Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 39 He prefers to use his hands to talk.

Lin Xiufeng and Fang Yuan chatted for a while about their respective experiences.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing had their backpacks stolen when they first arrived. At that time, they went to the eastern section of the Linhai House. After ten days of training the Heavenly Martial Soul, they would sneak out every night to wait for the people who would rob them.

After persisting for half a month, I finally caught up with one one at night, seized the opportunity to ambush and subdue him, and gave him a good beating. The guy even confessed to having a crush on someone in elementary school.

They learned about Dreamland because of this. That night, they went to the bandits' camp, retrieved their backpacks, and stole a few more backpacks before arriving at Dreamland.

As a result, they encountered a group of middle-aged people, all of whom seemed to be kind and caring. They were very attentive and warm-hearted in their conversation.

As a result, on the very night they joined the group, they took away their supplies and ran away.

They still haven't found those bastards. If it weren't for Wulin needing help and hearing Zhao Youyue's words, they still wouldn't have joined someone else's group.

"Why can he do it but I can't? Are you recruiting team members or looking for men? Besides being more handsome than me, what does he have that I don't do!"

A muscular man, about 1.8 meters tall, glared menacingly at Zhao Youyue, looking ready to punch her at any moment.

The group members that Zhao Youyue had chosen watched from the sidelines.

Facing the man's fierce gaze, Zhao Youyue said confidently:

"His college entrance exam score was much higher than yours, which means he has strong learning ability or self-discipline, so of course he has priority over you."

"Go to the Misty Forest and compare exams! Why don't you compare eagle size? Mine will definitely be more exciting than his! When looking for a man, don't look at his appearance, look at the size of his eagle, understand, little girl? If you don't understand, I'll teach you!"

Before Zhao Youyue could react, Lin Xiufeng, who had rushed over, hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Ren Xing leaped into the air, her long hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful figure soaring over the crowd. As she landed, she delivered a powerful flying kick to the face of the muscular man!

As the man covered his face and retreated, Ren Xing took a step forward, grabbed his hair, and pulled him backward while repeatedly punching the muscular man in the temples, neck, and back of the head, all the while cursing and hitting him.
"Go teach your mother!"

"Go back and teach me, Ma!"

"See if you don't beat me to death!"

"Born with a mother but not taught by one!"

Each punch that landed was accompanied by a massive outpouring of Heavenly Martial Force energy.

Zhao Youyue didn't recognize Ren Xing and was completely bewildered.

Fang Yuan advised, "That's enough."

Lin Xiufeng also felt that this was enough. This person started by hurling insults, and Ren Xing immediately resorted to physical violence, which far exceeded his principle of reciprocity.

Ren Xing threw a few more punches, then suddenly raised his knee and slammed it into the big man's temple.

The man's ears and nose were bleeding, and he collapsed to the ground.

In no time, it turned into a wisp of light and vanished without a trace.

Fang Yuan showed no reaction whatsoever...

So, when he said "that's enough," he meant to stop the abuse and just kill him?
Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but realize that with such a ruthless person on his side, how could he possibly uphold the principle of reciprocity?
Ren Xing raised his hand to smooth his long hair, looked at Zhao Youyue, and said with a rather dissatisfied tone:

"I'll help you, you just watch?"

"I'm sorry, I was confused."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Zhao Youyue sincerely apologized.

Indeed, she thought it was just arguing, and even if they got physical, it was just fighting.

I never expected to kill him so easily!

Ren Xing said speechlessly, "Seriously? This is the level of a deputy regimental commander? Don't let him drag us down in the mist forest!"

"That was an accident!"

Zhao Youyue was very unhappy about being looked down upon, and then realized another piece of information, so she couldn't help but look at Lin Xiufei.

"We clicked, so we'll be in the same group from now on."

Zhao Youyue wasn't upset at all; she was very grateful to Ren Xing for his help and immediately said:
"Welcome! My name is Zhao Youyue, and these five are also new friends who have just joined our group."

Ren Xing glanced at the group with disdain and said nonchalantly, "What's the point of having people like this? They just watched them bully you. Now that we're in the Misty Forest, we'll get beaten up and watch them. Are we going to share the spoils with the Misty Spirits?"

