The fruits on the candied haws were called Red in July.
They grew deep in the mountains and could also be artificially planted. They would only turn red after they matured in July every year. They were a delicacy that ordinary people liked. This kind of food was not very elegant, but it definitely was not trash as the fatty said.
The middle-aged fatty was also a cultivator. His strength was very low as he was only a Rudimentary Spiritualist. In this small city where most people were common folks, he could also be considered a small expert.
If he were to make a move, the old man would not be able to withstand it.
Originally, Ou Yangming did not plan to make a fuss. After all, they were not people from the same world. Nonetheless, the man’s arrogant attitude made him very unhappy.
“Little brother, forget it. We can’t afford to provoke them.”
The old man pulled Ou Yangming and wanted to leave with him. A poor person like him did not dare to provoke powerful existences. To him, the young fellow was pitifully poor as well to not even have 2 copper coins. He was sure that the fellow was just an ordinary person.
“What’s wrong? Are you still not convinced?”
The middle-aged fatty looked at Ou Yangming. His eyes carried a sharp look. A white light flashed in his hand. Seeing this, the old man was shocked.
“Let’s go first!” The old man urged again, his voice filled with fear.
The other party was actually a Spiritualist. The old man had never cultivated, but he was in the Spiritual Realm. Even ordinary people knew how terrifying these cultivators were.
“Let’s go then.” Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze and supported the old man, planning to leave this place.
It was not that he did not want to teach the fat man a lesson, but he was worried that the man would take revenge after he left. It was very simple to uproot someone, but it was also too cruel. As long as the man did not go too far, Ou Yangming did not want to attack an ordinary person, let alone in front of this old man.
Ou Yangming chose to take a step back. Just as the two of them were about to leave, a duck-like voice came from behind them again. “Did I say to let you leave?”
They had planned to leave, but the fatty in luxurious clothes still did not plan to let them go.
“What else do you want?” Ou Yangming turned his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
His previous retreat was already his bottom line.
Given that the fat man was an insignificant existence, Ou Yangming was kind enough to tolerate him. If the other party still dared to provoke him, he would not mind trampling him to death.
The fatty dressed in luxurious clothes did not see the change in Ou Yangming’s expression. He thought that his imposing manner just now scared the two people into retreating.
He sneered and looked at Ou Yangming. “You seem to be quite unconvinced.”
“Do you think you have the qualifications to make me convinced?” Ou Yangming’s eyes were deep as he asked in return.
The old man was startled and hurriedly said to the fat man, “Sir, this little brother speaks without thinking. He doesn’t know how powerful you are, sir. Please forgive him and don’t lower yourself to his level.”
Nevertheless, the fat man completely ignored the old man’s words. He stared at Ou Yangming with interest and said with a smile, “Interesting, interesting… I haven’t seen such a bold kid like you for a long time.”
The luxurious-clothed fatty waved his hand, and a few guards outside the spiritual medicine shop quickly walked over and surrounded Ou Yangming and the old man.
“What do you want?” Ou Yangming coldly shouted. He had been provoked into anger.
The luxurious-clothed fatty laughed, “Do you see the people around me? “These people are all cultivators. Now, I’ll give you 2 choices. The first choice is for you and that old thing to be beaten up by my men. Of course, I’m very sympathetic. I won’t beat you to death. It’s fine as long as you’re half-dead. At most, you’ll only be cripples.”
“What about the second choice?” Ou Yangming’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
“The second choice…”
The luxurious-clothed fatty stood on the side. He lifted his robe and spread his legs, then he said, “Aren’t you very unconvinced of me? As long as you choose to submit to me and crawl under me, I can let you off this time. What do you think? Isn’t this fair?”
At this time, the surrounding guards also laughed wildly. For them, this was a very interesting thing.
“You’re insulting his dignity!” The old man could not help but utter when he heard the fatty’s rude request.
“Dignity?”
“Hahaha…”
The luxurious-clothed fatty laughed loudly and said with a disdainful look, “Dignity? You weaklings are already very lucky to live in this world. Dignity is a luxury. Do you think trash like you can enjoy it?”
“Yes, hurry up and crawl over!” The guards at the side laughed ferociously and jeered.
“I can’t hold it in any longer.” One of the guards clenched his fist. It was not the first time they had taught someone a lesson.
“Young fella, what do you plan to do?” The luxurious-clothed fatty smiled and looked at Ou Yangming as if he was sure to win.
Ou Yangming smiled and said indifferently, “I think the third choice is more suitable.”
“The third choice?”
The luxurious-clothed fatty’s expression changed slightly. He had not said anything about a third choice. He could tell that this young fellow was planning to fight to the death.
He asked curiously, “What’s the third choice?”
