chapter 322: people with the same pursuittranslator: reverie_ editor: kurisu
these three strong prodigies all had the cultivation of the seventh layer of the spiritual ocean tier, it was quite surprising.
bai ming showed no sign of weakness and looked towards yang chong, and yang chong did the same. one reached towards the sword hilt, and the other reached towards the spear, burning with desire for battle almost as if they were going up in flames.
but at last, they didnât make a move, only looking at each other deeply before they entered the forest on their own.
the exam just started, it was too early to fight. even if they won, they wouldnât obtain many tokens, and instead they would just reveal their own trump cards; they werenât the only prodigies here.
âthat tanned brother.â within the shouting, a fat and round youngster ran over almost as if he was rolling, stopping in front of ling han, panting. âyouâre too unfriendly, not even waiting for treasure master.â
ling han smiled faintly, and said, âyou still dare to show up? arenât you afraid of your shady business being exposed and being chased after by people?â
âpah, where have i lied?â ma duo bao sneered. âtreasure master never cheats in his dealings, donât you ruin treasure masterâs reputation.â
âhold it, do you even have any reputation?â ling han shook his head.
âblack brother, how about we join hands?â ma duo bao came closer.
âwhy?â ling han asked. âyouâre covered with jewels and pearls from head to toe, and you still need to join hands?â
if he didnât unleash demon birth sword, even he couldnât deal with all of ma duo baoâs spirit tools.
âhehe, black brother, wouldnât you want to do a huge business deal?â ma duo bao smiled evilly, moved his head closer, and said in a low voice, âdonât tell me that youâre not interested in the medicinal garden here!â
ling han was shocked. he said, âyou want to steal from the medicinal garden here? such great nerve.â
âhehe, weâre people with the same pursuit; the second in line doesnât tell off the boss!â ma duo bao cupped his hands in salute to ling han, and said, âhow about it, how about it? treasure master is most adept in lifting restrictions. what can you do?â
ling han scratched his head, and said, âfrom where did you get that i looked like a thief, and how come youâre admitting it all on your own?â
ma duo bao laughed out loud and said, âall right, all right. treasure masterâs done business for so many years, so the moment you lift your butt, treasure master will know what kind of crap you defecate. like i said, weâre people with the same pursuit, yet you try to cover it up. are you not regarding treasure master as a friend?â
ling han rolled his eyes and said, âwe were never friends!â
âunfamiliar at first, but well accustomed soon enough, arenât we already friends?â ma duo bao looked at ling han twice more. âthis disguise technique of yours is really not bad, even almost deceiving treasure master.â
this time, ling han was truly shockedâthe other party could actually see through his disguise?
he activated the eye of truth and looked towards ma duo bao, but ma duo bao reached out to cover his faceâthe lines of fabric on his sleeves emitted a faint light, making even ling hanâs eye of truth unable to penetrate it.
âwow, what luck you have to actually have gotten the eye of truth! hahaha, now treasure master has complete certainty. youâll be responsible for using your eye, and treasure master will be responsible for using his hands. i promise you that weâll steal the medicinal garden till itâs barren,â ma duo bao said excitedly.
a coldness arose within ling hanâs heart. this guy could recognize the eye of truth with one glanceâwas he really just a youngster? if he could disguise himself, why couldnât the other party? however, when they entered the mountain gates, a flower blossom tier cultivator appeared. he might have looked unperturbed, but if a person with makeup surpassing the age limit were hidden in the crowd, he would definitely have found out at once.
young or not could be seen from oneâs life force. the various functions of the bodies of those past thirty would start going on a down slope and their life force would appear to be on a downward trend as long as they didnât enter flower blossom tier, which was completely different from the vigor of youngster.
however, if ma duo bao was an old monster in disguise, and could deceive a flower blossom tier practitionerâs eyesight, what cultivation was he at?
ling han thought to himself, and said, âalright, then letâs join hands.â he was very interested in emptying the winter moon sectâs medicinal garden.
yu long mountains were the winter moon sectâs private property, and in order to avoid people from sneaking into the mountains to dig up herbs and hunt monsters, the entire mountain range was protected by a mountain-protecting formation. if one tried to break through it with external power, the winter moon sect would definitely be alarmed.
however, they already entered the winter moon sect, so they werenât scared of tripping the formation. as long as they had the ability to open up the medicinal gardenâs restriction, they could easily rob the medicinal garden empty.
they looked at each other, both starting to laugh.
as they advanced, it was clear ma duo bao had done the groundwork, staying in front to lead the way and walking in a fixed direction.
âstop there, hand over you tokens, and i can spare you your lives.â however, after they walked for a while, they encountered a small team in ambush. a total of thirty-four people began to surround them.
âyou go or i go?â ling han said smiling at ma duo bao
âtreasure master is only interested in treasures, just keep the tokens for yourself.â ma duo bao shrugged.
as expected, this guy came especially for the winter moon sectâs medicinal garden. earlier, he probably scammed other peopleâs origin crystals on a whim, and thought that it was dumb not to take advantages when there was a chance.
ling han looked towards those people and said with a smile, ânow itâs a robbery. get a bit more serious, and hand over all of your tokens.â
those people were fuming with anger. they were the ones that was doing the robbery, alright?
âif you must go about it the hard way... brothers, kill him!â these people waved their sabers and swords and charged over. sÑará´h the novÑlÆire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
ling han frowned. if these people were just robbing, then he wouldnât mind robbing back and letting them live. however, these people now bared their killing intent, already harboring the thought to kill.
he snorted and tapped the swordâs sheath with his left hand. xiu , the long sword instantly bounced out, seized by his hands, and with a shua , a dazzling sword light swept across.
pu, pu, pu, pu, fresh blood splattered everywhere. traces of blood appeared on their right shoulders which immediately hung limply, the weapons in their hands instantly falling onto the ground as cries were heard one after another.
ma duo bao clapped as he said, âgood job on acting cool, i give you ten points!â
ling han still didnât kill them in the end, so settled for only crippling their right arms. it wouldnât affect their movements hereafter, but they wouldnât ever be able to use violence. he said indifferently, âleave your tokens and get lost.â
these people knew they encountered an expert; with pale faces, they hurriedly placed their tokens together and ran right away without saying a word.
now they were simply injured, and if they still werenât sensible, then they might also lose their lives.
they ran backwards one after another. with their arms crippled, what the hell was the point in fighting.
ling han picked up the tokens and put them away into the black tower. in front of ma duo bao who was adorned with jewels and pearls, he wouldnât mind revealing his possession of a spatial spirit tool; ma duo bao definitely wouldnât think of the black tower that could form its own world.
on the way, they encountered several more robberies. ling han normally wouldnât kill, unless the other party had gone too far. for example, if others unleashed a fatal sneak attack, then he wouldnât mind killing the other party with one strike.
after half a day, they finally arrived at a large medicine garden.
