Bai Chi led the way, Lu Xuan followed behind him, and the burly man walked at the back. The three of them entered the ruined temple one after another.
As soon as they stepped into the ruined temple, Lu Xuan realized that something was wrong. This was because he saw a girl, but this girl's hands were behind her back and she was tied to a pillar. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hatred, immediately destroying this beauty. Her hateful gaze was staring at the three of them. Obviously, she thought that Lu Xuan was in cahoots with these two people.
Upon seeing this, Lu Xuan's vigilance rose and he quickly retreated to the side, escaping from the pincer attack of Bai Chi and the burly man. At the same time, the Star Shattering Sword that he had just obtained instantly jumped out of his storage ring and into his hand. He stared at the two people with a serious expression.
Lu Xuan was not stupid. With one look, he knew that this girl was definitely being held hostage by Bai Chi and the burly man. These two people were definitely not good people!
"Mister Bai, what is the meaning of this?" Lu Xuan asked in a low voice.
Lu Xuan's quick reaction was somewhat out of Bai Chi's expectations. However, he did not panic. After successfully luring Lu Xuan out of the city, coupled with the burly man beside him, he no longer had any worries.
"A Treasure Level Weapon! Big brother, this is not a small fat sheep, this is a big fat sheep! Haha! "The burly man's face was filled with greed as he looked at the Star Shattering Sword in Lu Xuan's hand.
Upon hearing this, Bai Chi's gaze also fell on the Star Shattering Sword. A trace of joy immediately flashed across his face. Originally, he only wanted to make some money before he left. He did not expect that he would actually obtain a big fat sheep. How could a person who could possess a Treasure Level Sword be ordinary?
The sudden change in the situation, coupled with the conversation of the few people, caused the tied up girl to be slightly stunned. Soon after, she reacted. The young man who had just entered was obviously not in cahoots with these two people. Instead, he was the same as her, being held hostage by these two people.
At that moment, she no longer hesitated and decisively shouted at Lu Xuan: "Quickly run, these two are bad people, the white clothed one has the strength of a 9th Body Refinement Level!"
The woman's reminder infuriated the burly man. He turned around and roared at her fiercely, "What are you shouting for? If you shout again, I'll kill you!"
However, the woman was not afraid at all. She looked as if she was unafraid of death and said, "Kill me if you can!"
As if he had thought of something, the burly man snorted and ignored her. He looked at Lu Xuan again, and as he thought about his next harvest, a sinister smile appeared on his face.
Lu Xuan didn't run, because he couldn't escape even if he wanted to. In this dilapidated temple, other than the main entrance, there were no other exits, and the main entrance was already blocked by the burly man. It was impossible to break through in a short time.
Moreover, the young girl's warning had caused Lu Xuan to be secretly shocked. Although he'd expected that Bai Chi wouldn't only be at the 7th level of Body Refinement, he hadn't expected that Bai Chi had actually attained the 9th level of Body Refinement!
The 9th Body Refinement Level, this was definitely the strongest opponent Lu Xuan had met so far. Even Xu Wenyang was only at the 8th Body Refinement Level.
"Young hero Lu, an ordinary man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime. You are only at the 6th Body Refinement Level, yet you are actually able to enter the second floor of the Heaven Blade Shop. How can people not be envious?" Bai Chi said with a smile. Just like before, there was no trace of malevolence on his face. It was as if he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. Right now, the situation was completely under his control. He thought that a mere sixth rank Body Refinement cultivator, Lu Xuan, had no way of resisting in front of him.
Not to mention, there was also the burly man at the side. Although the burly man's strength could not compare to his, he was still at the advanced 8th Body Refinement Level, a full two stages higher than Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan's heart slightly sunk. In the end, he was still too inexperienced. He had originally thought that by stopping shopkeeper Yang from sending him down, he would be able to avoid being noticed. However, he never expected that he would already be watched the moment he ascended the stairs.
From the looks of it, everything that Bai Chi had done was to lure him out. He had purposely bumped into him. As for the remains of an expert, it was likely that he had fabricated it.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Xuan asked as he tightly gripped the sword in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.
Before Bai Chi could speak, the burly man viciously smiled and said: "What am I going to do? Have you heard of killing people to steal their treasures? Naturally, I'm going to kill you and take your things. Such a small child, yet you dare to bring such a valuable treasure out alone, you are truly seeking death. "
Bai Chi also unhurriedly opened his mouth and said: "If it was any other day, I might not have targeted you. However, this time I have some matters to attend to and before I leave, I naturally need to gather some travel expenses."
"Looks like it will be difficult for me to escape death?" Lu Xuan coldly smiled.
Bai Chi pretended to sigh and said: "I am not a bloodthirsty person. Originally, I only wanted to take your things and perhaps spare your life. Unfortunately, you are seeking your own death. Along the way, you have been constantly on guard against me, causing me to have no suitable opportunity to make a move. I could only bring you to this broken temple. Now, since you have already seen this girl, no matter what, I cannot let you live. I will reluctantly make another killing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xuan sneered incessantly in his heart. It was not certain who would be the one to kill who!
