Vulture was the leader of a gang of roving robbers, and he and his men had been wanted for several years.
However, because the gang committed their crimes without any pattern, often robbing one place and then not showing up again for three to five months, they had not been caught.
Today, the gang was resting in the mountains when someone suggested a roadside robbery. Everyone was bored and agreed.
Seeing how enthusiastic his subordinates were, Vulture did not object.
The group descended the mountain in a grand procession.
Little did they know, before they had even robbed a few people, they encountered two men dressed somewhat unusually, each wearing a mask.
"Yo, these two are playing dress-up. Their outfits are quite eccentric."
"There are all sorts of people in this world. Nowadays, people just like to do these strange things."
"What they're doing has nothing to do with me, but if they can't pay up, they won't be leaving here standing!"
As the group of robbers chattered, the two masked men walked towards them.
They exchanged glances, and one of them, holding a cleaver, stood up.
"Leave all the money you have on you, or else... Ah!"
However, before he could finish his threat, with a scream, an arm fell to the ground.
The cleaver in the man's hand also clanged to the ground.
"Damn, we've run into trouble."
Upon hearing the scream, the robbers who had been chatting and smoking nearby immediately dropped their cigarettes and rushed forward with knives and clubs.
Seeing the swarm of robbers charging, the two masked men remained unfazed.
The one wearing the black mask stomped his foot and moved instantly.
"Ah, ah, ah..."
A series of screams erupted.
By the time the man in the black mask returned to his original position, Vulture and his subordinates were either dead or crippled.
Organs were severed all over the ground, and red blood was splattered everywhere. For a moment, the place seemed to have turned into a hellish purgatory.
Who were these two masked men, to possess such formidable skills?
Vulture and his men began to regret their decision to go out for a roadside robbery today.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world; they had brought it upon themselves.
"Spare us, we won't dare to do it again!"
"My lord, please spare me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. Please spare my life."
"Boss, this is the money we just robbed. We'll give it all to you now. We can talk things over."
To save their lives, Vulture and his men threw all pretense of dignity aside and immediately began to beg for mercy on their knees.
At this moment, the man wearing the silver mask took a step forward and walked through them as if they were air.
Vulture and his subordinates rejoiced, seeing this, they thought their plea had worked and the masked man was not going to kill them.
Swish, swish, swish.
With a series of sharp whistling sounds, Vulture and his men were all slaughtered, leaving none alive.
Dozens of bodies twitched uncontrollably before slowly falling to the ground, their blood flowing like free-flowing water.
This group of wicked robbers finally ended their sinful lives.
...
For some reason, tonight he couldn't seem to achieve a state of focused meditation.
After trying several times, Du Fei finally gave up.
It shouldn't be like this. He had broken through his bottleneck earlier, and his cultivation had been smooth for a while. But this morning, Du Fei felt an inexplicable restlessness.
After ending his cross-legged meditation, Du Fei decided to head home.
As he took two steps, his ears twitched slightly, and he stopped.
Du Fei's eyes fixed on the corner of the rooftop, as that was the only way up.
Tap, tap.
With a rhythmic sound of footsteps, two masked figures appeared before Du Fei.
As soon as he saw them, Du Fei felt a strong sense of alarm.
Especially the one wearing the silver mask, who made Du Fei feel an extreme sense of danger.
"As expected of someone who can kill two of my subordinates. You have some courage."
The two masked men stopped a few meters in front of Du Fei.
Then, the one in the silver mask, who was in front, spoke.
As his voice sounded, Du Fei couldn't help but frown slightly, as it was incredibly unpleasant to listen to.
"Killed two of my subordinates? Are you sure you've got the wrong person?"
He didn't even know who the masked person in front of him was, so how could he have killed his two subordinates? Du Fei immediately felt that this guy must have mistaken him for someone else.
As Du Fei was filled with confusion, the silver-masked man let out a chilling laugh. "Although Blood Hand and the other one were not killed by you personally, since they failed their mission, Sister Maxi is useless even if she lives."
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the Master of Kunlun."
Hearing the name "Blood Hand," Du Fei already felt a faint sense of familiarity. Then, when the silver-masked man in front of him called himself the Master of Kunlun, Du Fei looked at him with surprise.
Then, he recalled what Fang Chao had told him about the organization Kunlun.
According to Fang Chao, the Master of Kunlun was very mysterious, and no one had ever seen her true face.
Now, Du Fei looked at the person in the silver mask, whose voice sounded like fingernails scratching glass, exuding an aura of extreme danger, with great vigilance.
Fang Chao had described the Master of Kunlun as extremely enigmatic. For him to come seeking revenge just because his subordinates were defeated by Du Fei seemed rather unreasonable.
However, whether it was reasonable or not, the other party was standing in front of him, looking extremely dangerous, so Du Fei could only remain vigilant and prepare himself.
"No need to be so nervous. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead. Actually, I've been staying in the mountains for too long, so I wanted to go out for a stroll."
"As I was wandering around this area, I suddenly remembered you, this little fellow."
"Not bad. You've already reached the Innate realm. To have such cultivation at such a young age, your future achievements will surely be extraordinary."
"How about this? As long as you are willing to serve Kunlun from now on, I will spare your life!"
The Master of Kunlun sized up Du Fei, clearly surprised by his ability to reach the Innate realm at such a young age.
However, it was only a moment of surprise. The Master of Kunlun was confident that if he wanted to kill Du Fei, he wouldn't survive for a minute.
