Mashia & Ryker Vs Bandits

 Mashia feel great excitement as she fight her current foe. The man in front of her is at the 4th Stage Genesis Core, someone that is strong enough to threaten her.

 Normally, she would flew for her life, or at least before she was sent to this continent. Spending time with Ryker is a good thing, as she learned that she is stronger than she believes. 

 As if to prove it, the dragon girl punch the man in front of him to the ground. The impact left a crater as the man groaned as he flew out, looking carefully at her.

 Genesis Core is the level where cultivators could ascend to the heaven, or in other words, able to take flight. So, the bandit in front of her could fly, which will make it harder for those weaker than them to hit Genesis Core experts. 

 Thankfully, her strength is similar to Genesis Core, so she could pretend to fly the way Genesis Core experts did.

 "Let's see how strong you are!?" Mashia said, her tone similar to Era when she met bandits.

 The dragon girl do have some pent up rage towards those that destroyed her clans and family. However, she is not strong enough to take revenge.

 However, she could still let out the frustration and rage she had by beating those she hate, and the bandit quickly find himself at the receiving end of his wrath.

 She appeared before the man and punched at him. This time, he was able to block thought it clearly took a lot of him. However, Mashia is not the type to back down easily. She did not take any weapon with her as her entire body is a weapon.

 The blue-haired woman began to show her skill, constantly beating back the bandit. Each attack is infused by qi as well as elemental power, which enhance her ability greatly.

 The man could only be at the receiving end of her attack, slowly accumulating injuries.

 "Enough!" the man yelled before he gathered the qi in his fist before unleashing a powerful punch.

 Mashia snorted. Such simple attack did not even need to dodge. She merely raise her hands and stop it with a single palm.

 The attack collided with her palm as an explosion occured. The man laughed as he perceived Mashia had been defeated. 

 "This is what you get for underestimating me!" he yelled before making his way towards the explosion. 

 While some people will be killed, he doubt and hope she survive. After all, he need to show the women where she belongs, underneath her.

 Yet, as he gets close, he suddenly overwhelmed by terror. He try to move but incapable of doing so, as he was sentenced to death.

 "That tickled," Mashia said. Her dress looked slightly torn, with no visible injuries.

 "My turn," the qi inside of her unleashed as dragon's roars come out of her fist.

 The man try to flee but the terror of her Technique made him unable to do so. He could only watch as the blue-haired woman punch him, a blue dragon charged at him.

 That was the last thing he saw before he was shredded by the technique, leaving nothing behind.

 Ryker was on the defensive, though not because of him struggling against them, like his attackers thought, but instead because he wish to.

 "Is that all you got," Era's ex-uncle said, gloating to him. Ryker ignored the man, instead focusing on protecting himself.

 With his current strength, defeating them would be a breeze, but he did not plan to make them die a simple death. He will make them suffer.

 "Oh, do you know how long I have lust for that niece of mine," the man said as Ryker's heart skip a beat.

 The man smile as he began to tell his darkest thought.

 "I want to grope that perky butt of hers. Before doing the same on her bust. Then, I am going to defile her as she scream from the pain," his smile widen as Ryker tremble in anger.

 "I have to thank you for delivering her to me. It make my job easier than trying to find her," seeing how he began to froze, the man unleash his strongest attack, followed by the others.

 After blasting him continuously, the man laughed wickedly.

 "I want to defile her in front of you, but just as well. I can just do her in front of the other woman you graciously gave us," the other bandits laugh before they stop, looking at the figure in front of them in disbelief.

 "Have you ask permission to touch what is mine?" he said coldly, looking he was completely unharmed by the bombardment.

 The bandits looked at him in shock, as Ryker scoff, before appearing in front one of the bandit, severing him in half with a strike.

 "One down, 3 more to go," he said before he created transform his qi into Fire and Earth qi. The two qi swirled, trying to merge.

 Normally, it would require greater strength and control, but he had learn the Elemental Fusion Art, a Cultivation Art that help one to combine different elements faster and smoother, as weill as allowing such thing to be done while at a weaker strength.

 He had combined fire with earth, turning it into magma. The boiling red rock all over him released a domineering might, causing the bandits to look at him in fear.

 However, the man yelled out loud, "Dont worry! He only get us by surprise! Next time we-" Ryker did not wish to hear him talk anymore.

 He appeared in front of the man and give him a slap, though one that is not covered with lava. He did enhance his hand with his qi, sending her flying into a boulder, and remain there, unmoving but still alive.

 He then turned towards the three remaining bandits. Faster than the eye can blink, he appears in front of one of them before he grabbed his head. This time, it is covered with lava, the man screaming in agony as his head slowly burned and crushed.

 He released the headless corpse, letting the other two watch in horror. Realizing how outmatch they are, the two bandits tried to flee, as if he let them. He threw two consecutive punch, two magma fist following the bandits. 

 The movement of the magma fist was too fast for the bandits as they soon find themselves having a hole in their chest. They looked down in disbelief before they fell, their eyes lifeless.
