Capítulo 1879: Chapter 1879: Crushing All of You
“I… I don’t dare!”
Hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Jia Zheng let out a low sigh.
“Coward, since you don’t dare, then you’ll be a backup plan for life!”
Bai Xiaofan patted Jia Zheng on the shoulder, then ignored him and started drinking on his own.
Jia Zheng stared at Bai Xiaofan for a long time, as if making a decision, then suddenly stood up and headed upstairs.
Arriving at Liang Yue’s door, Jia Zheng raised his hand and knocked a few times.
“Who’s there?”
Liang Yue’s voice came from inside the room.
“It’s… it’s me, Jia Zheng!”
Upon hearing Liang Yue’s question, Jia Zheng, who had been full of resolve moments ago, suddenly became far less confident.
“Big brother Jia, do you need something?”
Liang Yue’s voice sounded as the door opened, and she looked at Jia Zheng with a face full of confusion.
“I… I don’t really have anything, just wanted to ask if you need some hot water? If you do, I can heat some up for you!”
His face flushed red, Jia Zheng finally managed to get his words out.
“No need, big brother Jia. Is there anything else? Do you want to come in and sit?”
Liang Yue shook her head and stepped aside, signaling that Jia Zheng could come in if he had more to say.
“No, no… no, if you don’t need hot water, then I’ll be going!”
For some reason, with a glance at Liang Yue who opened the door, Jia Zheng’s face turned even redder. He quickly declined and hastily scurried away, returning to the inn’s entrance to sit beside Bai Xiaofan.
Seeing Jia Zheng leave, Liang Yue didn’t think much of it and closed the door to go to sleep.
“I admit, I am a coward!”
Sitting next to Bai Xiaofan, Jia Zheng said softly, then tilted his head back and took a large gulp of wine.
Hearing Jia Zheng’s words, Bai Xiaofan just shook his head.
Just then, suddenly, a great blaze rose in the distance, accompanied by the sounds of killing!
“What’s going on? Isn’t fighting prohibited here?”
Already half-drunk, Jia Zheng was instantly sobered, stood up, and stared into the distance, asking softly.
“Even the leader of your Mosha Sea can hardly protect himself. Do you really think that so-called restraint would still be effective?”
Bai Xiaofan remained unflustered, seemingly unaffected by the distant cries of battle.
Meanwhile, Salca and the Sixth Soul of Death appeared to Bai Xiaofan’s left and right, and Liang Yue came down holding two children, standing quietly behind them.
Before long, other cultivators within the inn, awakened by the cries of battle, emerged with panic-stricken faces, staring intently at the approaching blaze.
“What’s happening? Why does it feel like strong auras are approaching us?”
“It shouldn’t be. Are they defying Elder Wu Wang’s orders and attacking our village privately?”
“I think so. If I’m not mistaken, there are powerful experts among them, possibly even at the peak of the Heaven Opening realm!”
“What should we do now? Should we run?”
Seeing the approaching blaze and the powerful auras, the cultivators from the inn began murmuring in low voices.
“Mr. Bai…”
Jia Zheng said softly to Bai Xiaofan, hoping he might help these people.
However, before Jia Zheng could finish speaking, Salca shot him a menacing glare, “Stop babbling nonsense. How the master acts is none of your concern. Know your place!”
Hearing Salca’s words and feeling his killing intent, Jia Zheng was momentarily stunned, then quickly nodded in succession.
After drinking and chatting with Bai Xiaofan for a while, Jia Zheng assumed they were friends now.
But Salca’s reminder brought him back to his senses, and looking at Bai Xiaofan’s back, he was scared into a cold sweat.
“Who’s the highest in cultivation here? Maybe if we band together, we might survive. If we run, we might be killed before even escaping the village!”
A cultivator at the early stage of the Heaven Ascension realm said loudly, scanning everyone’s faces.
“I’m late-stage Sky Gazing!”
“I’m early-stage Sky Ascension!”
“I’m late-stage Sky Ascension!”
After some back-and-forth, they identified the strongest among them: a middle-aged man at the peak of the Heaven Ascension realm.
“I’m Zhang Shan. Do any of you want to join us?”
The man at the peak of the Heaven Ascension realm approached Bai Xiaofan’s group, looking at Jia Zheng.
Hearing Zhang Shan’s question, Jia Zheng was slightly taken aback, unsure why he was being asked.
Glancing at Bai Xiaofan and his companions, he suddenly realized that Zhang Shan could only see his and Liang Yue’s cultivation levels and thought he looked slightly stronger.
“No.”
Jia Zheng, seeing that neither Bai Xiaofan nor Salca responded, smiled and replied to Zhang Shan.
“Hmph, you might as well join us. But if danger comes, don’t count on us, and don’t even think of sharing any benefits!”
After Jia Zheng’s response, a man behind Zhang Shan snorted angrily.
Bang!
But before the man could finish, his body flew backward, crashing into the nearby door, gravely injured and unable to rise!
“D… dead!”
Someone checked the man’s breath, then announced in disbelief.
Dead?
The crowd stared in disbelief, then turned to the suddenly attacking Salca with horrified expressions.
Although the man wasn’t very powerful, he was still late-stage Sky Ascension, considered decent among them.
Yet even so, he was slain in one move by this sudden attacker!
What level of cultivation does this person have?
Could it be he’s reached the legendary third step?
“Hmph, you bunch of trash. Don’t use your foolish eyes to judge us. It’s not that I look down on you, but any one of us could easily crush you all!”
Salca glanced dismissively at the crowd, coldly snorted, and turned away.
Listening to Salca, many couldn’t believe it and looked questioningly at Zhang Shan.
“This gentleman isn’t wrong. Among those approaching, at least ten have auras far stronger than mine. As for those like me, at the peak of Heaven Ascension, there are as many as thirty or forty!”
Seeing their questioning looks, Zhang Shan shook his head with a bitter smile, delivering more shocking news.
