Chapter 94 Chase
With a "snap," a gleaming gold ingot suddenly appeared on the table.
The man shouted, "Ten taels of gold, and this wine is mine!"
His voice was loud and somewhat arrogant, as if he was certain that the deal would succeed.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man with an arrogant expression, his chin held high, and his eyes sweeping over everyone present with a wanton gaze.
Seeing his arrogant demeanor, things got really bad. Not only was Cheng Peng unwilling to do it, but Shanzi and the others beside him also showed displeasure and were very unhappy.
Mei Yanyan was the first to attack, her eyebrows raised and her almond eyes wide open, she said with a coquettish mockery.
"Hmph! You think you can buy our wine with ten taels of gold? You must be out of your mind and talking nonsense."
Let me tell you, this is no ordinary wine; it is a priceless, unparalleled brew!
"Don't even mention ten taels of gold, even a hundred or a thousand taels might not be enough to buy it! With your little bit of money, you can barely smell the wine."
The man paid no heed to this and continued to do as he pleased. He sniffed around like a hunting dog, his face filled with greed and longing.
His eyes were fixed on the small, exquisite wine bottle that Cheng Peng was clutching tightly in his arms, his pupils darting around as if he were plotting something.
At this moment, the man shifted his gaze to Cheng Peng, looked him up and down, paused slightly, and then suddenly shouted loudly, "Oh my, you, aren't you that kid Cheng Peng?"
This shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, startling everyone present.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, wondering to themselves: Could this person really be an old acquaintance of Cheng Peng? Otherwise, how could they recognize him at a glance?
Cheng Peng himself was also stunned. When he heard the other person call his name, he subconsciously put down the wine bottle in his hand, stared at the person, and quickly began to search his memory of the person in front of him.
However, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could not remember where he had ever crossed paths with this person.
So, Cheng Peng asked hesitantly, "You are...?" He couldn't remember who this person was at all.
But before he could finish speaking, the man seized the opportunity to snatch the bottle, then darted to the side a few steps away, laughing triumphantly.
"Hahahaha, you guys have been chattering away for so long, even if I'm stupid, I can guess the gist of it!"
"To tell you the truth, I'm nobody special. The only reason I'm here today is for this bottle of wine!"
He tried to leap sideways out of the restaurant from the second floor, bursting into wild laughter mid-air: "Haha, you've been tricked! Hahaha..."
Before the little dwarf could even finish his sentence, he saw a magnificent, elegant, and exceptionally handsome man suddenly appear at the doorway.
He wore a smile, but his eyes revealed a fighting spirit that should not be underestimated.
Just as he was about to reach the man, he struck the handsome man with a palm strike.
He gathered power in one hand and struck out with a palm towards the handsome man. The palm wind was fierce and carried an aura that could not be underestimated.
Upon seeing this, the handsome man smiled faintly and calmly dodged the short man's attack.
Immediately afterwards, he spread his body like an eagle soaring into the sky, and pounced on the dwarf, his fist whistling as it aimed straight for the dwarf's vitals.
Although the little guy was short in stature, he was exceptionally agile.
He dodged the handsome man's attack with a swift movement and seized the opportunity to counterattack.
He used both fists and feet, attacking the handsome man like a storm.
The handsome man, with his superb martial arts skills, repeatedly deflected the dwarf's attacks, and the battle between the two became increasingly fierce, with punches and kicks flying and the sounds echoing in all directions.
In this duel, the short man, despite his small stature, engaged in a thrilling battle with the handsome man, relying on his superior martial arts skills.
His boxing skills were superb, and his footwork was fierce; every attack was full of power and speed.
The handsome man, with his profound internal strength and superb martial arts skills, fought the short man to a standstill.
Cheng Peng was furious when he saw the dwarf steal his wine, but when he saw the battle between the Spirit King and the dwarf, he cowered in fear.
In a battle of this caliber, his eyes could barely keep up with their speed.
The people from Huanlingyuan and Taoyu Sect, seeing that the Spirit King had made a move, were unable to defeat him.
The four spirit stars and Li Shiting also went down to help, but the five of them were no match for the little dwarf.
The four spirit stars and Li Shiting had just stepped off the stage and hadn't even had time to react when the little dwarf patted them aside.
Before the five of them had even exchanged a single blow with their opponent, they had all sustained minor injuries.
Fortunately, the dwarf didn't kill them, otherwise the five would have been seriously injured if not killed.
When King Ling saw that the five of them had been driven back by the enemy, he shouted at them, "All of you, stand aside for me."
