Upon being hit by the purple-red band of lights, both the Berserk Sand Bandit King and the Second Captain were sent flying with blood spurting from their mouths. Chu Kuangren merely stood by and watched calmly in the air, his aura remaining ever so firm.
All of the Berserk Sand Bandits could not help but gasp.
âHeâs too powerful.â
âThatâs right. So this is the power of the Sword Poem Immortal. I canât believe that even our Boss and Second Captain canât defeat him together and were defeated within a single move.â
âHow terrifyingâ¦â
Chu Kuangren stood where he was, his white robes looking as otherworldly as ever. As the purple-red band of lights dispersed, he looked at both his opponents calmly.
It was as if defeating two Heavenly Daoist Celestials was nothing to him.
Then again, that certainly was the case.
âWe submit.â
âFrom today onwards, the Berserk Sand Bandits shall recognize you as their leader.â
The Berserk Sand Bandit King said after taking a deep breath.
Currently, they had no choice but to accept Chu Kuangrenâs demand. After all, Chu Kuangren could have easily killed every one of them if he wanted to. It would just be as simple as crushing mere ants to him.
âWise decision.â
Chu Kuangren said lightly.
Following that, he said, âPrepare yourselves and then take me to the Flame Demon Bandit King. We might as well gain their allegiance.â
âWhat about the Heavenly Gale Bandit King?â
The Berserk Bandit King asked.
As the leader, the Heavenly Gale Bandit King was the strongest among the three bandit kings. He was said to even be stronger than the remaining two bandit kings combined.
âIâll find him next after gaining the allegiance of the Flame Demon Bandits. If heâs smart, heâll hand over the Black Blood Tower Master obediently to me.â
Chu Kuangren said.
Soon after, the Berserk Sand Bandit King and the Second Captain, two Heavenly Daoist Celestials, led Chu Kuangren to the base camp of the Flame Demon Bandits, the Flame Demon Planet!
On the Flame Demon Planet.
The Flame Demon Bandit King and a few of his captains were enjoying some wine.
Suddenly, one of the bandits quickly rushed into the room.
âBad news, boss. The Berserk Sand Bandit King and others are here.â
The originally festive atmosphere immediately changed when everyone heard that. The Flame Demon Bandit Kingâs gaze turned cold. âHmph, the Berserk Sand Bandit King, huh. Have they finally decided to attack us now?â
âWe shall fight to the end, boss.â
âLetâs show them that we, Flame Demon Bandits, are not to be messed with.â
âThatâs rightâ¦â
The Flame Demon Bandit King raised his hand, silencing his men. Then, he continued asking, âHow many of the Berserk Sand Bandits are there? How many warships?â
That bandit replied, âThereâs only one warship, with three people on board by the looks of it.â
The Flame Demon Bandit King was dumbfounded.
The other bandits were in disbelief too.
âOnly three? Are you sure?â
âI canât believe the three of them would dare to come to our Flame Demon Planet. I bet Berserk Sand Bandit King has lost his mind. Unless⦠theyâre scheming somethingâ¦â
âD*mn. What the hell are they trying to do?â
The Flame Demon Planet was the main territory of the Flame Demon Bandits. There were thousands of Flame Demon Bandits here, with countless Emperors and Heavenly Imperials among them.
Not to mention, there was a Heavenly Daoist Celestial like the Flame Demon Bandit King stationed here.
âOnly three Berserk Sand Bandits have come?â
âArenât they coming here to die?â
âLetâs see what they are up to.â
The Flame Demon Bandit King snorted coldly.
He led his men out of the Flame Demon Planet and arrived in space.
A warship was approaching them. Soon, thousands of Flame Demon Bandits filled the space surrounding them.
There were only three people on board that warship.
When the Flame Demon Bandit King arrived, he immediately identified the Berserk Sand Bandit King and the Berserk Sandâs Second Captain. Besides that, he could also see a young man in white robes standing in front of them. He had long black hair reaching his waist, exuding an otherworldly feeling about him.
However, the Flame Demon Bandit King was more surprised that both the Berserk Sand Bandit King and the Second Captain were standing behind this young man as if they were his subordinates.
