Chapter 676: Are They Human?

Two kilometers away from them, Jie Walie, who brought his two trusted men and hid behind a mountain boulder, observed the scene midair in the distance through binoculars. He could clearly watch the scene of the intense and bitter fight between Daoist Qiankun and Old Blind. Experienced and knowledgeable he may be, yet the scene was so daunting that he was frightened.

Are they still human? Or some supernatural beings?

Jie Walie used to disdain the idea of Gods, ghosts and the likes away from his mind. But that intense combat scene midair was akin to a combat between celestial beings. It made him have no choice but to believe that there really was something in the world he did not understand.

At this moment, he finally understood why Tang Xiu asked him to hurriedly rush over to this place to notify his men, and even told him it was likely that he would have a hairbreadth escape situation. That was because what he must face was not ordinary people! Those people, each and every one of them could claim his life with a flick of their fingers.

“What’s the situation, Brother Jie?” His two men did not bring binoculars, so they were naturally unable to see the intense combat a while ago. One of them stared at Jie Walie’s palpitating expression and asked with a curious face.

Jie Walie turned his head with difficulty to look at his curious face and then replied bitterly, “I’m afraid we’re of no use at all. Even if we go there, there won’t be anything we can do and will only meet our death.”

“So, what are we gonna do?” Asked the man quickly.

Jie Walie fell silent for a moment and then whispered, “We’ll wait here. Since Tang Xiu asked us to come to notice them in advance, it means that he will come over as well. Everything is to be put on hold, and then we’ll discuss this again after he arrives.”

Outside the cave.

Daoist Qiankun was holding Jin Sijie’s arm as he quickly checked his injury after putting him on the ground. He did not go after Old Blind because the ultimate trump card he blustered out was just a bluff. He had been injured, and it was a very serious injury at that. Although he was confident that it was not as serious as Old Blind’s, yet he would only stimulate that old woman to stake everything with her life on the line if he kept pursuing, and he might also perish with her.

He did not want to die yet! Especially after finding out that there was an Immortal Trove in this place. He wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage, continuing his lifespan for a few hundred years more.

“We need to recuperate.”

There was blood gushing out in his throat, but Daoist Qiankun forced it back inside. After he took Jin Sijie and carried him on his back, he shouted in a hoarse voice.

Jin Sijie’s internal organs were in a mess after Old Blind sneak-attacked him with the Buddhist bead. He was now in a crisis, and his life would probably be in danger if he did not have a timely treatment. Luckily, Tang Xiu gave him a Holy Healing medicine, and its efficacy had yet to be fully absorbed.

After sitting cross-legged on the ground, he did not hurry to cultivate but rather spoke in a hushed breath, “Master, those four bastards… their swords are definitely not magic weapons. I suspect that they are spirit weapons. Else, with their Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, it would be impossible to severely injure me even if they did employ a sword formation.”

Spirit weapons?

A greedy light flashed in Daoist Qiankun’s eyes. But then he suddenly realized something and his expression turned nasty. If Tang Xiu’s men possessed spirit weapons, then what rank could his weapon be, considering that his status was even higher?

Immediately, he grabbed Jin Sijie’s arm again and shouted in a deep voice, “Don’t cultivate here, let’s leave this place immediately! We don’t know when that surnamed Tang punk will be back here. Let’s find a safe place first and then heal ourselves.”

In the next morning.

Tang Xiu led Mo Awu and five other experts out of the Kanas Airport exit. Ridden with worries inside, Tang Xiu did not catch a taxi but quickly asked around where the unlicensed taxis usually hung around.

“Hey, Buddy. Do you need a ride?”

More than a dozen unlicensed taxis were parked on the roadside. Some of the drivers wore bearded faces, and among a group of fierce-looking middle-aged men, one of them came to greet them.

“I need two cars. But I’m going to buy them. Name your price,” said Tang Xiu in a deep voice.

The more than ten bearded middle-aged men exchanged looks in wonderment. It was a situation they had never encountered in their many years of the unlicensed taxi business. The full-bearded middle-aged man who just greeted them hesitated before he stretched out a finger and said, “100 thousand. I’ll sell this van to you.”

Tang Xiu had planned to buy cars for temporary use after he got off the plane, and even had stuffed hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash into his travel bag from the stash inside his interspatial ring. The bag was now carried by Mo Awu, and after he heard the price quoted by the middle-aged man, Tang Xiu then nodded to Mo Awu.

Mo Awu opened the travel bag’s zipper and took out ten stacks of 100 yuan bills from it, a total of 100 thousand yuan, and then handed it over to the middle-aged bearded man.

“Key!”

The pupils of the middle-aged bearded man contracted, and the other unlicensed taxi drivers looked shocked. The way they looked at Tang Xiu’s group was now different than before at this moment. If it was not for the fact that Tang Xiu’s group consisted of six men and did not look like they were ordinary people, they would have tried to rob them.

“It’s yours!”
