Ancient Tears BloodLine

Through perception, I observed that the coast is clear. There are no more red clouds appearing in my mind. I made my way towards the wooden house after confirming it. This time I felt no pressure whatsoever. Because of these bandits lives were hanging by a thread.

Without an antidote, it's impossible to save their lives. While strolling, I held a black sword in my hand. First, I reached that foolish bandit warrior who tried to flee earlier. Seeing his unconscious body, I casually swung my sword at his neck.

PFFF

Blood spilled from the enemy's neck. After killing him, I walked silently towards the other one. Like the previous one, he too felt unconscious due to insect bugs' venom.

PFFF

After another swing, I removed two bandits from the team of five. Now, I need to take a look inside the house.

At this time, I observed my surroundings through perception. There is a faint flickering of a red dot. Seeing that, a small smile rose on my face. It looks easier than I thought.

"Creak," the door opens.

My left hand reached for the door knob to unlock it. Then I slowly stepped inside the house and found two unconscious bodies in front of me. My expression immediately condensed.

The leader of the bandit group is as cunning as I had expected. I knew, from my perception, that the leader was hiding in the next room. I didn't look at the two special trainee bandits in front of me. I plan to take care of the leader before coming back to them.

I gripped my sword tightly and moved slowly towards the nearby room. I find that the red dot is not moving at all. With that confidence, I stepped into the next room.

The next moment, I found the leader of the bandit group staring at me. "This guy is conscious," I muttered to myself. I thought he must have been stung by a swarm of insect bugs.

What is happening? A curiosity rose in my heart. But I noticed the feint flickering of the red dots. Suddenly, I realised something. This guy is clearly poisoned right now. But somehow, he is awake.

On the other hand, the bandit leader's pupils constrict. He had never expected someone to come here at this time.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Earlier, he was fortunate enough to swallow an antidote pill in time. Otherwise, the venom would have spread all over his body.

But right now, looking at the single person in front of him, the bandit leader wrinkled his eyebrows. He knew the person in front of him was not part of the bandits. Upon realising that, he feared others might be waiting outside.

Seeing the panic-stricken face of the bandit leader, I chuckled. These bandits used to instil fear in others. Now that he is facing that himself,

Instead of getting closer to him, I halted my footsteps all of a sudden. If the leader was unconscious, I wouldn't think twice about going near him. But right now, the situation is different.

I raised my black sword at him. Seeing that, the leader immediately said, "Why don't we solve it in a peaceful manner?"

I raised my eyebrows for a moment. Even at death's door, the leader is thinking about ways to save his life. A small smile rose on my face. Next, I concentrated on the sword divide rune in my mind.

When the rune begins to flicker, I begin to pour a huge amount of lightning essence to charge the black sword.

Within seconds, the black blade was flickering with purple light. A small thunder clapping sound can be heard from the blade.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the leader got completely dumbstruck. He widened his mouth in horror. "What the..?" He wasn't able to complete his words.

Because his eyes spotted a huge streak of purple energy dashing towards him. His expression became pale with fright.

BOOM

A defeaning sound resonated inside the room.

When the lightning strike landed a hit on the bandit leader, he crashed into the wooden wall.

Due to impact, the wooden wall broke into pieces and fell on his body. Then I wasted no time in ending his life.

After collecting the decapitated head in my storage bracelet. I dragged his body to the outside.

Next, I killed the other two unconcious bandits. After collecting their heads, I used the same methods to dispose of the corpses. It may seem unsightly, but it's necessary for me to do this.

Then I turned towards the wooden house. which is damaged right now. I wonder whether other bandits will notice something or not.

After clearing my mind, I begin to search for the next target.

Time flies in the blink of an eye.

Two days later,

I stayed quiet at night and continued to kill weaker bandit groups at day time. From time to time, I also noticed the appearance of bandit hunting warriors in the inner area.

But I never came forward to greet them. At this point, it's best to have less contact with strangers. Especially after the recent mission notice. It won't be surprising for the bandit hunting teams to fight against each other so soon.

It's easier for them to loot each other items than to fight against strong bandit groups.

For the past two days, I only came across three weaker teams. I had also encountered some Peak-Trainee bandits, but acted swiftly to hide away from them.

The inner area of the insect forest is turning more and more dangerous as Peak-Trainee bandits are also coming out of their hideout. I figured it out. It must be due to the recent mission notice.

The bandit boss perhaps decided to send out Peak-Trainee bandits in his command to send a strong message to others. I'm not confident enough to face off against Peak-Trainee bandits yet.

To replenish my lightning essence, I cultivate at night using the lightning pearl. Without such a treasure, it's impossible for me to use lightning to move against the enemy.

Fighting against the cunning enemy head on is the last thing I want to do. After figuring out their means, I controlled my impulse to use the blood cultivation method.

Only after turning the opponent half dead, I did use my body strength to smash the opponent to death.

While this was going on, the city lord's notice had spread like wildfire to various cities.The reporters and the streamers continue to show the events of the iron post city.

On the second day after the release of the new mission notice, a new wave of warriors touched the land of Iron Post City.

Everyone came to know about the staggering count difference between the bandits and the city warriors (aka bandit hunting warriors).

And the City Lord Mansion never denied anyone from registering for a bandit hunting mission.

At the same time, upon realising the seriousness of the new developments, Mateo Roth was ordered to call back the teams under his command.

Before the new mission notice, the teams under his command had suffered enough from the hands of bandits.

Since, the new wave of warriors is coming. He doesn't want the teams under his command to suffer anymore.

He also spoke with the other four leaders to end their cooperation. It's not wise to stick to the reason for the black fist team's annihilation. Because before them, there is other challenges.

The other four leaders were also happy to end their cooperation. Even Morgan had a small smile on his face. Before, he wanted to discuss it with his team. But who would have thought his wish was granted by Mateo Roth?

Except, Fire Sword Team. The four other teams venture into the inner area of the insect forest. Like Morgan, everyone had decided to kill as many bandit leaders as possible to get reward money.

Only Mateo Roth remained indifferent after calling back the teams under his command. He shifted back to the luxurious hotel in Iron Post City. He also lost interest in his family tasks.

Mateo decided it was best for him to return to his family after seeing the bandit boss and city lord begin to awaken.His family elders had told him to wait. But Mateo doesn't know how long it will take for the situation to worsen.

So instead of worrying about the outside turmoil, Mateo simply stayed inside his hotel room. He had numerous resources in his hands to cultivate quietly in the room.

As their leader made his decision, Carla Gill and others in his team also chose to follow him. They too stopped caring about the outside disturbance.

The Fire Sword Team's inaction was quickly noticed by a few people. In particular, spies sent by the EastWood Company. The spies immediately sent the information back to the old man, Tucker Nelson.

Apart from Mateo Roth, Tucker Nelson is the second person in the city who is pissed off by the recent developments. He had holed out his wallet to collect information from the City Lord Mansion.

After spending so much money, he had failed to find clues about the Black Fist team's destruction. On top of that, he had never expected the situation to worsen for the Fire Sword Team.

The clashes that happened between bandits and Mateo Roth's other teams totally caught him off guard.
