The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 374: One of You Will Speak!

Hearing the voices coming from that place ahead, Minos and Abby remained standing in the same place as before, waiting for what would come next.

The two were on alert at this point to know what was going on around here. Of course, this was mainly due to the effects of Abby's innate ability. But both were genuinely curious about this incident.

After days traveling through this Flooded Valley, neither of them had seen other humans on their way, but now all at once, such a thing was happening. And from the voices they heard, it looked like these people were ambushing other travelers passing through this place.

'Let's see who these idiots are...' Minos thought to himself as he continued to sit behind Abby, hugging her waist.

Naturally, he had already noticed the number of people in front of him and the cultivation level of each one there.

There were 14 people, and their strength was between levels 43 and 46.

As for Abby, she too had noticed these signs and was already on her guard for these people.

And after a few seconds, finally, a group of men wearing wild clothes appeared in front of the couple. Some of these people had hideous scars on their faces, others had huge tattoos on their chests, while each handled weapons of different types.

Much of the group had expressions of satisfaction when they finally saw their target...

There were just two youths of levels 42 and 43, and one of the two was even a stunning beauty...

"Hahaha, we hit the jackpot! We can put this brat to work in the crystal mines, and we might even have a new 'toy' in our group!" One of them commented with a wicked smile on his face as he licked his lips with the tip of his tongue.

"And look at this beast. We will certainly have enough meat for the next two months!"

While they were making their comments about Minos and Abby, finally their boss, gave an order when looking at two men of that group. "Douglas, Nisesh, take care of these two quickly. I bet they both have a lot of items in their spatial rings."

"OK, boss!" The two responded as they got even closer to Abby's beast.

And seeing and hearing this group, Minos was slowly getting angrier and angrier about this situation.

He was not a person who would lose his temper easily. In fact, aside from the problem he had with his absent mother and his father's death, this young man would rarely feel angry.

But in addition to these two weaknesses, he also could not bear the fact that someone uttered such words about one of his partners. Besides being something disgusting to say to anyone, it was like humiliation to him!

He then quickly descended from his young friend's beast, shortly after asking her to stay behind him the entire time, without running away.

He then looked at the group of men, about 20 meters away from him, and then look at the two guys walking towards him. "Looks like you're one of those groups of worms that kidnap and enslave travelers in this region, right?"

"Oh? It looks like you're not ignorant, brat. But what are you going to do? Hehehe." One of them said this while laughing and pointing a dagger to Minos.

"I imagine you guys have been doing this for a long time, huh? Do you have any camps nearby? Reinforcements?" Minos probed the group, trying to get more information for his future actions...

"Zhaha, you ask a lot of questions for someone in such a situation, brat!"

"Hmm, it doesn't matter..." Minos then quickly activated all of his battle techniques as he moved at high speed, appearing beside those two individuals.

Simultaneously, neither of these two could move even 1 millimeter when a sword appeared in Minos' hand, and this young man made a horizontal attack!

Swooish!

Puff!

"One way or another, one of you will speak!" Minos finished his speech just as two heads fell in front of him, just before the bodies collapsed to the ground, spurting blood from their necks.

All this happened in a split second, and Minos and Abby's enemies had barely heard this young man's comment, followed by a brief pause when those two thugs died!

But that wasn't all. At that moment, more than half of them couldn't even move, at the same time that their energies were sucked away at an alarming rate.

"Shit! We are screwed!" One of them screamed in awe just after Minos finished his sentence.

"Run for your lives!" The group leader shockingly said this, with his pupils wholly contracted. 'But what kind of monster do we offended?' He wondered in wonder as he turned to leave that spot.

However, such a thing was futile. In addition to Minos being much faster than each of them, this group was under the space influenced by the young sovereign's techniques!

"Since you attacked us, forget about running!"

After saying that, Minos once again moved through that part of the forest. He kept his defense and support techniques active while switching between the Spatial Sword and Explosive Steps.

Within seconds, Minos 'froze' the space around about 8 of these thugs as he sent air blades toward the necks of each of them.

Shortly after doing so, he ran towards the remnants again, and even before the previous heads hit the ground, young Stuart finished other enemies.

'Shit! How can this be? This brat is only at level 43. How can he be so strong?' One of them wondered, running away with everything he could to save his own life.

Swooish!

Unfortunately for this thug, he could barely get a chance to try something else when his body was split into two halves, from head to legs.

After that death, only two of these men remained, both of level 46. The two had run faster and had naturally avoided Minos' merciless blows at first.

However, it was challenging for the two to escape, and soon the young Stuart appeared in front of them, finishing one of them with a blow and leaving the other alive.

"Hells!" The remnant of the group screamed in despair, looking to the side, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. "Please, don't kill me! I tell you everything I know!" He begged.

But Minos didn't give a damn about this man. He just made a quick move and immobilized his enemy and destroyed this man's cultivation. "I said one of you would speak, but don't think I need your agreement!"

After the battle ended, Abby quickly crossed that piece of forest, arriving at the side of Minos and that man.

She had watched all of this, following her partner's instructions, trying to stay behind him the entire time while keeping her guard up. But the fight had been so fast that Abby had barely had time to feel the thrill of seeing such an event.

Seeing his friend beside him, Minos then said. "Abby, use your skill on this worm and make him speak everything he knows."

Abby then nodded her head as she touched the head of the man kneeling in front of her and activated her ability.

"No!" The man screamed in a weakened tone as blue energy covered his head, starting to stimulate the production of certain substances in his nervous system.

Abby's skill was genuinely impressive. Even though he was four levels above this young woman and mentally strong, he felt compelled to tell them the truth after just one touch of hers.

Abby then said as she held this man's head. "OK, you can ask the questions."

Minos nodded in satisfaction at the same time he placed his hand on her shoulder and said. "Thanks, Abby." He then looked at that person who had a desperate face and asked. "I want to know about your origins. Are there other groups like yours around?"

...

"Where are they? How many they are, and what is their average strength?"

...

Minos asked that guy many questions when finally all that was answered, and the young man killed such a person.

There was no need to leave any survivors!

Since they wanted to enslave Minos and even destroy Abby's life, then this young sovereign would exterminate them!

And it wasn't long before Minos collected all the belongings left behind by the bandits and continued his journey with Abby...
