The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 146 The Soft Heart of Hu Xiandao
All of the realm cultivators of rank 2 Elite Warriors felt anger in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything because the bald one looked like a very strong person. Even if a group of them were grouped together, they would only be sheep to slaughter.
“I won't join this exploration anymore. Goodbye to.”
“I too. I don't want to use my life to trade the unknown. I'd better get back to Green Wood City.”
A few of the 2nd rank Elite Warriors voiced their thoughts. None of them wanted to become cannon fodder, so they could only choose to leave. Who would want to trade their life for something uncertain? Not to mention that mysterious cave might be very dangerous.
Everyone frowned when they heard those low-level cultivators speak, but none of them stopped them from leaving.
That time…
“Do I give you permission to go?” The bald man's face darkened as he glanced at those low-level cultivators with disdain. He was a 7th rank Emperor realm expert, so he did not take it seriously.
After hearing his cold words, the low-level cultivators who originally wanted to leave suddenly stopped in their tracks. They could not help but look at the bald man in fear while holding their weapons tightly.
When he saw their actions, the bald man burst into laughter. “Friends, please lead while I'm still in a good mood.”
His threatening words reverberated in everyone's minds, making them feel a little anxious. The only thing that comforted them was the fact that this bald man seemed to be a single cultivator. However, their vigilance towards this bald man was still very high.
“Master, this is the territory of Greeb Wood City! No one can force us if we want to go!”
“It's true! You may be strong, but do you have the guts to ignore the rules of Green Wood City?”
The bald man became angry when he heard their dissatisfied voice. He then sneered at them. “Rules? Do you think I care about some very few rules? Since you guys are tired of living, there is no point in making you live again!”
After saying those words, the bald man pounced towards the low-level cultivator and raised his fist in the air causing violent fluctuations in the surroundings.
His sudden attack shocked everyone around and they did not even have a chance to stop him.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
And just like that, the bald man started a murder without any hesitation expression on his pair of obsidian-like dark eyes that seemed to contain traces of cruelty on his already brutal face.
Those 2nd rank Elite Warriors did not even survive after a single blow from him before their bodies were smashed to pieces. Blood and broken bones were strewn across the grassy field, painting a deep red color on this beautiful green plant.
The bald man's eyes flickered with savagery as he killed those low-level cultivators, while the other warriors could only look on in surprise. No one dared to offer help to those pitiful cultivators because everyone was afraid of this man's ruthless nature.
“You devil! Stopit! The City Lord of Green Wood City decisively forbade killing in his territory! If this is known to him, you will definitely be punished by him!” A middle-aged man with rough facial features glanced fearfully at the bald man's face as he grabbed his bloody left shoulder that no longer had an arm attached to it. He grimaced in pain and his skin was already pale. If not for him being a rank 2 Elite Warrior, he would have already fainted from losing a lot of blood.
Walking towards the bald man was a towering figure with protruding and smooth muscles. His head was covered by long wavy red hair and there was also a cold tinge in his eyes. If Jiu Shen was here, then, he would definitely recognize this man because this was none other than Hu Xiandao who previously only had one hand but luckily had regrowed his severed limbs with the help of Body Reforging Heaven Pill Jiu Shen.
Currently, Hu Xiandao was already an expert at the early stage of the 8th rank heavenly realm in terms of physical body strength, he said, and his aura that had gone through countless bloody battles in the cruel and gloomy Mythos Wildlands involuntarily gushed out from his body.
The bald man immediately smiled warmly when he saw Hu Xiandao stepping out for those low-level cultivators. He could not see the exact level of strength of Hu Xiandao, but somehow he could still feel his powerful and oppressive aura. With this, he no longer dared to continue his madness and suddenly stopped his killing.
“Because this friend has spoken, of course I will take a step back, but these guys must lead the way for us in the cave.” The bald man smiled at Hu Xiandao as he cupped his fists at the latter to show his respect.
Hu Xiandao nodded his head at his greeting but he frowned when he heard the bald man's words. “Friends, although letting them lead the way in is indeed a good idea, but I don't like using other people's lives to get what I want.” Hu Xiandao shook his head calmly and glanced at the low-level cultivators.
“Go. This place is not something that can be casually entered by people like you. Only death awaits you inside.”
After hearing the clear warning from Hu Xiandao, the low-level cultivators no longer hesitated and left one by one after expressing their sincere thanks to him. They also did not forget to glare at the bald man before they left the place.
The bald man felt somewhat humiliated from being ignored by Hu Xiandao. All his life, he had never been treated like this, so he was really angry in his heart. However, he was wary of Hu Xiandao's strength so he did not dare to act rashly, and he could only force a slanted smile.
“Friends, may I have the honor of knowing your name?” The bald man asked while hiding his displeasure in his heart.
Hu Xiandao directed his gaze at him and replied in a cold tone. “Hu Xiandao.” After mentioning his name, Hu Xiandao turned around and returned to his place.
The bald man's eyes flickered in anger after seeing Hu Xiandao's demeanor, but he forcefully suppressed his anger and snorted coldly.
Hu Xiandao sighed as he looked at the bloody remains of those who died. At first, he did not want to help them, but after seeing their firm determination and pitiful face, Hu Xiandao's gentle nature immediately appeared. ‘It looks like I have to postpone my return to the Wine Master Jiu store. I hope he will not be disappointed with my actions. I can't miss this opportunity or I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.’
He was supposed to return to Beltran City after sending his message to Mythos Wildlands, but he had accidentally heard rumors about this cave from the residents of Green Wood City. And as a man with great ideals, he immediately decided to look at this place, but who knew that before he could even enter into the mysterious cave, he had to go, he would really see this brutal scene. Although those who had died were only strangers with weak cultivation bases, Hu Xiandao did not want to see them die just for a simple reason. That was also the reason why he decided to intervene.
Now, the situation was back just like a few minutes ago, but everyone was getting impatient, so some brave group decided to run towards the cave. This instantly caught the attention of the crowd, and not long after, many others went to the cave after seeing that those people arrived safely inside.
Boss Scar and the others also followed behind the crowd but their faces were grim and alert as if they were ready for a surprise attack. They had seen how the bald man had killed those low-level cultivators without the slightest hesitation. This action made Boss Scar and the others feel an immense fear in their hearts, making them a little nervous as they walked into the cave.
“Brothers, we should all unite at this time. I'm afraid this trip is a lot harder than our last mission. I'm sorry for getting you involved in this. Sigh!” Boss Scar sighed and shook his head regretfully. He was the one who suggested to go to this place to calm down, but he did not think that it was actually very dangerous …
Liu Xiufeng and the others shook their heads bitterly, but they did not blame Boss Scar for this as his intentions were good.
“Bos, why are you apologizing? We all agreed to complete this mission and it is not your own choice.” Liu Xiufeng chuckled as he lightly slapped Boss Scar's back with a smile on his face, while the others nodded in agreement.
Boss Scar felt a surge of warmth in his heart after seeing the comforting gazes of his friends, and he immediately swore in his heart that he would protect them at any cost!
