Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 170: Traveling across the Road is Ruled by Might
The economic development of Cangbei City is ordinary. Although it should be at the same level of urban classification as Star City, the development and construction of urban areas and its districts are much lower than Star City. Although the female driver took Tang Xiu to the best five-star hotel in the city, but after she entered the hotel, she felt that the hotel was not even up to the four-star standard.
Of course, the price here is also much cheaper.
Both sides of Cangbei City are surrounded by hills and water. Clearly, this caused his geographical location on the mainland to be rather far away. In the morning of the next day, Tang Xiu had breakfast in the hotel's dining room after he had taken a shower, after which, he met the taxi of the female driver who had come to pick him up.
“How long do we need to travel to Qingshan City from here?” Ask Tang Xiu.
“Almost two and a half hours. Although the distance was not too far away, the path was quite rough. The government has been screaming all day, saying that the road from here to there will be built. It's been a few years, I think. But they haven't done anything yet. If the road is smooth, the distance of one hundred to two hundred kilometers should be easy to reach in driving a little more than an hour, “ said the female driver with a smile.
Tang Xiu slightly nodded. After he thought for a moment, he suddenly asked, “I heard that there is a Sky Cave there, is it real?”
For a moment, the female driver was shocked. Then, she seemed to wake up immediately as she scanned Tang Xiu's eyes afterward. With a beaming smile, he then said with a smile, “My sister, I guess you will go to Qingshan City to visit the Sky Cave, right? You should listen to Big Sis, lest you endanger yourself there! This Sky Cave was located in a remote area in the mountains and ancient forest. The mountain path was extremely steep, with vipers and ferocious beasts preying on and filled with poison and swamps. Many people had ventured into the mountains, and they had never come out! And every year, the next visitor finds the bones of the dead, many. ”
Tang Xiu curiously said, “This Primeforest mountain range is a kind of large mountain range in the country, then why would the local government not think of developing it into a beautiful site? Today, in every part of our country, if one place has only a few beautiful sites, the authorities deliberately build tourist attractions there. In the hope of attracting a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to help boost the economic development of the region. Why didn't Cangbei City exploit the capital they had? ”
The female driver replied with a forced smile, “Yes, I said the three most appropriate words to describe the authority in Cangbei City.”
“Hah? Which three words? “Ask Tang Xiu.
“DO NOT ACT!”
The driver said frankly.
Tang Xiu could not help but laugh. The female driver said it in a simple way, but the meaning carried with her expression was very clear and made her wail. With regards to this, he recalled the words Yuan Chuling had said to him, which he could clearly remember until now:
“In relation to government officials, they are not worried about committing corrupt acts that are greedy. Just like all the crows in the world, they were all blackened because this was what had to be promoted in their organization. If someone wants to stay clean and not become self-corrupt, whoever they are, they will find themselves in trouble. Some of these corrupt officials simply carry out their boss's orders, while others do so out of their own interests. Of these two kinds of bureaucrats, the latter was the most disgusting. ”
Tang Xiu did not want to continue the chatter about the matter with the local government, so he smiled and shook his head as he shifted his vision out the window. The taxi drove very fast, and it took only half an hour to leave downtown Cangbei to the country road. Without spending much effort, they had already arrived at the end of a road that was wide enough, as a pebbled road was visible in front.
“Ugh, every time I take this road, it gives me a headache.”
Female drivers are definitely not the solitary type. Not long after their conversation ended, he started talking again.
Tang Xiu, on the other hand, did not want to chat anymore. As he sat in the back row and looked at the female driver driving, he said, “I want to rest for a while. Wake me up when we have arrived in Qingshan City. ”
“Ah, do you want to sleep? You didn't have a good rest last night? “The woman's driver was surprised and asked.
“Mmm!” Tang Xiu hummed, confirming it.
The female driver said with a laugh, “Ah, right. It was past 10pm when you arrived in Cangbei City last night. When checking in to the hotel, taking a shower, and then going to bed, you can only sleep until 12 am. And you have to get up early in the morning too, so it would be weird if you didn't feel sleepy. By the way, rest until this Big Brother yells wake you up, Little Sister! ”
“Thank you very much!”
Tang Xiu replied and then slowly closed his eyes.
He slept very late last night. It was not 12am but about 2am or 3am. After all, no matter how busy he was each day, he was determined to allocate time for cultivating. Although the Star Force increase within his body was not too much, he was still able to accumulate it, albeit quite slowly. One day, when his condition was ripe, he would naturally succeed and breakthrough to the Late Stage of Skin Strengthening.
Time passed …
The sudden brake sound made Tang Xiu suddenly wake up from his deep sleep.
“Ugh, what happened?”
Tang Xiu's body was thrown forward. If it wasn't for his quick reaction, he would have smashed his head into the back of the front seat. After opening his eyes, he frowned and immediately asked.
The color of the female driver's skin has changed to white as a restless expression can be seen from her eyes. With an astringent expression, he turned his head and replied, “We fared badly! I didn't expect that we would meet street robbers in broad daylight. ”
Tang Xiu looked out through the window. He immediately noticed that three vans were circling the taxi after stopping. There were also four or five large stones blocking the road about seven or eight meters in front of the taxi.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Tang Xiu quickly found. The road had a three-forks junction at the front and the three vans were supposed to have long been parked on either side of the intersection, waiting for passing cars. As soon as the car passes, they will immediately drive the car in and out of the car to stop it. And those four or five stones might be thrown into the street for this temporary use.
