Chapter 331: Robbery!

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Robbery!

"I didn’t expect that, by a stroke of luck, my cultivation would actually break through to the Heavenly Profound Realm. This is unexpectedly delightful for me!" Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel excited in his heart.

Afterward, Lin Fan slowly stood up and said to Skinny and Monkey, "Let’s go out!"

Lin Fan walked out!

Skinny and Monkey followed behind Lin Fan and walked out as well.

As they walked, Lin Fan suddenly stopped and said to the two, "Right, I hope that what happened here will not be known by others. Do you two understand?"

"Yes!"

The two of them quickly responded respectfully.

"Hmm!"

After Lin Fan nodded, he continued forward!

Finally, the three of them returned to the dilapidated cave dwelling.

Seeing the filthy and disordered environment inside the dilapidated cave dwelling again, Lin Fan’s eyebrows also furrowed slightly.

He thought to himself: "Looks like I need to find a way to improve the environment here. The conditions here are simply too poor. It’s difficult to even rest here, let alone cultivate!"

The next day, Lin Fan was cultivating here!

His cultivation had just reached the Heavenly Profound Realm, so he needed to continue cultivating to enhance and stabilize his cultivation.

On the second day, while Lin Fan was still cultivating, a group of people arrived.

At the forefront was Scar Face!

The power of Scar Face was very strong, already in the Sky-reaching Realm!

And behind Scar Face followed five or six underlings.

These people swaggered all the way here.

Passersby, upon seeing them, would actively clear a path. It was clear that no one wanted to offend these guys!

Monkey and Skinny also saw these people.

"The Sand Dragon Gang?"

A grave expression appeared on their faces.

At the same time, their complexions also looked ugly!

"These bandits!" Skinny said in a low and vicious tone.

Monkey said, "We must stop them. Right now, the master is cultivating and must not be disturbed!"

Scar Face, leading his group, finally arrived here!

"Haha!"

Laughing heartily, Scar Face said, "Monkey, Skinny, you two are here. Good, it saves me the trouble of having to find you elsewhere later!"

Monkey and Skinny did not speak.

Scar Face continued, "What day is today? Surely you two are very clear, aren’t you?"

Upon hearing Scar Face’s words, their expressions grew even uglier.

They knew that Scar Face was here to collect "protection money"!

In this vicinity, there was a rather powerful force named the Sand Dragon Gang.

Anyone living nearby would have to pay protection money to the Sand Dragon Gang!

As long as those who obediently paid the protection money, the Sand Dragon Gang would not trouble them for a while. However, if someone refused to pay, the Sand Dragon Gang would keep harassing them, and might even kill...

Thus, the Sand Dragon Gang was the local tyrant!

No one dared to provoke them!

Monkey and Skinny remembered quite clearly that it hadn’t been long since they had just paid the protection money!

They didn’t expect the protection fee to be collected again so soon.

To be honest, neither of them wanted to pay the protection money.

But they had no choice!

They were very aware of the dire consequences that would follow if they did not pay.

Skinny asked, "How much do we have to pay this time?"

"Hehe!"

After a laugh, Scar Face said, "One hundred Slaughter Crystal Stones from each person!"

Slaughter Crystal Stones were the common currency in the Chaotic Land because they could be directly refined here. In comparison, Elemental Stones were not of much use in the Chaotic Land!

Even though Elemental Stones could be directly refined for power, it was more difficult to refine Elemental Stones than Slaughter Crystal Stones in the Chaotic Land.

Therefore, everyone preferred Slaughter Crystal Stones over Elemental Stones!

"What?"

Upon hearing Scar Face’s words, both Skinny and Monkey were shocked and said, "A hundred Slaughter Crystal Stones? Impossible!"

Previously, the protection money collected every once in a while was only ten Slaughter Crystal Stones, which Monkey and Skinny had already struggled to gather, and now suddenly it was a hundred Slaughter Crystal Stones.

So many Slaughter Crystal Stones—even if they were killed, they could not produce such an amount!

"Hmm?"

Scar Face’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

It was apparent that at this moment, Scar Face was starting to get unhappy.

Then, Scar Face spoke again, "It’s just a request for a hundred Slaughter Crystal Stones, but you aren’t willing to give them. Seems like you are seeking death!"

"Well then, since you’re courting death, I won’t be polite!"

Scar Face sneered as he spoke.

Monkey said, "So many Slaughter Crystal Stones, even if you killed us, we wouldn’t be able to give them to you!"

