"Brother, what do you think about what I said?"
After saying that, Xu Jian looked at Xiao Ming with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I don't think so." Xiao Ming's husky voice had no ups and downs.
"The buzzing mountain fist!" Xu Jian, who had guessed such an outcome, shouted as soon as Xiao Ming's voice fell, and his hands emerged with earthy yellow Dou Qi as he punched towards Xiao Ming's head.
The other people also had an extremely tacit understanding to execute a Dou Technique attack towards Xiao Ming.
Therefore, they took advantage of the conversation time and approached silently.
So the attacks reached Xiao Ming in an instant.
Seeing that the black-robed man was about to die at the hands of himself and the others, the white-haired man in the crowd who attacked, did not forget to sneer, "Little midget, to tell the truth, even if you deliver them, you could hardly have escaped death, hahahaha, die!"
'What a stinky mouth'
The white haired young man was obviously the guy who had been provoking the others in the dense forest, and now he was cursing him, Xiao Ming took a look at him and decided to help his mother educate him properly, the tuition fee was his little life.
Xiao Ming's face did not change as the red Dou Qi surged from the bottom of his feet.
With a roar, he rushed towards them with a speed that Xu Jian could barely comprehend, his body twisted strangely to avoid their attacks, and then dodged between them, heading straight for the white-haired man in the background.
How could he be?
Seeing Xiao Ming's astonishing speed, Xu Jian was incredulous and almost shouted in surprise.
It was clear that his opponent's exposed aura was just a Dou Grandmaster, and he was also a Dou Grandmaster, but his opponent's speed was much faster than his!
The white-haired man looked at Xiao Ming, who was approaching him, and understood that he was fixated on him, and a ruthless tinge appeared on his face.
He injected a large amount of blue Dou Qi into the long blade in his hand, which was originally attacking Xiao Ming, and it glowed with a dark blue color.
''Kid, aiming at me is your mistake, I'm a Dou Grandmaster."
With a fierce smile on his face, the white-haired man ruthlessly brought down the sword in his hand.
Xu Jian wanted to change the direction of his attack to help the white-haired man, but they had been preparing this attack for a long time and could not stop it for a while.
They could only let the white-haired man and Xiao Ming collide forcefully, while their own attack landed on Xiao Ming's original position.
Boom! Boom!
Two loud bangs rang out in the small field.
The few attacks from Xu Jian and the others smashed into the flower bed, raising a huge cloud of dust that enveloped the small field.
When the smoke and dust cleared, his pupils shrank as he looked at the spot where Xiao Ming and the white-haired youth had exchanged blows.
"Oooh..."
They only saw that the white-haired youth had lost his ability to move, and that his entire body was lying on the ground with a large crater behind his head and a nauseating sound coming from his mouth.
Xiao Ming, for his part, had one foot over his face, it is not known if it was intentional or not, but it was right in his mouth, while holding his sword in his hand.
In this one instant, the white-haired young man's brain stopped working...
Xu Jian and the others only felt dizzy, the white-haired man was the only Dou Grandmaster besides Xu Jian, and this black-robed man was able to subdue him in an instant, how strong he must be!
They were in big trouble.
Xu Jian and the others wanted to cry.
The fact that Xiao Ming was able to subdue the white-haired youth was inseparable from his training in Black-Corner Region, plus the Dou Techniques he had practiced were beyond the reach of these lone cultivators.
Moreover, the white-haired youth's realm was a level below his own, so it was only logical that he would easily take him down.
Xiao Ming smiled as he stomped the white-haired youth with fierce strength under his feet and touched the white-haired man's long sword in his hand.
Instead of putting it in his storage ring, he held it in his hand and turned to look at Xu Jian and the other people, saying softly.
"Hand over your storage ring, and I can let you have a quick death."
"No negotiation?" Looking at Xiao Ming's ruthless action, the various people looked frightened and asked with ugly faces.
"No negotiation." Xiao Ming laughed and said in a low voice.
"Then go to hell...!" As Black-Corner Region thugs, how could they accept this outcome?
Although they could not defeat Xiao Ming, they still had to resist.
Xu Jian was about to make a move when he was hit in the head by a pillar of green energy behind him, his head immediately evaporated.
Xu Jian's headless body, bubbling with blood, fell heavily to the ground, a scene that directly stunned his accomplices.
Hastily looking back, they saw a milky white, glowing object floating in the air, clearly the cause of the attack a moment ago.
"Split up and run!"
Understanding that Xiao Ming had no intention of letting them go, the woman in green roared and took the lead to run to the left.
When the remaining four heard this, their eyes lit up and they all executed their movement Dou Technique, using all their strength to run in the other direction.
"Oh, you think you can run away by simply splitting up? That's naive, Spirit, kill them for me."
Spirit, who received the order, severely disappeared from the scene, and a few seconds later, the few people running into the dense forest fell one after another with a thud.
Looking at this scene, Xiao Ming shook his head.
Why bother?
If they hadn't run away, they wouldn't have died so quickly, and it would have taken him a little effort if the several people had joined forces.
Waving his hand to retrieve the spirit returning to his body, Xiao Ming bent down and took the storage ring from the index finger of the white-haired man at his feet.
Without checking anything yet, and placing the longsword in his hand inside, Xiao Ming walked over to the other corpses.
A few moments later, after hanging some of the storage rings on his own storage ring rope, he continued his own exploration.
There was nothing left in the small field, and Xiao Ming set his eyes on the only hut in the field.
There were good things in the field, so he thought the hut would have them too.
With this thought, Xiao Ming opened the door of the hut.
As expected, there was nothing special in the hut, but he found a sixth-tier pill on the table in the center of the hut, as well as a stack of second and third tier pill recipes.
These pill recipes also made Xiao Ming realize that the original owner of the hut must have been an alchemist, which was why there were so many medicinal herbs in the small field.
This trip had made him rich!
The Secret Realm was really the right place, and Xiao Ming was in a very good mood when he left the hut.
It could only be said that he was lucky to arrive so early and not have anyone around him at the same entrance of the passage as him.
This was what allowed him to get hold of so many goods one step ahead of the others.
He knew he wasn't as lucky in the simulator, there were too many people around him and he couldn't take too many things.
Standing in the small field, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a hint that something was wrong.
'It's been a short time since I left, how come that white-haired man's corpse has dried up, and also that Xu Jian's?'
The two men who had been lying on the ground had already turned into skin and bones.
Xiao Ming looked at the corpses of the other people and found them all like this.
A shudder ran through his heart.
Damn it, the simulator had overlooked these details again, which was too annoying.
No wonder the self in the simulator often didn't live more than a few years, this constant overlooking of some details by the simulator must be one of the culprits. After cursing, Xiao Ming quickly jumped over the fence and left the small field to sneak into the dense forest.
