Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Standing behind a rock only a few dozen meters away from the bandits, the group of three all readied their weapons.

"Me and Qing Yi will take care of the three Foundation Establishment Realm bandits, Huang Yongyu will be the one to take care of the Qi Condensation Realm bandits… Is that fine with you two?"

""Yes!""

Seeing both Qing Yi and Huang Yongyu agree to the plan, Chu Yang nodded approvingly before signalling for them to move out.

Whoosh~

Like that, they rushed over towards the bandits.

"Wha-"

Ptch!

Huang Yongyu instantly killing the one closest to them without any hesitation before moving on to the next, while Chu Yang and Qing Yi moved towards the mountain cave where the three Foundation Establishment bandits were located.

Huang Yongyu being left behind as he easily took care of the Qi Condensation Realm bandits without any problem. Even Chu Yang felt a bit impressed when he saw how easily he killed off the bandits with his sword dancing through the air as he easily cut down bandit after bandit.

Fwoosh!

"That should be the Foundation Establishment Realm bandits…"

The moment Qing Yi and Chu Yang entered the mountain cave, three distinct auras flared up.

Two of them were similar to Huang Yongyu, being at the first stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the last one was way more powerful. Having reached close to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"The bandit leader is way stronger than expected! Qing Yi, deal with the two bandits at the first stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, I will deal with the leader!"

"Okay!"

Understanding that the situation had gotten more dangerous with the bandit leader being at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, she quickly agreed to what Chu Yang said as she dashed over in the direction of the two Foundation Establishment Realm bandits. Luckily, they were located in the same place of the cave.

Chu Yang did not hesitate for too long as he quickly made his way over in the direction of the Peak Foundation Establishment bandit.

The information being wrong was no small surprise to Qing Yi and Chu Yang, as most of the information about the strength of the opponents in the missions were gathered by the Servant Quarters.

The guide that they had been given back in the mission hall even claimed that if there was a mistake in the opponent's strength during a mission, the disciple could directly claim no small amount of compensation from the Mission Hall. Truly showing how much they trusted in the Servant Quarters ability to gather information!

Not that either of them had any idea how the Servant Quarters gathered information in the first place… At least the Mission Hall seemed to have put their complete faith in them…

"So, this is the bandit leader…"

Arriving at the end of the mountain cave, Chu Yang could not help but feel a bit shocked when he saw a handsome young man in his late twenties laying lazily down on a couch looking over in his direction.

Completely different from the burly and rough looking middle-aged man he had expected to be the bandit leader…

"I really didn't expect for you to appear when we were just about to leave… How lucky!"

Muttering something to himself as a smile slowly formed on his lips after seeing Chu Yang appear, the young man slowly stood up.

From the way he acted, his strong aura and cultivation, Chu Yang knew that the person in front of him would not be so easy to beat…

Looks like I can finally fight without holding back!

Even if he fought with Qing Yi a lot back in the sect, he was still stronger than her and would have to hold back whenever they fought each other. After all, they were merely practice fights. Not fights to the death!

Thinking this as he strengthened the grip on his spear, Chu Yang could not help but feel a wave of excitement when seeing the young man in front of him take out a slim sword fastened around his waist and prepare to attack.

Whoosh!

Clang!

"Hm? You are stronger than expected… This might take longer than I thought it would…"

Retreating back in surprise after a quick exchange, the young man could not help but look at Chu Yan in surprise.

Ching!

Ptch~

Barely reacting in time to block Chu Yang's attack, as he launched an attack the moment, he saw the young man not paying attention.

Catching him slightly off-guard as a line of blood appeared on his left chin, a minor wound caused by Chu Yang's spear.

"You-"

Clang!

About to say something, the young man once again blocked Chu Yang's spear as he quickly stopped talking.

The opponent in front of him very clearly would not give up any chance he had at attack and from the looks of it, he did not have the luxury of ignoring him… Even though he was 2 entire minor cultivation realms above him!

Like this, both Chu Yang and the young man with the identity of a bandit leader put their full attention in fighting as they fought back and forth through the mountain cave.

Rumble~

Causing no small amount of damage to their surroundings in the process, as the mountain cave began showing signs of collapsing down on them with each passing second. Not that the two cared. Completely focused on their opponent as the fighting grew more and more intense.

"Mountain Breaker!"

Whoosh!

"Wha-?!"

BANG!

Chu Yang displayed the first move of the Soul Spear Divine Mantra, Mountain Breaker. Catching his opponent by surprise with his unique attack move and thus ending up directly smashing through the defensive qi barrier set up by the bandit leader before sending him flying into a nearby cave wall with his spear.

Thumb

"I should at least have broken a few bones-"

RUMBLE!

Muttering to himself as he looked over at the sorry figure of the young bandit leader fall down onto the cave floor, Chu Yang who was about to make his way over and finish off the bandit leader, was caught off-guard as the surrounding cave suddenly began collapsing down on him.

Whoosh!

Not thinking twice about staying behind, Chu Yang left behind the half-dead bandit leader.

Looking back just before he got out of sight, as a giant rock fell down from the cave ceiling and directly crushed his skull. Killing him on the spot.

Bang!

"…"

Freezing for a moment upon seeing the sight of the bandit leader dying, Chu Yang was soon awakened by a rock falling just beside him, as he quickly made his way out of the mountain cave. Not willing to end up like the bandit leader…
