Chapter 2291

Where there were cultivators, there would be strife. Where there were strife, there would be factions. No matter where you put it, there would be no mistake.

In this village, the rather famous Ulu had died, causing the other villagers to feel apprehensive and not dare to have any ideas about the Sacred Black Crystal.

But the villagers of the other villages did not fear this.

The miners that had left had also come from the nearby villages. The news that Zi Chen had obtained a large piece of Sacred Black Crystal had naturally spread, causing these people to rush over.

Some of them had come to watch the show, while others had ulterior motives.

At the very front was the old man that Zi Chen had met once before. He came from the Hort Clan, and at his side was the still very weak Hort Tangmi.

As an alchemist, Hort Disis was one of the wealthiest people in these villages.

Ordinary black iron that could only sustain the livelihood of the miners was beneath his notice. But a large piece of Sacred Black Crystal was another matter altogether.

Of course, the Sacred Black Crystal was only secondary. Taking advantage of this opportunity to exterminate the old man was his true intention.

In the distance, he saw the old man carrying his bamboo basket as he walked out of the run-down house.

He called out from the distance. The old man turned around and fled like a mouse seeing a cat.

The chase brought them to the outside of the stone house.

The old man ran into the stone house and instantly closed the door, hiding like a turtle. No matter how they called out, he did not come out.

Looking at the closed door of the stone house, they seemed very helpless.

In this world, everything was far beyond the imagination of the outside world. Even an ordinary wooden house was not something that they could break open with brute force, much less such a luxurious stone house.

As long as the person inside did not come out, they simply did not have the strength to destroy this house.

"Old man, do you feel good hiding in here like a turtle?"

"Turtle, hurry up and come out!"

As these people from the other villages shouted, the other villagers began to appear. They stood to the side and watched, showing no intention of helping.

In the stone house, the old man sat opposite Zi Chen. He looked at the expressionless Zi Chen rubbing his scabbard and said, "Young people shouldn't be so eager to fight. Those people outside are not easy to deal with. Many of them are carrying weapons. If we act rashly, in your words, both of us may die here."

"Even if I die here, it's still better than others pointing at me and cursing me." Zi Chen's tone was indifferent.

"You can't even take a little scolding?

Just treat them as if they're farting, "the old man said indifferently.

"I've been cursed by the entire world, so these curses are nothing.

However, I feel that we don't need to bear such infamy. They came with ill intentions and have ulterior motives. There's no need to tolerate them. "

"That's easy for you to say, but those people outside all have powerful backgrounds. Take that old man Huo Te for example. He represents the Huo Te family.

Do you know how many people from the Huo Te Clan have entered this place over the years?

Do you think they'll let you off so easily? "

While rubbing his scabbard, Zi Chen said, "After all these years, I only know one principle.

Whoever has the bigger fist is the reason. "

"That's easy for you to say. You killed one, and soon, a group of people will come to reason with you. Do you think you can beat them with your fist?

Although there are some existences from the life stars in this world, who knows where they are?

Perhaps they're in the legendary city. Perhaps thousands of years after you've died, the news will spread there. Perhaps they will come to collect your corpse, but only if your corpse is still there. "

Zi Chen knew that there were other cultivators from the life stars in this world. However, he had only seen the old man here.

Moreover, the old man had come here a long time ago. He was the last one to come here.

Zi Chen grabbed his scabbard, stood up and said, "My principle is simple. If one person comes, I'll talk to him. If a group comes, I'll talk to them.

We'll know who's right after a debate. "

Apparently, Zi Chen's debate wasn't a real debate. That would only make him die more miserably.

What he meant by debate was to fight.

He started as a rogue cultivator. Eventually, he had reached this step. Apparently, he had been going through a battle all the time.

He wasn't afraid of fighting or dying.

"I know you're strong, but this kind of battle isn't necessary. Moreover, it's getting dark. They don't dare to spend the night outside."

The old man eventually persuaded Zi Chen. Indeed, as the sky darkened, the voices outside became smaller and smaller. Eventually, they all disappeared.

Everybody had left. No one dared to spend the night outside. However, it was still unknown if they would come back tomorrow.

Those people left when the sky was getting dark. Judging by the time, they couldn't go back. They would all die on the way.

Apparently, they weren't stupid. They wouldn't die that easily.

The old man guessed the reason. His relaxed face gradually became serious. He cursed outside. "Those damn bastards. Do they really want to fight to the death?"

"Only fighting is the fastest way to resolve grudges," Zi Chen said.

