Chapter 62: The robbery of the repairman blocks the way
"Mother-in-law, isn't it a bad idea for us to just drive him out like this? Didn't the young lady ask us to take care of him?"
Rong Ju watched "Chu Zhong" come and go through the window, hesitant and somewhat uneasily asked the shopkeeper Ruan.
The latter just tasted the spiritual tea in his hand and said indifferently:
"Young lady just thinks too highly of these common people, making them think highly of themselves. They are just first-class spirit wine brewing skills, and there are a lot of such people in the state capital.
And didn’t we promise that as long as he brews one of the two second-level spirit wines that the young lady needs, we will immediately give him shelter and prevent him from being persecuted by the Qingmu Sect?
Even if he fails in the end, I will still help him out when he is cornered, and that is what counts as a favor."
Rong Ju lowered her head and said nothing more.
'I just think that Granny Ruan is too profit-oriented and likes to use this to manipulate people's hearts. Although this is the most suitable way for the Chamber of Commerce to survive, it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
If the young lady had not helped me in time, I would have turned into a pile of dry bones. This is the case for me, and the other three sisters are also like this.'
Seeing several people following Chu Zhong's escape light, Rong Ju remembered the young lady's instructions, bowed to Shopkeeper Ruan, and planned to follow and see.
"I can't help him solve the problem of Aoki Clan, but I can't just watch him die in confusion."
Seeing what Rong Ju did, Shopkeeper Ruan put down the teacup in his hand, sighed slightly, and stepped lightly with his right foot, creating ripples on the spot.
"That casual cultivator can die, but Miss Rong must not be in any danger."
As soon as his body moved, he was moved out of the market by the formation, and then hid his whereabouts and followed Rong Ju's escape light.
When Wei Zhong left the market town, he also noticed several people following him.
'The arrival of the Yunji Chamber of Commerce has greatly stimulated the monks' enthusiasm for consumption, and even the number of robbery cultivators has increased significantly.'
A few more spirit stones were thrown into the green boat, and the green light suddenly accelerated a little. Wei Zhong had no intention of getting entangled with him. He no longer cared about the wealth of an ordinary foundation-building cultivator.
Besides, he was very pressed for time and had to return to the island to practice. He had no time to play house with these people.
Seeing that the flying magic weapon that Wei Zhong was riding suddenly increased its speed, Jie Xiu also became excited instantly.
"He's speeding up. He must be scared. My two Taoist friends, speed up and continue chasing. This guy has been in Yunji Chamber of Commerce for so long. He must be very wealthy."
As soon as these words were spoken, a person beside him also revealed a greedy look.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, don't worry. I have already contacted Fellow Daoist Zhang to intercept and delay him ahead. When the time comes, we will rush forward and easily capture him. You might as well save some mana for the fight later."
When the two heard that there were other fellow Taoists trying to stop them, they looked at each other and immediately decided to make Fellow Taoist Zhang and the man who had just come out of the market consume more energy.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
"That makes sense!"
Immediately, the three of them maintained their original speed and just followed closely behind Wei Zhong, no longer seeking to be intercepted.
Wei Zhong was lying in the green boat, and he still had time to drink a glass of spiritual wine.
'This second-level Qingluo Zui has the ability to nourish the body. I usually drink a few sips when I have nothing to do.'
A strange aura suddenly broke into the range of his spiritual sense, and Wei Zhong put down his wine glass.
"So there is an accomplice?"
Wei Zhong walked from the cabin to the deck, looking at the light that was getting closer and closer in front of him, without any panic.
He had already clenched the black ball in his hand, ready to use the throwing technique. But then he realized something and switched to the fragments of a magic weapon.
A flaming flying sword came towards Wei Zhong, and the Flying Throwing Technique was activated to meet it. With one strike, the robber cultivator's control over the magic sword was interrupted, and the fierce flying sword attack was immediately knocked crooked, and he had to control the flying sword to return.
When he held it in his hand, he found that it was obviously damaged. It would cost at least hundreds of spirit stones to repair it. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken for a moment.
He pinched out a golden talisman and threw it towards Wei Zhong, which turned into a golden crescent in mid-air. Then the crescent split into hundreds of small crescents, which flew towards Wei Zhong's green boat.
Wei Zhong sighed slightly, put away the green boat under his feet, used a little cloud-flying technique, and left the place before the attack arrived.
The road-breaker had a strange look on his face, as if he was surprised to see Wei Zhong get rid of his talisman attack so quickly.
With a gesture on his fingertips, the hundred crescent moons turned as if they had eyes and continued to attack Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong raised a blue shield with his left hand. With the infusion of spiritual power, the palm-sized shield instantly became as big as a door panel.
With a flick of his index finger, he pushed the shield forward to face the attack.
The man wanted to control the crescent to bend again, but Wei Zhong's active approach destroyed most of it, leaving only two scattered points falling on Wei Zhong.
【Black Water Spirit Cloth】
A green light covered Wei Zhong's body, and together with the second-level robe he took the attack.
Ever since seeing Qingmu Sect's Yao Zhengsheng use the black magic, Wei Zhong has been cautious and would conceal his spells when he was out in public. While destroying the talisman, a green light flashed from Wei Zhong's sleeves, and a slender green sword shadow rushed towards the robber cultivator. It was the Green Bamboo Sword that Wei Zhong had bought in Mingyue Market before.
