174 Uproot the Weeds (2)
However, sympathy was just sympathy. When it was time to make a move, Jiang Ming would not have the slightest hesitation.
He waved his left hand, and the Mystic Water Shield appeared, clashing with the flying sword.
The pitch-black flying sword shattered.
The Mystic Water Shield changed its direction slightly and hit the iron seal. Both of them exploded with spiritual energy and flew back at the same time.
At the same time, Jiang Ming cast the Fireball Spell with his other hand. A fireball the size of a human head shot out and burned the talismans in front of him in the blink of an eye. It then fell on the body of the person who sent the talismans.
In an instant, the man was burned to a crisp, leaving nothing behind.
The other three perpetrators were shocked.
“Something’s wrong.” The one-eyed man suddenly felt uneasy.
The rope that the woman took out was held tight in Jiang Ming’s grip and he pulled it.
The woman did not even have time to react. With a scream, she was pulled and sent flying.
Jiang Ming cast another Fireball Spell, which directly hit the woman who was still struggling in the air. A black hole was burnt in her chest. Her charred body fell to the ground.
The last two men remaining were terrified. They finally realized that they had encountered someone terrifying.
Although the strength Jiang Ming displayed was still around the middle stage of the Qi Refinement Realm, his methods were exquisite. His spiritual energy was also more condensed than ordinary immortal cultivators. He was not a rookie at all!
“No matter how strong he is, he’s still in the middle stage of the Qi Refinement Realm. Let’s attack him together!”
“Alright!”
The one-eyed man gritted his teeth and shouted. The other man also roared and nodded, as if he was trying to boost his morale.
Without hesitation, the two of them turned around and fled in two different directions.
They were not going to take such a risk. They wanted to escape with their lives.
A flying sword suddenly shot out like a bolt of lightning and pierced through the other man’s head. It then drew an arc in the night sky and lightly descended in front of the one-eyed man’s forehead.
The one-eyed man suddenly stopped. Drops of blood seeped out between his eyebrows. The flying sword had already slightly pierced his skull.
“Carry the corpse and come back here!”
A light voice rang in his ears.
The one-eyed man’s face was ashen. However, he could not resist. He could only carry his companion’s body on his shoulder and walk back to the courtyard step by step.
“My Lord! Spare me!” The one-eyed man’s demeanor changed completely. His expression at this time reminded Jiang Ming of Old Gu Zi. He looked scared and helpless.
Perhaps he had a reason for resorting to crime. However, Jiang Ming could not let him go. Jiang Ming had to be safe as well.
“Why do you want to kill me?” Jiang Ming said lightly.
The one-eyed man’s forehead was covered in sweat. He trembled as he said, “We bought the information from the Three Talents Guild.”
“Three Talents Guild? What’s that?”
Jiang Ming frowned. Was he being watched?
The one-eyed man hurriedly explained, “The Three Talents Guild is a small merchant a.s.sociation formed by three level six Qi Refinement Realm cultivators. They usually sell some low-grade medicinal pills, magic tools, and other treasures between the various individual cultivator markets and small cultivation forces. Sometimes, they also sell some information. They just happened to be at Xiaoqian Mountain during this period of time.”
Jiang Ming glanced at him and almost rolled his eyes. He thought the Three Talents Guild would be full of powerful cultivators, not three level six Qi Refinement Realm cultivators!
“Tell me, what information did you buy?” Jiang Ming asked again.
“We bought a list of names. It’s a list of those who are below the middle stage of the Qi Refinement Realm in Xiaoqian Mountain. They are suspected to be rich and are easy targets.”
“Oh? It seems like I’m one of them,” Jiang Ming said lightly.
The one-eyed man nodded awkwardly. “According to them, you are one of the least powerful cultivators in the Plant Hall. You only know the Misty Rain Technique, which can make money. Therefore, you might have some wealth. However, they a.s.sumed you were weak.”
At this point, the one-eyed man suddenly wanted to curse. How could the information he bought be so inaccurate?!
Then, his expression changed, and he quickly said, “However, there are quite a few targets on that list, so the Three Talents Guild doesn’t know that we’re looking for you!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened. It seemed that he was still being targeted after all.
However, this was to be expected. As a farming expert who had mastered the Misty Rain Technique, he was highly sought after. It was only natural that he would attract the attention of thieves.
And he had hidden his strength. Therefore, he was seen as an easy target.
There was no need to talk about the one-eyed man. However, the Three Talents Guild was a different story.
Jiang Ming glanced at the one-eyed man again and suddenly asked, “You seem so familiar with this. You’ve worked with the Three Talents Guild before, haven’t you?”
