Chapter 656: It's a muscular man?
"What's going on? A bunch of stinking farmers, why are you blocking the road?"
Chen Si glared menacingly at the several cultivators squatting and digging in front of him, with Huang Mingshi being the most conspicuous among them.
Huang Mingshi remained silent and continued digging the ground with Zhang Wan.
"I'm talking to you guys, didn't you hear me? You're so annoying! If it weren't for you guys blocking our way, the S-rank monster we were chasing wouldn't have gotten away. I'm speechless. You guys just ruined the S-rank crystal core. Get out of my way!"
Chen Si, who had joined a side sect, was extremely displeased with Huang Mingshi and his group for blocking the way.
At this moment, another cultivator also looked furious:
"Chen Si, you take care of these two. The middle-aged man digging in the soil should be from the Xiaoyao Sect. I've seen him before; he's a farming cultivator. The other one hasn't even appeared on the Heroes Ranking before, and his cultivation level doesn't seem high either. And those other cultivators squatting there, carrying alchemy furnaces on their backs, are probably alchemists. It would be best to eliminate them all. I don't know why the Xiaoyao Sect recruits so many alchemists; sending them to the sect competition is a waste of their spots."
Chen Si nodded in agreement. Apart from sword cultivators and magic cultivators, the support positions of farmers, doctors, and alchemists were notoriously weak. If he didn't eliminate these people, he wouldn't be able to survive.
Huang Mingshi remained silent, seemingly oblivious to the words of the group from the side sect. He focused on digging, casually placing a mutated sweet potato seedling into his mustard seed bag.
Chen Si frowned. Just as he was about to draw his sword, Zhang Wan, who was squatting next to Huang Mingshi, couldn't hold back any longer. It was really frustrating to squat there for so long without making a sound.
"Who do you think you are? What do you mean by blocking the way? Let me tell you this: I opened this road, I planted this tree, and if you want to pass, you have to pay with spirit stones, understand?"
What's with the arrogance?
Huang Mingshi's expression changed slightly upon hearing Zhang Wan's words. He was just thinking about how to pull Zhang Wan back when Chen Si made his move. He acted decisively, severing Huang Mingshi's hair with a single sword stroke.
Zhang Wan quickly grabbed Huang Mingshi and pulled him behind him: "You still dare to lay a hand on me? What? Haven't you heard of our Xiaoyao Sect? Once you have the name, you're part of our Xiaoyao Sect. Besides, it's despicable to lay a hand on a weak peasant cultivator."
After the troublemaker Zhang Wan spoke his piece, the other cultivators who were digging for spirit soil also stood up:
“I have met the elders of your side sect’s spiritual plant academy. They were my former students. And your sect leader is also a good friend of mine.”
One of the farmers said that he looked to be only about forty years old, but his beard was white, giving him a somewhat otherworldly appearance.
Chen Si's attack failed, and he was somewhat annoyed:
"What are you bragging about? You say our sect leader is your friend? Why don't you just say you're my uncle?"
The cultivator who stepped forward nodded: "According to seniority, it should be."
"Enough with the nonsense. You cultivators are just too talkative. Are you deliberately stalling for time?"
"Senior, eliminate them all. If any clues emerge, we can use them to trade with others."
"There are quite a few cultivators from the Free and Unfettered Sect, but this is our first meeting in the secret realm. With your strength, it would be futile to enter the sect competition. You might as well sacrifice yourselves to help others!"
The unorthodox cultivator spoke with extreme confidence, and Chen Si struck again with his sword.
Zhang Wan was furious and couldn't leave now. He looked at the gathered unorthodox cultivators and desperately wanted to find a place to defend himself.
Zhang Wan could withstand a beating from Chen Si, and with a bit of luck, he might even be able to kite someone to death, but the peasant cultivators around him might not be so lucky.
Thinking this, Zhang Wan suddenly had a brilliant idea.
They are all magical artifacts, including the alchemy furnace.
The magical artifacts are designed to be adjustable in size and specifications to provide the best experience for cultivators.
Zhang Wan immediately had an idea. He was about to enlarge the alchemy furnace and cover his area of farmland with it, but...
Someone is faster than him.
"Damn it! What's with all this nonsense? I can't take it anymore."
Zhang Wan's vision blurred, and he felt as if someone had flashed past. When he looked again, Zhang Wan was stunned. The farmer cultivator who had been protecting him had suddenly disappeared from the area where the alchemy furnace was expected to expand.
This cultivator was none other than Tao Liangzheng, the agricultural cultivator who had spoken earlier.
Tao Liangzheng, like Huang Mingshi, joined their Xiaoyao Sect after leaving the Imperial Spirit Plant Research Institute.
Tao Liangzheng was not as famous as Huang Mingshi, but Zhang Wan was still able to see Tao Liangzheng in interviews in authoritative top journals.
The founder of the unorthodox sect was only forty years old. It is entirely possible that Tao Liangzheng's students served as elders in the unorthodox sect and had a relationship with the sect leader, which is highly likely to be true.
Just ...
Zhang Wan truly hadn't expected Tao Liangzheng to choose to take matters into his own hands. Looking at Tao Liangzheng rushing forward, Zhang Wan spoke with concern:
"senior!"
Just as Zhang Wan was about to go up and protect the person again, Huang Mingshi seemed to have come to terms with it:
"Don't go up there, it would be a loss if you got caught in the crossfire and injured."
"What's all this about?" Zhang Wan wondered. They were squatting there to lure the enemy in.
Jiang He assigned a task on the app, which was roughly to lure the enemy in and then kill them.
Select a group of seemingly weak and harmless cultivators as bait to lure other cultivators into ambush. Once they have their eyes on this group of bait, namely Zhang Wan and others, that will be the time for Jiang He and the other cultivators to make their move.
They had already rehearsed once, but when faced with the enemy's taunts, Zhang Wan couldn't help but retort, which only made the enemy even more arrogant.
To lower the opponent's guard, Zhang Wan knew that Jiang He wouldn't make a move so quickly, so he came up with this method, intending to use the alchemy furnace as a defensive shield to withstand a wave of damage.
However, the situation now seems to be out of control.
Tao Liang was moving with the force of the wind. When he arrived in front of Chen Si, Chen Si didn't have time to react before a gust of wind from a punch reached his head.
Tao Liang was standing straight, not even bending his knees. It was his punch that slammed Chen Si's head into the ground, creating a dent in the soft, black soil.
Because Tao Liangzheng's explosive power was too great, the outer shirt of the arm he was punching tore open, revealing the original skin.
His bronze-colored left arm was bulging with veins, full of large, muscular muscles. As Tao Liang clenched his fist, the muscles on his arm also tensed, making him look strong and powerful.
Tao Liang shouted loudly, and with his other arm, he ripped his clothes open again, revealing the same strong physique.
Zhang Wan still didn't say anything about asking Tao Liangzheng to come back; he was already completely stunned by Tao Liangzheng's muscles.
Who would believe that the usually quiet and hardworking farmer is a muscular man capable of competing in bodybuilding competitions and winning championships?
Shocking, absolutely shocking...
Chen Si's mind was buzzing, as if a thousand flies were buzzing in front of his eyes. When Tao Liangzheng punched him, he felt dizzy and saw stars, and he lost all sense of the world.
