Chapter 72: Bounty for Capture, Throwing Money to Escape with One's Life

  "Cough!" A powerful force struck Chen Tao's body, sending him flying backward. Chen Tao coughed up blood, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.

  "Chen Tao!" Ye Chen, who was desperately dealing with the five congenital realm cultivators, heard Chen Tao's cough and shouted loudly, his eyes anxious, his body momentarily stopping.

  The five of them suddenly rejoiced, this was a rare opportunity, and they simultaneously made their ultimate moves. The originally somewhat chaotic and confusing place suddenly became densely packed with palm shadows and fist shadows in an instant.

  "Not good!" Ye Chen was shocked, but had already fallen into the attack of the five people. Ye Chen's control over himself was still very strong, his body changed shape, his palm turned into a sword, and he blocked the attacks of the two people in front of him, but the attacks of the other three people all landed on Ye Chen's body.

  "Pffft!" Ye Chen was attacked by three people at the same time on his back, and the powerful force made Ye Chen spit out blood on the spot. Ye Chen also took advantage of this force to charge forward fiercely towards the two men in front of him.

  Ye Chen's palm turned into a sword, with an eerie angle, following the power of the three people behind him. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the front of two people, almost sticking to their bodies, his palm chopping down on theirs.

  Ye Chen's palm was equally sharp, leaving a dent on each of their bodies, and the two were instantly pushed back by this sharp force, creating a gap between them.

  Ye Chen's figure moved, and he rushed out from the gap, quickly rushing towards Chen Tao. The middle-aged man with a broken arm was about to beat Chen Tao half to death with a playful face, but unexpectedly, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him, and then the middle-aged man felt his whole body's hair standing on end.

  The other five people shouted loudly to be careful, but it was of no use. Ye Chen quickly rushed over and with a swift slash of his palm at the throat of the armless man, all the arms that came to block him were severed on the spot.

  The man with the severed arm hadn't even felt the pain when his throat was struck by a palm, and his neck shattered on the spot, his head dangling, falling to the ground.

  It all happened in a flash, and the other five people didn't even have time to help. The man with the broken arm died on the spot.

  "Cough cough!" Not just Chen Tao, Ye Chen was also in a bad state. His internal energy had been depleted too much and he had been attacked by the opponent's joint forces. The current Ye Chen was also seriously injured.

  "Run!" Ye Chen pulled Chen Tao to make a distant escape. The other side had five people, even with two injured, they could still knock out the two of them. Seeing the situation clearly, Ye Chen was not such a foolish person, knowing it couldn't be done but insisting on doing it, that wasn't bravery, that was stupidity.

  "Where did he go!" The five congenital realm strongmen behind him were furious. Seven people came to capture a first-stage congenital realm and an ordinary mortal realm young man, but they actually managed to kill or injure two of them, and still hadn't caught the person. This made the faces of the five men lose all their dignity.

  Ye Chen's escape was no longer a matter of pursuit, but a matter of dignity. The fact that seven people couldn't catch two made several people's old faces lose face, so the remaining five people furiously chased after them. In the hearts of these furious five, there was no longer any concept of capturing alive, they all thought about how to torture their opponents to death!

  Two people fled, with five chasing after them. Ye Chen and Chen Tao had no experience fighting against so many innate realm experts at once. Even the few heavenly days and third-level demonic beasts they encountered before were only one or two, although the defense of a third-level demonic beast was much stronger than that of a human, under Ye Chen's sharp sword energy, it could only be killed.

  However, the seven of them are all congenital strongmen. Ye Chen unexpectedly killed two of them, but there are still five people left. Moreover, Ye Chen used his full strength to attack and consumed a lot of energy. His current speed is less than half of his usual speed.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao ran to the crowded places as much as possible. This is a vagabond city, with vagrants from all directions. Some of these vagrants are not strong, while others are absolutely powerful. Even the four major gangs have to give face, and some people are dignitaries who come to the vagabond city just to buy something or take a stroll.

  In short, the streets of Wandering City were filled with all sorts of people. Ye Chen and Chen Tao rushed into the crowd with blood flowing from their mouths, but at most they only caught people's attention for a moment. Some who didn't have much power quickly made way, while others continued to stroll leisurely, not giving way to the two men.

  Ye Chen and Chen Tao didn't have time to let each other go, Ye Chen pulled Chen Tao around those who wouldn't give way, first dodging this difficulty before anything else.

  But the five people behind him were different, a strong man in the Innate Realm shouted loudly: "The Beicheng Gang is doing things, whoever catches those two escaped people in front will be rewarded with 10,000 Flowing Coins!"

  10,000 Vagabond Coins!

  Anything related to money is always so attractive, 10,000 Wanderer Coins, saying more is not too much, saying less is not too little. For those who have just arrived in Wandering City and are moderately powerful, 10,000 Wanderer Coins is absolutely not a small amount.

  As soon as someone heard that a reward of 10,000 wandering coins was offered to catch the two in front, many people's eyes lit up and stared at Ye Chen and Chen Tao. When they saw that both Ye Chen and Chen Tao had blood flowing from their mouths, many people became restless and eager to move.

  The two were seriously injured, this was the first impression that people had of Ye Chen and Chen Tao.

  Seeing the malicious gaze of the crowd, Ye Chen and Chen Tao suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. The five people behind them were not something that the two of them could handle alone. If so many people attacked together, they would be captured without even putting up a fight.

  Ye Chen's face turned pale with pain, reluctant to part with the child, unable to escape his fate. Ye Chen ran, one hand holding onto Chen Tao, the other rummaging through his bosom, thirty-two jade coins suddenly scattered into the sky.

  Jade coins shone brightly under the sunlight, thirty-two jade coins seemed not many, but they were so eye-catching. This was the largest market value on the surface of the Wandering City, each one equivalent to one hundred wandering coins.

  It's like in the era before, people used those red banknotes, don't mention thirty-two of them, even just one floating in the sky is so eye-catching. It's not that people don't have that much money, but this could be something gained without effort, and it's a very precious thing, how can it not attract people's attention?

  When these jade coins are scattered, they shine so brightly under the sunlight that everyone looks up at the sky, regardless of whether they have money or not.

  Some were caught by people, while others fell to the ground with a thud. The crowd here was thrown into chaos. Promises are not as good as cash, and even if someone wanted to catch Ye Dust and exchange them for 10,000 wandering coins, they were blocked by these people rushing over to grab the money.

  In the face of money, the power that people burst out with is often astonishing, and when many people are scrambling for the same thing, chaos is inevitable.

  Many people saw the jade coins flying in the sky, and also saw people scrambling for them. Some even shouted "Don't grab the money, it's mine!" Such words made more people think that there was a lot of money inside, thinking that picking some up would be a gain, and not picking any wouldn't be a loss. Even more people rushed in.

  Those five innate realm powerhouses couldn't get through at all, the road was packed with people, blocking the entire road to death. The five of them didn't dare to make a big move either, although the North City Gang was very powerful, they also didn't dare to face the fury of the entire Drifter's City.
