Chapter 2384: Spilled the Meal, Still Want to Leave?
Facing the man's madness, the woman's eyes were full of terror, and seeing his strike land, the madness in the man's eyes grew even stronger.
He hated it.
But just as the sword blade was about to slash the woman's neck, another sword light suddenly flashed, blocking not only the man's strike.
The next second, a black-clothed man appeared at his side, a sideways kick directly sent the man flying, crashing hard into the city below.
He shattered several buildings, dust and smoke rose, and it was unknown whether he lived or died.
"Cousin."
Seeing the black-clothed man, the woman instantly rejoiced; the love in her eyes could not be concealed, it simply overflowed.
She threw herself into his arms.
While embracing the woman, the black-clothed man spoke in a low voice.
"Cousin, this is not the place to talk; let's leave first, lest the Heavenly Family people arrive and cause trouble."
The black-clothed man clearly understood that fighting in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng was a grave taboo; now was not the time to profess feelings.
Hearing this, the woman obediently nodded; such a demeanor she had never shown before her husband, not even once.
The two prepared to escape amid the chaos, but at that moment someone suddenly snorted coldly and said.
"You spilled the food, and you still want to leave?"
Huh???
Hearing the voice, the two only then realized that, unbeknownst when, more than ten figures had surrounded them.
These people were the diners who had just been eating in the canteen; they had been in good spirits and finally managed to get their food.
They were about to feast heartily and enjoy a good meal.
Heaven knows how hard it is to get a turn at the canteen in Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng.
But who would have thought that before they could even take a bite, the next second a sword light fell and destroyed everything.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, their expressions even more ferocious than the man's earlier as they stared at the two.
An expression as if they wanted to rush forward and tear the two apart alive.
Just being gazed upon by such mad eyes made the woman feel a chill all over, her heart full of suspicion.
What's wrong with these people? Are they all gone mad?
Unconsciously, she hid behind the black-clothed man, while he forcibly suppressed his tension, feigning calm as he clasped his fists and said.
"I don't know what you fellows mean; we have no grudge between us, and you are not Heavenly Family, so there's no need to stop us."
But hearing this, the crowd only grew angrier the more they thought about it.
We queued for several Shíchén, just caught a whiff, hadn't even taken a bite, and it was destroyed—how could we accept that?
"You spilled the food, and you still want to leave?"
"Today I will make you bury my food with your lives."
"Give back my food."
Huh???
Hearing the crowd's words full of resentment, the two were dazed, wondering what nonsense they were speaking.
What food? Why must we atone for the food?
The place where the two previously lived had no canteen, so naturally they were unaware of this.
But faced with the couple's confusion, the surrounding crowd grew ever more ferocious.
The killing intent grew stronger, making his scalp tingle and his heart feel uneasy; the black-clothed man hastily said.
"Please don't be anxious; I am willing to compensate, I am willing to pay for the food."
In the black-clothed man's view, these people were crazy, speaking words he could not understand at all.
Their expressions were even more ferocious and terrifying, simply unreasonable.
Since reasoning with madmen is impossible, the black-clothed man quickly changed his tone.
To escape, let's just pay; better to lose wealth than face disaster.
He had already prepared to pay, but who would have thought that upon hearing his words, the crowd still furiously shouted.
"Compensate? Can you afford it?"
"With just you, you dare to compensate for my food?"
"You dog, quit bragging here."
"Pay with your life."
Huh???
This time, the black-clothed man truly could not understand.
Initially you were the ones who should compensate, yet now you keep saying you can't afford it—what exactly do this bunch of madmen want?
Before the black-clothed man could say more, someone already took the lead and attacked.
"Die."
With an angry shout, one of the clan heads first lunged at the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, the others likewise rushed forward in succession.
After great effort to obtain the meal, it was destroyed by this dog couple—damn them, damn them.
Facing the crowd's siege, the black-clothed man and woman were utterly panicked.
With so many people, they stood no chance; moreover, there were beings above the Ancient Immortal Realm among them, making struggle pointless.
"Seniors, fellow Daoists, I will compensate; I have immortal crystals and treasures—take whatever you like."
With his life at stake, the black-clothed man could not care about anything else, hastily raising his space ring and shouting.
What treasure could compare to one's own life?
Encountered a group of lunatics, and they were powerful lunatics; at this point, we could only sacrifice wealth to preserve our lives.
But the middle-aged man's loud cries for help went completely unheeded.
Immortal crystals? Treasures? How could those compare to their food? Damn things, this is utterly outrageous.
So, facing the black-clothed man's roar, everyone's speed not only didn't weaken in the slightest, but actually grew faster.
Seeing this, the black-clothed man also panicked completely, unable to help shouting at the woman beside him.
"What the hell did you do?"
Facing the black-clothed man's angry shout, the woman was also completely bewildered, weakly replying.
"Brother-in-law, I didn't do anything."
The woman truly didn't know; just now she had been busy dealing with her husband, and hadn't done anything else.
Along the way, she hadn't provoked anyone either.
If these people were members of the Heavenly Family, that would make sense, after all they were fighting in the city, which inherently violates the rules.
The Heavenly Family's fury is also understandable.
But these people aren't Heavenly Family members either, leaving the woman utterly puzzled as to why this would happen.
The woman couldn't think of any reason, unaware of what the current situation was.
And the black-clothed man was utterly speechless; he had just arrived, only to be surrounded by so many people.
What kind of situation is this, who can I reason with?
He has some personal moral issues, and his actions are indeed despicable, especially his cousin's husband.
But he hasn't broken any heavenly laws, right?
Seeing that these lunatics really wanted to tear them apart alive, and fighting them would offer no chance of victory.
In his desperation, the black-clothed man also came up with a clever idea, immediately shouting.
"Wait."
"We two are now criminals of the Heavenly Family; if you kill us, how will you answer to the Heavenly Family?"
Since we're no match for these lunatics, we can only invoke the Heavenly Family, hoping to make them calm down a bit.
They live within Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng; even if they're ill, they wouldn't be so crazy as to not recognize the Heavenly Family, would they?
Their fighting inside Thus English: Thus English: Dengtianxiancheng already violates the regulations; the Heavenly Family will certainly not let them off, and this is the only idea the black-clothed man could come up with.
