The Great Wild God - Chapter 96
Chapter 96 Robbing One’s Home and Doing Good Business
Chen Xun stretched out his hand and touched a handful of black mud on the ground. He wiped his face before letting out a swan howl. As he descended from the cliff, he brandished his saber and a violent profound cold saber light slashed out.
Chen Xun’s action was not to injure the enemy, but to establish his might.
However, Chen Xun let out a swan howl first, and the saber light slashed out behind him. A masked disciple on the left couldn’t dodge, and he called for the Profound Frost Saber Light to slash right in the middle.
A ball of golden light burst out from that person’s body, dispelling the saber radiance. However, his entire body was forced back several steps by the violent surging waves of energy before he was able to stabilize his footing.
Chen Xun coldly shouted, “Fellow Daoists, why are you silently approaching?” He took the black mud to wipe his face and then appeared. He really wanted the Meng brothers and the others to retreat in the face of difficulties. He didn’t want the Meng brothers to worry about their voices leaking out, so he wanted to kill them.
Meng Chong never thought that he would make others dive nearly a hundred meters without noticing. His heart trembled, and he immediately retreated more than ten steps. He saw the black-faced youth descend from the sky and slash out a violent saber light that actually knocked Chen Chuan back a few steps. He thought to himself, This person’s cultivation is so strong that he is not inferior to any of the eight of them!
The Meng brothers were both shocked and suspicious. They stared at Tie Xinmei for two days, but they didn’t see who Tie Xinmei had met. Where did this black-faced youth come from?
Ah Qing saw Chen Xun’s dark face appear and sniffed at the familiar smell. He really didn’t know why his master had run over to save him and wiped his face like this. He wagged his tail and hid behind him.
Only then did Meng Chong realize that this youth in front of him was the owner of this little green leopard. However, judging from the cowardly appearance of Little Green Leopard and Tie Xinmei, he guessed that this black-faced youth must be extremely familiar with Tie Xinmei.
Meng Chong wasn’t afraid that the eight of them would be defeated if they worked together, but he was afraid that the black-faced youth in front of him and Tie Xinmei would be in a beast-to-beast battle. If they didn’t pay a price, it would be very difficult for them to be killed at the foot of the mountain.
They had come out of the city to stare at the lone wandering cultivators, all they wanted was to snatch some cultivation resources, but they had never thought of risking their own lives.
Thinking of this, Meng Chong’s heart sprouted a retreat. He smiled and said,
“Fellow Daoist, I’m afraid everyone has misunderstood. When we saw this leopard, we thought it was a wild creature that ran out of the mountains. We didn’t expect it to be raised by your own family-a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
Meng Chong’s eyes were filled with laughter, but he was secretly looking for an opportunity to use a sudden killing move.
The Meng brothers’ Spiritual Sense swept around randomly. Chen Xun knew that these two sons still hadn’t given up on killing and robbing people. He put his hand into his bosom and took out a Green Flame Pearl from the Void Origin Pearl in case they suddenly attacked …
Cultivate both martial and magic!
The Meng brothers were the most sensitive to magical artifacts such as the Azure Flame Pearl when cultivating profound arts such as Flame and Fire. They had never imagined that this person in front of them was actually a dual martial artist and martial artist!
Ordinary rogue cultivators would only cultivate bitterly to break through the bottlenecks after they encountered bottlenecks, hoping to break through the bottlenecks one layer at a time.
Only those sects with abundant resources would have the strength to support their disciples in cultivating other techniques at the same time.
This was not only a way to enter the Reincarnation Realm through other channels, but also an effective way to increase one’s strength before breaking through the bottleneck.
Chen Xun took out the magic bead. The Meng brothers rolled their eyes. They knew that killing the youth in front of them would definitely bring them a lot of benefits. However, the other party was a martial artist and cultivator. They didn’t know if there were any other powerful treasures. They were really hard bones to chew on.
Tie Xinmei, on the other hand, withdrew the three iron arrows from the bowstring and placed an arrow on the string from the quiver.
She also understood the Little Green Panther’s master’s intention. It was to let the other party understand that although the eight of them had an absolute advantage and it wasn’t difficult to kill and rob the goods, they still had to risk the lives of two or three people.