âWho is this person?â
The Flame Demon Bandit King was a little surprised. He had a hunch that the young man had something to do with why the Berserk Sand Bandits had suddenly acted like this.
âWhat are you doing here, Berserk Sand Bandit King?â
The Flame Demon Bandit King readied his man while asking.
The Berserk Sand Bandit King then rose into the air. âIâve come here to offer you a chance. Submit to our Master, and you shall not be dead!â
âSubmit?â
The Flame Demon Bandit King and others were taken aback.
After that, they looked at the Berserk Sand Bandit King shockingly.
âAre you kidding me? Why has the Berserk Sand Bandit King surrendered to someone else?â
âWho hell is he?â
âIs it this young man here? Is he the Master thatâs mentioned?â
âHmph. Wanting us Flame Demon Bandits to submit? In your dreams.â
The Flame Demon Bandit King sneered. âI didnât expect that you, the high and mighty Berserk Sand Bandit King, would actually submit to others. Iâm truly disappointed in you.â
âMy Master will stand at the precipice of power in the Violet Gold Galaxy in the future. Submitting to him is not shameful at all,â the Berserk Sand Bandit King replied.
âYou might feel that way, but Iâm not you. If you want me to submit, youâll have to ask the thousands of bandits behind me whether they agree to this or not!â
The Flame Demon Bandit King said coldly.
His Heavenly Daoist Celestial aura erupted everywhere like a raging tide, slamming forth towards the Berserk Sand Bandit King.
The Berserk Sand Bandit King snorted coldly, and his aura erupted too.
The power of the two bandit kings collided. Both of them seemed to be equally matched.
Following that, the Flame Demon Bandit King attacked first. He took out a long dark red saber and immediately charged toward the Berserk Sand Bandit King.
The Berserk Sand Bandit King took out his long spear and started battling him.
The two of them were similarly powerful. As the long saber and long spear clashed with great power, the two of them found themselves fighting an equally matched battle.
The other bandits were silent as they watched the battle.
While the Flame Demon Bandit King and the Berserk Sand Bandit King were battling it out, a few of the Flame Demon Bandit Captains looked at Chu Kuangren.
âI wonder what this person did to make someone like the Berserk Sand Bandit King submit to him?â
âIâm afraid heâs no ordinary person.â
âI shall test his strength then.â
One of the captainsâ figures flashed as he said coldly. He immediately turned into a ray of light and charged toward Chu Kuangren.
At that time, another burst of Heavenly Daoist Celestial power erupted. It was the Second Captain who snorted upon seeing that, quickly rushing forth to intercept that person.
As the two Heavenly Daoist Celestials battled, the remaining captains took the opportunity to surround Chu Kuangren, trapping him in a circle.
âTell us your name, young man.â A hulking man holding a mace sneered.
Chu Kuangren did not move and did not answer.
At that, the captains frowned. They then looked at each other before dashing towards Chu Kuangren at once.
Various types of attacks and energies were unleashed toward Chu Kuangren with might that rumbled the surrounding space.
Chu Kuangren stood still. However, just as the incoming attacks were about to hit him, they were all dispersed and disintegrated one by one.
It was as if an invisible and indestructible barrier was in their way.
âWhat kind of ability is this?â
âIt looks like⦠mind power!â
One of the more knowledgeable captains noticed this and said with a stern face. The mind power was a form that a personâs soul energy could manifest.
Soul cultivators were incredibly rare throughout the galaxy as well.
Only a handful of them existed in the Violet Gold Galaxy.
âHmph. So what if his mind power is strong? Will we lose if we join forces and attack him?â one of the captains said coldly.
The few of them attacked again with more powerful techniques this time.
âA group of cultivators that are not even Heavenly Daoist Celestials, huh? You guys are just too weak. Now, stay down,â Chu Kuangren said calmly.
Following that, his Emperor qi and mind power surged, intertwining with his Daoist pattern to form a miniverse. Eventually, all the bandit captains were enveloped within it.
Due to the effects of the miniverse, the bandit captains were rendered immobile. After that, an army of spiritual weapons appeared in the void to pin them directly onto the ground.
From the very start, Chu Kuangren did not bat an eye toward them at all.
However, the strength he displayed shocked the Flame Demon Bandits greatly, and they gasped uncontrollably.
