If I really owe him a life, would I have to buy it myself?
It takes money to be dead!
Meng Chong stared and said, “My cousin, do you have the ability to fight him? You should know that even with my strength, 1 endured a blow from him and was almost seriously injured. Could you seriously injure me with your abilities?
“If you don’t have the ability to seriously injure me, how will you deal with him?
“Furthermore, if I didn’t see wrong, you’re injured, aren’t you? How much strength can you still muster?”
Meng Shushu looked at Meng Chong with wide eyes. That overwhelming aura made his heart jump. He felt like a single punch from Meng Chong would be enough to blow him away.
The scene where Meng Chong obliterated the Grandmaster with a punch still shocked him.
“Come, cousin, let’s spar. If you can last three hundred rounds with me, I’ll believe you can handle that enemy, and I won’t consider it as me saving your life. What do you think?”
Meng Chong said while getting ready for a spar.
Meng Shushu’s face turned black, anxiously saying, “No need, Meng Chong, just say how many Spirit Crystals it costs to kill a Grandmaster!”
He was seriously suspecting that Meng Chong intentionally didn’t dodge the blow, just to show off the attacker’s strength, implying that he couldn’t handle him at all!
Meng Chong put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Cousin, what’s with that attitude? Do you think I only care about Spirit Crystals? Well, in consideration of our familial relationship, I’ll give you a discount – you’ll owe me half a life.”
Meng Shushu weakly said, “Can I not owe you anything?”
“I saved your life, and only asked you for half a life owing to our familial relationship. Are you saying you want to deny it?”
Meng Chong said, displeased.
Alright, 1 admit it!
Meng Shushu pulled out a Spirit Crystal note, “Brother Meng, here are five hundred Spirit Crystals.”
Meng Chong solemnly put the spirit note into Meng Shushu’s pocket, saying, “Since cousin, your life is worth only five-hundred Spirit Crystals, I’ll take these Crystals and your half-life. Now we’re even.”
“Wait! Hold on!”
Meng Shushu was terrified. Take half his life?
“One seventh-grade Spiritual Medicine, no, two. How’s that? 1 can’t give anymore, I’m almost out.”
Meng Chong chuckled and said, “My cousin, you’re too polite. This is better. Which one is more valuable, Spiritual Medicine or a life? Let’s settle on two seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines. It wasn’t easy for me to kill a Grandmaster. Can’t just lend my hand for free!”
“As it should be.”
Meng Shushu nodded, and took out a Tianbao Pavilion storage note to give to
Meng Chong. “Also in Qinglin City, two seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines are all I got left.”
“Alright, then we’re even.”
Meng Chong nodded, threw the sledgehammer on the ground, and took the storage note, saying, “I brought the sledgehammer for you. If nothing else, I’ll be off.”
“Safe travels, Brother Meng!”
Meng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Take care!”
Meng Chong turned and left.
“My cousin sure has troubles. Even Grandmaster martial artists have attacked him. Killing one Grandmaster martial artist in exchange for two seventh-grade Spiritual Medicines is a fair deal.”
Meng Chong mumbled to himself as he hurried down the mountain.
I had to help him out; I couldn’t just do it for free. The enemy was Meng Shushu’s, and I helped kill him. It’s fair to ask for compensation.
He glanced at the carriage at the foot of the mountain, unhooked the cart, mounted the horse, and rode off.
“Go to Qinglin City and retrieve the medicines.”
Returning leisurely to Qinglin City on horseback, after covering several miles, he suddenly looked up.
“A Grandmaster martial artist?”
A figure flew across the sky.
Any martial artist below the first rank would probably not even notice. It was a Grandmaster martial artist, and not a beginner. At least a mid-level Grandmaster.
“Going after Meng Shushu.”
Meng Chong hesitated for a moment but didn’t turn around, instead continuing towards Qinglin City.
Suddenly, he looked towards the sky not far to the left.
Another Grandmaster martial artist.
“There’s another one over there. Three Grandmaster martial artists, all heading for Meng Shushu. Is this the work of his enemies?”
Meng Chong pondered for a moment, abandoned his horse, and quickly rushed back to the mountain.
“Cousin is quite wealthy. It seems not excessive to ask a storage bag of treasures as rewards for saving his life, right?”
Meng Chong thought gleefully.
At the same time, he was curious about what could be inside those two sledgehammers. Could it be treasure? These Grandmaster martial artists must have been after that.
Boom!
The battle on the mountain peak has already broken out. A figure maneuvers and dodges swiftly amongst the woods. His movement techniques are brilliant, successfully evading enemies’ onslaught.
