Chapter 507: A group of cultivators demanding their payment

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

The two men in front of them were cultivators of the Fourth Stage. After sensing their aura, Yu Jiaojiao determined that they were cultivators that had just entered the Fourth Stage Realm.

The strength of Song Shuhang's party wasn't inferior to the other side. Yu Jiaojiao was a monster cultivator of the Fourth Stage, and there was another cultivator of the Fourth Stage inside the space capsule, Li Yinzhu. If we consider that Song Shuhang had various talismans and magical treasures, as well as other objects, with him, his side had a higher chance of coming on top if the two groups were to clash.

But given the ability and rich background of the Limitless Demon Sect, perhaps these two cultivators of the Fourth Stage were only the vanguard, and there were other powerful cultivators of their sect rushing over here...

They couldn't be careless.

Moreover, their party had just entered space and had yet to adapt to the environment. Therefore, they might be at a disadvantage if they started to fight immediately.

Such being the case, should they go for a tactical retreat first? They could quietly follow these guys soon after and see if they had other companions. They could also spy on their attacking methods and obtain detailed information about their fighting capacity and so on.

After all, if you knew yourself and the enemy, you would always be victorious!

If they had the opportunity, it was a pretty good idea to make a surprise attack as well.

Song Shuhang grabbed his size-reducing purse and prepared to take the silver dragon puppet out. He was planning to use the puppet to get away from here and avoid clashing with these guys head-on.

But right at this time, Yu Jiaojiao excited voice was transmitted beside his ear. "Shuhang, open the safety helmet and let me out. I'll give them a lesson!"

Yu Jiaojiao hadn't had any opportunity to fight after advancing to the Fourth Stage Realm. Therefore, she had been itching to get into action for a while. Moreover, she had the bloodline of a flood dragon and managed to jump through the dragon gate with much difficulty, gaining the ability to assume a half-human and half-fish form. Her fighting capacity was quite a bit higher than ordinary cultivators of the Fourth Stage.

At this time, she felt as though she could fight three ordinary cultivators of the Fourth Stage all alone!

At the same time, Li Yinzhu's voice was also transmitted beside Song Shuhang's ear. "Careful, the enemy attacked!"

A pitch-black flying sword quietly appeared next to Song Shuhang's back, launching its attack in the same instant Li Yinzhu said those words.

The pitch-black flying sword was concealed very well… and only in the instant it launched its attack did the sword qi explode.

"I'll be in charge of the defense!" Yu Jiaojiao said. Just as she said these words, she had already arranged two layers of defense on Song Shuhang's body.

"Riiip!"

The flying sword stabbed Song Shuhang's back.

The corner of the mouth of that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect standing on the right rose and turned into a smile… it was a success!

His pitch-black flying sword was a special sword specialized in assassinations. There were several types of magical runes engraved on it that added properties such as 'armor piercing', 'anti-evasion', sharpening', and so on.

An ordinary defensive technique was unable to ward off the attacks of his black sword. Therefore, he was confident that the sword would destroy the two layers of defense on Song Shuhang's body.

But in the next moment, the smile on the face of the disciple stiffened.

Just as the pitch-black flying sword stealthily approached Song Shuhang and stabbed him, it was stopped by an invisible barrier before it could even reach the two layers of defense protecting Shuhang. No matter how much it tried, it was unable to break through the invisible barrier.

This invisible barrier wasn't something that Yu Jiaojiao had arranged.

It was a field of powerful repulsive strength, and the pitch-black flying sword was blocked by it. The flying sword emitted a long cry, and the blade of the sword unexpectedly started to bend.

"It's Fairy Firefly's repulsive strength… are these the lingering effects of the mysterious technique she used earlier?" Song Shuhang immediately understood what was happening.

Earlier, Fairy Firefly used a mysterious technique that generated a powerful repulsive strength. The repulsive strength was powerful enough to directly deliver them into space from the surface of the Earth, making them arrive in the proximity of the moon. Therefore, one could well imagine how terrifying the strength generated by her mysterious technique was!

Even if only the residues of the mysterious technique were now left on the body of Song Shuhang and the others, they were more than enough to ward off the attack of the pitch-black flying sword. It wasn't all; the remaining power even rebounded the sword!

The pitch-black was forcefully turned around and repelled by the repulsive strength. In the end, it flew away and pierced a meteorite a kilometer away. Even its master wouldn't be able to retrieve it within a short period of time.

"It's a good opportunity! Shuhang, quickly open the safety helmet. I'm going out! Look how I beat these guys!" Yu Jiaojiao shouted.

❄️❄️❄️

Unfortunately, Yu Jiaojiao didn't have the opportunity to enter into action once again.

It was because someone else decided to meddle...

In the instant the pitch-black flying sword was repelled, fifteen figures rushed over from a distant place.

Each of the figures had bulging muscles and was more than two meters tall. Just by standing there, these tall and strong men were capable of making the onlookers feel a lot of pressure.

They positioned themselves between Song Shuhang and the disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect. Afterward, they swiftly shot a glance at Song Shuhang's group, but their vision finally fell on the bodies of the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect.

"There is no mistake. It's them… they are disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect," a man wearing a leather armor said in a grave tone after shooting a glance at the 'Limitless' word embroidered on the black daoist robes of the other party.

Just as the voice of the stout man wearing the leather armor faded, the other fourteen men clenched their fists and surrounded the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect.

It felt as though a group of brown bears had surrounded two pitiful lambs.

The two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were dumbfounded. They were unable to understand what was happening!

In the next moment, the fifteen men quickly took out banners and flags from their clothes, putting them together and unfurling them.

Returning money that is owed is the right thing to do!

