Warren's Rise and Fall

Wang Lunwo got up early in the morning, washed himself, and waited for Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yaner to get up. The sunlight shone into the house through the cracks in the window, as if adding a bit of tranquility and hope to this simple residence.

Wang Lunwo sat on the chair, looking at Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er's room from time to time. His mind was full of thoughts about the upcoming action. Although he had eliminated three leaders of the twelve bandits during this period, there were still nine major bandits who were causing trouble in the Yunan Mountains. Now that he had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Dragon Ridge Realm, the feeling of power flowing in his body made him excited and gave him a sense of responsibility.

The three of them sat around a square table and had breakfast. The table was filled with simple food, steaming buns with a faint wheat aroma, and a few side dishes, which seemed particularly warm in this quiet morning.

"Brother Changsun, Miss Sima, I have now broken through to the early stage of the Dragon Ridge Realm, and my combat power is incomparable. Now that we have eliminated the three leaders of the twelve bandits, I think the other side will be more vigilant. We can no longer let the villagers act as bait for us. I am afraid that the three of us will need to act on our own next." Wang Lunwo analyzed. His eyes were solemn. These bandits have been doing evil in this area for many years and have killed countless innocent villagers. They came here to eradicate these disasters, but every step must be cautious.

Changsun Mingzhi listened to Wang Lunwo's words and nodded slightly, but his face still had that confident and even somewhat conceited expression. He ate the steamed bun calmly and said slowly: "My dear brother, first of all, congratulations on your cultivation reaching a new level. As for the twelve bandits, I really don't care too much. With your talent of understanding a trace of the aura of the Great Dao of Water, plus my Liang Yi Four Symbols Formation, the twelve bandits are no problem at all. You must know that the Liang Yi Four Symbols Formation can trap and kill the existence of the God Transformation Realm. I think the leader of the twelve bandits, Sikong Xiangnan, has a perfect cultivation in the Condensation Dan Realm. It should be very easy for us to deal with him."

Wang Lunwo sighed inwardly, wondering if it was because his eldest grandson brother had fallen in love recently, or because he was able to practice again, or because he had obtained the best magic weapon, the Liangyi Four Symbols Array, and seemed to be a little arrogant. The Liangyi Four Symbols Array was indeed a rare magic weapon, which was obtained by Changsun Mingzhi by chance. There were ancient and mysterious runes engraved on the array, and whenever it was activated, it would emit powerful spiritual power fluctuations, as if it contained the most primitive power between heaven and earth.

Previously, Changsun Mingzhi's cultivation stagnated due to some special reasons, which made him depressed. But now he can not only practice again, but also has such a powerful magic weapon, and it is difficult to hide the high spirits in his heart. Although Wang Lunwo was murmuring in his heart, he actually knew that the Liangyi Four Symbols Array was the capital of Changsun's pride, and he had not been able to continue practicing before, and now he was in high spirits, so he just let him be.

Sima Yan'er next to him naturally agreed with Changsun Mingzhi, and her beautiful eyes were full of admiration for Changsun Mingzhi. "Yes, Wang Lunwo, don't destroy your own prestige and boost others' ambitions. With Brother Changsun's two-element and four-element formation, Sikong Xiangnan can't make any waves." Sima Yan'er's voice was crisp and pleasant, like a clear spring in the mountains. The relationship between her and Changsun Mingzhi became deeper and deeper. During this period of adventure, the two supported each other and gradually fell in love.

Wang Lunwo looked at the two of them and smiled bitterly in his heart. Well, you haven't even become a couple yet, but you're already following each other's lead, forcing me to eat dog food. I'd better keep my head down and eat. He lowered his head and continued to eat breakfast, but his mind had already drifted to the bandit stronghold he was about to face.

After breakfast, the three of them took a short break and prepared to set off. Wang Lunwo checked his weapons, which were still a gold-attributed axe and shield. This set of equipment had accompanied him through countless battles and had become his right-hand man. Wang Lunwo stroked the axe and murmured to himself, "You are really my great treasures."

Changsun Mingzhi carefully took the Liangyi Four Symbols Array Plate into his arms. The plate emitted a faint light, as if responding to Changsun Mingzhi's touch. Sima Yan'er sorted out her clothes. In her hand was a long whip, which was her weapon. Although it looked ordinary, it could unleash powerful attacks in her hands.

The three of them walked out of their residence, and the sunlight shone on them, as if they were covered with a layer of golden light. They walked along a small path, which was winding and led to the bandit's stronghold. The trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, and the occasional bird calls made the quiet forest more lively.

During the journey, Wang Lunwo kept observing the surroundings. He was very alert because he knew the bandits might set up an ambush on the road. Changsun Mingzhi seemed a little careless, and his mind seemed to be immersed in the confidence of the two-element four-element array. Sima Yan'er followed Changsun Mingzhi closely, and her eyes looked at Changsun Mingzhi from time to time, her eyes full of love.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more dangerous. The mountain road was rugged and uneven, and in some places they even had to climb steep rocks. But the three of them did not retreat at all. Their goal was clear, which was to eradicate these bandits and bring peace to the people in this area.

