Chapter Summary
"It seems there really is someone who knows what's going on. That way, we'll all be better off." This guy said it with a hint of provocation; this wasn't just taking a fee, it was practically skinning them alive. These guys kill without blinking an eye; it's time to part with our money.
"It seems there really is someone who knows what's going on. In that case, things will be easier to discuss. Your backpacks are quite bulging; there must be a lot of stuff inside. Why don't you leave 5 million? That way, we'll all be better off."
This guy said it with a hint of provocation; this wasn't just taking a fee, it was practically skinning them alive.
Wei Xiong was familiar with the local market; generally, the fee was 1 million, which was similar to the escort fee in the military.
If they were to ask for 5 million, that would be going too far. Zhang Chu's side received a total of 20 million worth of goods, so taking 5 million would be a quarter of that.
If this is the only band of bandits on the way back, then giving them 5 million is negotiable.
However, it's still 3 kilometers from here to the base city. The situation here has definitely attracted the attention of others. If we just give away 5 million, there will be others intercepting us on the way. We can't show weakness. This is also one of the rules of wilderness survival.
"Aren't you asking for too much? Is there any chance of negotiation?"
Wei Xiong said coldly.
"I thought you were a shrewd guy, but I didn't expect you to be so stingy. In that case, we'll just have to risk your lives. Come out, brothers, and let them see our strength."
After this guy finished speaking, dozens of thieves appeared around them. These people were quite strong, and Wei Xiong and the others were speechless. How could their luck be so bad?
They unexpectedly encountered one of the few groups of thieves outside the city. These people were the fiercest and most troublesome. No wonder they asked for 5 million upfront. With so many people involved, if they asked for less, it wouldn't even cover their travel expenses.
Upon seeing these people appear, Wei Xiong gently shook his head. His meaning was clear: he had to give these people money.
If we continue to provoke them, we might not be able to get out. These guys kill without blinking an eye; it's time to part with our money.
Zhang Chu was filled with regret. He should have arranged for the shipment together. In trying to save that little bit of money, he had put everyone in a dangerous situation. Even if he gave them 5 million now, these people probably wouldn't let them go.
"Wei Xiong, just take your men and leave. I'll fight these people to the death."
Zhang Chu spat out a mouthful of saliva. He had made up his mind; he couldn't let Wei Xiong and the others get involved.
If we hadn't met outside the city, Wei Xiong would definitely have left with his men. But we've fought so hard for so long, and we're brothers who've risked our lives for each other. What would we be like if we just abandoned you?
So Wei Xiong and his men didn't move an inch, but assumed a fighting stance, which amused the surrounding thieves. "There are only a few of you, yet you want to fight us? You guys are really ridiculous."
"Looks like there's no room for negotiation. All of you can stay here. Brothers, it's been a long time since we've stretched our muscles. So, without further ado, get to work."
The leader gave the order, and the men below drew their weapons; the two sides were about to clash.
"Kill them all! These people are not even human, especially you. Put away your mercy. If you don't kill them, they will kill you. Think about your family!"
Seeing that Liu Ning hadn't gone all out, Wei Xiong shouted at him. Actually, you can't blame Liu Ning, since he hasn't been out much.
Moreover, there is always a difference between dealing with humans and ferocious beasts. When dealing with ferocious beasts, one can use every move to kill, but one cannot do the same to humans, since it is a life. However, when he thought of his family, Liu Ning did not hesitate.
Liu Ning dodged the knife. This guy had tried to kill him, and he had two chances to end his life, but he thought he was human. Now it seemed he couldn't hold back.
The system has beeped several times already. This guy has nothing good on him, just a broken H-level armor. He's utterly trash.
Liu Ning's equipment is better than yours, and his abilities are better than yours. If you were to defeat him, that would be a huge joke!
So when this guy threw a punch, Liu Ning didn't dodge at all and met the punch head-on. Liu Ning used 80% of his strength, but even 80% was not something the apprentice warrior in front of him could withstand.
Well!
The thief felt as if time had frozen, and a piercing pain shot through his fist. Why was this guy acting differently than before? But his injuries didn't allow him to dwell on the doubts.
This force traveled from the back of the hand to the wrist, and then from the wrist up the arm. In an instant, all the blood vessels burst, and then the entire arm seemed to explode, with bits of flesh everywhere.
From a distance, Liu Ning's hands looked like a meat grinder, tearing the soldier apprentice's arm apart bit by bit from his fingers to his shoulder.
The people around them were fighting, but seeing such a horrific scene, they all stopped fighting without prior arrangement.
Defeating an enemy with a single punch, or even crippling their arm, is nothing unusual to most people, but Liu Ning's attack was truly terrifying.
The entire arm slowly burst open from bottom to top. What kind of force was this?
The guy who got hit was also puzzled. Wasn't this a warrior apprentice? Even if he was slightly stronger than him, he couldn't be this strong, could he? Could this guy be pretending to be weak while actually being strong, or is he a warrior?
The apprentice warrior couldn't tell, but the warrior among the thieves could. Even a true warrior probably couldn't control his power with such precision.
After this blow, the warrior apprentice in front of him was completely powerless, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the battle. This kid's ability to control his power was truly amazing, surpassing most warriors.
The wounded soldier apprentice was screaming in agony; it was incredibly painful, but no one, including his brothers, paid any attention to him.
You're already a useless person; there's no need for any treatment at all.
If it were a broken bone, someone could set it for you; if the meridians were broken, there would be medicine to save it. But now the whole arm is just pieces of flesh. What bandit gang would want a thief who has lost an arm?
