The Card Apprentice-Chapter 583 - Supervillains

The bandits were horrified to discover that the tip of the Golden Ring Woodspear had transformed into a half-meter long azure blade. This peculiar man would carve a sharp azure crescent in the air with every swing of his Golden Ring Woodspear. One after another, the azure crescent waves struck with a deadly ice-cold sensation. They were so unbelievably sharp that anything that touches the crescents was divided into two.

The dexterous and sly azure intertwined with the intense red, forming an abstract painting of death. Chen Mu’s eyes remained cold and indifferent, with no fluctuations. His mechanical movements were lethally accurate. State Zero’s in-depth, formulaic analysis gave him significant advantages for every attack.

He had never learned any weapon techniques before discovering the Golden Ring Woodspear. Zara also only knew a few basic spear skills. Hence, this spear remained solely an auxiliary weapon for a very long time. That was until Chen Mu strengthened it with blue crystals, thereby creating the blue energy blade, which subsequently led to a massive increase in its power. From there onwards, he began to gradually explore its uses.

Practice experience was the best way to learn. Not to mention the frequent battles that hung between life and death only made him learn faster. The Golden Ring Woodspear was agile, precise, and dexterous in Chen Mu’s hand. The body of the spear seemed to be alive and could bend at any angle. The azure blade’s energy also could alter its length unpredictably. The Golden Ring Woodspear was the king among spears. It was powerful to begin with. After its strength was reinforced, its performance was enigmatically formidable in the eyes of these bandits.

Combining the explosive power of his own body with Big Mud Fish, Chen Mu’s movement was incredibly erratic. He was like a light puff of smoke floating between the crowds, noticeable yet uncatchable.

The demonic Zara was like an apparition lurking in the dark. Nobody could figure out where she was. The Painted Graphistemma always appeared out of nowhere from obscure angles. It created scenes of carnage before disappearing as suddenly as it came. In the past two years, her improvement has not been exponential like Chen Mu, but she still improved dramatically.

She was insanely strong to begin with. Coupled with her fighting style of ruthless ferocity, she could have everything in control with just a gentle nudge. Her killing efficiency also increased beyond estimation.

The two killing machines were running at high speed, and the number of people standing was going down drastically. In the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen people left. They all expressed despair and a deep fear on their faces.

If what they had only seen the glamor and wealth of Chen Mu’s luxury items before. Now they were smelling the thick blood on the very same weapons. Chen Mu upgraded himself from being just a display rack of these weapons to a peerless murderer unleashing his arsenal!

“Ah! Spare me, sir…” A bandit, ashen-faced, prostrated on the ground and kowtowed for mercy from Chen Mu. He was scared to the point that he had lost the courage to put up all resistance.

His voice stopped short. An azure blue crescent passed through his throat accurately, and a spray of warm, scarlet blood emerged. Without even looking at the corpse under his feet, Chen Mu proceeded indifferently to his next target.

“Run!” The rest of the bandits broke down completely and turned to flee as fast as they could. Chen Mu did not chase them, but his 18 Bloody Eyed Darts were like vultures attracted by the smell of blood, rushing toward the robbers who were fleeing.

Blood spluttered here and there, like raindrops falling on a lake, forming countless ripples. Screams could be heard incessantly. How could they outrun the flying Bloody Eyed Darts?

The more blood they spilled, the shinier the blood streaks resembling red eyes on the triangular darts appeared. Suddenly, the bandit who ran at the forefront screamed. The companions behind him witnessed a bizarre scene. His legs were suddenly separated from his body in the air! It was as if he was cut from the thigh by an unknown weapon, and his upper body was still moving forward due to inertia. The screams echoed right after his upper body fell on the grassland.

A translucent filament, covertly connected between the two trees, revealed a sharp edge with an incomparable luster. The screams came one after another. Zara had completed the ambush. Like a spider, she excelled trapping her prey in the middle of her silk webs silently. The quietly flying Bloody Eyed Darts made another round while their prey was briefly stunned. In the blink of an eye, only the infamous bandit leader was left standing!

He looked at the corpses scattered around him, and his brain was blank. He never thought that the Bandits that he had established himself would be destroyed in mere seconds! Not to mention only by two people!

“I won’t yield…” His eyes were red shot, green veins showing on his forehead. He gave out one last shriek, but it stopped all of a sudden! An azure blade of light emerged between his eyebrows, ignoring the defiance swirling in his eyes.

Kathleen stared blankly at the dead bodies on the ground. All… all gone… The floor was a total mess. The bodies, the blood, the colorful internal organs, and the bandits still struggling on the ground, barely alive. Kathleen’s face was pale, and she could not help it anymore. She knelt down and threw up desperately. She had never seen such a horrifying scene! Ever!