“Regional governments really don't act!”
Sighing deeply, Tang Xiu actually, did not feel very anxious. When he saw the brave men coming out of the three vans with knives in their hands, he calmly said, “You wait in the car, I'll come out and see them.”
The female driver quickly said, “My sister, don't rush at them. These people usually just want money. As long as you give them money, your security will be guaranteed. But if you fight them, they will not hesitate to crush you cruelly! ”
Tang Xiu did not answer. He opened the door and went down. And then looked at the fierce-looking big man as he said, “You drove down the road, playing robber?”
In front of over ten big men was a bald man with thick golden chains around his neck and a grim blade scar on his left cheek that looked like a centipede. He held the mountain knife, while laughing grimly and said, “Hehe, you know our business, eh? Because you know that we're playing here, obey and take all your money and valuables. Maybe, you'll make us happy brothers and you'll save yourself from a broken leg! ”
For a moment, Tang Xiu was silent. Then, he slowly said, “Have you ever heard the saying that, the bad guys will be punished by evil?”
The big bald man stared blankly for a moment, then laughed out loud before he replied, “You mean, you are also evil? And you have to teach us a lesson or something? ”
Tang Xiu lifted his thumb and praised with a sigh, “Ah, because you can understand it well, so I guess you are smart. But it's unfortunate. The path you take is not a good one, and your brain is filled with twisted ideas. Today, on behalf of your parents, I'll help them educate you well. So that makes you completely atone for your mistakes and helps their lost sons change new lives. ”
“Pfft .. Hahaha ..”
Dozens of big men and the big bald man laughed wildly. Even some of the big men around were also smiling amidst their laughter, looking at Tang Xiu as if they were looking at an idiot.
After a long while, the big bald man stopped laughing. He watched Tang Xiu as he hooked his fingers and said with a smile, “Nak, do you know what people call me? The Scarblade Qiang! Even the people on the street are calling me Brother Qiang! How's it? Have you heard of Big Brother? ”
Shaking his head, Tang Xiu replied, “I am only a hick and have a shallow experience. The name doesn't ring a bell, really. Are you that famous? ”
One of the big men grinned and said with a smile, “Famous? Much more famous! Brother Qiang really has a reputation outside. You are a very wise boy. You know yourself as a rustic hick so it's only natural that you don't know. ”
“No, I must deny your words. I don't think he's really famous. You want to know why? “Tang Xiu said and shook his head.
“Hah? Wh why? ”The big man replied with a confused expression.
“So to say, the shot will hit the birds that gouged out his head. So, if he was really famous, the police might have already arrested him. Public security here may be bad, but I don't think that the police will tolerate famous people acting too rampant, do they? “Tang Xiu replied with an unenthusiastic response.
“You punk! You are specifically seeking your own death! “The big man became angry and pointed his knife towards Tang Xiu.
Scarblade Qiang waved his hand to stop the big man. As he narrowed his eyes to observe Tang Xiu, he lightly said, “Son, I admire your ball, really. Facing and speaking frankly with us with such confidence, it means you are not ordinary. Are you also one of us? Tell these brothers your name. ”
“I told you that I came from the countryside, didn't I?” Said Tang Xiu.
Scarblade Qiang stared intently into Tang Xiu's eyes. When a hint of his evil-looking smile appeared on his face, he said, “You have a chance, but you didn't take it. If so, our brothers will no longer be polite. Get all your stuff out, and drag the driver into the taxi! You all have to take all your money to pay. Else, you will drown in a bloody disaster today! ”
With a cold and detached expression, Tang Xiu replied, “I threw these words back to you! Give me all your wealth, otherwise blame me if I mess you up! Also, take off the dog chain around your neck, your watch, and give all your money and valuables to Me! ”
Scarblade Qiang stared blankly for a moment, and even the ten great men around him were dumbfounded as well.
However, just a few seconds later, they reacted. As anger hung on their respective faces, they aggressively charged at Tang Xiu.
A cold and gloomy expression appeared on Tang Xiu's face. Looking at the slashing blade that came into his face, his legs flickered and instantly dodged it with a strand of hair. His fists simultaneously hit the bridge of the man's nose. Although he did not use much strength, but the punch was enough to crush the man's nose.
“Peng, peng ..”
Tang Xiu was as if a brave tiger, while those big men were as gentle as sheep. When a tiger hit a flock of sheep, the end result was clearly visible.
In just seven or eight breaths, dozens of large men had already been knocked down by Tang Xiu. Each of them was like a shrimp that rolled on the ground, wailing and screaming in pain.
Scarblade Qiang had yet to act. Now, he was the only one still intact and stood perfectly. His disciples were contracted, while an expression of disbelief flashed from his eyes as he looked at Tang Xiu as if he was looking at a terrifying monster.
He had seen many martial arts masters, but that was frightening he had never seen before! At this moment, he even suspected himself that if he did not dream now, then, could it be that Tang Xiu in front of him was a retired special forces soldier? Super soldier command?
