Chapter 6

"Madam Zhang, my injuries are almost healed. In a few more days, I can return home!" Yunfan explained to Madam Zhang.

He had stayed here under the pretext of recuperating, and naturally, he would leave on the grounds of his recovery. He had already broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm, and as soon as the one-month period was up, he would use the Space-Time Crystal to return to Earth.

Yunfan was from Earth, where his family lived. His sister, Yunxuan, could only be saved by him. Yunfan was eager to return.

Anyway, the Space-Time Crystal could be used for spatial travel once every month. After resolving his sister Yunxuan's troubles, Yunfan could return to the Qianyuan Continent through the Space-Time Crystal.

By then, with no worries, Yunfan could focus on pursuing martial arts on the Qianyuan Continent, striving to learn all four volumes of the 'Great Law of the Great Luo'!

"Be careful when you go out. Don't hurt yourself again!"

Madam Zhang looked at Yunfan with a kind gaze. "Go home when you're healed. You've been in Yun Family Village for so long; your family must be worried."

Yunfan thought of his parents. Yes, he had been away from Earth for twenty days. Without contacting his parents for so long, they must be very worried.

Moreover, not attending classes for twenty days, the teachers would definitely have complaints. The school couldn't contact him either. When he returned to school, he would surely face punishment. How should he explain it?

Yunfan thought a lot about it and was even more eager to return to Earth.

However, no matter how anxious Yunfan was, without the Space-Time Crystal, he couldn't return. He still had to stay in Yun Family Village for ten more days.

Every day, Yunfan continued to practice the Qi Condensation Chapter of the 'Great Law of the Great Luo,' absorbing the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth to strengthen his true qi.

When he first broke through to the Qi Condensation Realm, the true qi in his body was just a faint stream, like a worm moving under his skin.

After a few days of cultivation, the true qi gradually grew stronger, moving under his skin like a small snake!

As the one-month period drew closer, Yunfan's mood improved.

One day, while Yunfan was practicing in his room, his true qi moved like a snake over his body.

There were only three days left until the one-month period was up.

Yun Family Village rarely interacted with the outside world, and life had always been peaceful. However, today, the tranquility of Yun Family Village was suddenly shattered!

While practicing, Yunfan heard screams, angry shouts, and... the sound of metal clashing.

Yunfan quickly stopped practicing and walked out of the room. Madam Zhang rushed in and shouted, "Little Fan, bandits are raiding the village. Quickly run out the back door and hide in the mountains!"

Soon, cries and screams came from outside. The bandits were extremely ruthless, killing people.

Yunfan shouted, "What about Uncle Yun?"

Madam Zhang said, "He and the men of the village are fighting the bandits. They were born and raised in Yun Family Village and will fight to the death to protect this land. The women and children have fled to the mountains. You're not from Yun Family Village, so you should escape quickly!"

Thinking of Uncle Yun, who ate with him every day and was kind, even at his age, he had to fight the bandits. Yunfan felt a surge of anger, and his blood boiled.

Yunfan said, "Madam Zhang, you go out the back door first. I'll go check it out!"

Saying this, Yunfan rushed to the front door.

In just three days, he could return to Earth, where his sister Yunxuan was waiting for him to save her. Logically, Yunfan should have focused on protecting himself and not get involved in any trouble on the Qianyuan Continent.

However, he had lived in Yun Family Village for nearly a month, and it felt like his home on the Qianyuan Continent. The villagers of Yun Family Village were very kind to him, especially Uncle Yun, who lived under the same roof. How could he bear to see him killed by bandits?

Of course, Yunfan wasn't just rushing in with blind passion. He wanted to assess the situation first. As a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, he was powerful and had the mech X-101. The bandits who attacked a small village like this probably wouldn't have any strong fighters. If he could handle them, Yunfan would naturally lend a hand.

If the bandits had experts that even the mech X-101 couldn't deal with, Yunfan wouldn't risk his life and would still escape.

Yunfan rushed out of the house. Not far away, several bandits were fighting the men of Yun Family Village.

On the Qianyuan Continent, the spiritual energy was rich, and even ordinary people who didn't practice martial arts were strong, each with hundreds of pounds of strength. Some with powerful physiques even had thousands of pounds of divine strength!

There were only thirty men in Yun Family Village, with only a dozen or so in their prime, the rest being old or young.

Yun Family Village was located in the mountains, and they often hunted wild beasts. Occasionally, they would encounter fierce animals and had to fight them, making them all strong and robust.

Among the dozen or so men in their prime, five had powerful physiques and possessed thousands of pounds of divine strength.

The bandits who attacked Yun Family Village numbered six, all of whom had practiced martial arts. Although they weren't Qi Condensation Realm martial artists, they had powerful physiques and strength exceeding thousands of pounds.

The bandit leader was tall and strong, wielding a large saber. The five men of Yun Family Village with thousands of pounds of divine strength were no match for him and were forced to retreat.

