Chapter 62

Lu En's eyes flickered as he cast a deep look at Ace.

Letting Ace realize as early as possible that he was very weak…

This was not necessarily a bad thing.

At the very least,

This way, from now on Ace would have a goal he needed to chase after.

In this way, Ace would be able to grow and become stronger even better!

"It was also from that very moment just now."

"That I finally knew…"

"So it turns out, the gap between you and me was this huge."

Ace felt a little unwilling.

Next,

Lu En led Ace to take care of the remaining batch of mountain bandits, and along the way let Ace get a taste of blood.

He gave Ace a dagger…

To test whether the other party dared to ruthlessly kill the unconscious mountain bandits.

In the end—

Ace did it.

Ace, gripping the dagger, took care of the mountain bandit who had just threatened him, ended the other's life, and drove the dagger viciously into the other's heart.

In an instant,

As a large splash of blood flew up,

At this point,

This mountain bandit's life was taken by Ace.

Life wilted,

All vitality gone.

Reduced to a cold corpse.

"Nicely done."

Walking to Ace's side, looking at the latter's pale complexion and trembling body, Lu En could not help but let out a light chuckle.

The first time killing someone…

Ace would inevitably suffer some negative effects after all.

Regarding this,

Lu En said he could understand.

Ace and himself were, after all, different!

His own first time killing someone…

Not only did he not feel panic.

On the contrary,

Even deep within his heart, there was still a violent impulse to tear everyone apart.

"You rest for a bit first, wait until I go take care of the rest of these mountain bandits."

Lu En let Ace rest for a bit, while he himself went alone to take care of the remaining batch of mountain bandits.

Half a quarter of an hour later,

Lu En, his hands stained with fresh blood, gave them a shake, flinging the blood onto the ground beside him.

"Finally done with them."

After punching the head of the last mountain bandit to a pulp, Lu En had thoroughly annihilated this entire gang of mountain bandits, numbering over three hundred strong.

Single-handedly wiping out the entire mountain bandit gang!

Not a single one left!

Not a single fish escaping the net!

Killed clean and thorough!

After briefly cleaning off the blood on his body, Lu En stood bare-chested, revealing an upper body still bearing traces of blood, his muscle lines incomparably distinct, his entire demon-back radiating a surging, oppressive presence.

Next,

He returned to Ace's front once more.

"Let's go."

Since the mountain bandits here had been dealt with, Lu En naturally had no reason to continue lingering here.

Finally…

He piled up this messy, huge heap of mountain bandit corpses all together neatly, then used a fire to burn these corpses.

After doing all this,

Lu En took Ace and the two of them left without looking back.

The two of them walked further and further away,

Heading back in the direction of Windmill Village.

Behind,

The raging fire blazed fiercely, gray-black mist curling upward.

Thick fog swirling,

Firelight flickering

From within the flames came the crackling and popping of burning.

That was…

The sound of bones being burned to pieces!

The corpses of more than three hundred mountain bandits were all incinerated into ash.

After walking for roughly a quarter of an hour,

Lu En and Aisi's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Turning around,

the two glanced back toward the raging flames behind them.

"Aisi, work hard to grow stronger!"

"Work hard to chase after my back, my footsteps…"

"Don't ever let me leave you too far behind."

Gazing at the distant, dazzling firelight flickering ceaselessly, Lu En withdrew his gaze, could not help but pat Aisi on the shoulder, and spoke with earnest, weighty counsel.

On this day,

the tremendous strength Lu En had displayed left an incomparably profound impression on the young Aisi!

"This… is what a true powerhouse looks like?"
