Chapter 1277 More money is needed
The girl on top of the spirit boat had a clear, melodious voice, tinged with a lazy smile.
However, these words struck the ears of everyone present like a thunderclap.
The two female cultivators of the Lingsha Clan, who had already resolved to die, were completely dumbfounded.
It's protection money again...
They stared blankly at Ning Ruan, then at the group of bandits on the deck who were clearly no good either, their minds completely blank.
Meanwhile, the five-person team that had surrounded them burst into laughter after a brief moment of surprise.
"Hahahaha! What did I just hear? Protect?"
The leader of the bandits laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
While laughing, he pointed his long sword directly at the large spirit boat where Ning Ruan was sitting, his face full of sarcasm: "You damn bandits are also from the Boundless Bandits, what are you pretending to be saviors for? If you want to steal food, just say so, why beat around the bush, aren't you ashamed?"
"Exactly, who are they putting on this for?"
"Protection? How hypocritical."
As soon as the leader of the bandits raised his hand, his subordinates behind him immediately fell silent.
He narrowed his eyes and glanced at everyone on the spirit boat before finally fixing his gaze on Lei Zhen. "Senior, please stop joking. The five of us are indeed no match for you, but we are Lord Blood Butcher's men."
“If you all want to take it by force, we naturally can’t win. But I’m afraid you’ll have to give an explanation to Lord Blood Butcher.”
"..."
Lei Zhen stared at the other person expressionlessly, his heart completely unmoved.
Bloodbath?
He had certainly heard of the other party's reputation.
In terms of both strength and influence, they are far superior to them.
In the past, he might have been more wary.
but now……
He secretly glanced at Ning Ruan on the top of the spirit boat.
With this scourge around, let alone Blood Slaughter, even the Heavenly King himself would have no choice but to obediently prostrate himself.
If he could really take down this nemesis, he would be more than happy to do so.
But this is obviously unlikely.
“Blood Butcher…” Ning Ruan took a sip of milk tea, looked down at Lei Zhen, and asked curiously, “Is he very powerful? How does he compare to your leader?”
Lei Zhen was silent for a moment, then answered truthfully, "Very impressive."
"In terms of strength, he is far superior to the leader."
"His power is also stronger than ours. He has countless bandits under his command, including six Golden Core cultivators."
Ning Ruan nodded: "They are indeed much stronger than you guys."
Lei Zhen: "..."
The endless bandits on the deck: "..."
Although I know this is true.
But when I heard it, it felt different.
"Since you know our leader, you shouldn't compete with us for the target. If you retreat now, we'll pretend this never happened, and when we see our leader, we'll remember your kindness."
The leader of the Wuyin bandits stared arrogantly at the spirit boat opposite them, only showing a slightly more tactful attitude when facing Lei Zhen.
"Senior probably doesn't want to cause any misunderstanding with our leader, right?"
Lei Zhen: "..."
Why can't you see that the one in charge at this moment isn't him, this so-called senior?
If he were in charge, would he have to be so humble?
What a bunch of idiots!
He didn't speak, but silently stepped aside.
"Did you hear that?"
Ning Ruan turned to look at the two Ling Sha Clan female cultivators who were in despair.
He still wore that harmless smile.
She shook the gourd in her hand, which was full of milk tea, and the ice cubes inside made a crisp sound.
Then he said slowly:
"Their leader is very strong, so the risk of us taking action is even greater, right?"
"..."
The two female cultivators nodded blankly, a completely subconscious reaction.
Ning Ruan's smile deepened: "The risk is high, so naturally the price will be a bit higher."
"so……"
She paused, then asked calmly, "Do you still need protection now?"
"..."
The two female cultivators from the Lingsha Clan stared blankly at Ning Ruan, unsure of how to react.
The ones who want to kill them are the Boundless Bandits.
And this group that seemed to be there to save them were also the Boundless Bandits.
On one side is hell.
On the other side, it still seems to be hell.
"want!"
However, after only a moment's hesitation, one of the female cultivators, who was more decisive, shouted hoarsely.
She ripped off the jade pendant from her waist and threw it with her last bit of strength.
"This is a deposit. If you can escort us to the Eternal Realm, we will be very grateful!"
Bet!
The worst outcome would be being arrested and sold off.
Rather than doing that, let's give it one last shot.
The storage jade pendant drew an arc across the boundless sky.
The leader of the bandits instinctively reached out to snatch the jade pendant.
But Lei Zhen was faster than him.
The cultivation level of a Golden Core Realm expert was fully revealed.
He caught the jade pendant and threw it towards Ning Ruan on top of the spirit boat.
Ning Ruan caught it casually and nodded in satisfaction.
His gaze swept across the vast array of bandits on the deck:
"What are you still doing?"
"Didn't you see the guest was in danger?"
"Go down and rescue them? Do you expect a tenth-realm cultivator like me to do it?"
"..."
The endless bandits on the deck looked at each other in bewilderment.
save people?
they?
Can they save lives too?
In the end, Ning Ruan's lingering influence was still stronger, even though the scene seemed extremely strange.
The bandits of Wuyin still gritted their teeth and flew out.
Upon seeing this, the five Boundless Bandits who were still surrounding the two female cultivators all changed their expressions drastically.
They never imagined that the other party would actually dare to make a move!
Previously, their confidence stemmed solely from the reputation of their own leader.
In terms of pure strength, at least those five are no match.
But these guys, even knowing who their leader was, were still completely unafraid.
In this situation, there is no other way but to run away!
"withdraw!"
The leader of the bandits made a snap decision and turned to run away.
But Lei Zhen's speed is even faster.
The innate supernatural abilities of the Thunder Leopard clan erupted instantly.
With a flash, only a blur remained on the deck.
He sped away like lightning, instantly blocking the way for the five people.
"Trying to leave now? Too late."
Lei Zhen roared, his body crackling with lightning, and his fists condensed with violent lightning power.
"Senior, do you really intend to become an enemy of our leader?"
The leader of the bandits roared, his voice tinged with despair, despite his fierce but weak demeanor.
"Noisy."
Lei Zhen snorted coldly and suddenly unleashed both fists.
"Boom——"
A thunderous roar erupted, and two thick bolts of purple lightning, like angry dragons emerging from the sea, instantly hurtled towards the five people.
"Spare their lives for now."
As Ning Ruan finished speaking, the violent lightning power around Lei Zhen suddenly subsided.
The purple lightning, which was originally enough to kill all five of them, was forcibly withdrawn by him just before it touched them.
Even so, the remaining lightning power still struck the five people, causing them to cough up blood and their bodies to turn black.
He was clearly seriously injured.
