Slaughter

With a bang!

The man was instantly sent flying backward, smashing into a tree.

A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out.

"Dad!"

"Honey!"

The man's wife and child could only cry out helplessly as they saw their loved one's tragic state.

Unwilling to accept it, the man looked up at the short bandit. If looks could kill, his gaze could have annihilated the short man ten thousand times over.

"Hmph! Useless!"

"Let me send your child to the afterlife, and then I'll take good care of your wife."

"Heh heh."

Saying this, he slowly walked toward the group.

"Bastard! Stop right there!"

The man tried to get up.

But he was stomped underfoot by a bandit beside him.

"No!"

Watching the short bandit walk step by step toward his wife and child, the man's eyes began to fill with despair.

The woman, seeing this, had despair written all over her face, but she was still fiercely protecting the child in her arms.

"Heh heh, pretty lady, here I come."

The short bandit licked his lips, and his pockmarked face was utterly disgusting.

Just as his hand was about to touch the woman, a voice broke the silence.

"What a bunch of filthy bugs!"

Hearing the voice, everyone looked in the direction it came from.

Thump thump thump!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed from not far away.

Soon, a figure appeared before them.

The person was riding a tall horse and was also exceptionally tall and sturdy.

It was Qin Hao!

This was a necessary route through Qingshi County. Qin Hao had just arrived when he saw the short bandit kicking the man not far away.

He knew immediately that these people were bloodthirsty bandits, so he spurred his horse on.

Upon seeing Qin Hao's figure, the leading bandit instantly knew that this sturdy man before him was no ordinary person!

He immediately adopted a stance as if facing a formidable enemy and stared at Qin Hao, saying, "Who are you? Why are you interfering in our affairs!"

"We hope…"

Before he could finish, Qin Hao interrupted him.

"Shut up! I don't have the mood to listen to trash like you."

Qin Hao looked down at the bandits before him with a cold expression.

As he spoke, a terrifying aura emanated from him.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

The horses beneath the bandits, as if startled, began to stir restlessly!

The bandits on horseback were all thrown off by their spooked mounts.

"Ouch! What's going on!"

"Are these horses going crazy?"

The bandit leader looked at Qin Hao with a grave expression.

He knew it was all because of the killing intent emanating from the man before him that even the horses were frightened.

The short bandit didn't pay much attention to this. He looked at Qin Hao and said fiercely, "Brat, my big brother is talking to you properly, and you dare to be so ungrateful!"

"Watch me tear you apart alive!"

With that, he stomped his foot and charged fiercely toward Qin Hao.

The bandit leader panicked when he saw his brother about to attack Qin Hao. He knew this person wasn't simple; otherwise, why would he exude such killing intent?

"No, Second Brother!"

He quickly called out to stop his subordinate's foolish actions.

"Don't worry, Big Brother! Watch me take this kid down. How dare he be so disrespectful to you!"

"Well, kid! Kneel down and apologize to my big brother, and I might spare your life!"

The arrogant, short bandit looked at Qin Hao.

Seeing Qin Hao standing still, the bandit thought he was too scared to move and continued to provoke him.

Qin Hao remained motionless, his cold eyes looking at the bandit as if he were already dead. He simply uttered two words.

"Idiot."

The short bandit heard Qin Hao say two words, but he didn't understand them. However, he could see the contemptuous expression on Qin Hao's face.

This instantly filled the short bandit with rage.

"You're asking for death!"

With that, he brandished his large saber and swung it at Qin Hao.

"Stop it, you idiot!"

The bandit leader blurted out.

But it was too late. The saber strike landed precisely on Qin Hao's neck!

Seeing Qin Hao frozen in fear and allowing himself to be struck, the short bandit believed Qin Hao was terrified and felt smug.

However, as the saber hit Qin Hao's neck, he felt a sense of dread.

With a loud "Clang!" sound.

The large saber instantly snapped. How could it be so hard?

It felt like he had struck a piece of iron, and a sharp pain shot through his hand.

Everyone present looked on in shock!

"How is this possible?"

"Hey, hey, hey, am I seeing things? The Second Boss's saber broke?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Ouch! Why are you hitting me?"

"Didn't you just ask if I was dreaming? See, now you know."

In contrast to the bandits' shock, the bystanders showed expressions of joy.

"We're saved!"

"This person must be an expert!"

"Hahaha, we're saved!"

On the other hand, the bandits looked terrified.

"How could this happen! How is this possible?"

The short bandit stared at his broken saber, lost in thought.

He looked up, his face filled with terror as he gazed at Qin Hao.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qin Hao looked coldly at the short bandit before him and reached out with a large hand towards the bandit's head.

"Wait!"

The short bandit, now in Qin Hao's grasp, tried to say something more, but Qin Hao seized his head.

With a sharp "Screech!" sound.

The short bandit's head was instantly separated from his body. Qin Hao tore the bandit's head off with his bare hands, creating a gruesome scene.

A gush of blood sprayed from the severed torso, splattering Qin Hao.

"Tch! What a show-off."

Qin Hao then tossed the bandit's head towards the bandit leader.

"Here, your subordinate's head."

He looked at him with disdain.

The bandit leader instinctively caught his subordinate's head and stood frozen.

He didn't even know what had happened; it was as if his subordinate's head had simply vanished.

"Ah!"

A bandit's scream broke the momentary silence!

The dozen or so bandits looked as if they had seen a ghost, staring at Qin Hao covered in blood.

"Run!"

"Damn it, what is this?!"

"Screw this, I'm out!"

"Quick, run! We'll die."

"They're a monster!"

The bandits scattered in all directions.

"Don't run! You can't escape, let's sell our lives dearly!"

The bandit leader finally reacted, shouting at the fleeing bandits.

"Sell our lives dearly, my ass!"

"If you want to sell yours, go ahead, damn it!"

Those bandits didn't listen to their boss, quickly fleeing in all directions.

"Damn it!"

The bandit leader shouted unwillingly, knowing he was no match for the monster before him who was impervious to blades and spears.

He then assumed a defensive stance, staring intently at Qin Hao, waiting for him to attack.

"Wait a moment."

Saying this, he bent down and picked up stones from the ground.

He assumed a baseball pitcher's stance and forcefully hurled the stones at the fleeing bandits.

The stones were like bullets, reaping the lives of the bandits.

"Ah!"

"Ah, help me!"

The bandits' screams echoed from all around.

Some bandits were shot through the heart and died, while others had their heads blown apart by the stones, dying without even knowing how.

Soon, Qin Hao had slaughtered all the bandits. He then turned around to face the petrified bandit leader.