After several hours of arduous trekking, they finally arrived near the next stronghold of the bandits. They hid in a bush and observed the situation of the stronghold. The stronghold was built in a valley, surrounded by steep peaks, and there was only a narrow passage to enter. There were some simple fortifications around the stronghold, and several bandits were patrolling.

Wang Lunwo whispered, "It seems that this is the bandit's base. I don't know which leader is stationed here. We'd better be careful." Changsun Mingzhi nodded, his eyes still showing confidence. Sima Yan'er clenched the long whip in her hand, ready to fight at any time.

They discussed the action plan and decided that Wang Lunwo would sneak into the stronghold first to find out the situation, and then Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er would take action according to the situation. Wang Lunwo quietly left the bushes and used the water mist breath-holding method with the water attribute to make his figure blurred. He approached the stronghold carefully, avoided the patrolling bandits, and successfully sneaked into the stronghold.

In the stronghold, the bandits were busy. Some were carrying supplies, some were cleaning their weapons, and some were drinking and having fun. Wang Lunwo was walking through the grass at the edge of the stronghold. He found that the scale of this stronghold was larger than they had imagined. There were many rooms inside. He didn't know what the bandits had hidden inside.

Just as Wang Lunwo was about to go deeper, he suddenly heard footsteps. He quickly hid in the bushes in a corner, only to see several bandits walking towards him. He held his breath, fearing that he would be discovered by the bandits. The bandits walked past him without noticing his presence. Wang Lunwo breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk deeper into the stronghold.

He came to the entrance of a hall. There were two people sitting in the middle of the hall. The man was tall and had a face full of flesh. He should be the leader of the twelve bandits. There were several men standing beside the two men. They were discussing something. Wang Lunwo hid at the entrance of the hall and listened to their conversation with his ears perked up.

"Two leaders, we have lost three leaders, and now the brothers are a little panicked." said a bandit.

One of them frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? Those guys are just lucky. We have tight defenses here. If they dare to come, we will make sure they never come back."

"But leader, I heard that one of them has comprehended the aura of the great way of water, and another has a very powerful magic weapon." said another bandit.

The two men laughed loudly and said, "What water way, what magic weapon, are nothing but clouds in the eyes of us brothers. As long as they dare to come, I will let them see how powerful I am."

Wang Lunwo listened to the two and sneered in his heart, thinking that these two guys were just like the thick-browed man before, and seriously underestimated their strength. He quietly left the hall and prepared to go back to meet up with Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er. Just as he was about to leave the hall, he was suddenly discovered by a bandit. The bandit shouted, "There is a spy, come quickly!"

Suddenly, the stronghold was in chaos. The bandits picked up their weapons and rushed towards Wang Lunwo. Wang Lunwo quickly cast a spell and started a fierce battle with the bandits. He swung the axe in his hand, and the sharp energy of the axe flew towards the bandits, knocking down several bandits who were in front of him.

Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er heard the noise in the stronghold and knew that Wang Lunwo was in danger. They did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards the stronghold. Changsun Mingzhi used the magic of wind attribute. Suddenly, several sharp wind blades flew towards the bandits.

Sima Yan'er cast a spell, and ice blades shot out from her hands, burning towards the bandits. The bandits screamed in agony from the ice blades and retreated one after another. Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er took the opportunity to rush into the stronghold and meet up with Wang Lunwo.

Wang Lunwo was relieved when he saw the two of them coming. He said, "Let's fight our way out together." Changsun Mingzhi nodded and said, "Okay, let's cast spells together and fight our way out."

The three of them joined forces and used their strongest spells. Wang Lunwo's axe, Changsun Mingzhi's wind blade, and Sima Yan'er's ice blade intertwined to form a powerful force. The bandits were vulnerable to this force and fell one after another.

The two leaders were furious when they saw their men being beaten back. They attacked the three men themselves. One of them held a spear, which emitted a powerful spiritual power. The other held a mountain axe, which shone with cold light. Wang Lunwo, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er rushed to fight.

The two men beat and scolded each other, and one of them spoke up, "You three little guys are the ones who killed Mo Sang, Murong Chaoyang and Yizi Nongmei before."

"So that guy's called Yizi Thick Eyebrows. I thought he didn't have a name." Wang Lunwo also started to fight back.

"My boy, you are so arrogant. My two brothers Tu Lao Ba and Tu Lao Jiu have always used the combined attack method to fight against the enemy. You haven't experienced our strength yet. Moreover, you are only at the Dragon Spine Realm of the Body Refining Stage, and you want to fight against the two of us who are at the early stage of the Condensation Pill Realm. Although you are a genius, it seems that your brain is not enough."

"Brother Changsun, I want to fight these two alone to consolidate my cultivation in the early stage of the Dragon Backbone Realm. And I also want to see what the gap is between me and the cultivators in the early stage of the Condensation Pill Realm." Wang Lunwo also felt like fighting for a moment.