Meng Chong did not take action immediately. He quietly hid himself behind a large tree, using its leaves to conceal his form.
“Tian Jin, you betrayed me?”
Meng Shushu glared furiously at one of the three Grandmasters.
“Brother Meng, 1 didn’t want to do this either. But the people you’ve angered are too powerful, their influence too great. They found me, and if 1 didn’t cooperate with them, I was as good as dead.
“And, a grade six Spiritual Medicine, 1 too was tempted.”
Tian Jin said helplessly while he continued to pursue.
“Brother Meng, why not just surrender? What’s the point of running and hiding? You are a scout for Spiritual Medicines, and your ability to discover them is ranked in the top five throughout the Inner Domain. They won’t kill you. In fact, if you side with them, you might even get the protection of a major power.”
Tian Jin suggested.
“How will I, Meng Shushu, become someone’s lapdog? Moreover, those people are cruel and merciless. The moment things don’t go their way, they’ll torment others. Why would I degrade myself to put up with their punishment?”
Meng Shushu was enraged.
One of the two other Grandmaster Martial Artists who surrounded Meng Shushu spoke in a deep voice, “Meng Shushu, reveal the whereabouts of the grade six Spiritual Medicine, and perhaps 1 can turn a blind eye and let you escape.”
“Indeed, reveal the grade six Spiritual Medicine’s location, and we’ll let you escape.”
Another one also spoke.
“Hah, do you take me, Meng Shushu, for a three-year-old child?”
Meng Shushu sneered.
His movement techniques were agile, and his speed was extremely fast. He moved amongst the dense woods, hoping to escape, but he was wounded, and the three grandmasters were not weaker than him, even one was stronger.
Just as he built a little distance, he was quickly caught up with, incapable of shaking off the enemies.
Meng Shushu was somewhat anxious. The longer the time dragged on, the worse it was for him. If the strong ones among those people arrived, he would not be able to escape.
Meng Chong had heard the entire dialogue clearly. Upon hearing about the grade six Spiritual Medicine, his eyes instantly lit up.
This was the highest grade medicine in the Inner Domain, extremely rare, which spoke volumes about its high value.
“Could it be that the grade six Spiritual Medicine is inside the two large hammers?”
Meng Chong silently followed, without any immediate plans to take action.
“Meng Shushu is a scout for Spiritual Medicines, and he is even ranked among the top five in the Inner Domain. This means he must have rich experience in finding Spiritual Medicines, knows where they can be found?”
“Junior Sister needs to refine pills, and she definitely cannot lack Spiritual Medicines. If we have a scout, we can easily find Spiritual Medicines for her, and there will be no shortage of them, right?”
The more Meng Chong thought about it, the more excited he became. He was determined to save Meng Shushu!
No matter who came, it would be of no use!
“No wonder he has so many Spiritual Medicines. He turns out to be a scout. This time, 1’11 let this relative in name owe me a life. After owing me a life, how many Spiritual Medicines will he need to pay back?”
The more Meng Chong thought about it, the happier he grew.
As for offending a Grandmaster, he didn’t care.
For these Grandmasters, he could kill one with each punch, they weren’t threatening at all.
As for the force against Meng Shushu, Meng Chong didn’t care either. Compared to value of Meng Shushu as a scout, offending that force mattered little.
Even if there is a Great Grandmaster among them, he didn’t need to fear them. Worst case scenario, he’ll run.
Moreover, once his power level rises, he can surely defeat the Great Grandmasters in the future.
“Within the Inner Domain, Jianzun Cliff is a top force. Brother Xie’s reputation should have some deterrent power, right?”
That’s what Meng Chong thought.
He continued to lazily trail behind, waiting for the right time to make a move.
Meng Shushu was not in imminent danger yet, it was not apt to act right now.
“The three Grandmasters are too weak. Although Meng Shushu couldn’t escape for a while, he should not be in danger.”
Ment Chong frowned.
With his agile and flexible movements, as well as his great speed, Meng Shushu could potentially escape if he pulled enough distance in this mountain forest.
Moreover, he was continuously running towards the dense parts of the forest.
“This relative of mine will not escape, will he?”
Meng Chong frowned. If Meng Shushu managed to escape, how would he find the opportunity to make Meng Shushu owe him a life?
Suddenly, his brows picked up as he looked to the sky. A figure was descending rapidly.
“One of the stronger Grandmasters!”
A chill ran down Meng Chong’s spine. This person’s ability was not weak and with his own abilities, most likely he could not take him down with one punch.
Perhaps it would take two!
Meng Shushu’s complexion transformed drastically.. The peak Grandmaster had arrived!
