Killing Spree

Zhu Shen closed the cell door and went outside the cave.

'I better notify sect about this…'

Zhu Shen thought that it would be best for the sect to handle a matter like this. But, the images of the last cell started appearing inside his mind. Zhu Shen became restless.

'I need to do something…'

Then Zhu Shen remembered that there were a lot of bandit gangs active in this area.

'What if they too doing the same things…'

Zhu Shen finally could not hold it in anymore. He quickly notified the dragon palace about his findings. The elders sent a team of servant girls to accommodate people which were captured by the bandits.

'They are only sending servants…'

Disappointment flashed through Zhu Shen's eyes. Unlike him, the sect was not giving that much importance to the mortal life at all.

Zhu Shen could only sigh in disappointment. He knew that he could do nothing about it. The sects have much more important things to do. Unless there are millions of lives in danger, the sect wouldn't send a single disciple to their aid.

Zhu Shen waited for the servants to arrive as he silently recuperated.

After about 5 hours,

Zhu Shen finally saw some servants of the dragon gate coming from afar.

They all landed near the spring. When they saw ZHu Shen, they greeted him respectfully.

"Senior brother… thank you for your saving grace…"

Zhu Shen could feel heartfelt respect in their bow this time. He could only nod and point towards the direction of the cave.

All the female servants soon got into the cave.

Zhu Shen watched them get into the cave as he picked up a blade from a nearby body.

'This is the only thing I could do for now.'

Zhu Shen walked inside the jungle. He knew that there are other bandits gangs just like this one. He could only eradicate them all to help the surrounding villages.

At night inside the same jungle,

"Cheers…"

A lot of men were sitting near a campfire, laughing, singing, drinking alcohol. They all had sharp blades attached to their waists. Some of them even had scars on their faces.

"This time's loot was greater than what we have anticipated…"

"Yeah… not only food but a lot of treasures as well…"

"Can't wait to taste new meat that we captured… this time there is a lot of fresh one in the mix."

"Shhh… first, let the boss select his favourites… we don't want to die just for some fresh meat…"

"That's true…"

A lot of vulgar conversations were taking place near the campfire when suddenly the sound of footsteps came from the trees.

All men became alerted as they reached for their weapons while looking in the direction of footsteps.

A strange silence spread throughout the camp as the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.

All bandits hold their breaths as they prepared to dash towards the target anytime.

Soon they saw a youth 17-18 years of age walking out of the woods with s bloodied blade in his hand.

One could see that all of his clothes were dyed in blood. His eyes were scarlet red as he looked at the bandits in front of him.

A dense killing intent was released from the kid making all the bandits present feel like they have entered an ice chamber. Cold sweat dripped down their spines as they watched the kid in front of them.

The kid was Zhu Shen.

He looked at the bandits in front of him as he raised his sword,

"Kill…"

Zhu Shen shouted in a hoarse voice… as he ran towards the bandits. All bandits came to their senses after they heard the shout. They all took out their weapons and lunged towards Zhu Shen.

"Brat… you are looking for death…"

All the bandits like a massive wave ran in Zhu Shen's direction. The first bandit to approach Zhu Shen raised his blade and swung in the direction of Zhu Shen.

"Die…"

Zhu Shen merely watched the blade swinging his way. He raised his own blade to intercept it at the last moment.

'Clang…'

A sound of metal clashing came as the blade in the bandit's hand was flung away by a massive force. The bandit screamed but the next moment he saw a huge punch right before his face.

"Splash…"

The bandits head exploded as his body fell onto the ground. Zhu Shen didn't even care for the bandit's body as he rushed towards the next bandit.

Like a wolf in a sheep flock, Zhu Shen killed bandits left and right without caring about his injuries at all.

"Huff... Huff.."

Zhu Shen Panted heavily as he killed the last bandit. One could see that his body was littered with all kinds of scars and bruises.

He didn't know how many days passed or how many people he had killed. He could only remember that it was the 18th group that he had killed and there are more of them left.

Zhu Shen took a medicinal pill out of his storage ring.

'This is the last one left… Huh...'

It was the last healing pill that Zhu Shen had. He gritted his teeth as he stored the last healing pill in his storage ring.

'I can still endure…'

Zhu Shen clenched his fists as he walked into the forest towards his next target.

Back in the dragon palace,

Old man Ao was standing in his courtyard deep in thoughts.

'It has been 3 months… and there is no news of the brat… it shouldn't take this long to complete the quest right…?'

One could see the deep worry in his eyes.

"I should check it out… just in case…"

With a sigh, old man Ao disappeared from the courtyard.
