My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 72: Leave No One Behind! (Please Subscribe)

"These bandits actually appeared in White Water?"

Chen Wuji's gaze narrowed.

Maintaining a distant gaze, he counted the number of cavalrymen in black cloaks and black armor... only around thirty?

"Is it just a small squad?"

Chen Wuji relaxed slightly, scanning the fleeing group, and suddenly caught sight of someone familiar.

But in the next instant, his gaze returned to the black-armored cavalry, and he took a deep breath.

"Alright, I'll use you to test my skills."

Hoo~

Hoo~

True Qi surged, stirring up a powerful aura.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With his hands open, he released waves of True Qi, transforming them into blades that slashed towards a patch of trees to the right.

These trees were as thick as an adult's thigh.

The blades formed by True Qi cut through, cleanly severing a dozen or so trees from the bottom.

But the trunks didn't fall; they remained upright in their original positions.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

True Qi transformed again, like a cutting machine, swirling around the tree trunks, cutting off all the branches from the bottom up, leaving only the trunks.

Hoo!

Hoo!

A strong wind blew.

With the support of True Qi, the bare trunks of a dozen or so large trees flew into the air.

After lifting off the ground, another burst of True Qi was released, transforming into blades that sharpened the ends of the flying tree trunks, turning them into makeshift spears.

True Qi Realm, Sixth Layer, Material Manipulation!

Carrying a dozen or so thick "spears," Chen Wuji leaped into the air, combining his Lightning Steps with the White Crane Dance, gliding down the slope, charging towards the thirty or so Black Wind Iron Cavalry that had chased them to the foot of the mountain...

...

"Run! Run faster!"

"Abandon the goods! Drop the goods and run!"

"How did the Black Wind Bandits appear in White Water? How did they appear in White Water?"

"We can't escape, we can't escape!"

Smack!

"Shut up! Who's willing to fight the Black Wind Bandits with me?!"

"Yes, let's fight them!"

On the spacious official road, a group of nearly two hundred people was in chaos, with shouts and cries rising and falling.

Among them, in a merchant caravan, Li Changwu urged his horse forward. As he turned his head to look back, he shouted to a young man riding a horse beside him, "When the time comes, run up the mountain, I'll cover you, don't look back!"

"Dad, let's go together!" The young man with red eyes shouted.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Changwu angrily said, "Do you think the Black Wind Bandits are just a gang of wild dogs in the county? The Black Wind Iron Cavalry has been rampant in the two provinces for over ten years. Do you think they survived by relying on what?"

"Without mentioning the hidden backers behind these beasts, just talking about the experts in the Black Wind Bandits who have reached the True Qi Realm, there are no less than ten!"

"When the True Qi Realm experts make a move, without a large number of people to cover, no one can escape!"

"Li Qingzhi, remember this, you represent everyone in the caravan, survive!"

"Do you understand!?"

"...I understand!" Li Qingzhi gritted his teeth, his voice filled with grief and anger.

"Look, what's that?"

A cry of surprise suddenly came from the front.

Before he could react, there were also shouts from behind.

"Look up! There are people in the sky!"

People in the sky?

Li Qingzhi was stunned. As he looked up, he saw a dozen or so tree trunks with sharpened ends flying from the right side of the mountain, passing over everyone's heads, and crashing towards the rear of the group.

On top of one of the tree trunks stood a burly man.

Hoo!

Hoo!

Hoo~

The strong wind howled, and dust filled the air.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A dozen or so sharpened tree trunks flew through the air, crashing towards the Black Wind Iron Cavalry chasing behind the group.

Suddenly, a frontal attack came out of nowhere.

The thirty-odd Black Wind Bandits tried to dodge and evade, but it was too late.

Puh! Puh! Puh~

Crash!

Boom!

The sound of muffled explosions, screams, and horse neighs echoed on the Great Dao in an instant.

Playing with the merchant convoy, the thirty-odd Black Wind Iron Cavalry chasing from behind were directly hit.

At least ten people were struck by the trunks of large trees in mid-air and fell to the ground.

Some of them died on the spot.

The rest were in disarray, crashing into each other and falling to the ground.

"Hu Hong!"

Before the remaining Black Wind Bandits could react, Chen Wuji, who arrived together, erupted with True Qi and attacked with a palm strike.

With one palm strike, the power was multiplied by eight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surging palm force tore through the air and struck the Black Wind Bandit at the forefront.

Just as these Black Wind Bandits reacted, the palm force reached them.

"Boom~!"

Like a landslide or a tsunami, it shook the earth and split the ground.

Several Black Wind Bandits were sent flying in mid-air. Their bodies covered in black armor were shattered into several pieces by the shockwave, blood splattering as they crashed into the Black Wind Bandits still on their horses behind them.

Bang! Bang! Bang~

"Ah!" "Ah!"

Sounds of screams, exclamations, and muffled explosions once again resounded on the Great Dao.

"Seeking death!"

"Kill him!"

The few remaining Black Wind Bandits roared in anger, stomping on their horsebacks and soaring into the sky.

The iron swords made of refined iron in their hands hacked towards Chen Wuji.

The True Qi transformed into blade qi, substantial and tearing through the airflow, crisscrossed and blocked Chen Wuji's retreat.

However, Chen Wuji didn't retreat at all.

"Boom!"

He still clapped his hands, erupting with pure True Qi and multiplying his strength by eight, directly colliding with the blade qi.

Crash!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only a series of explosions could be heard as the blade qi shattered, turning into energy and stirring up the air, counterattacking the several Black Wind Bandits who were leaping into the air.

The powerful shockwave caused these Black Wind Bandits to spew blood from their mouths and lose control as they flew backward.

"Hu!"

"Hu~"

Qi revolved around Chen Wuji's body, keeping him suspended in mid-air. True Qi was released, and he reached out to grab several fallen iron swords from the Black Wind Bandits, swirling them up and grabbing them in his hand.

"Fierce Wind Thirteen Blades!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Puh-chi! Puh-chi! Puh-chi~

Dominant and scorching blade qi, wave after wave, accompanied by extremely sharp blade intent, covered all the Black Wind Bandits, impacting their minds and freezing them in place, unable to move.

When they reacted, wave after wave of blade qi had already descended upon them.

Puh! Puh! Puh~

Blood splattered as the blade qi ravaged.

Dense and numerous blade qi submerged all the Black Wind Bandits, severing their arms and legs, separating their heads from their necks.

The strong smell of blood filled the air, stimulating the senses.

When the blade light stopped, there was not a single Black Wind Bandit left standing on the official road. They were all lying on the ground.

On the vast official road, silence descended in an instant.

A deathly silence, with no sound of birds or insects.

The fleeing merchant convoy unknowingly stopped at a distance, everyone staring dumbfounded at the pile of corpses on the ground behind them.

The bodies of the Black Wind Iron Cavalry!

Just a moment ago, these Black Wind Bandits were still chasing after them, with no way to escape.

But in this moment, they were all wiped out, killed in less than thirty breaths.

Not a single one left!
