Chapter 638

~11 min read 2,189 words

Li Yi's five-colored fist edge was too stunning. This kind of sharpness condensed by Dao techniques was extremely dangerous in itself, and he had condensed five of them in one breath, combined with dragon and tiger strength.

Such a punch was enough to make him invincible among opponents of the same level.

Although the God-Blood Warrior named Dong Chong before him was powerful and extraordinary, in terms of combat power, he was still inferior to Li Yi. Although he erupted with the hidden ancient power in his God-Blood, he still couldn't cover up the brilliance of this punch.

Instantly.

That divine phantom was pierced through by this five-colored fist light, and Dong Chong's indestructible God-Blood body also suffered heavy damage at this moment.

The five-colored fist edge tore open his muscles, shattered his bones, pierced through his body, and the aftermath turned into a red light, traversing North Waste City, tearing through the night sky, and disappearing to the end of the line of sight.

And under such heavy damage, Dong Chong's purple blood gushed out, and his tall and sturdy body fell down powerlessly with a loud bang, as if it had lost all its strength, and even his consciousness was lost at this moment.

Although a hideous opening was torn in his chest, he still didn't die. The vitality of a God-Blood Warrior was too tenacious, allowing him to survive even with heavy injuries.

However, the winner had been decided.

Li Yi stood with his fists clenched. He stared coldly at the fallen body of this God-Blood Warrior. He had to admit that the God-Blood Warriors of this world were indeed powerful; just relying on their physical body and the ancient power in their bloodline, they could clash with him to this extent.

If these God-Blood Warriors were given some more time to grow, they would definitely be able to compare to great demons, Three-Flower, Mahayana, and other powerful figures in the future.

And this was not the limit of God-Blood.

The end of their path was a god.

Thinking of this, he strode toward the fallen Dong Chong.

"Won, Lord Dayi won, the other party's God-Blood Warrior was defeated." At this moment, the servants and retainers in the merchant Xiu Xiang's house nearby cheered at this scene. They felt excited about the powerful strength displayed by Li Yi.

"Lord Dayi, take his head, hang the head at the gate, and warn those merchants." A retainer shouted.

I don't know what kind of barbaric habit this is, actually liking to hang the enemy's head on the gate.

"Catch him and sell him to a slave owner. A God-Blood Warrior is worth at least ten thousand gold. This can be used to compensate for your losses, Lord Dayi." Another retainer also made a different suggestion.

That is to sell Dong Chong.

Hearing this, Li Yi's expression flickered.

This seemed to be a good idea.

Killing him would be a bit of a waste. Selling him as a slave for ten thousand gold would indeed be a good thing. Ten thousand gold could be exchanged for one hundred red gold, and the purchasing power of one hundred red gold was extremely terrifying; it could buy many rare treasures and could also be used to refine divine weapons.

In this world, the value of red gold is very great.

Li Yi was now empty-handed and penniless, so he really needed a sum of money.

"Kill, or sell?" He soon arrived beside Dong Chong and looked down at this person who had fainted.

Gratifying personal grudges is good, but adults consider the gains and losses of interests more. Killing him would only be satisfying for a moment, and selling him as a slave seemed to be a better choice.

However, just as he was thinking.

Suddenly.

Li Yi's expression flickered, and he looked toward the vicinity of a house that had collapsed into ruins.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing exquisite clothes, with a very ugly expression, carrying two sturdy and strong guards, rushed toward this side.

Although the middle-aged man had no strength, the people of this world had astonishing physical fitness. Although that person was a merchant, he still ran like a gust of wind, and his speed was not slow.

"Lord Dayi, wait, wait." The merchant Lie Hou ran over. When he looked at Li Yi, his eyes revealed fear and respect.

But looking at Dong Chong, who was covered in blood and fainted on the ground, he revealed a bit of urgency. He could see that Dong Chong was not dead yet. If he could be saved, he would only need to recuperate for a period of time, and this God-Blood Warrior would be able to stand up again.

It was just that now, he had lost the right to speak, and whether Dong Chong could survive depended on this Lord Dayi before him.

"Merchant Lie Hou, you despicable villain, actually letting a God-Blood Warrior attack the master's distinguished guest in the middle of the night. When my master returns, he will definitely seek revenge on you." The old servant angrily scolded.

But the merchant Lie Hou was unmoved, his gaze fixed on Lord Dayi.

Here, the only one with the ability to decide all this was this God-Blood Warrior, not a servant in Xiu Xiang's house.

"Do you want to come and die too?" Li Yi stared at him at this moment, his killing intent undiminished.

He knew that the one lying on the ground was just a thug, and the person before him was the mastermind behind this matter.

"I am the merchant Lie Hou of North Waste City. Today's matter is my fault. I am willing to make compensation for everything that happened today, and I hope Lord Dayi can give me this opportunity." The merchant Lie Hou calmed down and then said seriously.

"No matter how much gold, as long as it can exchange for Dong Chong's life."

Li Yi stared at him and understood what he meant.

Wanting to spend money to avoid disaster.

Li Yi's gaze flickered, thinking about whether to give the other party such an opportunity. After all, selling this God-Blood Warrior to a slave owner is also selling, and letting him redeem him might earn a larger sum of money.

And red gold, Li Yi really needed it.

