Chapter 506: Chapter 378: Mountain Bandits? _2 Chapter 506: Chapter 378: Mountain Bandits? _2 “Do these people have a grudge against you?”

“I don’t know them, and besides, they seemed to plan to attack the mage, not me.”

As she said this, Masou Shizuka pointed at her hat – indeed, one look at her attire and you’d know she was a Mage.

“Let’s go rescue Kaname first.”

Duanmu Huai didn’t care to understand these people’s motives. After getting rid of this bunch of idiots in his way, he turned around and walked forward. After Duanmu Huai and his group passed through the forest, they indeed arrived at a…. village.

“Is this the bandit’s lair?”

You had to admit, looking at the village before him, Duanmu Huai was quite surprised. In his mind, bandits usually lived in caves, or in strongholds on mountainsides. But this place looked like nothing more than an ordinary small village…. And with so many houses, when would they find what they were looking for?

But Duanmu Huai wasn’t without solutions.

“Tutu.”

With Duanmu Huai’s call, a flash of light emitted from the ring in his hand, followed by the appearance of Tutu.

“Master, you called!”

“Which house do you think the person we’re looking for is in?”

“Um…….”

Tutu turned her head to the village ahead, wiggled her ears, then pointed at one of them.

“Tutu thinks it’s there!”

“Good, let’s go!”

Without hesitation, Duanmu Huai strode towards the house Tutu had indicated. From outward appearances, it seemed to be a warehouse and it was tightly locked, it didn’t seem occupied. Yet Duanmu Huai paid it no mind. With one swift kick, he sent the warehouse door flying forward!

“Bang!!!!”

A loud blast followed, and the warehouse door broke into fragments. Then Duanmu Huai walked into the warehouse, to find Kendou Kaname bound and hanging in the middle of the warehouse. And there were a few men around her, about to lay their hands on her. Hearing the explosion, everyone turned around, and before their eyes was the gleaming Power Great Sword.

“Die!”

With a roar, Duanmu Huai swung down his sword, slashing the man before him in two. Faced with the sudden attack, the others were startled and hurriedly picked up their weapons to fight back. At this moment, Ogis and Masou Shizuka also took action.

“Arrow of Flame!”

Masou Shizuka raised her hand, and a flame shot out striking another man, instantly charring his chest. And on her other side, Ogis lifted her right hand, gently wiggled her fingers, and the next thing you saw was two men attempting to escape through a window being hacked to pieces.

“Ahhhhhh!!!!”

With a scream, the last bandit fell. Only then did Duanmu Huai put away his weapon and walk up to Kendou Kaname, swinging his sword to cut the rope that bound her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I’m okay… thank god… Luckily, you came. But master, how come you’re with Shizuka?”

“Just pure luck.”

Duanmu Huai glanced at Tutu who was cheering behind him, and chuckled. You had to admit, his luck was quite good. Who knows what would’ve happened if he came later.

“Ah, master, we’re surrounded.”

At that moment, Tutu hopped next to Duanmu Huai and said anxiously. Hearing Tutu’s report, Duanmu Huai raised an eyebrow.

“Perfect. This is what I’m best at!”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai walked out of the warehouse with his great sword, and sure enough, as Tutu had said, dozens of fully armed men had completely surrounded the warehouse. Seeing Duanmu Huai come out, they all paused, but quickly raised their weapons.

“Kill them!”

“Kill these intruders!”

“Kill the mage and her dog!”

Who, you lot?

Duanmu Huai cast a cold glance over the crowd, then tightened his grip on the great sword.

“Since you all wish for death, I shall grant it! Die!”

At these words, Duanmu Huai roared, and the next moment, the surrounding cries were abruptly silenced as if the voices were choked off. The pressure of death and destruction was fully unleashed by Duanmu Huai at this moment. Those soldiers facing him directly went deathly pale, their eyes rolled back, and they collapsed on the spot, silent.

In the blink of an eye, the men surrounding Duanmu Huai fell with thuds, their bodies trembling as they hit the ground, quivering like sieves. The Fearful Aura had left a few barely alive.

“Foolish idiots.”

Duanmu Huai clutched his great sword, staring at a shaking man collapsed on the ground, then stepped forward.

“You brought this demise upon yourselves, don’t blame me.”

“Help, help! Help——!!!”

Seeing Duanmu Huai approaching, the man was so terrified that his nose began to run and he would not stop screaming. However, as Duanmu Huai had reached him and was about to raise his sword, a voice suddenly emerged from the distance.

“Stop!”

Hearing the voice, Duanmu Huai took no notice, delivered a slash, and split the man’s skull on the spot. Only then did he turn to cast a look in the direction of the voice.

There, a blonde young woman in a wheelchair was staring at him, her face ashen. Beside her stood an old man in a white coat, looking to be a doctor.

Upon seeing Duanmu Huai savagely ending the man’s life, the blonde’s expression hardened.

“Who are you, and why are you attacking us?”

“Are you the leader of these bandits? You definitely don’t look the part… ”

Duanmu Huai sheathed his great sword and looked at the blonde girl. Hearing his words, she seemed startled.

“Bandits? We are not bandits!”

“Not bandits?”

At the girl’s rebuttal, Duanmu Huai scoffed.

“You rob caravans, kidnap people, and attempt to use violence. If this isn’t banditry… then what is it?”

“What are you talking about?”

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s derision, the blonde woman looked puzzled.

“Oh? Are you playing dumb now? It doesn’t matter, to me, once you’ve provoked me, there is only one path left- death.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai looked at the blonde girl and walked towards her. Seeing him approach, the young woman turned pale, her hands clenched tightly onto the wheelchair’s armrests, frozen in place. But at that moment, the old doctor who had been standing next to her appeared in front of Duanmu Huai with a flicker.

“Sir, I suspect there may be a misunderstanding between us… could you let us explain?”

“An explanation? To me, that is mostly a cover-up… If you intend to lie about your wrongdoings, there is no need to waste such time…”

As Duanmu Huai looked at the old man, ready to strike, he suddenly heard childish voices.

“Big sister? What happened here? We just heard a loud noise…”

Upon hearing these voices, Duanmu Huai’s eyes flicked to the side alley where several children stood cautiously peering out. Seeing them, the blonde young woman’s face changed dramatically.

“It’s dangerous here, don’t come over. Get back quickly!”

“Aah…!”

Upon seeing Duanmu Huai, the children were startled and turned to run. One little girl even fell as she ran, but was quickly helped up by her companions.

“…………”

Duanmu Huai silently sheathed his great sword.

“Very well, I will give you one chance to provide me with a satisfactory explanation.”

Then, he began to speak.
