Hearing this explosive shout, Nie Ling and Su Yi both stopped in their tracks.
Then, they slowly turned their heads, and what greeted them was actually a group of cultivators dressed in uniform.
From the looks of it, they should be from some factions within the North Barren City.
And the leader of this group was a fat middle-aged man with big ears. From the faint aura he emitted, it seemed like he was actually in the late stage of the foundation establishment stage.
It could be seen that this middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears was very likely one of the stronger ones in this city.
At this moment, a burly man with bandages all over his body drilled out from behind these people.
This burly man looked at Su Yi and Nie Ling with hatred. After which, he gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle, it’s that b*tch beside that brat. She was the one who chopped off my arm.”
Su Yi saw the person who was wrapped in bandages. He saw that the person’s face was still fierce, and the scar on his face looked extremely ugly.
He also recognized who the person was. At the same time, he roughly knew what was going to happen next.
Regarding this, he could only sigh. As expected, this North Barren City was really too chaotic. Who would have thought that the mountain bandits who committed all sorts of evil deeds were actually relatives of some big factions?
At this moment, Nie Ling also recognized that fellow with a fierce face. It was the Black Tiger Fu who had been severely injured by her sword. At this moment, her face was already as cold as ice, and traces of coldness spread out from her body.
A dog really could not change its behavior. She had already severely injured the other party and even chopped off one of his arms. She did not expect that the other party still did not repent and even came looking for revenge.
“It’s you!” She took a step forward and looked at the other party with a cold gaze as she said coldly.
Su Yi watched silently from the side. This time, Old Master Nie was not around. Even if Nie Ling showed mercy this time, he would still make up for it with one last stab.
Seeing nie ling step forward, that Black Tiger Fu revealed a maniacal smile as he said crazily, “stinky b*tch, now you fear, right? Today, I want you to die… Oh no, I want to whittle you into a human rod and then torture you to death!!”
The Black Tiger Fu cried out crazily like a mad dog. The fat middle-aged man did not stop him. Instead, he looked at Nie Ling with an evil expression.
How could Nie Ling endure being humiliated in front of others? A light flashed in her hand, and the magic weapon long sword appeared in her hand.
At the same time, she let out a low shout, and used the Green Lotus Sword Art to slash at him.
“Green Lotus Sword Art, Shadow Cleaving!”
After her cry sounded, her body turned into an afterimage and an extremely sharp sword light slashed towards the Black Tiger Ah Fu, whose face was filled with meat.
Clang!!
A metallic sound rang out as Nie Ling’s attack was actually blocked by the fat middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man held a large blade in his hand and the frightening true essence of the late stage of the foundation establishment stage surged. The middle-aged man frowned when he blocked Nie Ling’s attack.
He could feel the power and might of this sword and immediately said coldly, “this lady has injured my nephew’s arm. Yet, she is still attacking in front of me. This is unacceptable.”
His words did not even mention who was the one who had insulted him first.
At this moment, Nie Ling also sensed that the strength of the late stage of the foundation establishment stage was not something that she could deal with at this moment. Hence, she withdrew her long sword and looked at them coldly.
At this time, the cultivators who set up the stall had already left, leaving only a few idle cultivators who were watching from afar.
Some cultivators seemed to know the origin of the fat middle-aged man and said with some regret.
“I don’t know which unlucky guy provoked that Zhu Ba. Zhu Ba is in the late foundation establishment stage. Besides those few people, who else can compete with him in North Barren City?”
“Those two looked pretty, how could they have offended a bully like that Zhu Ba? It’s a pity for that beautiful female cultivator. If she had fallen into the hands of that bastard Zhu Ba, who knows how she would have been tortured?”
…
The surrounding cultivators discussed animatedly. All of them were regretting how Su Yi and Nie Ling had offended that fat middle-aged man.
However, no one dared to step forward to help.
At this moment, Su Yi slowly walked to Nie Ling’s side and muttered, “I finally know why your grandfather let us stroll around. It seems like he has such an idea.”
He looked at Nie Ling, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
The Black Tiger Fu stood beside the fat middle-aged man. When he saw Su Yi slowly walk forward with a face full of disdain, he recognized Su Yi.
Was he not just a pretty boy who relied on that little girl to protect him? Yet, he was now walking over. Could it be that he was naive enough to think that they would not dare to kill anyone in the town.
The middle-aged man, Zhu Ba, did not think so. The Su Yi in front of him was wearing a Red Flame Set. There was something different about his demeanor. It was likely that he was a descendant of some aristocratic family.
Zhu Ba coldly looked at Su Yi and coldly said, “Young Master, this is the grudge between that woman and my nephew. Today, I, Zhu Ba, came here to seek justice. I hope that Young Master will not interfere.”
At this moment, the Black Tiger Fu had already exploded. Tian used his only finger to point at Su Yi and shouted.
“Uncle, he is just a gigolo. At that time, there was a sickly old man. If they were not protected by that little girl, I would have long…”
Suddenly, Zhu Ba fiercely glared at Black Tiger Fu. The other party immediately shut his mouth, knowing that he had almost been exposed as a mountain bandit.
The reputation of mountain bandits could be said to be extremely tarnished in North Barren City. If Zhu Ba was exposed as having an affair with a mountain bandit, his reputation would probably be lost.
However, he, Zhu Ba, did not know that his own reputation in North Barren City was not that great.
After hearing what Black Tiger Fu said, Zhu Ba no longer looked at Su Yi as if he was trying to probe him. Instead, he looked down on him.
“Kid, if you leave now, we can still let you off.”
Su Yi looked at the other party and found it funny. The speed at which he changed his face was really fast. As expected of someone who was experienced in this kind of city.
“Nie Ling, you should know by now that evil is evil. If you don’t eliminate the root of the problem, the spring breeze will blow again, and it will return.”
The latter thought for a while and then nodded. A cold light flashed in her eyes. She quickly understood Su Yi’s words.
If she had killed that guy at that time, these things would not have happened in North Barren City. Moreover, the other party kept calling her a little girl. It really made her feel disgusted.
Nie Ling held the long sword tightly in her hand and said indifferently, “Su Yi, please take care of that Zhu Ba. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Immediately, a sharp aura spread out from Nie Ling’s body. At this moment, she seemed to have been enlightened. A faint mysterious aura rose up, and her eyes were filled with determination.
Seeing this, Su Yi smiled slightly. He could feel that Nie Ling was sublimating at this moment. This would be beneficial to her future cultivation path.
Thus, he looked at the pig-like Zhu Ba. He could not be bothered to be polite with the other party and said, “hey, Zhu Ba, right? I don’t know if anyone has ever said that you look like a pig.”
