Chapter 1588: Chapter 1581: Interception of Bandits

But there was only a chance, because compared to the reaction of these vulgar fellows, the man in black was evidently quicker.

His gaze was fierce, fixated on the person trying to escape, yet he did not move immediately. He retracted his hand into a palm, made a few gestures, and then aimed at the person’s back.

The mana in his palm fluctuated rapidly, a surge of highly concentrated mana spilled out and formed into a shape. Accompanying his movements, an ice spike made of mana appeared in his palm, and then shot towards the man’s back like a bullet.

The man only felt a severe pain in his back, followed by his chest. His originally fast pace uncontrollably slowed down, from running to walking, then stumbled and fell after a few steps.

He tried to scream, but he could not make any sound at all, opening his mouth in vain as blood spilled from the corners.

He looked down in horror at the ice spike piercing through his chest and soaked with blood, and the next second, the ice spike vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

But the man knew the ice spike had been real, because after it disappeared, the huge wound left by the spike began gushing blood profusely. With the last bit of strength in his dying breath, he slowly uttered a word: "Elemental..."

In just three rounds, these three men died without resistance. The man in black slowly retracted his hand, his eyes still manically fixed, as if he never cared about this battle, or even considered these three men as human.

The man in black quickly stepped forward, grabbed the demon child tossed aside, and scrutinized him closely. The child stared back in terror, too frightened to speak. He trembled all over, his pants soaked with his own urine.

"It’s not, it’s not..." the man in black muttered to himself, seemingly trembling even more violently than the child, intermittently letting out hysterical sounds.

The next second, he effortlessly ripped off the ropes on the child’s body, tossed him aside, then held his head in vexation, screaming, "Where is it, where is it!!!"

The man exhibited formidable combat skills, but from his style, it was clear he was a Dual Dao Cultivator, skilled in both the Ba Path and the Royal Dao. Being able to cultivate both schools certainly meant he was no ordinary individual.

The roped child, while watching him warily, struggled to free himself from the remaining bindings and then scrambled away from the spot. The man in black seemingly let him go without chase or harm, merely standing there muttering to himself.

Turning back to Tangmo’s side, just after comforting Fei Yu, Fulajie’er brought them good news: "Hey, a few of you come with me!"

"What happened?" Tangmo asked excitedly.

"I think I’ve found the targets you were looking for, two men and two children, right? The children are from the Demon Clan," said Fulajie’er.

"Where?" Tangmo widened his eyes and asked eagerly.

"Over there, just over a kilometer away. You guys come help quick, I’ll intercept them. We need to be fast, or these guys will escape my surveillance area," urged Fulajie’er.

"Okay, okay," Tangmo nodded repeatedly, then quickly stepped out of the house, and commanded loudly in the courtyard, "Feng, follow Xiao Fula, Little Ke and Yue’er follow Feng!"

"Understood!" Feng didn’t even ask why, upon hearing her command, he immediately drew his sword and followed Fulajie’er.

Although Fulajie’er was in a stealth state, Feng could still sense her presence, so he was able to keenly capture her form and follow.

"What’s the situation?" Hu Daoke and Baiyue ran up to her, asking in surprise.

"Follow, let’s save them!" Tangmo explained succinctly.

"Got it!" The two nodded in sync and then followed, carrying their weapons.

With the help of Mobility gear, Feng moved through the jungle at an astonishing speed. She bypassed the annoying bushes, weaving between the trees, and caught up with Fulajie’er who had stopped in just over thirty seconds.

Of course, Fulajie’er was even faster. Being a spirit, she could reach her desired location in an instant, but she deliberately slowed down to guide Feng.

Upon seeing those two men, Feng leaped high up, using the Mobility device to soar between the treetops, then landed steadily in front of the two, blocking their way.

These were two men in their thirties or forties, dressed in shabby clothes, clearly identifiable as lowly drunkards. Each was holding a child, and upon seeing Feng, both nervously pulled out weapons from their waists.

Feng raised her long sword at them and, without speaking, gestured with her blade for them to let go of the children.

"The frequency of infighting these days..." Face to face with this obstacle, the two men exchanged glances and spoke with embarrassed expressions.

The two children in their hands were a boy and a girl, both looking about five or six years old. It was obvious they were Fei Yu’s children, even someone as inattentive to details as Feng could guess that—the fur color of their ears was almost identical to Fei Yu’s.

"What should we do?" one of the men asked nervously.

"Ha, worst comes to worst, we’ll end it for all, nobody shall have them," his companion sneered, pressing the knife against the children’s necks.

"Nobody move, put down your weapons!" At this moment, Hu Daoke and Baiyue finally arrived, promptly surrounding the two men with guns drawn, shouting sternly.

"Don’t come any closer, if I slice down, nobody will get them," the two men, back to back, were each holding a child and pressing the knife against their necks.

"You two maniacs, release the people at once!" Baiyue shouted angrily.

"We are maniacs, you are bastards. Damn it, we finally found these two little brats, and you lot come to disrupt," one man angrily said.

"Who is like you? You two beasts," Hu Daoke cursed angrily, "breaking into homes to rob and kidnap children, you deserve death, what right do you have to lecture us."

"Oh, looks like we’ve encountered the great righteous ones," the man sneered sarcastically, "what, you’re playing hero now, are you free or what?"

"Don’t think of us like you, you two beasts," Baiyue said coldly, "this is your last chance, release them immediately, I guarantee your safety. Don’t blame me for not warning you."

"What if I don’t comply, what can you do," the man sneered, "isn’t it just about taking people, why waste words, just be straightforward, that would seem less hypocritical of you."

"It seems they won’t shed tears until they see the coffin," Hu Daoke turned to Baiyue and said.

At that moment, they heard Fulajie’er’s voice: "You two, kneel down later, I will ensure the children’s safety; Little Fengye will handle them."

"What about us?" Hu Daoke asked.

"Shut up..." Baiyue glared at him impatiently.

After arranging everything, Fulajie’er started communicating with Feng. After a brief exchange, Feng nodded lightly, her gaze turning icy.

Just then, a bright flash suddenly appeared in front of the two men, the abrupt intense brightness causing them to lose all vision. Baiyue and Hu Daoke, seeing this, quickly shut their eyes and ducked down.

Immediately afterward, Feng stepped forward, her long sword swinging horizontally. The Qi Force of Mana Shapeshifting erupted, transforming into an invisible blade that swept across the necks of the dazed men.

After the flash of light ended, the heads of the two men also fell to the ground. This was Feng’s most adept attack method, and if not restricted by Luo’er, each of her battles was exceptionally bloody.

The headless corpses stood for about two seconds, seemingly realizing the absence of their heads, then stiffly fell down, blood spurting out from the large wounds, the earthy ground suddenly sporting a huge pool of blood.

The first to react, Baiyue stepped forward and hugged the two children, using her body to shield their eyes, preventing them from seeing the bloody scene.
