Chapter 95: Outrageous

“Is this what you call not peaceful?”

The wind and sand in Mobei were strong, and every time he opened his mouth, it was filled with sand, but Shan Xu still wanted to speak.

Didn’t you say it wouldn’t be peaceful along the way?

You said to change our appearances and be careful of being hunted down?

Why, all the way here, let alone any close calls, there haven’t even been any dangers!

In the Jianghu, True Realm experts either guard a city or a sect, rarely traveling the Jianghu.

Zhoutian experts can also occupy a town, or establish a second-rate sect, and act with impunity.

For example, Zhan Yunfan of Three Talents Manor is a local tyrant.

The True Realm is so difficult to break through, the vast majority of Zhoutian experts will never reach the True Realm in their lifetime. Instead of thinking about breaking through, it’s better to face reality and enjoy life.

Isn’t practicing martial arts just for enjoyment?

Therefore, those who travel the Jianghu are mostly martial artists at the See the Truth and Qi Sea realms, even Zhoutian experts are rare.

There are even novice martial artists below See the Truth, who have completed the Blood and Qi Barrier, who travel the Jianghu with their elders for experience.

The fact that the two of them encountered the branch of the Celestial Maiden Sect when they were looking for lodging was simply bad luck!

Stumbling right into someone else’s lair, it was like delivering takeout to their doorstep!

As for Zhang Yi, he had ulterior motives and had been planning for a long time.

Ever since that night when the two of them, as patients, decided to keep a low profile, they had been cautious and worried all the way, startled by the slightest sound, like a crane fearing a bow and arrow.

The funny thing is that a few days ago, they were even intimidated by a See the Truth martial artist, it was utterly embarrassing!

As a result, a journey of one or two thousand miles, because Shi Feizhe insisted on deliberately taking detours, took them more than a month, and nothing happened!

All they encountered were weaklings pecking at each other, and even if Shi Feizhe gave them one hand, he could still easily defeat them.

Every time they turned a corner, arrived at a small town, stayed at an inn, or walked to a large mountain.

Shi Feizhe would always say, “There are many dangers ahead, there might be an ambush!”

Now in the desolate desert of Mobei, as far as the eye could see, it was all fucking sand.

Shi Feizhe still said, “There are many dangers ahead, there might be an ambush,” Shan Xu couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted to Shi Feizhe.

Shi Feizhe, being retorted, remained silent, he was also puzzled!

This shouldn’t be!

I analyzed the mastermind behind the scenes so thoroughly, how could it end so anticlimactically!

It’s not following the script!

According to normal reasoning, that Zhang Yi, after being cut by a sword, definitely wouldn’t let it go, he would certainly send True Martial Hall experts to track them down.

So they used aliases and disguised themselves simply, keeping a low profile and enduring all the way.

The result… they had been fighting wits and courage with the air!

Shi Feizhe walked through the sand, one foot deep and one foot shallow, feeling deeply defeated, and didn’t want to speak.

It couldn’t be that there were really fools in True Martial Hall who practiced the technique he had temporarily modified, right?

There might be such fools in the Jianghu, but True Martial Hall, as a professional place for researching martial arts manuals, shouldn’t have such fools, right?

He thought and thought, but still couldn’t figure it out.

He could only attribute it to the Jianghu, it was beyond imagination!

The two of them followed the camel caravan not far ahead, walking along the desert for another half day, and finally arrived at Shuangboqiu.

This was a small town in the desert, because there were mountainous areas to the west and north that could block the desert coming from the northwest, and with the passing caravans, it slowly formed into a town.

In the past, the town only had people when caravans came, and it was quite deserted on ordinary days.

Now, because there were two experts about to have a decisive battle in the desert, martial artists from all over the world gathered here, and Jianghu grudges were also settled here.

It had become exceptionally lively.

The reason why everyone came here was naturally because the Demon Sect had announced the time and place.

Hua Chonglang seemed to be very confident in himself!

