Cultivators' Wage-Claiming Team

The other party consisted of two Fourth-Grade Cultivators. Based on their auras, Yu Jiaojiao deduced that they were also at the initial stage of the Fourth-Grade.

Song Shuhang's combat strength is not inferior to that of his opponent. Yu Jiaojiao is at the Fourth-Grade rank, and Li Yinzhu in the 'space capsule' is also at the Fourth-Grade. In addition, Song Shuhang has all sorts of random items such as Talisman Treasure and magical artifacts. If it were to be a fight to the death, Song Shuhang's side would have a greater chance of winning.

However... given the strength of the Limitless Demon Sect, perhaps these two Fourth-Grade Cultivators are just the vanguard, and there are even more powerful Limitless Demon Sect cultivators catching up from behind?

We must be wary.

Furthermore, since we have just entered space and have not yet adapted to the space environment, we will be at a significant disadvantage in this regard if we engage in combat.

So, how about a tactical retreat first?... Then, quietly sneak up near these two guys to see if they have any accomplices, their attack methods, detailed combat capabilities, and other data.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.

If given the chance, launching a surprise attack wouldn't be bad.

With one hand gripping the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag', Song Shuhang considered whether to take out the Silver Dragon Puppet and use its speed to avoid a direct confrontation.

Just then, Yu Jiaojiao's excited voice rang in his ears. "Shuhang, open your helmet and let me out, let me go and take them down!"

Since advancing to the Fourth-Grade Realm, she hasn't had a chance to formally fight anyone, so she's been itching to get back to work. Yu Jiaojiao possesses the Flood Dragon Bloodline, and with the difficult 'Fish Leaping Dragon Gate' trial, she has transformed into a half-fish, half-human being, making her combat power far superior to that of ordinary Fourth-Grade Cultivator.

She felt she could take on three ordinary Fourth-Grade Cultivator by herself!

At the same time, Li Yinzhu's voice rang in Song Shuhang's ears again. "Be careful, the enemy is attacking!"

A jet-black flying sword silently approached Song Shuhang's back, and just as Li Yinzhu spoke, it suddenly appeared and plunged down fiercely.

The jet-black flying sword was very well concealed... its sword energy only erupted at the moment of attack.

"I'll take charge of the defense," Yu Jiaojiao said, and as she spoke, she had already set up two layers of shields on Song Shuhang.

Sizzle!

The flying sword pierced towards Song Shuhang's back.

The disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect on the right smiled – he had succeeded!

His jet-black sword was a special assassination weapon, engraved with several Daoist runes such as 'armor-piercing, escape-breaking, and sharpness'.

Ordinary shield spells couldn't possibly stop this pitch-black sword. Song Shuhang was confident he could shatter the two shields that appeared on his body with a single blow!

However, the smiles on the Limitless Demon Sect's faces froze the next moment.

His jet-black sword was pressed against Song Shuhang's back in mid-air, but before it even touched the shield, it seemed to have struck an invisible barrier, and he couldn't penetrate it no matter what he did.

This invisible barrier was not a defense set up by Yu Jiaojiao.

It was a powerful repulsive force. The black flying sword was blocked by the repulsive force and kept humming. The sword body even showed faint signs of turning around and reversing.

"Is it the repulsive force of the Fairy Flowing Firefly? Is this a remnant of her secret technique?" Song Shuhang immediately realized.

The Fairy Flowing Firefly used that powerful repulsive technique to send them directly from Earth into space, reaching the vicinity of the moon. One can imagine how terrifying the repulsive force generated by this technique must be!

Even if Song Shuhang and the others only had a trace of the residual effect from the secret technique remaining on them, it would still be enough to block the black flying sword, or even deflect it!

The jet-black flying sword reversed direction and was then propelled away by a repulsive force. Ultimately, it pierced into a meteorite a kilometer away. Even its owner was unable to retrieve it for a moment.

"Great opportunity! Shuhang, open your helmet, I'm going in! Watch how I beat these two guys!" Yu Jiaojiao shouted.

Unfortunately, Yu Jiaojiao didn't have a chance to make a move.

Because someone interfered.

Almost the instant the black flying sword was deflected, fifteen figures whizzed over from a distance.

These fifteen figures were all towering giants, each with bulging muscles and a height of over two meters, exuding a heavy sense of oppression when they stood there.

They appeared and stood between Song Shuhang and the disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect. Their gaze swept over Song Shuhang and his group, finally settling on the two Limitless Demon Sect disciples.

"It's them, no doubt about it, disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect." A man in leather armor looked at the 'Boundless' mark on his black robe and said in a deep voice.

As soon as the leather-armored giant finished speaking, the other fourteen giants immediately clenched their fists and surrounded the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect.

It was like a pack of brown bears surrounding two poor little lambs.

The two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened!

Next, fifteen burly men skillfully took out several flags and banners from their pockets, assembled them, and unfurled them.

Paying back debts is a matter of course!

[Life is hard and we can't make ends meet. Give us back our hard-earned money! Limitless Demon Sect, pay us back!]

[Ren Baodong, a disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect, owes us 50,000 fourth-grade Spirit Stone in back wages. Give us back our hard-earned money!]

