Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

They were dead within seconds.

The fight didn’t stop.

More enemies flooded towards them after seeing the two die instantly. They wanted revenge against the attackers that killed their allies.

"Deranged Tang Clan! How dare you attack us. We did nothing at all! Everything that happened was all your fault!"

A man wearing a tattered robe appeared from within the wall. His beard was long and scraggy while his hair was messy and unkempt. He looked like a beggar more than an evil bandit with his sickly yellow complexion and gaunt face.

"Yeun Dae-Ho!"

Tang Yao shouted the name of the bandit. A name that rang in Central Plain as one of the feared 6 Stars martial artists who roamed the land in search for treasures and resources.

He was known as one of the most powerful martial artists in Green Forest Bandit, hence his name was feared throughout many clans and sects.

"Is it you?" Yeun Dae-Ho narrowed his eyes like a predator at Tang Yao and the other members of Tang Clan as he examined them carefully, "What’s your name?"

"Tang Yao," Tang Yao answered coldly and raised his sword, "I shall destroy Green Forest Bandit and return peace to Central Plain."

"What arrogance." Yeun Dae-Ho replied coldly as he snorted and laughed mockingly, "Who do you think you are? Returning peace to the Central Plain? This is Murim. No one can bring peace to Murim. Everyone is a slave to their desires and craves for power!"

"Our clan will bring peace to this world!"

Tang Yao declared firmly as he tightened his grip on his sword.

"Hah! Show me how much power you have now!" Yeun Dae-ho laughed loudly as he pointed at Tang Yao, "Kill them all!"

The rest of Green Forest Bandit members charged towards them after hearing his order, trying to kill as many warriors from Tang Clan as possible before killing him. 10 vs 20.

Overwhelmed by numbers, the Tang Clan members retreated back while defending against their enemies’ attacks with their swords and shields. But they couldn’t last long with such low numbers, soon being forced back against the wall.

Yeun Dae-Ho’s Qi flared as he charged toward them while sending a barrage of Qi bullets towards them.

Tang Yao blocked it with his sword and parried against his attack, clashing against his blade while defending himself with his. Qi covered his blade while he struck with quick slashes towards the enemy’s chest.

But the bandit was stronger than he expected, easily blocking every blow by sending counter attacks that hit his shoulders and arms, cutting deep into his flesh and causing blood to gush out of his wounds.

The wounds were shallow but they stung terribly and bled profusely, forcing him to retreat.

"What’s wrong, kid? You said you would restore peace or whatever. Where is your energy from earlier?"

Yeun Dae-Ho mocked him while brandishing his sword once again. His eyes shone brightly with dark murderous intent as he charged toward him, aiming to kill him instantly.

"If that’s all, then die!"

A raging Qi shot out from his blade, aiming straight at Tang Yao’s heart. It was fast and powerful, enough to cut through steel easily without needing any effort.

If Tang Yao was hit by that, his life would be gone.

"Yao!"

Tang Soso shouted loudly. An enemy suddenly appeared before her, blocking her movement with a grin.

"Where are you going, bitch?" He laughed wickedly, "Let’s have some fun while waiting for your brother’s death."

"Grrrr!"

The attack was fast and deadly, making Tang Yao unable to react. But Leo reacted faster than him.

"No, you can’t kill him."

He raised his pistol and pulled the trigger. Electricity cracked around it as plasma bullet shot out and impacted against Yeun Dae-Ho’s Qi’s strike, dispersing it into air.

In the end, Qi was just another form of energy. It could destroy the ground, which meant it had mass and density. It could move fast enough to break the sound barrier, which meant it had momentum.

And energy had its limits too. If the amount of energy in something was more than the object could sustain, it would explode. That was what happened to a bullet.

"What? No way!" Yeun Dae-Ho shouted in surprise when he saw his attack stopped completely. "What did you do? What’s that thing?"

"Gya gya gya, you’re talking too much." Leo shook his head as he sneered coldly at Yeun Dae-Ho, "You think you have time for that?"

"Huh?"

As a martial artist, Yeun Dae-Ho’s senses were enhanced beyond normal humans. He could feel the air shifting around him as electricity crackled near his ear. Then he noticed Leo was pointing his gun at him.

"Dodge!"

Yeun Dae-Ho shouted while jumping back away from Leo just as a large bolt of electricity shot out of his gun. A flash of light passed through him and hit the person behind him.

"Huh..."

Without realizing it, a big hole had been drilled right through his body and out of his chest.

"Wha-" Yeun Dae-Ho couldn’t believe what he saw. "Jang Tae-Ho?"

His friend...his fellow comrade in crime...died before he could even blink.

"Eh...Jang Tae-Ho!" He cried out in anger and sorrow as he watched his companion fall lifelessly onto the ground, blood pouring from his wounds while his eyes turned red.

Unable to contain his anger, Yeun Dae-Ho’s Qi flared violently around him as he screamed hysterically before charging toward Leo while swinging his sword. His movements were fast and precise like a gale.

Leo prepared to take him on directly. He raised his left hand, covered in the bodysuit, and took the attack directly. He grabbed the Qi-covered blade with his left hand without flinching as sparks flew when they collided against each other.

A surprise was apparent on Yeun Dae-Ho’s face. He certainly never expected his attack to be stopped by a bare hand. Not even blood could be seen from where they clashed together.

Using his leg as a pivot, Leo kicked his enemy in the stomach.

"Gah!"

The impact sent Yeun Dae-Ho flying away. He crashed against a nearby tree as dust scattered in every direction before falling onto his knees while coughing violently. Blood sprayed out from his mouth along with broken teeth and saliva mixed together.

His internal organs were damaged badly but he managed to stay alive thanks to his strong vitality and his Qi.

However, Leo wasn’t kind enough to let him recover.

"Jessica."

"Yes, Leader."

The secretary suddenly appeared behind Yeun Dae-Ho. Her threads were moving like snakes towards the enemy’s neck. It wrapped around his throat tightly, cutting through his skin and muscles while ripping apart his veins and arteries until blood spurted out of them freely.

"C-Coward. You call yourself a martial artist?!"

Yeun Dae-Ho used his last strength to grab onto the threads with his hands, trying to break free from its grasp. However, they were too strong to be easily broken off. His body trembled uncontrollably as he struggled desperately in vain.

"I never call myself one."

With that said, Jessica activated the vibration and cut his head off cleanly. Blood spurted out from his severed head before falling onto the ground lifelessly while his body collapsed as well, lifeless and unmoving.

One of Green Forest Bandit’s main forces was dead. The remaining ambush team noticed their sub-leader was dead and got their morale crushed.

Noticing it, Tang Yao gave out his order.

"Kill them all!"
