BXBX NOVEL Chapter 24
Seeing a burly man blocking her way, the beautiful woman’s face was filled with panic.
Compared to the man in front of her, her body could not be any more delicate.
Frightened by the man, the firewood in her hands fell to the ground.
“Hehehe, what do you think, little lady? Follow me!”
The deputy chief went to pull the beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful woman crouched on the ground and looked at Li Ming for help. “Young master…”
When the men saw that the beautiful woman was actually asking the scholar for help, they laughed.
The deputy chief laughed evilly, “Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business… Hehehe.”
The rest of the bandits looked like they were watching a good show.
Now that the beautiful woman was asking for help, if the scholar continued to pretend to be asleep, nothing would happen.
The deputy chief saw that Li Ming continued to sit in place.
The deputy chief laughed out loud and looked at the beautiful woman. “Little lady, it seems like nobody is coming to your aid!”
He was a little excited. He was a brigand, a bandit, so how would he have the opportunity to come in such close contact with such a beautiful woman on normal occasions?
The rest of the bandits also could not hold themselves back any longer and shouted, “Second brother, leave some soup for your brothers!”
“Hahaha, don’t worry. Let me have a taste first.”
The second head was very satisfied and was about to enter a side room with the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman squatted on the ground and trembled as she said, “No… Don’t…”
Seeing this, Li Ming frowned slightly.
In the next instant.
The deputy chief’s body suddenly slumped as his head was separated from his body.
“Who’s there?!”
Seeing their deputy chief die so suddenly, all of the bandits were shocked.
The burly man who was their chief even stood up.
They did not see anyone make a move at all. But in the end, that did not change the fact that their deputy chief’s head was now rolling on the ground.
After a round of inspection, the group of bandits all focused their eyes on Li Ming.
In this ruined temple, he was the only one who could make a move.
After seeing the situation clearly, everyone looked at Li Ming warily.
The beautiful woman was frightened by the sudden death. She screamed and quickly ran to Li Ming, hiding behind him.
The attack just now… It was indeed done by Li Ming.
He could not just sit by and do nothing while all of that was happening right before him.
However, he did not continue to attack. If the others did not cross his bottom line, he did not mind giving them a way out.
..
“Motherf*cker!”
“You’re just acting mysterious!”
“We must take revenge for second brother!”
The angry bandits pulled out weapons from the cargo boxes. They brought out big sabers, long spears, twin axes… They all wielded different kinds of sharp weapons.
With weapons in their hands, they felt much more confident.
The burly man also held a knife in his hand and looked at Li Ming with anger.
“You’re quite bold to kill my deputy!”
“Brothers, let’s go and kill this brat together to avenge second brother!”
Hearing their leader’s order, the bandits’ fighting spirit rose even higher.
However, one of the bandits reminded him, “This kid seems a little evil. He might know some demonic arts.”
“Don’t be afraid. With so many of us, how would we not be able to kill him?”
Even though the death of the second leader was a little strange, the group of bandits lived their lives on the edge of a blade. How could they possibly be afraid of a weak scholar? With that, they all charged at Li Ming.
Li Ming looked at the group of mortals quietly.
In fact, a snap of his fingers was all it took for him to deal with this group of people.
At this moment, a strange vibration sound came from outside the temple.
It sounded like something heavy was moving, and the sound was very strange.
The bandits were all shocked and looked over.
They then saw a huge shadow cast outside the temple.
“W-what the hell is that?!
“Monster, monster!”
The bandits held their weapons and looked at the temple entrance in horror.
No matter how strange that scholar’s methods were, he was at least a human. This monster’s ghastly shadow was two to three meters long and its shape was very strange.
“Chief, what do we do…”
The burly man forced himself to calm down and ordered, “Gather together. There are so many of us. There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
Even though he said that he was not afraid, his legs were still trembling slightly, and he could not completely suppress his fear.
The huge ghostly figure blocked the entrance of the temple.
Then, it slowly walked into the temple.
In front of the fire, the ghostly figure finally revealed its true form. It was completely black, and its face seemed to be wearing a white mask. Its facial features were particularly strange.
It carried an evil aura and brought gusts of chilly wind, making it even more terrifying.
“Hiss…”
“It really is a monster!”
Seeing the ghostly figure’s true appearance, the rest of the bandits huddled together and almost peed their pants.
Li Ming’s divine sense swept over it and felt that the strength of this ghostly monster was far beyond that of the demons who had escaped from the sect.
Why did this ghostly figure come to this temple?
Could it be a man-eating beast?
Although he maintained a calm appearance, his heart was alarmed.
If they were to really fight, he felt that he would be no match for the other party.
It turned out that the outside world was so dangerous. It seemed that his hard work in cultivation in the past had been rather conservative.
…
“Let’s… Let’s fight it with everything we’ve got…”
The burly man’s legs trembled as he shouted for his brothers to attack.
However, his brothers’ legs were all weak and they did not have any power to resist.
This was because the demonic qi of this ghostly figure was too powerful. Mortals like them were unable to hold themselves together even after just encountering its aura.
The ghostly monster suddenly attacked, and a blood light rose into the sky.
The bandit who was closest to it was killed.
“Ah!”
All the bandits’ mental defenses had completely collapsed.
They could only watch helplessly as their companions were killed by the monster, fearing that they might be the next to be killed. They were shrouded in such fear, but there was nothing they could do.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
The bandits were massacred.
They fell to the ground one by one, becoming lifeless corpses.
After the ghostly figure killed all the bandits, its gaze shifted to the corner where Li Ming was.
The huge sense of oppression was now transferred to Li Ming.
“Boom!”
The ghostly figure turned its body. Its body was more than two meters tall, and it slowly walked toward Li Ming.
What a terrifying monster.
Li Ming was secretly shocked. The strength of this ghostly monster was unfathomable.
From the way it killed the bandits just now, he could not find any openings.
If they really fought, how would he fare?
He really had no confidence in being able to win against this monster.
Li Ming faced the ghostly figure, and his body did not sway at all. He stood straight in front of it.
“Chi…”
The ghostly figure seemed to be wearing a white mask, and its facial features looked as if they had been carved out by a carving knife.
Suddenly, the ghostly figure lowered its head and grinned, revealing a terrifying smile.
Li Ming did not move. The beautiful woman was still hiding behind him.
The ghostly figure’s sudden smile made his hair stand on end.
“In terms of physical strength, this monster is probably above me. Moreover, with such a large body, I’m afraid that this monster should be a thousand years old…”
Just as Li Ming was thinking about whether or not he could resist the ghostly figure if he used all his strength…
The beautiful woman behind him finally walked out.
She directly moved right in front of the monster. Compared to the huge ghostly figure, she looked very small.
“Boom!”
The monster suddenly bowed.
Seeing this, Li Ming was a little surprised. The ghostly figure actually bowed to the beautiful woman.
