EGG OF LIFE

Lin Chen woke up from his slumber just as the sun revealed itself. After returning the room key, he washed his face and went out of the city.

This time he wanted to continue his adventure to the Imperial Capital, but it was different from before. Lin Chen chose to ride a horse instead of flying, and he wanted to enjoy the atmosphere of the trip while waiting for Xue Ying to finish upgrading.

After he finished buying the horses and some items needed for the trip, Lin Chen rode his horse at a normal speed through the main road that connected several cities.

I hear many birds chirping, echoing each other, small animals such as squirrels jumping between tree branches, and the wind blows slowly with cool weather adding to the comfort while travelling.

This situation can make a person relax for a moment from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoying the beauty of nature. However, behind this comfort lies a cruel bandit hiding in the forest's depths.

"Why is there always a forest on every road leading to another city?" Lin Chen muttered as he looked at the left and right of the road filled with trees.

The journey from Shuyan Province to the Capital covered a distance of more than 15 thousand kilometres. With the current speed and several breaks, it was likely that Lin Chen would take 40 days to arrive.

"It seems that when I arrive in the next city, I will send a letter to the people at home," said Lin Chen looking at his horse.

A few hours later, Lin Chen entered the depths of the forest. The trees are towering, with sunlight visible from the gaps in the leaves.

"According to rumors, in this forest there is a lake covered by an array of illusions and once upon a time there was a Moon Goddess from the Heaven Realm who once bathed there, the water is efficacious for beautification and has very high life energy," said Lin Chen looking around the forest.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and shook his head, "Hahaha, how could the news be true, but it wouldn't hurt to find out, right hehehe" he said with a meaningful smile.

Lin Chen spurred his horse at high speed. He headed for a place with abundant Qi intensity, with his current cultivation making him extremely sensitive to changes in Qi energy density.

Hundreds of gold nuggets could be seen somewhere in the forest's depths with several people chatting, accompanied by wine.

"I didn't think that the carriage we robbed had so much treasure," said one person with a wound on his face.

"Right! But the guards are so weak!" said another.

"Aren't they idiots! Sending ants to escort a carriage full of money," said another.

Tap…

Footsteps sounded above the tree, "Report the Chief. I saw a young man who looked like a rich man walking towards this direction," said the man wearing closed clothes on a tree.

"Are you sure? Is he strong?" asked the big man, almost three meters tall, in a deep voice.

"I can guarantee it. Even on his finger there is a ring of storage and his cultivation level is only at the Qi Refinement Realm", replied the man on top of the tree.

Hearing that, the big man chuckled lightly, "Hehehe good! Let's kill that young man!" he said with a sly smile.

Lin Chen continued to move quickly with his horse, "Oh, it looks like he's calling for reinforcements," said Lin Chen, who sensed someone else's presence.

After only a few dozen meters between the two of them, Lin Chen lowered his horse speed and looked around like a clumsy person, "I knew you were there! Get out of here!" said Lin Chen.

srakk…

srakk…

From behind the bushes came out several men carrying various weapons, even the man with the largest body carried a large hammer weapon enough to destroy a house wall.

"Hahaha! It's great that you want to be able to feel our presence," said one of them.

"Of course I know, my cultivation is already at the Qi Refinement Realm after all," said Lin Chen arrogantly.

Hearing that, the group of armed men or what could be known as forest bandits burst out laughing, "Hahaha! What a cute brat, how great is Qi Refinement," said the big man giving off his Heavenly Path aura.

Lin Chen, who sensed the Heavenly Path's aura, pretended to be afraid, "Y-You, how about that?" Lin Chen stuttered.

"Hahaha! What's the matter kid. We could have let you live, but give up all your property," said another.

"Treasure? I only have this storage ring. If you let me go, I'll give you this," said Lin Chen, removing the ring on his finger.

'Why is this boy so obedient? Is there something hidden up his sleeve?' thought the big man who served as the bandit leader.

"Are you really going to give it up? Easy as that?" he asked for sure.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and tossed his storage ring, "But that's a lie. Hiyahiyahiya", said Lin Chen, who ran to grab one of the forest bandit heads.

Cracks…

Zraasshhh…

Blood splattered in all directions, creating a terrifying sight.

The bandits couldn't believe what they saw. A young man who looked weak easily crushed his head with just a grip.

"Bastard! Kill him!"

"Sword of Death!"

"Killer Stab!"

"Hammer of Destruction!"

Threw various attacks at Lin Chen, Lin Chen calmly didn't budge from all the attacks.

Boom!

"Hahaha! That kid must be dead!" said the bandit chief when he saw a thick puff of smoke.

"That's right, Chief!"

Swoosh…

The thick smoke that covered it was blown away by the wind, revealing a young man standing proudly without any injuries. Scratched, not even his clothes at all.

"H-How comes he's still alive?" said one of the bandits.

Seeing the shock of the bandits, Lin Chen stretched his body, "This time, it's my turn", he said as he stomped on the ground firmly.

Whush…

When Lin Chen was in front of the big man, he swung his leg in the air, "Life Egg-Destroying Kick!" said Lin Chen loudly as he kicked the big man's groin.

Cracks…

"Aaarrrgggghhh!"

A scream of pain resounded through the forest, and the big man rolled to the ground clutching his lower abdomen.

The bandits shuddered in horror at seeing their leader being defeated in such a ridiculous manner. Without thinking, they ran in all directions.

Of course, Lin Chen didn't stand still watching his prey try to escape. Lin Chen quickly chased the bandits, "Shoot Madun!" said Lin Chen, who suddenly got behind the bandits and kicked him hard in the head.

"Headshots!"

Zraasshhh…

Zraasshhh…

Zraasshhh…

Tuk…

Tuk…

Tuk…

Several headless bodies fell from the top of the tree, with blood flowing profusely.

Tap…

The big man who saw Lin Chen walk up to him without thinking prostrated himself, begging for mercy, "Bo-boy. Oh no. Sir... Please forgive me, then I will tell our headquarters, which is full of treasures," he said pitifully.

"Headquarters? Ah, no need. Is your base there right? And why should I forgive you? As a leader, you must accompany your subordinates," said Lin Chen, smiling while pointing toward the bandits.

The big man was shocked when Lin Chen already found out his base, and what's more, was Lin Chen telling him just to die which made him angry. He quickly grabbed his weapon and hit with all his might towards Lin Chen.

"Handsome Man Sentilan!" said Lin Chen, flicking his finger on the bandit chief's forehead with his Half God power.

Zraasshhh…

Lin Chen was speechless when he learned that his flick could easily crush people's heads.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to," said Lin Chen, looking at the large headless body in front of him.
