Chapter 1593 - 1590: Bandit Jifeng! (Part 2)
Amidst the panic engulfing the entire caravan, as they were about to lose their footing, Elder Sunx, along with two other elders, Elder Zhao and Elder Wuo, slowly walked out.
Elder Sunx glanced at the three with a cold eye, stroked his silver-white beard, and said coolly, "Where is your leader Jifeng? Why haven’t I seen him?"
Upon hearing this, Jiyu and Jidian’s expressions were slightly startled.
Before they could speak, Jilei said irritably, "There’s no need to use a butcher’s knife to kill chickens. To deal with you people, there’s no need for my eldest brother to act; the three of us are enough!"
After this, he didn’t give the others a chance to speak and roared into the sky.
"Old geezer, take my hammer!"
Immediately, under his command, his Thunder Bull charged towards Elder Sunx with the power to topple mountains and trees.
Elder Sunx’s narrowed eyes flashed with a contemptuous cold light.
"Hmph, you dare to attack a man like me with your brute strength? How utterly foolish!"
Elder Sunx coldly snorted, clapped his hands together, and formed a violent hand energy, which he unleashed towards Jilei.
"Thunk, thunk, thunk!"
Jilei was unable to withstand Elder Sunx’s attack, and both he and his bull were forced to retreat, causing the stone-paved mountain path to fissure with cracks like a spider web.
Upon seeing this, Jiyu and Jidian exchanged glances and simultaneously attacked Elder Sunx from the left and right at lightning speed.
Seeing this, Elder Wuo and Elder Zhao, who were behind Elder Sunx, immediately moved forward to intercept.
The bandits saw their three leaders rushing forward, prompting them to hesitate no longer.
They charged at the heart of the caravan with bloodthirsty eyes, waving their gleaming knives like ferocious wolves.
Hei En, seeing the situation, quickly shouted orders to those around him: "Stay calm, fight alongside me, protect the young mistress, protect the young mistress!"
Under Hei En’s command, the Brave Guards Mercenary Corps drew their weapons and engaged in a bloody battle with the bandits.
Observing that the bandit Jifeng had thousands of members and held a dominant position, Elder Sunx realized they not only faced a numerical disadvantage but also the positional advantage of the bandits.
If the standoff continued, the situation would become dire for them.
As for Elder Zhao and Elder Wuo, they were evenly matched with Jiyu and Jidian.
Judging by the current fighting, it appeared three days and nights of fighting might not yield a victor.
Thus, breaking the deadlock relied entirely on Elder Sunx.
However, Elder Sunx bore no psychological burden from this.
Jilei was naturally brave, but his cultivation was only at late-stage Divinity Transformation.
While Elder Sunx was at the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm, clearly overpowering the opponent.
With full effort, he was confident he could settle this brute within thirty bouts.
Struck by anger upon being repelled by Elder Sunx’s palm, Jilei’s fury surged forth unstoppably.
"Damn old geezer, once more!"
The beast’s roar had barely faded when Jilei slammed his giant iron hammer into the air, producing rolling thunder that hurtled towards Elder Sunx.
Facing Jilei’s thunderous charge, Elder Sunx did not evade. Instead, he met it directly with his palms, like moving with the force, forcibly seizing the heavy iron hammer with his bare hands.
Seeing his hammer captured by Elder Sunx’s hands, Jilei was shocked.
Despite exerting all his strength, he couldn’t free himself.
Elder Sunx laughed sinisterly, abruptly releasing his grip.
"Thunk, thunk, thunk!"
Off balance, Jilei uncontrollably staggered backward.
Seeing its master injured, Jilei’s Thunder Bull charged forward with sword-like sharp horns, aiming to topple Elder Sunx.
As the Thunder Bull furiously rushed at him, Elder Sunx coldly remarked, "Beast, seeking death," before raising his hand to strike its head.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Bull’s head burst like an overripe watermelon, spraying blood in the air. Its headless body fell like mud into a pool of blood, a gruesome sight.
Seeing his long-companion mount killed by a single palm of Elder Sunx, Jilei burst into rage.
"Old geezer, I’ll kill you!"
As his enraged shout lingered in the air, Jilei suddenly leapt into the sky, wildly swinging his iron hammer like a bolt of thunder towards Elder Sunx.
Elder Sunx’s narrowed eyes held a mocking laughter.
"Haha, if your brother Jifeng were here, he might handle a few rounds with me. But you? You’re not even close!"
Done speaking, he raised a hand with immense force, striking towards Jilei.
"Splat!"
Unable to withstand the blow, Jilei vomited blood on the spot, his entire body uncontrollably recoiling repeatedly.
Taking advantage of your weakness to finish you!
Recognizing the opportunity to eliminate Jilei, Elder Sunx prepared to end his life.
Suddenly, as Elder Sunx readied his lethal strike, the air behind him surged violently.
Elder Sunx was startled, realizing danger.
But he was too late.
A fierce and unmatched hand energy burst forth from the void, instantly piercing the layers of space to strike Elder Sunx’s back.
"Splat!"
With the other’s swift maneuver, Alder Sunx was unable to defend, his organs shattered instantly, coughing blood.
Seeing the newcomer, his pupils shrank in disbelief.
"Jifeng?"
Indeed, the newcomer was Jifeng, the bandit leader!
Jifeng’s malicious gaze sparkled with satisfied gleam.
"Sunx the Old Ghost, how was my palm just now? Quite a taste, wasn’t it?"
Jifeng’s sudden attack critically wounded Elder Sunx, the caravan’s strongest defender.
Instantly, the entire caravan sank into despair.
Even the usually composed Wang Jin, the Wang Family’s young lady, turned pale, her clear eyes filled with worry.
In the confusion, Elder Sunx suddenly called to Hei En urgently.
"I’ll hold Jifeng, Hei En, you must protect the young mistress, quickly leave!"
Hei En replied and leaped onto the carriage, furiously striking the unicorn’s back.
The unicorn, feeling pain, neighed wildly, knocking bandits aside to flee.
Despite his injuries, Elder Sunx remained formidable.
If determined, facing death would be daunting.
Even a top hero like Jifeng dared not underestimate him.
"Sunx the Old Ghost, since you’ve come to my Gale Ridge, I’ll welcome you warmly!"
Then he signaled Jilei to pursue.
Jilei grasped the signal, standing quickly, he glanced at Hei En’s carriage and shouted, hastily chasing after.
Elder Sunx attempted to intervene but was too tightly held by Jifeng.
Jifeng arrogantly sneered, "Sunx the Old Ghost, your opponent is me today, where you think you’re going?"
