Few young people exquisitely dressed were hiding behind a large tree. They cautiously observed the scene as how Li Shenrong fought the bandits.
"Did you see? How he killed those ape beasts? I think all of them were over a hundred and fifty year old." A young man spoke, amazed.
"Yes! He is pretty strong. But now he is surrounded by twenty ape beast king. I don't think he can make it. Those hundred year old apes aren't comparable to a beast king at all." Another one said as he observed.
"Those bandits are despicable. Senior sister! Why don't we help him?" A young girl among them said in frustration as she looked at the white clothed girl.
"No way, senior sister Mu! We shouldn't." A young man interjected immediately.
The girl named senior sister Mu frowned as she kept observing the battle secretly.
"What do you think grandpa Wang?" She asked for opinion from the coarse clothed old man beside her.
The coarse clothed old man looked very dignified as he spoke in a deep voice. "Young miss, those bandits aren't simple. It might be very troublesome if we get involved."
"Even for you grandpa Wang? Do you know those bandit's origin?" She felt surprised by the fact that even the mighty grandpa Wang would say such a thing.
He was the most trusted aide of her father and the strongest elder in her family.
"I know a few things about them. Their leader is called Chu Hao. It is said that he inherited a Saint's legacy, beast tamer Peng Da. Hundred years ago beast tamer Peng Da's name shook the eastern continent. He was extremely evil, committed many heinous crimes and destroyed few sects with his genius beast taming method.
With a lower cultivation level he was able to tame a higher level beast.
At that time he offended many powerful sects and was eventually hunted down. He died but his legacy was obtained by Chu Hao a rogue cultivator. Chu Hao cultivated Saint Peng Da's beast taming method and recruited many bandits under him. He became the leader of Redhand bandit gang.
They occupied the largest land of this area and would rob caravans." Grandpa Wang gave a simple explanation to the youngsters beside him.
"If that's the case, why no sects or kingdom took action to eliminate them? Isn't this region belongs to Blue bird Kingdom?" Senior sister Mu said with a frown.
"Young miss, your thinkings are too simple. Do you think no sect or kingdom took action? They did but the Redhand bandits are too cunning. They would go into hiding whenever they faced slightly stronger opponent.
Few years ago the Zhu family had sent a Heaven congregation realm expert to hunt down the Redhand bandits but no avail. Redhand bandits hid themselves and never came out until the Zhu family's experts left.
Also some even suspected that the Blue bird kingdom is in cahoots with the Redhand bandits." Grandpa Wang explained patiently.
"No wonder! So the Blue bird kingdom is so vile as to collude with bandits." Senior sister Mu snorted coldly. "Grandpa Wang, we can't just let him die right? I want to help him." She suddenly said in a pleading tone.
"Senior sister! I don't think that's appropriate…" A young man voiced out his thoughts but Senior sister Mu completely ignored him.
Facing her pleading gaze, grandpa Wang sighed as he said. "Fine, i will lend him a hand at a critical moment and create a chance for him to escape. But for now let's see how the battle goes."
"I knew grandpa Wang is the best." Senior sister Mu instantly smiled.
Li Shenrong was fighting with the ape king. His battle tactic was maniacal, very direct and brute. He didn't use any techniques or special movements and fought like a mortal martial warrior.
Boom boom sound rang in the air as he collided against the ape king. Ground shook and dust scattered, the ape king was suddenly sent flying. Li Shenrong's sleeves were torn but his clothes remained spotless.
The ape king's huge body crashed against a giant tree and fell unconscious.
Everyone stood there agap as if seeing a ghost.
What kind of logic is this? An ape king was defeated in direct confrontation and had been sent flying. And it was done by a young man with spirit accumulation realm cultivation. The bandits couldn't believe their eyes.
The bandit who was controlling the ape king willed but there was no response from the beast. He awkwardly looked at the leader and wanted to say something but met with a cold glare.
"Young master is amazing. I wonder which family or nation young master is from?" The bandit leader spoke with half smiling face.
At this point he didn't want to fight. Realising that he couldn't beat Li Shenrong without taking some big losses and he was somewhat afraid of Li Shenrong's backing.
"You talk too much nonsense. Use all your methods and after that i'll send you all off." Li Shenrong said in a dismissive tone.
"Young people are too arrogant." Hiding not too faraway, Grandpa Wang said while shaking his head.
Hearing Li Shenrong's contemptuous words the bandit leader frowned even more. He was in a dilemma, whether to kill Li Shenrong regardless of the loss and consequences or bear the humiliation and run away.
"Fine, have it your way. Don't blame me for not showing mercy." Finally he decided and spoke in a cruel tone.
"Boss! How about we catch him alive? I want to play with him for few days. His skin must be soft and smooth." A burly looking bandit jumped out as he spoke and licked his lips while looking at Li Shenrong lustfully.
Li Shenrong's gaze turned cold instantly. His deep black eyes fell on the burly looking bandit.
The burly bandit felt he was in a quagmire, a great terror suddenly striked his heart and assaulted his soul.
His knees buckled and fell to the ground with a plop sound. He was sweating profusely as he looked at Li Shenrong with eyes full of fear.
"MONSTER! MONSTER! RUN EVERYONE! AHHHH!" The burly bandit suddenly started screaming while holding his head. White foam gushed out from his mouth, his shrill scream echoed loudly.
The bandit leader Chu Hao touched the burly bandit's forehead and inserted Qi energy to check his condition.
What! His soul became damaged and shocked. A technique that can attack a person's soul? I need to be careful about this move. The bandit leader retracted his hand as he thought.
"Kill him." He ordered.
"KILL!KILL!" All the bandits roared in unison as they willed their puppet beast kings to attack Li Shenrong.