She only had two secret talisman arrows with her. She would not use them lightly unless she had to. However, she did not use them at this moment. If she did not display her strongest martial power, when would she wait?
Apart from the Meng brothers, the other six people’s eyes were also uncertain. They were the same as the Meng brothers’ thoughts. They had greed in their hearts, but they did not want to pay such a high price.
“I’ve offended you!” The Meng brothers and the other six people hesitated for a few moments before exchanging glances. Without hesitation, they immediately retreated downstream of the valley and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
The Meng brothers and the others retreated before the little leopard rushed out from behind Chen Xun and roared at the disappearing figures of the Meng brothers and the others.
Chen Xun kicked this useless fellow into the stream.
The little green leopard didn’t even know that it was being disliked. It crawled out of the stream and rubbed against Chen Xun’s body. Its fur shook, and droplets of water shot everywhere, causing Chen Xun’s entire body to splatter with water.
“Tie Xinmei, thank you for your help, Young Hero.” Tie Xinmei cupped her hands and thanked him. She knew that if it wasn’t for this youth, she would only be able to execute the Shadow Separation Technique twice. It was really impossible for her to escape the encirclement of the other eight people.
“Ah Qing will eat your barbecue. It’s only natural for you to lend a helping hand.” Chen Xun smiled. He looked up and saw Tie Xinmei was taller than him by half a head. Her face was black and her skin was rough. She was a barbarian woman. He didn’t know which tribe she came from, but he asked, “Do you know where the eight of them came from just now?”
Tie Xinmei said, “Before we left the city, I heard that a group of people wearing masks were slaughtering rogue cultivators in the wilderness. No one knows exactly who they were. Even if someone reported this matter to the Left Cavalry Guard Manor, the Left Cavalry Guard Manor ignored them outside of the sentry guard area. There are many rogue cultivators entering and leaving the city every day. No one can guess the origins of these people.”
Chen Xun also had no intention of revealing the identities of the Meng brothers and the others. He just wanted to find out if there was any collusion behind the Meng brothers’ robbery of rogue cultivators. He asked Tie Xinmei,
“Don’t tell me that there are no rogue cultivators fighting righteously, and the cultivation of the eight of them hasn’t advanced to the Reincarnation Realm?”
“Invite experts from the Reincarnation Realm to take action?” Tie Xinmei smiled and said, “With that money, it’s better to travel together. Who knows if there are any other experts hiding behind these eight people? Besides, after leaving Azure Water City, everyone is used to fighting back and forth.”
Chen Xun thought to himself, it was true that wandering cultivators’ hearts weren’t aligned, and it was important to be wise and protect oneself.
“They might not give up. If you don’t rush back to the city, you should be careful to stay in the mountains.” Tie Xinmei said.
“It’s still early. I still need to find some medicine.” Chen Xun said. It was rare for him to make a trip out of the city, so he naturally didn’t want to go back just like that.
Tie Xinmei could not see through the identity of the youth before her. “The spiritual herbs nearby have long been collected. I wonder if it will take decades for a new batch of cultivators to grow. Some of the wandering cultivators who want to pick herbs and refine pills have already gone to Python Fang Ridge and Lake Wasteland,” Tie Xinmei said. Seeing that his cultivation was so high, the mentality of the eight masked men was not bad. How could they not know that there were no spiritual medicines to pick in the nearby mountains?
Chen Xun smiled awkwardly. He had long thought that there shouldn’t be much cultivation resources around Azure Water City, but he hadn’t expected it to be so empty.
Although he had been in Azure Water City for a year, this was the first time he had walked out of Azure Water City and into the wilderness. He was truly embarrassed.
“Then let’s say goodbye here.” Chen Xun said as he patted Ah Qing’s fat neck, wanting to part ways with Tie Xinmei.
“Haven’t you asked for Young Hero’s name?”
“Oh, my name is Chen Xun,” Chen Xun said. “If you need anything in the future, you can come to Tongluo Alley or Beishan Society to find me …”
In terms of archery alone, Tie Xinmei was slightly stronger than his bow technique, and it was also extremely limited. However, the profound art of the avatar in his hand was marvelous. This could almost make the archer stand in an invincible position, not being locked in by the spirit sense of the opponent.
