Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Robbing Cultivator Blocks the Road

Three years later.

Little Luoxia Peak, Luoxia Night Market.

A masked man is squatting behind a stall.

In front of him is a gray-white cloth about two meters wide, on which are placed four pill bottles. Next to each bottle is a note with “Nurturing Qi Pill”, “Exorcise Evil Spirits Pill”, “Breaking Stage Pill”, and “Focus Pill” written on it. People come and go on the market street, now and then someone would squat down to bargain.

There are deals made and also people leaving unsatisfied.

The masked man is none other than Han Yi.

This market is one of the many outer peak markets.

At this time, it has been three years since Han Yi returned to the sect.

During these three years, Han Yi traveled to various outer markets and collected more than a dozen different masks.

Moreover, every time he sold pills, he would switch to a night market far away from the last one after a few months.

In order to minimize risks and avoid being targeted.

As night deepens, Han Yi collects the pills and folds the gray-white cloth before leaving.

About two hundred meters behind him, three figures, although not walking together, exchange glances and follow Han Yi at a moderate pace.

Han Yi, walking ahead, doesn’t notice anything unusual.

Over the past two years, he has become less vigilant, having never encountered any robbery incidents.

As usual, after exiting the enclosed market area, he starts to speed up. Using the Light Body Technique, his body moves swiftly like a flying bird.

The trio behind him, upon seeing Han Yi’s increased speed, hastily exit the market and chase after him.

When they reach the mountainside of Little Luoxia Peak.

Han Yi stops.

Someone blocks his path.

“Junior brother, I’m only here to rob you of your wealth. Leave your storage bag and you can go.”

The person blocking him has a hoarse voice and wears a mask, evidently an experienced robber.

Han Yi’s inner heart shudders.

Over the past two years, he has repeatedly imagined in his heart what to do if he encountered a robber?

Now that it comes to it, he is indeed somewhat nervous.

After all, apart from the sudden encounter with Jiang De in Mengshan City two years ago, this is his second actual battle.

This time, too, it’s an ambush, and the fight comes down to absolute power.

“Senior brother, I…”

Han Yi goes to say more, but suddenly turns his head and looks behind him. Three figures are rushing towards him at an angle.

“Not good, it’s a pincer attack. They’re a group.”

Han Yi immediately takes action, raising his hand and flicking two fingers in succession.

Bang!!

With his newly advanced Late Stage of Qi Cultivation and mastering 90% of Spirit Void Finger skill, these two finger strikes produce unimaginable power. The person who was originally blocking Han Yi reveals an ecstatic expression when he sees his accomplices approach. He thinks they’ve finally caught a big fish.

However, in the next moment, he is astonished.

No, to say he is astonished is insufficient; it should be described as terror.

He sees the big fish flick a finger, and the twinkling spirit light that appears like starlight is suddenly right in front of him.

He thinks that with his Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, it should not be difficult to handle an attack from someone who has just entered the same stage. So he activates a defensive magic skill, intending to block this strike.

The defensive magic skill is called Golden Shield Skill.

He has tested it before, and the skill can even withstand a brief attack from someone at the sixth level of cultivation.

Unfortunately.

The next instant, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He could only watch helplessly as the starlight flashed like lightning, piercing through the golden shield he had activated and landing on his body.

Before the intense pain came, another streak of starlight followed closely behind.

Boom, boom!!

After flicking his fingers, Han Yi didn’t even bother to look at the result. Instead, he quickly merged his index and middle fingers and waved forward.

The dagger at his waist in the back suddenly soared into the sky.

Whoosh!!

A breaking sound resonated, and the screams in front of him stopped abruptly.

Han Yi dashed forward as fast as lightning, reached out with one hand, and grabbed the storage bag on the chest of the headless corpse with a pierced hole in it.

The dagger that had broken through the air had also returned to his waist, trembling slightly and humming softly.

After that.

Instead of lingering in battle, Han Yi pushed the Light Body Technique to its limit, rushing forward and disappearing without a trace after a few leaps.

Although he was not afraid of the three people behind him, what if more people arrived, or even someone stronger in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation?

It’s okay to kill robbing cultivators, but by killing so proficiently, he looked more like a robber, and it would not be easy to explain.

By the time the trio had arrived here,

a strong sense of fear had engulfed them.

It was too fast; the battle had ended too quickly.

From a distance, they saw starlights flashing, screams erupting, and then everything went silent as the battle ended.

“Senior Brother Zhuang, what should we do?”

“Is Li Kui really dead?”

“He was at the Peak of the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation. Even if he faced the

Sixth Layer, he should be able to resist for a short while.”

“Could the opponent be a Seventh Layer expert?”

“It’s not impossible.”

The male cultivators on both sides sounded somewhat panic-stricken.

Meanwhile, the masked man in the middle, who had just stood up from the squatting position beside the headless corpse and was referred to as Senior Brother Zhuang, the strongest member of their small team, spoke with a hint of fear in his voice.

“The opponent is very strong, incredibly strong.”

“In just two magic skills, without revealing any specific attributes, he broke through Junior Brother Li Kui’s shield, pierced his chest, and then decapitated him with a sword, clean and neat.”

“Even if 1 encountered the opponent, my chances of survival would be slim.”

“Even if the opponent isn’t in the Seventh Layer of Qi Cultivation, he must be at the peak of the Sixth Layer, and with astonishing combat prowess at that.” “Let’s leave quickly. We cannot stay here for long. This time, it’s just Junior Brother Li Kui’s bad luck.”

The masked man took out a black bottle, poured out a viscous black liquid, and dropped it on the corpse. There was a sizzling sound, and a moment later, only a small pit remained in its original place, with even the bones melted away.

Such skilled techniques showed that he had already stepped into the path of robbing cultivators.

After that.

The trio quickly disappeared.

Apart from them and Han Yi, no one knew that a battle had taken place here, nor that a Peak Fifth Layer Qi Cultivation robber had died.

When Han Yi returned to Little Lingxu Peak, he removed his mask, and his heart was still pounding.

It took a full quarter of an hour before he calmed down.

After he calmed down, he began to summarize this encounter.

“There were four robbers. Fortunately, I was quick-witted. If the three behind me had surrounded me, I might have escaped but probably injured.”

“It was too dangerous.”

“I can’t risk going to the Luoxia Market again.”

“However, my combat prowess isn’t bad. Within the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation, no one can withstand my successive Spirit Void Finger flicks. As for the sixth layer, well, I’ve never faced one before, and 1 can’t draw conclusions without knowing their methods.”

“As expected, a fight requires strategy—speed, accuracy, ruthlessness. Talking too much can be distracting..”