Right when he circulated his Origin Energy and was about to take the initiative to attack, the tied up young girl suddenly sighed and said with a pleasant voice: "Spare him. I will do my best to cooperate with the two of you on the way. What do you think?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Chi and the burly man were slightly stunned. They did not know why the young girl who would rather die than submit earlier was suddenly willing to cooperate with them.
Even Lu Xuan restrained his thoughts of attacking. He felt that he had never met this young girl before and never expected that she would actually speak up for him.
Bai Chi lightly laughed: "Young Miss Zhang, you would rather die than submit earlier. Why have you suddenly changed your mind now? Or is it because of this kid? Could it be that Young Miss Zhang has fallen in love with Young Hero Lu's handsome appearance? "
"Dammit, is being handsome so popular? I will not let you have your way today. This kid must die! " The burly man's face was filled with anger as he spoke. Lu Xuan glanced at him. This fellow's face was fierce-looking and his appearance was truly unflattering. He had probably been rejected by a woman when he was young and his heart had become slightly twisted.
After being spoken to like this by the two of them, Young Miss Zhang's face turned slightly red. She then coldly snorted and said: "Do you think everyone is as deranged as the two of you? Saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. I am being held hostage by you no matter what. If I follow your wishes and can save a life, then it will be worth it. "
Lu Xuan looked at her in astonishment and thought to himself, There are indeed many good people in this world. This young girl's heart is rather pure and she is even willing to help a complete stranger like me. It is truly rare.
"Young Miss Zhang is indeed kind-hearted." Bai Chi still had that enchanting smile on his face. He did not look like a bad person at all. Lu Xuan was deceived by his appearance. If it was this burly man who invited him before, he would not have so easily agreed.
Bai Chi continued to speak: "However, I can satisfy your other requests, but I cannot agree to this. If I let this kid go and he runs off to inform the Liu Clan, I'm afraid that Stupid Bear and I will be in a difficult situation. Does Young Miss Zhang think that I will cause trouble for myself?"
Hearing Bai Chi's words, Lu Xuan was even more confused. Wasn't Young Miss Zhang's surname Zhang? Even if he wanted to inform someone, he should have informed the Zhang Clan. Why did the Liu Clan suddenly appear? He really did not understand.
"Then you can bring him along. Don't let him leave." Young Miss Zhang still tried to help Lu Xuan.
"This girl really likes this kid. If we bring him along, wouldn't it be perfect for you guys to flirt with each other? Big Brother, don't talk nonsense with her. Just kill this kid and let's go. If the Liu Clan finds out that we robbed them on the way, we won't be able to bear the consequences." The burly man called Stupid Bear shouted.
"Don't argue, let me think." Bai Chi was a little hesitant. He frowned and thought that this girl's suggestion was not bad. The reason why he wanted to kill Lu Xuan was because he was worried that Lu Xuan would tell on them. If bringing Lu Xuan along could make this girl obediently cooperate with them, then it was not a bad idea. After all, this matter could not be done without her cooperation.
Seeing that Bai Chi seemed to be convinced by the girl and had the thought of letting Lu Xuan go, Stupid Bear became a little anxious.
When he was young, the woman he loved was snatched away by a man who was far more talented and good-looking than he was. Of course, that was just what he thought. In reality, the man and woman were in love with each other. However, that did not affect his thoughts. Therefore, he hated handsome and talented men the most in his life. There was no doubt that Lu Xuan had both of those qualities.
Therefore, he made up his mind. He didn't care about Bai Chi's thoughts at all. He waved his sword and directly attacked Lu Xuan. His moves were big and powerful.
Luckily, Lu Xuan had been on guard against these two. He didn't let his guard down even though Young Miss Zhang had pleaded for him. Although Stupid Bear's attack was sudden, in Lu Xuan's eyes, it was just an ordinary attack.
He waved his Star Shattering Sword and a soft sound of thunder could be heard. The first move of the Lightning Sword Art had been used and quickly clashed with Stupid Bear.
Stupid Bear's sudden attack immediately woke Bai Chi from his thoughts. The girl was also shocked. She didn't think that Stupid Bear, who had always listened to Bai Chi, would not listen to him this time.
"Bai, quickly stop him! If you kill him again, I will rather die than cooperate with you. "Young Miss Zhang said anxiously.
Stupid Bear, who was fighting with Lu Xuan, also shouted, "Big Brother, I must kill this brat. If you want to keep him, then just stab me to death with your spear!"
In the end, Bai Chi sighed in the face of the stupid bear's threat of death. He naturally knew what the stupid bear was thinking. Moreover, the stupid bear had always listened to him, so he really couldn't refuse such a small request.