"Okay, brother, if I see that you are no match for them, I will use the Liang Yi Si Xiang formation to take them away." As he said that, Changsun Mingzhi took Sima Yan'er to attack ordinary bandits, leaving the battlefield to Wang Lunwo to fight Tu Lao Ba and Tu Lao Jiu.

"Boy, you are really arrogant." Tu Laoba said as he retreated to Tu Laojiu. Both of them put away their weapons and took out five-foot long swords instead.

"Boy, look carefully. These are the five-foot long-bladed double swords we specially made. With our combined attack technique, we will definitely kill you here." Tu Lao Ba shouted arrogantly.

Wang Lunwo did not dare to be careless. He stacked up all the buffs on his body, put the water shield defense in the innermost layer, put on the gold armor on the outside, and finally the earth array wall. He then activated the water perception to predict the opponent's attack, and then used his agile water body skills to attack the two of them.

"Come on, you're just in time." Tu Laojiu shouted.

Tu Laojiu attacked from the left, Tu Laoba attacked from the right. Wang Lunwo blocked Tu Laojiu with his shield while fighting with Tu Laoba with his axe. However, the gap between his cultivation and the two was too big. He was one level lower than the Qi level, so his physical strength was naturally insufficient. He was knocked back nearly 10 meters after a confrontation.

"Boy, are you still so arrogant now?" Tu Laoba said as he made a knife flower.

Wang Lunwo was naturally a person who would not admit defeat. Since there were two of you, very good, I would defeat one first. Wang Lunwo had already planned to use the 12 grids of energy that had been stored in the axe before, and planned to kill one person first when he was caught off guard and had not discovered the secret of his weapon, and the rest would be easy to deal with.

Tu Laoba and Tu Laojiu saw that Wang Lunwo didn't say a word, and thought that he was shocked by his own fighting power, so they rushed forward without stopping for long.

"Just in time." Wang Lunwo was excited. He immediately activated the 12 grids of gold energy stored in the axe. Wang Lunwo's cultivation was no longer a rookie in the Bone Forging Realm. A 10-meter-wide golden axe energy flew towards the two. The two were in the air and could not react for a while, but they could sense that they could not take this blow.

Tu Laojiu made up his mind, "Brother, avenge me!" He shouted, kicked Tu Laoba away, and faced the sharp axe. Without any surprise, Tu Laojiu was cut in half.

"Brother!" Tu Laoba's eyes were red with anger. "You bastard, I will kill you to avenge my brother." As he said that, he raised his long knife and flew towards Wang Lunwo.

Wang Lunwo was much more relaxed at this time. Tu Laoba's actions at this time were completely within his expectations. He activated a trace of the aura of the Great Way of Water, attached it to the axe, and used the principle of gold generating water to burst out a powerful water-blue attack.

Tu Laoba lost his life in the eyes of disbelief.

Seeing this, Changsun Mingzhi, who was not far away, could not help but praise, "My dear brother, you are amazing. You fought two people alone and remained unscathed. You are truly a genius. I think I will have to rely on you to take care of me from now on."

"Brother Changsun, you're joking. Let's deal with the remaining bandits first." The battle just now did not consume too much physical strength of Wang Lunwo, but he is now clear about his own combat power. An early Dragon Ridge Realm cultivator is almost a complete winner against an ordinary early Condensation Realm cultivator. After all, these bandits do not have any powerful skills, nor have they realized the breath of the Great Dao. They are just Condensation Realm cultivators who rely on accumulated resources. They are just for show and not worth worrying about.

Sima Yan'er pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Wang Lunwo, it seems that you are starting to give orders." Perhaps Sima Yan'er said this because she didn't want Changsun Mingzhi to lose face.

However, Wang Lunwo did not take it to heart, but began to hunt down the remaining bandits.

When the bandits saw their leader was defeated, they immediately lost their fighting spirit. Some of them fled, some fought to the death, and some knelt down to beg for mercy. Wang Lunwo, Zhangsun Mingzhi, and Sima Yan'er killed those who fled and fought to the death, but did not kill those who knelt down to beg for mercy for the time being, intending to hand them over to the villagers for disposal. They successfully eradicated this bandit stronghold, and eliminated another major threat to the people of the Yunan Mountains.

The three of them walked out of the stronghold, the sun shining on them. Their faces were filled with smiles of victory, and their hearts were filled with joy. They knew that their efforts were not in vain, and the people in this area could live a peaceful life again.

On the way back, Changsun Mingzhi and Sima Yan'er flirted with each other, and their feelings became deeper. Wang Lunwo looked at the two of them and felt happy for them. He knew that their love had become as solid as a rock during this adventure.

They returned to their homes and were warmly welcomed by the villagers. The villagers looked at them with gratitude, their eyes full of tears. They brought peace and tranquility to the villagers and became heroes in their hearts.