Jie Xiu once again activated his magic sword to resist, but when he looked at Wei Zhong again, he did not see his figure.
It turned out that while Wei Zhong was activating the Green Bamboo Sword, he had already used the Cloud-Flying Technique to flash near him, holding a large and thick black sword and slashing straight at him.
With years of nourishment from Qingluozui, Wei Zhong's physique is no longer as weak as those of spiritual practitioners. His strength is so strong that he can be called half a physical cultivator.
Combined with the powerful force brought by the light black spiritual power and the weight of the black heavy sword itself, this blow is no less powerful than an ordinary physical foundation-building blow.
When Jie Xiu came to his senses and saw Wei Zhong slashing at him with a sword, he was terrified. Without thinking, he used his own defensive shield, but the spell was cast in a hurry and there was no way he could resist Wei Zhong's perfect slash.
The shield was knocked over as soon as it flashed. Jie Xiu tried hard to dodge, but half of his arm and one leg were chopped off in an instant.
Blood flowed freely, and the intense pain made him roar in fear. With his spiritual power flowing, he was about to use the escape technique to distance himself from Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong would not miss such a good opportunity. He put down his heavy sword and rushed over with his bare hands. He didn't know when a small piece of debris appeared on his palm. Under the circulation of spiritual power, it had already turned and left an afterimage.
A palm hit the chest of Jie Xiu, and his chest shook violently. The spiritual light of the first-level robe flashed and then quickly extinguished. The defense was broken in an instant. The heavy spiritual power wrapped in the fragments of the magic weapon pierced his chest and abdomen, disrupting his internal organs. It came out through his body and brought out an unknown red object.
There was still fear and a bit of confusion in Jie Xiu's eyes, as if he had not expected to fall into this man's hands after just a few rounds.
Wei Zhong fired a water bullet through his head, completely killing him.
After putting away his storage bag and magic tools, he saw the three Tribulation Cultivators who were late arriving from behind.
The three of them looked at each other, unable to believe that their fellow Zhang was defeated so easily.
"This fat sheep doesn't seem to be an easy character to handle."
Wei Zhong put away the spoils, held the heavy sword in his hand, and the green bamboo sword floated in the air ready to go.
"Fellow Daoists, do you have any important business in following me here?"
Wei Zhong had a smile on his face, looking fearless.
The three people in front of him were all in the early stage of foundation building, just like the one he had just killed. Although there were many of them, Wei Zhong did not take them seriously.
If there hadn't been someone spying nearby, he would have decisively taken action and killed these four robbery cultivators.
Seeing Wei Zhong like this, the three of them had different expressions, and some of them had already begun to back out.
Seeing his companions were timid, the monk surnamed Gu shouted:
"My two fellow Taoists, why are you hesitating now? He is alone, and the battle just now must have consumed a lot of energy. The three of us are in full condition, so how can we not defeat him?"
After hearing this, the two looked at each other. Then one of them said:
"Why not let Fellow Daoist Gu take the lead?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivator surnamed Gu cursed inwardly, but said, "It would be safest for the three of us to attack at the same time."
Wei Zhong looked at the three people with some boredom. Such a group was so timid and cowardly that they couldn’t even do the Tribulation Cultivation well.
But Wei Zhong understood that this was the norm among casual cultivators. After years of practice, he had seen many fellow cultivators die on the path due to negligence. Casual cultivators would be suspicious of everything and everyone.
Colleagues around him must also be on guard at all times to prevent being attacked or stabbed in the back. Moreover, the few colleagues in front of him were not even colleagues, at most they were a small group of robbers formed temporarily.
Seeing Wei Zhong fighting with his companions, he was reluctant to come and help, but instead waited for the two of them to consume each other.
Because of a lack of investigation, a companion died. Knowing that the idea was difficult to handle led to this situation.
When Wei Zhong was thinking, his consciousness suddenly detected a familiar aura coming, and he said with a smile: "Are you three still going to make a move? If you hesitate any longer, my helpers will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Ju arrived. He frowned slightly and looked at the three people confronting Wei Zhong, then looked at the remains below. He bowed slightly to Wei Zhong and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, do you need help?"
"Haha, why do you need Fairy Rong to help these few little Tribulation Cultivators?"
Hearing Wei Zhong's arrogant words, the three looked at Wei Zhong with anger, but one of them glanced at Rong Ju and was stunned. He whispered a few words to the two of them, and then a hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the three.
"Fellow Daoist, this is purely a misunderstanding. The three of us wanted to come up to help because we saw you being stopped by the robbers. We have absolutely no ill intentions towards you.
Since you are out of danger, the three of us will leave now and see you again if we are lucky."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them turned around and retreated using their own methods.
Wei Zhong smiled and bowed to Rong Ju: "Thank you for your help, fairy."
A fire bomb burned the remaining corpse below, and then he took out some of the magic weapons, spirit stones and other treasures he had just obtained, and threw them to the other party along with the storage bag.
"This is my return gift to the fairy."
Rong Ju wanted to say something, but Wei Zhong had already released the Qingzhou and it turned into a green light and left.
