Chapter 315: Professional Robber for Twenty Years, Then Robbed by Lin Meng

Lin Meng saw that the three people seemed to be heading back toward the city; there had been little danger on the way there, so she thought for a moment and turned to chase after the two who had left.

As long as Lu Wei and the others return to the city immediately, they should be safe.

But those two scoundrels who were profiteering through robbery, now that she had encountered them, she could not help but act to uphold justice.

Lin Meng had heard Ye Xiu mention that Qi Blood Pills are currently the most effective and direct way for awakened ones to enhance their supernatural power.

However, the raw materials for refining Qi Blood Pills are not quickly renewable resources, and each pill is worth tens of thousands.

High-quality Qi Blood Pills can even be resold for over a hundred thousand each.

This is nothing short of a nightmare for students from ordinary families.

Ganan Academy provides one Qi Blood Pill for free each month; any additional pills must be obtained by the students themselves.

New students who have just enrolled receive three Qi Blood Pills as a starter, but just now each of them handed over five.

In other words, two of those Qi Blood Pills were supplied by their own families; lacking these pills means they cannot enhance their qi and blood for an entire month.

If they had no family backing, wouldn't those hundreds of thousands just go down the drain?

For a student, this is tantamount to a devastating blow.

Putting it more broadly, perhaps losing those few Qi Blood Pills would cause them to fall behind step by step, never again able to keep up with others' growth.

Since Lin Meng happened to witness their despicable conduct, she could not ignore it.

She summoned her flying sword, took to the skies via sword flight, and quickly locked onto the two individuals' position.

You shameless freeloader, you like preying on the weak, don't you? Today, this granny will also bully the weak and taste the thrill of robbing under dark skies and high winds!

Given that this place is not her real world, Lin Meng can act here with far fewer scruples; a mere robbery is no big deal.

After locking onto the target, Lin Meng confirmed there was no one nearby, immediately covered her face, pulled up her hoodie's hood, and then dove downward.

At the same time, several figures stood on a high wall at the edge of a barrier about a kilometer away, one of them holding a hollow fist before his eyes with one hand, continually observing the distant situation.

Suddenly, her pupils constricted sharply, and she cried out in alarm.

"Team Captain, I see someone flying in the sky!"

"No, it's sword flight—someone is using sword flight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wu Jiang and the others' pupils contracted instantly, their hearts greatly shaken.

Anyone capable of sword flight definitely possesses strength far beyond the Proficiency Realm.

But the problem is, they've never heard of any powerful individual in Dragon Country whose supernatural ability includes sword flight!

"Could it be a foreign expert? Zi Yun, are you sure you saw a person and not some anomaly?"

Many anomalies can fly, but among humans, those who can stay airborne for long are few and far between—even Bai Shen can only fly alone, and nobody has ever heard of sword flight.

Zi Yun, who possesses a thousand-mile eye, declared firmly:

"Team Captain, I couldn't possibly be mistaken—it's not an anomaly, it's a human, and from her silhouette I can tell she's a woman."

"Can you make out her physical features?"

Zi Yun nodded: "I saw her clearly—she wears ordinary clothes, a black hoodie with blue jeans, her hair slightly long and wavy, and she headed back toward the city."

Upon hearing this, Wu Jiang immediately contacted the companions guarding the city gate.

Although they are currently occupied with their mission and cannot verify it, a powerful being capable of sword flight, whose identity is unknown, would be welcome if friendly, but if they were an foreign awakened one, they would have to be on guard.

Lin Meng dove down on her sword toward the two, quickly coming to an abrupt halt three meters above the ground, blocking their path.

The wind kicked up sand that blew into both of their faces.

After they regained their senses, they saw, in the moonlight, a figure standing in midair, looming above them and gazing down, which frightened them into stumbling back several steps at once.

"Who... who are you?"

The short man pointed at Lin Meng and stammered, unable to see her face clearly in the backlight, only vaguely feeling that the silhouette outlined by moonlight was quite graceful—surely a beauty.

The tall man, meanwhile, was shocked, his heart already ringing with alarm.

Someone capable of such methods is very likely a Transformation Realm expert, someone they could not afford to provoke.

Moreover, tonight the outskirts of the city are unsettled, with many powerful beings gathered at the barrier just outside, preparing to encircle an S-rank anomaly.

It's possible this expert is strong reinforcement sent from Ganan City.

Thus, the next second, the tall man immediately yielded.

"Sir, let's talk this out properly—I don't know when we two offended you."

Lin Meng raised an eyebrow; this tall fellow really knows how to yield and bend.

She said coldly:

"Just now."

"Just now?" The tall man thought for a moment and realized, 'Could this big shot be from Ganan Academy? Did they come to help after learning we robbed students?'

While the tall man was begging for mercy, the short man suddenly grinned.

"Your voice is lovely, little sister—come down so I can get a look at your cute self."

As soon as he finished speaking, the short man received another slap from the tall man—this one much harder than before—spinning him in place before he slammed hard to the ground, actually knocked out by the blow.

Lin Meng's mouth twitched slightly as she heard the tall man cursing.

"He's really an idiot, thinking only with his lower half—sooner or later he'll get you killed!"

After berating his companion, he hurriedly knelt before Lin Meng.

"Please forgive this idiot, sir; I'm not actually close with him."

Lin Meng regarded him impassively, then slowly spoke.

"Hand over the pills."

The tall man had already anticipated this and had the pills ready.

"Sir, I just collected a total of fifteen Qi Blood Pills from those three; they're all here."

Lin Meng did not reach out, continuing in a low voice:

Not enough.

The tall guy gritted his teeth secretly, could only reach into his pocket again, and took out a small bottle.

This is my own stash, only three pieces, big boss I really have none left.

Lin Meng still didn't reach out, out of the corner of her eye she glanced at that short guy.

The tall guy immediately understood, hurriedly took out the medicine bottle from the short guy's person as well, opened it and let out an exclamation.

He actually hid an extra one behind my back, this bastard!

Lin Meng waved her hand, and the three medicine bottles instantly left the tall guy's hand, flying through the air toward Lin Meng.

She waved her hand again, and the medicine bottles vanished without a trace.

The tall guy who witnessed the whole process was startled so much his heart almost jumped out.

My god, my god, this technique— which great deity could have come up with this?

The voice is so young, and female; the tall guy really couldn't think of any great deity within the borders of Dragon Country who could match this.

After obtaining the medicine, Lin Meng coldly stared at the tall guy.

I advise you, stop doing wicked deeds.

You too are a superhuman power user, while others bravely defend their homeland fighting the strange, you here are doing robbery, doesn't your conscience hurt?

The tall guy was already sweating coldly, deep inside only fear, no remorse at all.

If he had that awareness, he wouldn't be doing this line of work.

Night watch, that's not something a person would do!

Lin Meng's patience is limited, her voice turned even colder.

Answer me! Doesn't your conscience hurt?

The tall guy was at a loss from the questioning, does this great deity like Q&A?

Then how should he answer? Does it hurt? Surely it doesn't!

He has been professionally robbing for twenty years; this meager cultivation is all from robbery, if his conscience would hurt, he'd probably still be just a novice at the entry level.

Lin Meng's lips curled slightly, 'Looks like it doesn't hurt.'

Then I will now bestow upon you a sword, to see if you really hurt or not.
