Chapter 44: Destroying Enemies with a Flip of the Hand

"Ah—!"

Although the leading horse bandit was strong and possessed Martial Arts, he was only at the Refining Strength level; having one leg pinned by a horse weighing over a thousand catties, he immediately let out a miserable shriek.

The other horse bandits, completely unable to grasp the situation, were instantly startled: "Bao!?"

"What are you standing there for!?"

Seeing his few subordinates just standing there watching, Bao, with one leg pinned, roared with bulging veins:

"Move this beast away for me!"

The four lackeys closest to him finally snapped out of their daze, hurriedly dismounted, and stepped forward to help Bao push up the neighing, struggling horse.

During this process, the remaining three lackeys patrolled the surroundings on their horses, trembling with fear, still unable to understand what had happened to the vanished Lu Yuan and why Bao had suddenly been thrown from his horse.

However, before Bao could be rescued.

Suddenly, one of these three lackeys had his eyes bulge out while on horseback, his entire body flew horizontally backward, and at the same time, a deep wound appeared on his abdomen, spraying blood into mid-air.

"Malei!?"

The other two mounted horse bandits turned their faces in horror and shouted out in shock.

But before they could go over to check.

Chi chi! Two sounds!

Of these two lackeys, one clutched his throat tightly with eyes wide open, a large amount of fresh blood gushing from between his fingers; the other had a huge bloody gash appear out of thin air across his waist and abdomen, and as fresh blood sprayed wildly, even his intestines spilled out!

The horses, startled for some unknown reason, directly threw the two heavily wounded lackeys off their backs; the moment they hit the ground, one lost all signs of life on the spot, while the other let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering scream.

At this moment, the other four horse bandits had just managed to pull Bao out from under the horse with the broken leg; turning their heads to see this scene, their hearts and gallbladders were split, and they let out terrified, frantic screams:

"Huzi!"

"Dazhu!"

A bloody, cruel, and utterly incomprehensible, eerie scene unfolded; even the strongest among them, Bao, because one leg had been crushed and broken, could only lean against another lackey in infinite terror and roar hoarsely:

"What kind of ghost is this, come out!"

He aimed the Firearm in his hand at the spot where the three lackeys had fallen, and like a madman, pulled the trigger repeatedly; as the gunpowder ignited, pellets grazed the air in an instant, striking the ground and even the bodies of the three fallen lackeys.

And just as he was in such a frenzy.

Thud!

Suddenly, a muffled sound of wind bursting came from behind him, causing a sense of immense crisis and terror to surface in Bao in an instant, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Bang!

Without any chance to turn around and react, a mountain-toppling, sea-draining force erupted from his back.

In an instant, Bao did not even let out a scream before his eyes suddenly bulged, and then, amidst a series of heart-stopping sounds of tendons, bones, flesh, and internal organs rupturing, he flew horizontally with great force; while still in mid-air, blood mist sprayed from his seven orifices, just like a smashed tomato!

Such a strong and sturdy horse bandit, upon hitting the ground, had a limp body and did not move at all; he had clearly had his spine and internal organs shattered, and he was dead.

"Ah!"

"A ghost, it's a ghost!"

Only a few steps away, the remaining four horse bandits were almost driven mad seeing this terrifying scene; they let out screams of terror, retreating wildly while frantically waving the long knives in their hands in extreme fear, as if trying to drive away that invisible, terrifying existence.

Three of the four were experts who had practiced Martial Arts and Refining Strength; at this moment, their hearts and gallbladders were split, and they only wanted to mount their horses and flee this terrifying place.

But before the four could flee, a thunder-like explosion suddenly came from the air; the airflow was instantly shattered, seemingly pressed and crushed by pure force, and the whistling, violent wind swept across in all directions out of thin air!

Bang bang bang bang!

With four consecutive explosions, the four bandits who were about to retreat wildly were immediately like mosquitoes hit by a cannon, flying up horizontally.

An indescribable force broke their sternums with irresistible momentum, then surged through their internal organs, tearing them to pieces, so that as their broken bodies flew into the air, the sounds of shattering tendons, bones, and rupturing internal organs rang out incessantly, trailing a series of scarlet blood mists!

Thump, thump, thump.

The four horse bandits' bodies hit the ground; each one had wide-open eyes, filled with infinite terror and pain, and after twitching a few times, they had no more signs of life.

At this point.

In the span of about five breaths, the eight horse bandits were either heavily wounded and dying, or had fallen dead on the spot.

Subsequently, ripples appeared in the wind-swept air, and Lu Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

After possessing Dharma Power, he no longer needed to consume his own essence and energy to perform the Invisibility Technique; as long as he did not exhaust his Dharma Power, he would not fall into a weakened state.

In the wilderness, there was no one around; among the eight horse bandits, only one man who had been disemboweled had not yet completely breathed his last; he looked at Lu Yuan, who had appeared out of thin air, with immense terror, his body and mind trembling:

"You, you"

Lu Yuan could not be bothered to say more; he stepped forward a few paces, picked up the Firearm the bandit leader had dropped on the ground, and then raised his hand to end the other's life with a shot.

In this day and age, horse bandits were synonymous with extreme evil, committing every kind of crime from rape and looting to kidnapping and murder; he felt no psychological burden at all for slaughtering these eight people.

Moreover, since he had openly used the Invisibility Technique in front of them, he naturally had to kill them to silence them.

To prevent anyone from faking death, he took the gun and went up to each one, firing an extra shot into every person's heart.

"Now there's no problem."

After doing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly:

"Invisibility combined with Martial Arts assassination, it really is ruthless"

Eight horse bandits, with a leader who had a gun; even a Three Realms Bone Forging Martial Master would need to be cautious, otherwise, there would be a possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

However, under the Invisibility Technique, combined with the Dragon Tiger Vajra Fist he had practiced to proficiency, it exerted extraordinary power, easily taking down all these people.

After all, with his current physical strength, added to the Dragon Tiger Vajra Fist, which was known for its ferocity, let alone Martial Apprentices who had practiced Refining Strength, even experts at the Tendon Changing level could not withstand a single punch from him.

Viewed this way, in terms of Martial Arts alone, Lu Yuan assessed that he should at least be at the Three Realms Bone Forging level, but if combined with the Invisibility Technique, the lethality far exceeded the Three Realms.

However, he would not become arrogant because of this and completely underestimate Martial Arts experts of higher levels.

Although the Invisibility Technique hides one in the formless and is elusive, any slightly large movement will still stir up airflow, leave behind sounds and traces, and reveal flaws during a head-on confrontation.

Ordinary martial artists are naturally difficult to detect, but Martial Arts experts at the Three Realms and above have keen ears and eyes, and any movement within a range of several zhang can be captured; they are by no means without the power to respond and counterattack.

This point must be especially noted.

Of course, if it were a duel between peers, Invisibility could still play a decisive role at a critical moment; in particular, Invisibility Technique combined with a Firearm or even a spell for assassination is the sharpest method of all.

Thinking of this.

Confirming that no traces were left behind, Lu Yuan searched the corpses of all the horse bandits one by one, and after obtaining several dozen Silver Yuan, he vaulted onto his horse and rode away.
