Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

"It's them. I didn't expect they couldn't escape this calamity." On the hill, Lin Jia recognized several people. They were all cultivators who had crossed over from the Southern Region together.

At this moment, they had all lost their breath, and some people were still groping their bodies, trying to understand their suffering.

The bandit was skilled and adept at killing and looting corpses; he had clearly done such things many times.

"Who are you, sir?"

Just then, the leader of the bandits in the distance spoke up, looking at Luo Qianqiu and Lin Jia with apprehension.

The two made no attempt to conceal themselves, appearing there so brazenly that even the bandit leader, a cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm, didn't have time to react.

This situation basically indicates that the newcomer's strength far exceeds his own. Otherwise, given the bandit leader's personality, he would have attacked the newcomer the moment he appeared, instead of wasting time and energy on words.

Coincidentally, Luo Qianqiu also had this kind of personality; without any nonsense, he chose to take action directly.

"Sizzle!"

A flash of dark light, so fast that no one could react in time, and one bandit after another's head exploded, blood and brains splattering everywhere, red and white all over the ground.

It happened too fast. By the time the bandit leader realized what was happening, a large number of his men were already dead.

Without any hesitation, the bandit leader rode the divine rainbow and fled in a menacing manner.

Before making a move, the bandit leader was still somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to test his skills against Luo Qianqiu, but the moment he made his move, the leader completely abandoned all illusions.

The old monster from the Other Shore Realm was a whole realm higher than him; the two were not even in the same league.

The bandit leader had only heard of the idea of ​​defying the immortals, but had never actually seen anyone do it.

Therefore, he was very decisive. As for his subordinates, as long as he was alive, he could gather a group of people at any time. The Northern Region lacked everything except cheap lives.

"Sizzle!"

As the bandit leader broke through, a deafening explosion ripped through the air, and a dark light, like a dragon, hurtled towards him with immense force, interrupting his thoughts.

This strike was incredibly domineering and fierce. The long mace cleaved down with tremendous force, as if carrying immense power, causing even the void to ripple as if it were about to collapse.

"what!"

The bandit leader's pupils constricted, and after a furious roar, three purple beams of light flew out from the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Those were three weapons: a longsword, a shield, and a divine chain, all capable of offense, defense, and trapping. If used properly, they could truly greatly enhance one's combat power.

Unfortunately, in the face of a clash of absolute power, such a combination appears flashy and ineffective.

"when!"

The long mace, gleaming with dark light, struck the long sword first with great force. Then, with a clang, the long sword let out a mournful cry as it was broken in two and fell into the sky.

A single collision perfectly illustrated the gap between the two sides; they were simply not in the same league.

"boom!"

After shattering the longsword, the mace's power remained undiminished, breaking through the shield and divine chain in quick succession. Then, with a powerful tremor, it brought down with immense force.

The bandit leader's eyes were bloodshot. His first thought was to dodge, but the Dao patterns on his mace glowed, and layers of Dao waves spread, directly sealing off this void. He couldn't move at all and could only face this attack head-on.

How can an ordinary mortal body withstand the power of a weapon with its flesh and blood?

The bandit leader threw out both fists, then both arms were severed at the root, and he could only watch helplessly as the long mace slammed into his head.

Blood surged forth, fresh blood mixed with white brain matter, splattering everywhere and falling in all directions.

Absolutely shocking, unparalleled combat power, like a well-trained adult wielding a weapon against an infant who can't even walk.

"Boss!" all the bandits exclaimed, feeling a chill run through their bodies.

On the distant hilltop, Luo Qianqiu glanced at the remaining bandits. His long mace transformed into a streak of black light, and a series of blood splattered as they fell like harvested wheat.

In the end, only ten bandits remained, limp on the ground, utterly terrified.

On the hilltop, Dao patterns flickered beneath Luo Qianqiu's feet, and he and Lin Jia appeared as if by teleportation in front of the ten bandits.

"Next, I'll ask questions, and you'll all answer together. Anyone who dares to lie will die," Luo Qianqiu said in an icy voice.

The bandits were terrified, their bodies trembling like leaves, some even urinating uncontrollably.

"Sizzle!"

A flash of dark light, and blood and brains splattered, shooting up several feet high.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. No one had time to react until the scalding blood splattered on them, causing them to scream in terror.

But what awaited them was the indiscriminate killing by the long mace; in just a moment, five more people fell.

"Was I not clear enough, or did you not understand what I was saying?" Luo Qianqiu instantly killed five people with a flick of his finger, but a compassionate smile appeared on his lips, which was quite chilling, like a villain in a movie.

"Understood, understood. Whatever you may ask, sir, we will answer without hesitation." The bandits, terrified of this killing god, offered no resistance.

"Those who understand the times are wise; you are very clever," Luo Qianqiu said, feigning praise. He paused, then continued, "Where are you from? Besides you, do you have any accomplices guarding your hideout? Besides what you carry with you, does your leader have any treasure vaults or anything like that? And which direction is the nearest city?"

Problems arose one after another, but due to the life-or-death crisis, the bandits remembered everything clearly and spoke at once about what they knew.

First of all, they came from the nearby Luanshi Village. Their leader was the same cultivator from the Divine Bridge Realm who had just spoken. He made a living by robbing and pillaging, and when he was lucky, he could steal a few kilograms of resources from some villages.

This kind of ambush outside Xuan Yu Terrace to plunder cultivators from other major regions is not the norm. It's only because the leader of Luan Shi Village is about to break through that he took such a risk.

Who would have thought that her first encounter with Luo Qianqiu would come at such a cost, almost like her life?

The bandits, one after another, quickly revealed everything that Luo Qianqiu wanted to know, daring not to hide anything at all.

To ensure the accuracy of the information, Luo Qianqiu repeatedly pressed him for answers, and only after receiving the same response did he feel relieved.

"My lord, we were just desperate to survive, so we were temporarily blinded by greed and joined the Chaotic Stone Village."

"My lord, spare my life! I've only been with Luanshi Village for a few days, and I haven't taken a single life yet."

"Please forgive me this time, sir. I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. After this, I promise to live a peaceful and honest life."

Several bandits knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Alright, alright, you're making me look like the bad guy. You can leave now, I won't kill you." Luo Qianqiu waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.

The bandits were overjoyed. They kowtowed several times before helping each other to their feet, mounting the dragon-scaled horses, and galloping away into the distance.

"You really want to spare their lives?" Lin Jia was puzzled when she saw that Luo Qianqiu really didn't intend to take action.

"I'm a man of my word. If I say I won't kill them, I won't. But I only said I wouldn't kill them," Luo Qianqiu said earnestly, looking at Lin Jia.

"I understand." Lin Jia let out a long breath, her face showing a moment of struggle before she was relieved.
