The bowl that Chu Ye put to his mouth stopped, and he cast his gaze towards the place where the sound came from. He saw a dozen tall horses running toward the center of the street in billows of smoke.
It takes no effort to get there even if you wear iron shoes.
Chu Ye raised the corner of his mouth, ate the last steamed bun and a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and after paying the money, he walked straight towards the horse team.
At this time, the people setting up stalls on both sides of the street looked terrified, as if the name of the Black-hearted Predator frightened them all.
"ah!"
A scream came out, and a hawker was stabbed in the back of the heart with a steel knife. Dark red blood flowed all over the floor. It seemed that he would not survive. It turned out that he wanted to pack up his stall and escape, but was killed.
A bully found out and was killed directly.
Really cruel!
Chu Ye frowned slightly. These people are the ones who truly kill without blinking an eye. Human life is worthless in their eyes. But this is also the rule of Blackwood City, but the law of the jungle is more obvious here.
A big man who seemed to be the leader said loudly: "I'll give you a cup of tea, please hand over your monthly payment quickly, and don't think about running away, otherwise you will end up like this person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen steel knives were revealed one after another, with a cold light and a smell of blood filling the air.
Not long after, representatives from every household sent out representatives, holding pieces of dark green crystals in their hands, which were black crystals. One black crystal is equal to one hundred black stones, and can be exchanged for the same amount at any chamber of commerce in Jianzun Continent.
Soon, the leader of the horse thieves had collected a cart full of ink crystals. Chu Ye roughly estimated that there were at least three to four hundred yuan, that is, 30,000 to 40,000 ink crystals.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder desperadoes like to come to Blackwood City. They make money so fast." Chu Ye smacked his lips. His eyes were not on the bullies with knives, but on the small cart of black crystals.
.
Since it is ill-gotten wealth, it can be taken by anyone who takes it. Chu Ye is not a feudal and rigid person. As long as he is not robbing ordinary people's money, he will not refuse the wealth in front of him.
You can only earn 100,000 by killing Sun Qian, and you have to risk your life. Since the money is given to Sun Qian, it shouldn't be free of charge. Chu Ye will also be happy to make some extra money.
Just as Chu Ye was thinking about it, the leader of the horse thieves fell on Chu Ye and pointed the long knife at the tip of Chu Ye's nose: "Why are you waiting there if you don't pay the money quickly?"
Chu Ye chuckled, "I'm not from Blackwood City, I just came here to find someone."
"I don't care where you are from. Since I saw you when I was collecting the monthly payment, you have to pay! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave here alive." The leader's tone was cold, and the steel knife in his hand gave off bursts of cold air.
What a shameless person!
Chu Ye sneered in his heart, but said, "Why don't you ask who the person I'm looking for is?"
The leader was a little impatient; "I hate grinders the most. If you don't want to pay, just hand over your life. I won't have to argue with you. I'll get it myself after you die!"
After saying that, the leader pulled the reins, the big horse roared towards Chu Ye, and the shining steel knife rushed towards Chu Ye's neck.
The strength of the horse thief leader is around the Eighth Transformation of Sword Soul. He can fight one against a hundred against ordinary people, but to Chu Ye, he is just a joke.
Chu Ye didn't even try to hide. When the horse was about to run in front of him, Chu Ye flew up with a strong kick and kicked the horse firmly on the belly. The powerful and heavy kick directly kicked the horse and the people away.
Five meters away, the big man on the horse screamed and fell off the horse.
Immediately, Chu Ye's figure rushed to the big man like a ghost, and without saying a word, he kicked him in the chest again. Although he only used three-thirds of the force, it was not something that the horse thief leader could bear. All he could hear was the sound of bones breaking.
It was rumored that Chu Ye's kick broke at least three or four of his ribs.
"Ah, what the hell are you doing, stop!"
The pig-like screams were heard, and the big man's previous arrogance faded away, replaced by pain and fear.
Chu Ye gave him a cold look: "Don't you want to collect money? Don't you want to kill me?"
With that said, Chu Ye stamped down again, directly breaking all the remaining ribs. The big man's chest was completely sunken, as soft as dead flesh.
Chu Ye would never be lenient in dealing with such people. Moreover, there were more than a dozen horse thieves opposite him. If he didn't kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, he would still have to work hard.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me? You have suffered enough!" The big man wailed and said harsh words to others.
Chu Ye sneered, and the jade sword came out of his hand. A cold light flashed from the tip of the sword, and it stabbed straight into the big man's eyes.
Perhaps because he saw that Chu Ye was very fierce in his attack, the big man hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop! I won't say it anymore, why don't I stop talking? Who the hell are you!"
Those who are shameless are afraid of those who don’t want money, and those who don’t want money are afraid of those who don’t want their lives. Chu Ye is more ruthless than him, which will naturally make him afraid. Hearing this, Chu Ye sneered twice;
."
After kicking the big man, Chu Ye knelt down and patted the big man's mouth: "Let me ask you, where is the black-hearted predator Sun Qian now?"
Hearing this, the big man's eyes lit up: "What are you doing with Mr. Sun Qian?"
Snap!
Chu Ye waved his hand and slapped the big man on the face; "What did I ask you? What did you say? If it's something that has nothing to do with my question, if you ask me more, I'll slap you. Do you understand?"
