Such was the incident that brought Yuan Liong to this point.
Remembering all those events, the suffering while meditating and struggling hard against the energy absorption cultivation in the lightning element felt lighter.
The desire to retaliate inspired Yuan Liong to practice more diligently and never give up.
***
The wine shop in Xia Yu City is very famous and has many visitors. Every tourist always relieves tiredness and thirst at that stall. In addition to selling alcohol, the stall also provides accommodation and entertainment.
A beautiful girl, in a blush red suit, walked into the shop. The girl was very beautiful, with skin color as white as snow, a face like a moon, the curve of a pointed nose completed with clear eyes like the eastern star.
From the dress and facial expression of this girl, she is effective as an aristocrat, she has sharp and arrogant eyes. Her arrogance is not arrogant, but more domineering.
The girl paused, glancing to the right and to the left. Smiling a little, she found a place that suits her taste. She walked to the right corner, then choose a seat on an empty chair and table near the window.
“Uncle waiter! Bring the best wine, and the best food you have.” Murong Qiu randomly ordered food and drink while waving at the waiter.
Murong Qiu is the daughter of the owner of the city. Her friendly personality covers her haughty face, so people know her very well.
From a young age, she has started to practice as well as follow the path of a cultivator, this girl is indeed talented and intelligent supported by abundant resources. Now she has successfully trained up to the cultivation level, Early Stage Earth Realm.
It is already common knowledge that martial artists will succeed in taking big steps when supported by qualified talent, resources, and good artifacts/weapons.
“Miss's order is ready.” The waiter came awkwardly, carrying the lady's order, bowed respectfully, and withdrew.
“Thank you!” said Miss Murong, with a small smile. Ignoring all the visitors to the stall, Murong Qiu began to enjoy her meal.
A few breaths later ... two male guests entered the shop. Their romance is fierce and cruel, with sideburns that merge with thick beards, big noses, and eyes that highlight cruelty.
The one walking in front, looking like a leader, with a large mark on his right cheek added a little ferocity. Following behind, more like a large Kingkong, the mouth is inflated, and the jaw teeth are slightly forward and covered with whiskers and beard.
They both wore dark purple suits with a small skull symbol on the chest. Each of them hung swords on their waists without concealing them, their slightly tattered clothes indicating that they had just traveled a long way.
Both of their eyes shone when they saw Murong Qiu sitting alone in the right corner of the stall. The two looked at each other, grinning devilishly as if their hearts had agreed.
With mischievous looks, while laughing, the two walked to Murong Qiu's table.
A harsh and hoarse voice was heard. “Beautiful lady! ... Let us accompany you to eat and drink, we guarantee we can satisfy you,” said the Big Kingkong, laughing out loud.
Murong Qiu, who was enjoying her meal, raised her face. She said, “Strange, this stall is usually clean, I don't know which flies were blown by the wind today, making me not in the mood to continue eating.” She immediately stopped eating and drinking.
The two immigrants were very angry and impulsive, they were used to being cruel and arbitrary. One of them who was really angry immediately hit the table hard. The food on the table was scattered, some on the clothes of the girl.
The visitors of the stall who saw the conflict rushed out and left the stall, not wanting to get involved in a dispute between the three. In an instant, the stall became deserted and only a few visitors remained.
In the far left corner, sat calmly a young man in a simple white suit who was still enjoying his food heartily.
Two tables in front of him sat an old man in a blue suit covered with a purple robe. With the grandfather, there also sat a little girl dressed in red. At a glance, everyone will know that it is a grandfather with his grandson. Both of them were enjoying themselves, and also seemed indifferent to the dispute.
In the far corner near the cashier desk, sat facing two middle-aged men who looked dashing. Both wore simple, sleeveless clothes typical of hunters. They sat while knocking on the table, occasionally glancing towards the girl who was arguing with the two violent immigrants.
The smile on Murong Qiu's face disappeared, and her face turned red with anger. Displaying high self-confidence, she nonchalantly said, “A fly that does not know the height of a mountain, stop before you regret it.”
Hearing those words, the Big Kingkong, who really couldn't control his emotions, immediately attacked Murong Qiu, he didn't use his inner energy. The blow was more like a mockery and was also afraid of damaging the delicate skin of the girl.
Murong Qiu really doesn't like to show mercy to people who have no problem finding things with her for no reason. Retaliating hard, half of the inner energy was released.
The Big Kingkong who realized that regretted not using his inner energy, but it was too late. “Baaaam! Bruuuuk!” The sound of the collision also breaking the chair and table was heard.
He was thrown backward, smashing the table and chair behind him. Blood dripped from the corner of the man's lips because he was hit by a deep energy impact and also without protection, thus damaging his internal organs.
The owner of the stall, who had been shaking since earlier, said in his heart, “Big loss today.”
The coded leader frowned, black-faced, anger could not be contained anymore, angry at the carelessness of his followers, angry because his followers fell in one blow.
They are both famous for a pair of Skull Demons. Every opponent they hit shrinks, leaving only bones and skulls.
All this time they have never met an opponent stronger than them, the reason is simple both of them are not ashamed to mob every opponent.
Moreover, with the cultivation level of the Intermediate Level Earth Realm, their actions became more and more common. In Xia Yu City, in particular, it was very rare to find a cultivator who had successfully promoted to the Sky Realm.
Cultivators who managed to reach the Cultivation level of the Peak Level Earth Realm can be counted on the fingers, one of whom is the father of Murong Qiu or the City Ruler, Murong Sun.
In his anger, the leader threw a healing pill at the Big Kingkong, then he stared at Murong Qiu while saying, “Damn girl! Get ready to blow! ....”
He took out his sword and directly stabbed Murong Qiu's stomach, a stab that was vicious and violent. The intention is to make the opponent helpless with one stab.
Murong Qiu who had prepared from the beginning immediately flinched and parried with her sword. This girl, in addition to having cultivated the Early Stage Earth Realm, also managed to convince the Sword of Dew Rain.
When she parried, she immediately responded with stabs towards the seven deadly points, the stabs made the bandit leader overwhelmed to parry.
He concentrated his inner energy, and with one swing he managed to repel all the stabs from Murong Qiu. More fighting experience, and one level of superior inner energy, benefited the bandit leader.
The fight continued for a quarter of an hour. Beads of sweat were already dripping on Murong Qiu's forehead, her breathing was still regular, and so was his opponent.
The Big Kingkong, who has started to recover, is getting ready to join the g**g. They are not shy, anything will be done as long as they win.
The two men dressed as hunters who have been watching the fight since earlier will jump into the fight if the Big Kingkong dares to attack. They are none other than the city guards who deliberately dress informally.
The Lord of the City loved his little daughter so much that he secretly sent guards without the girl knowing. These guards were very strong, their cultivation was the same level as the girl.
Before the Big Kingkong and the city guards jumped in, two pieces of chicken bone slid fast and knocked right in the middle of Murong Qiu's and Bandit leader swords. This means the energy in the thrower has reached its peak.
For a moment, the fight stopped, and both of them turned their faces towards the slide of chicken bones. Murong Qiu just remained silent and showed a frown on his forehead that brought his eyebrows together.
Bandit leader's angry face shouted, “Boy! Do you have nine lives? How dare you disturb my pleasure!”
All the stall visitors who have not left also turn their faces towards the left corner of the stall.
