Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 61 A Terrifying Reputation (Part 1)

After the crowd dispersed.

Chen Li applied a cleaning talisman to the blood-stained cloth bag, tidied it up, and then swaggered around the market. After wandering around a few times and not feeling anyone following him, he quickly went back.

Before it gets too bright.

Chen Li made three trips back and forth, and only managed to sell a little over a thousand catties of monster meat.

The efficiency is too low.

At the current temperature, monster meat can only be preserved for five or six days at most. After that, if it is not processed, it will probably start to rot.

He decided to increase the sales volume tomorrow.

After selling everything, he didn't rush to leave but began to really explore the market.

Chen Li walked up to a stall.

On a tattered cloth lay several scrolls, a long sword, and a bottle of medicinal wine infused with various herbs.

Chen Li picked up the sword and gently drew it.

"This is refined steel, and you can have five catties of gold," said the down-on-his-luck rogue cultivator.

Chen Li glanced at it and then gently put it down.

However, an ordinary longsword was of no use to him.

He quickly turned his gaze to the three scrolls on the table.

Three Attack Techniques for the Qi Refining Stage

A Rough Explanation of Battle Formations

Travelogues Abroad

He picked up "Three Attack Spells for the Qi Refining Stage" and flipped through it casually, his eyes lighting up.

It contains records of three techniques.

The reprimand technique at the third level of Qi Refining, the palm thunder technique at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the ice technique at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

There are two types that Chen Li has never encountered before.

"How much are these three books? I'll buy them all if the price is right."

The rogue cultivator's spirits lifted: "These three books were originally priced at 21 low-grade spirit stones, but now they're only 10 low-grade spirit stones."

Chen Li deliberately chuckled:
"Who are you trying to fool? A spirit stone!"

After some haggling, Chen Li finally won the deal with three low-grade spirit stones.

After paying, he put away the book and continued browsing other stalls.

There were quite a few swords for sale here, but unfortunately none of them were to his liking. Chen Li wandered around and found that most of them were items being sold by down-on-their-luck rogue cultivators, and there weren't many good ones.

He stopped wandering around and, sensing that no one was following him, decided to head home.

"Even if such a high-value item as a magic sword existed, no one would sell it at a market stall. There are too many people and too much risk. I should ask someone I know!" Chen Li thought to himself.

We walked to a small grove of trees not far from the shantytown.

Chen Li suddenly heard a faint sound.

He felt a chill run down his spine, immediately stopped, and began to back away step by step.

"It's too late to leave!"

Three men and one woman, each shrouded in protective shields, emerged swiftly from the woods, forming an encirclement.

"Hehe, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" The tall, burly cultivator leading the group grinned maliciously. "Hand over all your spirit stones!"

"Alright, consider these spirit stones a small gift for everyone. How about we part ways here?" Chen Li slowly backed away, reaching out to pull out his money pouch and tossing it on the ground, scattering a few spirit stones.

"Fellow Daoist, you're quite generous. Where's the demon beast meat? Where did you put it?" The tall cultivator didn't even glance at the spirit stones, chuckled, and continued to press forward for answers.

"They're all sold out!" Chen Li said.

"You're not being honest! Selling it so cheaply and doing it three times in a row, you obviously have a lot of stock to get rid of. Do you think we'll believe that?"

"Tell us where you are. If you tell us, we might spare your life. If you don't, don't blame us." The tall cultivator threatened.

He also tried to follow them, but the other party was obviously very vigilant. As soon as they entered the area where the rogue cultivators gathered, they kept turning and twisting and turning, and soon lost their whereabouts.

"Does he really want to die that badly?!" Chen Li sighed and muttered to himself.

"you say……"

The tall, imposing cultivator sensed something was amiss.

He was about to ask a question.

Chen Li's mouth opened and closed silently, then he let out a loud shout.

"roll!"

The protective shields of the cultivators trembled, but faced with an attack like the 'Rebuke Technique' that was biased towards consciousness, the shields were obviously unable to completely defend against it, and the cultivators were hit and stood frozen on the spot.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

When the tall cultivator came to his senses, his protective shield had been broken, and his expression changed drastically.

"and many more……"

The next moment, he shuddered, his chest was pierced, and his internal organs mixed with flesh and blood burst out in a cloud of blood foam. His eyes widened, and blood kept spilling from his mouth.

As he lay dying, he remembered who he had encountered this time.

Unexpectedly, their luck was so bad this time that they ended up robbing this notorious thug.

Chen Li's spiritual energy flicking technique was too obvious; no amount of disguise could change it.

"No matter how strong he is, he's only one person. Let's fight!"

The other three regained consciousness. They were all seasoned thugs, and seeing this, none of them ran away. They immediately took action.

Soon, several magical artifacts came rushing in like streaks of light.

Chen Li sneered, quickly put on a protective talisman, stared at the rapidly approaching streak of light, suddenly drew his sword and knocked away one of the magical artifacts, then quickly dodged the other two attacks.

Compared to Qiao Guanyuan, these three were far inferior in both magical artifacts and cultivation.

He threw away the broken sword in his hand.

His body sprinted at high speed with irregular movements, the mud beneath his feet exploding one after another. His figure moved like lightning, and at the same time, Chen Li's spiritual power was repeatedly activated with a flick of his finger.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

It must be said that facing such a close-quarters, unprepared battle was extremely difficult.

Traction is completely useless.

The preparation time was too long; it was completely unusable.

In the blink of an eye, another robber collapsed, and his pressure immediately eased.

Seeing this, one of them finally despaired and turned to run away.

But how could Chen Li let him escape?

Since he had already taken action, Chen Li had no choice but to leave no one alive in order to avoid trouble.

Two blows, "bang!", shattered the protective shield.

Another blow, and his chest was pierced.

The last remaining female robber was almost driven to a mental breakdown, screaming frantically for mercy.

The voice was shrill and hysterical.

For a moment, Chen Li felt a pang of pity, but when he thought about how these people must have killed countless people, and that they had even come to ambush and kill him, he felt no remorse whatsoever.

After the last female robber exploded and turned her head.

Apart from Chen Li, no one else was standing.

"You...you will...die a terrible death!" A robber with a severe chest wound glared with blood-soaked eyes and said with difficulty, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Bang!" Chen Li withdrew his finger, his face expressionless.

His head exploded.

Chen Li then coldly delivered another blow to the other two dying robbers.

He then cautiously looked around.

Perhaps out of fear of the bloody battles here, there was no one around.

He withdrew his gaze and began to search each person one by one.

Four ritual implements.

Among them are one superior-grade magic artifact and three mid-grade magic artifacts.

In addition, there is one Golden Light Talisman, twelve Protective Talismans, ten Lightness Talismans, one mid-grade spirit stone, and more than two hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The harvest was amazing!

Chen Li couldn't help but feel somewhat fortunate that the first person he dealt with was the leader of the robbers.

All the good things come from him.

Otherwise, with both the Golden Light Talisman, the strongest defensive technique for the Qi Refining stage, and a high-grade magic weapon, this time it would have been quite dangerous.

Chen Li stuffed the things into his robe and left quickly without looking back.
