The Bandit Hunter

The Present:17 Years Old Jiao

Jiao cuts the last bastard bandit. Looking at his opponents crumpling corpse. "I am strong." is what he thought. Even though he knew he was only strong compared to the pleb bandits that keep showing up every year. Seriously, they just come out of the woodwork. Though they've proved to be extra helpful in developing the techniques he has been copying from the various forms of media. He managed to develop the fighting skills of the following franchises:

One Piece:

Sanji- Diable Jambe

Zoro- One-Sword Style, Incomplete Two-Sword Style.

Luffy- Quick Blood Circulation or Gear 2nd

Yakuza:

Komaki School Techniques

Lotus School Techniques

Kawauchi School Techniques

Kiryu's Moveset

Majima's Moveset

Heat-Turns out his fire resembles the red heat aura to an extent and unlike the games weak heat his burns literally.

A.T: I was just playing the yakuza series games and thought "Man, imagine The Dragon of Dojima and The Mad Dog of Shimano in a Wuxia tale." They would be kicking ass wherever they went and it would be beautiful.

He also been trying to figure out how to do magic. Cause if a wizard could be transported here and still use magic, then so can I. Though it's been proven difficult, maybe he doesn't have the talent necessary. Ha, got you, he figured out fire pretty easily.Think Natural Qi(Nature Qi or Magic in the world) as fuel and burn it. Easy enough.

It's the other elements he's having trouble with. He'll get back to that later. Now looting, back when he decided to go bandit hunting he's been having it pretty easy. Half going to him, the other half going towards the orphanage. The Saint Xiao's Orphanage now looks as it did fourteen years ago. Clean and not looking like it would shatter with a touch. Though he's noticed that his bandit hunting gig has seen him going farther and farther away. Maybe the bandits were informed of a monster tearing bandits left and right and were steering clear of the area. Jiao put on a thoughtful expression at that line of thought. Eh, He'll think about it later. He doesn't.

Meanwhile, in the far outskirts of the town.

In a tent, a loud "bam!" was heard. followed by

"WHAT DO MEAN THE BANDITS NEAR LITTLE TOWN ARE NEARLY ANNIHILATED!?!" ~ Grey Haired Man

"Its as I said sir all the bandits we sent to suppress Little Town have nearly been annihilated. Also the remaining bandit clans camps have shown signs of backing away from there"~ Calm Man

"Damn it, what is happening over there that results in bandits being destroyed one after the other?"~Grey Haired Man

"Sir, the clans have stated that the one they call, "The Bandit Hunter" is the reason behind it. He has been seen going into the bandit clans camps and slaughtering all who weren't in cages. He seemed to use the bandits to refine never before seen techniques. However, with eye witness testimonies stating the same thing."~Calm Man

"A storm is what we saw kill those bandits,not a human man. New moves being tested by him and all of them proven fatally crippling."~Calm Man

"...Bullshit, no way a man made camps of bandits look like they've been ripped to shreds by beasts and squashed by mammoths."~Grey Haired Man

"That is nothing but the truth, Sir Jack."~Calm Man

"..."~Jack

A.T: I ran out of names (;_;)

"Send the best mercenaries we know and also send Lu Kong. Something tells me we need to send our A-game to handle this "Bandit Hunter" Lock."~Jack

"...Yes,Sir."~Lock

Lock proceeded outside the tent to carry out Jack's Orders, granted with added addition.

Back with Jiao, He can be seen nearly filling up his bag of goods. Something that only a truck could hold. He's taken to looting all that the bandits owned except their underwear and bloodstained clothes. He always hated the weight limit or minor amounts of space that showed up in games. Now, he could be a loot goblin all he wanted.

"Okay, final piece of loot."~Jiao

Jiao stated that as he placed a gold necklace into the over sized bag. He was ready to leave.

Whistling sounds of an arrow.

If not for the attack that was caught in Jiao's hand.

"Oi! You The Bandit Hunter."~Squinty Eyed Man

"Who's asking?"~Jiao

"Lu Kong, The Slaughterer and his boys."~Lu Kong

A.T: Relatively polite. Well it would only be rude if he didn't reply.

