Chapter 280: Space Boat

"How powerful!"

Since the moment the purple-clothed man blocked their way, a crowd had gathered around them. In the bustling city, it was not uncommon for people to block and attack others like this.

Everyone could see that the purple-clothed man didn't have any Dou Qi wings, but was still able to stand in the air, showing his incredible strength.

They all wanted to see how Xiao Ming and his group would handle the situation, but they were surprised to see that Xiao Ming easily defeated the purple-clothed man in just a few moves.

Of course, no one thought that the purple-clothed man was weak. Even if he was weaker, he was still a Dou Ancestor powerhouse.

The fact that Xiao Ming could defeat him so easily only meant that he was incredibly powerful!

On the back of the gryphon, Xiao Ming scanned the surrounding area.

All onlookers who made eye contact with him shrank their necks and showed awkward smiles, quickly driving their flying magical beasts away, afraid of being targeted.

Xiao Ming didn't pay attention to their reactions. Instead, he looked back at the purple-clothed man he had thrown to the back of the gryphon.

"Xiao Ming, how should we deal with this person?" Xiao Yi Xian asked as she took a step forward, her beautiful eyes full of disgust as she looked at the purple-clothed man.

If it weren't for Xiao Ming's intervention earlier, she would have let him taste the flavor of being poisoned to death.

"I think we should just bury him," said Zi Yan in a muffled voice.

Despite Zi Yan's cute appearance, she had never been merciful to those who angered her. When she was at the Jia Nan Academy, even the students who offended her were at least bedridden for ten days or half a month.

"It's a waste to bury him. Let Qing Lin handle it," said Xiao Ming.

Qing Lin was suddenly startled when her name was mentioned and didn't understand how she was supposed to handle it.

"There is no need to be nervous. This man in purple is a seventh-rank magical beast in human form. His real form is probably a Purple Soul Flame Serpent with a strength of around five-star Dou Ancestor. If he hadn't been careless just now, he wouldn't have been captured so quickly by me. Try using your Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils to subdue him. If you succeed, it will be very beneficial to you," Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Qing Lin breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't realized that the man in purple was actually a snake in human form. When it came to using the Jade Snake Three Flower Pupils to subdue snakes, she would have more confidence.

"Xiao Ming, should we head straight to where the wormhole is located?" Walking beside Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian asked.

"Not yet, let's buy a space boat first so that we can arrive faster." Xiao Ming replied with a smile, slowing his pace slightly.

"Mm."

...

Walking slowly on the bustling streets, where the crowds were like ants, and various vendors and shops lined both sides of the street, calling out to attract customers and displaying their wares. The entire Horizon City was filled with a busy and crowded atmosphere.

Xiao Ming stopped a pedestrian and asked for directions to the nearest space boat vendor. After receiving the information, he thanked the person and turned to the girls.

"According to that person, the only vendor that sells space boats is the Luo family, who controls the space wormhole. Let's head there directly," he said.

Naturally, none of the girls would object to Xiao Ming's words, so they all nodded in agreement.

After half an hour of walking through half of Horizon City, they arrived at a massive black stone square, guarded by numerous guards. At the center of the square, on a tall stone platform, a powerful space force could be faintly felt.

With only a quick glance at the square, Xiao Ming and his companions headed straight to the right side of the square, where there was an extremely luxurious shop.

"Are you interested in buying a space boat?" A shop attendant greeted them as they entered the store.

Upon scanning the shop, they saw five wooden ships about the size of a palm on the shop counter. The wooden ships faintly shimmered with silver light and even contained a trace of faint space power.

Seeing Xiao Ming nod, the shop attendant was delighted. Space boats were expensive, and they couldn't sell many of them throughout the year.

Naturally, they would be well-received if someone came to buy one. However, Xiao Ming had no intention of wasting time on small talk, and immediately said, "Bring out your best space boat."

The shop attendant was taken aback by his straightforwardness. Was he really not going to ask about the price? He wasn't pulling his leg, was he?

"Sir, our space boats are not cheap." The shop attendant coughed and reminded him.

"It doesn't matter. I can afford it." Xiao Ming said. He couldn't even remember how much gold he had now.
