The young girl had just calmed down from her earlier fear, and was surprised to see Zhong Ming actually handing over the money to her.
"No need, thank you so much for what you did today, Big Bro." As he said that, he quickly bent down and bowed deeply towards Zhong Ming. Then he ran over to the cart and began to clean up the mess on the ground.
Zhong Ming looked at the small cart that had been smashed into smithereens. It was no longer usable, and the raw materials for making the food and the finished snacks were scattered all over the ground.
Zhong Ming walked over and extended his hand. Take it, this is what they should give you! "Besides, there's still dad waiting for you to buy food at home."
Although this amount of money could not compare to the amount of money they had lost tonight, it was still more or less enough to resolve the urgent matter for the father and daughter pair. When the girl heard Zhong Ming's words, her eyes twitched, and she did not say anymore. He did not refuse again.
After cleaning up, under the girl's repeated thanks, Zhong Ming directly took a taxi and brought the girl back home.
Zhong Ming originally wanted to personally send the girl home and personally see her safely home. However, this time, the girl by his side would be in even greater danger. Because at this moment, Zhong Ming could clearly feel that not far from him, there was a very strong person staring at him.
Obviously, this person was here for him. If his guess was not wrong, this person should be the expert that Lin Xiaofen mentioned. This time, he stood closer to Zhong Ming, his entire body releasing a vicious Qi.
Right now, it was almost time for the night market to disperse, and these hoodlums had just caused a commotion. At this moment, there were very few merchants that continued to do business here.
By the wide moat, the cold wind blew. Zhong Ming could clearly see an old man in a black cloak standing not far away from him.
Zhong Ming used the Spiritual Sense to inspect the old man in front of him. This old man was not a cultivator, but there were some faint fluctuations of spirit energy coming from his body. Zhong Ming had previously understood from the ancient martial arts manuals that this man should be a martial cultivator. Although they were both cultivators, the difference between the two was huge.
Ancient Martial Arts had Level 7: Elementary Martial Arts, Level 2 Earth Martial Arts, Level 3 Mortal Martial Arts, Level 4 Heaven Martial Art, Level 5 Black Tortoise, Level 6 Divine Martial Art, and Level 7 Sacred Martial Art. According to some ancient texts, on Earth, even reaching the Black Tortoise realm was already considered top tier. The human body above the Heaven realm relied on absorbing the Heaven and Earth Essence to survive. There was no need for food, only the Ascension of the mortal world.
Among these seven levels, each level was divided into nine different levels. Every cultivator had their own attributes, and their attributes were also completely different. Just like what was carried in some lives, this attribute also existed within the cultivator himself. There were many types of attributes, and among them, wind, thunder, ice, and fire were the main elements.
It was just like the little girl, Ye Xiaoyin, whom he had met at the unnamed lake in the Songshan Medical School. Her grandfather was at the level of a beginner's level 2 martial artist. At that time, when Zhong Ming was in the third stage of the Nascent Soul stage, he had a 50% chance of victory. However, it cannot be ruled out that the traction of the old injuries in the elderly leads to an impact on the true level of performance.
Cultivators also had to go through a huge bottleneck when they advanced to every level, and the difference between each level was huge. When martial cultivators were together, fighting that surpassed their cultivation levels was practically non-existent. There was only one side that was overwhelming, and that was the destruction.
Zhong Ming retracted his Spiritual Sense and gasped in surprise, at this moment, the warriors not far from him were all beginner martial artists level 5 and above. According to normal comparison, he was above Zhong Ming.
Although Zhong Ming was at the fourth stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, it was unknown whether he would be able to escape unscathed. Moreover, Zhong Ming could feel the other party's cold intent. It seemed like the other party was trying to kill him with the intent to strike him, or at the very least, create trouble for him.
Zhong Ming sighed a little. It seemed that he really had to thank Lin Xiaofen for saving him. The current gap between him and the opponent was so huge. If this was the last time they had met, then the odds were against him.
To mortals, ancient martial arts was a legend. Not many people knew about it, and those who had seen it were even less. Zhong Ming's knowledge of the ancient texts was extremely limited.
Fortunately, cultivators did not have Spiritual Sense, so the other party was unable to find out Zhong Ming's current level.
"You are Zhong Ming?" An aged voice sounded. It was so far away that it made people feel like it had dried up and shattered.
"That's right!" Zhong Ming also stood against the wind and said indifferently.
"You hurt my disciple. Today, I'm here to seek justice for my disciple!" Daoyang's voice contained a hint of bitterness.
"Alright!" Zhong Ming was currently expressionless, as he looked at the scene in front of him. As long as you have the ability! "
Hearing Zhong Ming's words, she was slightly shocked. The youth in front of her was only about twenty years old, and had a delicate appearance. He didn't expect his courage to be so great. However, when he thought about it again, his disciple was not a weakling either. Someone who could beat up his disciple to such a state definitely had some skills. But then he thought, what kind of cultivation could this young boy have? Even if he was a martial arts genius, this grade of martial artists would still not be able to compete with him.
"I just like you. I have a reason to give you a quick death!" As he spoke, he leapt forward with a leap. Without saying more, he directly struck his palm towards Zhong Ming.
The palm attack was fierce and forceful, not giving the opponent a chance to react at all.
