Volume 1 Chapter 33: Muffled Stick

  Looking at Jiang Feng and Xue Dao, after secretly glancing at the monk on the left side of the road, they stuck close to the stone wall, with an air of thieves afraid of being discovered. Yuezi Peak's brothers then realized that Jiang Feng and Xue Dao probably knew the monk standing in the middle of the road.

  "Do you know that monk? Have you had dealings with him?" asked Yue Zifeng.

  Xue Dao nodded, while Jiang Feng said: "It's that bastard, he robbed me and Xue Dao of the elixir we got before. I didn't expect to run into him here, this time I'll make him pay."

  "Want to make him look good? What can you do to him? He's a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, after all. The four of us might not be his match." Blood Knife said with an expression that seemed to say "you're looking for death".

  Jiang Feng was so angry he wanted to go up and beat Blood Blade, gritting his teeth as he said: "You idiot, how can you only help others gain prestige while losing your own? Have you forgotten that everyone has lost their cultivation? Can't the four of us even handle him alone?"

  At this remark, Xue Dao's expression suddenly became one of enlightenment. His demeanor also turned slightly more ferocious at this moment, and he no longer stuck closely to the wall like a thief.

  "How dare you steal from me, you must have eaten the heart of a leopard. You don't even ask around, I used to be something big back in the day." Xue Dao said with an air of being the king of the world.

  Jiang Feng Ba turned pale and looked around on the ground for something that could be used as a weapon. The other two were not familiar with Blood Knife, so Yue Zi Feng curiously asked: "What did you do before?"

  "Don't be scared when I say this, but Blood Knife used to be a mountain bandit." said Blood Knife.

  I thought it was something else, but unexpectedly, Blood Knife is from a bandit background. And this matter isn't very honorable either, yet Blood Knife has an extremely pleased expression. It makes both Yue Zi Feng and his brother feel that Blood Knife is very punchable.

  When the ground collapsed, many trees growing on the ground also fell down together. Jiang Feng found one and broke off a section of the trunk to make a stick in his hand. Xue Dao also rushed over to get a thicker one than Jiang Feng's. Only Yuezi Peak and his brother were hesitant, apparently they had no grudge against each other and didn't want to fight.

  "That guy is not a good person, he relied on his strong cultivation to bully others and steal things everywhere. We beat him up and took back the stolen goods, which also avenged our past grievances." Jiang Feng said.

  Since they are fellow practitioners, looking at Jiang Feng and Xue Dao wanting to take action, the two brothers of Yue Zi also couldn't say that they wouldn't participate. Moreover, he was a foundation-building late-stage cultivator who had previously obtained elixirs. If they really robbed him, it would be very beneficial.

  The four of them took a sneak peek and found that the monk was still standing there. The place where he stood happened to be an intersection. Jiang Feng thought that the man hadn't decided which way to go yet, and was thinking about it there.

  Carrying a stick, Jiang Feng walked out of his hiding place. Xue Dao closely followed and then stood side by side with Jiang Feng. Behind them, the two brothers, Yue Zi and Feng, had just seen someone come around from behind the stone wall when they saw Xue Dao and Jiang Feng turn back and run towards them again. The speed was even faster than the first time they retreated.

  Just as they walked onto the left path, Jiang Feng and Xue Dao both saw that at the other three directions of the crossroads where the cultivator was located, three or four cultivators emerged from each direction. These cultivators rushed towards the solid foundation late-stage cultivator. Just as Jiang Feng and Xue Dao took a few steps forward, those cultivators clashed with each other.

  After retreating, he looked to the left side of the road again and saw a dozen or so cultivators who had lost their cultivation base surrounding Jiang Feng's target. But don't look at one side having more people, the cultivator stared at by Jiang Feng was extremely fierce. With just a dagger in his hand, he killed several people in a few confrontations.

  In just a few seconds, half of the people had fallen to the ground, and the others were also fleeing. Jiang Feng and the others stopped sneaking peeks. They were all thinking that the guy was not only a late-stage cultivator but also a high-ranking martial artist in the pugilistic world. If they had charged forward just now, perhaps they would have died too.

  The sound of fighting stopped, and those cultivators must have all died. Jiang Feng thought to himself, how could there be so many people without a single one knowing martial arts? At the same time, he also gave Blood Knife a signal with his eyes, meaning for him to come up.

  "You see what I'm doing? I can't beat that guy. Didn't you see just now how many people were taken down like chopping vegetables?" said Blood Knife, shaking his head.

