Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Arguing
“Really going to the outskirts?”
Driving, Ouyang Lingtian weakly asked.
“Of course, if we were to start anything here, we’d be on the front page tomorrow night,” Xia Liu nodded and said.
“That won’t happen, actually if we were to fight in the city, we might still have a slim chance of survival.”
“Oh? How so?” Xia Liu asked, puzzled.
“I’m not sure about the specifics, but if a martial artist battle breaks out within the city limits, no matter who it is, they will be punished,” Ouyang Lingtian recalled his master’s warnings and immediately shared them.
“Oh? Punishment?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting, but let’s forget about it for now, the target is still the outskirts.” Xia Liu didn’t want to know about these things, because the current situation and his cultivation level didn’t allow it, maybe in the future he would slowly come to understand.
Ouyang Lingtian didn’t continue speaking and drove seriously toward the previously agreed location.
By four in the afternoon, the scorching sun had faded, and the glowing light bathed everything.
In the outskirts of Yanjing, lush trees lay ahead, with vast plains stretching out behind.
On the other side of the big river was the bustling city with towering buildings, and on this side lay the mountains leading to the wilderness with no trace of man.
The car stopped on an open ground, and Xia Liu stood facing the wind.
A few minutes later, several cars roared up from behind.@@novelbin@@
About a dozen Earth-Rank warriors used their movement techniques to land on the side.
However, they didn’t get too close because Xia Liu was someone else’s prey.
Even if they were salivating with envy, they could only watch with wide eyes as Xia Liu was devoured.
Before long, many warriors were watching from a distance of five hundred meters, such an occurrence likely being the first of its kind.
A Mysterious Rank Warrior daring to challenge an Earth-Rank Warrior outright was surely courting death.
No one sympathized with Xia Liu; they just wanted him to die quickly, because Mysterious Rank warriors were not supposed to compete with Earth-Rank warriors for resources.
Frankly speaking, all these onlookers were just jealous.
They couldn’t stand to see Xia Liu claiming the Condensing Energy Grass and the mysterious stones.
After all, their cultivation levels were Mysterious Rank or even Earth Rank, if they weren’t eligible to obtain them, how could Xia Liu, a Mysterious Rank Mid-Level warrior, be qualified!
“Kid! Why don’t you run? Why aren’t you running now!” Suddenly, a young man with sunglasses walked out from the crowd, his mouth curved in a mocking smile.
“Can you even run? Daring to snatch the Condensing Energy Grass from right under my nose!”
Another voice emerged, and the crowd saw Lin Hui appear with his Earth-Rank warrior bodyguard.
“Haha! Let’s see what he does now!”
“Lin Hui and Zhao Daxi are both scions of great clans, daring to snatch their things is simply suicide.”
“Death might be a bit much, but it would be best to cripple his martial veins, let him spend the second half of his life on a sickbed, so he understands what he has done.”
“Hahaha! Support Young Master Zhao and Young Master Lin!”
…
After Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui made their entrance, the onlooking Low-Rank warriors all started to shout.
“Heh, a bunch of idiots,” Xia Liu looked up, scanning the surroundings, and shook his head at everything he heard.
He had won the items fair and square, how had it become natural in their eyes to be robbed by more powerful warriors?
Even if there was indeed a provocation, they could have offered a higher price.
Since they had given up bidding, did that make their actions now morally elevated?
“`
Killing and robbing seemed so reasonable in the eyes of these people that Xia Liu was utterly astounded.
“Young Master Zhao, how about you let us handle this guy?” As Zhao Daxi was about to order his bodyguards to take action, a deep voice carrying considerable oppressive power suddenly echoed around them.
Immediately afterward, Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu appeared side by side, both wearing faint smiles on their faces.
“Hehe! With Family Head Yan and Elder Qiu joining in, things are getting interesting.”
“Not just interesting, absolutely thrilling! Five forces up against one Mysterious Rank Warrior and one Yellow-Rank Martial Artist, thrilling indeed!”
“If I were those two, I would have dropped the item and walked away by now.”
“Exactly, only idiots would do something as life-threatening as this.”
…
While everyone was bustling with discussion, Shi Hentian arrived too!
A blurred shadow suddenly dashed in from the side, and when the figure finally stood still, everyone became excited once again.
They could already imagine what would happen to Xia Liu.
Now their attention was focused more on Shi Hentian, Yan Wuqing, and Qiu Wenfu!
All three, being Peak Earth-Rank and High-Level Peak Warriors, would surely fight to the death over the unclaimed stone.
When that time came, the trio would definitely fight it out!
A battle among Peak Earth-Rank Warriors, absolutely more exciting than any other martial combat!
Moreover, this place was on the outskirts, outside the urban district. The authorities would turn a blind eye.
With the right time, location, and people, today was definitely the most boisterous, blood-pumping day of recent years!
“Daoist Fellow Shi, you’ve come as well.”
“Of course, I have to come. After all, this kid snatched the stone right from my hands,” Shi Hentian stated confidently.
“Snatched the stone from your hands?” Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu were both taken aback. Since when had the stone belonged to Shi Hentian?
“Certainly, I was the only one bidding and was about to get the stone when this overconfident brat suddenly interfered. If he’s not snatching my stone, then whose is he snatching?” Shi Hentian’s expression was dead serious.
Indeed, as some people had thought, Shi Hentian really considered the stone as if it was childishly stuffed into his own pocket.
“Hahahaha! How hilarious, Daoist Fellow Shi, everyone’s here, and that joke of yours is really quite cold,” laughed Yan Wuqing heartily.
“Not cold, not cold at all. I’m just here to take back what belongs to me.”
“Your belonging? Daoist Fellow Shi, don’t be too adamant,” Qiu Wenfu retorted, even though he was merely at High-Level Peak Earth-Rank Cultivation. However, he had his own trump cards and feared not even those at the peak of the Earth Rank.
Furthermore, with Yan Wuqing, an ally, present, he certainly didn’t want to give Shi Hentian any face.
Even though you, Shi Hentian, are highly skilled, you are still just one man.
If you truly anger the martial families, they would unite against you at the cost of severe losses.
Watching the tension rising, the surrounding spectators held their breath.
This was becoming increasingly interesting. If Shi Hentian continued to insist on what he believed, the consequence would surely be Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu taking action against him together.
Just thinking about it was thrilling: two High-Strength Earth-Rank Warriors against one man!
“Since that’s the case, let’s have a match! Whoever wins earns the right to the stone!” Shi Hentian took a step forward as his formidable oppressive force swept across the area!
“Why not!”
Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu also released their energies, and instantly, three forces of oppressive power began to collide invisibly.
“Elders, I think we should retrieve the stone first before discussing how to distribute it. If those two thieves take the chance to run away during our sparring…”
“Young Master Zhao makes a good proposal. Let’s get back the stone first!”
As Yan Wuqing’s voice trailed off, Shi Hentian retracted his aura and turned his gaze towards Xia Liu.
