Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system

"Huh, looks like the net is effective," Wang Ming said as the bandits and everyone else watched him in stunned silence.

Everyone who had been shouting or running in panic was stunned into silence by the sudden appearance of Wang Ming and the death of a clan member, until the silence was broken by the startled voices of the bandits.

"What the hell, who is this guy?" shouted a bandit as he stared at Wang Ming on the ground, the corpse of a fellow bandit lying near his feet.

"How did this guy appear? I didn't sense him arriving at all," said one of the cultivators on the ground.

"Damn! How dare he kill one of us by sneaking in!" yelled a bandit from the sky, his face red with anger.

"L-Look at the net!" exclaimed one of the bandits, more curious about how Wang Ming had casually caught the beast. What he discovered made his eyes contract in shock. The other bandits, hearing his voice, also turned their attention toward the beast inside the net, their eyes widening at what they saw.

"H-How can that be possible?" said a bandit, his face pale. The others shared the same expression when they realized the cultivation aura radiating from the corrupted beast had completely disappeared, as if it had never possessed spiritual energy—like a mortal.

This was the effect of the net Wang Ming had bought from the store, which completely suppressed cultivation, making it seem as though the beast had no cultivation at all. Even the cultivators were shocked by this.

"Damn, is this some kind of treasure?" said a bandit with a gloomy look on his face.

"Could be. After all, look at his robes—he's from the Yin-Yang Sect. It shouldn't be too surprising. Maybe if he hadn't killed one of our own, I would've enjoyed some passionate time with him. Disciples of that sect are known to be skilled in pleasing others," said a female bandit with a regretful expression as she licked her lips.

"Damn it, everyone, attack together!" shouted a bandit, and the group immediately flew down toward Wang Ming, their killing intent radiating.

"Hmm?" Wang Ming raised an eyebrow as a few city cultivators appeared near him, looking at them with a questioning gaze.

"Young Daoist, we'll hold them off and give you time to escape. Regroup with the city lord," said a man. He believed Wang Ming had only killed the bandit because the latter had been distracted, but seeing so many of them charging now, he was certain Wang Ming wouldn't stand a chance.

Determined to sacrifice his life to ensure Wang Ming's escape, he knew the young man was too valuable because of the artifact that could suppress and capture beasts. He hoped that if Wang Ming joined the city lord's group, their chances of success would increase.

"No need," Wang Ming replied in an indifferent voice, coldly watching the incoming attacks.

"But—" The cultivator was shocked by Wang Ming's response and was about to protest, but when he turned back, he saw that Wang Ming was no longer beside him—he had vanished into thin air.

" No"

" W-Wait"

" Don't kill me"

" Monster"

"Run"

The cultivators immediately turned their heads toward the screams coming from above and saw Wang Ming calmly floating in the air.

Thud.

Bloody corpses fell from the sky, landing on the ground with a heavy thud, shocking them to the core. Wang Ming had killed the bandits within seconds.

"Heavens," the cultivators stuttered as they watched Wang Ming swiftly capture the beasts with his net. Then he went around the city and killed the bandits and captured the courrpted beasts which were causing destruction.

Wang Ming's eyes narrowed suddenly as he sensed a familiar aura and flew in that direction.

Present

Wang Ming arrived in front of the city lord's mansion and saw Mu Ning Xue and Mu Yiran surrounded by bandits, who were laughing at their desperate figures. He noticed two men approaching them, one of whom was trying to grab Mu Yiran.

"Heavenly Sword Art—First Form: Flickering Strikes," Wang Ming muttered, instantly disappearing from his spot and severing the head of the bandit.

"Who?" Cai Zhi, who had been watching from above with a smirk, stiffened. Her body tensed as she frantically looked around, unable to see the attack or understand how her men had died—until her eyes landed on the figure of a handsome young man. Her eyes constricted further when she saw the head of the other bandit roll as well, still unable to catch his movements.

Mu Ning Xue and Mu Yiran looked relieved, while Cai Zhi and the other bandits wore nervous and cautious expressions as they watched the arrival of the newcomer.

"Wang Ming, you're finally back!" Mu Yiran said excitedly.

"Wait. I'll take care of them," Wang Ming replied, his gaze falling on the bandits flying toward them. Cai Zhi felt a sense of dread when Wang Ming's eyes landed on him and quickly made a decision.

"Attack him now!" Cai Zhi ordered the others near him, and they charged toward Wang Ming. Using this as a distraction, Cai Zhi quickly flew away.

"What? Boss, where—" The other bandits were shocked when they saw Cai Zhi fleeing, but before they could finish their sentence, their heads rolled to the ground

"Damn, what kind of monster is this? I need to regroup. I can't take him on with such a small number," she thought as she watched Wang Ming easily kill her team members, realizing she stood no chance alone.

Somewhere in the City

"Damn, this is a hopeless situation," Mu Zihan said, clenching his fists.

In front of him were more than 5,000 cultivators, all laughing and mocking him.

"C-City Lord, should we escape?" asked a guard, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"Has everyone evacuated?" Mu Zihan asked.

"I'm not sure, City Lord," the guard replied nervously. He didn't want to die and hoped the City Lord would make a sensible decision.

Sigh, looks like I have no choice. But our ancestral home will fall, Mu Zihan thought with sadness. He knew the situation was hopeless. He hadn't imagined the mountain clans had grown so formidable. Even though this group wasn't using corrupted beasts, he had no chance of defeating them—and he could still sense more of them outside the city.

"Retreat," Mu Zihan ordered. But before they could leave, they saw a woman flying on a beast toward the cultivators. All of them then flew with the woman in a certain direction.

"Damn, what's happening?" Mu Zihan said, beginning to follow them as they headed toward his mansion.
