There must be someone with a treasure among these people who are holding a group. Wouldn't joining them be asking for trouble?
Therefore, Hou Jiuming politely declined the invitations of several people.
"Thank you for your interest. I always keep to myself. I'm not used to being with others, so I won't bother you much." After saying that, he walked away without waiting for anyone to persuade him.
By the time a few people came to their senses, Hou Jiuming had already walked a hundred meters in a hurry.
Looking at his retreating figure, several people's faces showed astonishment.
"This fellow Taoist is really a master of art and bold!"
"Tsk, I think you don't know whether to live or die."
"Don't say that, maybe he is really capable..."
Hou Jiuming didn't pay attention to the discussion behind him. He left Wushan and headed straight to the south.
This time, the place he is going to is a place called Huajiangfang City, which is located at the junction of three countries.
These three countries are Hanyue, Qianyu, and Fengming.
…………
About 10,000 meters away from Wushan Mountain, Hou Jiuming stopped and turned to look behind him.
"Fellow Taoists, you have been following us all this way for so long, can you please come out and meet us?"
Not long after leaving Wushan, Hou Jiuming discovered a tail following behind him, but he didn't make any announcement about it. He waited until he got here to reveal the whereabouts of these people.
"Haha, I didn't expect that you would discover it!
In this case, be wise and leave what you have on you."
Five men appeared a hundred meters away, approaching quickly as they spoke.
Among them, two are in the middle stage of Qi training and three are in the early stage of Qi training.
In the two middle stages of Qi training, one is practicing Qi at the fifth level, and the other is practicing at the sixth level.
Looking at these unkind people, Hou Jiuming narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Did you misunderstand? I didn't buy anything at the auction.
He didn't exchange his treasures for the foundation-building techniques, he just came here to gain knowledge, but he is actually a poor casual cultivator who can't even afford elixirs."
Hou Jiuming didn't want to cause trouble and start a fight with others.
After all, fighting is risky. If something goes wrong, your life may be decided here.
Therefore, he opened his mouth to explain, hoping that a few people would understand that he was a pauper, and then leave with disdain.
"What, you didn't buy anything?" The leader kept walking, with a look of disbelief on his face, and the middle-stage qi-training man next to him also said with an ugly face.
"You won't be so unlucky to meet a poor guy again!"
"His mother's..."
Several people were cursing, but their steps showed no sign of stopping. In the blink of an eye, there were only about ten meters left.
Seeing this, Hou Jiuming raised his eyebrows, knowing that the next battle was inevitable.
So, with a flick of his hand, a large number of low-grade talismans appeared, and without a word, they were infused with mana and thrown at the five people.
"Fuck~" The leaders immediately cursed when they saw the densely packed talismans. They thought their performance was flawless, and they thought of closing the distance and taking action directly.
Unexpectedly, before they could take action, the target launched an attack first.
Immediately, several people did not care about anything else and quickly used various means to resist or avoid the talisman.
But the distance was too far, and it became too hasty, so it was impossible to completely resist.
The two monks who were in the middle stage of Qi training were better, and each offered a defensive weapon, one was a brocade handkerchief, and the other was something like a turtle shell.
The other three were not so lucky in the early stages of Qi training.
Not only were they at a low level, they also didn't have any defensive weapons on them. They could only watch as countless fireballs, ice picks, and wooden thorns fell on them.
"Boss, help..."
"Hide quickly..."
In the horrified eyes of several people, the more than a hundred talismans shrouded the five people without any omission.
As soon as he took a step during the three Qi refining periods, he was swallowed up by the spell and turned into ashes in an instant.
The two middle stages of Qi training are also not easy.
The protection on his body first shook violently and then burst apart under the influence of more than a hundred spells.
Facing the densely packed spells, both of them had a look of fear in their eyes.
What made them even more desperate was that a magical weapon and a pale white sword energy followed closely behind the talisman.
It turned out that Hou Jiuming was still worried after throwing out the talisman. While sacrificing the magic weapon, he used his sword to slash out a stream of innate sword energy.
Two attacks followed closely behind the talisman.
"Boom~puff~"
There were too many attacks, and the two of them could not completely resist them, and could only watch helplessly as they were hit by spells.
Fireballs, ice picks, and wooden thorns pierced through their bodies in just an instant.
This wasn't the end yet, the magical weapon followed closely and directly penetrated the head of one of the men who was in the middle of Qi training, killing the man who was still lingering in an instant.
The other sword energy was no less impressive, following closely behind the talisman, it invited another mid-stage Qi practitioner to fight.
"Boom~" Smoke and dust were everywhere, and more than a hundred talismans gathered together. The power caused was far beyond Hou Jiuming's imagination. Even with his current cultivation level, he went all out.
It is also difficult to create such power.
No, don’t even think about breaking through to the later stage of Qi training.
This level can only be achieved by at least perfecting your Qi practice.
I saw the powerful magic impact forming a circle and spreading in all directions, destroying all the surrounding vegetation.
It was not until Hou Jiuming was in front of him that he could not stop.
He squinted his eyes slightly to prevent dust from entering his eyes, and focused all his attention on the place where the spell broke out to see if anyone survived.
No one could breathe, the dust gradually fell, and the scene inside was revealed.
I saw a large pit with a diameter of more than two meters, surrounded by broken arms and little blood stains.
Of the five people, not one of them was alive.
Seeing the five people being executed, Hou Jiuming hurriedly stepped forward to search, hoping to find something.
The hard work paid off, as soon as I got closer, I found a dusty bag.
"Hey, I didn't expect such a harvest." Shake off the dust on the bag, put it in your arms, and continue searching.
But then I wasn't so lucky. Apart from a few fragments of magical artifacts, I found nothing.
Seeing this, Hou Jiuming stopped staying. After observing the surrounding situation and finding that there were no hidden dangers, he ran towards the south.
…………
Fallen leaves are blown by the wind, and autumn grass is swaying.
After Hou Jiuming left for almost a stick of incense.
Near the big pit, people arrived one after another.
When they saw the wreckage and potholes on the ground, everyone except one took a deep breath.
"Hey, what happened here? Why is there such a big movement?"
"Judging from the surrounding situation, it seems that one of the comrades took action and then kicked the iron plate."
"My dear, is such a big fluctuation in mana caused by the perfection of Qi training?"
"Probably!"
"This is really unlucky, they can encounter this."
"Let's be careful too!"
"Be careful, I've made enough. I'll see you later..."
