"This...is this the legendary ghost?" Wang Qiang exclaimed.

"That's incredible," he continued, his eyes full of awe.

"What about those girls who were abducted by the bandits? What happened to them?" Wang Qiang and the villagers looked at the broken limbs in front of them and couldn't help but feel worried about the abducted girls.

"We have to go and take a look." Shiji glanced at Wang Qiang and said calmly.

Wang Qiang nodded after hearing this.

Afterwards, Shiji and the villagers walked towards the bandits' lair.

There is a huge pond in a nearby hill.

By the pond, a group of girls were sitting on chairs. Their faces were pale, their legs were trembling, their eyes were red and swollen, and their eyes were filled with tears, but they dared not cry or make any sound.

Most of these girls were slightly older than Wang Qiang, but a few looked younger and appeared to be underage.

Seeing these girls, Wang Qiang's heart was filled with pity.

They were obviously abducted. Although they were good-looking, the bandits did not know how to show mercy to them, which led to them being treated like this.

Shiji sighed and said to Wang Qiang, "Take these girls back and settle them down. There may be girls from other places who need help. You and other villagers can help send them home."

Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked the villagers to take the girls away from the village.

After leaving that nightmare place, the girls finally relaxed and were no longer so scared, with gratitude in their eyes. When they saw Shiji and others saving them, their hearts were filled with hope.

"Thank you very much for saving our lives." The girls knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shiji and others to express their gratitude.

"Whatever you ask us to do, we are willing to do it," they continued.

Hearing these words, Shiji smiled and waved her hands, saying, "It's just a small favor, you don't have to thank me so much. Get up quickly, don't hurt yourself."

The girls were even more moved when they heard this. "Thank you, sir." They said again.

When Wang Qiang returned to his house, a little girl came in with a basin of hot water. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Shi Ji shyly. "Sir, the water for washing is ready." She said timidly.

Shiji nodded and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Wang Qiang's sister, Wang Lanzhi. When the bandits came, I hid in the cellar." The little girl explained a little uncomfortably. After all, it was easy for her to be shy when such a handsome man appeared in front of her, not to mention that he was a hero who killed so many bandits.

"Oh." Shiji responded, then turned around and started to take a bath. After washing, he took out a white robe from his Qiankun bag, put it on, and walked out.

Wang Lanzhi's face flushed even more after she saw Shiji come out after washing himself. She didn't know whether it was because she was fascinated by the handsome guy or because she was shy.

Shiji walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, drank two sips, and asked, "Where are Wang Qiang and the others?"

"My brother and several villagers are discussing things with the village chief." Wang Lanzhi replied.

Shiji nodded: "If that's the case, then we are destined to meet. Give this thing to your brother when he comes back, and tell him that I'm leaving." As he said that, he took out an item and handed it to Wang Lanzhi.

"Brother Shiji, are you leaving?" Wang Lanzhi couldn't help but ask when she heard it.

Shiji smiled and nodded: "Yes, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll leave first."

Seeing that Wang Qiang’s sister cared about him so much, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Then he stroked Wang Lanzhi's hair and said with a smile: "This purse contains a night-shining pearl worth ten thousand taels of gold, which is enough for you and your brother to live for a lifetime. Take this money."

Wang Lanzhi looked at the purse in her hand with a panicked look on her face and then shook her head: "No, I can't take your money. We are country folk, how dare we ask for such a valuable thing?"

"Take it." Seeing that Wang Lanzhi insisted on not accepting it, Shiji did not force her. She put the purse on the table and left.

Wang Lanzhi stood at the door and watched Shiji go away. She felt a little disappointed. When she returned to the room, her brother Wang Qiang just walked in from outside. He was a little surprised to see her holding a purse in her hand.

"Xiaozhi, who gave you this? By the way, where is Brother Shiji?" Wang Qiang asked.

Wang Lanzhi quickly explained: "Brother Shiji has passed away, and this is the money he left for us."

