C117 Still Running?
C117 Still Running?
After all, he had been familiar with this task for so many years. He had killed countless rogue cultivators. If not, they wouldn't be so rich. He had even made plans to use Sun Bing's resources to help him break through.
However, the reality was cruel. Everything that happened in front of him had completely shattered the fantasy in his heart. If Sun Bing had killed a Second Level Qi Refining Stage in the beginning, it could only be considered as a minor mistake on his side. In that case, the two of them didn't hold back at all. The battle was extremely intense, but it didn't give him any peace of mind. On the contrary, it made him feel even more terrified.
Yang Tao had seen it with his own eyes. Even if a Third and Second Qi Refining Stage warrior were to join forces, especially since the beginning of the battle, they were evenly matched. Slowly, it turned into being suppressed, and in the end, it even showed signs of collapsing. It could be said that the battle was ever-changing, but it only lasted for a short period of time. The two powerful cultivators had already turned into corpses on the ground.
One had to know, these people could be considered his partners for many years. The division of labor was clear, and they trusted each other. If not, they wouldn't be so close to each other. Yang Tao naturally knew the strength of these people the best.
Because the Tianwu City was much bigger than the Falling Cloud Town. Therefore, Qi Refining Stage warriors could be born in the rogue cultivators. However, the probability of this happening was relatively low. To be able to break through to the Qi Refining Stage in the rogue cultivators was already considered an expert.
A total of three Cultivator of the Qi-cultivation Realm warriors was considered a very big force in the rogue cultivators, especially the leader, the third level of Qi Refining Stage. This was the reason why they were able to stand tall in the Tianwu City.
But even so, after meeting Sun Bing, they could only die with hatred. Yang Tao's heart was filled with regret. If he knew that Sun Bing was so powerful, he wouldn't have come to kill him today. Wasn't it just five Genuine Essence Fruit?
Although it was expensive, Yang Tao didn't put it in his eyes. At most, it was only worth the price of killing two cultivators.
If his partner was still alive, it would only take him some time to acquire it. Because not every one of them had the strength of Sun Bing. No matter how strong they were, they could only fight one person at most. They were completely helpless against the combined attacks of three people.
Even if they were to fight with their lives on the line, the most they could do was to injure one person. All these years, because of their tacit cooperation and cautiousness, they had never lost any of their members, let alone today's battle.
After the regret, Yang Tao's eyes were full of hatred. He hated why Sun Bing didn't express his strength clearly yesterday, but he had forgotten that he had brought all these consequences upon himself.
However, Yang Tao didn't have much time left, because Sun Bing was slowly approaching him. Immediately, he ran far away. This time, he had used all his energy to run. He wished that his parents would give him two less legs.
"Do you still need to run?" All of a sudden, Yang Tao felt a faint voice coming from behind him.
The voice was not loud, but it scared Yang Tao. He turned his head slightly and saw a green robe at the corner of his eye.
This time, the fear in his heart intensified. Because just now, he had witnessed with his own eyes that this young man had killed three Cultivator of the Qi-cultivation Realm warriors.
However, no matter how fast Yang Tao was running, in Sun Bing's eyes... Sun Bing, who had cultivated the Floating Light... In terms of speed, there was no need to fear any rogue cultivators at this stage. Furthermore, Yang Tao was only a Body Quenching Stage warrior, and he hadn't even reached the Qi Refining yet.
Not long after, Yang Tao suddenly stopped in his tracks, and then breathed heavily. Finally, he sat down on the ground and didn't want to move anymore.
This wasn't because he didn't want to run away, but because he couldn't run anymore. After all, he was just a Body Quenching Stage warrior, and the Genuine Qi in his body wasn't as strong as a Qi Refining Stage warrior's Genuine Qi. Plus, he had been operating the Genuine Qi without a care for his own life all this time. It was all for the sake of increasing his speed of escape. It wasn't easy for him to hold on for such a long period of time.
Besides, Yang Tao had finally realized that Sun Bing was just toying with him. Sun Bing was following closely behind him, neither too far nor too close. He only needed to turn his head slightly to see Sun Bing's figure. As long as Sun Bing wanted to take his life, it would only be a matter of one sword strike.
