Slaughter

Bang!

The man was instantly sent flying, crashing into a tree.

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

"Dad!"

"Dear!"

The man's wife and child could only cry helplessly at the sight of their loved one's miserable state.

The man raised his head unwillingly and glared at the short bandit. If looks could kill, his gaze would have slaughtered that dwarf ten thousand times over.

"Hmph! Useless trash!"

"I'll send your child to the Western Heaven, then take good care of your wife."

"Hehe."

As he spoke, he slowly walked toward the group.

"Bastard! Stop right there!"

The man tried to rise.

But a bandit beside him stomped him back to the ground.

"No!"

Watching the short bandit step by step toward his wife and child,

the man's eyes filled with despair.

Seeing this, the woman's face was written with despair, yet she still fiercely shielded the child in her arms.

"Hehe, little lady, here I come."

The short bandit licked his lips. Combined with the pockmarks all over his face, he was utterly revolting.

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

"What a pack of filthy maggots!"

Hearing that voice, everyone looked toward where it had come from.

Thud, thud, thud!

A burst of hoofbeats rang out from nearby.

Soon, a figure appeared before them.

The man rode a tall, powerful horse, and his body was exceptionally tall and brawny as well.

The newcomer was Qin Hao!

This was the only road leading through Qingshi County. When Qin Hao had just arrived, he had seen from a distance the short bandit kicking the man.

He immediately knew these people were bandits who killed without batting an eye, so he spurred his horse and rushed over.

The moment the bandit leader saw Qin Hao's build, he knew at once that this burly man was no ordinary person!

He immediately assumed a posture as though facing a great enemy and stared at Qin Hao.

"Who might you be, sir? Why are you interfering in our affairs?"

"I hope..."

Before he could finish, Qin Hao cut him off.

"Shut up! I have no interest in listening to trash like you speak."

Qin Hao looked down coldly at the bandits before him.

As he spoke, a terrifying aura radiated from his body.

"Neigh!"

"Neigh!"

The bandits' horses seemed to have been frightened by something and began to panic!

The mounted bandits were all thrown from their startled horses.

"Ow! What the hell is going on?"

"Have these horses gone mad?"

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

He knew it was the killing intent emanating from the man before him that had terrified all the horses.

The short bandit did not pay much attention to this. He looked at Qin Hao and snarled viciously.

"You little brat, my big brother was speaking to you properly, yet you don't know what's good for you!"

"Watch me split you alive!"

With that, he lowered his stance and charged fiercely at Qin Hao.

Seeing his brother about to chop Qin Hao down, the bandit leader immediately panicked. He knew the man before them was no simple person—otherwise, why would he carry such killing intent?

"Don't, Second Brother!"

He hurriedly shouted to stop his underling's foolish actions.

"Don't worry, Big Brother! Watch me chop this brat apart for being so disrespectful to you!"

"How about it, brat? Kneel and apologize to my big brother, and I might spare your life!"

The puffed-up short bandit looked at Qin Hao.

Seeing Qin Hao standing completely still, he assumed Qin Hao had been scared stupid and taunted him.

Yet Qin Hao remained as steady as a mountain. His cold gaze treated the man no differently from a corpse, and he only spoke two words.

"Idiot."

The short bandit heard Qin Hao's two words but did not understand them. Still, he could understand the contempt written all over Qin Hao's face.

The short bandit's rage instantly shot through the roof.

"You're courting death!"

With that, he raised his broadsword and slashed at Qin Hao.

"Stop, you idiot!"

The bandit leader blurted out.

But it was already too late. The blade struck Qin Hao squarely on the neck!

Seeing Qin Hao stand there without daring to move, letting himself be cut, the short bandit thought Qin Hao had been frightened senseless and was secretly delighted.

But the instant his blade struck Qin Hao's neck, he sensed that something was terribly wrong.

A deafening clang! rang out.

The broadsword shattered instantly. How could he be this hard?!

It felt as though he had struck an iron block, while a sharp pain shot through the web between his thumb and forefinger.

Everyone wore expressions of shock!

"How is that possible?"

"Hey, hey, hey, my eyes aren't playing tricks on me, are they? The Second Boss's blade broke?"

"Am I dreaming?"

"Ow! Why the hell did you hit me?!"

"Didn't you ask whether you were dreaming? Now you know."

Unlike the others, those people all revealed joyous expressions.

"We're saved!"

"This man must be an expert!"

"Hahaha, we're saved!"

On the other side, the bandits' faces were filled with terror.

"How could this happen? How could it..."

The short bandit stared at his broken broadsword and fell into deep thought.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Hao in horror.

"Who exactly are you?"

Qin Hao looked coldly at the short man before reaching a huge hand toward the short bandit's head.

"Wait!"

The captured short bandit tried to say something, but Qin Hao seized him by the head.

A tearing sound rang out.

The short bandit's head and body separated in an instant. Qin Hao had torn the bandit's head off alive, creating an extremely bloody scene.

A fountain of blood sprayed from the torso, splattering all over Qin Hao.

"Pah! Who the hell are you trying to act tough for?"

As he spoke, Qin Hao tossed the short bandit's head toward the bandit leader.

"There, your little brother's head."

He looked at him with utter disgust.

The bandit leader only caught his little brother's head instinctively and stood frozen in place.

He had no idea what had happened. It was as if he had only seen his little brother's head suddenly vanish.

"Ah!"

A bandit's scream shattered the brief silence!

More than a dozen bandits looked at blood-covered Qin Hao as though they had seen a ghost.

"Run!"

"Damn it, what is this?!"

"Damn it, I quit!"

"Run now! We'll die!"

"Damn it, it's a monster!"

The bandits scattered in all directions.

"Don't run! You can't escape! At worst, we fight him!"

The bandit leader finally came to his senses and shouted at the fleeing bandits.

"Fight your ass!"

"If you want to fight, fight him yourself, damn it!"

Those bandits did not listen to their boss at all and hurriedly fled in every direction.

"Damn it!"

The bandit leader shouted unwillingly, knowing he was certainly no match for the invulnerable monster before him.

Then he assumed a defensive stance and stared fixedly at Qin Hao, waiting for him to attack.

"You wait there for a moment."

As he spoke, Qin Hao bent down and grabbed a handful of pebbles from the ground.

Assuming the stance of throwing a baseball, he hurled the pebbles explosively at the fleeing bandits.

The pebbles were like bullets, reaping the bandits' lives.

"Ah!"

"Ah, help!"

The bandits' screams rang out from all around.

Some had their hearts pierced and died, while others had their heads directly blasted apart by the pebbles, not even knowing how they had died.

Very soon, Qin Hao had slaughtered every last bandit. Then he turned and looked at the bandit leader standing nearby with vacant eyes.
