The tavern had a very noisy atmosphere, lots of drinking and laughing, some even fighting. It was obvious that everyone was here in the evening to forget and get away from their hard lives. There were even some women who didn't mind the atmosphere and sat together with the men at the table, drinking and flirting. Kai slowly approached the counter where alcohol was being poured from large pitchers.
- Master, can you tell me where I can go in this city to try my luck, so to speak? - Hinting, Kai asked.
- You haven't even ordered anything from me and you're already asking questions. You definitely came here to insult me! - The scowling man said.
- Ha-ha, and that's right, brother, I'm sorry, it slipped my mind how I could have behaved like that! - Kai laughed and put 5 coins on the table.
- Can I have a small jug of wine, please! - Said Kai.
There were no laws in this world that forbade drinking at any age, especially since he already looked like an adult.
- Ooh, five coppers? I should buy you some good wine, little brother! - Saying that, the man turned around and took out a sealed jug of wine from under the counter. It was the size of a small watermelon.
- Brother let me treat you too, I'm going to need some help! Hahaha! - Laughing Kai started pouring for both of them.
- You sure know how to run a business, little brother! Hehehe. - Saying that, they both drained their glasses. It was the first time Kai had ever tasted alcohol, and he liked the strange sweet and sour taste that burned his throat a little.
- I could get used to it. - Laughing in the shower, Kai laughed.
Truthfully as a Cultivator, he only felt slightly dizzy for a few minutes. It was impossible for him to become intoxicated from such wine... His pure body and the energy within, would quickly process and neutralize the alcohol.
Continuing to drink, they almost drank the entire jug, the man's eyes were already starting to glisten.
- Brother, where can we play here? - Kai asked again.
- M...junior. Eeek! - hiccuped the man, -You see there is a turn around the corner, go there, and go down the stairs, you will have a lot of fun there! - Said the man laughing and patted Kai on the shoulder.
- Thank you big brother! You finish your drink and I'll go, my hands are already itching. Hehehe! - He laughed, and the man laughed back. Only he didn't know that they had completely different pictures on their minds right now!
Walking down the corridor, Kai almost came to the stairs down, but then three big guys came up from the stairs.
- Wait a minute! It costs ten coppers to get in here, if you don't have it, get the hell out of here! - Shouted the guy.
At this moment, black smoke started oozing out of Kai's eyes, but no one noticed it yet.
- Ho-ho-ho-ho, so I've come to the right place. - Kai smiled devilishly.
- Hey guys, long time no see! You should have killed me when you had the chance!
In a strange coincidence, these were the very scum who had carved up the orphanage. Dumbfoundedly looking at him, one of them frowned and immediately laughed.
- ''Xiangyu, it's that puppy that scratched you back then! Ahahahaha! You've already been poisoned by men for years for that, what a d...d...daaa... - Before he could finish, a line of blood appeared on his neck, and at that moment, his head fell to the ground before his body could react.
In one precise move, Kai blew off the head of this damage while releasing his murderous aura. The other two now turned their heads dumbfounded, and couldn't even shout out in fear, they were trembling like an autumn leaf in the wind.
- ''You don't even deserve me to smear my hands on you, let your heads wait for me here for a while.'' Coldly saying this, he simultaneously slashed the daggers in both hands while continuing down the stairs. And behind his back, two more heads rolled.
When Kai went downstairs, everyone quickly quieted down, for a murderous aura covered everyone, and many began to involuntarily shiver. At this moment, Kai was like a demon from hell. His aura now was similar to the one he emitted when he fought in Asura's Hell.
The members of the Ghost Halberd Gang quickly stood up and drew their weapons. Most of them were halberds or sabers, they immediately suspected that this was not going to end well.
Looking around, Kai immediately saw the leader of the gang, as he was also a Cultivator. He also noticed four Warriors who were probably his deputies, and there were 12 other bandits besides them.
- So that makes 17... Well then, today you will give your lives so that my relatives can rest in peace. - To himself, Kai muttered coldly, almost no one heard what he, said.
Kai thought that first, he should get rid of the Warriors, so they wouldn't get in the way.
- The Dance of the Shadow Marks! - Kai suddenly appeared beside the two Warriors and struck under their ribs, instantly puncturing their lungs and slightly hitting their hearts. But at that moment, two other blows flew into his back, sending him flying off. Kai knew this would happen, he wasn't at the level yet to instantly use Shadow Marks one after another.
Standing up, blood flowed from his back, he had expected this... Unfortunately for these bandits, Kai was well aware of his body's abilities, as he had fought to the death in Asura's Hell more than once. His stamina and defense were as good as his speed. He began to send energy into his wounds and they slowly stopped the bleeding. At that moment the gang leader came at him with his halberd, now glowing with blue fire sending a slash in his direction. Kai quickly ducked under the blow and swung the blade of his dagger along the shaft, displacing the halberd's strike.