[Give us back our hard-earned money!] (The words are written in large, blood-stained letters)

Please give us a way to survive and return our hard-earned money!

[Equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, industrial strength, integrity, friendliness, prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony... all we want is our hard-earned money!]

There was also an enlarged 'contract'.

In the parlance of the Cultivation World, it's a contract—a disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect hired these fifteen burly men for 50,000 fourth-grade Spirit Stone, asking them to help chase and intercept the sword light and the treasure on it in space. The deadline is seven days.

Regardless of whether the treasure is subdued or not, the Limitless Demon Sect disciple will have to pay after seven days.

Within the time limit, the fifteen burly men needed to intercept and surround the sword light at least five times, giving the Limitless Demon Sect disciple named Ren Dingdong the opportunity to subdue it with a treasure.

The fifteen burly men were professionals; over seven days, they created nine opportunities for that disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect.

However, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect still failed to subdue the treasure...

What's yours will be yours. What's not yours, you can't force it and find no happiness in it.

After the contract expired, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect secretly fled, having no intention of paying the 50,000 fourth-grade Spirit Stone.

This was a horrific case of wage evasion—but the fifteen burly men didn't seem to mind; they were professionals when it came to demanding unpaid wages.

After learning what had happened, the two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect frowned and said, "Ren Baodong? Sorry, we don't know that guy."

The Limitless Demon Sect is so vast, with tens of thousands of disciples and countless branches, that it's impossible for them to know every Demon Sect disciple.

The burly man in leather armor sneered, "Heh, I don't care if you know each other or not. Just hand over 50,000 fourth-grade Spirit Stone obediently, or don't blame us fifteen brothers for being impolite."

The disciple from the Limitless Demon Sect on the right said coldly, "Impossible! Why should we pay back the Spirit Stone that Ren Baodong owes? Whoever owes the money should pay it back themselves! If you want Spirit Stone, go find Ren Baodong yourselves! In short, I will not pay you a single Spirit Stone!"

The leather-armored man's face immediately darkened. "Heh, so you mean you don't want to return the Spirit Stone?"

"Not paying back the Spirit Stone? Pay your debts, or you're not human!" A burly man clenched his fist.

"Look at their delicate skin, they're really no good. We can tie them up and sell them to the female cultivators of the 'Moonlight Jade Maiden Alliance.' We could get tens of thousands of Fourth-Grade Spirit Stones! Maybe we can even make a small profit."

"Didn't that 'White-Clad Demon Sect' have someone buying delicate and lithe male cultivators last time? Maybe these two disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect can fetch a high price there."

The fifteen burly men were discussing it animatedly.

The disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect on the right was utterly enraged. As the Limitless Demon Sect's chosen one, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

"You're courting death!" the disciple roared, forming a hand seal and unleashing a bolt of lightning.

The lightning bolts transformed into sharp spears, crackling with electricity, and with tremendous force, they shot towards the leather-armored leader!

"Pah!" The burly man in leather armor spat, and as he clenched his right hand, the muscles on his body began to pulsate as if they were alive.

Then, the leather-armored giant reached out and grabbed the sharp spear. With a squeeze of his fleshy palm, he actually crushed the lightning-infused spear.

Body cultivation!

Like the Dharma King Creation, this leather-armored giant also followed the path of physical cultivation, possessing an incredibly powerful body. Despite only being Fourth-Grade- rank cultivator, his physical body was stronger than some Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor.

After crushing the lightning spear, the leather-armored giant flashed to the right in front of the Limitless Demon Sect disciple and punched him in the stomach.

The Limitless Demon Sect disciple instantly activated his shield. However, the leather-armored giant's fist force actually passed directly through the shield and struck his body.

The shield remained intact, but the disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect were curled up like shrimp, foaming at the mouth and in excruciating pain.

"You bastards who owe wages and still dare to curse at people. I hate trash like you the most, you're asking for death!" The burly man in leather armor coldly withdrew his fist.

His companion fell to the ground instantly, allowing the Limitless Demon Sect disciple on the left to calm down.

His eye twitched slightly as he tried to calm himself down. "Wait a minute, everyone. It's Ren Baodong who owes you Spirit Stone, so you should be looking for him. What's the point of coming to us?"

The burly man in leather armor clenched his fist, which was as big as a clay pot. "Why didn't it work? You are disciples of the Limitless Demon Sect, and you're in cahoots with Ren Baodong. If we can't find Ren Baodong, we'll naturally come looking for you. Enough nonsense, hurry up and return the Spirit Stone!"

Another burly man added, "According to the contract, there should also be interest... no, it's a penalty for breach of contract. It's 50,000 fourth-grade Spirit Stone, and the penalty is 500 spirit stones per day. Four days have passed so far, so it's a total of 52,000 Fourth-Grade Spirit Stone!"

"This is usury!" the Limitless Demon Sect disciple on the left gritted his teeth and said.

"Bah! If I were a loan shark, I'd be charging you a tenth or even a half of your daily late payment fee," the leather-armored man scoffed. "My brothers and I are fifteen in number, and we're well-known figures in the Cultivator World. We're a professional, legitimate team dedicated to collecting unpaid wages. Don't compare us to those amateur loan sharks."
