Counter-Robbery

"This Dragon Blood Wood, ten taels of gold, I'll take it!"

"These few bags of Liyang Powder, one tael of gold!"

"This Yin Blood Claw manual is only at the Bright Energy stage, but copying it for twenty taels of silver is quite cheap."

In less than the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Wang Sheng had finished trading for the items on the stall and those he needed.

"A Great Heaven Supplement Pill for one hundred taels of silver, rumored to increase one's strength tenfold daily! I hope it doesn't disappoint!"

Wang Sheng patted the brocade pouch at his waist.

Relying on the gold earned from selling items, combined with Wang Sheng's original wealth, he had a total of two thousand and fifty taels of silver.

And for the Great Heaven Supplement Pills at one hundred taels each, after testing a small amount of the powder's properties and finding it viable, Wang Sheng purchased ten at once, spending one thousand taels.

Although the Great Heaven Supplement Pill had potent effects, it also had significant toxicity and numerous side effects. The most feared by Martial Artists was that the pill squeezed potential, hindering future realm advancements.

Ordinary Martial Artists, taking one Great Heaven Supplement Pill every few months, still felt apprehensive and dared not consume more than three in a year.

But Wang Sheng's talent, Heaven Rewards Diligence, meant he could consume Great Heaven Supplement Pills like candy without issue. The only concern was that taking too many in a short period would waste their efficacy.

The Bone Strengthening Pill, which could improve bone quality and was highly beneficial for body refiners, was too rare. Wang Sheng spent three hundred taels of silver, a significantly inflated price, to acquire just two.

Afterward, he purchased Vitality Pills, Blood Gathering Powder, Detoxification Pills, and other auxiliary medicines, spending over a hundred taels of silver.

Wang Sheng had originally intended to buy a weapon, but he decided against it, fearing his identity might be revealed because of it.

Furthermore, Wang Sheng also witnessed some remarkable exotic species this time, such as the highly spirited Four-armed Demon Monkey, a Young Wild Boar King that had nearly achieved sentience, and a Black Snake as thick as a forearm with horn-like scales.

Each of these exotic species was priceless; if cultivated well, they could even become pillars of a family.

Wang Sheng gazed with longing but couldn't afford any of them.

Under the night sky, The crescent moon was setting in the west.

In the quiet Ershui City, the air was filled with moisture, as if it were about to rain.

A faint mist floated in the air, barely perceptible.

Shortly after leaving the black market, Wang Sheng sensed he was being followed.

Moreover, the pursuer was blatant, as if unafraid of Wang Sheng noticing.

In an alley, Wang Sheng stood still, turned around, and looked coldly at the empty street ahead.

The next moment, A figure suddenly descended, appearing on the street.

"Hand over the Heaven Supplement Pills and the silver, and I'll spare your life!"

The figure's tone was casual, as if Wang Sheng were beneath his notice.

This was because he was a Dark Energy Martial Artist, whose destructive power originated from within and could kill without a trace. The killing power of Dark Energy was several times greater than that of Bright Energy overall.

Even though only one person had followed him, it was due to an unspoken rule among the Dark Energy Martial Artists in the black market.

Once a target was chosen, fighting was forbidden within the black market.

If the target left the area that person was responsible for, the target became theirs.

Therefore, Wang Sheng was now the sole prey of this Dark Energy Martial Artist.

"Stop looking. Newcomers are indeed newcomers. They don't even understand this. There's only me, but catching you is enough."

The Dark Energy Martial Artist, seeing Wang Sheng's wary glances left and right, spoke with a detached tone and arrogant expression.

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

Wang Sheng asked.

"Heh, you're not in a position to negotiate! There's no room! Hand them over or die!"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist sneered.

"Sigh!"

Wang Sheng sighed low, wondering why everyone spoke so boastfully!

Bang, bang, bang!

Wang Sheng tapped several points on his body.

Hummm...

His muscles suddenly bulged, filling his black clothes, and his physique immediately became robust and powerful!

"The Liu Family's Blood Stacking Technique!"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist's expression changed slightly, his voice low, tinged with surprise and confusion.

The Liu Family practiced the Thunderclap Leg technique, but this person before him wielded fierce palm strikes. Could it be!

Could it be that this person was a hidden operative of the Liu Family! Or perhaps the Blood Stacking Technique had fallen into the wrong hands!

