Free Web NovelChapter 1669: Chapter 1671: Worth a Drink
Lu Xiaobu’s pace wasn’t fast, but since no one was in a position to stop him, he was almost at the forest already.
Once inside the forest, he would basically be out of the chaotic battle.
This was the beauty of his timing; if he had been any later, everyone would have been injured and would gang up on him.
However, at this moment, those people were unwilling to abandon their wounded enemies to attack Lu Xiaobu in his prime.
And just then.
Suddenly!
No one moved on the chaotic battlefield, but from the forest, three red-eyed men charged out, their blood-red reflection on their bodies making them look more like beasts ready to devour people than the mindless beasts themselves!
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
These three were the orioles.
They had been waiting in the forest, waiting for the battle here to nearly end, so they could emerge and enjoy the fisherman’s loot!
However, this anomaly named Lu Xiaobu shattered their dreams.
Thus, they were left with two choices: rush out or let Lu Xiaobu escape!
In the end, they chose the former.
For they had no other choice, those who chose to stay and ambush were all impoverished ghosts, but this guy’s package was bulging.
A fat sheep or a group of scrawny rabbits, which one to choose?!
It goes without saying!
Thus, they charged out with blood-red eyes!
The middle-aged man at the Secret Realm’s entrance watched this scene and smiled, "Kid, not every plan can be executed perfectly; there will always be surprises. Let’s see how you handle this."
He wasn’t too interested in watching Lu Xiaobu for any other reason; he simply wanted to see the kid’s strength.
Because instinctively, he felt Lu Xiaobu wasn’t strong!
It’s simple—if he were strong, he could have gone in directly, killed a few, and the rest would naturally have dared not to move.
This is precisely why cultivators generally don’t bother to think; there’s no need—one force can overcome ten skills!
It’s only when one’s strength isn’t formidable that they resort to calculations.
He wanted to see if this kid had the ability to drink with him!
Not only him but the eight at the Nascent Soul Stage were also watching.
However, their interest was malicious—kill him! Quickly slay this little brat!
Besides these nine, even the dozens of people in the chaotic battle were occasionally glancing.
Watching the enemy’s strength to decide their next move is a skill everyone must possess.
However.
What happened next made their blood instantly go cold, a wave of fearful anxiety surged in their hearts.
Only to see those three wolf-like men pounce towards Lu Xiaobu, who seemed like prey.
Everyone felt the kid was doomed this time!
But!
The next second!
"Swish!"
The sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came.
Then, everyone saw that the murderous looks on the three bandits’ faces vanished without a trace.
Yes, they didn’t see wrong!
The three once overflowing with murderous intent, after that cutting sound, actually had their killing aura disappear!
What happened?
Questions rose in people’s hearts.
Some even got distracted, allowing their enemies to seize the moment, losing their lives!
But shortly after.
They knew, in terror they understood!
The three, they died!
Just like that, in mid-air, they turned into six pieces!
All were cleaved in half at the waist!
"Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!"
Six sounds, staggered, hit the ground, stirring up bloody dust!
How could they be so strong?!
The ones in combat were all stunned!
What they thought was a fat sheep was not a sheep, but a fierce wolf!
A smiling wolf, looking harmless to humans and animals, but once it makes a move, it reveals a reeking, bloody maw!
A chill went straight from their soles to their skulls!
They were almost going to ambush this person?!
Were their brains malfunctioning?!
If they really had done it, they certainly would have died!
In that moment, they were actually somewhat grateful Lu Xiaobu showed mercy, isn’t that strange?!
And the eight at the Nascent Soul Stage outside the Secret Realm had their eyes wide open!
What the hell?!
Misjudged him?!
This kid’s not a piece of trash!
Instantly killed three men?!
And it was a case of responding late yet acting first, while they were giving their all, he was just reacting!
But, he just instantly killed them?!
This kind of strength could place in the top ten among those entering this time!
However, afterward, their resentment grew stronger!
Damn it! So, you’re this strong!
Then why the hell did you linger at the entrance for so long, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?!
"Hahaha! Interesting! So interesting! This kid is getting more interesting! Good! Looks like I won’t save my bottle of wine! But, it’s worth it! Worth it!"
The middle-aged man was initially surprised but then burst into hearty laughter.
The show was exhilarating!
A strong man, one who enjoys using his brain, such a person is interesting!
Worthy of a drink!
Those at the Nascent Soul Stage, upon hearing the laughter, maliciously cursed—so what if he’s top ten in strength? In past years, among the first ten who came out, at most only five were truly strong!
After all, the strong have tempers, and often, they start fighting among themselves over some issue!
Instead, those who are timid and avoid contention, only thinking about survival, perhaps with some clever tricks, often survive till the end!
"Alright, close it now!" The middle-aged man gestured with his hand, signaling to close the entrance of the Secret Realm!
They had seen enough, it was good!
Soon, the eager eight at the Nascent Soul Stage promptly closed the entrance to the Secret Realm.
The entrance vanished, and calm was restored once more.
But the people who were in the square were gone, and in half a month, only a few would come out!
A path stained with blood!
Just as the Secret Realm closed, someone rushed over, face full of anxiety: "Young Master! Young Master! Young Master!"
It was the butler of that wealthy heir.
He finally realized his Young Master was missing.
As soon as he thought of it, he knew the Young Master must have entered the Secret Realm, so he rushed over!
But he only saw the entrance just closing!
"Young Master!" The old butler stood outside the square, crying out: "Why couldn’t you just be obedient?! What will the master do if something happens to you?!"
The old butler beat his chest in regret!
He should’ve just locked him up back then!
How can he face the master now?!
The middle-aged man looked at the old butler, shook his head, and said calmly, "Prepare for the worst."
Though such incidents are rare, they occasionally happen, so he understood right away.
Without any prior experience, a pampered heir entering is a road to certain death!
The old butler’s eyes were vacant, disregarding the middle-aged man’s words, only muttering non-stop: "Young Master, Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!"
He felt as if dying would be a release—what was this situation?!