  "Aren't you a bandit? Aren't bandits also people of the jianghu? You should be familiar with both, no matter what." Jiang Feng said. The two brothers, Yue Zi and Feng, nodded in agreement beside him, thinking that Jiang Feng's words made sense.

  Xue Dao scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, and said: "I used to be a bandit, that's true, but I was just the cook in the mountain stronghold. Most of the time, I was chopping vegetables with my knife. Basically, I didn't participate in any of the stronghold's business."

  "You... don't say I know you." Jiang Feng was speechless. He stopped looking at Blood Knife and turned to look at the two brothers, Yue Zi and Peak. Thinking that they were also from Tianmen Sect, they should be able to handle it somehow.

  "If you had some skill, that would be one thing. Now that your skills are gone, there's no difference between you and an ordinary person. The two of us aren't evenly matched." Yue Zifeng hastily said.

  The master's skills are still there, and the people of Wulin are not even worth looking at. But if you don't have any skills, unless you've practiced before, otherwise, it's really not as good as a Wulin person who knows kung fu.

  Yue Zifeng and his brother never intended to take action, now in this situation, they are even less likely to do so. Jiang Feng, who was unwilling to let go of this opportunity, could only turn his gaze back to Xue Dao again. Unless your cultivation is very strong, your body has already become immune to swords and guns. But they obviously don't.

  "Even if you're a cook, you're still a bandit cook. When you first joined the gang, didn't you hand in your letter of intent? You're not unfamiliar with hijacking on the road, are you? You're also considered an experienced person, what do you think we should do now?" Jiang Feng said.

  Xue Dao's face was gloomy, and he said, "At the beginning when we went up the mountain, I did indeed make a name tag. But you don't know, it was because of that name tag that I went to tie someone up and bring them back. As a result, a big trouble was stirred up, and it still hasn't been resolved yet."

  Jiang Feng already knew that Xue Dao's hopes were dashed. Thinking about the current situation, it was really impossible to deal with that cultivator now. The previous matter of snatching the elixir could only be endured silently.

  He took another look and found that the monk was taking the storage bag from the corpse. Jiang Feng gave a signal to the others, and they went back on their original route. When they encountered the first fork in the road, they turned into it. The most important thing now was to avoid the monk first. Otherwise, they might be killed.

  Going around in circles, still no way out, Jiang Feng didn't think much about why there was no way out. What he's thinking now is why he's so unlucky. Clearly having a chance for revenge, the opponent just happens to be a martial arts master. This really makes him extremely depressed.

  Just as they were walking, the sound of clanging and banging came from ahead. It seemed like someone was fighting. The place where the sound came from seemed to be just next door to Jiang Feng's group. Jiang Feng quickly took two steps forward, arrived at the intersection, and stealthily looked towards the road next to their neighbor's house.

  "It's really a narrow road for sworn enemies, how is it him again?" Jiang Feng said as he withdrew his head.

  "Who is it? Who is it?" Blood Knife asked as he stuck his head out to take a look.

  On the road next to Jiang Feng and others, two people were fighting. One of them was the late-stage Jigong cultivator who had snatched Jiang Feng's elixir. The other person hadn't been seen before. At this time, they were fighting fiercely.

  Sneaking a peek at the two men's fight, Jiang Feng discovered that the cultivator who had snatched his elixir, although skilled in combat, was not easily able to harm the other person. On the contrary, the other one, despite having no decent techniques, had an incredibly robust body. Even dagger attacks could be blocked by him. Clearly, this person's cultivation was very high; otherwise, their physical strength wouldn't have remained so formidable even after their cultivation disappeared.

  The body is strong enough, but the moves are not good. It's impossible to hurt that cultivator who snatched Jiang Fengdan's medicine, and can only take a beating. I believe that if time drags on for too long, I will also be exhausted to death. This point is clearly understood by that cultivator, after entangling in battle for a long time, the body gradually unable to withstand it, this person does not plan to drag it down anymore, wanting to escape from here.

  "The enemy of an enemy is a friend. The opportunity has come." Jiang Feng muttered to himself, his back against the wall, gripping the wooden staff tightly in his hand.

  Others had not figured out what Jiang Feng was going to do when they heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. A few seconds later, a figure rushed past from the side. The person chasing behind was about to reach the intersection when Jiang Feng, who was standing against the stone wall, swung his stick horizontally. At the moment the stick was swung out, the face of the pursuer appeared right at the intersection.

  P.S: Please collect and recommend, I'm so poor that I don't have the face to see people.
