034. An Unexpected Encounter
Facing his benefactor, the man lowered his guard and spoke with deep emotion about his wife's illness. This sum of money was what he had managed to scrape together only after seeking help from every relative and friend he knew. He could not imagine what sort of desperate situation they would be in if he lost this money.
“If I lose this money, my wife’s treatment will be delayed. She… she’s still waiting for me at the hospital! Thank you, truly.”
Lin Mi listened to the man’s words and looked at him.
“Haha, that guy really is annoying,” Haitang said with a cheerful smile, clearly not someone afraid of trouble.
“Old Ghost, you’re too arrogant. Do you think I’m still the same Dragon Fighter as before?” Han Xiao smiled coldly, and suddenly an incredibly dazzling light burst forth from him.
What Wolf Hongxiang didn’t know was that, after witnessing him slay six powerful opponents firsthand, the remaining four had lost all will to fight; their hearts were filled only with boundless terror.
Yue Hongji swept toward the island, and upon seeing that there were few people, immediately slipped into the dense forest, completely masking his presence. Even Wolf Hongxiang could not sense him, which surprised the latter a little.
“Ouch! That’s scalding!” Jiang Fusheng let out a cry of pain and quickly avoided his gaze.
Xu Zhaohuan paid no heed to his young master’s temper; she had brought him out solely to work, whether or not he had worries, idleness was not an option.
“Brother Ye Bai, is what you said just now really true?” Even the pure-hearted Tang Lulu understood Ye Bai’s words, and she too was astonished.
Realizing he had been overly suspicious, he suddenly questioned himself—why did he care so much if the other despised his poverty?
On those two rows of drying racks, there hung all manner of clothes, including undergarments, giving Ye Bai quite a feast for the eyes.
“Shut down your spiritual sense!” Nine-Tailed Red Fox shrieked. They were now united, and in this life-and-death moment, it forced her to be even more cautious, constantly striving to merge her own spiritual energy with his.
Lin Feng gripped the Sword of Oblivion tightly and struck like lightning; a sword aura shot straight toward the nearest zombie.
Furthermore, the polar bear’s gaze seemed to carry a natural murderous intent, chilling anyone who met its eyes.
The Asura God and the Formless Demon exchanged glances. They could not yet reveal their true backgrounds, so for a moment, neither knew what to say.
The two had battled for a long time, evenly matched. Amidst this nearly habitual exchange, they suddenly stopped, so abruptly that most people didn’t react in time.
Young Master Lin’s idea of cooperation was, of course, to calm the increasingly agitated Mophead. He and Skinny Sha Lou stood together by the bomb, pretending to dismantle it.
Qin Yang and his companions continued their journey. By nightfall, they arrived at a rather remote mountain peak. Though not precipitous, it was surrounded on three sides by water, effectively keeping wild beasts at bay.
Yet geomancy was more practical, never as complex as the rituals of Taoism; simplicity and efficiency were always favored by geomancers. Thus, when drawing talismans, geomancers omitted the hand gestures, star-stepping, and other steps, focusing instead on perfecting the communication of energies—outstripping Taoism in effectiveness.
Endless blood-red mist began to appear, swirling around, carrying a foul wind that made one nauseous. Scarlet blood pooled into rivers.
Looking at the blood on his hand, Young Master Lin smiled. These two had really arrived at just the right moment. Though their presence disrupted his original teaching plan, it inspired him with a better idea.
Two black sword auras flashed past. Before I could react, the two level-12 monsters before me had already fallen. Witnessing this scene, Xi Yali and the two super beasts were taken aback—they had never imagined that Autumn Water would be so sharp.
