"Do you still want more strength?"

Huh…?

"What are you talking about? Who do you think you are!?" Xiao-Fong shouted angrily, staring at Zheng-Fu with his clenched fists. He and other young men were prepared to charge towards Zheng-Fu to deal with him.

"As I've said, do you want more strength to be able to protect your people?" Zheng-Fu kept his face still and smiled at the young man.

"Want it, and then what? Or can you make us stronger!? Don't make me laugh. What could a kid like you do? Don't you know how bad and cruel these bandits are, a kid like you…"

Flap!!!

"That's enough, Xiao-Fong. You shouldn't say more!" A middle-aged man, Xiao-Fong's father, walked forward with his hands up to stop his son. Xiao-Fong thought of not giving up at first, but when he saw his father's eyes, the young man could only surrender.

After the middle-aged man ordered his son to stop talking, he then turned to look at Zheng-Fu and said, "Young man, since you already know all about us, we won't be able to let you go. Otherwise, our village would be in serious trouble." The middle-aged man spoke softly, but his words contained psychic killing.

"Is that so, Uncle!?" Zheng-Fu, with a shocked expression, asked before continuing to speak, "So, how can Uncle deal with me? Even those three bandits were killed by me. So how would Uncle, who is only at the ninth level of the Golden Core, fight with me?" Zheng-Fu tilted his head slightly, making a curious cat-like expression on his face.

"Ah…!!!"

After Zheng-Fu finished speaking, the middle-aged man's face instantly changed into shock. He had just compiled Zheng-Fu's words and just understood. But even then, at first, he still could not believe that the three bandits had already been killed. But when Zheng-Fu was able to tell his cultivation level, it made him feel extremely shocked.

Even though he did not know much about martial arts, he knew that only those who were at a higher level could clearly see the energy of the opponent who was at a lower level.

"Let's just do this. If Uncle doesn't believe me, go out and see with your own eyes if those three are really dead or not. I brought their bodies with me too," Zheng-Fu still said casually. However, his words this time caused the faces of the middle-aged man and the rest to become frozen. Then the young man was the first one who ran out to see.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

"Ah!!! These are the three bastards!?" Xiao-Fong exclaimed when coming out and seeing the familiar figures of the three bandits who had been in control of his village all the time.

"Is that true!?" After that, the Elder spoke in disbelief in his own eyes, seeing the bodies of the three bandits lying dead in front of their house.

"Now I don't have to say much, right!?" Zheng-Fu, who followed behind them, said with a smile before walking to stop next to the corpses of the three bandits he had dealt with earlier. In fact, shortly after he walked out of the enchanted house, he soared towards these three bandits using his camouflage skill, making them unaware of his existence and listening to them discuss their evil plans.

Then he proceeded to execute them and searched for the memories of one of the bandits he had left until he learned of their plans, strongholds, the number of forces, and many other things related to their bandit gang. Then bring the three corpses down without anyone even knowing at all.

Then Zheng-Fu appeared at the elder's house, met all of them, and brought them out to see the bodies of the three. After the elder and the other men saw the three corpses, their knees instantly collapsed as they looked at Zheng-Fu.

"Young Master, we didn't mean to hurt you guys. But if we don't…"

"What I want to know is, do you still want more strength to protect your people?" Zheng-Fu did not wait for the elder to finish speaking; he immediately interjected with a serious expression.

"Of course, we want it. Please just give us that strength. I'm willing to do whatever you want. Whether I have to wade through water or fire, I agree if it could get me the strength to get rid of these bastard bandits and protect the people of the village!" Xiao-Fong spoke seriously, kneeling on the ground with a determined and intended look.

"Xiao-Fong, my son!"

As the middle-aged man saw his son act like that, his heart pounded in shame that he was unable to do anything at all; even the courage to say something was impossible. More importantly, he had to lose his eldest son as a hostage in that bandit's den. As for the second daughter, he had already sent her off to live with her mother in the capital.

"Um... I'm Fong-Xiao-Yu, the current head of the Fong family. I solemnly vow to do whatever the young master wants. Just give us more energy to make more strength for us to help protect the villagers and our loved ones. I am willing to do whatever it takes, whether I have to wade through water or fire," the middle-aged man knelt beside his son, vowing firmly.

