BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6 Hero Saving The Beauty (2)
He was able to easily follow the path that it came at him at and he then dodged out of the way without any problem. But that didn\'t mean that it was all over yet.
Behind the first bandit that swung his sword at him, were two bandits swinging out at him at the same time. One sword came from the left and one sword came from the right, trying to cut him in half.
Lin Fan just simply took a step back and moved out of the range of the swords, letting them swing by right in front of him.
When the bandits saw this, they all stopped moving as they turned to the boss.
The boss had an ugly look on his face as if he had realized something, but he knew that he couldn\'t back down now.
Going back a few minutes, when Lin Fan was still having a mental breakdown, the bandits had slowly come back to their senses.
"Cultivator, he\'s a cultivator!"
"We have to get out of here! We aren\'t a match for him at all!"
The bandit subordinates shouted as they looked at Lin Fan with terror.
The bandit boss didn\'t say a thing as he stared at Lin Fan while he was having his breakdown. However, what he had in his eyes wasn\'t fear or shock anymore, rather it was a look of excitement.
He could tell that this young cultivator wasn\'t someone that was used to fighting, it was most likely his first time being out on his own like this.
Even if someone like this had the great powers of a cultivator, he was someone who didn\'t know how to use them at all.
Since that was the case, it wouldn\'t be hard for them to kill this person.
For ordinary people like them, cultivators were at a level that they could never touch. To put it simply, they were nothing more than ants in the eyes of the cultivators.
So naturally normal people also wanted to become cultivators.
This was a golden chance for them since they had met this naive cultivator who didn\'t have any combat experience. As long as they were able to kill him and take his cultivation technique…They would be able to become cultivators as well!
Driven by this greed, the boss shouted at his subordinates, "Calm down all of you. Can\'t you see that he\'s just a kid who doesn\'t have any experience with fighting at all? As long as we work together, we can take him out."
Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of his subordinates, the boss then said, "This kid clearly doesn\'t have any experience fighting, so he won\'t be able to keep up with our formation. So what if he\'s strong? Can he keep up with us? As long as we slowly wear down his spiritual energy, he\'ll be a normal person once he uses it all up, won\'t he?"
Hearing this, the subordinates started to calm down as traces of confidence appeared in their eyes.
They knew that their boss was right and they couldn\'t stop the greed that started to fill their hearts.
These people were weak against this kind of greed, or else they wouldn\'t have become bandits.
There was only a slight moment of hesitation before the bandits decided to go all out against Lin Fan.
It was just too bad that they had already missed their timing.
After Lin Fan dodged their attacks, the bandits were first shocked before knowing that this situation wasn\'t good for them. They had thought that this kid was someone who didn\'t know how to fight at all, but he had easily dodged their attacks which a normal person couldn\'t do.
After a small pause, the bandit boss quickly raised his hand and shouted, "Run!"
Without even caring about the rest of his subordinates, the bandit boss turned and started to run.
Seeing this, the other bandits all began scattering in different directions.
Lin Fan didn\'t know what to do at first, but then he quickly chased after them since he knew that he couldn\'t let them escape.
When he caught up to the bandit that was closest to him, the bandit quickly turned and swung his sword at Lin Fan. However, Lin Fan was able to easily dodge it and grab the sword from his hand before using it to slash him.
Then without any hesitation, Lin Fan charged right at the other bandits and cut them down one by one until there was only the bandit boss left.
The bandit boss fell to the ground and begged, "Lord cultivator, please don\'t kill me. I\'ll give you everything that I have if you just let me go."
Lin Fan looked down at him before letting the sword in his hand fall.
Of course, he was still holding the sword as it fell and he cut the bandit boss\' head off with that sword.
When it was finally over, Lin Fan\'s eyes relaxed before they suddenly filled with a look of realization.
Looking around and seeing all the bandit corpses on the ground, Lin Fan revealed a look of disbelief as he looked down at his own blood soaked hands.
He couldn\'t understand what had just happened. It was almost as if something had taken over his body and he hadn\'t been able to stop it even though he knew it was wrong.
Lin Fan couldn\'t help looking at the Mental Fortitude skill that had appeared in his status.
It seemed like his thoughts had become completely different after he had received this skill…He no longer followed his emotions like before, but rather he followed pure logic now…
He knew the reason why he had killed these bandits so decisively.
It was very simple, it was because of what he had heard before.
Even if they hadn\'t found him this time, they would have come for him sooner or later since the Snow Rabbit that he saved was the one that had escaped from them.
Not to mention that these people, the way that they acted…It was clear that they had done some bad things before or they wouldn\'t act this way.
But according to his memories, this was what this land was. A land that was ruled by power alone, where one was only bound by how strong they were. The weak suffered and the strong thrived, that would be the motto of this land.
All of these reasons came together in his head and he finally decided that the safest way was to kill them to prevent any future problems.
However, Lin Fan knew that this wasn\'t what someone like him raised in a world governed by laws would think.
So the only reason he could be this decisive…
Had to be the Mental Fortitude skill.
He didn\'t like what it turned him into. Even now, seeing these dead bodies, he didn\'t feel a thing unlike earlier when he almost had a mental breakdown from killing the first person.
Lin Fan gathered his thoughts and quickly came to a decision.
No matter how this world changed him, at the very least, he would live by what he considered right. That way, he wouldn\'t let down the god that had given him this second life.
After taking that moment to calm his mind, Lin Fan started cleaning up the area.
He knew that he couldn\'t leave the corpses like this or else beasts and such would be attracted. As well, there was the horse carriage that the bandits had left behind. It wasn\'t as if he could just leave it in the middle of the road.
Well, he could leave the carriage, but the horse didn\'t do anything wrong. The only mistake that the horse ever made was being bought or captured by the wrong people and even then, it wasn\'t the horse\'s mistake.
So at the very least, he would let the horse go.
Lin Fan started moving the various corpses that had been scattered around the area, bringing them to a pile on the side of the road. As for why he brought them to this side of the road, there was already a ditch that he could just dump the bodies in already there.
Lin Fan found that it was quite easy lifting the bodies over and when it was time to push the corpses into the ditch, it only took him a single push.
After pushing them all in, Lin Fan couldn\'t help looking down at his own hands before giving a nod of appreciation.
The body that the god of Earth gave him really was a good one, he was very grateful for it.
Once those bodies were taken care of, Lin Fan went back to the carriage to check it out.
Surprisingly, the horse was very calm when he approached and even let him pet it on its head. He could tell that this horse wasn\'t a normal horse and he couldn\'t help wondering where these bandits had found it.
As he was petting the horse, he suddenly heard a noise from the carriage which caught him off guard.
He immediately jumped back and raised his guard, but seeing that nothing was coming out of the horse carriage, he couldn\'t help feeling curious as to what the noise was.
The moment he opened it, he saw a beautiful girl who had her arms and legs bound and her mouth gagged lying inside.
It took him a few seconds to process this, but once he did, he couldn\'t help thinking to himself, "Isn\'t this too cliche?"
