Chapter 6

  • The beast was a tiger—massive, with a hanging neck and white forehead, more than a meter high and three meters long. Before it reached him, its fierce aura rushed toward him like a wave, and its roar echoed through the trees.
  • Lu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly. He took a deep breath, his body swayed, and he stepped aside. Then his qi circulated—starting from his feet, then reaching his waist and spine—stimulating the strength of his whole body as he punched out.
  • Flame Dragon Fist!
  • Bump!
  • The punch hit the tiger's neck hard. The power exploded, and the tiger was directly rolled away.
  • Roar!
  • The tiger felt the pain, became more ferocious, and roared at Lu Ming again. It lunged, claws extended, jaws gaping.
  • Lu Ming used the Dragon Snake Step, twisting his body to avoid the tiger's attack. Then he hit the tiger's waist with the Flame Dragon Fist. The tiger was hit and fell out again.
  • Lu Ming practiced the divine-level technique "True Dragon Fighting Technique." The true energy he cultivated moved through his meridians like a dragon and was extremely explosive. Although his cultivation was at the peak of the mid-term Tongmai, his explosive power was definitely not comparable to the average mid-term Tongmai peak.
  • Combined with the Flame Dragon Fist, the power of his punch was now at least nearly a thousand kilograms. The tiger, hit twice, was seriously injured, blood dripping from its mouth. It roared and turned to run.
  • Lu Ming chased after it.
  • A few minutes later, the tiger escaped into a cave. Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, then chased after it.
  • Entering the cave, he found the tiger lying on the ground, blood dripping from its mouth, already dying.
  • "Huh? That's the first-grade low-grade elixir Silver Bell Grass!" Lu Ming's eyes lit up. In a crevice in the cave, he saw a spiritual grass with nine leaves—each leaf shaped like a bell.
  • Spiritual grass was divided into nine levels, and each level was divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. The first-grade Silver Bell Grass contained huge spiritual energy and was worth three hundred taels of silver—comparable to three Dragon Tiger Pills.
  • He hadn't expected to gain something like this so soon after entering the Monster Mountain Range. This trip was well worth it.
  • He killed the tiger with one punch, then took out a backpack he had prepared, picked off the Silver Bell Grass, and put it into the backpack.
  • "Brother Feng, do you really know a path leading to the Sand Snake's lair?" A voice suddenly came from outside the cave.
  • Lu Ming's mind moved. He held his breath and listened carefully.
  • "Haha, of course. I spent a lot of energy to get a concubine of the leader of the Sand Snake Bandits. Later, I learned about this trail from the mouth of that slut. If it weren't for us having the best relationship, I wouldn't bring you here." Another voice sounded.
  • From what he heard, both of them were young people.
  • "I knew that Brother Feng, you are so handsome and charming. No woman can stop your charm, Brother Feng." The first voice was flattering.
  • "Haha!" Brother Feng seemed to be very proud. "There is a cave here. Let's take a rest here first and wait for the family master and others to fight with the Sand Snake. Then we will sneak into the Sand Snake's lair. The Sand Snake—the thief leader's treasures—are all ours."
  • Two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old walked into the cave. As soon as they entered, they saw Lu Ming.
  • "Lu Ming, is it you? Why are you here?" One of the young men, a boy with a mole on his face, exclaimed.
  • "People from the Li family." Lu Ming was also stunned.
  • He knew these two young men—they were young children of Li Ping's natal family, the Li family. One was called Li Feng, who was quite handsome, and the young man with a black mole was called Li Fei.
  • "Lu Ming, did you hear what I just said?" Li Feng stared at Lu Ming with a gloomy expression.
  • Lu Ming said, "Just think you heard it!"
  • "Lu Ming, since you heard it, it's your bad luck." Li Feng's eyes revealed murderous intent.
  • "You want to kill me?" Lu Ming's face darkened.
  • "Lu Ming, remember to be smarter in the next life. Don't run around like a loser. Otherwise, you will easily get killed." Li Feng's voice was cold, with disdain in his tone.
  • "Brother Feng, why do you need to take action? I'll kill him." Li Fei stepped forward without taking Lu Ming seriously.
  • Although the two of them also saw the corpse of the tiger in the cave, they did not think that it was killed by Lu Ming. They just thought that it was killed by other beasts or monsters. They still didn't know what level Lu Ming was.
  • Li Feng nodded. "Well, let's make a quick decision and solve this waste. Let's take a rest quickly."
  • "Brother Feng, don't worry. We can solve it with one move." Li Fei smiled ferociously and grabbed Lu Ming's throat with one claw.
  • Li Fei, with his cultivation in the middle stage of Tongmai, had opened up five meridians. This claw had at least five hundred kilograms of strength. If this claw could hold firmly, Lu Ming would be seriously injured even if he did not die.
  • "Since you want to kill me, I have to kill you first." Lu Ming whispered. Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, his body moved, and he punched out.
  • Flame Dragon Fist!
