Wang Chen observed a sudden shift in the attitude of the bandits and turned his gaze towards their leader. To his shock and amazement, he discovered that the bandit chief had reached the 8th stage of the Foundation Building Realm in terms of cultivation.
Wang Chen was taken aback by the difference in the leader's actual cultivation level compared to what was previously documented in the task hall. According to the task hall records, the leader's cultivation was only at the 5th stage of the Foundation Building Realm, but upon observing the leader in person, Wang Chen saw that the leader's cultivation had reached a much higher level, at the 8th stage.
Wang Chen thought in his mind 'Was the information provided by the merchant in the task hall false?
I can't afford to trust everything I'm told in the future. It's good that my Cultivation is higher than this bandit. If not I would be killed just because I don't dig for information on my own.'
….
As Wang Chen snapped back to reality, he gradually loosened his cultivation from the 5th stage of foundation building to the 8th stage, Wang Chen took a deep breath and focused, adjusting his spiritual energy to be ready for the upcoming battle. The bandit leader couldn't help but notice this sudden change and was taken aback by the intruder's true strength, which was now revealed.
The bandit chief frowned as he studied the situation, piecing together the clues like a puzzle. Suddenly, he made a shocking discovery that sent shivers down his spine - the intruder was concealing his true strength. By purposely lowering his cultivation level, the intruder aimed to gain combat experience by killing off his followers.
The bandit leader was filled with anger upon realizing the truth and charged at Wang Chen.
As the battle between Black Thunder and Wang Chen began, the air was filled with tense anticipation. Black Thunder, the experienced bandit leader, had a fierce reputation, known for his brutal tactics and cunning nature. He had honed his skills through years of battles, becoming a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.
With a fierce roar, Black Thunder charged forward, his sword held high. His movements were quick and precise, his eyes filled with a determination to kill the intruder at any cost. He was a seasoned killer, with unshakable confidence in his combat abilities, having taken the lives of countless victims in his raids. He was ready to add Wang Chen to his list of defeated opponents.
On the other hand, Wang Chen, a newcomer to the battlefield, lacked the experience of Black Thunder, He had limited battle experience, facing few opponents in his journey thus far. Despite this, Wang Chen was resolute and eager to prove his worth, seeking to gain valuable experience through combat. With a steadfast gaze, he stood his ground, ready to face the infamous Black Thunder.
As the two cultivators stood facing each other, their swords collided with a loud metallic clang that echoed through the battlefield. The clash of steel sent sparks flying, marking the start of their intense and fiercely contested battle. Both Black Thunder and Wang Chen moved with swiftness, exchanging blows that tested each other's raw strength and mastery of the sword. Their movements were a blur as they lunged, parried, and swung, each seeking to gain an advantage over the other. The air was filled with the sound of clanging metal, as the two cultivators fought with all their might.
"Who sent you?" Black Thunder asked, trying to gain the upper hand in more ways than one.
"I have come of my own accord," Wang Chen replied, his eyes fixed on his opponent.
"Ha! Don't try to play games with me, boy," Black Thunder sneered, his eyes flashing with anger. "I've faced enough mercenaries and assassins to know when someone is being paid. Now, who sent you?"
"Listen up, Black Thunder," Wang Chen declared with a confident smirk."I've come to eliminate the threat you pose to this land. You may call yourself a leader, but to me, you're just a bandit causing chaos in this area. And by taking you down I will earn those sweet, sweet merit points."
Hearing what Wang Chen said, a vein bulged on the forehead of Black Thunder. He calmed down himself.
"Ha, so you think you can take me down?" Black Thunder snorted, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth. "You're a brave one, I'll give you that. But, let me tell ya, you got no clue what you're stepping into. I'm Black Thunder, the one everyone fears, the sword master, the lightning wielder. I've made a name for myself around here, and ain't nobody gonna take me down, especially not some greenhorn like you."
Hearing this Wang Chen simply said in his heart 'Don't exaggerate yourself too much'
....
With a shout, Black Thunder unleashed a powerful strike, a move known as the "Black Thunder" technique. Wang Chen parried the blow, but the force of the attack sent him staggering backwards. Black Thunder pressed the advantage, raining blow after blow down upon Wang Chen. Despite his best efforts, Wang Chen found himself being pushed back, his defenses being slowly worn down by the relentless barrage of strikes.
As the battle between Wang Chen and Black Thunder raged on, Wang Chen's strategic and adaptive nature started to shine through. With every exchange, he gained a deeper understanding of Black Thunder's fighting style, capitalizing on his weaknesses and exploiting them to his advantage. Meanwhile, Black Thunder became increasingly disturbed by his inability to match Wang Chen's technique and tenacity. His attacks became more erratic and less controlled, a sign of his mounting frustration and desperation.
Despite his struggles, Black Thunder was not ready to give up. He put up a valiant fight, unleashing powerful strikes that pushed Wang Chen back. However, Wang Chen was relentless in his pursuit of victory, and he did not let Black Thunder's aggressive offensive deter him. Instead, he stood his ground, using his skills and experience to counter each attack and maintain the upper hand.
By the end of the battle, it was clear that Black Thunder was no match for Wang Chen. The bandit leader was overwhelmed, his sword arm trembling from the sheer effort of trying to fend off Wang Chen's relentless barrage of attacks. Despite his best efforts, Black Thunder was powerless against the skilled and adaptive warrior, and he could sense that he was losing the battle.
In a moment of weakness, Black Thunder lost his footing, leaving him vulnerable to Wang Chen's attack. Wang Chen seized the opportunity, his sword poised to strike the final blow. But just as he was about to deliver the fatal strike, Wang Chen felt a creepy feeling behind him, making him pause and turn to face the impending danger. He quickly tries to save his life by dodging the sudden attack that was about to end his life.
