Chapter 30

From their attire, it seemed that this group of people and the bandits from before were part of the same gang, and the flags they carried were the same as well.

The leader was a man with a full beard, not very tall, holding a large hammer.

He was the one who had just spoken!

It could be seen that these bandits were considered elite, not only uniform but also each had some strength, far surpassing the bandits who had been eliminated earlier.

"These bandits don't seem to be ordinary mountain thieves; they have probably been ruling the mountains for quite some time. I wonder how many more of them are still out there besides these?"

Dong Fangxiuzhe could sense that the people who had come had aura fluctuations.

The bearded leader was particularly skilled, wielding a large iron hammer as if it were weightless. It was clear that he was the leader of these bandits.

"Have you forgotten the gang rules? How dare you desert in the middle of a battle!" The bearded man grabbed the deserter, his beard bristling and eyes glaring as he roared.

"Second... Second Leader, they are too strong, we lost many brothers..." The deserter's voice trembled, his face pale.

"Bang!"

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, the bearded man raised his hammer and smashed the man's head to pieces!

His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he muttered, "What the hell, if you're afraid of death, why become a bandit!"

Dong Fangxiuzhe had been watching everything below. When he saw the bearded man kill his comrade without hesitation, his eyes suddenly glinted with a cold light.

He could not tolerate treating comrades as less than human!

"These damned scoundrels, indeed, they cannot be shown mercy!"

Dong Fangxiuzhe decided to root out these social scum completely!

"Mercy to the wicked is cruelty to the good!" This was a principle Dong Fangxiuzhe always adhered to.

When facing the wicked, he never showed mercy, and could even be described as almost cruel!

It was also the bandits' bad luck. Who did they choose to attack, if not this little demon? It was no wonder they were about to be wiped out!

After some thought, Dong Fangxiuzhe had a plan. He decided to infiltrate their ranks and uproot them from the roots!

While the bearded man and Zhao Hu were in a tense standoff, Dong Fangxiuzhe slipped behind a lone bandit and, without the bandit's awareness, used the unique techniques of the "Yin-Yang Five Elements Art" to control him, turning him into his puppet.

A puppet, meaning his actions and words were controlled by Dong Fangxiuzhe!

Next, it was about how to play this act well!

At this moment, the bearded man and Zhao Hu were already fighting. Both of their moves aimed for a fatal strike, clashing head-on, with the powerful aura collisions creating air currents that left no room for others to intervene!

One sword, one hammer, one had the advantage in speed, the other in strength!

Dong Fangxiuzhe, controlling the puppet, hid in the darkness, with a clear view of the outside situation. He could see that Zhao Hu was in the upper hand and would soon be able to cut down the opponent!

"What the hell, what are you all standing around for, attack together!"

The bearded man was very cunning. Although he ordered them to attack together, he feinted and jumped out of the circle, only giving orders to his subordinates to attack.

Zhao Hu killed seven or eight people in a row, but more people rushed in. These people all had aura, and it was hard to fight many with few. Moreover, the bearded man, this despicable guy, kept sneaking attacks. In a short time, Zhao Hu was injured.

The other guards, though they wanted to help, were tied up by the numerous bandits and could not come to his aid in time.

"What a bunch of shameless scoundrels!" Dong Fangxiuzhe snorted, a contemptuous smile on his lips, and his hands began to form seals rapidly.

He would not let Zhao Hu die; he was very fond of this guy now!

"Since you want to play dirty, I'll play dirty with you!"

Muttering to himself, Dong Fangxiuzhe activated his Yin-Yang illusion at that moment.

Speaking of the bearded man, he saw an opportunity and planned to sneak attack again. This time he was determined to kill Zhao Hu with one hammer, so he used all his strength.

However, as he rushed into the crowd, something he never would have dreamed of happened.

His subordinates, as if they had all agreed beforehand, attacked him simultaneously.

The situation happened too suddenly. The bearded man's hammer was already on its way to Zhao Hu, and it was too late to retract and defend. He could only watch helplessly as his subordinates' weapons struck him.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

Blood splattered.

The bearded man didn't even have time to scream before he was hacked to death by his loyal subordinates!

He died with his eyes wide open, unable to understand what had happened!

He probably died without ever figuring out what had happened.

Zhao Hu was stunned. He was about to give up, but he never expected these guys to turn against each other and kill their leader.

This was truly unbelievable!

Could these guys all be undercover agents?

No one at the scene, except for Dong Fangxiuzhe, knew what had happened.

Actually, it was very simple. Dong Fangxiuzhe had just used an illusion to swap the images of Zhao Hu and the bearded man. In the eyes of the bandits, they were killing Zhao Hu, but in reality, they were attacking their second leader!

When the illusion was dispelled, the bandits were also stunned, unable to understand how their second leader had been killed by their own hands.

For a moment, everyone was frozen like wooden statues.

With their leader dead, the other bandits scattered like headless flies.

Zhao Hu and his men captured a few, but none of them could provide information about Dong Fangxiuzhe's whereabouts. With no other options, they began to search the area.

Dong Fangxiuzhe, however, pretended to be a captive and was smoothly taken to the bandits' hideout.

Since the bandits were still in shock over the death of their second leader, they had no time to pay attention to Dong Fangxiuzhe, the captive.

Dong Fangxiuzhe took advantage of this relaxed defense to start setting up barriers and traps around the area!

He was going to wipe out the entire nest!

By himself!

Just as Dong Fangxiuzhe had everything set up and was about to take action, a familiar energy fluctuation was rapidly approaching, catching his attention.

"Could it be him? Why would he come here?" Dong Fangxiuzhe's mind raced, already guessing who was coming.

He decided to wait and see for now.

After all, he had already set the trap; when to spring it was up to him!

"I never thought we would meet again so soon. It seems we are truly destined to meet!" A sly smile appeared on Dong Fangxiuzhe's face.