Ou Yangming’s expression did not change as he said nonchalantly, “The third choice is to turn you, a waste, into a complete waste. This way, you won’t have the chance to bully others.”
“B*stard, you’re courting death!” The fatty’s expression changed, and his sharp voice sounded again. “Teach them a good lesson. If they die, count it on me!”
4 guards raised their fists and rushed forward.
One of the guards clenched his fist and punched Ou Yangming’s face. His movements were familiar, and he seemed to be experienced.
Among the other 3 people, 2 came from the other side, and the remaining one planned to teach the old man a lesson.
Ou Yangming did not move. Just as the fist reached his body, he slowly raised his hand and easily caught it.
That person was shocked. He did not expect this young fellow to know some moves and was quite fast. After pulling hard, he realized that he could not pull his fist back. He raised his foot and planned to kick Ou Yangming below.
Before he could raise his foot…
“Crack!”
A hair-raising sound rang out. This was the sound of bones breaking. The bone in the guard’s right hand was crushed into pieces by Ou Yangming.
“Ah!” A scream of pain was heard.
Ou Yangming let go and raised his leg to kick somewhere else.
The other guard was kicked, and his body was sent flying. He crashed into the wall and created a big hole in the wall.
On the street, those who saw this sucked in a breath of cold air.
‘How much power did that require?’
“This time, Fatty Hu must’ve offended someone fierce.”
“Serves him right!” Someone spat. “That guy used his power to bully others. Who knows how many innocent people have been bullied by him? He should’ve thought that such a day would come.”
“The Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store has a strong backer. That young fella injured the guards here. I’m afraid he won’t have a good life.”
The people around discussed animatedly.
Ou Yangming’s few light moves caused all 4 guards to fall to the ground. Only the fatty in luxurious clothes was still standing on the spot.
At this moment, the fatty was also somewhat stunned. He could not tell that this young fellow was also a cultivator. Moreover, his strength seemed to be quite good.
The guards were all experts but in less than 8 minutes, they were all knocked down by that young fellow. Fatty Hu’s expression changed slightly. He reached into his sleeve and took out a dagger that flickered with a cold light.
“That’s a magic tool!”
The surrounding people were shocked. Fatty Hu rarely made a move. They did not expect him to actually have a magic tool and was also a cultivator.
Fatty Hu’s eyes were filled with a ferocious light. He suddenly moved forward, and the dagger in his hand stabbed toward Ou Yangming’s direction without hesitation.
“Pow!” A crisp slap sounded.
Fatty Hu fell to the ground. His face was swollen like a pig’s head. The magic tool that looked like a dagger fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
This was only a Common Grade Rank One magic tool. Ou Yangming would not even look at it.
Fatty Hu covered his face in disbelief. This slap had greatly damaged his vitality, and he was unable to stand up. He opened his eyes, and a pair of boots made of animal skin appeared in his line of sight.
The young fellow had walked in front of him and was looking down at him from above.
“You…”
Fatty Hu’s voice trembled, and he said in fear, “You can’t hurt me. If you hurt me, our boss won’t let you off. My boss is an Advanced Spiritualist!”
As soon as he said this, the onlookers were shocked.
Advanced Spiritualists were super powerhouses only second to Venerable Ones. There were only a few Venerable Ones in the Spiritual Realm, and Advanced Spiritualists were already unattainable existences to the others.
“The backing of this Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store is actually so terrifying. No wonder no one dares to provoke Boss Hu and the others in Butterfly City.”
“With such great backing, that young fella wouldn’t dare to make a move. What a pity. I wanted to see how unlucky Fatty Hu would be. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to see that now…”
“That young fella’s already very good. At least, he saw Fatty Hu in a sorry state. In the future, he probably won’t be as bold as before in Butterfly City.”
Although everyone felt a little regretful, they knew that it was undoubtedly the best outcome to end it at this time. Ou Yangming’s losses were not big at this time. The Advanced Spiritualist behind the Fuhai Spiritual Medicine Store might not make a move yet but if the young fellow really injured everyone, he might not be able to escape the pursuit…
Everyone clearly knew the terror of an Advanced Spiritualist. Even the old man sobered up from his shock and hurriedly persuaded Ou Yangming to leave.
Ou Yangming did not intend to stop. Although this fatty did not pose a foolish threat, he knew that if he let him go, the old man would be avenged for sure.
If one could not kill the snake, one would suffer instead.
The fatty could not harm Ou Yangming, but he could harm other people. Given that the fatty was such a poisonous snake, the young fellow should let him lose his fangs.
Ou Yangming glanced at Fatty Hu coldly and said indifferently, “An Advanced Spiritualist. Is that very powerful?”