Xiaoyue and the others jumped down and surrounded the little dwarf, staring at him.
"Who exactly are you?" The Spirit King stood opposite him, his brows furrowed, and asked with a somewhat serious expression.
The short man grinned and said, "I told you, I'm nothing but this bottle of wine in my hand."
When the Spirit King heard that the other party refused to speak, he used his power to appear in front of the other party in an instant. The little dwarf was no ordinary person either, and directly blocked the Spirit King's move.
As time went on, the fight between the two became increasingly intense.
The little dwarf fought with increasing ferocity, seemingly tireless; while the Spirit King was equally formidable, his every move brimming with power and beauty.
The battle between the two was like an artistic feast, attracting the surrounding crowd to stop and watch, and occasionally letting out bursts of amazement.
The two exchanged a dozen or so moves when suddenly the dwarf was about to strike the Spirit King with a palm strike. The Spirit King also unleashed a palm strike to meet the attack, and the internal energy of both men spread throughout the entire first-floor hall of the restaurant.
The dwarf was knocked back by the Spirit King with a single move, and he also used the Spirit King's palm strike to fly backward out of the restaurant.
The Spirit King was also knocked back by this palm strike, and everyone saw a trace of blood trickling from the corner of the Spirit King's mouth.
The Spirit King's face was slightly pale. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, "He's actually a peak Great Yuan Realm expert."
Seeing the other person fly out of the restaurant, Xiaoyue used her lightness skill to chase after them.
When Daya and Shanzi saw Xiaoyue chasing after her, they reacted quickly and followed after her.
Cheng Peng roared angrily, "Wait for me, I want to go too!" He wanted to rush out as well.
The others exchanged glances, dumbfounded.
When the Spirit King saw that Da Ya and the others were about to chase after them, he instantly teleported and stopped them.
“You all stay here. His martial arts skills are far beyond what you can compare to.”
Several people tried to give chase at breakneck speed, but were stopped by the suddenly appearing Spirit King.
"The Spirit Star of the Qin (Musical Instrument), the Spirit Star of the Qi (Chess), the Spirit Star of the Shu (Book), and the Spirit Star of the Hua (Painting)."
When the Spirit King called them, the four Spirit Stars quickly replied, "Your subordinates are here."
"You stay here. If I haven't returned by tomorrow, go find Bai Lingxing and meet up." Before he finished speaking, the Spirit King chased after him.
Although the man ran fast, he forgot to cover the mouth of the bottle. The unique aroma of "One Bowl of Intoxication" wafted behind him, how could he possibly hide it from his pursuers?
With the support of the top-tier skill Linglong Divine Art, Xiaoyue chased him all night long. Whether it was because the little dwarf was injured or something else, he was always being chased by Xiaoyue from a distance until dawn.
For some unknown reason, the short fellow stopped halfway up the mountain.
He stood there quietly, sipping his wine, as if waiting for Xiaoyue to arrive.
Xiaoyue's face was slightly pale, and her breathing was a little rapid. She was panting slightly when she finally stopped not far from the dwarf.
Just then, the Spirit King appeared suddenly beside Xiaoyue like a ghost. When Xiaoyue saw the Spirit King, she took out a bottle of pills from her bosom, poured out one, and swallowed it.
After regaining his footing, the Spirit King quickly looked around. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he pondered to himself.
"Could this be the edge of the Extreme Abyss within the territory of the Gu Xuan Dynasty? It's unbelievable! In just one night, we've traveled over a hundred miles in one go."
(Author's note: The three of them were chasing each other over mountains and valleys, rather than walking around the outer edge of the mountain road.)
They are currently on the western edge of the Abyss of Extremes, while Yun Dan and the other two are at the bottom of the valley in the southeast direction.
Therefore, Yun Dan will not be appearing yet. As a modern person, who wants to be lazy and go to work?
Thinking of this, the Spirit King gently patted Xiaoyue's shoulder, then turned his gaze to the dwarf in front of him and questioned him.
"Who exactly are you? Your agility is astounding, and your running speed is even more amazing. Why did you lead us to this place, the Abyss of Extremes?"
At the same time, he secretly thought to himself, "Judging from this person's high level of martial arts, he must not be an unknown nobody."
Just as the Spirit King was asking questions while secretly assessing the opponent's strength...
Suddenly, a dozen or so wolves with dark gray fur and sharp fangs slowly emerged from the deep valley.
Their eyes gleamed with an eerie green light, and they occasionally let out low roars as they approached the group step by step.