It was precisely because of this reason that if he wanted to escape, he might as well beg Sun Bing to let him go. Immediately, both of his legs fell to the ground, and his eyes revealed a pleading look. "Just let me go. They forced me to do all of this. I am also unwilling to accept this."
Looking at the other party's pitiful appearance, Sun Bing did not like it. Force? It was just a joke. One should know that he had clearly said what he wanted to say just now. With such a skilled technique, it was obvious that he had more than ten years of experience.
Furthermore, he had also noticed the trace of resentment that flashed across Yang Tao's eyes. He couldn't afford to leave any future troubles behind. Immediately, he raised the sharp sword in his hand and prepared to attack his opponent.
Seeing that Sun Bing wasn't affected in the slightest, Yang Tao couldn't help but feel a wave of horror in his heart. Especially his eyes, which were flickering with the light of survival. He was still considered young. He didn't want to die yet, so he took advantage of the moment when the sword light was about to attack him. He immediately said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me. I'll tell you a piece of news in exchange for my life."
"Oh!" The other party's words made Sun Bing stop what he was doing. He quietly looked at the other party and said indifferently, "As long as the information you provide is valuable, then I can consider not killing you."
After all, he had just arrived in Tianwu City. He wasn't familiar with the surroundings yet, and it was obvious that the news was very important. This had aroused a trace of curiosity in Sun Bing's heart.
Seeing that Sun Bing had really stopped what he was doing, Yang Tao was pleasantly surprised, as if he was afraid that Sun Bing would go back on his word. Without any hesitation, he immediately said, "I know a place. My Genuine Essence Fruit was obtained from there. As long as you don't kill me, I will tell you this news."
After hearing this, Sun Bing's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He had never thought that Sun Bing would know about this. One should know that the Genuine Essence Fruit was very precious. Yesterday, Sun Bing was able to obtain so many silver taels, and five of them were almost one-fourth of the total value. One could imagine the value of the Genuine Essence Fruit.
However, in an instant, a look of understanding flashed across Sun Bing's eyes. When he killed the last person just now, the other party had clearly revealed this information. Immediately, Sun Bing couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
This was because the amount of cultivation resources Sun Bing needed right now was really huge. Once he reached the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, there wouldn't be any more Spiritual Stone that could help him improve his cultivation base. If he only relied on himself to absorb the spiritual energy between the heaven and earth, the speed would be too slow, and he wouldn't be able to accept it.
If he could obtain such news, it would undoubtedly be a huge fortune. In this way, Sun Bing didn't need to worry about the problem of his cultivation resources. Therefore, this news was worth a thousand gold coins to him. He immediately raised his brows. "Go ahead then."
"But will you really let me go after I tell you?" Yang Tao couldn't help but ask worriedly. If this news was spread out, it would mean that he had no capital to negotiate. Therefore, he could only clench his teeth tightly.
Seeing the other party's expression, Sun Bing couldn't help but smile. "Now, I am the chopping board and you are the meat on the chopping board. You have no other choice. If you say it out loud, you will have no other choice. Then there's still a chance, but if I don't say it, my sword won't show any mercy."
It seemed like he had seen Sun Bing's intention to swing his sword again. This frightened Yang Tao, but after thinking about it, it was a fact. After all, his life and death was in Sun Bing's hands. If he really didn't want to say anything, the sword would fall on his body without any hesitation.
He immediately calmed his mind and said. "The Genuine Essence Fruit is located thirty miles north of here. After seeing a giant tree, I walked another ten miles west and arrived at a valley. This is where the Genuine Essence Fruit is located."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Sun Bing. "Can I leave now?"
Sun Bing's face turned cold. If you want to leave, take me to that place. If the information you give me is fake, then I will lose more than I gain."
Upon hearing Sun Bing's words, a trace of despair flashed across Yang Tao's face, because only he himself knew... The address he just provided was indeed a fake address. Initially, he thought that Sun Bing was so young and should not have much experience. He didn't expect that Sun Bing would be able to see through it with just a glance.
