Chapter 57: Chasing down the bandits!

Second Elder and Third Elder led a group of Xu Family members and Xu Luo to the diamond mine that belonged to their Xu Family and had been completely looted.

This mine was one of the Cui family's properties before, and it was taken over by the Xu Family after they arrived.

The monthly output of diamonds was very stable, and the income accounted for 20% of the Xu Family's total revenue.

But now the mine was a mess, all valuable things were gone, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Seeing the dismembered limbs of the Xu Family members guarding the mine, Second Elder and Third Elder were furious.

"Damn bandits! They deserve to die a thousand deaths!!"

Xu Luo carefully investigated outside the mine, then came back and said, "Second Elder, Third Elder, according to my observation, this group of bandits left the mine and headed east. There is a city six hundred miles to the east, and it's very likely they passed through there, or even stopped."

Second Elder and Third Elder's eyes lit up.

"Then let's set off immediately and pursue them at full speed."

"Go! We must catch them! We'll tear them to pieces!"

They controlled their flying boat and flew east at full speed.

Along the way, Xu Luo confirmed they hadn't changed direction using a tracking secret technique.

After they arrived at the city six hundred miles east of the mine, it was already late, and everyone entered the city to inquire around.

Soon, they got news.

"This group of bandits hasn't left yet, they went to the Dream Drunken Tower to have fun!"

"How dare they! After robbing our Xu Family, they still dare to go enjoy themselves!"

Xu Luo said, "We can't fight inside the city. I suggest you set up a Formation outside the city to wait for them, and I'll monitor near the Dream Drunken Tower."

"Alright! Let's do that!"

The Xu Family members set up a Formation outside the city as Xu Luo suggested, while Xu Luo lingered near the Dream Drunken Tower.

And so, a night passed.

The next morning, the bandits who had enjoyed themselves all night walked out of the Dream Drunken Tower, looking satisfied.

When Xu Luo saw them, he immediately sent a message to Second Elder and Third Elder outside the city, while he himself followed behind them.

There were fifteen of them in total: two in the mid-stage Xuan Dan Realm, three in the early-stage Xuan Dan Realm, and ten in the Naling Realm.

Their overall strength was stronger than the Xu Family's, as the Xu Family only had Second Elder and Third Elder, both in the mid-stage Xuan Dan Realm, effectively lacking three Xuan Dan Realm practitioners compared to them.

"No wonder they were so audacious, they didn't leave even after robbing."

If Xu Luo hadn't followed this time, and it was just Second Elder and Third Elder, even if they successfully found them, they wouldn't be able to defeat them and would very likely be counter-killed.

After this group of bandits left the city, they took out their flying boat and flew towards Moyun Mountain.

However, before the flying boat could even pick up speed, they were stopped by an invisible wall.

The leading bandit was burly with a broad face, and he instantly realized that someone had set up a Formation here.

"Who is it? How dare you block people from our Kuangfeng Stronghold!"

After the Formation was activated, the Xu Family members didn't say a word, and directly attacked them from all directions with their weapons.

What's there to say to a bunch of brutal bandits and robbers? Just kill them.

However, after Xu Luo heard the name 'Kuangfeng Stronghold', he slightly furrowed his brow.

"The Demon Cloud Mountain Range is rampant with bandits, and some powerful strongholds have overall strength comparable to second-rate forces like the Seven Stars Sect. Kuangfeng Stronghold is one of them."

"These bandits are all vengeful. After returning, I must tell Sixth Uncle about this and ask him to remind the Xu Family members to be cautious even if they move to Lingyue City later, and not to leave the city easily."

Xu Luo rushed forward and single-handedly blocked three early-stage Xuan Dan Realm practitioners.

The three were slightly startled when they saw Xu Luo, who had resolute eyes but a young face, then burst into laughter.

"Are you a death seeker, kid? A Naling Realm practitioner actually dares to block the three of us? Ignorance is truly fearless!"

Xu Luo was expressionless, didn't say a word, and raised his hand for a palm strike.

The first style of Brahma Extinction Hand had been refined to perfection by him. The massive fiery palm covered the sky, and the scorching heat seemed to incinerate everything.

"Be careful!!"

Sensing the powerful might within the fiery palm print, they were suddenly startled.

Originally, they hadn't taken Xu Luo seriously, but they didn't expect his palm strike to be so astonishing.

"Boom!!"

The fiery palm print exploded with a bang, like a volcanic eruption, and the sea of flames instantly engulfed the three of them.

"Ahhh!!"

Screams from the three could be heard in the sea of flames. When they rushed out, they were all covered in ash and dirt, their clothes were tattered, and their hair was burned off, making them look like beggars or monks.

The three injured men were enraged and cursed at Xu Luo while pointing at him.

"Go! Kill him!"

"Little brat! I'm going to cut you into a thousand pieces!!"

Xu Luo was unfazed, countering their moves. For a time, the three injured men actually couldn't do anything to Xu Luo.

If they hadn't underestimated Xu Luo initially and hadn't been injured, three early-stage Xuan Dan Realm Cultivators, Xu Luo really couldn't have defeated them.

Unfortunately, their arrogance caused them to underestimate the power of Heavenly Prodigies. After being injured by Xu Luo's palm strike, they couldn't display their full strength, and the three of them together couldn't take down Xu Luo for a long time.

Not far away, Second Elder and Third Elder were also engaged in a fierce battle. They noticed that not only was Xu Luo unharmed, but he had also injured the three, feeling relieved and simultaneously surprised and delighted.

They originally thought they were bringing Xu Luo along to broaden his horizons, but unexpectedly, they relied on Xu Luo throughout the entire process.

It was Xu Luo who led them to find the bandits, and he even helped block the three Xuan Dan Realm bandits.

If Xu Luo hadn't been there, even if they had found this group of bandits, they wouldn't have been able to defeat them.

Now, relying on the Formation they had set up beforehand, the Xu Family held an absolute advantage.

Soon, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea passed.

The ten Naling Realm bandits had been killed, leaving only five Xuan Dan Realm practitioners.

Moreover, it was clear that the three Xuan Dan Realm practitioners Xu Luo was facing were already struggling due to their injuries and were barely holding on.

With the help of other Xu Family members, these three injured bandits were soon killed by Xu Luo.

Now the two mid-stage Xuan Dan Realm bandits were starting to panic.

"Who are you people? Why are you blocking us!" the burly bandit demanded.

Third Elder cursed, "Have you forgotten what you did yesterday? How dare you even ask!!"

The two instantly realized and their expressions changed slightly; they were from the Xu Family.

"It was our fault for stealing your Ore. I'll return everything to you, can you spare our lives?"

Second Elder chuckled, "That's ridiculous. How about I cut off your head and then give it back to you?"

"Stop talking nonsense with them, kill them and avenge our Xu Family members!"

"Avenge them!!"

The Xu Family members were filled with righteous indignation and surrounded them with their weapons.

"You! You can't kill me, I'm a Protector of Kuangfeng Stronghold! If you kill me, your Xu Family won't survive either!"

"Ah…."

The enraged Xu Family members didn't care about Kuangfeng Stronghold or Kuangyu Stronghold. If you killed our Xu Family members, you must pay with your life!