"Yeah, I am. What of it?"~Jiao

"Hehehe, we were sent to deal with you. The person who's been ruining the hiree's plans to suppress Little Town."~Lu Kong

"Well, try and beat me then."~Jiao

Inwardly, Jiao was stunned, suppress Little Town. What's so special about Little Town? I mean besides the fact Saint Xiao was birthed in Little Town. Besides that what could be so dang special. Does one of Saint Xiao enemies think that someone like Saint Xiao would be birthed again. Ha, funny. That hasn't happened in 150 years. I doubt it would happen now of all times.

A.T:...Press X to Doubt.(°_^°)

Anyway, I also doubt any of Saint Xiao's enemies are still kicking. Though, there is a possibility of a rat getting out of its cage. But, never mind all that, time for what Jiao does best.

"So, are you lot just going to stand there or are you to chicken?"~Jiao

A tick mark can be seen from Lu Kong's head.

"Get that man!"~Lu Kong

What followed were war cries, that almost sounded impressive, and a charge towards Jiao. Jiao wasn't fazed. He's been through a lot, refined his use of techniques, and been through group battles before where it was many versus one. He is a veteran at this. And the cries of pain that followed attested to that.

"What the?"~Lu Kong

"What, getting cold feet Lu Kong?"~Jiao

The bodies strewn about beneath his feet was intimidating. However, Lu Kong wasn't Lu Kong if he backed out now.

"As if, my name isn't Lu Kong if I dont bring you down."~Lu Kong

"Then prepare to call yourself Lu Dong then."~Jiao

A.T: Lu Dong, hehehe. American dick joke.

Lu Kong charges out of anger. He knew about the west side of the worlds jokes. The fact that a single change to his name could bring such comedic effect, PISSED HIM OFF. As he goes for a swing, something felt off.

"Komaki Tiger Drop"~Jiao

Jiao countered with a move, that was stated in the game, to take tigers down. A fist, supplemented with ki, to the chest, that to Lu Kong felt like he got hit by a beast made of rocks. Lu Kong thought his heart might of burst, as he vomited unhealthy amounts of blood. No thats wrong his heart DID burst.

"What~? that's it? I expected more from The Slaughterer,Lu Kong."~Jiao

Jiao looked down on the man, puking his guts out. Then he felt a prick in the back of his neck. His hand felt for the pricking sensation, grabbing hold of a...needle!

'Shit! Poison!'~Jiao

Jiao felt the effects almost immediately. His tough body and his ki working overtime. He needs to settle this quick. He is already starting to feel the effects of this poison. Killing Lu Kong, and immediately using his ki to check the immediate vicinity. It seems he was lucky, his invisible opponent must of thought he was just really strong in body. He probably thought he didn't have any ki. Activating Quick Blood Circulation, Jiao went on the offensive.

"QUICKDRAW ART: LIONS SONG!!!"~Jiao

Jiao, wanting to end things quickly, infused ki into this attack. As he passed by where his attacker is to be. The tree, which is thick enough to have 10 grown adults hug it, got slashed in half. His attacker not noticing anything felt like he was floating only to look down and notice his legs were not connected to his body.

Jiao pissed off and red eyed. Ended this battle by stabbing his sword into his poisoner's head. He immediately took a knee, whatever poison they used did a number on him. Short of breath, tunnel vision, it felt like his insides were on fire.

"I have to get to Little Town. I don't have much time. The tunnel visions getting worse."~Jiao

Jiao got up, looked at his loot, and thought.

'Damn it! I can't take the loot with me. It will only slow me down. Have to get to Little Town."~Jiao

Jiao grit his teeth, looked at his loot one last time, and left. His speed allowing the surroundings to look like a blur. He was not as fast as he wanted to be.

"Damn! That poison is enough to take down regular Apprentice Rank 10 swordsmen. I can feel the weakening effect of it, numbing reactions, and slowing down the body. Along with the slow burn, it's a surprise I'm still alive. Training has allowed my body to become super in the same realm of ki."~Jiao

Jiao smiled. He now knew where he stood compared to other swordsmen. This bandit raid has brought a much more valuable item, a revelation. He coughed out some black matter. Have to get home.

He could see it now, Little Town gates. The soldiers seem to notice him and he collapses right in front of the gates. All he could hear was

"IT'S JIAO!!! HE'S COLLAPSED!!!"