The big man trembled all over, his eyes flashed with fear, and he nodded subconsciously: "I understand... I understand."
Chu Ye nodded with satisfaction; "Sun Qian, where are you now?"
"In...in Black Flame Mountain." The big man said tremblingly.
"Where is Black Flame Mountain?"
"Eight hundred miles away from here is the territory occupied by Lord Sun Qian."
eight hundred miles
Chu Ye estimated that if he hurried now, he would arrive at almost noon, and then asked, "Who is around Sun Qian?"
"This..." The big man looked hesitant.
Snap!
Without hesitation, he slapped you again, and Chu Ye's voice was as cold as ice: "My patience is limited. If it happens again, I will kill you with one sword."
The big man remained silent and nodded like a fool; "Yes, yes, I understand. Mr. Sun Qian is surrounded by two guardians, twenty plunderers, ten maids responsible for taking care of his daily life, seven lovers, nine..."
Chu Ye interrupted him. He was too lazy to know about his lover's maid, and then asked, "How strong is Sun Qian, as well as the two guardians and twenty plundering troops."
The big man thought for a while and said, "Master Sun Qian is very strong, but we don't know how strong he is. I heard that he has reached the fifth transformation of Sword Madness, and the two guardians have both reached the third transformation of Sword Madness. As for the twenty plundering troops,
The strength of this group of people is about the same as ours, and they are all around the eighth or ninth level of the Sword Soul."
The five changes of Sword Madness?
Chu Ye secretly speculated that with his current strength and the Chixiao Sword, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with Sun Qian. As for the two guardians of the third sword madness transformation, as long as they are dealt with before fighting Sun Qian, they will not be allowed to fight.
Just add chaos to the key battles. As for the plundering army in the Sword Soul Realm, Chu Ye didn't take it seriously.
After thinking about it, Chu Ye grabbed the big man's collar and said, "Do you have any tokens that can prove that you are Sun Qian's subordinates?"
"Yes." The big man nodded.
"Give me."
"Ah? This...if I give you the token, I won't be able to return to Black Flame Mountain in the future."
A trace of impatience flashed across Chu Ye's face, and the jade sword was unsheathed again. However, this time before Chu Ye could make any move, the big man howled, "Stop, stop, stop, I'll give it to you, why don't I give it to you!"
Chu Ye laughed secretly, this man is really a softie, he peed his pants just by scaring someone.
The big man touched his body twice and finally took out a black iron token with a flame-shaped rune engraved on it.
Chu Ye took it, weighed it in his hands, and said with a smile, "Very good."
"Sir, I've done everything you asked me to do, but don't kill me!" The big man knelt in front of Chu Ye, his nose bursting with tears.
Chu Ye gave him a look of disgust, "Killing you will dirty my hands, take your people and get out."
"Yes, yes! I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to get out of here!"
Saying "Go away" made the man feel like he had received amnesty. He quickly ran back to his horse team, kicked a famous horse thief off his horse, jumped on the horse and left the place quickly.
"etc!"
Chu Ye suddenly spoke up and smiled strangely, "Keep that cart of black crystals."
The big man hesitated for a moment, but then he quickly followed the instructions, leaving the cart filled with three to four hundred pieces of black crystals, and left quickly with the others, fearing that Chu Ye would change his mind and leave them too.
The leader of the horse thieves did not have the token, and Chu Ye was not afraid that he would return to Black Flame Mountain to notify Sun Qian in advance. He put the token into his arms, and Chu Ye put the black crystals into his pocket with a cheerful expression.
What Chu Ye needs most right now is money, and these 30,000 to 40,000 ink stones will be very useful to him.
Eight hundred miles, at Chu Ye's speed, he arrived at almost noon. The city of Blackwood City is very small, only five or six hundred miles away, but the three thousand miles outside the city gate are almost all Blackwood City.
The territory. Every hilltop was occupied by the strong men of Blackwood City and became the base camp.
At this time, Chu Ye had stopped. Opposite him, a 300-meter-high black mountain appeared in front of him. There were traces of gray smoke rising from the top of the mountain. There were fires coming out from the top of the mountain from time to time. It should be a volcano.
"This is it."
Chu Ye took out the Black Flame Token and walked straight towards the top of the mountain.
Along the way, there were many men in black stationed in various places in Black Flame Mountain. They all looked suspicious when they saw Chu Ye, but when Chu Ye took out the token, all of them looked at him respectfully.
He nodded and let him go.
The journey was smooth and Chu Ye came directly to the top of Black Flame Mountain.
On the top of the mountain, a palace that is not too big looks like a beast entrenched. The four bright red characters of Black Flame Hall are particularly conspicuous, as if they were dyed with blood.
At the entrance of the main hall, twenty big men in heavy armor lined up in two rows, all holding extremely sharp Yanyue knives in their hands.
These people should be the plundering army.
Although the plundering army in the Sword Soul Realm poses no threat to Chu Ye, if they attack in groups, Chu Ye will have to be careful and take precautions. Dealing with them in advance can save some trouble.
"It's a pity that you voted for the wrong club. You can only blame yourself for your bad luck."
Chu Ye licked his lips, and the jade sword slowly unsheathed, followed by a cold glow.