The other five bandits were fighting the rest of the men of Yun Family Village, and the situation was one-sided. Several men of Yun Family Village had already fallen in pools of blood, including Uncle Yun.

Uncle Yun, in his sixties, was not as strong as he was in his prime, and his reactions were slower. He had already been slashed and was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely. Seeing this, Yunfan was furious, and his killing intent surged.

Yunfan rushed forward, grabbed a bamboo pole used for drying clothes, and split it with a wave of his hand. Holding the end of the bamboo pole, he injected true qi into it and threw it like a spear.

Whoosh—

The bamboo pole shot out, flying over twenty meters. A bandit was about to deliver a fatal blow to Uncle Yun, but was hit by the bamboo pole.

The bamboo pole pierced through the bandit's chest, killing him instantly.

Although Yunfan didn't know any martial techniques, as a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, his true qi circulation gave him thousands of pounds of strength, which was more than enough to deal with these bandits who hadn't even reached the Qi Condensation Realm and were still in the martial arts foundation stage.

Yunfan's attack instantly killed a bandit, shocking everyone present. All eyes turned to Yunfan.

The men of Yun Family Village were overjoyed to see Yunfan's strength.

The other bandits were shocked, and the tall bandit leader immediately charged at Yunfan, shouting, "I'll kill you first, brat!"

The bandit leader was about ten meters away from Yunfan. He raised his large saber, and Yunfan struck out with a palm in mid-air.

True qi left his body!

Bang—

The true qi struck the bandit leader's chest with the force of thousands of pounds, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.

Yunfan didn't know any martial techniques, and true qi weakened the further it traveled. Otherwise, this palm would have struck with full force, enough to severely injure the bandit leader.

The bandit leader was knocked to the ground but wasn't injured. However, his eyes were full of fear, and he exclaimed, "Qi... Qi Condensation Realm martial artist?"

A small village in the mountains having a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist was unexpected.

A Qi Condensation Realm martial artist had officially entered the realm of martial arts, far surpassing those in the martial arts foundation stage. Even sixty of them wouldn't be a match for a single Qi Condensation Realm martial artist who knew martial techniques.

The bandit leader was relieved that this young Qi Condensation Realm martial artist seemed to not know any martial techniques. Otherwise, that palm would have severely injured him!

Even without martial techniques, the bandit leader didn't dare to provoke a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist. He was a member of the 'Tianxiong Gang,' one of the two major gangs on Jingyang Road, and knew the power of Qi Condensation Realm martial artists.

A few days ago, the Tianxiong Gang was defeated by the Fuyuan Gang, and the gang leader was killed. The Tianxiong Gang fell apart, and the members scattered, some becoming bandits.

In the Tianxiong Gang, they lived a life of feasting and drinking. After becoming bandits, without a source of income and unwilling to live a simple life, they turned to raiding villages in the Jingyang Road area.

The Qianyuan Continent had a fierce and strong populace. Large villages with many people were too dangerous to raid, so they targeted small villages like Yun Family Village.

"Retreat—!"

The bandit leader shouted and ran away as soon as he got up.

Several people in Yun Family Village had died, and Uncle Yun was severely injured. How could Yunfan let these bandits come and go as they pleased?

Yunfan took a step forward, covering three meters in one stride, closing the distance with the bandit leader, and struck out with another palm in mid-air.

True qi left his body, hitting the bandit leader, who was turning to flee.

This time, the true qi struck the bandit leader's back, and with him running forward, he was thrown to the ground, face-first.

The five men of Yun Family Village who had been fighting the bandit leader rushed forward, striking him with iron rods, long knives, and axes, killing him instantly.

The other bandits were terrified and turned to flee, but the men of Yun Family Village, filled with rage, wouldn't let them escape, chasing them down and killing them one by one.

All six bandits were killed, with three deaths and four injuries on the side of Yun Family Village.

If not for Yunfan's intervention, even with only six bandits, Yun Family Village would have been overwhelmed and likely wiped out.

The men of Yun Family Village thanked Yunfan, looking at him with newfound respect and gratitude. They never expected that this young man staying in Yun Family Village would be so powerful, a martial artist of the Qi Condensation Realm.

The women and children who had fled to the mountains returned. Although the bandits were all killed, the people of Yun Family Village were not happy. Three families were in mourning, and the four injured needed immediate treatment.

Yunfan found some money on the bandit leader and gave it to Madam Zhang to buy good medicine for Uncle Yun's treatment.

He also took out some of his own money to help the other injured, keeping some for his next trip to the Qianyuan Continent.

Yunfan did his best to help Yun Family Village. When the one-month period was up, he had to leave. There were more important things waiting for him on Earth.

Three days later, the one-month period was up, and the Space-Time Crystal, which had been dormant for a month, finally glowed again.

Yunfan bid farewell to Yun Family Village. It was time to return to Earth!
