Supreme Emperor of Mist

Chapter 123: Hushan Bandits, Retaliates! (2)

"Come, let me feed you some porridge." a man chuckled as he slowly moves the spoon in his hand closer to the one leaning on top of the bed.

"Go - Go away. I can eat myself. I don't need you to feed me." Lu Yi tried to push Huo Zunjie away as that guy tries to be playful around him.

Behind the two of them, Lu Qing Yun, Yi Feng, and the others were laughing so hard as they knew that Huo Zunjie was doing this on purpose to mess with Lu Yi.

"Qing Yun... Big brother Yi doesn't want me to feed him..." Huo Zunjie pouted and passed the bowl to her.

"Ah... Let me see... Should I put in some Jewel Rock Lotus inside to make the porridge taste better?" Lu Qing Yun sat beside Lu Yi and took a bottle out from her waist pocket.

"No - No... I'll eat. Please put that aside..." Lu Yi was nervous.

"Really?" Lu Qing Yun asked. The spoon is coming closer.

"Yes..." Lu Yi nodded.

"Just eat! Unless you want me to force the whole bowl into you, you better be obedient and start drinking it." Lu Qing Yun's temperament changed upside down as she shoved the spoon into Lu Yi's mouth.

"Ahhh! Hot! Mmm... Mmm..." Lu Yi wanted to cry the moment Lu Qing Yun returned to her usual self.

"Huo Zunjie! I'll give you a lesson when I got better. Mmm... Mmm... Hot! Ah!" his suffering continued. The others were hugging one another as they were surprised by Lu Qing Yun's attitude.

'Always remember... Your sister Qing Yun's gentle treatment is only given to our third young master... This is what you can expect from her if you pissed her off.' Huo Zunjie chuckled as he left after whispering beside their ears.

"Did Lu Yi just screamed?" Qin Lan pushed aside the curtain around the tent's entrance as he steps inside.

And upon hearing Qin Lan's voice, Lu Qing Yun's actions were even quicker as she shoved a few mouthfuls of porridge into Lu Yi's mouth. Even crying wouldn't help as Lu Yi's face soon turned into a burning red kettle from Lu Qing Yun's force-feeding.

"What's wrong?" Qin Lan asked. Even he's puzzled by the sight of Lu Yi struggling on top of the bed with a flushed face and constantly shaking head.

"I - I..." Lu Yi wanted to speak, but the burn on his tongue is too much for him right now.

"Just lie down. I'll give you a few more poke here and there before I'll return to sleep. You better control yourself from acting so reckless next time." Qin Lan unrolls his acupuncture pouch on a table as he flicked Lu Yi's head.

(Why is there nobody speaking on my behalf!!!)

He had the urge to cry right here, right now.

...

...

...

"Ah... No!" the sound of a woman was ravaged by a group of men can be heard from the depth of the bandit's den. Furthermore, more than one woman is subjected to this treatment right now.

"How delicious... I can't get enough of this kind of cultivation method at all. Come here, ahahaha..." Xiong Jie said. He grabbed another victim of his from the floor and started to violate her body.

It was a den of lust. The body was humping another body almost in all available corners inside this bandit's hideout.

If one were to look carefully at the female's gaze, they're not filled with lust but emptiness. There's no longer a hint of the soul remained in their body.

And the further their body connected, the more lifespan of theirs was sucked by the five bandits leader. This continued until they collapsed on the ground, one after another.

The last woman was considered the most pitiful one to be ravaged by all five of them before she succumbs to her death. Originally a beautiful maiden with a plump figure, she was sucked to the point her flesh shriveled to a mummified figure as she fell.

"This feels so good..." the bandit leaders slowly dressed up as they tossed the dead corpses aside. Soon, a few younger bandits came inside the room to drag them away.

"Let's go. It's time we teach those government dogs a lesson." Lang Xue laughed as the majority of bandits left their stronghold under the night and moon.

...

...

...

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the bell rang as the soldiers positioned inside the camp hurried to their designated post.

