Ding Huan only came to Shengdao Street after asking around.
Bian Xingfu's Ritual Supplies, Ding Huan stood at the entrance of this store, scanning inside with his spiritual thoughts and found that they sold talismans. He thought to himself, this must be the place.
Ding Huan's spiritual thoughts expanded quickly, and he soon scanned to the far away Yan Mei and a few others, who were speaking on the street.
Three city guards were cleaning up the bodies, and Ding Huan knew that the four bodies should have been killed by Laodu.
Ding Huan was pleased with Yan Mei's words. Yan Mei was clever, knowing exactly what he wanted to do and helping to articulate it all.
Ding Huan retrieved his spiritual thoughts and walked into the ritual supplies store.
Ding Huan glanced around, and saw that this place was filled with talismans of various low quality. The first level talismans were the best in this store.
As for the second-level talismans, there were also one or two, all locked away by low-level restrictions. They seemed to be the store's treasured items.
Ding Huan's gaze fell on a talisman pen, which should be a low-level magical artifact.
"Master, what are you looking for?" Seeing Ding Huan lingering for a while, a clerk came over to inquire.
Ding Huan pointed at a first-level vine talisman and asked:
"How much is this first-level entangling vine talisman?"
"Three crystal stones." The clerk replied.
"Let me take a look at it." Ding Huan said naturally.
The clerk looked surprised at Ding Huan, then shook his head:
"You can't see it if you don't buy it."
Ding Huan's spiritual thoughts fell on the entangling vine talisman, feeling that its quality was just average, probably not as good as the first-level talismans he himself made.
Thinking of this, he took out a talisman and handed it to the clerk:
"Look at my talisman."
"This is a first-level fireball talisman?" The clerk recognized the talisman in his hand at a glance.
What surprised him was that this fireball talisman was actually better than the first-level talismans he had in his store.
"How much does this talisman sell for in your shop?" Ding Huan asked.
The clerk put down the talisman and said indifferently, "One crystal stone."
Ding Huan chuckled and said, "You want three crystal stones for this talisman, but I have something better that I'm willing to sell to you for just one crystal stone. You really need to charge such high prices for your business."
"Don't buy it if you don't want to." The clerk showed no concern for Ding Huan's tone.
Ding Huan did not leave; instead, he took out a bundle and dropped it on the counter. "I have two hundred of these talismans. Are you sure you don't want to buy them?"
The clerk was startled, and he immediately reached for Ding Huan's bundle.
Ding Huan pressed his hand down:
"I'll give you a fair price. If you can't come up with a price, have your boss come. If your boss can't offer a price, I'll leave."
Ding Huan's spiritual thoughts had already scanned to find that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from inside. From this person's aura, it seemed to be a fourth-level gene……
No, here it cannot be called a gene martial artist anymore. It should be an exercise at the fourth level.
After seeing Ding Huan take out a pile of first-level talismans, this person sent out a message.
"How much are you selling?" As the voice came out, a middle-aged man walked out.
As if to suppress Ding Huan, as soon as this guy came out, Ding Huan could feel the suppressive aura from this person.
Ding Huan thought to himself, "Haha, he really doesn't want to go at it hard."
However, the boss seems to not want to spend the cost to get these talismans from him.
Indeed, in this most chaotic Xifeng City, there were simply too many cases of forceful seizures.
As an individual with an unknown background carrying so many talismans, it's natural for people to want to test him.
"One talisman, two crystal stones. If it's not acceptable, I'll leave," Ding Huan said, picking up his bag.
The middle-aged man hummed and a powerful aura directly surged towards Ding Huan.
Ding Huan stood there without moving, not even a single ripple in his clothes.
The middle-aged man's face changed as he realized that Ding Huan's strength was far stronger than his own.
At this moment, two enforcers had already stood at the door. The middle-aged man was certain that even if he added those two enforcers to his side, they would not be able to defeat Ding Huan.
"Comrade, I'll buy all these talismans from you, at your price."
The middle-aged man was very astute. Knowing that he had encountered a difficult opponent, he changed his mind without hesitation.
Ding Huan threw the bundle into the middle-aged man's hands:
"Two crystals for one talisman was the price before. Now it's three crystals for one talisman. You can count them, I have limited time."
"Friend, that's the price our store sells them for. You give us three crystals, we don't even make a profit..."
The middle-aged man's face looked a bit uncomfortable.
Ding Huan coldly hummed, and his powerful cultivator's aura crushed over, making the middle-aged man feel as if a huge iron hammer had struck his chest, forcing him to involuntarily retreat.
Fortunately, that oppressive aura disappeared quite quickly, otherwise, he would definitely have spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Do you have any complaints? If you keep talking, I'll have to raise the price again."
Ding Huan looked at the middle-aged man with a tone of sarcasm.
"No, I don't have any complaints." Having been around Shengdao Street for years, how could he not know that this place is where tough guys come to play?
If he dared to resist, the next moment, his store would be stolen and he might even lose his life here.
