Qing Ming City.

The cemetery…

"This place is a little uncanny!"

Someone furrowed his brows tightly.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Perhaps they are at three-star because of this," someone said coldly.

Everyone thought so too.

Energy nourishment and distribution!

Seemingly, energy that could nurture four-star or five-star cultivation had been distributed to countless spirit bodies and as a result, formed many groups of them. This was a sheer pity.

Initially, this place could have nourished just one powerful and huge spirit body!

Click!

Click!

The ground collapsed.

At a distance away.

A few figures were crawling out of those graves.

However…

They were facing four-star cultivators!

These people had cultivated to this level, what had they not seen? The cultivators had already regained their composure and were not bothered by these supernatural things!

They were just spirit bodies…

At this very moment…

The goldfish glimmered and gradually recovered. It moved its body and headed outside.

"The goldfish is leaving?!"

"What should we do?"

"Hurry!

"Slay these guys who are blocking the way!"

Buzz—

Energy gathered.

They slashed towards the Burial Mound Warriors.

However…

At this very moment, a sharp arrow shot at them in the darkness. The expressions of those people who thought that they could easily finish off someone at the peak of three-star turned ugly.

This was…

A sharpshooter!

Swoos.h.!.+

Swoos.h.!.+

He drew the arrow using the bow!

The effect was shocking!

Every arrow that he shot was at a three-star peak level!

Attacks at such level could not injure them but they still had to defend themselves. That d.a.m.n Sharpshooter was standing at the furthest spot and constantly firing arrows at them. As a result, they were delayed again!

The speed at which they chase after the goldfish had reduced tremendously!

"Kill the Sharpshooter!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Their bodies are extremely fragile and weak…"

"Idiots."

A thin and pet.i.te figure sneered coldly. An arrow almost perforated him. If they did not kill the Sharpshooter, it was impossible for them to proceed.

Hehe.

He sneered and disappeared from sight.

That was right.

He was a four-star a.s.sa.s.sin.

In the chaos, he silently appeared behind the Sharpshooter and pierced his dagger towards the latter's heart. A strong and powerful surge of energy flowed into the dagger.

Poof.

It penetrated the flesh without a trace of blood.

At this very moment…

The Sharpshooter who had been pierced turned around and gave an earnest smile.

"Oh no!"

The a.s.sa.s.sin's heart jumped.

Bang!

The Sharpshooter punched him on the spot.

Pfft—

The a.s.sa.s.sin vomited fresh blood.

Horrible energy penetrated his inner body directly.

The a.s.sa.s.sin had a look of confusion on his face.

What was happening?!

Why did this Sharpshooter become more powerful at a close distance?

Bang!

The Burial Mound Warrior who saw him being thrown over simply took over, pressed him against the ground and gave him a round of violent beatings. Each punch was hard and merciless. Deafening roars could be heard

Pfft!

He spat a mouthful of fresh blood.

The a.s.sa.s.sin was thoroughly confused. What the h.e.l.l was this?!

Where was the Sharpshooter?

Fortunately, he was a four-star cultivator after all. After suffering a few attacks from the Burial Mound Warrior, a powerful gush of energy erupted from his body and killed these two guys in seconds!

However…

With the delay, the goldfish had already reached the edge of the cemetery.

Buzz—

Golden lights surged.

It was about to leave.

Just at this moment, a shadow appeared from the thin air.

"Get lost, everyone!"

He yelled loudly.

Buzz—

There was a glint on the sword in his hands.

Bang!

The sword flickered and a ray of cold and sinister shadow condensed from the middle of the sword, drawing a perfect curved trajectory and sweeping across the bodies of all the Burial Mound Warriors.

Pfft! Pfft!

There were many shadows.

Sword reflections rained down like water droplets, and all the Burial Mound Warriors were held and slashed in their waists!

It was just one slash.

Bang!

The tombstone in front of the goldfish had been perforated.

The escaping figure of the goldfish paused in its tracks and dared not move.

Since it was a spirit body, naturally, it had a certain level of intellect. Regardless of how much energy it had, it dared not jump around before such horrifying powers!

It was very powerful!

All the cultivators were stunned.

Just one slash?

Although these guys were only at the peak of three-star, with the astronomical figure, a group of three-star peak abilities was still terrifying!

However, now…

In a moment!

Everyone was killed in seconds!

Everyone was astonished beyond words. Was this the true power of a Swordsman?

"Gao Tianlang!"

That young man holding a spear had a chilly look in his eyes. "You actually came too."

Yes.

Gao Tianlang.

He had followed his sister and had arrived.

Hehe.

Gao Tianlang swept his gaze across the young man with the gun. "Since you, Zhou Yang, can come. Why can't I?"

"You!

The was a cold glint in Zhou Yang's eyes. "You have the Lunar Shadow legacy. Yet, you still came here to fight with me!"

"The Lunar Shadow legacy may not necessarily be mine."

