‘Good, good, I just needed a few punching bags to vent my frustration,’ Shen Yuan thought with a gloomy look in his eyes as he remembered his one-sided thrashing by the Abyssal Entity.
His eyes turned as he swiped his spear upward to deflect the oncoming arrows. He saw that Shan Bo and the others had already stood up and were loading their bows again.
He tightened his grip on his spear as he looked at them. ‘Hmm, I should knock out the fodders first and then play with Shan Bo.’
He looked at the disciples in the back who were standing up again. He smirked as he shook his spear again and started attacking them. “AHH, MY HAND, MY HAND!!!” one disciple screamed as Shen Yuan sliced off his right hand.
“Quit screaming, you can regrow it with a good pill,” Shen Yuan spoke with sarcasm as he knew these disciples can’t afford those pills.
He then raised his head to look at the rest of the disciples, his eyes cold as they all took a step back. “Now, who is next?”
He took a step forward as all the clan members retreated one step. “What are you all doing?? Step forward! Charge at him!” Shan Bo screamed as he saw his clan members retreating at the sight of Shen Yuan.
“Give up, they have already lost the will to fight,” Shen Yuan said as he raised the spear with one hand and put it above his shoulder, stretching his hand as he took aim at the clan members.
“Now, watch!” he shouted as he threw the spear. The clan members’ eyes widened in fear as they hurriedly moved out of the way to avoid the attack, but the spear still penetrated the thighs of a few clan members; the first one got his leg obliterated, and the next few weren’t much luckier than him.
Shan Bo’s eyes widened in fear and anger as he saw his clan members being dismembered right in front of him. His rage clouded his judgment as he screamed again, “Attack now! He doesn’t have any weapon, we can take him down now.”
He spoke more to encourage his clan members as when they saw Shen Yuan, their eyes lit up with hope as they tightened their hands on the weapons.
But Shen Yuan gave them a grin and took out a scythe instead. “Oh? Do you think I only have a single weapon in my storage ring even after you all ‘donated’ your storage rings to me?”
His words were like a bucket of cold water as the disciples felt their hope being crushed in front of them, their hands shook as they dropped their weapons.
“No… no… WE CAN’T WIN AGAINST THAT FUCKING MONSTER!!” one disciple screamed before running away from the battlefield.
Shen Yuan smiled, seeing this, as he wanted to cut down the number of fodders anyway, but this strategy seemed the most helpful to him.
As the other disciples saw him successfully running away without attracting the attention of Shen Yuan, they also began having thoughts of running away as they looked at each other’s eyes.
Shan Bo felt his heart dropping at this sight as he clenched his fist and shouted, “ALL DESERTERS WILL BE KILLED!”
The other disciples felt their backs drenched in cold sweat as they prayed for the first guy.
Shen Yuan smiled, but there seemed to be coldness dripping from his eyes. “Yet, if you guys don’t leave now, then I will be the one to kill you right here. You have hope for the future, but if you don’t run away…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the disciples understood the implications as their internal struggle grew with each passing second.
The disciples looked at each other, yet none seemed to be leaving as they didn’t want to be the first ones to stand out.
Shen Yuan saw that they were not leaving. “Sigh, you guys left me no choice.”
He turned his scythe and jumped towards the nearest group of disciples. Their eyes filled with horror as they didn’t think Shen Yuan would attack so soon.
The disciples in the front tried to resist his attack while the disciples in the back retreated hurriedly to get away from the area of impact.
Shen Yuan didn’t bother with their defense as he slashed their chests one after another, drawing massive amounts of blood.
He paused as he saw that all the remaining disciples began running away. He nodded and glanced around to find Shan Bo.
“That sneaky bastard…” he muttered to himself as he saw that Shan Bo was one of the first disciples to run away.
But he didn’t give up as he infused his eyes with his Qi to look further into the distance, where he found the disciples running.
He looked around for a while until his lips curled into a smile. “Found you…”
His body slowly faded from his location as Ling Mei and the others watched with excitement as Shen Yuan moved through the group of clan members to reach Shan Bo.
“Where do you think you are going, huh?” Shen Yuan said as he put away his scythe and kicked Shan Bo in the chest.
“Ugh,” he groaned as he was sent flying back in front of the female disciples.
The clan members paused, looking back to see Shan Bo lying on the ground. Some thought of rescuing him, but as soon as they saw Shen Yuan heading toward Shan Bo, all thoughts of retreating evaporated from their minds.
They hurriedly looked away as if they hadn’t just seen Shan Bo flying back and continued running away from Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan came in front of Shan Bo. “Heh, look who got abandoned so soon.”
Shan Bo opened his eyes while clutching his chest in pain, only to see Shen Yuan’s smirking face.
“Y-You bastard! You can’t kill me! My clan had an agreement with your Sect about this Mystique Realm.”
Shen Yuan smiled. “Yes, our sect had such an agreement, but I don’t remember where it said that we can’t hurt each other?”
His smile turned wicked as he kicked Shan Bo again to send him flying. “You had fun bullying my junior sisters, huh?”
He sprinted towards Shan Bo again as he saw him groaning on the ground. “Why don’t you show me how strong you are, huh?” He kicked him again, breaking the bones of his hand as he sent him flying through the forest.
“Is Senior Brother angry for us?” one of the younger disciples asked with a lovestruck gaze while looking at Shen Yuan beating down Shan Bo.
Wan Ling nodded her head eagerly, “Of course, I’m sure big brother is angry for us because of how those guys bullied us before.”
Ling Mei’s eyebrow twitched as she thought, ‘How were we even bullied? We entered the room as soon as they started attacking us.’
Though other disciples thought otherwise as they felt good when Shen Yuan beat down Shan Bo.
By now, Shan Bo had already broken a lot of his bones by being kicked around by Shen Yuan all over the forest.
