9 Ball of Ligh

"I will take a bath first." Lucas decided when he realized that he can't enter a city with his body covered with blood.

So, he visited a river on the way and cleaned himself.

The blood almost covers the whole river but with the help of the stream, it just flows to the lower part of the river.

He just didn't mind the blood scattering in the river. Since it's not even a problem because it will eventually go back to its normal state.

After bathing in the river, he used his spare clothes from his storage magic.

When he was finally clean, he continued to find the next city.

A few hours later, he stumbled upon a road. He decided to slower his paced since he can hear some laughter and noises from afar.

Looking for an opportunity to peek what it was, he searched for the source, only to discover that it was a crime in broad daylight.

Lucas saw a luxurious type of carriage surrounded by a great number of bandits.

"So if I guess, those maniac-looking guys are bandits? And the carriage is the victim? Oh… what stupid reasoning, I must have damaged my brain from living thousands of years.

Meanwhile in the crime scene, currently on-going, 3 guards are guarding the carriage which is used by a beautiful young lady.

The bandits are screaming in delight with their vicious grins filling their faces.

The bandits are at 9, outnumbering the number of the guard protecting the carriage. Realizing they are at disadvantage, the guards looked at each other before taking out a jade slip and a life-saving talisman that would teleport any user randomly away from the scene, at least 10,000 miles.

"Young Lady Sora, please use this talisman to save yourself. We can't let these fiends catch you."

"Yes, Young Lady, we will take care of this."

However, the young lady inside wasn't agitated, nor bothered by their words. She just looked at the eyes of the guards in disgust.

"You pathetic creatures. You can't even manage to protect me without using expensive treasure? Those are just bandits, why are they threats to you?" The young lady hissed, resounding his delicate yet strong voice.

"But Young Lady. Even if we sacrifice ourselves, we can't still be complacent that you'll be safe. Who knows that maybe they have reinforcement coming."

"Yes Young Lady, please listen to us."

"We are already surrounded by these fiends."

The young lady just rolled her eyes in disdain seeing his servants encouraging her to be a coward.

She just sighed before shouting to her servants. "Don't make me do such a disgusting act like you! I will never leave this place and waste this treasure for bandits! Go kill them before I kill you!"

Seeing their young lady act, the guards just surrendered in defeat, dispiritedly faced the bandits surrounding them.

The bandits on the other hand can see through their worries. Laughing at them and mocking to their very soul.

"Didn't think that guards from Su Family are these cowards. Look at your young lady, she is eager to be captured by us!"

"Hahaha! Don't even try to waste that treasure. Don't worry, we will surely sell it and use its money for our good!"

"Come here, lady! Let me fuck you before we sell you as a slave!"

On the other side, Lucas can hear everything from 100 meters. Thinking if he will even try to help these people, but something hinders him from deciding. This isn't his problem and he should not be bothered by every time he witnesses such crimes.

But alas, the previous personality he has was already gone. He only thought that way since, in his previous world, he can't just touch things to let the balance flow.

However, this isn't his previous world anymore. Maybe he could do something for his enjoyment.

Lucas peeked at the cultivation the bandits at. He was surprised when he saw that they are at least the 2nd and 3rd stage of Spirit Realm.

He just smirked realizing that he can easily defeat them if he uses his magic.

Even he decided to use magic only in an emergency, using a little amount of his mana for a second won't budge his emergency tactic since they are just 9 bandits. He can just release 1 ball of light and control it to maneuver it.

Lucas nodded to himself before jumping to the scene.

"Yahoo! Are you, bandits?!" He jokingly exclaimed before activating the spell.

In a second, a ball of light emerged from the point of his index finger. Despite its small feat, it was powerful enough to melt a skin with only a touch of it.

When the bandits heard him, they looked at him in surprise. Lucas was standing behind them and they didn't sense his presence!

However, when they looked at him again and saw his cultivation base at least at the peak of the Apprentice stage, they laughed and sneered at him.

"What can a puny guy as you can do with us? Or maybe you want a share of our operation?"

"Scram! We won't let you have share! Are you a newcomer right?!"

Listening to their words, Lucas just snickered and snorted in suppressing his laughter. The bandits thought that he is one of them since he wears average clothes.

Lucas lifted his other hand and pointed to the guards. "I'm with them dumbass?"

The guards behind were surprised but alas, it was futile for them to feel hope since they are skeptical of what an Apprentice stage cultivator can do to defeat 9 bandits.

While the bandits just laughed at Lucas not only because of the light but also because of what he just said.

"What? Don't tell me you're going to act like a hero? Scram kid before taking you too as our prize."

"Wait, he has a handsome face. Maybe we can sell him to hungry ugly ladies?! They would surely waste tons of gold for this treasure!"

"You're right! Hey kid! Wait there we will come back to you. This carriage is more important than you!"

The bandits are about to ignore him and look back at the carriage. He just shook his head and released the ball of light, hitting one of the heads of the bandits.

At the speed of light, a bandit instantly dies in front of his comrades. All of them were baffled when they saw blood, violently gushing out of his body.

They gazed back to Lucas where the attack came from, and couldn't believe that he killed one of their comrades.

"You dare!" One of them acted to pounce at Lucas but before he could, he instantly died in front of his comrades.

Everyone was baffled again, almost crying because of the fast development of the play.

"Where's that light?! I can keep up –!"

Before one of them can continue to talk, Lucas cruelly hit the head of the bandit, instantly dying.

The guards who were watching the scene were dumbfounded by the play. A young man is playing the bandits who they fear to fight since they are just mediocre in cultivation.

However, the young man was even enjoying his play. Massacring all of the 9 bandits in an instant. It didn't even made a minute to wipe them all out.

If this one turns out to be an enemy, they can just hope that their young lady would use the life-saving treasure she was holding.

When finally settled, Lucas kicked the corpse. He just clicked his tongue and mumbled, "If I meet someone I can't handle with cultivation, I'll just use magic to defeat them."

While he was saving his mana, he is busy on the other side of his brain to be accustomed to the feeling of the spiritual energy and his mana at the same time.

In fact, when he activated a spell, he was using the breathing technique of his cultivation technique, hoping that he could be accustomed to both feelings and merge them.

But alas, it didn't change the fact that he still needs to save his mana. He doesn't need to use a grandiose spell to kill someone like them. At least, he can use his cultivation with the assistance of his magic.

Wanting to grasp cultivation with a little amount of using his magic, if he can discover how to merge mana and Qi, maybe in the future, he will be the first cultivator who uses spells instead of weapons.

Lucas looked at the wary guards from a distance. He smiled at them before bowing a little and greeted them as a cultivator.

"Hello seniors, I hope you are okay with the outcome, and don't be wary of me. I am merely a passing rogue cultivator." He said in a low, but assuring tone.
