Now, Lin Fan casually slung the Eternal Axe over his shoulder, like a leader inspecting a grand military parade, glancing at both sides with a furrowed brow.
“Didn’t you all hear me clearly? Men on the left, women on the right—line up properly!” Did these guys actually think he was joking with them?
Lin Fan admitted that the girl was indeed beautiful, but he wasn’t the type to be swayed by beauty. When he got serious, even he himself was afraid of what he might do, let alone a pretty girl.
Under Lin Fan’s stern gaze, Gong Bingye furrowed her brow slightly, and eventually moved slowly to the right. The Fourteen Sand Bandits hesitated, but finally, after a nod from Sha Dulong, they obediently lined up on the side with the Black Armored Guards, standing shoulder to shoulder.
“Big brother, what exactly does this guy mean?” Sha Daotian gripped his weapon tightly, feeling helpless inside. They were bandits by nature, yet now they were being robbed themselves—what a disgrace! If word got out, they’d be the laughingstock of the world.
“Be quiet,” Sha Dulong pressed a hand on Sha Daotian’s arm, urging him to stay calm and not act rashly.
At this moment, Sha Dulong quietly observed Lin Fan, hoping to gauge his strength. This man’s aura was extremely restrained; his cultivation level was unclear.
But from the moment Lin Fan had cleaved the Hundred-Legged Celestial Dragon in two with a single axe strike, Sha Dulong already understood—this man was no ordinary opponent. Then he glanced at Gong Bingye, standing alone on the right, and a mocking smile curled his lips.
Standing on the right, Gong Bingye’s mind was racing, thinking of ways to get this man to help her.
Losing her wealth didn’t matter, but she had to ensure her safe escape from this place.
At this moment, Lin Fan gestured toward a short figure among the Black Armored Guards.
The small armored guard looked visibly nervous, but eventually approached Lin Fan with hesitant steps.
“Go collect their storage bags one by one,” Lin Fan ordered, his aura radiating dominance as he leaned on the Eternal Axe.
“Yes, sir!” How could the armored guard dare to refuse? He immediately began collecting the bags from his companions.
“You lot better behave yourselves. If you don’t, this axe here doesn’t eat vegetables,” Lin Fan warned. This was his first time robbing someone—unlike his usual ways back in Cangling Continent, where he considered robbery the fastest path to wealth.
Sometimes, robbing could even bring unexpected surprises.
Like discovering a rare treasure—just like this “Seven Sage Treasure Chart,” which had been sitting in his backpack for a long time, never unearthed. Now presented with the opportunity, Lin Fan naturally wouldn’t let it slip away.
“Brother, hand it over,” the armored guard sighed helplessly as he approached his companion to collect the loot.
The armored guard glanced at Lin Fan once more, then reluctantly handed over his storage bag.
The Black Armored Guards were relatively cooperative, handing over their storage bags without resistance. However, when it came to the Fourteen Sand Bandits, cooperation was lacking.
Sha Daotian shot the armored guard collecting the items a sharp glance, his eyes flashing with menace. He pulled out a storage bag from his robe and tossed it into the guard’s hands.
“Wait—” Lin Fan suddenly stepped forward, axe on his shoulder. “You call yourselves bandits, yet you only have one storage bag? Are you trying to make me look like a fool?”
Lin Fan stared at Sha Daotian, scanning him up and down, as if detecting traces of hidden treasures. “Behave yourself and hand them over.”
Sha Daotian’s heart burned with fury. They were bandits, always the ones robbing others, never the victims. This guy was being outrageously disrespectful.
Bandits had their pride, and now this man was trampling all over it—it was intolerable.
“I’ll kill you!” In that instant, Sha Daotian’s Yuan Qi surged. His curved blade slashed forward, trailing a long arc of blade light aimed directly at Lin Fan.
“Second Brother, stop!” Sha Dulong cried out in alarm, but it was already too late.
Lin Fan watched Sha Daotian charge in rage, a look of approval flickering across his face. Not bad, not bad—though just not bad.
“Bang—”
In that instant, the sky fell silent.
Sha Daotian, his Yuan Qi surging, stood frozen in his original pose—his curved blade raised high, his expression resolute and heroic.
But then, the curved blade clattered to the ground with a clang. His facial expression shifted slightly, twisting into a grimace of pain.
His mighty hands reached out, fingers spread wide, covering his crotch as he collapsed to the ground in agony.
A long, piercing scream tore through the sky, shaking the white clouds overhead.
“Ding! Congratulations on defeating Sha Daotian, a member of the Fourteen Sand Bandits at the early stage of Divine Insight.”
“Ding! Experience gained: 200,000. Killing yields even more experience and items.”
“Ding! Crotch-Kick Technique experience +10,000.”
…
The system notifications sounded sweetly in Lin Fan’s ears, and he felt especially satisfied with that last kick.
“Second Brother—” Sha Dulong cried out, his face filled with concern—and deep fear.
His second brother was at the early stage of Divine Insight, yet had been defeated in a single move. At this moment, Sha Dulong realized Lin Fan’s strength was unfathomable.
“Behave yourselves. If anyone dares to act up, their fate won’t be so merciful,” Lin Fan said calmly, still leaning on his axe. Then, he proceeded to collect several more storage bags from Sha Daotian.
With Sha Daotian as a warning, the rest were much more compliant. Eventually, with a heavy sigh, Sha Dulong handed over his own storage bag and a ring-shaped storage artifact hanging from his neck.
Inside were all the treasures they had painstakingly looted over the years—gone in the blink of an eye.
Sha Dulong held the items tightly in his hands, reluctant to let go. But when he met Lin Fan’s gaze, his heart quivered violently, and with great reluctance, he finally handed them over.
The Fourteen Sand Bandits were completely stripped bare—this was like the sky collapsing on them. But under the circumstances, there was nothing they could do.
Lin Fan smiled slightly, feeling unusually pleased.
Then, when he approached Gong Bingye, he gave her a careful look. Her hair was tied up, giving the young Gong Bingye a more mature and noble air.
Her white, simple robe exuded an ethereal, pure aura, making her irresistibly captivating at first glance.
However—
“Hand over your stuff,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Senior, if possible, would you consider visiting Mo City? The Gong family would be honored to fulfill any request you have,” Gong Bingye’s eyes flickered with subtle calculation.
“Hand over your stuff. This is a robbery. Please respect everyone’s time,” Lin Fan thought coldly to himself. This little temptress trying to seduce him? Dream on! He had seen countless beauties from the Island Nations, studied every bust size from A to G in depth. Seductive expressions? He’d seen them all like daily meals.
Trying to stop my robbery with beauty? Impossible.
Gong Bingye looked at Lin Fan and finally removed the storage ring from her finger, reluctantly handing it over.
“Hand over whatever’s in your robe,” Lin Fan placed the ring into his backpack and glanced sideways.
Gong Bingye’s expression remained calm, but a flicker of panic passed through her eyes. She shook her head. “I have nothing else.”
“Behave yourself,” Lin Fan said.
“If Senior doesn’t believe me, feel free to check yourself,” Gong Bingye said, shocking Lin Fan with this unexpected challenge.
To Lin Fan, this sounded like a provocation.
And at this moment, Gong Bingye was making a gamble—that he wouldn’t actually harm her.
Gong Bingye had the ability to read faces. She could tell that although this man acted strangely, he wasn’t a truly evil person.
Lin Fan, however, felt a flicker of displeasure.
She was trying to provoke him. Judging from just a glance, she was at least a D-cup.
But…
