1643 An ant shaking a tree (1)
Beside the clear stream, a group of men and women in short robes were sitting and resting by the river.
All of them were wearing crowns made of different materials, covered in runes and inlaid with priceless gems, exuding faint energy fluctuations.
He was wearing battle armor and holding a long sword in his hand. He was obviously dressed like a cultivator.
It seemed that they had gone through a long journey. These cultivators looked tired, but even so, they were still alert to their surroundings when they rested.
Therefore, when Tang Zhen deliberately made a sound, he was immediately discovered by these cultivators.
“Who is it? where are you hiding?”
With a young cultivator’s shout, his companions all jumped up from the ground and unsheathed their long swords, staring at the forest not far away.
A few of the cultivators had balls of light in their hands, which seemed to be ready to attack at any time.
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m just a traveler!”
A faint voice was transmitted over as Tang Zhen walked out from the forest. He swept his gaze across the cultivators who were waiting in a tight formation and explained in a soft voice.
After seeing that Tang Zhen was alone and didn’t have any cultivation, the nervous cultivators all heaved a sigh of relief.
However, there were still some people who were worried. One of the young cultivators questioned Tang Zhen, this is a barren mountain. You’re just an ordinary person without any cultivation. How dare you run around here? aren’t you afraid of being swallowed by the demon beasts? ”
“Or do you have evil intentions and are trying to harm us?”
When the cultivator who was questioning Tang Zhen said this, he actually directly thrust the long sword in his hand. From the looks of it, he seemed to want to kill Tang Zhen with one strike!
Regardless of whether it was a threat or not, the killing intent in his eyes truly existed. It was as if in his eyes, Tang Zhen, who did not have any cultivation, was just an ant that could be casually crushed to death.
“Impudent!”
When he saw that the cultivator’s longsword was less than an inch away from his body, and that he did not have the slightest intention of withdrawing his hand, Tang Zhen’s expression slightly sank. He raised his hand and pointed at the longsword.
With a light “Chi” sound, the exquisitely forged long sword let out a sorrowful cry and suddenly shattered into countless small pieces, which flew back towards the attacker’s body.
“Be careful!”
A white-haired old man in the team saw this and warned loudly with a frightened expression. At the same time, he waved his hand and threw out an item that looked like a Jade card, which suddenly exploded in front of the attacker.
An energy shield instantly appeared, protecting the young cultivator who attacked Tang Zhen. Who would have thought that the fine metal pieces were like an indestructible divine weapon, and the shield that had just been propped up was riddled with thousands of holes.
The cultivator who had attacked Tang Zhen let out a blood-curdling screech. His entire body was spurting out blood as he fell limply to the ground.
“AI!”
The white-haired old man’s eyes revealed an anxious and shocked expression when he saw this. He shouted to the cultivators beside him,”set up a formation and be on guard.” Then, he took out a pair of golden rings and threw them at Tang Zhen.
This golden bangle’s flying speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of Tang Zhen. Soon after, the light intensified, dazzling people to the point that they could not open their eyes.
At the same time, the Golden Ring’s diameter was also continuously expanding. It wrapped around Tang Zhen’s body as if it wanted to trap him.
“You dare to show off such a small trick in front of me!”
Tang Zhen coldly snorted. He waved his hand at the Golden bangle. Soon after, a ball of flame appeared and landed on the Golden bangle.
The seemingly incomparably tough golden ring paused for a moment. When it encountered the flames released by Tang Zhen, it immediately seemed to be made of ice as it rapidly melted into the flames.
“Ah, it hurts!”
As the Golden rings disappeared in the blink of an eye, the old man’s face turned as white as a sheet. After letting out a wild cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Uncle-master, how are you?”
Seeing this, the cultivators beside him quickly looked at him with worried eyes, as if they were going to help him.
However, the white-haired old man forced his shaking body and shouted at the cultivators beside him, ” the enemy is too powerful. You can’t be his match. I’ll Cover You. Run!
When the white-haired old man said this, he took out a pile of exquisitely carved jade balls from his body. He raised his hands and knocked them with all his might. Soon after, a lightning bolt as thick as a thumb appeared out of thin air and headed straight for Tang Zhen.
“You guys run!”
When the old man attacked Tang Zhen, he didn’t forget to remind the other cultivators to escape. However, what happened next caused his heart to sink to the bottom.
Tang Zhen in front of him extended his hand and beckoned. That Thunderbolt was like a docile little snake as it landed in Tang Zhen’s hand. At the same time, it was continuously wriggling, as though it was filled with admiration for Tang Zhen.
“Damn it, what’s going on?”
The white-haired old man’s eyes almost popped out. He never dreamed that the chain Lightning he released with his magic treasure would have no effect on the enemy.
It was simply delusional to think of escaping in front of such a strong person!
Although he understood this, the white-haired old man still didn’t want to give up. He just wanted to give it a try and maybe one or two of them could escape.
“If you don’t make things clear today, don’t even think about leaving!”
Tang Zhen’s voice had just sounded when the small lightning snake in his hand suddenly flew out. After which, it was like a living creature that had its own intelligence as it continuously circled around those cultivators.
With each revolution, the lightning snake grew in size. In just a few dozen breaths, the lightning snake had become a giant lightning Python, its appearance ferocious and terrifying!
After seeing this scene, the white-haired old man felt despair in his heart. He indicated to the cultivators not to put up any unnecessary resistance in case Tang Zhen really wanted to kill them.
They had no choice but to surrender. Tang Zhen’s strength far surpassed them. It seemed like he was toying with them. Otherwise, with his methods, they would have long become corpses!
“Your Excellency, please stop. We can talk about this slowly!”
The white-haired old man cupped his hands towards Tang Zhen. There was a trace of begging on his face. He could only lower his face and beg for mercy in the face of such an expert of unknown origin.
However, the strong were respected in the cultivation world. Tang Zhen had such strength, so there was nothing wrong with him being a little humble.
“Now that you think it’s easy to talk things over, why did you attack just now?”
Tang Zhen coldly snorted as he spoke to the old man,”If I were an ordinary person, I would have been killed by you guys with one strike, right?”
The old man bitterly laughed and explained to Tang Zhen,”You may not know this, but we’ve encountered all sorts of ambushes along the way. We’ve been on edge for a long time.
It’s true that there are very few people in this barren mountain range, and monster beasts run rampant. You don’t have the aura of a cultivator on you, so it’s inevitable that people will be suspicious. My martial nephew was afraid of making a mistake, so he killed you!”
The old man’s explanation seemed perfect, but Tang Zhen only believed half of it.
This group of cultivators probably treated mortals like grass, which was why they didn’t hesitate to attack.
Of course, he wasn’t going to pursue the matter. Instead, he looked at the old man and asked, ” “Now, tell me, who are you and what are you planning to do?”
“Sir, we’re from the spirit sword sect, and we’re planning to head to Qi yang city to recruit new disciples for our sect,”
After the old man answered, he looked at him with a nervous expression and a very respectful attitude.
“Qi yang city?”
After Tang Zhen heard this name, he secretly thought that it was such a coincidence. The place he planned to go to was precisely Qi yang city.
Perhaps this wasn’t a coincidence, but the power of fate.
As the son of fate, even though Loki had encountered an unforeseen event, there was still a mysterious power that was helping him, guiding the Savior to his side.
