Chapter 197.2
“I’ve caught you two.”
After leaving Alliance City, Li Tianyan and the others had just travelled a short distance when they were surrounded and robbed by several cultivators in a deserted suburb.
Among the people, Cheng Qi saw Shen Laizi and the core formation thugs who had come to their alchemy shop to cause trouble. He hid nervously behind Li Tianyan. “What are you going to do?”
“Hand over your belongings obediently, and I will consider letting you live.” Lao Hei looked at the two of them with greedy eyes.
They had just spent a lot of money shopping in Alliance City, so they must be rich. After slaughtering these two fat sheep, they should be able to live happily for a while.
“Are you really going to let us go?” Cheng Qi asked suspiciously.
“What nonsense are you talking about? Catch these two people.” The other core formation cultivator couldn’t wait any longer. Before Lao Hei could speak, he took the lead and ordered a few of his younger brothers to take action.
Several gangsters with foundation-establishment cultivation immediately surrounded the two of them, but their faces were a little wary, as they were all on guard against the ghost they had contracted with.
Just before the group got close, a gust of wind suddenly blew up and swept several people away in an instant.
“Sure enough, their big backer showed up.” When Lao Hei saw the ghost appearing, he immediately took action along with the core formation cultivator he had brought with him. The two of them took out the soul-fixing nails and struck the female ghost in red.
“Urgent as a law, it is determined!”
One hundred and eight soul-fixing nails, painted with talismans, were all submerged into Tan Eyu’s body. Only a shrill scream was heard. Tan Eyu had been frozen in mid-air, and her limbs hung down helplessly.
“Why don’t you guys hurry up and catch them?” Lao Hei said to several foundation-establishment men as soon as he dealt with the core formation ghost spirit.
Several people got up from the ground. When they saw the unconscious ghost, they no longer had any worries. They took out the rope and walked toward the two of them.
“Boss, Brother Shan, you are so powerful. You subdued that ghost in two or three strokes.” When Shen Laizi saw that the magic weapon was working, he immediately smiled with a flattering look on his face.
“It’s just a ghost, I have never taken it seriously.” The core formation cultivator who was called Brother Shan said with an air of dignity.
“Two big brothers, can the younger alchemist be kept by me?” Shen Laizi rubbed his palms, asking them, but his smile was a bit lewd.
“What? So, you’re okay with this?” Lao Hei glanced at Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi, and found that the young boy had a good figure, but unfortunately, he was average in appearance. If he were a little beauty, he might have a taste of it.
“I heard that the two of them have that kind of relationship, so I wanted to try it when I saw them. What would it be like to play with this young boy.” Shen Laizi licked the corner of his mouth and spoke.
“Haha, good guy, with them, there will be enough money for me to drink. Okay, I’ll give it to you. When you’ve had enough fun, remember not to leave any one alive.” Lao Hei readily agreed this time.
Hearing the conversation between several people, Li Tianyan narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly had a fierce look, already harbouring murderous thoughts toward these people.
Seeing a gangster reaching out to grab Cheng Qi, Li Tianyan pulled him into his arms. A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the foundation-establishment gangster’s arm was cut off by the sword.
Before anyone else could react, a giant silver-white tiger beast suddenly appeared. As soon as the tiger king was released, it bit off the neck of a foundation-establishment cultivator.
“Tiger, Tiger King, run quickly.”
“It’s actually the Sky-Eating Tiger.”
“How could the Sky-Eating Tiger King appear here?” The expressions of the two core formation cultivators changed greatly when they saw the Sky-Eating Tiger King.
The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, rolling and crawling to escape. At this time, Tan Eyu, who was nailed in the air, suddenly opened her eyes and used her Yin Yuan Technique to force out the soul-fixing nails from her body.
“No, we fell into a trap.” Brother Shan finally understood when he saw the ghost escape easily.
When Li Tianyan saw someone take out a teleportation talisman and try to escape, he released flames and flew it toward the talisman in the man’s hand. The teleportation talisman was burned to the ground before he could activate it.
Brother Shan opened his eyes and found that he was still in the same place. He quickly used his escape technique to flee, but unfortunately, it was already a step too late.
Tan Eyu’s five claws with slender nails penetrated the core formation cultivator’s chest from the back. When she took her hand out of the other person’s body, a blood-red heart was still beating in her hand.
Brother Shan looked down at the hole in his chest in disbelief, then slowly turned his head and saw with his own eyes that his heart had been minced into pieces.
At the other end, the Sky-Eating Tiger, who was disliked by Li Tianyan, also showed off its beastly power, as if to prove its fighting power to Li Tianyan. It tore a foundation-establishment cultivator into several pieces with one blow of its sharp steel claws.
The bite force of the tiger’s mouth directly broke through the defence of a core formation cultivator. The thug named Lao Hei was caught in the mouth of the Sky-Eating Tiger King, thrown into the air, and then fell into the tiger’s mouth again.
The core formation cultivator was heard screaming repeatedly, but the Tiger King seemed to be teasing his prey and was in no rush to bite him to death.
Cheng Qi nestled in Li Tianyan’s arms, couldn’t help but be surprised at the scene in front of him. “Young master, are these two really core formation cultivators?”
Compared with the sect leaders and elders in Hengwu Continent, these two core formation thugs were like paper.
“Cultivation without cultivating the mind will lead to nothing,” Li Tianyan said to him.
The resources of Hengwu Continent were limited, and the cultivators who could form their core had been trained and tempered, so their character would naturally become more determined.
On the other hand, in a place like Infinite Island, although core formation cultivators were everywhere, the strength was uneven. A group of thugs like this group, who only knew how to bully the weak all year round, couldn’t be compared with real cultivators.
After Tan Eyu solved a core formation cultivator, she captured the remaining Shen Laizi.
“Spare my life, two alchemists, spare my life. I have realized my mistake. I will never dare to do it again. I was just obsessed for a moment. Don’t kill me.” Shen Laizi was so frightened that his feet were weak and he almost lost control. He knelt down, continuously begging for mercy on the ground.
“Oh, you will beg me to kill you in a moment,” Li Tianyan looked at him sideways and spoke.
As early as a few months ago, Li Tianyan had discovered someone squatting near his shop to monitor him. At that time, he guessed that it was Shen Laizi. Li Tianyan originally only planned to teach these people a lesson, but now he changed his mind.
