Chapter 5104 Money Galore
Luo Yunsheng nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Heavenly Court Sea is full of dangers, it also contains many Chaos Origin Crystal veins. Perhaps we can make a fortune while we're in."
As the two walked and talked, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd ahead.
A filthy, round, fat man, like a ball of flesh, darted through the crowd, shouting as he ran:
"Help! Murder! Those bastards from the Demon Kingdom have no sportsmanship! So many of them are bullying a weak man like me!"
Behind him, several demonic cultivators dressed in black robes, exuding a chilling aura, pursued relentlessly, their demonic weapons gleaming coldly, clearly intending to kill him.
"Ok?"
Su Bai's gaze sharpened. He ignored the pursuing demonic cultivators and instead focused his attention on the fleeing fat man.
Although the fat man looked disheveled, his strange movements surprised Su Bai.
Every time he was about to be caught, he could twist his body at an incredibly unbelievable angle, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow, and even manage to steal a few money pouches from passersby.
"Interesting." Su Bai's lips curled into a playful smile. "This movement technique is quite skillful."
That round, chubby man was like a nimble groundhog, darting left and right through the crowded throng, incredibly fast and slippery.
His fat seemed to have some special way of deflecting force; whenever an attack landed on him, it would be bounced off or slid away by the wavy layers of fat.
"Damn fatso! Stop right there! Hand over the stuff!"
The demonic cultivators chasing after him were clearly furious. The leader, a peak-level Divine Realm cultivator, wielded a jet-black chain that coiled around the fat man like a venomous snake, but each time it missed its mark.
"Screw you! That's intelligence I earned through my own abilities. Why should I give it to you? You bunch of little devils, trying to get something for nothing? No way! Let me tell you, I, Fatty, have my dignity too!"
As the fat man ran, he still had the energy to spit back and curse under his breath. His smug look made you want to kick him a couple of times.
There was a dead end ahead. The space was completely blocked. The fat man's expression changed, and he muttered, "Oh no!"
Upon seeing this, several demonic cultivators immediately revealed ferocious expressions and surrounded them with savage grins.
"Run! Why aren't you running anymore? You fatso, how dare you sell the private information of my Demon Kingdom's Lord? I think you're tired of living!" The leading demon cultivator sneered, the chains in his hands rattling, blocking all of the fat man's escape routes.
"Brothers, let's talk this out, let's talk this out!"
The fat man's eyes darted around, and a fawning smile immediately appeared on his face. He retreated while begging for mercy, "Actually, it's all a misunderstanding. I... I was just embellishing it for artistic purposes! Yes, embellishing it for artistic purposes! I'll return all the divine crystals I earned to you right now, okay? We can still be friendly even if we don't end up doing business together!"
"Too late! We'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs, and the divine crystals will naturally be ours!"
The demonic cultivator leader clearly had no patience for wasting words with him. He swung the chain in his hand, which turned into a black lightning bolt and went straight for the fat man's crown.
This attack was extremely ruthless, clearly indicating a determination to kill.
A flicker of despair crossed the fat man's eyes. Although his agility was superb, his ability to fight head-on was pitifully weak. Seeing the chains about to fall, he could only close his eyes and let out a scream:
"My God! Heaven is jealous of talent! I, Fatty, haven't even gotten married yet!"
However, the expected pain did not come.
"clang!"
A crisp sound of gold and iron sounded.
The fat man cautiously opened one eye and saw a slender, fair hand firmly grasping the black chain that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
The owner of the hand was a young man dressed in white with a cool and aloof demeanor. Beside him stood a tall woman, also wearing a mask.
It was Su Bai and Luo Yunsheng in disguise.
“My friend, it’s wise to be lenient. This is Blackhorn City, not your Demon Kingdom’s backyard,” Su Bai said calmly, his tone icy.
"Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Demon Kingdom?"
The demonic cultivator leader tried to pull the chains, but found they wouldn't budge, as if they were rooted to the ground. He was immediately alarmed.
He couldn't see through the young man's cultivation level, but his intuition told him that this was a tough opponent.
"roll."
Su Bai didn't waste any words and flicked his wrist slightly.
An overwhelming force traveled along the chains.
"boom!"
The demonic cultivator leader felt a sharp pain in his hand, and the chains in his hand instantly snapped into several pieces. He was also thrown backward by the force, crashing heavily into the wall and spitting out blood.
"A divine realm?! This is troublesome! Retreat!"
The leader was a decisive man. Sensing the level of that power, he knew he had encountered a powerful expert he couldn't afford to offend. He didn't even dare to utter a harsh word and led his men to flee in a panic.
Crisis resolved.
The fat man stood there stunned, taking a long time to come to his senses. He looked at Su Bai, and his previously fawning eyes suddenly burst forth with a light more dazzling than the Chaos Origin Crystal.
"My benefactor!"
The fat man let out a wail and rushed over to hug Su Bai's leg, crying and sobbing, "My benefactor, your life-saving grace is like that of a second parent! I... no, I have no way to repay you, I can only..."
Su Bai took a step to the side in disgust, dodging the fat man's "attack," and said indifferently, "There's no need to offer yourself in return. I saved you just because I found your movement technique a bit interesting."
"Hehe, that's right, that's right." The fat man wasn't embarrassed at all. He quickly got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and immediately resumed his shrewd and mercenary demeanor.
He moved closer to Su Bai, rubbing his hands together and laughing, "My benefactor has a good eye! I am Qian Duoduo, known in the martial arts world as 'Know-It-All.' This 'Dragon Step' is a family secret technique, it's a divine skill for escaping... oh no, it's a strategic retreat!"
"Qian Duoduo?" Luo Yunsheng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the name. "That's a fitting name."
"That's right! Money is money!" Qian Duoduo chuckled, then his small eyes swept back and forth between Su Bai and Luo Yunsheng. He lowered his voice and said, "I see that you two benefactors have extraordinary bearing, and that move you just made...tsk tsk, you are definitely not ordinary people. Did you two come to Black Horn City to go to the Heavenly Court Boundary Sea?"
Su Bai's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the seemingly sleazy but actually shrewd fat man and said calmly, "How do you know?"
"Hehe, isn't that simple?" Qian Duoduo pointed to the storage ring on Su Bai's waist and sniffed. "You two just bought a lot of Sky-Stabilizing Pearls and Boundary-Breaking Talismans at the exchange, right? I could smell them from three streets away. If you bought these things, where else would you go but to the Boundary Sea to die... cough cough, to go on an adventure?"
Su Bai had to admit that the fat man's observation skills were indeed sharp.
