Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 2212: Chapter 2213: Encounter with Bandits

Afterward, Nuonuo’s cultivation reached a point where she practically forgot to eat or sleep!

No matter the time or place, there would always be a trace of the Power of Laws tempering her body.

Moreover, this Great Saint Physique had another benefit! It never went overboard!

In other words, no matter how hard you trained, there wouldn’t be any issues.

Because this Body Refinement Realm was inherently about self-torture, the more intense it became, the faster one’s strength increased.

Of course, Ye Luo did not anticipate Nuonuo to help him in any way; as long as she could survive safely in the South Territory, that would be enough!

However, how Nuonuo felt inside was not something Ye Luo could control.

In the afternoon, the Clan Leader came over suddenly, his face somewhat heavy.

Ye Luo’s heart sank. Could it be that the Dragon Clan had come after them? But why hadn’t he sensed it at all? Even given the harsh environment here, his Divine Soul Power was incredibly strong and should have sensed it before the Clan Leader.

”Grand Elder, we’ve encountered trouble!”

”The Dragon Clan?”

The Clan Leader shook his head, ”No, no, the Dragon Clan is unfamiliar with the terrain of the South Territory. As long as we’re not too unlucky, we’ll shake them off sooner or later! This time, it’s a small group of bandits we’ve encountered!”

Bandits? Ye Luo didn’t think much of it; as long as they weren’t from the Dragon Clan, it didn’t concern him much.

Moreover, how could the bandits’ strength compare to the Dragon Clan’s?

The Clan Leader naturally understood Ye Luo’s thoughts and immediately gave a wry smile.

”Grand Elder, do not underestimate these bandits. In the South Territory, they manage to survive under the oppression of those Great Sects and even occasionally challenge major powers. There’s a reason for it. In terms of strength, they are certainly not as formidable as the Dragon Clan, but in terms of battle prowess, they aren’t much inferior!”

Ye Luo realized this point! It all stemmed from the complex terrain and environment here.

Even this small tribe could run circles around the Dragon Clan, let alone the bandits.

”I’m not underestimating them. It’s just that a small tribe like ours doesn’t have much that would interest bandits, does it? Besides, we can just avoid them!”

The Clan Leader nodded slightly, ”There’s some truth to that. I’m just informing you so that in case we do encounter the bandits, we can be prepared!”

Yet, Ye Luo wasn’t particularly concerned.

What he hoped for now was to shake off the Dragon Clan so that he could set his next goal.

In just about four hours, Ye Luo heard a distant roar of Demon Beasts. Initially, he thought they had encountered Demon Beasts! However, according to the records in the books, this place shouldn’t even have Demon Beasts!

The Clan Leader and two Elders hurriedly arrived.

”Not good, we’ve actually run into bandits!” the Clan Leader exclaimed.

People in the tribe were alarmed, looking helpless and frightened.

Evidently, the bandits’ intimidation was quite significant for them.

”Since we can’t avoid it, let’s wait and see!”

Ye Luo’s words and his calm demeanor temporarily stabilized the tribe.

Soon, Ye Luo saw the true appearance of the bandits!

The collective strength of these people wasn’t much; they were only slightly stronger than this small tribe, and not by much.

After all, those truly powerful would probably choose the Great Sects.

But the aura of these people was quite intimidating!

Ye Luo had commanded armies before and understood that the strength of the bandits came not only from individuals but from the entire group!

And their mounts were actually Demon Beasts!

Even though they were of the lowest grade, it still enhanced their battle prowess significantly!

He had already read about Demon Beasts in books.

Even the lowest-grade Demon Beasts had an absurd ability to adapt to the South Territory’s environment, could predict spatial rifts, evade risks, and, more importantly, their movement speed was more than twice that of cultivators, nearly comparable to flying.

This kind of mobility made them perfectly suited for the bandits.

Looking at these Demon Beasts, Ye Luo became envious.

If nothing else, if these Demon Beasts were given to the tribe, then shaking off the Dragon Clan would be no issue at all!

Therefore, Ye Luo’s gaze towards the bandits became fervent.

These guys were delivering coal in the snow!

”Thankfully, this is just a branch of the bandits, but we must be cautious. If we can avoid conflict, we should,” the Clan Leader said.

However, what Ye Luo thought was the exact opposite!

He couldn’t let these bandits escape; if they did, chasing them would be quite troublesome for Ye Luo.

”Hey, are you the bandits? Hurry over and kneel; maybe I’ll spare your lives!” Ye Luo shouted.

Hearing Ye Luo’s words, the Clan Leader almost cried.

Wasn’t his meaning clear enough just now?

The bandits were momentarily stunned, then flew into a rage.

Even people from the Great Sects wouldn’t dare be so arrogant when encountering them!

Was this kid a fool? But even if he was, insulting the bandits would only lead to death!

”Courting death! Bring that guy to me!” a bandit leader yelled.

However, Ye Luo didn’t wait for them to bring him over. He stomped fiercely, launching himself like a cannonball.

While in the air, he summoned the Lingyun Sword!

With a sudden swing, the enormous Sword Qi slashed down instantly.

Seeing the rainbow-like Sword Qi in the sky, the bandits started to panic.

No wonder this young man was so arrogant; he indeed had the capability!

However, these bandits were also vicious individuals. Instead of fleeing, they charged ahead, launching a torrent of attacks toward Ye Luo!

If these bandits were replaced by Dragon warriors, Ye Luo wouldn’t have said a word and would have fled immediately!

These guys’ cultivation was far worse.

With one sword stroke, Ye Luo instantly beheaded three bandits!

Of course, Ye Luo deliberately avoided the Demon Beasts, seeing them as the real treasures.

Seeing Ye Luo so easily kill three bandits, the rest finally panicked.

Some were even trying to flee with the Demon Beasts!

But there was no way Ye Luo would let them off easily!

Or rather, he didn’t care if people escaped, but if they tried to escape with the Demon Beasts, that was unacceptable.

Yet the bandits misunderstood, thinking Ye Luo simply wouldn’t let them leave.

”Kill him!” the leader roared.

However, just as he finished speaking, a slash of blood appeared on his neck.

Thud!

His head fell to the ground, and the bandits who were about to charge forward immediately fell silent.