Flap!!!

The rest of the young men and middle-aged men followed both of them as well. They all knelt and made their vows firmly. Since they had all suppressed the hurt and resentment for a long time, when there was a bright path, why would they not take it?

"That's good. But this is not something that can be done in a short time. And I don't have much time either. Therefore, I'll go and defeat the bandits myself," Zheng-Fu explained that increasing their strength would take a lot of time. But he only had two days to stay here, so he decided to go to deal with the bandits himself.

"We know that. But those thieves…" the elder said hesitantly as if there was something in his heart. He just did not know how to tell him about the strength of the bandits.

"Is there anything, Elder!?" Zheng-Fu asked when he saw that the elder was silent as he was about to speak.

"What I want to tell you is that their leader is extremely strong. These three guys are incomparable. So, I'm afraid that you'll…"

"Oh... Well, it's just about that. Don't worry, I already know their strength. Elder, that's alright. As for your eldest son, who is being held hostage, I'll help him out on my own. Take it easy," Zheng-Fu suddenly cut off when he knew what the old man wanted to talk about because he already knew their level.

"If so, let's entrust you to help him, please. And what about your friends!?"

"Let them rest first. You don't have to tell them anything right now. Please act the same as you normally would."

"Yes, sir, Young Master!!!"

"Alright, I have to excuse myself now. I'll be back soon... Ah! There's another matter. You ought to prepare your mind for your eldest son. I can't guarantee that he'll return safely!"

Ah!!!

As soon as Zheng-Fu finished speaking, his body disappeared like a ghost. Everyone was greatly shocked by what they saw. But the faces of the elder and the middle-aged man were both shocked and pale because Zheng-Fu's words before disappearing made them both think hard. When they were about to ask, Zheng-Fu had already disappeared.

As for the hot-blooded young man, Xiao-Fong, after he saw Zheng-Fu's abilities, his heart pounded with embarrassment. That was because, previously, he looked at Zheng-Fu with disapproval and disdain; it was just that Zheng-Fu's face looked so young, and he was younger than him.

But now, he had begun to understand something; a person's face and age could not be measured with a person's strength. Of course, after this, he would do his best if he was given the opportunity to become stronger, as Zheng-Fu had said.

Hundreds of lis to the north of the Jungle Wood Village, Zheng-Fu's figure continued to soar at an unstoppable speed. His aim was the bandit den on a hill in the dense forest, on which there was a large cave on the mountain.

These bandits had discovered this cave and occupied it as their stronghold for many years. Some said that their leader was a master of a large sect who fled criminals with underlings. Some said they were united by organized crime across the country. But in reality, they were just an ordinary gang of thieves.

Only the leader of the group and the skilled men of this bandit group had discovered this cave, which had a higher density of Qi energy than usual. Plus, there were many valuable items left inside, which made them stronger.

The clan leader himself had a cultivation level at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage. As for the vice-leader, it was at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage. As for branch leaders, they were at the first to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, there were over a hundred underlings at the elementary to the high level of the Golden Core stage.

As for the three men, they were a special magical squad that the gang had just acquired a few years ago. They were in charge of capturing the skilled men who passed through the Jungle Wood Village by using the magic spell trap cast at the house where Zheng-Fu's group almost got hit. Their cultivation levels were comparable to that of a branch leader.

Five minutes had passed...

Zheng-Fu finally arrived at the bandit den on the top of the hill. Right now, the entrance to their den was filled with dozens of guards. But the defence looked very lax, indicating what their situation was.

"You guys are really relaxed. Seems that you haven't experienced anything brutal in a long time. I've got to set it up with the 'Extreme Brutal Scheme for Shaking the Bandit Den,'" Zheng-Fu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth before his figure disappeared again.

But he did not disappear into the bandit den. Instead, he hurried away from the den, straight into the forest in the direction that he could feel the two high-level Nascent Soul stage monster beasts. And with a scheme that came up all of a sudden to make the bandits meet with the cruelest things, these two high-level Nascent Soul stage monster beasts would be the helpers to accomplish his plan well.
