A Small Punishment And A Big Warning
Nan Shan laughed.
He did not expect to encounter such a thing on his first trip out of the mountain.
They did not know if he was the lucky one or if they were the unlucky ones.
Was there any chance for a mortal to win against a cultivator?
Not at all!
Even a first Qi layer cultivator who had not mastered the method of absorbing Qi would be able to beat up this group of fourth or fifth layer body refining cultivators!
Not to mention that he had already cultivated the thousand way sword technique.
Taking care of them was no different from drinking water.
It was completely effortless!
However, Nan Shan did not intend to kill anyone.
The Devouring Fiend sword's effect was that the more and purer the blood essence it absorbed when it was sharpening, the stronger it would be after sharpening.
The few trash in front of him were not worthy to be the souls of the sword of the evil devouring beast.
Nan Shan shook his head gently, his expression indifferent.
"Everyone, it's not easy to survive in this chaotic world. I understand."
As he spoke, he threw an ingot of gold into the knife-scarred man's arms. "This little money can be used to solve a disaster. I have no intention of fighting with you. You can leave now."
"Motherf*cker, are you trying to send away a beggar?"
The knife-scarred man originally saw that Nan Shan was calm and composed, and he was a little uncertain.
Now that he heard these kind words, he felt that Nan Shan was just pretending to be calm.
Would a powerful person be so easy to talk to?
Let them rob him?
The knife-scarred man did not think that was possible.
Driven by his greed, his courage also doubled.
"I want all the money, don't even think about keeping a single cent!"
The knife-scarred man shouted, "Do it! We'll just snatch it!"
"Ah."
Nan Shan could not help but sigh. "Since you're asking for it, don't blame me."
He raised his right hand and activated his spiritual Qi. A transparent barrier was formed several meters away from him.
The few underlings suddenly did not know.
They only felt that their bodies, which were still charging forward, were suddenly blocked by an invisible force. No matter what they did, they could not take another step forward.
Buzzzzzz!
The astral wind instantly erupted and swept out from Nan Shan's body.
The robbers were immediately sent flying by the strong wind for more than ten meters. They fell into the mud, spitting blood.
The rest of the people did not have it easy either.
It was a scene of complete chaos.
A few unlucky ones were even trampled by the frightened horses and had a few of their ribs broken.
"He's actually an immortal cultivator!"
The knife-scarred man was terrified. He stumbled to his feet and shouted, "Run! Split up!"
As he ran, he did not forget to turn around and say some harsh words.
"You have guts! Little brat! When I get Big Brother to come over, you'll get it!"
Nan Shan was amused.
"Who gave you the wrong impression that you can escape from the hands of cultivators?"
He circulated his spirit Qi to his feet, and his speed doubled. He caught up with the knife-scarred man in a few steps and directly kicked him to the ground.
The rest of the robbers ran even faster when they saw this.
Nan Shan looked down at the knife-scarred man and said lightly, "Ask your men to come over. Save your strength. Don't make me waste my energy to catch them one by one."
"Hehe, what nonsense are you talking about? If you have the ability, then kill me. Cultivators killing mortals will only increase their karmic hindrance. Do you think I don't know that?"
The knife-scarred man was full of confidence. After his men ran to inform his big brother, this kid would not be able to escape.
"Your stupidity has really opened my eyes. You're not a good person, so how can killing you increase my karmic hindrance?"
Nan Shan's palm was filled with spiritual energy, and he pretended to kill him.
"Don't! Hero, stop!"
The knife-scarred man was shocked and quickly shouted, "Why are you idiots running! Did he really think that he could escape? All of you, get over here and listen to the immortal master's lecture!"
After this shout, half of the people hesitated. They looked back but did not go over.
The rest were still running.
Nan Shan shouted lightly, and his spiritual energy swept across again, sending them flying.
"If you take one more step, I won't just be using 10% of my strength!"
"Ten percent..."
The knife-scarred man at his feet swallowed his saliva, unconsciously comparing the young man in front of him to his big brother.
Big brother... Could he even have 50% of his strength?
As soon as this thought appeared, the knife-scarred man could not help but want to submit to him.
It was better to be obedient and save his life first.
AI!
Today was truly an unlucky day.
It was not easy to meet someone who seemed to be rich, but who would have thought that he was actually a cultivator!
Soon, the rest of the robbers also slowly approached.
Nan Shan's eyes swept across the room.
"Be more aware and hand over all the money you have."
The people present could not help being stunned.
Why did these words sound so familiar?
F*ck!
Was this immortal master trying to rob them?
These people did not react.
Nan Shan directly stepped on the knife-scarred man's foot.
"What are you doing? be an example. How do you lead your little brother?"
The knife-scarred man felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he almost suffocated. Although he felt that it was ridiculous, he still handed over all the treasures he had on him.
At the same time, he pointed at the horses that were scattered not far away.
"Immortal master, most of the money we robbed this time is in the bag beside the horse. If you want it, you can take it yourself..."
Nan Shan pouted and commanded, "Go, bring the bags over and let me see.
The surrounding underlings were more sensible this time, and they hurriedly ran over.
After collecting them, he threw them on the ground beside the knife-scarred man, forming a small mountain nearly a meter high.
"You're quite rich. You even have spirit stones?"
Nan Shan looked at them and was greatly surprised. He waved his hand and put all of them into his storage bag.
This wealth was enough for him to invest for a period of time.
The knife-scarred man's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. The results of his hard work for half a month were all gone!
Nan Shan kicked him again.
"I'm asking you a question. Answer me. Why are you so blind?"
"Ah?"
The knife-scarred man was a little dazed from the beating.
"Forget it," he said.
Nan Shan did not care. He pointed at the fork in front. Which one is the way to Heqing temple?"
"Left side..."
"How far away are we?"
"I guess... We'll reach it in another ten li."
Nan Shan nodded. He was very satisfied with his attitude of answering all questions.
"Go, find a rope and tie everyone together. Tie your hands together."
"Ha?"
The knife-scarred man looked like he was about to cry. "Immortal master, I didn't do anything too overboard... What are you doing?"
"Don't worry so much, just do as I say."
Nan Shan sneered. "That means you didn't do anything overboard? After chasing for two hundred li, if I didn't have my cultivation, I'm afraid I would have already been killed by your blade, right?"
The knife-scarred man did not dare to answer and could only do so.
More than a dozen robbers were tied to a rope one after another. Nan Shan held the end of the rope and rode them on horses, slowly finishing the last part of the journey.