The bloody smell was suffocating, and it made her stomach tumble again. She had killed people before and was an experienced flexster. However, even she had never seen such a hell. However, the man and the woman were so indifferent. They were looking for bandits who were not dead yet and to finish them off. Afterward, they began taking away the bandits’ weapons. This was beyond Kathleen’s imagination. Even the strongest flexster she knew would not do that.

Do they realize that hundreds of people were killed by their hands just now? Chen Mu picked the White Midges Bone and inserted it behind his back. The 18 Bloody Eyed Darts returned to the tri-circled armband on his right arm like swallows returning to their nests. The azure blade of the Golden Ring Woodspear had also disappeared.

“Please take care of it.” Chen Mu told Zara. “Ok,” Zara, who had just collected all the filaments replied gently, then began to search the bodies. Compared to Chen Mu, she knew what was worth something and what was not. And in the past two years, she had become accustomed to the role of an assistant.

“Who are they?” Chen Yu retired from battle mode and asked casually. The many bodies on the ground did not bother him at all. In the past two years, he had experienced far too many bloodier scenarios. “I don’t know,” Zara replied as she flipped a body without lifting her head.

“Look out for money. We may be able to use it,” Chen Mu reminded her that now they were out of the Hundred Depths and returned to civilization again. Now they needed money to get to places again. “Noted,” replied Zara succinctly.

“I… I know who they are…” Kathleen, who had just throw up, was pale but she mustered her courage. “Oh?” Chen Mu turned his face and looked at Kathleen. Chen Mu’s eyes made Kathleen shiver involuntarily. She forced herself to remain calm, “They are the Nine-tails Bandits, an extremely wicked and fierce bunch…” The fear in her heart reduced as she went along, and her tone smoothened. She narrated some of the evils of the Nine-tails Bandits.

“Have you heard of them before?” Chen Mu asked Zara. “No,” Zara shook her head. It seemed that either these guys were not too infamous, or they appeared after Zara left the House of a Hundred Depths.

“What’s the level of their strength?” Chen Mu was more concerned about this issue. Whether these people were considered aces or common goods in the House of a would allow him to get a general understanding of the power level here.

“Unqualified,” answered Zara simply. Chen Mu nodded. “No, wonder, I thought they were weak.” Hearing the two talk, Kathleen opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But she quickly closed her mouth wisely.

In her heart, there was such an emotional upheaval which she could not help but started to guess the identity of the man and the woman. Who could use this understated tone to evaluate the Nine-tails Bandits? Unqualified! When she thought of the word, she smiled wryly.

Even the Nine-tails Bandits were unqualified. How about me then? Although she could not figure out the background of this pair, their strength made an unprecedentedly powerful impression in her heart. With the power of the two people, the entire Nine-tails Bandits was wiped out. One could no longer use “powerful” to describe them. The correct word should be “monster!”

Kathleen even suspected that the two would be qualified to join the top ten in the House of a Hundred Depths. Only legendary figures were likely to possess such disastrous strength. However, her palpitation was not only due to their strength, but also their indifference to the lives of others. This attitude could only be possessed by supervillains who have experienced countless killings.

Supervillains! Looking at the corpses everywhere, Kathleen felt that the word she thought of was too apt. Compared with the two men, the Nine-tails Bandits were as fragile as a harmless baby. Tomorrow, no, maybe today, the news that the Nine-tails Bandits were destroyed would spread throughout every corner of the region. She could foresee that an unprecedented earthquake would be ushered into this region.

Zara’s harvest was bountiful, as seen from the five large travel bags on her hands. It was strange to see a slender woman relaxedly carrying five hill-like travel bags. “Let’s go,” Chen Mu carried Kathleen, and the three disappeared instantly.

Just ten minutes after they left, several teams of flexters discovered this appalling battlefield. The news that the Nine-tails Bandits was completely annihilated spread immediately and the tragic scene was exaggerated by the eyewitnesses as if the Nine-tails Bandits were humiliated countless times before their death. The scars of the vine-like weapons on the bodies and the grotesque bowl-shaped wounds left by the White Midges Bones allowed them to determine the culprits immediately.

Even the hottest outer layers of the House of a Hundred Depths, the temperature dropped to a freezing point with the arrival of this bone-chilling news. Massacred! Even the infamous Nine-tails Bandits were massacred! Now no one would stupidly shout their intentions to steal the treasures and the anyone who declared it would be abandoned by their companion right away.

Evil will always be subdued by greater evil! Affected by this incident, many flexters who originally wanted the treasure retreated. The same flexters spread the news of how the Nine-tails Bandits were murdered by the infamous pair. Soon, all the cities around the Hundred Depths circulated the same shocking news. — Two supervillains that might be seen only once a hundred years have emerged!
