Chapter 2315 - 2271: Giving a Chance

Chapter 2315: Chapter 2271: Giving a Chance

"Check the situation, don’t act rashly," Chen Yang reminded Tu Qi, then looked ahead.

He saw thirty people surrounding their caravan, and a scar-faced man with a nine-ring broadsword stepped forward with a cold smile.

"Heh, our guys have been squatting here for three days and nights, and finally caught a fat sheep. The effort these past few days wasn’t in vain," Scarface laughed.

"Haha, isn’t that right, big bro. You’re the best, knowing someone would pass through here."

"Big bro, with so many resources, we can comfortably cultivate for a while."

...

The group of bandits was extremely excited.

From their words, it was not difficult to tell they had been ambushing here for a long time.

And hearing their words, the boss and the head guard’s already gloomy faces turned even more grim.

Because if the bandits could wait so long, it meant today’s matter wouldn’t be easily resolved.

However, the head guard still clung to a hope, stepping forward to negotiate, hoping to avert a bigger loss with a small one.

"Fellow Daoist, our caravan passing through has disturbed you. Here are three hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones for you and your brothers to have tea. How about letting us pass? We’ll give another thank-you when we return after selling off the goods," the head guard said politely with cupped fists.

But who would have thought, Scarface didn’t buy it at all: "Heh, what do you mean by this? We have so many brothers waiting for three days and nights, and you want to brush us off with three hundred Spirit Stones?"

Scarface didn’t even glance at the Storage Silk Pouch in the head guard’s hand, completely dismissing it.

The head guard, upon hearing this, looked rather troubled towards the boss.

Because these bandits not only had numbers but also strong strength, not to mention anything else.

Just Scarface alone had Late-stage Condensation strength.

The strongest on their side was the head guard, who was only at Mid-stage Condensation, how could they easily stand up to this?

The caravan boss clearly felt this point as well, and after noticing the head guard’s look, he immediately pulled out another Storage Silk Pouch, and said: "Fellow Daoist, here are a total of a thousand Spirit Stones. Please, be lenient and let us pass. It’s hard selling resources."

The boss wore a smile full of compensation.

A thousand Spirit Stones were already cutting flesh, a considerable fortune.

But Scarface still showed no intention of relaxing his stance.

"Heh, you’re really confused. Do you really think we’re so easily brushed off with some items?" Scarface laughed, directly pointing the nine-ring broadsword at the boss, saying, "I’ll tell you the truth, we have our eyes on all your things."

"Leave all your cultivation resources and the goods on the carts, then scram, or I’ll make sure you all stay here."

Scarface’s voice suddenly rose, and the powerful aura of a Late-stage Condensation cultivator rippled out, quite intimidating.

The caravan boss, only with Early-stage Condensation cultivation, couldn’t resist this powerful aura.

He was so frightened that he retreated two or three steps.

The head guard barely managed to withstand it, but felt a lot of pressure.

After all, the opponent was stronger by a small realm.

"Fellow Daoist, to forgive when possible, although you have more numbers, can you guarantee that you can take us all out unscathed?" the head guard gritted his teeth and said.

"I can’t guarantee, but so what? Who’s afraid of death when out walking? Brothers, are you afraid?" Scarface asked loudly.

"Not afraid!"

"Rob, rob, rob!"

...

A group of desperados was not intimidated by the head guard’s threat, determined to seize all resources.

Faced with such a situation, even the head guard couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat, becoming nervous.

After all, the other side had more than twice their numbers, and Scarface’s cultivation was higher than theirs.

If a fight broke out, surely they would all die here.

But they wouldn’t just sit and wait for death either.

"If that’s the case, then try it. We might as well break the net. If you rob our things, don’t think you’ll have it easy either," the head guard shouted in anger, pulling out his own weapons from his space.

Two bronze hammers.

The others, seeing this, also drew their weapons, ready to fight desperately.

Prepared to risk their lives against the bandits.

"Haha, good, good, you have guts," Scarface laughed when he saw this scene.

"And don’t say I’m unreasonable, to avoid unnecessary casualties among my brothers, I’ll give you a chance."

Earlier, Scarface had been very hard-edged, but upon realizing they weren’t backing down, his attitude suddenly softened a bit.

"A chance? What chance?"

The head guard looked at him puzzled.

"You pick three people to challenge me. If one wins, I’ll take the thousand Spirit Stones and leave."

"If all three of you lose, leave the stuff, and you can go, how about it?" Scarface said with a smile.

The head guard didn’t make the decision, but looked towards the boss, leaving the decision to him.

The boss looked very conflicted.

If a fight broke out, how could they win?

Only by accepting Scarface’s proposal might they have a sliver of hope...

After all, the head guard and Scarface were only separated by a small realm anyway.

If the first two people could exhaust part of his spiritual energy, or maybe injure Scarface slightly, there might still be a chance.

Thinking of this, the boss directly agreed.

This was the only way out.

"Fine, as you say, but let’s make it clear, if you lose, you must let us go," the boss said.

Scarface smiled and said, "Don’t worry, even as a bandit, I keep my word, I won’t go back on it."

"Alright." The boss gritted his teeth, and then looked towards his team.

"Who dares take the first fight, no matter the result, will receive a hundred Spirit Stones as a reward."

Nobody dared step forward at first until they heard about the hundred Spirit Stones, and some began to feel tempted.

After all, whether they won or lost, even if defeated, they’d receive Spirit Stones.

Naturally, they were very enthusiastic.

"I’ll do it."

Someone stepped out.

His name was Huang Ping, with cultivation close to Mid-stage Condensation, considered upper-middle level among them.

"Alright, Brother Huang, we’re counting on you."

The boss didn’t hesitate, directly throwing out a hundred Spirit Stones.

Huang Ping took the Spirit Stones and strode out, stopping four meters from Scarface.

"Huang Ping, at your service!"

Huang Ping shouted low, and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly surged.

As his spiritual energy circulated, his originally normal-looking body suddenly swelled.

He became very strong.

The clothes on his body were forcibly ripped by his swollen muscles.

Qi Gathering Technique!

Huang Ping’s signature cultivation technique.

Facing such a strong enemy as Scarface, he dared not hold back at all, thus unleashing his full fighting strength from the start.

As Scarface watched the aura-condensed Huang Ping, he not only showed no regard, but also laughed mockingly.

"Wow, your muscles are blown up so big? You must have great strength, huh? I wonder if you can withstand my strike," Scarface rested his sword on his shoulder.

Huang Ping, hearing this, immediately became angry too.
