Chapter 18: Sweeping Bandits(4)

Chapter 18: Sweeping Bandits(4)

Inside a bandit's den. A man is tied to a cross with bloody wounds and torn clothes. In front of him is a crazy-looking man.

The crazy-looking man is thin, has a long tongue, dark circles around his eyes, and dark lips. He is wearing black fitted clothes, armor, and arm guards. He's licking the blood from a dagger that stabbed and cut the man tied to the cross.

"Hmm, your blood tastes bad. You ruin my appetite," Viper stabbed the shoulder of the tied man and twists it.

"Ahhhhh!" The man screams in agony.

"Hahahaha! Scream! Scream more! Hahahaha!" Viper closes his eyes and listens to the scream. It sounds like a symphony to him. He was a hidden killer trained by a count who joined Duke George. His master was also killed by the king.

Viper clapped his hands.

"Everyone, clap your hands! This man deserves our admiration! He betrayed us but refuses to say who he worked for!"

Everyone claps, whistles, and laughs.

Viper looks at the man and licks his lips,"I admire your tenacity! But I'm curious if you can still keep it after you see my gift. Bring out my gift!"

A bandit leads a tied woman. She has golden hair and is wearing a simple white dress. She is crying and biting her lips to prevent herself from howling as she sees her husband is in a very miserable state.

The man tied to the cross cries when he saw his wife captured by the bandits.

"I-I'm so sorry," He can only apologize. Calvin was ready to die when he decided to infiltrate the bandit den. His sister was killed by the bandits. Many lives are destroyed by the Black Snake Bandits.

The prince will send royal guards that will destroy bandits but need intelligence. Calvin volunteered to become a spy because he saw the opportunity for revenge and the destruction of the snake bandits. Many people's lives will be saved once the bandit den is gone. He told his wife, Martha, the plan and told her to hide. He did not expect that his wife would be captured.

"Hahahaha! Now, hero! What will be your choice?! Your wife or your secret?! Choose!" Viper is playfully looking at Calvin while his long tongue is swaying.

Both the husband and wife are looking at each other. They are crying, feeling sorry for each other. They both resigned to their fate. They will not betray the prince. This is the only opportunity for their village and many other people to be free from the ravages caused by snake bandits. Even if they die, they will at least prevent the future suffering of families. They both lost a family member to the bandits. Martha is proud of her husband. Calvin is a hero.

"Attack!" Feiyu signals the archers to attack. The archers stand up on trees and started shooting arrows. Feiyu and other guards are hiding on trees near the wooden wall of the den. He saw Calvin being tortured and did not betray them, even when his wife's life is being threatened. As an aura master, he can see the expressions of both husband and wife who are ready to die. The prince will definitely like to cultivate people like Calvin and Martha. He needs to save both the husband and wife.

Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Several arrows were shot. They are just ordinary arrows. Magic arrows are not necessary for ants. The archers are so fast that many sentries and bandits on walls are killed. Bandits inside the stockade are looking at the show orchestrated by Viper. They did not notice the approaching royal guards.

"Archers remain on the wall and keep shooting, giving support where it is needed. Someone must keep shooting Viper with a magic arrow. Protect the husband and wife, and shoot anyone that tries to kill them. Others, free kill!" Feiyu ordered while moving.

Feiyu and the royal guards quickly approach the den. They applied aura to their feet, and they all jumped on the wooden wall.

Archers attack first. Arrows fly and always reach a target.

"Kill!" Other guards released their aura and jumped down. They charge to bandits that still haven't recovered from shock.

An arrow that looks like a water beam is shot at Viper. Viper already noticed the royal guards when they used their aura to jump on the wall. He tilted his head and avoided the magic arrow. The arrow hit a bandit behind Viper and turned into ice. Viper moves forward to let himself be targeted with more arrows. He spread his hands and closed his eyes while avoiding the magic arrows. He has a smile on his face.

Boom! Boom! Fire Arrows keep being shot but Viper avoided them with ease. He is like having a graceful dance.

"Crazy Bastard!" Cursed by the royal guard shooting magic arrows at Viper.

"Hihihihi, it's been a while since I heard this sound of battle. Hmmm, I smells the scent of death. My mind wants to run away from here, but hehehehehe," Viper embraces his trembling body. His face is smiling. His body is trembling from excitement!

"Ahhhh, my body moves on its own. It's been longing for a hearty battle that puts me on the edge of death. Hihihihi, it's really been a long time, hahahaha!" Viper laughs. He did not stop moving. His face is like a pervert, he licks his lips while he runs to the royal guards.

"Sick bastard! Die!" The royal guard had just cut a bandit when he noticed that Viper is moving toward him. He also heard what Viper was saying. He feels disgusted by the way Viper looks at him. He slashed his sword, then a wind blade moves to Viper.

Viper is like a loach. He easily avoided it by doing some footwork and twisting his flexible body. The guard attacked with abother wind blade. Viper is already in front of the royal guard when he avoided the second wind blade. The guard seriously looks at Viper as he put more aura to his sword.

"Hehehhhe Hihihihi!" Viper's body is trembling while laughing, and his eyes and expression are like those of a crazy pervert. The guard swings his sword at Viper with a horizontal slash. Viper is like elastic rubber. His upper body bent outward. He rotates his body as he moves forward. He arrived at the side of the guard. They are done by Viper in an instant. Viper's right hand grabbed the face of the guard and smashed the head to the ground.

Boom! The ground is broken when the head hit the ground.

"Eeik!" The guard felt pain. It felt like a hammer smashed the back of his head. Blood leaks from his mouth. The nearby guards attack Viper when they saw him nearly killing a guard. Guards want to smash that perverted face, but Viper easily avoided them. Magic skills and martial skills keep flying, but none of them touched Viper's clothes.

WATERFALL

A big flash of water came from the sky. It crashed where Viper was standing. Viper moves to his back. His fight with the guards is interrupted.

"Retreat! You are not his opponent. Leave him to me. Heal the injured guard," Feiyu ordered the guards. Feiyu is standing not far from Viper. His long black hair is swaying.He has a handsome face and a calm expression. He gave his helmet to Calvin as added protection. He is concerned for the promising man that accidental debris to his head might kill him because he still cannot move.

Feiyu was actually moving toward Viper when they jumped down from the wall, but Viper is cunning and moved away from him. Feiyu was delayed because he had to help Calvin.

"Hihihihihi, I was planning to play with your friends first, but you interrupted our fun." Viper licks his lips while looking at the handsome face of Feiyu.

"I will skin your face and use it to fool women! Hihihihi hahahaha!" said Viper.

Feiyu moved into a palm stance and released his aura. He instantly moved in front of Viper and threw a palm strike at Viper's face. Viper slightly tilted his head, neck, and upper body to the side and twisted them like usual, which was effective against the guards earlier.

"Puchi-" Viper's cheek is hit by Feiyu, and some of his teeth are thrown from his mouth. He flew a few meters away. Feiyu responded to Viper's provocation not through words but through action!
