Chapter 88: "Tell me, what are the rules of Mountain Opening City?"
Chapter 88: "Tell me, what are the rules of Mountain Opening City?"
"When two people from the same hometown meet, they shed tears of joy."
Chen Qiu let out a soft sigh, slowly finishing the mutton soup in his bowl, not leaving a drop. After wiping the stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he helplessly said, "Fat Dragon, you shouted the slogan of the Exploding Heaven Gang too loudly that day."
"If this person isn't dealt with, and if he reveals that he's from another world before he dies, it could cause a huge disturbance."
They had crossed over into this world.
This matter could be big or small.
If this person lived on or spoke out in his final moments, revealing that he had crossed over and exposing them as well, it might bring them significant trouble. Who knows if some old monsters would want to dissect them to understand what kind of people these 'crossover' individuals were.
People are naturally curious.
Even Golden Core old monsters have their curiosities.
Unfortunately, the means of Golden Core old monsters often allow them to satisfy all their curiosities.
"Hmm."
Fat Dragon, realizing the seriousness of the situation, nodded as he watched the young man being held captive gradually move away. A glint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Shopkeeper, the bill, please."
Chen Qiu waved over the shopkeeper, threw down some copper coins, and pointed at the burly men. "Those men are from Mountain Opening City's Tiger Claw Gang, a local gang. Their leader is a Foundation Establishment Tier 3 cultivator."
"You look like outsiders, so it's best to avoid trouble."
"If you don't have a close relationship, pretend you didn't hear anything. Don't lose your life over a moment of chivalry."
"Thanks."
Chen Qiu patted the shopkeeper's shoulder and left with a smile, following the group that was about to disappear from his sight.
A Foundation Establishment Tier 3 cultivator was still manageable.
Outside Mountain Opening City, in a desolate forest.
The burly man held his blade against the young man's ear, who was kneeling on the ground, and grinned menacingly, "Remember, when you come to Mountain Opening City, you follow its rules."
"Today, I'll show you what the rules of Mountain Opening City are."
Just then—
"Oh?"
"Tell me, what are the rules of Mountain Opening City?"
A casual voice came from the forest behind them.
"Who's there!"
The man with the blade turned around, his face changing color slightly. He saw Chen Qiu and his three companions emerging from the bushes, their footsteps crunching the dry leaves underfoot.
"It's you."
The burly man's eyes flashed with understanding. He roared and unleashed his Qi Condensation Peak aura without restraint, "I am the third-in-command of Mountain Opening City's Tiger Claw Gang!"
"Are you sure you want to make enemies with our Tiger Claw Gang?"
"Do you dare to reveal your identities?"
". . ."
Fat Dragon, looking a bit speechless, placed his elbow on the bookish young man's shoulder and coldly sneered at the burly man before them, "A local thug should just be content with being a thug. What's with this 'I' and 'me'?"
"Are you trying to clear your name?"
"Are you civilized or not?"
"Listen to yourself, do your words make sense?"
As his words fell, the burly man's face darkened. He stopped talking and immediately charged towards Chen Qiu and the others with his blade.
"Hey!"
Fat Dragon, excited by the situation, eagerly stepped forward, rubbing his hands together, "Everyone, let me handle this. It's not often that I get an opponent I can beat!"
The burly man's speed increased with each step.
In the final strides, he reached his peak, leaping into the air with a ferocious roar. He swung his large blade, carrying a terrifying momentum, towards the approaching Fat Dragon!
He was confident that if this strike landed, even though Fat Dragon was at the Qi Condensation Peak, he could still sever the fat man's head!
However—
The next instant! A translucent milky-white light barrier suddenly enveloped Fat Dragon, protecting him. The powerful strike of the blade couldn't even create a crack in the Spirit Light Barrier.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the forest.
The burly man was sent flying several zhang away, struggling to get up from the ground. He stared at his large blade that had been knocked away and his trembling tiger-like grip, his throat dry and eyes filled with a hint of despair.
"Spirit Shield, the signature of a Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouse!"
"You...you're a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator?"
"Can you spare my life?"
"You broke the rules, but I'll let you off. My boss is also a Tier 3 Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. If you kill us, there will be retaliation. We have no grudges, so let's call it even, shall we?"
"If you're still in Mountain Opening City today, I'll let you go, and I'll have my boss personally apologize to you."
"Is that so?"
As he spoke, the burly man's voice trembled with a hint of pleading. Of course, it was impossible to let him off. Many had begged for mercy before, but he had never spared them. Now, he finally understood the desperation they must have felt.
Even though he knew it was unlikely, at this point, he couldn't help but pin all his hopes on those words.
It was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"What do you think?"
Fat Dragon's face lit up with a smile as he turned his head towards the skinny young man beside him, as if looking at an idiot. Did he really think he was here to save him? He was shouting for mercy when his head was about to be chopped off.
Fat Dragon took a step towards the burly man who had been knocked away, his neck twisting with each step. This felt so satisfying. Finally, someone he could beat. All the enemies he had encountered in the past few days were beyond his capabilities.
It was a rare opportunity to encounter such an easy target, so he was going to savor this moment.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the desolate forest, several members of the Tiger Claw Gang were helping the burly man to his feet, their faces filled with fear. They huddled together, awaiting their unknown judgment.
Run? There was no way Qi Condensation Stage cultivators could outrun Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Just then—
The skinny young man, who had been tied up and abandoned, spoke with urgency, looking at Fat Dragon who had walked up to the burly man and raised his fist. "Big Brother, hold back! Please don't kill him!"
"He still has great use!"
"..."
Fat Dragon turned his expressionless face towards the skinny young man, as if looking at a fool. Did he really think he was here to save him? He was shouting for mercy when his head was about to be chopped off.
"Huff...huff..."
The burly man, sitting on the ground, stared at the fist that was just inches from his head, suspended in mid-air with a terrifying aura. His entire body trembled even more violently, and he gasped for breath, feeling a sense of relief from a near-death experience while awaiting his impending judgment.
That fist.
If it landed on his head, his skull would shatter instantly! There was no doubt about it!
At this moment, the skinny young man spoke with even more urgency, "Big Brother, give me a chance! Let me explain in the nearby forest. Once you hear me out, you'll understand!"
"When you killed the Demon Race cultivator in Fufeng City, I was hiding in the city. We've met before."
"I never expected to encounter you again in Mountain Opening City. It's fate."
"I can explain everything within a hundred breaths!"
