Chapter 193

"Old Feng's precious boots, how could they be in your hands? What is your relationship? As far as I know, that guy treasures these Stepping Cloud Boots very much and would never lend them to others!"

Following these words, a colorful figure emerged from nowhere, appearing under a huge flower tree about twenty zhang away from Han Li. Net His figure was medium, with mismatched eyes, a face full of black spots, about forty years old, and he was carrying seven or eight pockets of different sizes.

However, on his ugly face, at this moment, there was a look of astonishment! He stared fixedly at the spirit boots on Han Li's feet, seemingly unable to believe that these "Stepping Cloud Boots" appeared on Han Li's feet until now.

"Who is your Excellency, and why did you ambush me?" Han Li didn't answer the opponent's question, but instead asked back impolitely. He didn't want to be led by the nose by the opponent and be suppressed in momentum.

The ugly man was stunned at first, but immediately became furious, his ugly face showing a fierce look. He raised his hand, wanting to teach this ignorant kid in front of him a lesson immediately, but then remembered something and forcefully suppressed his cruelty, putting his hand down. But his mouth still said viciously:

"Kid, don't think that just because you're wearing Old Feng's spirit boots, I wouldn't dare to teach you a lesson! When Old Man Feng Yue gave you the boots, didn't he mention my name, Zhong Wu of Spirit Beast Mountain? However, it's also strange; you are clearly a person from Yellow Maple Valley, how could he give you the boots? Could it be that you are Old Feng's illegitimate son? But looking at you, you don't look like him!"

The ugly man said as he looked at Han Li with strange eyes.

This time, it was Han Li's turn to be angry. He snorted with an ugly face and said coldly:

"Your Excellency, don't randomly pull relationships with people! That guy Feng Yue is already dead; these boots were peeled off his feet!"

"Dead? The madman Feng Yue?"

The ugly man, who was originally looking aggressive, jumped three feet high after hearing this, becoming suspicious! He then couldn't help but retreat a few steps and re-examined Han Li.

"Did you kill him?" The fierce man took a deep breath, his eyeballs rolled around, and he asked with a trembling voice. In his expression, there was no longer the cruelty and fierceness from the beginning.

"Not bad, do you want to avenge him?" Han Li put his hands behind his back and watched the opponent calmly.

But the silk thread secretly taken out from the storage bag had already quietly wrapped around his ring finger.

The reason he would frankly admit in front of this person that he killed the person was mostly to establish his own authority, hoping that this person would know the difficulty and retreat, and not provoke him again. He didn't want to fight to both sides' detriment with anyone as soon as he entered this place and delay his plan to pick herbs.

Although judging by this person's tone, it seemed he had some friendship with Feng Yue. But Han Li believed that the possibility of the opponent truly avenging Feng Yue was absolutely not very high! After all, cultivators themselves were mostly cold-hearted and desireless people, not to mention people like the opponent, who were fierce and evil!

Of course, if the opponent insisted on taking action to avenge Feng Yue, Han Li would have no choice but to strike first. He would risk consuming a lot of physical strength, open his movement technique fully, and then unexpectedly use the silk thread on his finger to quietly wrap around the opponent's head, letting the opponent die without anyone knowing.

But Han Li knew very well that the chance of such a hasty surprise attack succeeding would absolutely not be very high! It was only about thirty or forty percent.

Because the distance between him and this ugly man was too far; even if Han Li's movement technique was fast, he couldn't guarantee a one-hit kill! And as long as the opponent casually released a defensive spell on his body, his silk thread would have no use.

"Avenge? Stop joking, do I look like that kind of boring person?" Sure enough, things were as Han Li thought. After the ugly man heard Han Li's words, he laughed and said disdainfully.

"I did have some friendship with this guy before. However, there was no deep friendship! Now that the person is dead, the friendship is naturally gone!" The ugly man said shamelessly, but his words clearly revealed his stance, and he didn't look the least bit embarrassed.

Han Li remained silent. Although he didn't relax his guard, he finally felt a little relieved. It seemed he didn't have to fight a big battle as soon as he entered this central area.

"However, little brother! You are truly ruthless! That guy Feng Yue is not easy to deal with, especially the few top-grade magic tools on his body, tsk tsk! Those are all rare and precious items!"

The ugly man rubbed his nose and suddenly became enthusiastic toward Han Li, even changing his address! However, after this seemingly casual question, his person retreated a few steps again, opening up a greater distance from Han Li.

This made Han Li, who saw this scene, secretly smile bitterly!

According to Han Li's estimation, even if he turned his face and attacked the opponent now, the chance of success had already dropped to less than ten percent. These "experts" were indeed all old and cunning, experienced, and none of them were easy to deal with!