Life is hard and full of hardships. Return us our hard-earned money, Limitless Demon Sect!

Ren Baodong of the Limitless Demon Sect owes us 50,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage. Return us our hard-earned money!

Return us our HARD-EARNED money!

Give us a way to survive. Return us our hard-earned money!

We're equal, fair, lawful, patriotic, professional, honest, friendly, democratic, civilized, and gentle… we only want our hard-earned money!

At the same time, there was also the magnified version of a 'contract'.

It was a contract of the world of cultivators… from the looks of it, a disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect hired these fifteen men for a total of 50,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage. He hired them to chase and intercept that sword light madly dashing about in space and the treasure above. The time limit was seven days.

Whether or not the treasure was retrieved, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect was supposed to pay them the spirit stones after seven days.

Within these seven days, the fifteen stout man had to intercept and stop the sword light at least five times, giving that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect called Ren Baodong an opportunity to seize the treasure on the sword light.

The fifteen stout men were professionals. Therefore, they gave that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect a total of nine opportunities to seize the treasure within those seven days.

But in the end, that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect was still unable to subdue the treasure...

The fault lay with him and not with them. Unfortunately, he wasn't too lucky~

As the deadline of the contract approached, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect quietly disappeared. It seemed that he had no intention of paying that fee of 50,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage.

It was one of those bad cases where their employer ran without paying the money. However, the fifteen men didn't take it to heart. After all, they were also specialized in demanding payment.

❄️❄️❄️

After getting a gist of what was happening, the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect furrowed their brows and said, "Ren Baodong? Sorry, but we don't know anyone with that name."

The Limitless Demon Sect was a huge sect and had tens of thousands of disciples, as well as numerous branches. Therefore, it was impossible for them to know each disciple of the sect.

The stout man wearing the leather armor sneered, "Hehe, I don't care if you know him or not. Quietly hand over those 50,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage. Otherwise, don't blame us fifteen brothers for being rude."

The disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect standing on the right said coldly, "That's impossible. Why should we give you the spirit stones that Ren Baodong owes you? It's the one that owes the money that should return it! If you want those spirit stones back, go look for Ren Baodong! You can forget about getting any spirit stone from me!"

The face of the man wearing the leather armor darkened as he said, "Hehe, so… you don't intend to pay us?"

"You don't want to return us the spirit stones? If you owe money, it's only natural to return it! If you don't, how can you even be considered a man!" another stout man said as he clenched his fists.

"Since they have soft and fair skin... in the worst case, we can tie them up and sell them to that sect of female cultivators, the 'Moonlight Jade Maiden Alliance'. We should be able to sell them for several tens of thousands of spirit stones of the Fourth Stage! We might even make a small profit."

"Wasn't someone from the 'White Robe Demon Sect' looking for male cultivators with fair and tender skin the last time? Perhaps we can sell these two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect for a high price there."

The fifteen stout man started to make all sorts of comments.

That disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect on the right was thoroughly enraged. He was a proud disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect, who had ever dared to shame him like this?

"You are courting death!" the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect roared as he activated a seal. In the next moment, he stretched out his hand and launched a lightning technique.

The ray of lightning changed into a sharp spear that was making crackling noises. Its power was incredible, and it directly shot toward that man wearing the leather standing in the front!

"Bah!" The man wearing the leather armor snorted and clenched his right hand. Afterward, the muscles on his body started to move up and down as though they were alive.

Soon after, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the sharp spear directly, crushing it to pieces with the strength of his hand.

A bodily cultivator!

Just like Dharma King Creation, this stout man wearing the leather armor had decided to walk the path of a bodily cultivator. As a consequence, his physical body was extremely powerful. Although he was only a cultivator of the Fourth Stage, his body was already stronger than a cultivator's of the Fifth Stage Realm.

After breaking the sharp spear to pieces with his bare hands, the stout man wearing the leather armor disappeared and reappeared in front of that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect on the right, punching him in the abdomen.

The disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect immediately arranged a defensive barrier. However, the strength of the punch of the stout man penetrated the barrier, hitting the body of the opposite party.

Although the barrier wasn't broken, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect squatted down and assumed a fetal position, foam coming out of his mouth. He seemed to be in great pain.

"Not only does this guy that not want to return the money, he even dares to curse and attack others. I really hate death-courting garbage like you!" The stout man wearing the leather armor took his fist back with a cold expression on his face.

After seeing that his companion was instantly KO'ed, the other disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect calmed down.

The corner of his eye twitched as he tried his best to calm himself down. "Wait a moment, gentlemen. The one that owes you those spirit stones is Ren Baodong. Therefore, you should look for him. What is the point of looking for us?"

The stout man wearing the leather armor clenched his pot-sized fist and said, "Why do you think it's useless? You are both disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect. You are from the same faction as that Ren Baodong. If we can't find Ren Baodong, we'll obviously look for you guys. Anyway, enough with this nonsense, return us the spirit stones!

One of the nearby stout men added, "According to the agreement, there is the interest rate as well… wait, no. It's the penalty for breaching the contract. The payment is 50,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage, as well as additional 500 spirit stones for each day the fee is not paid. It's been four days already… so it's 52,000 spirit stones of the Fourth Stage now!"

"You damned loan sharks!" the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect standing on the left said as he clenched his teeth.

"Bah, if I were a loan shark, I would charge you 10%, if not 50%, as a daily penalty for breaching the contract," the stout man wearing the leather armor said disdainfully. "My brothers and I are famous figures in the world of cultivators. We are professionals, and a group demanding our pay in a legit way. Don't lump us together with those amateurish loan sharks!"