The old man glanced at Zi Chen and said unhappily, "I'm not stupid. Of course, I know this.

But they have more people. How can the two of us be a match for them? "

Looking at the scabbard in Zi Chen's hand, the old man said, "You've already used this broken saber. They must know that it's poisoned.

If you want to continue to fight unexpectedly, you won't succeed!

Although I have some skills, it's only limited to fighting. As for killing people, don't count on this pickaxe in my hand.

This thing can only be used for fighting, not killing! "

"I know you're not weak, but you're only one person. Two fists can't fight four hands. If you really fight, you'll only die when you face them.

Unless you have a special ability, there will only be two more corpses here. "

Hearing the old man's words, Zi Chen's heart stirred. He asked, "You said ability. What exactly is an ability?"

"An ability can be an innate gift, some supernatural ability, or some mutation of the body.

Being fast is an ability. Having a strong body is an ability. Being able to fly is an ability. Being able to control other things is an ability. There are many kinds of abilities. However, no matter which kind, they are all recognized by the rules of this world. In other words, they are above the rules of this world.

An ability is very strong in this world. I heard that it's the strongest thing besides God! "

The old man gazed at the stone table and said, "I once went to a small town and stayed there for one night. I heard that there was an existence from a life star who had some kind of eye technique.

I heard that his eyes could shoot two beams of light. He could kill people with just one look! "

Seeing Zi Chen's interested face, the old man curled his lips and said, "I've only heard about it. I've never seen it.

I don't know if that little Er was just talking nonsense to make me happy or if it's true. I just thought of it as a story to amuse myself. "

"So, does our village have people who know about abilities?" asked Zi Chen.

"Of course. Blacksmiths can forge weapons. It's an acquired ability.

Alchemists can refine mediocre pills. It's an ability.

We can use pickaxes to dig ores. It's also an ability. "

"Everyone can do that. What kind of ability is that?" asked Zi Chen with a startled face.

"It's an ability. It's just the most basic ability.

There are different kinds of abilities, big and small. However, they are all life skills. If you want to have an ability that can be used in battle, it's too difficult.

If you really have one, you don't need to hide in the village. You can just go to the small town or find a way to enter the city. "

"How do you get an ability?"

"There are acquired abilities and innate abilities.

I don't have the specific ability, so of course, I don't know.

However, I heard that those powerful techniques in the outside world will become some kind of ability here.

However, this should be just a rumor. The techniques I got from the War Martial Family didn't become any ability here. "

That night, the two of them rested very late and started to discuss the matter of energy.

After that, the old man couldn't hold it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

It could be seen that what happened that day was nothing to him. As long as he stayed there, those people would not be able to do anything to them.

Moreover, Ulu was rich enough. The food in the room was also very sufficient. It was enough for the two of them to live there for a long time.

However, Zi Chen didn't think so. He couldn't sleep for a long time and had to get up to practice the sword.

However, he didn't practice one move at a time. Instead, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, simulating the sword technique in his mind over and over again. It was just like when he had a soul in the outside world. This kind of efficiency coupled with actual combat practice would undoubtedly be faster.

The next day, Zi Chen was woken up by noisy curses.

These people didn't go back last night. It was obvious that they had a grudge against them. If this matter couldn't be resolved, they would not leave.

"Don't go out!

This is a provocation! "

Seemingly worried that Zi Chen would go out rashly, the old man got up early that day and looked at Zi Chen, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes open.

After a night of cultivation, Zi Chen didn't feel tired at all. It was as if he had the power of the soul.

This was obviously impossible. Having the power of the soul was equivalent to having the ability. The current Zi Chen undoubtedly didn't have the ability.

He got up, grabbed the scabbard in his left hand, and said, "This matter must be resolved.

I don't have much time. I can't always waste it here.

Also, I said that I would reason with them. "

As he spoke, Zi Chen stepped forward and opened the stone door. The first ray of sunlight shone on his face, illuminating his handsome face with golden light.

The curses outside stopped because the stone door was opened. Zi Chen held the scabbard and stepped out.

"Sigh, this …"

The old man looked at Zi Chen and sighed helplessly. However, he didn't hesitate. He picked up the pickaxe leaning against the wall and followed Zi Chen out.

"Today, we will fight to the death. If you're not afraid of death, come up!"

After walking out, he quickly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zi Chen. He raised the pickaxe in his hand and said indifferently.

Although he didn't recommend fighting with these people head-on, when it really came down to it, the old man didn't shrink back at all.