Gao Tianlang's eyes scanned the place. "However, this spirit body is definitely mine!"

Hehe.

Zhou Yang's gaze swept across Gao Xiaoqing. "You actually dare to bring her here?"

"Why can't I come?" Gao Xiaoqing said coldly. "I have a card that can kill a four-star cultivator and a very powerful master. Do you want to try and fight me?"

Zhou Yang's face darkened.

He really dare not provoke this person, although her ability was very weak.

The surrounding cultivators faced one another. This was that Array Master prodigy? Oh, that elder's disciple? They really didn't dare provoke her!

d.a.m.n. Who were these people?

A few cultivators secretly cursed.

They came all the way to this shabby place to catch a spirit body and actually encountered these so-called geniuses and prodigies. These people did not lack resources. Shouldn't they stay at home to cultivate?

However…

They were reluctant to give up at this moment.

Shus.h.!.+

The cemetery was filled with murderous intent.

A group of four-star cultivators were coldly observing the situation. Two strong and powerful young men were in a confrontation. At a distance away, the goldfish stood rooted on the spot.

Whoosh…

Cold winds flew past.

The place felt even colder.

"Swordsman?"

Lu Ming's heart jumped a beat.

He was just here to stir up trouble.

It was true.

He had a forthright character. If you make me unhappy, I will do the same to you.

That lad called Zhou Yang almost killed him. Hence, it was impossible for Lu Ming to kill him now. However, he could create some chaos and let the goldfish escape!

Since I can't kill you, I will make you suffer a huge loss!

After all…

The Burial Mound Card could be released in secret. He could hide his ident.i.ty!

It was just that…

He did not expect a Swordsman to appear in this place suddenly.

Furthermore…

He was shockingly powerful!

He killed all the Burial Mound Warriors with one slash of his sword!

Although those Burial Mound Warriors had already attained the peak of three-star, they could not bear the brunt of Gao Tianlang's stunning strike. Perhaps this was the true powers of a four-star cultivator?

"The gap in ability is really too big!"

Lu Ming felt disappointed.

In the past.

He could deal with three-star cultivators with a pile of two-star top-notch cards! But now, one heap of three-star top-notch cards could not even block one slash from the four-star cultivator!

What kind of gap was this?

Four-star…

It was a new domain, indeed!

He did not possess the capability to compete with a four-star cultivator at this moment!

"I have to hide well."

Lu Ming became even more low-key.

Although the atmosphere was chaotic, he still hid himself every carefully.

Gao Tianlang and Zhou Yang seemed to be opponents?

Well…

They might end up in a fight?

Lu Ming was hopeful.

It would be best if these people could engage in a fight and kill one another. However, never did he imagine that these people actually began to negotiate!

He was right!

They were negotiating on the spot!

"How many resources are you willing to give up for this?" Zhou Yang said coldly.

"That's for me to say."

Gao Tianlang sneered coldly. I'm playing for keeps.

That fish is shrouded in glory. One can tell that its not an ordinary spirit body at one glance. Among the special spirit bodies, there are too many fearsome and evil ones. This kind is extremely rare!

It is definitely very valuable!"

Zhou Yang was not polite either. "If you give me eighty million yuan, I will leave immediately."

"That's too much,"

Gao Tianlang retorted. "At most ten million yuan."

"Impossible!"

Zhou Yang did not spare him any courtesy. "Why don't I give you five million yuan and you leave now?"

Lu Ming was puzzled.

And so on.

Shouldn't you fight with each other and perish together or suffer heavy casualties? He could then pick up the bargain? Why did they start to negotiate out of the blue?

d.a.m.n. Were they in an auction mode?

Were they distributing equipment in an instance dungeon (An instance dungeon is a special area in ma.s.sively multi-player online games that generates a new copy of the location for each group, or for a certain number of players, that enters the area)?! All of you might as well 'roll' for it?

This was too much!

Lu Ming vaguely heard some parts of their conversation. There were really traces of them completing the negotiation!

What else could he say?

Had they considered the feelings of the oriole?! (Oriole refers to the yellow bird in the chinese expression "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind". The expression means that one should be constantly vigilant and not become so focused on one task as to be oblivious of potential dangers lurking elsewhere.)

What to do?

Should he wait for them to finish the negotiation and leave with the goldfish?

This would not do.

After all, the goldfish had saved him before!

Furthermore, that guy called Zhou Yang. How could he let him leave with ma.s.sive resources so easily?

He felt indignant.

Lu Ming sighed.

He fished out a familiar card in his card bag.

This card…

Lu Ming paused for a moment.

Forget it.

He quietly touched the backpack behind him and silently aimed the machine at the center of the cemetery.

Swoos.h.!.+

The card was released!

That card, along with the Energy Card, dissipated into energy in the air. It did not cause any stir in this cemetery with a chaotic atmosphere.

Lu Ming was a little hopeful.

Next—

I'm depending on you…