Zhong Ming knew that in this strike, his opponent had only used thirty percent of his power;
Zhong Ming did not dodge. Instead, he struck out with his palm. The same ferocity, the same strong wind.
In the instant that the two palms collided, a large amount of air currents rippled, and the sound of air tearing could be heard. Zhong Ming and Dao Shallow landed on the ground.
Dao-light was startled, and a sliver of hesitation appeared in his heart. The young man in front of him was actually able to receive a palm strike with thirty percent of his power. Even his most talented disciple would only be able to stand still after six or seven steps back. And this young man in front of him was actually as relaxed as him.
Ever since his disciple had sent someone to look for him, saying that he had been bullied, he had been thinking about it day and night and didn't think it would be that serious. However, he had finally met his disciple a few days ago. There were already many fractures in his disciple who was lying on the sickbed, although they were treated by doctors and not a serious problem. However, he knew that there was a bone fragment that had damaged his disciple's meridians, so even if his body healed up, it would still be enough. He was no longer a person suitable for cultivation.
A talented youth that had only appeared for decades had been destroyed just like that. Thinking about it, Dao Qian felt another wave of heartache.
"Your talent is very good. It's a pity that you can't be left alive unless you're under my tutelage!" Dao Qian gritted her teeth and squeezed out every single word from the gaps between her teeth. Her killing intent grew even stronger.
Although Zhong Ming was not completely sure that he would be able to win, since he had reached this critical juncture, he would definitely try his best to make the best of it.
Furthermore, Zhong Ming had seen many storms before, with the opponent's current cultivation, if it was his previous life, he would probably have a chance to speak up. In this life, although his current strength could not reach the level of being able to crush others, he was still not qualified to kill him!
"Come on!" Zhong Ming's hands moved, his sleeves fluttered, and he stood there determinedly.
He raised his foot and stomped down on the shore. It didn't feel like he was using much strength. However, as his foot stomped down, the ground began to tremble as well. Instantly, a massive wave surged, sending sand and dust flying everywhere. The bright moon in the pitch-black night sky was now obscured by sand and dust. The entire space was pitch-black, and he couldn't even see his fingers in front of him.
Zhong Ming was shocked, he had underestimated the other party. If he didn't guess wrong, this Dao light was a level 5 beginner martial artist with the earth attribute.
A martial artist's attribute and the natural environment were incompatible with each other. In other words, because of their attribute, the surrounding environment could have different effects on martial artists with different attributes. For example, a fire attribute martial practitioner would be at a disadvantage in the sea. Wind attribute martial artists were not affected by the external world, or very little. This was because wind attributed warriors could display their full strength wherever they went.
The attribute of this warrior was the Earth Attribute, which was the same as the Wind Attribute.
As long as the feet were still on the ground, the spirit energy from the earth vein would be continuously transferred to the cultivator. Even though his cultivation base was still low, he could only rely on a small portion of the Earth Vein Qi. However, this was already enough to reach the level 6 Beginner Martial Disciple level of a non-attributed Martial Disciple.
Another palm came down. This palm actually contained 90% of the power. With the help of the harsh environment around him, this palm strike contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Zhong Ming clenched both of his hands tightly, both of his fists striking out, causing the surrounding space to seem to distort.
Zhong Ming felt his body become heavy, and his entire body flew out, smashing into a stone railing not far away. Instantly, the stone shattered into pieces and both the person and the person were thrown far away.
"Pfft!" Zhong Ming immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Zhong Ming felt that the movement of the Earth Mai Qi had affected the fluctuations of the spirit energy in his body, so he was unable to unleash all of the spirit energy in his body.
Right now, one person was weakened before they received an increase in strength, but the difference in strength was huge. Zhong Ming's situation was extremely dangerous.
After being struck by the destructive strike just now, Daozang was pushed back quite a few steps. However, he didn't spit out any blood. The borrowing of the Earth Vein Qi was quite useful at this moment.
Zhong Ming climbed up from the ground with much effort and took out the remaining Red Cloud Herb from his bag. Although he was on Earth where the spiritual qi was thin, he still had to rely on the spiritual qi of the Red Cloud Herb to cultivate. But now, they had no choice but to do so, because if they wanted to quickly increase the number of Spiritual Energy, there was no other way.
Zhong Ming directly placed the Red Cloud Herb next to his mouth and took a bite. When he read the book, he would feel a wave of pure Spiritual Energy flowing down his throat and into his major meridians. His entire body felt a lot more comfortable, and the wounds on his body seemed to be surrounded by a cooling antidote. It felt incomparably comfortable, and at the same time, he was slowly recovering.
As he chewed, Zhong Ming's heart also ached. Even if you want to eat it, you should at least forge a pill, right? Using it like that was a waste! There was no choice, Red Cloud Herb did not emit Spiritual Energy at this time, if Zhong Ming did not use this method, it would be difficult for him to obtain the Red Cloud Herb's spirit energy. Although this technique could only absorb forty percent of the Red Cloud Herb's spirit energy, it was still enough.
Zhong Ming chewed the Red Cloud Herb in his mouth with his eyes closed, not forgetting to feel its movements.
Tang Qian was dumbfounded. Had he been knocked silly? You think you can beat me up just by eating Lingzhi? Wishful thinking!
Just then, Zhong Ming finished chewing and slowly stood up.
"Brother!" Why are you here! " At this moment, an incomparably sweet voice filled with worry sounded out from not too far away.