And he guessed that the opponent mostly thought he had obtained all of Feng Yue's magic tools, which was why he showed hidden fear toward him.

After knowing all this, Han Li smiled and remained silent. He neither said he had obtained the magic tools nor said he hadn't. This made the fierce man annoyed and even more fearful.

"Is the masterpiece on the wall in front of the gate your doing?" Han Li thought of the scene in front of the gate and asked calmly.

"Bullshit! That was done by Han Tianya, the pervert from the Masked Blade Dock. I wouldn't do such a boring thing! It's a pity to waste so much flesh and blood! If it were fed to my little darlings, it would be great. I heard that the flesh and blood of cultivators are great supplements."

At first, Han Li could listen to what the opponent said with a smile. But when the ugly man said the last few sentences, took out a large cloth bag from behind, and took out a bloody piece of meat and threw it in, Han Li's smile became forced, and even faintly showed signs of turning green.

The fierce man secretly watched Han Li's expression at this moment and couldn't help but secretly feel proud.

This guy from Yellow Maple Valley was, after all, too young and too green!

Just a few words from him made him start to feel uneasy. If they really fought, this was absolutely a not-so-small flaw.

However, it was truly surprising that this guy could kill that guy Feng Yue! But no matter how he looked at him, he felt that this person was extremely ordinary and didn't look like a powerful character capable of this.

Logically speaking, this guy was young and his magic power was shallow. Even if he had a few good magic tools, they couldn't compare to Feng Yue's large batch of top-grade magic tools like the Yellow Luo Umbrella and Stepping Cloud Boots! Just like that, Feng Yue still fell into this kid's hands. This matter was truly a bit strange. But the Stepping Cloud Boots were indeed worn on the opponent's feet, which was also absolutely true.

Could it be that he didn't kill him, but happened to pick up a leak or there were other reasons?

Zhong Wu thought and thought, but his brain was still a bit confused, unable to make an accurate judgment on Han Li's strength. But to let him take the initiative to test it himself, he would rather die than do it. How could a smart person like him do such a thing of taking risks?

After the ugly man couldn't figure it out, he put away the cloth bag, blinked his mismatched eyes a few times, and said to Han Li with a face full of smiles:

"By the way, I haven't asked for little brother's name yet. Can you tell Zhong?"

"Han Li of Yellow Maple Valley."

There was nothing to hide about this. Han Li, whose face had improved a lot, answered calmly.

"So it's Brother Han! I have never heard of little brother's great name before. I suppose your Excellency is a new elite disciple of Yellow Maple Valley! I wonder, how much do you know about this central area, Brother Han?" Zhong Wu was actually as enthusiastic as a long-lost friend, appearing extremely warm.

"I don't know much, but Brother Zhong is much older, so you must know more than Han, right?" Han Li didn't know what the opponent meant, and his vigilance rose.

"Hehe! Brother Han, if you trust Zhong, why don't we exchange information about the central area? This is something that is good for both of you!" After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Wu finally whispered his true intention.

Han Li was stunned upon hearing this and secretly pondered. Although the matter of privately exchanging information with other sects without the sect's permission was explicitly forbidden by the sects, in reality, there were many disciples who did this! Thus, a moment later, he smiled and said:

"Okay, after exchanging information, I think both of us will benefit a lot."

"Haha! Great, I knew Brother Han was not a hesitant person. Come! Let's input the information into the jade slip and then exchange it with each other!" Zhong Wu's face full of large and small spots shone with excitement, and he kept rubbing his hands. It seemed he was looking forward to Han Li's information.

Seeing this, Han Li secretly sneered a few times. But on the surface, he naturally agreed fully.

Copying information was an easy thing! After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Han Li and the opponent finished, and they threw the jade slips to each other.

When the opponent's jade slip was in hand, Zhong Wu and Han Li both probed the general content, and seeing that they were indeed information about the central area, they smiled at each other with their own ulterior motives.

In such a short time, forging fake information was naturally impossible! But when copying, deliberately omitting some key points was naturally a tacit understanding!

After this matter, this Zhong Wu and Han Li seemed to have suddenly become much closer! He even chatted with Han Li about some strange stories in the cultivation world! Looking at the appearance of the two talking and laughing, one really couldn't believe that they had almost fought to the death not long ago. It seemed that both of them were experts who knew the way of advancing and retreating!

Although Han Li was full of smiles and seemed to be chatting happily with the opponent! But in his heart, he was secretly slandering.

If you want to chat, then chat! Why keep such a long distance! As long as he took a step forward, the opponent would definitely retreat two small steps with a smile. Although Han Li didn't have the heart to kill this person now, the opponent's caution still made Han Li smile bitterly.