"Good, there are a total of 203 first-level talismans in this bundle.
I'll be generous and round it up to 210 talismans. That would be 650 crystal stones, is that okay?"
Ding Huan seems to have a look of no big deal if I take some losses.
The middle-aged man looked crestfallen:
"Comrade, there's no need to round up. We'll just go with the 203 talismans, a total of..."
Ding Huan's face sank:
"How come, as the manager of the store, you're bullying me into not being able to count as well as you? You want to cheat me?"
"Never," the middle-aged man said, feeling the intense lethal intent.
He almost immediately took out a box and counted out 650 crystal stones and handed them to Ding Huan as soon as he finished speaking those two words.
Ding Huan dropped the crystal stones into his backpack, and then looked at the boss with a laugh:
"Today is the last time you'll mistreat a customer. Next time, be honest. Remember, you don't get a second chance."
Just as Ding Huan finished speaking that sentence, he heard a commotion coming from afar. When he used his spiritual awareness to scan over, he found Yan Mei and Laodu being surrounded by a group of people.
The show is about to begin. Ding Huan, with his bag on his back, walked out of the shop.
"Manager Yuan, are we just going to let this go?" The clerk asked eagerly as soon as Ding Huan left.
"Manager Yuan," the middle-aged man's tone was icy as he watched Ding Huan's back.
"Just an exercise ant dare to eat black in our shop, he is waiting. The two of you keep an eye on him and see where he goes."
The last sentence was addressed to the two burly men standing at the door.
These two burly men were called by the middle-aged man to help subdue Ding Huan, but when they discovered Ding Huan's strength was beyond their ability to handle, they dared not make a move.
……
At this moment, Yan Mei and Laodu were surrounded by a group of people, while the three veteran city guards trembled with fear.
"Who dares to kill my Tielei Alliance people? I've never seen such a thing."
A stout man with a formidable physique walked out, staring coldly at Yan Mei.
"Master Yi, if you want to take action, we will support you. Let's work together and kill these scoundrel city guards."
As the leader of the Tielei Alliance spoke, people in the crowd immediately chimed in to support him.
The support was like a spark, igniting the crowd. Originally, the Tielei Alliance had only about twenty people, but now there were hundreds in the crowd cheering.
Both shops continued to see people come out and join the Tielei Alliance.
It was as if the Tielei Alliance was the righteous authority, and Yan Mei and Laodu with three city guards were criminals.
From a distance, Ding Huan watched, feeling sorrow for these people.
They are being robbed and killed, yet they still come to support others.
"Uncle Qi, many shops are joining in, should we…?"
Seeing the crowd surrounding the city guards, the woman from the only general store couldn't help but come out again.
She didn't finish her sentence, but was stopped by the white-haired uncle, who seemed to be worried about her really going out.
"It's fine, let's see what happens. Moreover, if you go up now, you won't gain anyone's favor."
"What should we do, Laodu?" Yan Mei was feeling anxious.
His strength was average, and he might not even be able to beat a single member of the Tielei Alliance in a fight.
"What should we do? Let's kill them." Laodu said with a careless attitude, spitting out dozens of water arrows.
Seven or eight members of the Tielei Alliance standing in the front, without any warning, spat blood from their foreheads and fell down.
In addition to the Tielei Alliance members, there were also five people who came to help who were also killed by Laodu's water arrows.
Some of the people who wanted to charge forward saw that in the blink of an eye, ten or more people had died. They quickly stopped their steps and began to retreat.
They had come to help not because the Tielei Alliance really had such a great appeal, but because the Tielei Alliance was very ruthless.
Now that they had come to help, they could also build a relationship. If anything ever went wrong and they incurred the wrath of the Tielei Alliance, they could just bring it up as an excuse.
Who wouldn't want to join in if it was an easy way to gain favor?
Now that they realized it was not without effort, and could even cost their lives, no one was willing to step forward anymore.
The master of the Tielei Alliance had never thought that a monkey would dare to attack on his own initiative. Seeing that several of his people had been killed, he was enraged.
He grabbed the blade, sending a gust of wind whirling.
In this moment, Yan Mei felt that there were countless blade-like attacks everywhere in the wind. Even before the wind had reached him, bloodstains began to appear on his skin.
"Laodu…" Yan Mei, in fear, called out to Laodu urgently.
Laodu could only spit out a few water arrows and then retreat frantically.
It couldn't withstand the fierce wind and blade attacks. Let's retreat first and see about Yan Mei. As for him, it's up to him to seek his own fortune.
A burst of blood light erupted, followed by a shriek.
Everyone turned their gaze to Yan Mei, because it was the iron talisman master's gale of blade attacks that had struck him.
What puzzled everyone was that Yan Mei was also shocked, but he looked at the leader of the Tielei Alliance.
When fresh blood shot out from the leader of the Tielei Alliance, everyone realized that the scream before was indeed his.
"Plop!" The leader of the Tielei Alliance collapsed to the ground, and only then did everyone notice that his back had been cut open with a blade, unknown to him.