"Are you from the Liu family, or an outsider who has mastered the Blood Stacking Technique?"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist asked sternly.

"Fight if you want to fight!"

Wang Sheng didn't answer. He activated the Forging Gold Technique and charged straight ahead.

The more he replied, the more likely it was to cause problems. It was better to deliberately conceal things.

The Dark Energy Martial Artist's mouth twitched. If this person were just an ordinary body refiner, he could have easily killed him.

But this person before him primarily practiced palm techniques, and his secondary body refinement was also not weak. He had also mastered an explosive secret technique like the Blood Stacking Technique.

He knew the power of the Blood Stacking Technique. If this person had mastered the second level of the Blood Stacking Technique, he could truly challenge a Dark Energy Martial Artist.

The two exchanged a palm strike.

Wang Sheng's right arm, which had just struck, immediately went numb, as if a steel bar had been driven into his arm, stiffening his entire limb.

This was the invisible force cultivated by Dark Energy Martial Artists. It possessed the effect of penetrating mountains and striking through the sea, directly penetrating the skin to attack bones and meridians, causing flaws in one's movements and techniques.

In a life-or-death battle, one flaw was enough to be fatal.

This was exactly Wang Sheng's situation.

If he hadn't cultivated his body and possessed an explosive secret technique, the double force of that palm strike would have been so powerful and heavy that it could shatter bricks. It had also numbed the Dark Energy Martial Artist's arm and caused a slight pause. Otherwise, Wang Sheng would have been in grave danger just now.

"As expected, it's a bit troublesome!"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist frowned deeply.

He could kill Wang Sheng, but it would take some effort, and he himself might suffer considerable injuries.

They were not far from the black market now. If he were injured, some Dark Energy Martial Artists who were secretly watching would not be able to resist intervening, even if they didn't want to kick him while he was down.

Seeing Wang Sheng charging again, the Dark Energy Martial Artist quickly retreated.

"Friend, there's no deep hatred between us. Why must you fight so desperately!"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist said clearly, his tone no longer arrogant or cold, but with a smile that eased the atmosphere.

"Didn't you say there was no room for negotiation!"

Wang Sheng said.

"The Blood Stacking Technique is extraordinary. It's the Liu family's second root. I can see you're not from the Liu family. If the Liu family finds out, they will hunt you down relentlessly."

"So, why don't you share the Blood Stacking Technique with me? I'll bear some of the pressure for you, how about it?"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist had long coveted such an explosive secret technique.

"Heh heh."

"You were the one who wanted to fight just now, and you're the one who doesn't want to fight now."

"You wanted to snatch my Heaven Supplement Pill just now, and now you want my Blood Stacking Technique."

"It seems you really don't take me seriously!"

Wang Sheng was furious and quickly pressed a few points on his body.

Wang Sheng let out an angry roar, like a tiger's roar, which made the Dark Energy Martial Artist's expression change.

Wang Sheng's anger was feigned. If he were an ordinary Bright Energy Martial Artist, he would have eagerly agreed and communicated harmoniously with the Dark Energy Martial Artist.

But Wang Sheng didn't want to. He wanted to try. He naturally didn't have the second level of the Blood Stacking Technique, but because of the Dark Energy Martial Artist's concession, he had already figured out his bottom line.

So he casually pressed a few points on his body to scare the other party.

If it worked, that would be best. If not, he wouldn't lose anything!

"The second level of the Blood Stacking Technique?"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist immediately felt that it was troublesome, very troublesome.

The killing power of the first level of the Blood Stacking Technique was only slightly less than his.

If the second level of the Blood Stacking Technique doubled the strength as rumored, wouldn't that surpass him, a Dark Energy Martial Artist!

"Damn it, running into such a freak is my bad luck."

The Dark Energy Martial Artist heard this and wanted to leave immediately.

But the next moment, Wang Sheng said coldly, "You want to leave?"

His tone was icy, carrying a determined killing intent.

"What do you mean!"

"You still want to stop me?"

"You dare to stop me?"

The Dark Energy Martial Artist shouted in shock, his heart filled with anger and curses.

He had come to rob. If he didn't rob, it was the other party's good luck. This Ming Jin martial artist, did he actually dare to rob him?