Not only could it be exchanged for massive cultivation resources, but it could also be used to refine divine weapons.

He wanted to see what level of Dao artifact the bald Daoist could refine if he got a sum of red gold. This would also be of great help to the improvement of his strength in the future.

"Merchant Lie Hou, just exchanging for this God-Blood Warrior's life is not enough. I wonder how much gold your life is worth to redeem?"

Suddenly.

Li Yi moved his feet, and the distance of tens of meters disappeared instantly.

"Master, be careful." The two warriors beside the merchant Lie Hou reacted. He felt that this Lord Dayi was going to make a move, and immediately shouted and rushed out, trying to block the other party with his own body.

Even knowing that he was not Lord Dayi's opponent, their loyalty did not allow them to retreat at this time.

"Get out of the way." However, Li Yi just raised his hand.

A true dragon, wrapped in terrifying power, charged and rammed. With just one strike, the two guards before him were immediately blown away by this terrifying power, and their sturdy bodies were directly shattered into several pieces at this moment.

They were not God-Blood Warriors and simply couldn't block Li Yi's dragon and tiger strength.

The next moment.

Li Yi's figure appeared, but he had already grabbed the merchant Lie Hou's neck and lifted him up directly.

Under the powerful strength, this merchant couldn't resist at all and could only struggle powerlessly. His face turned red, and he could even hear the sound of his bones being slowly crushed.

At this moment, Lie Hou understood Lord Dayi's meaning.

Not only was Dong Chong's life in his hands, but his own life was also in his hands.

As long as he was willing, after today, there would be no merchant Lie Hou in North Waste City.

"I am a merchant of North Waste City. In North Waste City, you have no right to kill a merchant. Only the City Lord can take the life of a merchant. This is an iron law. Even if you are a God-Blood Warrior, you cannot violate it. If you kill me, Lord Dayi, then you are violating the iron law and will be stripped of your life."

At this time, the merchant Lie Hou hurriedly spat out such a sentence from his throat.

"Is that so? However, you underestimated my means. As long as I am willing, I can make you die in seven days, or even ten days." Li Yi said coldly.

He did not doubt the merchant's words.

After all, North Waste City is so big. If there were no rules to manage it, it would have been in chaos long ago, and it would not be so orderly. But he is a cultivator, and wanting to kill someone after the fact is also an easy thing.

"You... you know the means of a witch?" The merchant Lie Hou revealed fear in his eyes at this moment.

If he really died in a few days, then even the North Waste City Lord couldn't find trouble with this Lord Dayi.

Witch?

Li Yi hadn't heard of it; he just stared at him and remained silent.

The merchant Lie Hou didn't dare to gamble. He wasn't willing to gamble his own life and the God-Blood Warrior's life on whether this Lord Dayi would make a move, because the cost of losing was too great. In this situation, he could only spend heavy gold to let this Lord Dayi forgive him.

But how much gold is appropriate?

A God-Blood Warrior sells for at least ten thousand gold in the hands of a slave owner, but a God-Blood Warrior of Dong Chong's level can sell for at least twenty thousand to thirty thousand gold, and as a merchant of North Waste City, his life is also worth at least ten thousand gold.

"Fifty, fifty thousand gold. I will pay fifty thousand gold to buy my life and Dong Chong's life. What do you think?" He didn't hesitate at all and said the highest price he had ever paid in his life.

Even for him, this sum of money would require a great price to scrape together.

After all, a merchant cannot put all the gold at home. Most of the gold exists in the form of goods, because only in this way can more gold be earned.

Li Yi looked at the old servant not far away at this moment.

He didn't know the market price here and could only listen to other people's opinions.

The old servant was also old and shrewd. He immediately understood Lord Dayi's meaning, walked over immediately and said, "Merchant Lie Hou, although your fifty thousand gold is enough to buy the life of a God-Blood Warrior and a merchant, my master's house has been damaged, and the distinguished guest has been disturbed by you. If you want to calm this disaster, you must add at least thirty thousand gold."

Eighty thousand gold?

Lie Hou felt that he might as well die like this.

If he took out eighty thousand gold, he wouldn't even be able to be a merchant.

But if he didn't agree today, he would definitely be killed by Lord Dayi.

After a brief thought, Lie Hou gritted his teeth and said, "Understood, eighty thousand gold it is."

He made a promise, indicating that he would definitely pay this money.

If he broke his promise, then he would be no different from being dead in this world.

"Whether to accept your compensation depends on the distinguished guest's meaning. If the distinguished guest doesn't accept it, Lie Hou, you will still find it difficult to survive today." The old servant said respectfully to Li Yi again.

Li Yi's killing intent slightly converged at this moment, and then he threw Lie Hou away: "I will give you three days to send the gold, otherwise it will be a breach of promise."

"Understood." Lie Hou had no choice and made the promise again.

"Get out. You should be glad that you have accumulated enough gold, enough to buy your lives." Li Yi said.

In the end, he chose to let them go in exchange for this gold.

Lie Hou didn't dare to say much, immediately ran to Dong Chong's side, carried the injured and fainted God-Blood Warrior on his back, and then quickly ran toward a direction in North Waste City.

"He is going to find a doctor to treat the God-Blood Warrior," the old servant said: "He made a promise and will definitely send the gold within three days. This is the character that a merchant should have."
