Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 39 Annihilation

"Third brother!" This sudden scene enraged Luo Da. He grabbed two large golden bronze hammers, leaped up, and smashed them down on Xiao Ming with all his might.

thump~

With a loud bang, a bronze shield appeared in front of Xiao Ming. He then patted his storage bag, and the Azure Rainbow Sword flew out, pointing directly at Luo Da's throat.

"Two magical artifacts." Luo Da was not angry but delighted. He knocked the Azure Rainbow Sword away with a hammer. His eyes were full of greed as he looked at Xiao Ming. This was still a fat sheep.

Although he wanted to skin the boy alive, he wasn't blinded by greed and anger. The boy in front of him had actually hidden his cultivation level, and only now could he tell that he was at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Such cultivation at such a young age, and such a good magical artifact, he must be from a noble family. If he were to escape, the consequences would be endless. Thinking of this, the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

"Second brother, stop hiding it, kill this man at all costs."

"I know even if you don't tell me." Luo Er immediately opened his spirit beast pouch and released three black poisonous insects the size of a human head. As he threw out a handful of mysterious powder, the three black poisonous insects immediately became ferocious and rushed towards Xiao Ming.

Under Xiao Ming's control, the Azure Rainbow Sword flew out again, stabbing at one of the black poisonous insects. However, the insect was harder than expected, and although it was pierced by the flying sword, it quickly got up from the ground again.

The three poisonous insects and the flying sword were locked in a fierce battle, and for a time it was difficult to determine a winner.

Luo Er laughed heartily, made a hand seal, and his magical power surged, condensing into several golden needles about a foot long around him.

Seeing that he was already struggling to make ends meet with the two people above him, Xiao Ming knew something was wrong and immediately took out several talismans from his storage bag.

As spiritual energy was injected, more than ten water arrows shot out at once, piercing through Luo Er's body.

"You're ruthless, kid." Luo Da was both shocked and furious.

He roared, channeling all his magical power, and swung his copper hammer, striking the bronze shield again and again. With each loud bang, the bronze shield could no longer withstand the blow and was sent flying by Luo Da's hammer.

"Give me your life!" Luo Da had already raised his bronze hammer high.

Just as Luo Da was about to fight desperately, a fireball suddenly slammed into his back.

The sudden attack caught him off guard, and he quickly deflected his copper hammer to block the fireball.

"It's you!" The attacker was Bai Changnian. Although he was trembling with fear, he was still casting spells.

Xiao Ming would not let such an obvious flaw slip by. The three poisonous insects not far away had already lost control and were flying around wildly. He manipulated his flying sword to turn around and descend, directly piercing Luo Da's chest.

Bai Changnian, who was casting a spell, became excited when he saw Luo Da die, and turned his gaze to the disheveled Luo Er.

This guy was good at dodging; he wasn't completely killed after a volley of water arrows, but he was seriously injured. Seeing that Luo Da was dead, he was horrified and immediately turned and fled.

However, before he could take more than a few steps, the surrounding tree roots and vines suddenly came over and bound Luo Er's legs.

Luo Er tried to struggle, but a flash of blue light sent his head flying off.

"They're all dead." Bai Changnian trembled with excitement. He immediately rushed to Luo Er's side, rummaged through his body, and quickly pulled out a small medicine bottle.

After opening the bottle and smelling it, Bai Changnian drank it down without hesitation. He then rolled on the ground in pain and vomited violently, spitting out a small black worm.

Upon seeing the small black insect, Bai Changnian collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been drained.

"Fellow Daoist Bai hasn't given me an explanation yet." Xiao Ming walked over, his Azure Rainbow Sword already pressed against Bai Changnian's throat.

"Fellow Daoist, spare my life! I am indeed from the Bai family of Qingzhuo Market. I lied to you earlier because I was forced to by these three villains. They killed two of my Bai family's employees. If I hadn't done that, I would probably be an unknown corpse now." Bai Changnian, who had just relaxed, was now on high alert again, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please spare my life. I am very familiar with Qingzhuo Market and can definitely help you."

"Why should I still believe you?" Xiao Ming said coldly.

"I swear an oath against my inner demons. If I ever harbor even the slightest thought of harming you, may I immediately perish and my soul be forever condemned to the deepest hell..." Bai Changnian immediately bit the tip of his tongue and began to swear an oath against his inner demons.

Seeing this person swear so readily, Xiao Ming was somewhat surprised; he was a man who could bend and stretch.

Even if they were forced, these three were brought here by the other party, so it can't be let go with just a few words.

"Fellow Daoist, as you saw, I used up all the talismans bestowed upon me by my elders just now to deal with these three villains you lured here. How are we going to settle this score?"

"This..." Bai Changnian's expression changed slightly.

The cheapest fireball talisman costs five spirit stones on the market. Considering how the other party had been throwing talismans around like they were free, Bai Changnian was immediately thrown into a state of panic.

Even if it were before, this would not have been a small sum of money, let alone the fact that he was also robbed by the three Luo brothers.

Sweat beaded on Bai Changnian's forehead. Although Xiao Ming showed no intention of making a move, he had no doubt that if he didn't do anything, the other party would at least ignore him, if not kill him.

He currently has no magical artifacts and his cultivation level is low. If he is abandoned, he might be eaten by a passing low-level demon beast.

"I will naturally repay Fellow Daoist Xiao for saving my life, but those three thieves have already robbed me of everything, and I am now penniless. However, I promise that as long as you escort me back to the market, I will reward you handsomely," Bai Changnian said earnestly.

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Ming hesitated slightly before nodding.

"Considering that Fellow Daoist Bai just helped me, I'll trust you one more time."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist." Bai Changnian bowed again, his face filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

Ignoring Bai Changnian, Xiao Ming looted the corpse of its spoils, then unleashed a fireball, burning the body to ashes.

"Fellow Daoist, you've had a good rest." After finishing these tasks, Xiao Ming turned to look at Bai Changnian, who was still in shock.

"I'm rested enough, I'll lead the way." Xiao Ming's voice wasn't loud, but Bai Changnian jumped up from the ground and strode ahead.

This time, the two moved much faster, and soon they passed through the misty forest and arrived at the confluence of the rivers.

"Fellow Daoist, are you trying to deceive me? There's no market or marketplace here at all." Xiao Ming frowned as he looked at the vast expanse of white river.

The other party had already fooled him once. If he dared to play tricks again, then he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless and sending this guy to join those three dead ghosts.

"Fellow Daoist, don't worry, how could I dare to lie to you?" Bai Changnian hurriedly ran to the water's edge, raised his hand, and released a fireball that exploded in the air.

Sure enough, a small boat rowed over from a distance a short while later.

"Are you two looking for a ferry?" The old man in a straw raincoat on the boat looked at the two of them. From the subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from him, it could be seen that the boatman was also a cultivator.

"Two spirit stones per person."

"Thank you for your help, boatman." Bai Changnian subconsciously reached for his storage bag.

However, the next moment, he stood there frozen, looking at Xiao Ming with an awkward expression, clearly indicating that all the spirit stones on his body had been looted.

Xiao Ming didn't say anything more, and threw four spirit stones at the old man.

The old man who accepted the spirit stone nodded and waved to the two of them.

"Then come on up."
