Chapter 468: Chapter 468: Suppressing Bandits, The Frustrated Li Hanyi

"It was you? You stole the goods from our Lingxi Commerce Guild?"

Dragonfly the Bandit and his men raised their heads, looking towards the entrance, their brows furrowing.

Because this village had long become their base of operations, there were restrictions placed all around the outside, and yet they had not sensed the black-clothed person arriving at their doorstep at all.

What was more critical was that they could not discern the true cultivation of the man before them, completely unable to probe the depth of his realm.

"Who exactly are you, and do you realize you’ve intruded upon the territory of Dragonfly the Bandit?"

The gaunt giant bellowed furiously, stepping forward two paces, a powerful aura erupting from him.

However, faced with the outburst of the gaunt giant’s Heaven-reaching Realm Seventh Level cultivation, the black-clothed person at the door did not move an inch. The oppressive aura directed at him dissipated as soon as it approached, neutralized by an invisible force.

"I will ask one last time, did you steal our Lingxi Commerce Guild’s goods?"

The black-clothed man looked at the gaunt giant and asked once again.

There were more than twenty martial artists in the room, each of them above the Fifth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, with the highest cultivation belonging to the emaciated giant, who was at the Seventh Level.

Such a force, if placed within the ranks of our Jade Cauldron Sect, would be considered quite powerful.

The black-clothed man’s cultivation was also at the Heaven-reaching Realm Seventh Level, but he was not the least bit afraid of the more than twenty martial artists in the house.

His long-term training in the Dark Division had cultivated a calm and collected state of mind. Moreover, he was confident that even under the attack of these twenty-plus individuals, he could at least kill three martial artists. Not to mention, they had deployed twelve B-level assassins from the Dark Division for this mission.

"Barging into our domain and you still dare to act so arrogantly? I’ll teach you a lesson in minutes. Those goods were indeed seized by us, what about it? Do you have the ability to take them back?"

A beefy martial artist by the gaunt man’s side, looking at the black-clothed figure at the door, shouted arrogantly.

Upon hearing this, a faint cold smile appeared on the corner of the black-clothed man’s mouth.

"Since you admit it was you who took them, that’s enough. We have not found the wrong people."

"Next, you will pay the price for your deeds."

"Die!"

The moment the black-clothed man’s words fell, a chilling wind suddenly swept across the room. All they saw was a dark shadow appear before their eyes, and a sharp dagger sliced across the throat of the fat martial artist.

The chilling dagger touched the copious flesh, slicing it open before the blood could even spurt out, and the dagger had already flashed by.

Thump—

"How is this possible? Who are you?"

Seeing the corpulent man die before their very eyes in the blink of an eye, everyone finally came to their senses.

However, the black-clothed man at the door had not made any move, but on the support beam inside the room, another figure had appeared, exuding an aura identical to that of the man at the door.

The people, looking at the two figures, showed a look of terror in their eyes, and they all drew their weapons, warily eyeing the two individuals.

"No matter who you are, to dare kill within the territory of Dragonfly the Bandit, even if you possess exceptional strength, you are but two people. We are so many, we do not believe we can’t take you down."

Despite the deep trepidation in his heart, the gaunt giant nevertheless mustered his courage to bolster their own spirits, for if they were to lose heart, they would surely stand no chance against their adversaries.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

However, no sooner had the gaunt giant’s words finished than another ten black figures appeared on the beams inside the room, adding up to twelve alongside the previous two.

"The moment you seized the Lingxi Commerce Guild’s goods, your fate was already sealed."

"Next, you may resign to your fate."

"Before you die, we can let you know our names. The twelve of us are known as Black Crow, a name in assassination that will soon make everyone in the Da Yun Kingdom tremble with fear. Alas, you won’t have the chance to witness it anymore."

As the black-clothed man finished speaking, the other eleven figures, as well as he, left a lingering afterimage in their original place and charged towards the members of Dragonfly the Bandit within the room.

A short while later, equivalent to the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, the twelve dark figures, along with the goods, returned to the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

The Black Crow operated directly under the command of Lin Chen, not even following the orders of Xu Ma’an. The dozen had practiced a cultivation technique that Lin Chen had derived from the Purple Cloud Wings, making their movement technique elusive and unpredictable. Lin Chen had sent them to the Da Yun Kingdom not only to protect the Lingxi Commerce Guild but also to establish a Dark Division force within the kingdom.

...

Beyond Dragonfly the Bandit’s group, the Lingxi Commerce Guild’s goods had also been intercepted by another force during transport.

This force were the real bandits, numbering close to two thousand martial artists. They usually operated on the borders of the Da Yun Kingdom, preying on merchants traveling through certain key areas.

As such, the Da Yun Kingdom didn’t monitor them too closely; since they didn’t act within the towns and cities of the kingdom, the authorities turned a blind eye.

Facing this den of thieves, deploying the Dark Division’s forces was clearly insufficient, as the Dark Division was suitable for assassinations, not for open combat.

At this moment, Li Hanyi, accompanied by five hundred warriors from the War Department, slowly approached Daiyun Mountain.

The mountain peak in sight was where this den of thieves was located.

"It seems this is the place. Just do what you do best, and avoid rushing into the area where I’m drawing my sword to strike."

For Li Hanyi to lead an army to exterminate bandits was indeed an overkill.

But when Lin Chen assigned him this task, Li Hanyi agreed without a word of complaint.

During these two months at the Jade Cauldron Sect, Li Hanyi had had enough and felt extremely suffocated internally.

In swordplay exchanges with Lin Chen, he was constantly suppressed.

In swordplay exchanges with Xu Ma’an, he was again suppressed at every turn.

Even when exchanging swordplay with Yang Yuemin, he still found himself utterly suppressed.

Apart from these three individuals, others would lose to him, but the fights were not satisfying since they simply could not compare with Li Hanyi in swordsmanship.

Therefore, Li Hanyi needed to vent, and coming here to exterminate bandits was an excellent choice.

After all, Lin Chen had made it clear that the life and death of these warriors were for Li Hanyi to decide.
