Ding Yi, his face grim, ignored the attacks from the two beside him and walked directly toward Wei Ziliu, who lay on the ground, life or death unknown.
Soon, Ding Yi arrived at Wei Ziliu's side.
At this moment, Wei Ziliu's eyes had already begun to glaze over, gurgling blood spilling from his mouth, and a huge footprint-shaped pit was sunken into his chest.
Ding Yi's casual kick had almost killed this guy!
Seeing this, Ding Yi was momentarily stunned. His strength had grown too quickly, and he had lost track of just how strong he was, but it now seemed that these rogue cultivators posed no threat to him.
Thinking this, Ding Yi crouched down and said to Wei Ziliu:
"Quick, tell me, what are you looking for me for?"
Wei Ziliu's eyes twitched slightly. He looked at Ding Yi, who was squatting beside him with a sinister smile, and mumbled something, but the next moment, a fist slammed his head entirely into the dirt.
Ding Yi retracted his fist, a cold glint in his eyes.
He had clearly seen that Wei Ziliu's mouth was forming the beginning of an insult.
[You have killed a rogue immortal, lifespan +356 years and 34 days]
This swift strike also stunned Ma Dingri and Shi Zheng.
They hadn't expected that Wei Ziliu, about to speak, would still be killed by this fiend's punch. Cold sweat streamed down their temples, and they regretted why they had gotten involved in this mess.
Ding Yi stood up, released their arms, and then tried to make his smile gentler as he asked:
"Gentlemen, you saw it too. This man wanted to curse me; it's not like I intentionally made the first move."
"Now, can you two tell me why you were following me?"
Ma Dingri felt a chill run down his spine from Ding Yi's gaze. Such a great demon was rare even in this chaotic land. He immediately screamed and tried to escape, a large amount of black mist suddenly erupting from his body.
This was Bone-Corroding Poison Mist, the result of Ma Dingri's lifelong cultivation. Any enemy who touched it would instantly have their bones corroded and flesh destroyed, meeting a tragic end.
But the next moment, an arm stretched out from the black mist and slapped Ma Dingri's face with a loud smack.
Pa!!
Ma Dingri was sent spinning into the air, his poison mist scattered by the slap.
[You have killed a rogue immortal, lifespan +412 years and 1 day]
At this moment, Ding Yi's body faintly shimmered with five-colored light. The black gas would instantly be burned into green smoke as soon as it approached Ding Yi, having no effect whatsoever.
The remaining Shi Zheng, seeing Ma Dingri's head twisted seven hundred and twenty degrees on the ground, finally had his psychological defenses collapse, and he screamed out.
"I'll talk, I'll talk!!"
Ding Yi looked delighted upon hearing this. He looked at Shi Zheng and said:
"See, if you had said so earlier, they wouldn't have died so quickly."
"It was Darkwind, people from Darkwind issued a wanted poster! They're looking for someone! This person came here five months ago, around the same time you entered the city, so we followed you!"
Ding Yi was stunned after Shi Zheng finished speaking.
He knew about Darkwind. It was a dark organization in Chaos City that specialized in issuing black ops for people to do.
But how had he gotten involved with Darkwind?
A trace of doubt flashed in Ding Yi's eyes, but he quickly thought of Small Yuan Palace and Evergreen.
"Did Zou He's trap not work? Or did someone in Small Yuan Palace manage to deduce my location? Or has Evergreen finally come back to life and started looking for me?"
Ding Yi couldn't help but feel anxious.
With his current strength, he was clearly not qualified to deal with behemoths like Small Yuan Palace and Evergreen, even though he had spent all his lifespan on a gamble.
"Damn, damn, damn!!"
"I was clearly being very low-profile!"
Ding Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly looked at Shi Zheng, whom he was grabbing by the collar, and slowly asked:
"Who knows about you following me?"
Shi Zheng quickly said:
"Just the three of us, no one else knows. After all, if it's really you, then that's worth three taels of Ascension Ointment!"
Three taels?
Ding Yi chuckled strangely.
He was only worth three taels of Ascension Ointment?
"Let me go, I just took the mission and didn't want to do anything to you..."
Shi Zheng pleaded with a sorrowful expression, looking at Ding Yi's unpredictable face.
"Okay, I won't kill you."
Ding Yi suddenly smiled upon hearing this.
Shi Zheng's scalp went numb. As a rogue cultivator in the chaotic land, he understood a principle too well: free things are the most expensive.
Sure enough, the next moment he heard Ding Yi say:
"But, you stepped on my foot."
As Ding Yi spoke, he pointed to the ground.
???
Shi Zheng looked down inexplicably, only to find that Ding Yi was stepping on his foot. His face immediately turned terrified.
What do you mean I stepped on your foot? You're clearly stepping on me!!
Ding Yi didn't give Shi Zheng a chance to react. He slammed both hands towards his head with a double ear strike, instantly turning Shi Zheng's head into a long strip, red and white matter spraying from his nostrils, and he instantly lost his breath.
[You have killed a rogue immortal, lifespan +376 years and 24 days]
Ding Yi looked expressionlessly at the fallen Shi Zheng, then reached towards the tattoo on his chest and pulled out a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water.
It's been a while since I used you, old buddy.
...
Half a cup of tea later, Ding Yi slowly walked out of the forest, and the next moment, he was stunned again.
He saw three or four people standing there waiting for him outside the forest, and he was quite familiar with the leader, who was none other than Wang An, the manager of Blood Pavilion.
Wang An's triangular eyes had narrowed into slits. He looked at Ding Yi, who walked out of the woods, and then smiled coldly:
"Where is Apothecary Ding planning to go?"
Ding Yi looked at Wang An and then at the forest behind him, and then said with a smile:
"Going out for a walk. You know, pharmacists are under a lot of pressure. A good Ascension Ointment can't be made without a good mood."
Wang An nodded upon hearing this. He looked at Ding Yi and then suddenly said:
"Apothecary Ding, it's very dangerous outside. You shouldn't leave the mountain in the future, to prevent accidentally dying somewhere, which would be troublesome."
"A dead pharmacist is worthless, do you understand what I mean?"
Ding Yi looked at Wang An's cold face and stood there in silence.
But after only a breath, he suddenly laughed:
"Manager Wang, what are you saying? Of course, I understand what you mean."
Seeing this, Wang An didn't say anything more.
In fact, he had come here this time to warn Ding Yi.
Compared to a pharmacist who can create new medicines, Blood Pavilion needs an obedient pharmacist even more.
In this chaotic land, anything can happen. Blood Pavilion is involved in interception and robbery, so they naturally understand the importance of obedience.
"Let's go!"
Wang An looked at Ding Yi's submissive appearance, and a hint of smugness flashed in his heart.
He's still just a pharmacist, easy to handle!
He waved to the people behind him, and then strode towards Chaos City.
Ding Yi raised his head, looked at the backs of Wang An and the others, and then slowly took out the Quicksand Map from his arms and looked at it.
