Chapter 64: Escaping
"Where's the silver? Did you bring it?"
Wu Ming said in a cold voice.
Zhaotianyu unintentionally swept a glance around, and said loudly: "The silver is naturally brought, please look at the face of the Zhao family and let go of the child. The child is young and ignorant, I was also remiss in teaching him, this is my fault. Here, I, Zhaotianyu, apologize to you."
Apologize? Wu Ming sneered even more, this old fox was too cunning.
If Zhao Tianyu's words were to spread, it would naturally be a testament to his good character, not holding grudges against juniors. If they didn't spread, that would be even better, and the Zhao family wouldn't lose face either. If Wu Ming had a strong background, it wouldn't be easy to do anything excessive, but without one, it's even less possible, and he might have to stay here today. Of course, the premise is to take care of Wu Ming first, this is the key.
"Alright, since Master Zhao and everyone else has said so, I will give you this face. However, I want to inspect the goods first. Hmm, you all retreat one li back!"
Wu Ming felt as if he had transformed into Xiao Ma Ge doing underground transactions. Hmm, there shouldn't be any officials ambushing nearby, right? Hehe...
"Good!"
Zhao Tianyu nodded, the anger in his heart had been suppressed to a certain extent, but the current situation was still not clear enough. The "person in the dark" had not appeared yet. He saw him wave his hand, and the people carrying boxes on the other side immediately threw dozens of boxes of silver onto the ground, and then these people all followed Zhao Tianyu as he retreated backwards.
Wu Ming sneered, thinking of scheming against him? He checked the silver and first knocked Zhao Feng unconscious, then disabled his dantian and limbs with a swift move. Afterwards, he put all the silver into his spatial ring.
"Your surname is Zhao, old man said it's ten million taels, you just send one tenth of that, how about it, don't want your son anymore?" Wu Ming shouted loudly.
For this matter, Zhao Tianyu also received a lot of complaints from his family. Now that he heard these words again, he couldn't help but sneer coldly: "Hmph, I don't know who you are? My Zhao family hasn't offended you in any way, it's just that the young master is inexperienced and spoke rashly. You've already killed our people and beaten us up, now I'm even bringing these silver pieces to apologize to you, what more do you want? Don't be ungrateful!"
"Hmph, you're talking as if you're in the right? Alright, a million is just a million, I'll let your son go, and I'm out of here!"
Wu Ming never thought that this old guy would bring enough money, and it's likely that he wants to leave himself here. But sorry, I have a space, so these silver coins can still be taken away!
After finishing speaking, Wu Ming spread his legs and ran away. If he didn't leave now, he was afraid that he would have to stay here.
At this time, it can be said that the silver was also seen, but no one came to take it away. Zhao Tianyu naturally had doubts too, could it be that this guy was really just a lone swordsman?
A lone swordsman, like Tian Boguang, has no backing, and if caught, then so be it. However, at this point in time, Wu Ming's actual strength far surpasses that of Tian Boguang, but in reality, when it comes to being a lone swordsman, he is far inferior. Tian Boguang was a professional, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to single-handedly master the lightness skill.
In terms of lightness, even Iron Fist can't catch up, what kind of speed is that? Iron Fist's strength is at least on the same level as Dugu Yun. This means that the gap between their realms is like heaven and earth, yet Iron Fist still can't catch up to Tian Boguang, it's imaginable how fast that guy is.
Otherwise, it's impossible for someone to travel alone for over a decade without being caught at least once. If this time the matter wasn't so serious, I reckon he wouldn't have ended up in Tian Prison either.
"Not good!" Zhao Tianyu saw Wu Ming turn around and leave, and he knew that something was wrong. He quickly led his men to chase after him. When he saw that the silver was gone, and his young son's bloody appearance, he began to tremble all over, his eyes turned red, and his old face turned beet red.
"Chase, chase me!" Zhao Tianyu said after saying this sentence, took two deep breaths, pressed down the anger to the extreme, and said in an extremely cold tone: "I want to live, did you hear?"
"Yes, master!"
The twenty or so people behind him clenched their fists and responded. To say nothing of Zhao Tianyu, they were also furious, wishing to tear Wu Ming's tendons and bones apart and chop him into a meat sauce. Isn't this cutting off their financial path? Sweeping away their faces?
Don't look at these people, they're not surnamed Zhao, but a few are Zhao's foster sons and the rest are orphans raised by the Zhao family as guards. They've been following the Zhao surname for so long, suddenly this Wu Ming guy appears and swallows 1 million taels of silver from the Zhao family, not to mention beating up the young master of the Zhao family like that. Isn't it a slap in the face? What will outsiders say? That the Zhao family is raising a bunch of idle eaters? Where can they put their faces now?
Lost face, naturally there's no more wealth, can't even bear to hang out at the Zhao's and freeload. As for the Zhao family's "protectors", don't even mention the words "master" or "servant".
When Zhao Tianyu spoke, these hateful people urged their horses on and chased forward. You little brat, wait until I catch you, let you know what's called cruel torture, if I don't make you pee your pants, it's your good luck!
These people don't know that Wu Ming's true purpose is actually them, as long as they can be defeated, it will just be a pile of experience points.
Wu Ming's speed was not fast, although his lightness kung fu was really poor, but it wasn't to the point where he would be caught up just after entering the mountain. This was obviously something he had intentionally arranged. Turning back to look, there were twenty people, with the weakest being a Late Ninth Heaven and the strongest only at the Martial Dao Realm. Looking at their aura, they weren't even as strong as Yang Qian's aura.
With such strength, for Wu Ming, it's also a small threat, but not afraid, didn't he just get 1 million two white silver? At worst, exchange two more toxic fog gold needle flame bombs, that's just 100,000 two white silver, annihilate her.
At this point, Wu Ming could be said to have discovered that the exchange system had benefits other than sucking blood. However, he didn't think of that for now, and first used these people to practice his skills.
One of them slipped into the woods, but somehow managed to let everyone see him, and then disappeared into the woods in an instant. Suddenly, those people didn't discuss much and split up to search for him, completely unaware of the danger here.
Even if they noticed, it's unlikely to cause them concern, and they just disappeared nearby? Just shout out loud, and everyone will rush over in the blink of an eye.
Yes, that's what Wu Ming had in mind. If they were to search for him outside of their line of sight and bring some people to search for him, it's likely that they would still split up into groups, with one group consisting of a strong and weak member working together. At that time, it wouldn't be easy to ambush them. The goal is to make them think he's easy to find, so each of them will want to take credit, and then it will be easier to defeat them one by one.
