Chapter 27

Zhaoshuo slapped his head, bitterly smiling, feeling that he had encountered a scammer. However, looking at the young man in front of him, who had a clear and handsome appearance, he didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing. He shook his head slowly.

Unexpectedly, when Zhaoshuo shook his head, the young man in the blue robe immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at Zhaoshuo, saying, "What, do you want to deny it? Did I get hit by you for nothing?"

Zhaoshuo fumbled in his hand, and a handful of star crystals appeared. Without even looking, he stuffed them into the slightly dazed young man's hand, saying, "These star crystals are worth thousands of star coins, enough to compensate you."

After saying that, Zhaoshuo turned and left, leaving the young man in a daze. However, the young man quickly came to his senses, looked at the star crystals in his hand, and his eyes sparkled with excitement, perhaps even more so than a dragon's.

He carefully placed the dozen or so star crystals into the pocket at his waist, muttering, "A fat sheep, truly a big fat sheep."

Zhaoshuo walked aimlessly down the long street, looking around. After all, this was his first time shopping, so everything seemed so novel.

However, before long, Zhaoshuo felt that someone was watching him. But when he tried to find out, he found nothing.

His eyes showed a thoughtful expression, but Zhaoshuo continued to browse through some small items at various stalls. As noon approached, Zhaoshuo left the bustling street and walked towards a quiet, narrow alley.

There was no one on the narrow alley. After turning a corner, Zhaoshuo's figure disappeared. Not long after, a figure appeared on the alley, peering around as if looking for something.

Suddenly, a large hand appeared from the corner, firmly grabbing the person's neck. The figure revealed was Zhaoshuo, and the one he held was the young man in the blue robe from earlier.

The large hand grabbed the young man's neck, which felt smooth and delicate like a piece of soft jade. The young man's screams echoed in Zhaoshuo's ears, "Let go, let go quickly, do you want to kill me?"

Zhaoshuo released the young man's neck and looked at him coldly, saying, "Speak, why are you following me?"

The young man's big eyes showed a cunning look, and he suddenly stood up straight, saying, "What, what, which eye did you see me following you?"

Zhaoshuo looked at the young man with interest, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Oh, so I wronged you? But you don't think I was walking the same path you were going home, do you?"

The young man suddenly looked up at Zhaoshuo, blurting out, "You... how did you know, oh, no..."

The young man seemed to realize he had said something wrong and quickly covered his mouth, stepping back a few steps.

Seeing the young man's reaction, Zhaoshuo said, "Speak, why are you following me? Don't try to deny it, or I won't mind... well, you know what I mean!"

As he spoke, Zhaoshuo made a fierce expression, and his hands made a crisp sound.

The young man first showed a look of fear, his bright eyes secretly sizing up Zhaoshuo. A cunning look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly patted his chest, looking relieved, "You wouldn't kill me!"

"Uh!"

Zhaoshuo didn't expect the young man to be so smart, able to see from his expression that he had no real ill intentions towards him.

Waving his hand, Zhaoshuo said, "Alright, go on, don't follow me. It might bring you disaster."

Unexpectedly, the young man stubbornly shook his head, "I'm not following you, I'm going home."

Shaking his head, Zhaoshuo ignored the young man and continued down the alley. The young man followed from a distance.

Suddenly, a scream reached Zhaoshuo's ears, and a chill ran down his back. Without hesitation, Zhaoshuo suddenly did a backbend. As he fell, a cold light flashed past, the chill from the long knife making Zhaoshuo feel that death was so close. If not for the young man's scream, he might have been cut in half by the silent strike.

The alley was filled with the young man's screams. Zhaoshuo fell heavily on the stone-paved ground, sending up a cloud of dust. At this moment, Zhaoshuo saw that the one who had swung the knife at him was a black-robed figure, dressed in night clothes, with his face covered by a black cloth, only his eyes, filled with killing intent, clearly showing his determination to kill.

The black-robed figure's reaction was quick. Seeing that his fatal strike had missed, he changed the direction of his knife and fiercely chopped down at Zhaoshuo, who was lying on the ground.

The blade loomed large in Zhaoshuo's eyes. Just as the blade was about to hit him, Zhaoshuo rolled over, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. A loud crash echoed, and a deep gash appeared, the large stone slabs shattered into pieces. Although Zhaoshuo avoided the blade, the flying debris hit him.

The debris, filled with powerful force, was like bullets. Even with his protective aura, Zhaoshuo couldn't help but cry out in pain. The black-robed figure didn't give Zhaoshuo time to react, changing the direction of his knife again, a slashing motion that, if hit, would split Zhaoshuo from his waist to his shoulder.

"Zhou Tian Ruyi Ziguang Pagoda, subdue!"

Zhaoshuo was furious. Although the Zhou Tian Ruyi Ziguang Pagoda wasn't an offensive treasure, as a top-tier innate treasure, it was far more solid than a regular rock. An ordinary person couldn't withstand a hit from a top-tier innate treasure.

The ancient Zhou Tian Ruyi Ziguang Pagoda spun and smashed towards the black-robed figure. Sparks flew, and the long knife shattered into pieces. The Zhou Tian Ruyi Ziguang Pagoda continued to smash towards the black-robed figure's head.

The black-robed figure's cultivation was definitely higher than Zhaoshuo's, but unfortunately, his treasure was of a lower grade. If it were of a higher grade, he could have split the pagoda with one strike.

With a cold snort, the black-robed figure's figure flickered, avoiding the vital points. There was a crack, and the black-robed figure's shoulder caved in, shattered by the impact.

He gave Zhaoshuo a fierce look, leaped up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. After the black-robed figure disappeared, Zhaoshuo couldn't hold back any longer, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His originally ruddy face turned pale. The pagoda sank into Zhaoshuo's body, and to unleash its maximum power, Zhaoshuo's strength was almost completely drained, causing him to collapse on the ground.

The alley returned to silence. Not long after, the young man in the blue robe, who had been screaming and hiding in a corner, came out. He first looked around cautiously, then ran to Zhaoshuo's side. Looking at the unconscious Zhaoshuo, his bright eyes rolled, and his small hands searched Zhaoshuo's body. However, he soon frowned, saying, "Strange, where is the money bag? Not even a storage ring?"
