Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 366 Chapter 359: The Extinct Monster!

"Yuck!" the villagers almost puked out when they saw such an ugly and dirty scene. They look towards each other before nodding.

"Filthy bandits! So what if we dare to attack you sc.u.ms? You think we villagers are pushover? Screw your ugly face! You hear us? Screw you all!!"

Hearing these vulgar words coming out from the mouths of the villagers on the other side of the gate, the bandits were utterly silenced, looking shocked and dumbstrucked.

It took quite a while for them to recover from this state before their face reddened in rage!

"F*ck! You useless puny villagers! How dare you slight us like that?!"

"Courting death! I'm gonna wreck your life when I go over there!"

"I will skin you bunch of peasants for saying that! I dare you guys say that once more!"

Immediately, the bandits replied with many ruthless death threat as they had never thought even once in their wildest dreams that weak villagers would curse them harshly like that!

Aren't villagers usually cowards that trembled and peed their pants upon seeing them?

How are they acting like this?

"Oh?" the bandit leader on top of the throne was once again surprised and his interest grew.

For them to be so brave as to retort us bandits back with vicious words.. it seems that they are pretty confident with the cultivator protecting their hides!

Is it a cultivator of the Foundation Establishment realm? Or perhaps a Core Formation realm cultivator?

The bald and overweight bandit leader with numerous scars on his face and bare chest thought deeply.

"It's not possible for any Golden Core realm cultivator to be around in this small village..."

Following this logic, the bandit leader chuckled.

He was once a guard working under a prestigious great clan from another empire giving him the ent.i.tlement to sponsored cultivation resources resulting in his current Golden Core realm, but got dishonorably discharged after being caught using the great clan's name to threatened others into giving him money and bribing others!

This was why his state of mind was far different from the normal common bandits as well as his intellect. He was able to remain calm and collected in a.n.a.lyzing situations before jumping to conclusions.

This time was also the same for him.

"The only possible explanation for them to be this brave is that there are multiple cultivators inside that village! Their cultivation realm should be Core Formation realm at most!"

Making up his mind, he ordered several of the bandits in front of him to prepare for a small siege. He wanted to bait the cultivators inside to attack these bandits so that he could plan his next move after seeing their numbers and strength!

...

"Hahaha! That felt good!" the villagers were all excited and laughed out loud after managing to curse the bandits relentlessly with vile words one after another.

In normal circ.u.mstances, they would not even think to retort the slightest word from the bandits and had to act obediently like it was the Will of the heavens when they are surrounded defenseless like this, and even back when they still had defenses from the security forces, they would only stand their ground and prayed that the bandits would give up without trying to offend or agitate them!

Yet this time around, they could curse the bandits with whatever ravaging words they could utter from their mouth! Perhaps the only limitation was their lack of vocabulary for obscene words!

This was all due to the instructions and scripts from Wei Shang and Fei Longwei. They needed the bandits to become angry so that their agitation could reveal their cultivation strength!

"Hmph.. trash.." Fei Longwei stared at the bandits from far away as he snorted in disdain after he got a good look at the bandit's overall strength as a group!

Early stage Qi Condensation realm!

This was the weakest cultivation realm that any cultivator could possess. Additionally, they were mostly in level 1 or level 2, where their martial arts were stronger than the normal people.

As for skill arts? He reckoned that these bandits would know almost nothing about it!

However, what he was most concerned about was the bald bandit leader! From the pulsations of the latter's aura, it seems like he was only in the Core Formation realm, but it was obvious that this person was hiding his true cultivation realm!

"It doesn't matter.." Fei Longwei's figure then gradually blended into the thickets around him before disappearing. He was preparing for an ambush along with Cucko and its several minions as what he and Wei Shang had planned before.

Right now, their location was actually outside the village gate, located to the rear side of the enemy! They hid themselves here before the bandits even arrived!

Holding the communication jade slip in his palm, Fei Longwei's eyes flashed.

"Commence the attack!"

Tens of kilometers away, dust cloud could be seen trailing from the ground. Hundreds of bandits trampled the ground with their horses as they sprinted towards the Spring Blossom village!

...

"Elder Cheng Chao, what's wrong?!" Ruo Hen that was the first to see the horrified look of the Princess's powerful maid could not help but to have a bad feeling about it.

