"A king of such a tiny kingdom has no right to continuing existing," Shung Yun said as he channeled half of his entire body strength to his legs, "neither does a kingdom this small."
Whoosh!!
Leaving cracks on the mountain plain he once stood as he arrived within three fts from Dark Owl, he swung his battle-axe horizontally at Dark Owl's waist.
Taken aback by the young soldier's speed. Dark Owl had no chance of countering the approaching battle-axe with his hammer.
Suppressing the increasing fear in his heart, he gambled on the sturdiness of his Qi without the direction of a technique.
Boom!
Exploding out of Dark Owl's body, the flaming Qi made a thunderous sound as it stopped Shung Yun's battle-axe attack.
Flung aside by the flaming Qi, Shung Yun's armor was scorched black from its original blue color, and the right side of his face was red from the heat of the flaming Qi.
"So unexpected," he groaned as he gradually stood up on his feet, "I don't think I can dodge such an attack at such a close range."
"You and every soldier present here will die and give back your life force to mother nature," Dark Owl said without moving from his position.
"You should move towards me to sound convincing," Shung Yun said as he stood steadily on his feet, "using such a huge amount of QI should have left you almost dry right now. I wonder if you were strong when you were a body tempering realm cultivator, because you really need to be for you to be able fight me."
Saying that, he once again dashed towards Dark Owl.
Strengthening his stance on the ground in order to buy enough time for his battle-axe to finish the job, he arrived three feet from Dark Owl with his battle-axe going for the kill.
Getting to experience Shung Yun's speed during their previous exchange, Dark Owl was prepared for his sudden appearance and therefore got his war hammer ready.
Boom!!
Retreating backwards after clashing with Shung Yun's battle-axe, Dark Owl felt his arms vibrating out of proportion.
"What does this guy even eat?" he thought as he used his remaining Qi to envelope his war hammer and his hands.
Not interested to waste time with Dark Owl, Shung Yun dashed towards him with his battle-axe carving fissures on the ground.
Arriving at an attacking range, he swung his battle-axe upwards towards Dark Owl's lower jaw.
Wussh!!
Making a wusshing sound as it cut through the air resistance on its way, the battle-axe opened a cut on Dark Owl's chin as it passed in front of his raised face.
Twisting his hand to the left in order to stop the upward movement of his battle-axe, Shung Yun twisted his hand once again to the left before bringing down his battle-axe on Dark Owl.
Taking advantage on how close he was to Shung Yun after his close dodge, Dark Owl sent his right leg flying towards Shung Yun's left ribs.
Bam!
Feeling a tight grip of his right leg just a few inches from Shung Yun's left ribs, Dark Owl could barely understand what was happening before a growing shadow covered his sight.
Bang!!
An explosive sound barely echoed round the battlefield as soldiers and bandits clashed against each other with the intention to kill the other party.
Getting blood splashed on his face after he opened up Dark Owl's skull, Shung Yun felt an itch on the back of his left palm.
"What is this?" removing the glove on his left palm, he muttered as he saw a drawing appearing on the back of his palm.
"It's a road," seeing the drawing gradually forming on the back of his left palm, he made out the image of a road.
"It must be the map to the opportunity Pride promised me," understanding the origin of the tattoo on the back of his palm, he quickly put on his glove.
Paying attention to the battlefield, he wasn't surprised that his soldiers had the upper hand.
"Remember the mission. Capture not less than three of them," leaving his soldiers on their own, Shung Yun walked towards the cave the bandits came out from.
"Look, it's a soldier!"
"We are saved!"
"Thanks be to Sovereign Zhung Xiu!"
The captured ladies in the cave all cried as they saw the armor Shung Yun was on.
"You should all wait quietly until some soldiers come to release you," he said as he walked deeper into the cave.
"They sure have a lot of stuff accumulated over time," seeing weapons, gold, and other mineral resources placed in a filled-up treasure chest, Shung Yun smiled at the rewards he and his soldiers would receive after they give it to the military, "I should recover my stamina before Shung Xu and the rest finish off the bandits."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he opened up the pores on his skin as he absorbed the Qi in the environment.
After eight minutes of recuperating, he felt something weird.
Searching through his memories [previously the old Shung Yun's memories], he got what he was looking for.
"I really did complete every stage in the body tempering realm, so, why do I still sense that something isn't right here?" although this was the first time he ever absorbed Qi after transmigrating, he still has the memories of the previous Shung Yun cultivating, "it feels like I can still strengthen my body, but every time I tried in the past or right now, I can't seem to be able to strengthen it."
"I should check that out later," standing up, he stretched his body before walking towards the treasure chest ready to drop a thing or two with every touch.
"Captain," Shung Kai saluted as he entered the carved-out treasure room, "we've taken care of the enemies."
"I would've love to congratulate you guys for your efforts, but even with two Qi birth realm cultivators, you guys still used a lot of time to fulfil the mission," Shung Yun said as he stood in front of the treasure chest, "help me lift this up."
Helping Shung Yun lift the treasure chest, Shung Kai kept a nonchalant expression on his face despite hearing what Shung Yun said.
Having two years of experience serving in the Special Operation Force of the People's Liberation Army, and over eight months as a security guard, Shung Yun has a keen perception of reading people.
"Why do you still care about me when I hardly paid attention to you for over a year now?" he asked Shung Kai as they moved the treasure chest dropping treasure pieces with every step they took.
"I have no idea," Shung Kai said without any change in his expression.
"A best friend who began keeping his distance after he became one of the geniuses in the clan, I wonder what you thought of me during that time and even now?" Shung Yun said as they walked out of the treasure room.