However, they had only just met this time, and they hadn’t reached the point where they could tell each other in confidence. Chen Xun was also embarrassed to ask Tie Xinmei directly. What kind of price would he have to pay to learn this Shadow Separation Secret Art? He thought about leaving behind his name, and naturally, he would have a chance to learn this miraculous art again in the future when he contacted Tie Xinmei.
Tie Xinmei didn’t think of Chen Xun’s idea of a Shadow Splitting Art in her heart. She felt that the name “Chen Xun” sounded familiar. It was as if she had heard of it before, and she couldn’t remember it for a moment. She put her big bow behind her back and clasped her hands against the cracks in the rocks. Like an ape, she instantly climbed up the cliff and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xun thought to himself that Tie Xinmei was really smart. She must have had a lot of experience in living in the Wilderness. If she wanted to return to Azure Water City from the lower reaches of the valley, she would definitely fall into the ambush of the Meng brothers and the others.
Chen Xun cultivated the Void Origin Pearl in his study, and within nine months, he had cultivated the first level of the Dragon Binding Technique to perfection.
At this moment, Chen Xun was focused on sensing a certain place. He could sense the faint aura that was four to five kilometers away. How could he not know that the Meng Clan and the others were actually hiding in the dense forest downstream of the valley and were not far away?
Chen Xun crossed the valley and flew towards a stone peak at the west end. A moment later, he sensed that the Meng brothers and the others were really chasing after him.
Chen Xun didn’t return to the city with Tie Xinmei because he wanted to lure the Meng brothers to chase after him.
On that day, Chen Xun hadn’t been chased down by the Meng brothers and Lou Yiyi in the Wilderness. At this moment, he had learned the Wind Riding Technique, and his long-distance running speed was even faster. He believed that even if the Meng brothers and the others entered the Learning Palace to learn some new footwork, not all of them would necessarily be able to escape him.
Of course, Chen Xun was unable to contend against the Meng brothers and the others, so he wanted to lure them into circles in the deep valley. As long as he dragged them away, and one or two of them were left alone, his chance would come …
To have the chance to rob his family was not a psychological burden, so Chen Xun had to give it a try no matter what.
It was just that he and Tie Xinmei had only met for the first time, so he naturally did not dare to rashly invite her to rob the disciples of the Su Wu Commandant’s Manor.
Whether or not he could rob the disciples of the Academy was one thing. If news of him robbing the disciples of the Academy were to spread back to the Azure Water Academy, even Su Tang would not be able to cover up for him.
Chen Xun suddenly slowed down, bringing the Meng brothers around in circles, and then he ran several hundred miles into the depths of Tu Mountain at night.
At this moment, the roars of birds and beasts could be heard from the valley. Even peak True Yang Realm experts rarely ran this deep into the Tu Mountain.
The Meng brothers faintly felt that something was wrong. Meng Chong stopped and asked Chen Chuan, “Is this brat deliberately teasing us?”
Chen Chuan wasn’t stupid either. After chasing after him for so long, the black-faced youth twisted his way into the mountains. He didn’t have a fixed route, but he didn’t stop doing anything along the way. He told them that they couldn’t chase after him, so they couldn’t even take a shortcut to surround him.
If he couldn’t see anything strange about it at this time, he would really be blind.
But then again, if the eight of them were still afraid that the black-faced youth would set up some trap for them and not chase after them, the news would only laugh off other people’s big teeth.
“How did they find us?” Chen Chuan asked doubtfully.
The eight of them cooperated with each other. They were already very familiar with entering Tu Mountain to hunt down rogue cultivators. They could cross mountains and forests without alarming even birds and beasts. He thought that he had borrowed the dense forest to cover up the place where there were no flaws. He couldn’t understand why the black-faced boy would find them following behind.
“Perhaps it was someone who accidentally revealed his whereabouts. Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of us, he was forced to walk deeper into Tu Mountain.” At this point, Meng Chong felt that the situation before him was extremely familiar, but he didn’t expect that the black-faced youth in front of him was actually Chen Xun, who he and Lou Shiyi had worked together to kill.