Pahh!!

However, he was immediately slapped for speaking out loud by the latter, causing his cheeks to become red.

"Quiet you fool!" Elder Cheng Chao said with a hushed voice.

She then turned to Princess Meixiu and Ling Shin, before gritting her teeth and faced Shen Murong, w.a.n.g Dong and Wei w.a.n.g as well. "Everyone, be careful! There is a powerful skeletal monster in front of us! I'm unable to detect its cultivation realm as it seems like it is hibernating at the moment, but from my experience, this kind of monster should be in the Nascent Soul realm!"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked by this revelation and they immediately understood on what kind of danger they were about to face right now.

Wasting no more time, the trio nodded to each other before rallying to the Princess's side! Also, they released their bloodline transformation so as to not let the monster detect them!

It was a known fact that a monster's cultivation realm was always stronger than humans even if both were on the same realm. Now that they knew they were facing against a Nascent Soul realm monster, unless they wanted to die, it would be foolish to continue remaining hostile with each other, so they threw aside their previous petty arguments and stood back to back!

"Who among you is a Strategist? We need a battle plan right now!" Shen Murong grimly said.

When an enemy became too strong to handle, the best course of action was always planning a battle formation, and none was more expert in it than a Strategist cla.s.s cultivator!

"I am!" Ling Shin answered, which surprised the trio. They had never imagined that this hot tempered and foul-mouthed person could be a Strategist!

You really can't judge a person from their looks!

Quickly, Ling Shin's mind whirred into action as he broke down everyone's role. Based on his strength a.s.sessment on the people around him, Shen Murong, w.a.n.g Dong and Princess Meixiu became the Vanguard, with the former two as the tankers and the latter as the damage dealer!

Meanwhile, Elder Cheng Chao would become the support in the rear-guard to deflect any lethal attack towards the whole members of the group while preserving her strength as much as possible. Ruo Hen and Wei w.a.n.g became the damage dealer as well but their main role was to switch between the Vanguards whenever they needed it!

On the other hand, being the Strategist, Ling Shin would have to be in the rear-guard supervising the battle formation in order to instruct everyone for any minute changes to the plan. The dozens or so remaining soldiers of the Princess's expedition party were tasked to protect him at all cost!

This was going to be a drawn out battle and they needed to be on the defensive side. More than in trying to defeat the monster later, they needed to find the exit!

Additionally, the negligible amount of spiritual Qi in the air adds more to their problem and this was what had Ling Shin worried the most!

"I've contacted the Lord for a backup, but he says that we need to hold out on our own. Unless we are about to die, he would not be bothered to come here anytime soon because he is busy reading reports.." Wei w.a.n.g drew in the air with his spiritual Qi with an awkward expression.

When w.a.n.g Dong and Shen Murong saw this, they immediately wanted to choke their Lord.

Isn't this Lord of their's a little carefree right now? His words are a bit overboard too!

"Who is this Lord of yours? Can he teleport or something to be saying like that?" Princess Meixiu by the side got curious.

Naturally, Ling Shin who had already investigated Duan Li's background when they lost in the Battle Stadium against him before, replied;

"Their Lord is called Duan Li. He is only a measly Core Formation realm cultivator. That being said, his power level doesn't seem to scale with the normal standards for some unknown reason and I dare say that his true power should rival a Nascent Soul realm!"

He then continued, "I seem to recall that everyone was chanting him out loud to be the Child of Tian too!"

Elder Cheng Chao frowned as she thought to herself, "Child of Tian? In this remote empire? How can that be?"

Suddenly, her soul sense detected movements from the Skeletal monster in front of them!

"Everyone! It's coming!"

ROOAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!

With the screech from the monster, the whole area trembled and a few rocks fell from the ceiling before the silhouette of a gigantic and elongated monster appeared!

"What in the world... Isn't that..!!" they gasped when the dust finally settled, revealing the true figure of the monster!

"Sh*t! Sh*t!" Ruo Hen cursed as his back was drenched in sweat and his legs were trembling.

It was a monster from the legends thought to be extinct..

The Skull Centipede Emperor!

(Author's Note: I'm using the visual from the Skull Reaper in sword art online lol! You can imagine the situation to be like when Kirito and the rest fought that monster for the first time!)
