Chapter 45: Transaction.

"Hand over the blood of the Violent Stone Demon Wolf and the Foundation Establishment Pill, or you'll regret it." A dozen or so teenagers and a few girls glared at Du Shaofu, their anger evident. They had also been victims back then.

"Are you Du Shaofu, the fool?"

A young man, around twenty-one or twenty-two years old, stepped forward. He wore a silver armor, his slender and well-built figure, combined with his good looks, made him even more handsome and dashing in the silver armor. A few girls gathered around him, their eyes filled with admiration.

Du Shaofu had already noticed this young man. Hearing his words, his face turned grim, and he retorted, "You're the fool, and your whole family is a bunch of fools."

"Indeed, you are quite arrogant, daring to insult an imperial knight. Just this alone is enough to send you to the imperial prison for the rest of your life."

The young man's face darkened. As an imperial knight, everyone in this border town had to show him respect. He never expected someone to dare curse him today. If he didn't teach Du Shaofu a lesson, he would lose face in front of the girls who adored him.

Du Shaofu ignored the young man, his gaze sweeping over Du Hao and the others. "Is this what you rely on? This is your last chance. Will you hand over what you owe me voluntarily, or should I take it myself?"

"Du Shaofu, don't be so arrogant. My cousin is an imperial knight, you're doomed."

Du Hao gritted his teeth, sneering at Du Shaofu, then looked up at the armored young man and said, "Cousin, we can't let Du Shaofu off. We need to take back the blood of the Violent Stone Demon Wolf and the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"No problem, this fool is asking for it!"

The young man's face darkened. As he spoke, a surge of mystic energy welled up within him, and a powerful aura erupted, pushing Du Hao, Du Chong, Du Yan, and the others back. His body was enveloped in a swirling storm of energy.

"Initial Stage of the Innate Realm."

Du Shaofu's eyes narrowed. This imperial knight was indeed capable; reaching the Innate Realm at his age was no small feat.

"Today, I'll give you a good lesson, you fool."

The armored young man didn't hold back, taking a step forward. His hand formed a seal, and a surge of green mystic energy condensed on his palm, as if a layer of green energy crystals had been attached to it. The powerful aura enveloped Du Shaofu.

He had heard from Du Hao and the others that Du Shaofu had defeated them with a single move. Although he had reached the Innate Realm, he didn't use his full strength, but he didn't hold back either.

The palm seal moved swiftly, reaching Du Shaofu in an instant.

In a flash, a faint golden light flickered in everyone's eyes. Before the onlookers could see what the golden light was, a dull thud echoed.

"Bang!"

With the thud, a gust of wind swept through, sending debris flying into the air. A figure was immediately sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

The ground cracked, and the entire area trembled!

The figure slowly came to a stop. Everyone's eyes widened in shock. The person who had been sent flying was the armored young man, a cultivator of the Innate Realm, an existence that everyone admired and looked up to, had been defeated in one move.

"Spit!"

The armored young man spat out a mouthful of blood, his handsome face pale, his eyes filled with horror.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Before anyone could react, a series of low,闷响声再次响起，接着一道道身影接连倒飞出去，随即一个个毫无意外地全部摔落在地，动弹不得。

杜少甫紫袍长袖一抖，满意地一笑，然后毫不客气地将一个个身上的丹药、玄币、还有一些值钱的小玩意尽数收走，就连那铠甲青年也没有放过。

十几个人身上的物件有些多，最后杜少甫直接脱了杜浩身上穿的袍子，打了一个小包袱才将所有东西拿走，这过程中，没有任何人敢反抗，也无力反抗。

“欢迎下次继续找我麻烦。”

收拾完一切之后，杜少甫丢下了一句话，扬长而去。

望着杜少甫离去的背影，周围一片寂静。

入夜，夜幕遮盖石城，月色如练，繁星点点。

青石古朴的楼阁，一个少女静静而立，白皙的皮肤，精致的脸庞，一头长发倾泻而下，长裙罩体，一双明眸在月夜中闪烁着炯芒，令得清雅的气质中多出了些许清冽的气质。

“子衿，你真的决定了么？”