The lives of the people in the town had also been completely changed. Food had become scarce, water even more so, it was extremely precious! But the number of caravans coming and going had also increased, bringing a large amount of goods, which were directly consumed in the town.

Whether it would be good or bad for the people in the town after the martial artists left was hard to say.

It was already the end of June, and there were only seven days left until the duel between the two top martial artists.

Let alone staying in the town, even the tents and yurts around the town were fully occupied.

Shi Feizhe and Shan Xu could only set up camp on a hill a few miles outside the town. It was understandable that water and food were expensive, but the price of firewood was beyond Shi Feizhe’s imagination!

✿✿✿

“This damn load of firewood costs ten taels of silver!” Shi Feizhe widened his eyes.

The further north you go in this world, the lower the temperature.

Although it was a July desert, it wasn’t too hot during the day, but it was particularly cold at night!

Although Shi Feizhe and Shan Xu weren’t afraid of the cold, prolonged low temperatures were still uncomfortable. If a cold wave came in the middle of the night, it would be quite embarrassing.

When traveling, safety came first.

“Do you want it or not?” The martial artist selling firewood said.

They had collected all the firewood that could be burned on this mountain, just to make a fortune!

It was worth their while to come a month early and discover this business opportunity.

It was a pity that their fists were too weak. If they could monopolize the food and wells, that would be truly making a fortune!

“Can’t afford it!” Shi Feizhe shook his head.

The prices were too outrageous!

Although he and Shan Xu had money, they couldn’t spend it like this! Moreover, food and water were also very expensive.

The martial artist selling firewood didn’t say anything, he had to hurry and sell it to others.

Time was money, he couldn’t afford to waste time talking.

As for keeping warm, martial artists had more convenient ways!

More than a dozen martial artists gathered around a large man. The large man circulated his internal energy, his whole body like a furnace, clearly a Qi Sea realm martial artist who cultivated a fire-based technique!

Apart from the strong and slightly overwhelming smell of sweat, it was very cost-effective!

In special times, they could only make do with this.

The way martial artists used their internal energy to keep warm reminded Shi Feizhe of Sun Niu Ma, who made ice in Qiuyang City. He wondered if he was still alive after that incident.

When daytime arrived, Shi Feizhe and Shan Xu chose a spot and started… digging trenches.

As everyone knew, when True Realm experts fought, once they let loose, they could cause terrifying destruction.

So what kind of destruction would a battle between the number one and number two experts in the world cause?

The answer was unknown.

Because there hadn’t been a battle between top experts in the Jianghu for a long time.

The last recorded battle between top experts was over a hundred years ago.

The records said that when those two experts fought, mountains crumbled and the earth split, the sky darkened and the earth shook, everything within hundreds of miles was flattened, countless people were killed or injured, it was like a natural disaster.

Absolutely outrageous!

As for things like two experts fighting while others watched from a nearby mountaintop, that was simply impossible in this world. The mountaintop, along with the people on it, might be obliterated!

So the spectators chose to dig trenches, and the distance was fifty miles.

Yes, fifty miles away to watch the two of them duel.

What could they see from that distance?

Naturally, they could only see the aftermath of the battle between the two. After the battle was over, they would rush over as soon as possible to see who had won.

As for things like battle commentary, gaining enlightenment from watching experts duel, for martial artists like Shi Feizhe, it was simply a joke.

In front of top experts, their level of cultivation was no different from the sand on the ground.

They even had to dig trenches to avoid the aftershocks of the battle!

And there was still a certain risk! Because they didn’t know if the battlefield would shift during the battle between top experts.

If it shifted a dozen miles or so, and came near you.

That would truly be… a disaster from heaven!

Having said that, but knowing that there was a duel between top experts and not coming to take a look.

For any martial artist who wasn’t a complete slacker, it would be disrespectful to martial arts and themselves!

Watching from fifty miles away was reasonable and justifiable.