  • This punch came first and hit Li Fei directly on the chest.
  • Bump!
  • Li Fei was like a sack, knocked out and hitting the wall of the cave heavily. Blood spurted from his mouth, and then he lost his breath.
  • Li Fei was killed by Lu Ming with one punch.
  • "You... you killed Li Fei? How is that possible?" Li Feng's eyes widened with disbelief. "Aren't you a waste? You can actually kill Li Fei?"
  • "Trash? Haha, then shall I, this 'trash,' send you on your way?" Lu Ming sneered.
  • "Send me on my way? It's ridiculous. I have opened up eight meridians. Can you kill me? Do you think I am Li Fei? Go to hell!" Li Feng calmed down, took out his sword, and stabbed Lu Ming.
  • However, Li Feng was just an ordinary warrior. His martial arts skills were not up to par, and his firepower was even worse. How could he be Lu Ming's opponent?
  • With a flash of Dragon Snake Step, Lu Ming avoided Li Feng's sword light and punched him in the stomach.
  • Li Feng screamed, flew out, fell to the ground, and vomited blood. However, Li Feng's cultivation was stronger. He was only seriously injured but not dead.
  • "You're such a piece of trash, and you still call me a trash?" Lu Ming walked toward Li Feng, murderous intent filling the air.
  • "No, don't kill me." Li Feng was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly. He had never dreamed that Lu Ming could be so powerful.
  • "How do I take the path to the Sand Snakes' lair? Tell me." Lu Ming asked.
  • Originally, Lu Ming could have killed Li Feng with one punch, but the reason he didn't was because of the Sand Snake Thief's lair.
  • The Sand Snake Bandits were a group of bandits active near the Monster Mountain Range—killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Due to the complicated terrain in the mountains and forests, they had not been wiped out. Over the years, they had amassed countless treasures. If Lu Ming could obtain them, he would have the money to buy Dragon Tiger Pills.
  • "If you want to know the path leading to the Sand Snakes' lair, I can tell you, but you have to spare my life." Li Feng's eyes flashed.
  • At the same time, he was roaring in his heart. When he went back this time, he would take crazy revenge on Lu Ming. Not only Lu Ming, but also his mother—he would let her die a bad death.
  • "Now you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. If you don't tell me, I will kill you immediately." Lu Ming's voice was cold. He stared at Li Feng with murderous eyes.
  • Li Feng felt a chill in his heart and shouted, "Okay, I'll say, I'll say..."
  • Li Feng told the path leading to the Sand Snake's lair.
  • "Can I go now?" Li Feng asked when he finished.
  • Lu Ming sneered. "Let you go so you can go back and take revenge on me?" He punched Li Feng in the chest, killing him.
  • Over the years, Lu Ming had seen the world very clearly. In the world of martial arts, the weak were prey to the strong. Sometimes, if you didn't kill others, others would kill you. Therefore, Lu Ming would not be soft-hearted when dealing with his enemies, because once he became soft-hearted, he would die.
  • Afterward, Lu Ming searched Li Feng and Li Fei. The two were very poor—the total amount of money they had on them was less than fifty taels. However, a secret book was found on Li Feng.
  • "One-Character Electric Sword"—an inferior swordsmanship. Although the level was not high, it was just right for Lu Ming, who had no other means of attack besides the Flame Dragon Fist.
  • After putting all the secret books, banknotes, and Silver Bell Grass into the Supreme Temple, Lu Ming walked out of the cave and headed toward the lair of the Sand Snake Thieves.
  • The Sand Snake Bandit's lair was on a mountain peak more than thirty miles away. This mountain peak had steep cliffs on three sides, making it difficult to cross. There was only a narrow road directly in front that led to the mountain.
  • It took Lu Ming a full two hours to arrive near the mountain peak. Along the way, he almost encountered monsters several times—a thrilling experience.
  • Monsters were powerful and ferocious, divided into nine levels, each divided into nine ranks. Even the worst first-level monster was equivalent to the first-level of a warrior—simply not something Lu Ming could handle now.
  • Lu Ming waited nearby. According to Li Feng, today the head of the Li family, Li Fu, would lead the Li family's masters to encircle and suppress the Sand Snake Bandits.
  • Of course, Li Fu was not so kind as to want to eliminate harm for the people. His goal was also the treasures that the Sand Snakes had stolen over the years.
  • Sure enough, not long after, hundreds of figures appeared in the mountains and forests, rushing toward the Sand Snake Thief's lair at extremely fast speeds.
  • "Enemy attack!" A loud roar sounded from the mountain peak. What followed was fierce shouts of killing.
  • "It's time." Lu Ming moved and used Dragon Snake Step to shuttle through the mountains and forests.
  • Soon, he came to the back of the Sand Snake's lair. There was a secret path here that could lead to climbing the mountain. This was the escape route left by the Sand Snake Thief—if one day he could not withstand the enemy's attack, he could retreat from here.