The impact of the halberd hitting the ground caused an explosion and even the rocks melted slightly from the temperature of the fire! The battle with the Cultivator was no joke!
Kai ignored this blow, and rushed towards the two remaining Warriors.
- Hey, all of you! Let's pile on, he's only one! - At that moment, a bloodbath began.
Kai was constantly dodging and occasionally getting hit. Each such blow he shifted so that it didn't hit his lethal points and instantly stopped the bleeding with his energy. His eyes began to emit dense black smoke, suddenly his senses sharpened. He began to see all the gaps in the defense and the weaknesses of the warriors more clearly. Though Kai was mostly defensive, but when he had a chance to strike, each of his blows took one life.
After a while, all the other customers had already fled and no one dared to go downstairs, only the sounds of carnage could be heard upstairs in the tavern.
Kai kept turning his attention to the gang boss, for his punches were the hardest when he missed blows from him, even a touch burned his skin.
- Sun Rim! - Shouted the Boss and released an arc shaped fire that flew towards Kai.
Right now, the only people left in the room were the Boss, one Warrior, and two ordinary bandits who were shaking with fear. At this moment, Kai quickly caught one of them and threw it directly at the arc of fire while jumping towards the Warrior. At that moment, the bandit's body simply shattered into pieces and continued to burn on the ground.
The dazed Warrior didn't have time to react as at that moment, the blade passed through the back of his head and came out of his mouth.
Covered in blood with many wounds Kai breathed heavily and looked at the Boss, the latter was not in the best condition. The last bandit was just sitting on the ground in a puddle of urine, it seemed that he had already lost his mind, not to forget that all this carnage was happening under the constant pressure of Kai's murderous aura.
- Look kid, you've already beaten us up a lot, but if we continue, we'll both die! - Breathing heavily, the leader said.
- Really? - Kai smiled and disappeared from sight.
He needed at least an extra second to create a Shadow Seal behind the leader. And the idiot had given him that opportunity himself, with his talk.
The man didn't realize what had happened, but the next moment his right hand and the halberd flew off to the side. He was already holding on with his last strength, but when his arm was cut off, he collapsed to the ground.
- S...s..wait, at least tell me why I'm dead? - The ringleader asked with his last strength.
- Do you remember the destroyed village three years ago? Well, then you destroyed all my loved ones and they want revenge, is that reason enough? - Kai said calmly.
- 'Ha ha... What a ridiculous thing to say, bitch...' the man wheezed, 'I'm not afraid of death, and I know all my sins, but I'll drag another pig with me.' - The gang leader said angrily.
- Your village was destroyed by Lord Flick, and do you know why? - paused the leader, -Because when his carriage passed near this fucking village, one of the hungry blacks, stained the Lord's clothes.... When he asked him for alms, ha ha ghggha... - At that moment, Kai slit his throat. He then slowly picked up the halberd lying nearby and threw it at the head of the remaining bandit, who was shaking like a madman in a puddle of his own urine.
- I have finally avenged you! Your murderers are now in hell and you can rest in peace! - Breathing heavily, but with a kind of lightness in his soul, Kai said.
- And as for Lord Flick, I'll make it my personal business, you've waited long enough for vengeance.....
Finally, Kai's heart felt as if an incredible weight had been lifted from his heart, all he had cared about in the last years was avenging his loved ones and at last it was done! Now he is free to go to the outside world and test his destiny.
And the first stop will be Lord Flick's mansion! Such scum deserves to be the first step in raising the martial arts in his path. These corpses that were scattered at his feet, he couldn't even count as a stepping stone.
But right now, he needed to heal his wounds first.
When the sounds from the basement subsided, after a while, the kid came out of there under the dumbfounded stares of all the visitors. They were shocked as there were 4 heads in his hand, and one of them was the Leader of the Ghost Halberd Gang!
When he walked out of the tavern doors into the street, he simply disappeared... Perhaps after this night, a new legend will appear in the city, about who kills the villains....
After a while, on the ashes of the old asylum a man was sitting and meditating, with 4 heads lying on the ground near him... He was illuminated by the moon, which was very fascinating, he looked like a mysterious sage that did not belong to this world.
Kai had been healing his wounds here for a few days and finally standing up, he said:
- Rest in peace my brothers and sisters, Mother Superior Frida... - In his mind he remembered the face of each of his family members one last time.
- Don't worry about me, and don't expect me back soon. Hehehe! - Saying that, Kai ran forward and soon disappeared.