Wang Qiang was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Wang Lanzhi and said, "Xiaozhi, you are not in love with Brother Shiji, are you?"

Wang Qiang was full of respect and gratitude for Shiji's handsome appearance and life-saving grace. It was not surprising that his sister fell in love with such a hero.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Lanzhi retorted shyly since she was just a little girl after all.

Wang Qiang smiled when he heard Wang Lanzhi's words, and then he said nothing more. He knew what his sister was thinking, but he also knew that such things could not be forced.

After Shiji left the village that night, he was not in a hurry to determine where to go. In this strange place, he had no acquaintances and no fixed residence. He needed to get familiar with the surrounding environment and terrain first in order to better complete his plan. At the same time, he also needed to find a place to stay and rest for a while.

So Shiji walked in the barren land for a long time, and finally chose a towering mountain as his foothold. This mountain is not only majestic, but also has lush trees and flowers on it, like a paradise isolated from the world.

However, just as Shiji was preparing to rest here, there were several explosions in the sky, as if someone was fighting. He couldn't help but feel a little confused. Then a gust of wind blew over, making him feel refreshed. He opened his eyes and saw two men in black fighting fiercely on the top of the mountain in front of him.

One of the men in black was wearing a large black robe and his true face could not be seen. But from his movements and moves, Shiji could tell that the martial arts he practiced were extremely strange. Every attack contained a strong murderous intent, and his momentum was very fierce, as if he wanted to tear his opponent to pieces.

The other man in black was also wearing a large black robe, but his training method was completely different from the former. The battle between the two was so intense that Shiji couldn't help but watch it fascinated.

His skinny body was like a long bamboo pole, and his arms were incredibly thin...

"This person's cultivation seems to have reached the Golden Core Stage of the cultivators in the prehistoric world."

Shiji stared at the black-clad man in front of him, speculating in his heart. Then, he quickly glanced around. The two black-clad men standing on the top of the mountain did not notice Shiji's presence. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing coldness and ruthlessness.

"Ni Tian, ​​hand over the things of the Haotian Sect, and I may spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Ha ha!"

The man in black, Ni Tian, ​​suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haotian Sect? Haha, what is that? Are you worthy of mentioning it? Today, even if I, Ni Tian, ​​risk my life, I will definitely take back the treasure that belongs to my Tianmo Sect. This concerns my life and death, Zhao Ye, go to hell!"

Before he finished speaking, Ni Tian flashed and instantly appeared in front of Zhao Ye. The long sword in his hand, like a flash of lightning, stabbed Zhao Ye's chest fiercely!
"boom!"

However, shockingly, the sword was firmly blocked by a huge palm.

That was Zhao Ye’s right palm!

"You... have actually broken through to the peak of the Golden Core?"

Ni Tian stared at Zhao Ye with eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.

Zhao Ye's right palm contained amazing power. Ni Tian felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the sword flew out of his hand, and the whole person was also hit by a huge force and flew away.

"puff."

Ni Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as paper. He looked at Zhao Ye with fear in his eyes.

"Ni Tian, ​​you can't escape today." Zhao Ye took a step forward and instantly caught up to Ni Tian. He clenched his fist and smashed it hard towards Ni Tian's forehead.

"boom."

Ni Tian's body was like a leaf blown by a strong wind, crashing directly into the mountain wall. The entire cave collapsed in half due to the huge impact.

"Cough cough."

Ni Tian coughed painfully. He felt the blood in his body surging. He was seriously injured. He looked at Zhao Ye with despair in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to have broken through to the peak of the Golden Core. No wonder I was defeated so quickly! But I'm not willing to accept it. You were not my opponent at all back then."

Zhao Ye heard this and sneered: "Humph, not your opponent? Today, I will let you see what real strength is."

When Ni Tian saw Zhao Ye's cold smile, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a flash of fear flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, decided to fight to the death, and prepared to use the secret technique to restore his cultivation.

