Upon seeing the terrifying and powerful deity in the sky looking down at them, most of the bandits immediately dropped their weapons and staffs, trembling as they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.
Wang Han didn't hear the bandits' clamor for mercy below. Although he could hear everyone clearly, he didn't bother to distinguish them. Under the terrified gazes of the bandits, caravans, mercenaries, and adventurers, Wang Han stretched out a hand, his palm pointing at them.
"No!" Even the caravan and mercenaries panicked. Wang Han had pointed his hand at them, clearly intending to kill them all.
"Thundercloud Wave." Before anyone below could react, terrifying black thunderclouds erupted from Wang Han's hands, engulfing the entire caravan like a raging flood.
"Boom..." The sound of lightning crackled like popping beans incessantly within the thunderclouds that engulfed the caravan, and terrifying flashes of lightning shone continuously, illuminating the dark sky as bright as day.
'What a ruthless man!' Squinting and enduring the bright light, watching Wang Han mercilessly engulf everyone in his attack, Emperor Chaoyang and the others sighed inwardly. However, none of them dared to stop him, nor did they dare to. The lives of these people were not worth their attention, nor were they worth defying Wang Han.
Half a minute later, the thunder stopped, and the thunderclouds dissipated into the air. The bandits mixed in with the caravan were all reduced to charred corpses, but the caravan members, mercenaries, and adventurers who had also been shrouded in the thunderclouds stood unharmed, heads in their hands. Only then did Emperor Chaoyang and his companions realize that, despite the terrifying thunderclouds, not a single person had been injured, nor had any been spared—what terrifying control this was!
"Huff..." Having survived the terrifying, apocalyptic thunderclouds, the caravan members, mercenaries, and adventurers sat on the ground, breathing heavily. Even though the terrifying thunderclouds had dissipated, their hands and feet were still ice-cold, and some of them had even wet themselves in fear, and they were not a minority.
The remaining bandits had all been eliminated. Wang Han withdrew his hand and flew downwards. He realized that if he hadn't possessed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and lightning-based abilities, he probably wouldn't have been able to control the thunderclouds so precisely.
"Gulp..." Emperor Chaoyang and the others swallowed again, their respect for Wang Han growing even stronger. Their attitude towards Wang Han had expanded beyond just not being able to provoke him; they now also added another condition: they couldn't speak ill of him.
——————————————
As the terrifying black-armored King Han flew towards them from the sky, Leng Ba, Ye Long, and the others couldn't help but swallow hard. Although they weren't enemies, and in fact, given King Han's (shadow clone) relationship, they could be considered allies, this King Han was simply too powerful. Just his mere presence made their muscles involuntarily tense and stiffen. This was an instinctive fear of a terrifyingly powerful figure, a fear that was both physical and mental. It was like an ordinary person facing a terrifying monster; even knowing that the monster meant them no harm, they would still instinctively feel fear and dread.
"The bandits in the Ten Thousand Mountains have been wiped out, and we've been lucky enough to complete another mission, the annihilation of the Luo Lie family, halfway done." Wang Han, clad in armor, approached the group, his slightly muffled and cold voice emanating from behind his black, icy mask.
"Congratulations, sir! Leng Ba thanks you for saving us. Although those enemies were insignificant to you, they were enough to kill us. We will definitely repay your life-saving grace in the future." Although he didn't know Wang Han's specific meaning, Leng Ba still quickly and carefully said, while offering a small compliment. He didn't even know how long it had been since he had flattered anyone.
"No need for thanks." Upon hearing this, Wang Han said coldly, his gaze turning to Leng Wushuang. "I saved you because I intend to take her as my disciple."
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Leng Ba hesitated. Indeed, it would be difficult for a terrifyingly powerful figure like Wang Han to accept Leng Wushuang as a disciple, but Leng Wushuang was a person envied by the heavens. Her usefulness was not limited to being a disciple; she could also have her talent seized, or even be used to refine medicine. Or perhaps her talent could be stripped away and given to someone else. These possibilities were all very high.
Seeing Leng Ba hesitate, Wang Han's voice became even colder. "What? You have a problem with this?"
"I wouldn't dare," Leng Ba said in a panic upon hearing this.
"Don't dare? You don't have the guts, that's why you don't dare. If I gave you a few more guts, you would dare."
"No, no, no." Upon hearing this, Leng Ba quickly shook his head repeatedly, looking extremely frightened, and said, "Even if you gave me more courage, I wouldn't dare. I'm overjoyed that Wushuang can become your disciple, how could I have any objections?"
"Since there are no objections, then she will be my disciple." Hearing this, Wang Han nodded in satisfaction and walked towards Leng Wushuang. After becoming his disciple, Leng Wushuang would definitely be able to learn a lot of his skills. Unlike his other disciples, Leng Wushuang had extremely high talent. This time, Wang Han was genuinely serious about taking her as a disciple, rather than just casually imparting some knowledge (even casually imparting knowledge would be enough for others to learn for a long time).
Seeing this, Leng Ba and the other two could only sigh helplessly. They were powerless to resist Wang Han, nor did they dare to resist. In their hearts, they had already given up on Leng Wushuang.
"I don't want to be your disciple, I want to be Big Brother's disciple." As Wang Han, dressed in armor, walked towards her, Leng Wushuang hid behind Wang Han (shadow clone) and said weakly.
"Uh..." Wang Han was taken aback, somewhat speechless. But since it was all his own business anyway, he pretended to hesitate, and his aura became somewhat unstable.
"Uh..." Upon hearing Leng Wushuang's words, Leng Ba and the other two were initially delighted, but then felt a chill. They cautiously looked at Wang Han and quickly advised Leng Wushuang, "Shuangshuang, obediently listen to the ancestor's words and become this senior's disciple."
Unfortunately, the little girl was quite stubborn when she got stubborn, and completely ignored Leng Ba's words.
“Alright, since you only want to become my disciple, I won’t take what you want from you, nor will I force you. Today you will be his disciple.” Wang Han hesitated for a long time before saying, “Perform the apprenticeship ceremony.”
'Do not take what others love, nor force others to do what is difficult.' Leng Ba and the others were speechless, but dared not say anything. At the same time, they were surprised that Wang Han was actually the successor of this powerful senior.
"Shuang'er greets Master." Upon hearing this, and seeing that her ancestors did not object, Leng Wushuang immediately knelt before Wang Han (shadow clone) and, imitating the apprenticeship ceremony she had seen before, kowtowed repeatedly.
"Get up quickly." Upon seeing this, Wang Han, the shadow clone, immediately helped Leng Wushuang up. His face was beaming with joy.
Looking at Leng Wushuang, who was becoming his disciple, Wang Han thought to himself, "Next time, should I just forge a few different identities? Same name, same armor—even if we're not related, no one will believe it if the relationship is just ordinary." There was no way around it; too many things had changed this time. First, the treasure belonged to someone the heavens envied, then a series of deities appeared. Wang Han hadn't expected to use a shadow clone to disguise himself, let alone take on a disciple. But as long as the outcome was good, that was all that mattered.
"You can deal with these three members of the Luo family as you see fit," Wang Han said to his shadow clone, before disappearing from everyone's sight in a flash.
"Let's go too." Emperor Chaoyang and his companions also left, but before leaving, they gave Wang Han some of their respective collections.
