Chapter 314: Defeating the bandits
The bandits’ leader bore the name Krane, a Middle Wave King who had survived numerous dangers while living in the underworld. But never before had he felt so close to death as when he laid eyes on the young man who had effortlessly killed the burly Astral Wave cultivators with a single touch.
’Black hair, red force field, not older than twenty... It’s...’
Krane’s eyes widened as realization dawned upon him, and he uttered two words.
"Cain Laurifer!"
The rest of the bandits shared the same shocked expression when they heard Cain’s name. His reputation had spread far and wide across the empire after the events in Blood Sea, but it resonated most deeply in the underworld. He was the young man who had thwarted the plans of a Dark King and survived.
Cain’s eyebrows twitched as he noticed how easily the bandits recognized him, but he didn’t let that distract him. None of them would be leaving this place alive.
Krane observed how Cain’s killing intent surged, causing him to clench his fists. He had heard rumors about how the young man managed to face Early Wave Kings, but someone at the Middle Stage was much stronger.
Unfortunately for the middle-aged man, his condition was special, and his power had severe limitations, so he did not dare to grow confident.
Krane assessed the situation and quickly realized that escaping was possible for him, but the same couldn’t be said for the rest of his comrades.
Doubt momentarily flickered in Krane’s eyes, but then a memory flashed through his mind. Silver light burst from his eyes at that instant as he unleashed his energy.
"RUN NOW!"
Those words surprised Wave Champions, and they were not alone since the behavior of the middle-aged bandit also shocked Cain.