However, Zhao Ye sneered, and his figure flashed like a ghost, and instantly appeared in front of Ni Tian. Before Ni Tian could react, he felt a chill on his neck, and a sharp blade was already on his throat. His breathing suddenly stagnated, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Zhao Ye, you can't kill me!" Ni Tian shouted in horror.

"Don't you want to kill me? Why, are you scared now?" Zhao Ye said in a cold tone.

"Don't forget, I'm from the Demonic Sect. If you kill me, you won't live long." Ni Tianqiang endured the severe pain and tried to threaten Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye sneered even more when he heard this. He put away his smile and his eyes became sinister and terrifying: "Ni Tian, ​​do you think you still have any status in the Heavenly Demon Sect? The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect has long since fallen, and those old antiques in your sect have long since died. You are no exception! Today, I will never let you go."

"The sect leader has fallen? Impossible! How could the sect leader fall? He is the sect leader of my Demonic Sect! You are talking nonsense, I will kill you!" Ni Tian roared, trying to break free from Zhao Ye's restraints.

"Nonsense? Humph..." Zhao Ye sneered again, "Ni Tian, ​​you really can't escape this time."

After saying that, Zhao Ye waved his hand, and a ball of blazing flames instantly enveloped Ni Tian. The flames were extremely hot, and once touched, they would immediately burn. Ni Tian's face instantly became extremely hideous, and his body continued to twist. He struggled frantically, but to no avail. He felt the severe pain coming from his body, and kept screaming miserably.

Zhao Ye stood aside, watching Ni Tian's painful struggle with an expressionless face.

After a while, Ni Tian finally stopped struggling. His face was full of pain and ferocity, as if he had been tortured in hell.

“Zhao Ye, you have committed a heinous crime by doing this. The people of the Heavenly Demon Sect will never let you go.” Ni Tian’s voice trembled, and his face became more ferocious. “Just wait to accept the wrath of the Heavenly Demon Sect!”

Zhao Ye heard this, a trace of mockery flashed across his face: "I know you still have a certain amount of power in the Heavenly Demon Sect. But you should understand that in this world where the strong are respected, only the strong can control the fate of others. And I am a strong man here. What's more, I also have the strength of the peak of the Golden Core. Do you think I will be afraid?"

Ni Tian looked at Zhao Ye's cold and ruthless face, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He knew that he could not escape today, but there was still a trace of resentment in his heart.

Zhao Ye looked at Ni Tian's frightened expression and continued, "Don't doubt my words. Here, I am the king. I advise you to hand over all the treasures on you, and maybe I will consider leaving you with an intact body."

Hearing Zhao Ye's words, Ni Tian's face flashed with despair. But he was still unwilling to succumb to Zhao Ye's tyranny. He gritted his teeth and decided to fight Zhao Ye to the end.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye shook his head, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. He raised his foot, ready to give Ni Tian the final blow.

However, at this moment, a sudden pain made Zhao Ye lower his head. He was surprised to find a wound in the center of his palm, and blood was flowing out. But he did not feel any pain, on the contrary, his eyes were full of shock and anger.

"How is this possible?" Zhao Ye looked at his hands, his eyes full of disbelief. "I clearly used all my strength just now, how is it possible that I couldn't hurt him and hurt myself instead?"

He turned his eyes, stared at Ni Tian in disbelief, and asked, "Why?"

"Why? Haha!" Ni Tian laughed, "Do you think I'm really that stupid? I knew you were no pushover, so why didn't I take precautions in advance? However, since you've already caught me, I can only fight you to the death. That's why I used the forbidden technique at the last moment."

After listening to Ni Tian's explanation, Zhao Ye finally understood. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I see, no wonder you were able to dodge my attack. It turns out you were prepared for this."

Ni Tian showed a bit of sarcasm on his face, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, I am indeed prepared. So I decided to fight you, because I know that only in this way can I have a chance of survival. Don't you want the treasure? Come on!"

As soon as Ni Tian said this, Zhao Ye's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. But soon, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, very good. It seems that I underestimated you. In this case, I will send you on your way." (End of this chapter)
