14. Deterring Bandits
"Slash!"
Lin Fei swung his saber.
Six flashes of white light streaked past, creating six saber shadows.
At this moment, the transcendent realm's Nine Shadow Saber Technique displayed its terrifying power.
The most significant feature of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was its speed.
Speed pushed to the extreme. So fast that a single slash left multiple saber shadows.
It seemed as if Lin Fei only swung his saber once.
But in reality?
He had swung it six times!
The cloaked man, wielding his two hammers, couldn't even get close to Lin Fei.
His body suddenly stiffened and came to a halt.
"Pfft."
The next moment, blood gushed from the cloaked man's body.
On his neck, chest, and abdomen, deep wounds that exposed the bone appeared.
"Thump."
The cloaked man fell to the ground with his eyes still wide open.

There was no breath left in his body.
Dead!
The cloaked man seemed strong and powerful, wielding his enormous hammers, looked like someone not to be messed with. Among the many bandits in Nine Rings Mountain, the cloaked man was a true expert.
But now?
He couldn't even withstand a single slash from Lin Fei.
"Big brother!" The tattooed man's face changed drastically, a hint of grief and anger in his voice.
Just as Lin Fei was dealing with the cloaked man, he had also drawn his bow and shot an arrow at Lin Fei.
The arrow flew at incredible speed.
Almost at the same moment Lin Fei killed the cloaked man, the arrow had already reached his face.
Moreover, this arrow was aimed directly at Lin Fei's face, a vicious move.
At this moment, it was too late for Lin Fei to dodge.
However, Lin Fei didn't even bother dodging.
With lightning speed, his left hand reached out.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei grabbed the arrow with his bare hand.
The power behind this arrow was terrifying.
Yet, Lin Fei caught the arrow without a single tremor in his hand.
Not only was his hand speed fast, but his strength was also incredibly formidable.
"Here, take it back!" Lin Fei coldly glanced at the tattooed man and then threw the arrow back at him.
"Pft."
The arrow plunged into the tattooed man's throat, blood gushing out.
The tattooed man fell to the ground with a "thump," his body convulsing.
After a few breaths, he lay completely motionless.
Dead!
Two Body Refining Fourth Level experts from the Nine Rings Mountain bandit groups joined forces.
Yet, they couldn't withstand even a single move from Lin Fei. Both were killed directly by him.
For a moment, all the bandits' eyes narrowed. Their gazes were fixed on Lin Fei. Their faces filled with a hint of wariness.
Lin Fei held his large saber. His eyes swept over the many bandits, coldly saying, "Who else?"
The numerous bandits present remained silent.
"Lin Fei, your strength is indeed formidable. But no matter how strong you are, can you annihilate all the bandit groups in Nine Rings Mountain? It's impossible for the Lin Family's caravan to not pay the toll. We, the bandit groups of Nine Rings Mountain, will not allow it!"
As everyone remained silent and wary, a voice rang out from the crowd.
"Hmm?"
Lin Fei fixed his gaze. It was a thin bandit, hiding among the crowd, not daring to come out.
"Yes, I can't annihilate all the bandit groups in Nine Rings Mountain. But whoever targets the Lin Family's caravan, I can annihilate their bandit group! If you don't believe me, you can try.
Besides, I am an outer disciple of the Nine Profound Sect, and I have a great chance of becoming an inner disciple in the future. If I can't annihilate all the bandit groups in Nine Rings Mountain now, it doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future!"
Lin Fei's large saber was still dripping with blood. It was a threat.
For a moment, many bandits' faces turned ugly.
A single Lin Fei might not be worth fearing. But an outer disciple of the Nine Profound Sect was a different story.
If he really became an inner disciple, at least he would have to be at the Body Refining Seventh Level.
With connections and the help of fellow disciples. by that time, even pushing across the entire Nine Rings Mountain wouldn't be a difficult task.
In the martial world, strength is essential. But so is having a background.
Lin Fei's backing was the Nine Profound Sect. This was a leg as thick as they came!
leg: background. Chinese slang
"Very well, Lin Fei! Our Clear Wind Mountain bandit group will no longer collect tolls from the Lin Family."
Finally, a bandit from a mountain stronghold spoke up.
Lin Fei killed two Body Refining Fourth Level experts from the bandit groups with one move. This had already proven his strength.
Even a Body Refining Fifth Level expert might not be a match for Lin Fei. So, whether to take action or not was no longer important.
Since they couldn't defeat him, eliminate the threat completely, and Lin Fei had the backing of the Nine Profound Sect, what else was there to say?
Naturally, they could only agree to Lin Fei's demands.
Once the first one agreed, others followed. Thus, the many bandit groups of Nine Rings Mountain all agreed to Lin Fei's request.
From then on, the Lin Family's caravan would no longer be troubled by the Nine Rings Mountain bandits.
"Good, I hope you all keep your word, so I don't have to make another trip up the mountain."
With that, Lin Fei put away his large saber.
With a leap, he jumped into the air.
In a few bounds, he had already left the bandit stronghold and disappeared from everyone's sight.
