After sprinting for dozens of miles, a large town was just ahead. He turned left and took a small path north, which was where he had hidden his horse. It was at this moment that he stopped, because a figure had appeared in front of him — Liang Kuangren!
"I want your remaining red thread worms. I don't have any spirit stones to give you right now, so I'll give them to you in the future!" Liang Kuangren said casually.
Lou Xiaoyi sighed, but did not avoid it. There were only wrong names, but there were no wrong nicknames. He had originally thought that people like Liang Kuangren, who was brash and unrestrained, would do things more openly than those sanctimonious people.
He guessed right. Liang Kuangren was openly robbing him. It was obvious that he had done this many times before.
When he first entered Xianlai Town, he understood a principle: in the cultivation world, one couldn't rely on one's looks to make a living. However, he didn't understand it thoroughly enough. Now, he understood that while it was detestable to be sanctimonious, it was equally detestable to be blatant. In the face of benefits, whether one was handsome or ugly, openly or secretly, it didn't matter.
He did not try to defend himself, beg for mercy, lie, or stall for time. He knew very well that once Liang Kuangren made his move, all his chances would be for naught. He had no right to negotiate with Liang Kuangren! Life and death were in the hands of others. The more he spoke, the worse it would be!
He took out another bottle from his bag. There were still thirty red thread worms inside. He waved it at Liang Kuangren. When he saw Liang Kuangren nod, he threw the bottle far away.
Liang Kuangren had been in the Jianghu for a long time and was very experienced. He did not catch it directly with his hands, but with his spiritual energy. Just like the Object Manipulation Technique that Lou Xiaoyi bought, he would be able to react to any changes.
Just as he expected, the bottle was as soft as tofu. As soon as he touched it with his spiritual power, the bottle shattered into pieces. Liang Kuangren's face was full of disdain as he shouted, "You sly little thief …"
He retracted his spiritual energy and was about to shatter the bottle fragments. However, there was no explosive or poisonous smoke inside. Instead, thirty rays of red light shot out!
The Red Thread White Sand Worms were the most sensitive to spiritual vigor, and it was their instinct to counterattack by following spiritual vigor. Liang Kuangren's ability to manipulate objects and his own spiritual power made him a formidable foe to the worms. A red light flashed and thirty rays of spiritual power shot into Liang Kuangren's body at a blinding speed!
"Despicable!"
This was the most ridiculous thing Liang Kuangren had ever said in his entire life!
The soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the unreasonable, and the unreasonable is afraid of those who don't care about their lives. These were all true, but there was one last sentence. Those who don't care about their lives are afraid of those who are inexperienced!
He didn't care about anything, didn't beg for mercy, didn't delay, and didn't get angry. He just directly killed!
With Lou Xiaoyi's current cultivation, he could withstand one or two Red Thread Worms at once. At his limit, he could withstand four or five at most. Just like that time in the Gobi, he had almost lost his life.
Of course, Liang Kuangren was much stronger than him. Under normal circumstances, even if he used two or three Red Thread Worms, his limit would not exceed ten.
Now that the spiritual power of thirty Red Thread Worms poured into his body at the same time, his whole body immediately went numb and inflated like a balloon!
Other than channeling and absorbing the spiritual power, he had no other choice. Cultivators had many methods to deal with the influx of spiritual vigor, but that only applied to those who were in the Foundation Establishment Stage and above, not to Qi Eater Cultivators like him. In the real cultivation world, Qi Eater Cultivators were not considered to have truly stepped into Daoism, so their adaptability was limited.
The Dantian of a Qi Eater Cultivator was not yet fully formed, it was only a place to store spiritual power. Only after they had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage would it truly become the core of power and have all kinds of wonderful uses. It was called the Daoist Foundation.
Now that the Daoist Foundation had yet to form, the influx of spiritual vigor was like a huge poison!
Liang Kuangren felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He knew that things were not going well, but his strength was not there, his spiritual vigor was out of control, and his six senses were not clear … In the next moment, he felt a sharp object penetrating his heart chamber, and only then did his spiritual power find a place to vent.
However, it was already too late. Although the spiritual vigor was leaking out, his heart meridian had already been destroyed. Qi Eater Cultivators like him did not have the physical abilities of a true Major Cultivator, they were only slightly stronger than mortals. Now that his heart chamber had been penetrated, it was not only spiritual vigor that leaked out, but also vitality!
He sat down weakly, but he was not very sad or angry. He could kill, and so could others. It was fair and reasonable. He just did not expect that he would fail in front of a new cultivator. He thought that he had died in a siege!
He forced himself to open his eyes, only to see the young man in front of him using his sword to support himself. He swayed a little when he saw the young man looking at him.
"Sorry, I'm dizzy from blood. I've embarrassed myself in front of you!"
Liang Kuangren felt that his life's ideals were collapsing. He really could not understand this young man's strangeness.
After fainting for a few breaths, Lou Xiaoyi recovered and apologized again.
"I'm poor and I still have to search your corpse. Sorry for the offense!"
The young man's hand moved quickly on Liang Kuangren's body. Storage rings, storage pouches, spirit beast pouches, and even the gold and silver of the mortal world were not spared.
Liang Kuangren chuckled. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to use the last of his strength.
"Sorry, I'm vomiting blood. I hope you don't faint!
There's a storage ring sewn into my collar. That's all the wealth I've accumulated in my life. I'll give it all to you! Remember, two heavy and one light. Naturally, you'll avoid it!
You're stronger than me! Young man, when you stop being dizzy from blood, you'll make the entire cultivation world tremble! "
Liang Kuangren had been crazy his whole life. Before he died, he regained his wild and extraordinary side. He did not blame this young man at all. He was the one who started it, but his methods were not as vicious as this young man! Serves him right!
Fortunately, with the death of Liang Kuangren, there was another young madman in the world!
My legacy is not lonely!
After Lou Xiaoyi was done searching, he thought for a moment. He went behind Liang Kuangren's body, which was still in a sitting position, and cut off his collar. This was because he was afraid that there might be a trap!
Then, he threw everything into his small bag. Without caring about the corpse, he determined the direction and fled again!
He had wanted to take away all the red thread worms, but they immediately burrowed into the ground and disappeared. He did not know how long they could survive after leaving the desert. He could not care too much about that.
He could not care about the corpse! He did not have the ability to burn it down with a flame, nor did he have the time to dig a hole to bury it. He could just leave these superficial matters to the mortal world's authorities. He would not put himself in danger for the sake of so-called morality and benevolence!
Liang Kuangren's body sat upright on the main road, facing the direction of Town of Immortals. Blood flowed all over the ground, but there was no malevolence on his face. There was only relief.
Soon, passersby saw this horrifying scene. They did not dare to move the corpse and could only run away to report it to the authorities. However, before the authorities could arrive, a few figures moved quickly and appeared in front of Liang Kuangren's corpse.
After quickly inspecting Liang Kuangren's corpse, a middle-aged cultivator said regretfully,
"We were too late! Someone beat us to it! All his belongings have been plundered. It looks like it's a double-cross. However, to be able to kill Liang Kuangren so easily without any signs of resistance, could it be … Crane Mountain? "