一个清瘦中年望着少女，道：“你要知道，这个决定不仅是关系到我们叶家，也关系到整个石城。”

少女抬头，朱唇轻启，道：“我相信五大家族这一辈之中，无人能够和杜少甫相比，就算是我也不能。”

清瘦中年面色稍微有些惊讶，道：“没想到这丫头竟然对那杜家的杜少甫有那般的评价，我倒是也想见见他了，这样吧，明天你陪我去一趟杜家，也好表示一下谢意，顺便有些事情，也必须要做决断了。”

“嗯。”

少女微微一笑点头，脑海中不由想起了那一道扛着闪电妖豹尸体的背影，是那般的挺拔。……

“这玩意到底该怎么打开。”

入夜，房间中，杜少甫手中拿着两个乾坤袋，一个是从白豹猎妖团大团长瘦虎的身上搜刮而来的，另外一个则是从那劲装女子的身上摸来的，只不过有着乾坤袋，但杜少甫却根本打不开。

“小子，你是打不开乾坤袋的，我帮你打开怎么样？”

杜少甫的怀中小塔内，甄清醇的声音传出，不知道为什么，这声音听起来有着几分憋屈。

“你会开乾坤袋？”

杜少甫犹豫了一下，将怀中的小塔掏了出来。

当然，此时的小塔已经被用了好几层树叶包裹着，杜少甫可不想把用童子尿淋过的小塔直接往怀里揣。

“笑话，我可是一个灵符师，很高级的灵符师，一个小小的乾坤袋自然难不倒我。”小塔内甄清醇憋屈的声音内终于是透着几分自傲了起来。

“你是灵符师？”杜少甫很是怀疑地望着小塔，然后道：“好吧，你帮我打开乾坤袋试试看。”

“哼，我帮你打开乾坤袋有什么好处？”甄清醇在小塔内说道，语气有些得意了起来，这小子终于是有求于他了。

“你帮我打开乾坤袋，我以后就再也不用童子尿镇邪了，要是打不开乾坤袋，我直接将这破塔扔进茅坑里面。”杜少甫淡淡说道。

“小子，你敢。”小塔内，甄清醇的声音顿时尖叫起来。

“你猜我敢不敢。”杜少甫回道。

“小子，算你狠，我帮你打开乾坤袋就好了，不过说好了，我出来，你不准对付我的元神。”甄清醇妥协了，他知道这小子绝对干的出来。

“成交。”杜少甫点头同意。

“嗤……”

小塔内，甄清醇的虚幻身影飘浮而出，望着杜少甫，那猥琐的目光中蕴含着怒意和憋屈，嘴角抽搐，压抑着怒气，道：“乾坤袋强行打开，里面的东西就会直接摧毁，除了本人之外，解开的唯一办法，就是找一个比起炼制这乾坤袋更强的灵符师将其破解符纹。”

话音落下，甄清醇虚幻的手印凝结，然后杜少甫左手中的两个乾坤袋便被一个诡异之力包裹飘浮到了甄清醇的手中。

“呼啦啦！”

随着甄清醇虚幻的双手中手印变幻，顿时一股股符箓秘纹蔓延而出，房间中光芒大盛，一股股神秘的力量荡漾在了房间内，在那符箓秘纹光芒的包裹下，甄清醇那猥琐的模样，也突然间变得伟岸了起来。

这一刻，杜少甫都有些相信甄清醇不是骗子了，一个骗子，的确很难弄得出这么大的排场和气势。

“解开了，在这两个垃圾乾坤袋上滴血认主，然后注入玄气，以后这两个乾坤袋就是你的了。”

片刻之后，甄清醇将两个乾坤袋扔到了杜少甫的身前，虚幻的身影越发的虚幻了起来。
