Killing intent is palpable
Money can't buy whiteness. This sentence is straightforward, but after reincarnation, the peaceful life made him start to relax his vigilance, and he didn't think that he would encounter any trouble in Yan City.
So he didn't avoid it either, but he obviously underestimated the greed of human nature. The shopkeeper's eyes on Fang Yun had already added a hint of venom.
The several tens of thousands of taels of silver notes in Fang Yun's hands had already given rise to evil intentions in his heart. If it were someone else, the shopkeeper might still have some scruples, but facing a mere ordinary-looking youth made the greed in his heart grow boundlessly.
The shopkeeper quickly called out two tall men, each over seven feet tall, who were wearing swords at their waists and clearly weren't ordinary shop assistants, as they kept exchanging glances with the shopkeeper.
Fang Yun had already seen it, the shopkeeper and two big men, with evil eyes, helplessly rubbed his nose, and thought to himself: "Am I too low-key? Why do I always encounter such reckless guys?"
"Young master, the energy crystal you wanted has been prepared. However, there are too many items, please go to the inner hall and wait." The shopkeeper said politely.
Two tall men blocked the gate with their bodies, seemingly to prevent Fang Yun from escaping. Fang Yun's eyes rolled around and nodded, following the shopkeeper into the inner hall.
He also wanted to see what kind of tricks these people were playing, and as soon as the two big men saw Fang Yun follow them in, they immediately closed the shop door.
After entering the inner hall, a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face: "Young master, I made a mistake in calculating the money earlier. The energy crystals you wanted were not 8,000 taels, but 38,000 taels."
"Calculate it for me, why is it 38,000 taels?" Fang Yun showed a puzzled expression, seriously looking at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper said with an unchanged expression: "The medium-grade energy crystal you want, one is not 100 taels, but 1,000 taels. The high-grade energy crystal, one is 1,600 taels. You want 30 medium-grade and 5 high-grade energy crystals, the total comes to 38,000 taels."
"Shopkeeper, are you cheating me because I don't know the market price?" Fang Yun sneered with a smile, this shopkeeper also seemed to be a thoroughly crafty fellow, speaking nonsense right in front of him.
"Liu Lao, why bother talking so much with him? How much money does this kid have on him? Just make him take it out directly." One of the burly men said bluntly, not caring that Fang Yun heard him.
At this moment, two big men are holding knives and swords in their hands. Judging from their facial expressions, they obviously won't be kind-hearted people.
Fang Yun didn't suspect anything at all; as long as he took out the silver notes, in the next instant they would settle him.
The shopkeeper sneered: "What's the hurry, if you can cheat him into taking out his own money, why bother using force?"
"Could it be that Old Liu still wants to let this little brat go? Maybe he's the son of some wealthy family, who knows if he'll cause trouble for himself. It's better to just kill him off and get it over with."
"Master, you also heard that these two are brothers of the Black Wolf Gang. You'd better hand over the silver ticket obediently, and I'll let them give you a quick death. If you don't hand it over, it will be too late to beg for mercy later." The shopkeeper smiled brightly at Fang Yun.
"Aren't you afraid they'll swallow all the silver and slaughter you too?" Fang Yun tilted his head, looking at the shopkeeper in confusion.
The shopkeeper's cheek twitched slightly and he sneered, "The leader of the Black Wolf Gang, Hei Lang, is my cousin. The two of them are also my own brothers, so naturally I don't need to be on guard."
The boss's words were actually meant for the two of them to hear, and if they harbored evil intentions and really wanted to silence him for a few tens of thousands of silver coins, he would be in real trouble.
Speaking in such a manner would naturally eliminate their greedy thoughts while also driving away the black wolf and intimidating the two of them.
The Black Wolf Gang is the largest gang in Yan City, and its leader, nicknamed Black Wolf, has already reached the fifth level of strength. In Yan City, he is a tyrant, ruthless and cunning, with a narrow mind and a vengeful heart.
Two burly men from the Black Wolf Gang visibly trembled, dispelling the thoughts in their minds. One of them said in a low voice, "Old Liu is right, we're all brothers, how can we be instigated by this little kid?"
"Hey kid, hand over the silver ticket quickly, or we'll have to take it by force! Don't think we'll go easy on you!"
"I never thought I'd show mercy!" Fang Yun sneered, a few hints of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
Don't think that Fang Yun is a kind and gentle person. In the Xianxia world, he has a notorious reputation, and even after reincarnation, he hasn't reduced his evil deeds.
He doesn't believe in karma or retribution. He only believes that evil people need to be punished by other evil people, so he has no qualms about being an evil person who punishes other evil people.
"Hand over your silver coins obediently." The two burly men took step by step towards Fang Yun, their hands holding cold and menacing daggers.
In their eyes, Fang Yun was like a lamb, at their mercy, without any vigilance. Of course, when facing a teenager, most people would have this attitude.
"What if I don't?" Fang Yun raised his head, looking at the two people in front of him with a slight disdain.
Two burly men revealed cruel smiles on their faces, raised their knives and swords, and fell without mercy: "If you don't hand it over, go see the god of death!"
Fang Yun's mouth curved into a smile, with a hint of disdain, contempt, and mockery, as well as a thread of coldness. He stretched out his short, delicate fingers, seemingly casual, and made a light gesture.
Ding——
A clear and crisp metallic collision sound shook the air, the blade of the knife-wielding big man unexpectedly tilted uncontrollably to the side, directly colliding with the sword blade of the sword-wielding big man.
The swords clashed, and with a loud crash, the two men's tiger mouths burst open, and their swords fell to the ground.
A burly man with a sword shouted loudly: "Ah yo...... you wild dog, what are you doing?!"
The big Han with a knife looked surprised: "I... I..."
He didn't know what happened either, originally he was using all his strength to slash down with his knife, but under the seemingly light touch of Fang Yun's two fingers, he felt a surge of great power coming over.
Is it his own illusion? He really didn't want to believe that the double-fingered force just now was from Fang Yun. How could a teenager in his early teens have such ability? He would rather choose to believe that he had lost his hand for a moment.
"I didn't mean to..." the big man with a knife stuttered in explanation.
"What are you doing? Can't you hurry up and deal with this kid?" The shopkeeper was getting impatient, his heart had a bad premonition, he didn't know why he felt uneasy.
Logically speaking, it's not his first time doing this kind of thing. Even the first time, he wasn't so anxious and nervous, as if something bad was going to happen.
The two big men looked at each other, their eyes turned to Fang Yun, the man with the knife raised his fist, that fist was even bigger than Fang Yun's head, if this punch were to land solidly, Fang Yun's head would likely be smashed into a pulp.
However, Fang Yun was no ordinary person. To say nothing of the two burly men, even a strong practitioner below the fifth stage could be easily dealt with by him.
"Do you know... one of your feet has already stepped into the Ghost Gate..."
Fang Yun's voice carried a hint of murderous intent, like a chill that spread throughout the room, causing the shopkeeper and the two burly men to shudder involuntarily.