"Move-in! Don't allow a single soldier to escape today!" the bandits, led by their respective leader, said. And after both sides are somewhat prepared to engage against their enemies, an order to attack is quickly issued.

A heated battle immediately ensued in the morning.

Unknown from which way they came from, the bandits launched an attack at the subjugation forces. Furthermore, their numbers were twice the number of Sun Wu Jian's forces.

"There's too much bandit! How can there be almost as much as the people from our Xiyun City?" Qin Qin and Qin Huang struggled as their strength was considered the weakest in the entire Qin Faction.

Even those servants that belonged to You Qing, Yi Feng, Leng Xue, and Qiang Shou's team were much better than them in cultivation.

"Silver Willow Dance!"

"Golden Bell Sword Wave!"

"Golden Lord's Holy Fist!"

Heavenly Flicking Fingers!"

Attack after attack filled with Spiritual Energy spread outwards as Qin Lan and the others from his faction fought against the bandits. Based on their current situation, even Qin Lan dare not to say that he can push the bandits back with his strength alone.

"Maintain your formation. Do not allow any of the bandit to come further!" the officer of Sun Wu Jian tried his best to command his soldiers at this time, but there's only so much he can do.

In a battle of over a thousand cultivators, lives were nothing but dolls woven using straws and grasses. Even a simple trample could destroy their existence right here.

"Bring him back into the camp!" You Qing ordered as he rescued Yi Feng from one of the bandit's eighth-level Flesh Cultivator. He was struggling to keep this powerful opponent from moving around and kill more of them.

"Do you think you can stop me with a mere sixth-level cultivation of yours? Don't make me laugh. Even ten of you here can't hold me from rampaging all the way into your camp!" the bandit said.

He's indeed as strong as Gou Ye in many ways.

"If he can't, what about me?" a sword clad in bronze hue was swung on the bandit and forced him to a retreat.

"Golden Bell Echo!"

**Bang!**

The outburst of Spiritual Energy forced the bandit to a retreat six to seven steps back. But in exchange for the reckless move once again, it made Lu Yi's wound worst.

**Ahem...**

Lu Yi coughed a mouthful of blood after executing two attacks at once.

"You fool. Do you really want to lie on the bed for an entire week?" Hou Zunjie came to support Lu Yi from falling onto the ground. The Yin Ling Jian was pointed at the eighth-level bandit as he held onto Lu Yi in his other hand.

"You Qing, drag him back as well. I'll take care of this." Huo Zunjie said.

"Leave senior brother Lu Yi to me. Please be careful." You Qing held the injured Lu Yi on his shoulder as he brought him further from the battlefield.

"Now, shall we continue?" Huo Zunjie swings his sword randomly as he provokes the bandit to make a move first.

...

Not far from the battlefield...

"Not bad, little missy. You're much stronger than that two half-step Bone Cultivators over there!" a bandit leader under Xiong Jie's command said after he repelled Qin Chan's attack. His weapon of choice was a long hammer, which was said to be the bane of all swords.

"This is going to be difficult..." Qin Chan hesitates. Although there's another weapon in her Purple-Dragon Spatial Jade, it was reserved only to be used in a critical time.

"Let's continue. Show me the strength of a disciple from Cloud Plucking Sect!" the half-step Bone Bandit said as he raised his long hammer. Using both of his head to propel himself forward like a bouncing pebble, the bandit roared as he forced his Spiritual Energy out.

...

But no matter how heated their battle all around the middle convoy, it was not comparable to what was happening in the vanguard convoy and supply convoy.

It was an explosion of Spiritual Energy in the Ten Miles Plain. Even Sun Wu Jian was forced to join the battle with his recently advanced eight-level strength.

As for the supply convoy, the situation is somewhat looking grim to Sun Wu Jian's forces.

A river of blood flowing away from the Third Milestone checkpoint as corpses from both forces piled on the ground. Right here on this battlefield, there were less than a hundred soldiers are still standing on the ground as they struggled to fight against the remaining five hundred or so bandits.

"Move forward! Slaughter all the government dogs!" Wu Yao said as he aimed his crossbow at his next target.
