"Kid... you know about cultivators too?" the man in the middle said darkly.
"Of course, I've cultivated for so long to achieve my current level. The one on the ground is a high-rank cultivator who I killed... Get lost before I lose my patience! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing three more."
Fang Yu didn't want to cause trouble.
The main issue was that after killing Gongsun Yang, his spiritual energy was nearly depleted. He spent some time healing his internal injury, and now he barely had any spiritual energy left.
Moreover.
Fang Yu couldn't gauge their strength.
The three of them burst into laughter.
One of them took a picture of Fang Yu with his phone and said into it, "Brothers, we found a big catch, coming to bring it to you soon!"
Putting the phone away.
The man in the middle said coldly, "Who are you trying to scare? Do you think we three are like those ancient geezers? Stop gathering spiritual energy immediately! If you try to gather it again, I'll kill you!"
Boom!
The man stomped his foot.
Aura rippled out!
Fang Yu was taken aback; that stomp at least had the Constant Sand Realm of a Saint!
How... is this possible?
Where did it go wrong?
Fang Yu furrowed his brow, contemplating. With the spiritual energy he had recovered, dealing with three cultivators of the Light King realm was tough.
Just then.
Bam!
A bullet flew over.
Fang Yu swiftly dodged to the side.
The bullet left a dark, smoking hole in the ground.
Sniper!
Fang Yu immediately scanned the surroundings.
He couldn't see anyone hidden in his line of sight.
It was clear the sniper was at a great distance... at least a thousand meters away.
"I told you, stop gathering spiritual energy! Do you believe that if you move again, the bullet will go straight into your head?" the man said coldly.
Fang Yu nodded, spread his hands, and said, "Alright, you win... tell me, what do you want?"
"Hand over everything of value on you! Whether it's elixir pills or weapons!" the middleman demanded.
"I can comply with that. But I'm a cultivator; unless you show some strength, I'm not afraid of you... otherwise, how would I hand over the treasure?" Fang Yu squinted and said.
Since they were all modern people, the communication was quite smooth.
It's like a mugging. Without strength, what can you rob?
The current urban civilization is completely different from before; one can only rely on oneself.
Of course, not everywhere is prone to robbery.
After all, everyone can absorb spiritual energy; no one knows each other's abilities, and you might end up losing out!
The streets don't have as many pedestrians as they used to.
Generally, people prefer not to go out.
The entire Jiangzhou has formed a tightly-knit environment.
The three people trying to rob Fang Yu were clearly part of their own circle and had substantial strength. But... why were their cultivations so high?
Upon hearing Fang Yu's question.
The man in the middle sneered, "So you understand... seeing the destruction in this area, it's clear your level isn't low either. We're all from modern times, let's not beat around the bush. Did you also enter a secret realm?"
Fang Yu suddenly realized.
These three must have entered some accelerated secret realm, cultivating continuously to reach their current stage.
No wonder!
As for how they obtained cultivation methods and combat skills, it was unknown.
"Yes!" Fang Yu replied.
"Brother, it seems we're kindred spirits; you rob from those ancient monsters too..."
One of them went over to Gongsun Yang's corpse and searched carefully.
"Boss, hit the jackpot! Look at this..."
The man grabbed a bunch of elixir pills and a dagger weapon!
Fang Yu glanced over and was surprised. Those elixir pills were clearly of Eighth Grade or above.
"Not bad, not bad... Kid, we also gained our current strength by entering the secret realm. Given how sensible you are, and as fellow modern people, we won't kill you, just hand over everything!" the middle-aged man said.
"Honestly... I only have a gemstone on me. Nothing else," Fang Yu said sincerely.
"A gemstone? What gemstone?" the middle-aged man's eyes twitched.
"Take it out!"
The person beside him demanded.
Fang Yu obediently took out the so-called gemstone from his bosom.
The three stared at the gemstone, taken aback.
It was black and no different from a stone picked up from the ground.
The middle-aged man's eyes turned sinister immediately, "You're playing with me?"
"Why would I play with you? Look closely!" Fang Yu handed the gemstone over.
The middle-aged man, half doubting, took the stone.
After examining it for a while, he saw nothing special.
His anger flared up.
"Courting death! Kill him!"
Someone rushed over.
Simultaneously, the middle-aged man angrily smashed the gemstone onto the ground.
Was he going to put a broken stone in his pocket?
Bang!
Just as the stone hit the ground.
Rumble!
Rumble!
It was like an explosion, a puff of smoke appeared.
Buzz.
The humming noise was excruciatingly loud.
The three were stunned for a moment and looked over.
Could it be...
Was it really a gemstone?
Just as the smoke cleared.
A large man holding a long knife, clad in battle armor, tall and imposing, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, leaped out!
"Courting death!"
Whoosh!
The long knife swung!
The sharp gang qi sliced out like a sheet of glass.
The three instinctively resisted.
With a bang!
The three were knocked back.
"General Bai Qi?" Fang Yu rejoiced, "Watch out for hidden weapons!"
He spoke directly since Bai Qi wouldn't understand military terms like "sniper."
Right then.
Bam!
A bullet came from afar.
Bai Qi coldly stepped down! His whole body erupted with gang qi, forming a protective shield!
Bam! The bullet was deflected. At the same time, Bai Qi shielded Fang Yu!
Fang Yu glanced at Bai Qi and said, "You've broken through three major levels!"
The last time they met, Bai Qi was only at the Constant Sand Realm.
In such a short time, he reached the Star Level!
It's unbelievable.
With the protective shield, Fang Yu also hurriedly took the chance to restore his spiritual energy.
"You thought my strength was only Constant Sand? When you defeated me in the secret realm, it was because I was sealed! Truth be told, a thousand years ago, my power was at the Star Realm! A thousand years ago, I was ambushed and sealed by experts... I've been looking for a way to break the seal for a thousand years! I just regained my strength!"
Fang Yu suddenly understood, "So that's it!"
"Today, this battle is to repay the kindness you showed the Bai Clan that day!"
As he spoke.
He stomped his foot.
Bai Qi charged at the three with killing intent.
A Star Level expert could easily slay three cultivators of the Light King realm!
Besides, Bai Qi's combat experience, in terms of killing people, was at the Killing Divine Level.
The middle-aged man's pupils contracted, scared out of his wits, "This... how is this possible! General Bai Qi!!!"
