Chapter 21: The Bandit Exterminator

  Even the leader of the Conjoined Formation Stage was killed, how could those second and third-rate teams dare to come up? Coming up would be sending themselves to death!

  Then, facing a five or six year old child, the second and third teams of forty people ran away, and they ran very fast!

  Then, a story spread among the robbers that there was a five or six year old child named Long Ge who could kill a Qi Xing level expert with a silver equipment upper grade weapon!

  "Impossible!" Ximen yelled, "It must be a false rumor, how can a child kill a master of the Qi Xing level?"

  Ximen Feng, sworn brother of Nan Tian Bao, is also a master of the third level of Qi Xing. Originally, he and Nan Tian Bao jointly occupied the mountain as kings, but later, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, so he found his own mountain head to establish himself as king.

  "Older brother! Is it true?!" The little rascal hastily explained, "Nan Tianba's underlings are outside! You can call him in to ask about it!"

  "Quickly call him up!" Ximen Xiao shouted hastily, he wanted to know if that little kid was really that formidable!

  "Don't call out anymore!" Along with a clear and crisp childlike voice, a human head pierced by an arrow flew in front of the Western Gate's commander. "That subordinate of Nan Tian Ba has already been killed by me!"

  "Who are you?" Ximen Chu was slightly startled. "How can someone sneak into the 'Hall of Alliance' without being detected?"

  "Haha! A den of thieves dares to be called the Hall of Righteousness!" After a childish laugh, Long Ge appeared in front of Xi Men, wearing black clothes and riding a white horse.

  "Are you Long Ge?" asked Ximen Feng.

  "Yes." Long Ge said lightly.

  "Do you have the guts to come to our mountain stronghold?" Ximen Feng found it unbelievable, after all, the mountain stronghold had at least a hundred or so people.

  "You still have the guts to stay here?" Long Ge said with a light smile.

  "What did you mean by those words?" Ximen Feng had a bad premonition in his heart!

  "Why don't you shout loudly and see if your subordinates respond!" Long Ge laughed even more comfortably.

  "Someone's coming!" Ximen Yan shouted loudly in cooperation. "Someone's coming!" However, no one came after shouting several times.

  "Haha!" Long Ge laughed loudly towards the sky "You can shout until your throat is hoarse but no one will come to save you!"

  "Hmph! Even if you've killed those useless fools, you can't kill me!" It was only then that Ximen Feng finally realized that all of his subordinates had been killed! However, he refused to give up. He still wanted to snatch the treasure on Long Song's back - that top-quality silver bow.

  "Is Nan Tianba also a useless person?" Long Ge pretended to be surprised.

  "Nan Tianba cultivates earth attribute Dou Qi, with high defense and low attack power. How can he compare to me?" Ximen Feng said as he swung his fist wrapped in red Dou Qi towards Long Ge "Let you witness the might of fire attribute Dou Qi!"

  "Haha!" Long Ge laughed as he jumped off the horseback and then performed the Water Drop Step! (Isn't it said that Long Ge now only exhibits earth attribute Dou Qi and fire attribute Dou Qi? How come he's using water attribute Dou Qi step now? Because Long Ge has already decided to let Xi Men die, do you think a dead person would reveal Long Ge's secret?)

  "Huh?" Ximen suddenly couldn't find Long Ge's shadow "What?! You can also use water attribute steps?!"

  "Yes!" Accompanying Long Song's voice was a golden orange and red three-colored arrow, which instantly shot into the back of Ximen Feng's head and then pierced through his brain!

  "What a pity you found out too late!" Long Ge's figure appeared in the hall at this moment.

  "A place like this must have some treasure." Long Ge muttered to himself, then continued searching inside.

  After searching for half a day, I finally found a secret room with several large boxes of gold, silver, and jewels, as well as some bronze-grade weapons and some first- and second-class elixirs. As for the elixirs and weapons, Long Song wasn't very interested, but he couldn't waste them either, so he stored them in his 10-square-meter spatial ring. The several large boxes of gold, silver, and jewels were also stored inside the ring. Since both Nan Tianba and Xi Men Xiang had 10-square-meter spatial rings on their bodies, which also contained a lot of treasure, but there was still plenty of space left, Long Song easily put everything away. Three rings, one for elixirs, one for weapons, and one for gold, silver, and jewels. Because the spatial ring was quite large, after storing everything, there was still some leftover space. Normally, Long Song only wore the ring containing elixirs on his hand, as it also contained the Great Replenishing Elixir he had refined himself, which could be consumed at any time to recover his fighting energy. Why not wear all three rings on his hands? If he wore three rings on his hands, it would look too ugly, and Long Song couldn't bear to lose face like that.

  After several days of fighting and practicing after the battle, Long Song has reached the peak of Qi Yin third level and is ready to upgrade to Qi Yin fourth level, so Long Song decides to upgrade in this secret room.

  The location of this secret room is excellent, it's located at the concentrated spiritual energy point of the mountain range. It's estimated that Ximen Xiao was also cultivating here in the past. So when Long Ge started absorbing the cultivation, the elements around him quickly gathered together. The elemental spiritual energy between heaven and earth was absorbed by Long Ge with abandon, through his skin to strengthen his skin, through his tendons and bones to strengthen his tendons and bones, merging into his dantian, then transforming into white energy!

