章 10: Crazy Woman! What have you done?
Just as he closed in, he sensed something was not right. With his exceptional perception, he could feel tension in the air, and it didn't take him long to discover two beasts staring at each other.
Other than them, his intuition warned him of someone or something in the dark. vaguely, he could feel spying eyes in the dark, but no sense of threat.
Even so, he did not seem to be in a hurry to make a move. He wanted to understand the situation down there.
At the moment he was standing up on the trees and could escape the detection of the two beasts. Once he descended, things would be different. Besides, he did not know if the monsters were going all out.
To reach his current level, his careful nature played a role, other than the system.
This is a dangerous world and things like the rule of law have little impact. For someone like Li Xin, it was his strength and prudence that allowed even the Mystic Pavilion to develop to its current state.
Looking down carefully, with his eyesight that was enhanced due to martial arts practice, he could see a fruit hanging on a tree.
Beside the fruit, seemed to be an inconspicuous purple grass, but the moment he set his eyes on it, he could tell it was much more valuable.
Without even getting hold of them he seemed to be making plans on the fruit and grass.
"Oh! Treasure fruit? What a surprise. It indeed is a big surprise. Without it, how could I have realized some beasts in this world have started to develop some intelligence. Though I can't tell by how much, this two beasts are clearly spiritual." He thought as he looked into the eyes of the beasts.
He looked even more cautiously towards the place where the grass was located.
He did not believe with such a treasure, nothing was easy to take. He didn't plan on becoming a stepping stone for anyone.
But even so, the rule of the jungle is that the strong decide, and in this case, he was sure to retreat with the two even in the worst-case scenario.
Without even wasting time, he descended with a saber in his right hand. When he landed, he did not even look at the monsters, rather just slashed at them.
His speed was fast, one could only see a flash, and he appeared beside the grass, uprooted it, and then turned toward the fruit.
When the monsters discovered the action of the human, they became angry, but he jad already plucked the fruit.
The moment he did this, even the eyes hidden in the dark seemed to exude some killing intent and this hostility wad detected by him.
With a step, he retreated five steps back, and the sound of something learning the air could be heard.
He did not stay on the ground but rather swiftly moved up the tree standing at the very top.
The purple grass was covered with internal energy, while the fruit was held in the same hand.
Looking in the distance, he did not even change his expression as he knew the enemies would come for him.
And just as he had guessed, in no time, the sound of branches rustling could be heard.
Two old figures appeared in his line of sight, one was holding onto a sword. The other seemed to be the one with the hidden weapons that had just sneak attacked him.
"Young people these days are so bold. Little doll, put down this old man's treasures and get the hell out of this place fast, perhaps this old man can spare your life." The old man with a sword spoke righteously.
"Jie! Jie!Jie!... Little brat! You were lucky to escape my attack just now. But I wonder how many times you can maintain that luck?" The other old man seemed too well dressed but used poisonous means.
Even the words from his mouth made it possible for one to see he was not some good thing.
But instead of looking at these two Li Xin was still concerned as he was sure these two monsters were not the cause it the beast tide.
"What is going on? But well, it is none of my business. Let's clear this out and leave this place." With this thought in mind, he turned towards the two old men and said, "I have no time to play with you two. Either you retreat, or your heads are left behind."
He completely disregarded them, or to be more specific, he had no interest in the two of them because he could not feel any sense of threat.
He also did not feel pressure, compared to the beasts on the ground, these two were too weak.
He had reached this conclusion and wanted them to retreat instead of blocking his path.
With the current situation, he felt it was dangerous to be in this forest as such he was not interested in taking the time to travel anymore.
With nonstop travel, they could reach their destination in less than a day.
But the fight was inevitable, the old men before him seemed to be insulted by his words and could not retreat.
More importantly, the two items he had picked up seemed to be very useful to either of them.
Seeing that QinZhi had arrived, he signed. This woman followed him eventually. He couldn't let her arrive before he took care of this people or she might really become a weakness.
"Arrogant!" the two men almost shouted at the same time. Based on Li Xin's appearance, he was not someone who seemed to have accomplished much in martial arts, and at this level, it was indeed impossible to know the strength of the other party before a fight.
Legends, however, said that those who have reached the 8th stage of their techniques could suppress others without even moving.
It is a legend as such difficult to meet them, and certain mountains are rumored to have such existences and even he dared not venture into there.
Seeing how this old man was rushing toward him, he sighed but still didn't plan on going all out, after all it might just attact some danger his way.
He was sure the uneasy he felt wasn't some illusion. Since it was so, he had to be measured.
He just vanished from their line of sight, and they could see something whining towards their bodies.
The next time they regained their senses, they realized that multiple wounds were on their bodies.
They had been crushed in one move and on the ground, even the two beasts that were angry and rearing to go seemed to be confused seeing the humans collapsing.
But Li Xin did not waste his time, rather he retraced his movements back. "Let's go. This forest gives me a bad feeling," he spoke to QinZhi who was still in a daze.
These beasts were on the same level as Li Xin, but he easily suppressed them, and the sense of danger seemed like an alarm clock going off in his head, how dare he delay.
That move he had used even though she could not see what had happened, she just knew it was cool.
But hearing the way he had spoken they retreated fast, and upon reaching the carriage, they set off immediately.
In the carriage, Li Xin did not head back to sleep, rather was awake and looking around for any unexpected development.
"Here! This should be able to increase your internal energy to make up for your foundation." As he spoke, he threw the fruit to her.
But QinZhi did not seem to take it seriously and bit the fruit right away.
Witnessing this, his mouth twitched and she asked, "What is wrong?"
"Crazy woman! What have you done?" He sighed helplessly.