Upon hearing this, one of the five people, a couple, turned away in shame.

Another couple quickly explained:

"I was momentarily stunned and didn't react in time."

Another man said, "I think the deputy commander can handle it. Without her instructions, I certainly can't act rashly."

"Tsk tsk! Sounds so innocent! But she's actually wicked, wanting to see her win even if she can't win! So she can absorb the Heavenly Martial Power from the sidelines, right?"

The man said, clearly displeased:
"With someone like this in the group, there's bound to be disharmony. He's not a good fit for me. Goodbye."

Ren Xing watched the man's retreating figure with amusement, then suddenly stepped forward, raising his leg to kick him, but Fang Yuan grabbed his arm and stopped him:
"No need."

"This kind of person already hates me. Rather than waiting for him to plot against me in the future, I'd rather kill him now!"

Upon hearing this, the man turned his head and saw Ren Xing's murderous intent in his eyes before quickly running away.

Ren Xing glared at Fang Yuan reproachfully and shook off his hand.

"Snobbish! Just like your parents!"

"We are a team, so let's respect the team's will when we do things."

Fang Yuan offered some advice, but Ren Xing clearly didn't listen. He simply didn't want to argue with him, so he looked away, shut his mouth, and acted as if he couldn't see or hear anything.

Fang Yuan stopped talking and turned to Zhao Youyue, saying:

"I'm sorry. Ren Xing has a short temper and can't stand any nonsense. I'll go and persuade that person to come back."

"No need. His casual refusal to leave shows that he doesn't care about our group, so there's no need to try to keep him."

Zhao Youyue introduced the couple who hadn't left: the man was named Ma Jin, and the woman was named Liu Qingqing.

Ren Xing scanned the people around him and warned:
"Those who are truly willing to fight side by side, come and answer the call. Those who are just looking to take advantage without contributing and then disappear after the Fog Forest is over had better think carefully. I won't be polite to slackers!"

In an instant, everyone dispersed.

After seeing how Ren Xing kills people, it's no wonder he's afraid.

Lin Xiufeng has to admit that she really does have a filtering effect.

Zhao Youyue was deeply discouraged, realizing that behind the excitement just now, there were very few truly reliable people, so she stopped recruiting.

Lin Xiufeng, Zhao Youyue, Fang Yuan, Ren Xing, and the couple who didn't leave, Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing.

Yulin Feiyue has officially become a six-member group.

The group of six packed up and prepared, and two days later, they met with Wang Guan and more than a dozen other groups at a restaurant and made an alliance.

The next morning, a dozen or so groups of people marched out of the north gate of Shanwang Village. When they crossed three mountains, they were enveloped in a thin mist.

After climbing the fourth mountain, the fog was so thick that we couldn't see very far.

Going down the slope a little, the entire mountain appears as if it had been carved out, abruptly forming a cliff, its lower part shrouded in mist, like a bottomless abyss.

But within this abyss, there are pillar-like stone peaks that seem to have fallen from the sky.

The pillar-like stone peaks, spaced three meters apart and varying slightly in height, appear neat and orderly, stretching straight into the thick fog ahead.

Lin Xiufeng finally understood why the entrance to the Misty Forest Mountain Range could be defended.

If a Heavenly Martial Soul stands atop the Pillar Stone Peak, who can get past it?

A group of people from Shanwang Village checked the wooden signs for accommodations, verifying the number of days and the stamps. Those with higher-level accommodations were placed at the front.

Since Fang Yuan, Ren Xing, Ma Jin, and Liu Qingqing's stay was short, Lin Xiufeng discussed with the innkeeper to replenish the corresponding supplies, making up the same total cost, and then gave them the same mark.

At this point, I was at the front of the line. As I passed through, the person checking my documents said something routine:
"The Mist Spirit has not yet appeared. Head north and cross four mountains in succession. The fifth mountain is the central area of ​​the Mist Forest. Do not go to the edge. Some desperate people who climb into the area usually go to the edge, which is the most dangerous place."