  The white energy was being continuously absorbed by the gas babies, and after absorption, the gas babies continued to grow bigger and started to take shape.

  "Ding! ~~" Long Song's body shone with golden light, and he leveled up, from Qi Yin third level to Qi Yin fourth level. This took Long Song more than six months, which shows that the path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses!

  "Hooooo..." Long Ge let out a long sigh, starting to feel the changes in his internal Qi. His Qi had doubled, but all other uses of Qi remained the same. Why was that? Because Long Ge's experience had already brought his use of Qi to its limits. If he wanted to improve further, he would have to increase his Qi level first. So, Long Ge still had a long way to go.

  Long Ge spent the whole night cultivating, which means he had already eliminated Ximen Xiao's gang of bandits for a day. Other bandits might have heard the news and come to avenge their companions, so Long Ge decided to leave immediately.

  Isn't it better for Long Ge to stay here and wait for the bandits? Since they dare to come after Ximen Xiao's death, they must be stronger than Ximen Xiao. They will definitely make thorough preparations, so Long Ge doesn't like being a target for others. Moreover, Long Ge's purpose of killing bandits is not to dominate the mountain. His goal is to raise funds for himself while ridding the people of harm. There are many places in the Imperial City where money can be used, so that's why Long Ge comes to kill the bandits on the mountain. Although Long Ge can refine equipment and elixirs to sell for money, it would be foolish not to take advantage of readily available opportunities and instead spend time refining them himself.

  One hour after Long Song left the mountain stronghold, the robbers who had caught wind of the news also arrived at the mountain stronghold.

  "Is this the Long Song Gang?" a bandit leader asked the person beside him.

  "It should be him, looking at this incredible archery skills, it can only be done by that Ryūga, right?" said the second son who seemed to be a military strategist.

  "A mere five or six year old kid took down the entire mountain stronghold?" The bandit leader's face was full of incredulity.

  "Yes, even Nan Tianba and Xi Men Xiang, two masters of the Gas Form level, were killed." The military advisor said.

  "If I'm not mistaken, Nan Tianba was skilled in earth attribute Dou Qi, while Xi Men Xiang was skilled in fire attribute Dou Qi. So two masters, one exceling at defense and the other at offense, were both killed?" The bandit leader began to tremble with fear at Long Yue's strength.

  "As far as I know, the Dragon Song that has been circulating is not even at the Nascent Soul level, and with a top-grade silver weapon, such an attack alone cannot easily kill powerhouses like Nan Tianba and Xi Men Xiang. The true strength of Long Ge must be hidden."

  "So easily killing a master of the Gas Form level, I also can't do it. From now on, let's not provoke Long Ge, at least our people shouldn't provoke Long Ge." The bandit leader also sighed.

  "Yes, boss." The military advisor was also delighted by the bandit leader's wise decision!

  Even a master of the fifth rank of Qi Xing announced that he would not move against Long Song, and Long Song's reputation quickly spread among the bandits.

  "A five- or six-year-old boy!"

  "A boy holding a high-quality silver weapon!"

  "A boy who can easily kill two third-level elemental spirits!"

  "A lone archer on horseback takes down a bandit camp of over a hundred men!"

  "This boy is not to be trifled with!"

  "This boy is simply the bane of our robbers!"

  No matter how the robbers discussed Long Song, Long Song didn't hear it, he continued to walk towards the empire, practicing along the way, not paying attention to the outside situation at all. It's just that recently he found that there were no more robbers blocking the road.

  "It's really strange, where have all the robbers gone? I'm not always walking in these remote mountains, am I? Why haven't any robbers come to attack me!" Long Ge said puzzled. He had been out of Longjia Village for twenty days and it had been fifteen days since he was last robbed. The peaceful journey of fifteen days made him suspicious, "Looks like I have to go to the city to ask what's going on!"

  Long Song entered the nearest city, anyway there were still ten days before registration, and the journey was only five days away, so Long Song didn't rush either. Entering the city to have some fun was also possible, and he could also take the opportunity to gather information!

  Arrived at the best wine house in town, Long Ge ordered the best wine and dishes, and started eating and drinking alone! Long Ge had plenty of money, although he was small and his stomach was small, but he still ordered a lot of things, mainly to taste the delicious food of the wine house. Twenty days of mountain life made Long Ge's mouth dull.

  Eating delicious and smooth fish while listening to people around me talking about their meals.

  "Have you heard? There's a kid called Robo-Ky!"

  "I heard that at just five or six years old, he took down three gangs of robbers!"

  "Yes, it's too absurd, and they even killed two masters of the Nascent Soul stage!"

  "What a freaky kid! Whose child is this? Now even robbers don't dare to mess with him!"

  "Yes, although holding high-quality silver equipment weapons, but so many bandits are there isn't any gang rushing to rob!"

  "By the way, what was that kid's name again? Something with Dragon?"

  "Song of the Dragon! The dragon of the Dragon King, the song of singing!"

  "Pfft!~~~~" Long Song spat out the food he had just eaten, thinking gloomily "So I'm that famous now? No wonder no robbers came to rob me. It seems I'll have to work hard again to refine equipment and elixirs to make money. Otherwise, how can I survive in the Imperial Capital? Being famous is really not good, I don't even have the chance to be robbed!"

  "There should be an Alchemist Guild in this city, I'll go ask!" Long Ge thought to himself as he headed out.
