Chapter 1038 - Who Was the Scariest?

As the group of bandits fell to the ground, each member twitching and crying out various sicknesses, no one paid any more attention to Lan Xinyu. What kind of joke was this? Daring to rob others meant that they already lost their dignity as fighters. But they still dare to beg for their lives to be spared?

Lan Xinyu was completely speechless and disappointed ‘I want to train, I want to beat people up!’

“Forget it, let’s go. Anyway, with their strength, there’s no point in fighting.” Seeing how dejected Lan Xinyu looked, Ling Chuxi also felt a little helpless. She patted her shoulder and comforted her.

Lan Xinyu finally felt a little better with Ling Chuxi’s words. What she said made sense. These people were only at the realm of Great Fulfillment early stage. Even if they fought, they would be sent flying with a slap. It would have been better to fight with Su Xiu’er and the others for fun.

Ling Chuxi and the others ultimately continued their journey, leaving behind the group of bandits still convulsing and crying out.

Along the way, they encountered a few more groups of bandits. However, they were either so weak that even Lan Xinyu wasn’t interested in fighting, or they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy like the previous ones. In any case, Lan Xinyu and the others didn’t have much chance to gain experience.

“Are the bandits of the Qianzhong Ridge all so weak and shameless?” asked Lan Xinyu to Feng Zijin with a hint of depression and disdain.

Weak? Shameless? Feng Zijin wiped his sweat. These words seemed to have been directed at them too.

“Well, they can’t be considered bandits at all. They are civilians from the nearby towns, forced to rob because they had no other choice. Of course, they don’t have much strength. When we reach the inner area of the Qianzhong Ridge, you will naturally meet experts.” Feng Zijin explained with a bitter face.

“Alright, let’s move quickly,” said Lan Xinyu excitedly.

But the rest of the journey was not so peaceful. From time to time, a few so-called bandits would appear to seek trouble. Although they were not very strong, they were very annoying. It seemed that these people were actually civilians, not villains. So, Ling Chuxi did not want to seriously hurt them.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“My Lady, in my opinion, why don’t we just kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and show them what we’re capable of?” asked Gongxi Kuangdao impatiently.

“What’s your plan?” Ling Chuxi was a little annoyed by all the minor disturbances they had had to deal with. So Gongxi Kuangdao’s proposal intrigued her

“That’s easy. Just light them up, like lanterns. That’ll scare the others away,” said Gongxi Kuangdao calmly.

“Isn’t… that a little too cruel?” Ling Chuxi’s hair stood on end. How cruel to even think of lighting anyone up like lanterns.

Lan Xinyu and the others were also speechless. Just lighting a few lanterns? What if they didn’t? Should they be cut into pieces?

“If you think this is too cruel, then we can always be more merciful. Let’s capture a few people and drag them all the way by their shoulder blades. Let them wail in pain. Then, we’ll see who dares to bother us again,” said Gongxi Kuangdao with slight distress. Clearly, he felt that this method was too gentle. Totally not fitting of the Gongxi clan style at all!

Merciful? Was this what he meant by merciful? Lan Xinyu and the others’ started to look at Gongxi Kuangdao a little differently. Wasn’t what he proposed even crueller than his previous idea?

“My Lady, we’ll be reaching Shan Ling town in a few more miles. I don’t think there’s a need to go through so much trouble,” said Feng Zijin with a head full of cold sweat. Based on his personal experience with Gongxi Kuangdao, he knew that this fellow was really capable of doing such a thing. This guy was really too scary. He said all that so casually! But then again, Ling Chuxi was probably the scariest and most unfathomable. After all, she was able to subdue him.
