Chapter 16

"Killed them all? Don't joke around."

"How could several hundred bandits be killed so quickly?"

"Are you a warrior?"

The many prisoners in the cell, upon hearing Jiang Pingan's words, did not quite believe him.

It had only been a short while, and several hundred bandits were not like several hundred radishes that could be easily killed.

Perhaps because they saw Jiang Pingan as too young, they did not believe his words.

Jiang Pingan did not want to waste time. The bearded monk had left at some point, and it would be dangerous if he returned.

His pupils scanned the lock on the cell door, and the lock broke and fell.

After doing this, he ignored these people, stepped over the corpses, and left.

The people in the cell looked at each other, and after waiting for a while without seeing any bandits, they dared to come out.

When they left the cell and saw the ground covered with bandit corpses, their hearts pounded.

That young man had actually killed all several hundred bandits!

This... How is this possible?

Although they could not believe it, the fact was right before their eyes. In a short time, that young man had killed several hundred bandits!

"Wah, I can go home, I can go home!"

"Those damn bandits, they deserve to be cut into pieces!"

"Thank you, kind sir!"

Many people were moved to tears, kneeling and kowtowing in the direction Jiang Pingan had left.

If it weren't for that young man, they might never have been able to leave this place. He was their savior.

Jiang Pingan did not leave directly but went to a spacious and large room.

The room was decorated in an ancient style, not as smelly and messy as the other bandits' rooms, but rather had a medicinal scent.

Jiang Pingan guessed this was the bearded monk's room.

On the table in the room, Jiang Pingan saw a green jade pendant.

This jade pendant was his amulet.

Two had been taken, and only one was left here.

Next to the amulet, there was a book, several yellow papers, and a brush dipped in ink.

Jiang Pingan was about to take the amulet and leave, but he noticed strange patterns on the papers, and he looked at them curiously.

These patterns were very similar to the internal structure of the amulet.

Jiang Pingan's gaze fell on the book next to it, "Comprehensive Guide to Runes."

"Runes? What are they? Could the amulet be related to these runes?"

Jiang Pingan did not understand runes.

He found that many of the strange patterns in the book were very similar to the runes on the jade pendant and the patterns on the flags.

Although he did not understand, he felt it must be something good, so he took it.

This bearded monk had made him suffer so much, almost driving him to suicide. When he became stronger, he would definitely kill the monk.

Under the influence of the blood-red eye, Jiang Pingan repeatedly experienced the pain of his parents' deaths, which was unbearably painful.

He had really thought of suicide many times.

But precisely because of this, he did not want to die. He wanted to become stronger and find a way to revive his parents!

When he was young, his father often told him stories about "reviving the dead and regenerating bones." Since there were legends of people being revived, it must be possible!

Jiang Pingan quickly left.

At fourteen, he knew little about the world, just a simple desire to revive his parents.

It was almost autumn, and the weather was a bit cool. Leaves fell from the trees into the clear stream.

Jiang Pingan squatted by the stream, looking at his right eye.

This eye was not his, but it was as flexible as his own, and the blood-red color was gone, just like his left eye.

Currently, there were no abnormalities, and he had even gained the ability to manipulate objects.

Since there were no issues, he ignored it and entered a bear's den, took out the treasure pot, and placed the Blood Qi Pill inside to replicate it.

His talent in physical cultivation was stronger, and he needed to quickly cultivate the "Blood Qi Technique" to the second level to maximize his strength.

The soldiers would look for him again, and the monk would also look for him. He needed to quickly improve his cultivation.

Half a day later, at the foot of Mount Da Wang.

Yuan Bin stroked his beard, bringing back two soldiers with a stern aura.

From the decorations on the two soldiers, it was clear they were the captains of Ping Shui County.

In the entire Ping Shui County, there were only four captains, all of whom held high status and power.

"According to our previous agreement, I will hand over that boy to you, and your soldiers must not provoke the bandits of Mount Da Wang again."

Yuan Bin reiterated the terms of this negotiation.

"With your strength, you could get more benefits by joining our army. Why be a bandit?"

One of the captains asked in confusion.

Yuan Bin smiled but did not answer.

He had escaped from his sect, which was still searching for him, so he could not appear in public.

More accurately, the sect was searching for the blood-red eye.

Before he escaped, the blood-red eye had fused with a person, who gained mysterious power and became very strong.

Yuan Bin coveted this power and attacked the person, only to be severely injured and lose his cultivation level, even though the person had not yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

This made Yuan Bin even more eager to obtain the power of the blood-red eye.

He killed the person and fled with the blood-red eye.

Unfortunately, not everyone could fuse with the blood-red eye.

The sect had used the blood-red eye to interrogate prisoners for a long time, but only one person had successfully fused with it.

Yuan Bin became a bandit here to avoid the sect's pursuit and to conduct experiments on ordinary people.

He wanted to see what characteristics or talents the people who could fuse with the blood-red eye had, to find a way to fuse it with himself.

As long as he could fuse with the blood-red eye, all his efforts would be worth it.

However, after experimenting on over a hundred people, all of them died, and none of them could withstand it.

But he was not in a hurry. He could continue the experiments, one hundred if not enough, then a thousand, and if a thousand were not enough, then ten thousand!

He must find a way to fuse with the blood-red eye!

Suddenly, Yuan Bin frowned.

Something was wrong. Normally, his subordinates on the mountain were noisy, but today there was no sound at all.

Moreover, the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Yuan Bin suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly rushed up Mount Da Wang.

Seeing the ground covered with corpses, his heart sank, and his face changed drastically as he rushed to the prison.

When he saw that Jiang Pingan and his precious array flag were gone, his blood pressure soared, and he almost fainted.

"It's impossible! That boy was tortured all day and had no spiritual energy. How could he escape!"

Suddenly, Yuan Bin looked at the bandits' corpses.

Some of the corpses were strangely bent, not like normal battle injuries, but more like they had been crushed by some force!

Yuan Bin's heart sank. Could the blood-red eye have fused with that boy!

Such a low probability, and it actually succeeded!

"Yuan Bin, what's going on? Where is the boy?"

The captain behind him asked sternly.

He still needed to take Jiang Pingan back to report, but it seemed he could not do so now.

"Where is he! Where is he! Of course, he ran away!" Yuan Bin roared in anger.

That boy not only fused with the blood-red eye but also took his precious array flag!

That was a treasure he had refined during his Foundation Establishment stage!

The loss was enormous.

"Bang!"

A green light burst from the jade pendant on Yuan Bin's waist, and a sharp blade struck it.

"You scum bandits, do you dare to shout at us? Since we can't find that boy, we'll kill you to report!"

The bandits of Mount Da Wang were the hardest to deal with, mainly because of the existence of Yuan Bin, the cultivator.

Although they could not find Jiang Pingan, if they killed Yuan Bin, they could still get some benefits from him.

"You think you can kill me! When I was famous, you were just a pile of shit!"

Yuan Bin was furious. Seeing them attack him, he raised his hand and cast a spell, sending a large fireball flying.

The two quickly dodged and attacked from the sides.

As long as they did not let him create distance, warriors could easily deal with cultivators.

Moreover, the two had cultivated the "Blood Qi Technique" to the third level, making their strength comparable to the ninth level of Qi Cultivation, and they were the two strongest captains.

"Boom!"

The battle erupted, and soon Mount Da Wang was engulfed in flames.