"Very well!"

Scar Face sneered again and said, "In that case, I’ll send you on your way!"

As he spoke, Scar Face gestured with a wave of his hand!

His lackeys, upon receiving his order, immediately charged towards Monkey and Skinny.

The strength of those individuals was incredibly formidable.

Had it been a one-on-one fight, Monkey and Skinny might have stood a chance at victory, but now, with so many charging at them, they were simply no match!

Despite both giving it their all,

they were quickly knocked to the ground and subdued, having lost the ability to fight.

At this point, Monkey and Skinny both became helpless.

Because they knew, this time, they might very well die!

Scar Face walked over to them, his eyes slowly sweeping over their bodies. After sneering a few times, Scar Face asked again: "Now, I’ll give you another chance. Are you willing to hand over a hundred Slaughter Crystal Stones? If you’re willing to hand them over, I’ll let you go immediately. What do you say?"

Skinny replied: "We don’t have any! Just kill us!"

"Hmm?"

Upon hearing Skinny’s words, Scar Face became even more infuriated, and said coldly: "It seems you’ve really decided to seek death. Well, if you’re looking for death, I’ll grant your wish!"

With that, Scar Face paused briefly before continuing, "Do it!"

Following Skinny’s cue, one of his underlings produced a longsword and began stepping towards Monkey and Skinny.

He was preparing to take their lives!

And Scar Face’s face bore an indifferent expression.

Killing two people was truly trivial for him.

After all, in the Chaotic Land, he had to kill people every day!

"Stop!"

Just then, a forceful shout rang out.

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this voice, Scar Face and the others were taken aback!

And when Monkey and Skinny heard this voice, delight filled their faces.

It was as if they had grasped a lifesaving straw.

"Unexpectedly, there’s still someone here who isn’t afraid of death," Scar Face started laughing, appearing extremely jolly.

"Let’s send him off first!"

Scar Face said indifferently.

The sword-wielding underling also wore a ferocious grin as he approached Lin Fan.

Because Lin Fan’s Cultivation had just reached the Heavenly Profound Realm, he couldn’t yet conceal his Cultivation level, allowing others to clearly see that Lin Fan’s Cultivation was merely at the Heavenly Profound Realm.

Therefore, the underling believed that slaying Lin Fan would take just one move—no, precisely half a move!

His own combat strength could barely reach the Sky-reaching Realm, to him, a Cultivator of the Heavenly Profound Realm was nothing more than an ant.

"I’ll give you a chance, kill yourself!"

The underling stopped not too far from Lin Fan, and said coldly, lifting his longsword slowly and then blowing on it.

From the underling’s manner, he plainly didn’t take Lin Fan seriously.

"Heh..."

Lin Fan laughed, responding, "How does one commit suicide? You show me how!"

"Hmm?"

The underling, furious yet laughing, said: "Boy, it seems you’ve chosen to die in agony, so be it, I’ll accommodate you..."

"Kill!"

From the underling, suddenly emerged a strong aura, and with a flash of light, he struck with his sword towards Lin Fan.

Scar Face and the others all bore cruel smiles on their faces.

They believed that the underling’s sword would surely slay Lin Fan!

It was a matter without the slightest suspense!

The next moment, an endless black qi suddenly enveloped Lin Fan and the underling.

"Eh? What’s going on?"

Scar Face and others were genuinely surprised: "Could this be some newly learned skill from this guy, using black qi to envelop? It seems he wants to kill his opponent within the black qi!"

They all thought that this black qi was a special ability released by the underling!

They tried to use their soul power to observe the situation within the black qi, but were unable to probe it.

However, they didn’t care in the slightest!

"Ah!"

At that moment, a scream echoed.

Scar Face and the others grew even happier!

Because they were sure that the scream just now was definitely Lin Fan’s!

Although the voice of the scream sounded slightly similar to the underling’s, they still didn’t pay it any mind.

The black qi gradually dispersed!

Scar Face and others looked forward with anticipation, eager to see the grisly state of Lin Fan’s death.

A prostrate corpse appeared before everyone’s eyes!

"Hmm?"

When Scar Face and the others saw the prostrate corpse, they were inevitably taken aback.

Because that corpse...

Seemed to be the underling’s?

"Could it really be the underling’s?"

Scar Face and the others were completely stunned!

The next moment, they also found that Lin Fan was still standing there unharmed, his face even bearing a detached smile.

And the underling had been killed by Lin Fan.
