Chapter 75 Reversal Of Position
"Where is he?" Hu Jin turned around to see what was happening? Before he could even react, I was already at the tree, and taking the first fruit from the tree.
"Brother Feng! I thought that we were on the same side. To think that you would betray me like this." the shrewd man said.
I glanced at him.
"You are Yu Yutian, aren\'t you? You clearly have a big background. I am not going to attack any of you, but that doesn\'t mean that I will leave any of these fruits for you people." I chuckled.
The person named Yu Yutian looked surprised. "You know who I am and you still want to offend me? You are not a clever man, are you?" he said.
"That is the general opinion. A lot of people are saying this. (Looking at you, disgruntled readers. This is for you.) But, I am trying to change. Now, why don\'t all of you stay where you are so that all of you can leave with your life intact?" I laughed as I appeared next to the second fruit. I took it out carefully and stored it inside my spatial ring.
He shot forward from where he stood, and rushed towards me.
"Don\'t fight near the tree, you idiot. You might damage the tree, and the fruits. I can\'t have my possessions damaged, can I?" I chuckled as I retaliated with an attack of my own.
Boom!
Hu Jin went crashing aside, while I was unmoving. I went to the next fruit, and plucked that was well. With this, the eyes of the other four who were watching on just reddened. They could not bear to see the treasure that they found taken away from them for a second time.
"How about this. I am not a bad man. I will give you guys two of the fruits, as long as you won\'t tell anyone that I took the other three." I looked at them.
"You want to suck up to us now? You should have understood the problem that you have gotten into before you stabbed us in the back." Yu Yutian said smugly.
"Stabbed you in the back? I met you yesterday for the first time. When did you trust me for me to stab you in the back? Anyways, instead of leaving with nothing, you will have two Hidden Qi Peaches. Along with that, I will give you something much more valuable. I will give you your dear friend back to you, alive." I glanced at Hu Jin, who was getting out of the crater of his own creation.
"You will give us that asshole? Done. I am fine with this arrangement." another man suddenly nodded. With that, the other three also nodded slowly, and I nodded back at them.
"Brother Jin, it appears that you have pissed off the wrong people. Now, I am afraid that I am no longer in control of your fate. Please come here or I will have to drag you back." I shouted towards him, who was a few meters away.
He looked at me with confusion. It appeared as if he could not hear what just happened.
"Let me tell you what that means." I smiled, and appeared in front of him at an astonishing speed. With that increase in speed, I felt so much faster, as if I broke through some barrier.
Within a few minutes, Hu Jin was lying unconscious on the ground. But I was not done yet. I crouched to see his hands. There it was, his spatial ring. I knew that there was something special within it. The one that I wanted the most was the Compass that they told me about yesterday. I did not want anything to do with the ash trees. I just wanted to get to the sect fast, and this was clearly the best way to go.
"What are you doing, Brother Feng? This spatial ring does not belong to you. I think that we must split the profits." Yu Yutian rushed towards me.
I frowned. I did all the work, and he wanted to leech off me? I was irritated already. I wanted to punch him in the face, but I was also no idiot. I was just entering another sect, and this man had connections with an elder. I did not want to go looking for trouble. I had enough trouble dealing with the problems that came looking for me.
"What are you talking about, brother Yu Yutian? What spatial ring are you talking about? I was looking at his hands, but I could not find one at all. There seemed to be nothing on his hands. No spatial ring here." I said, smiling. I slipped the spatial ring in my robes a few seconds ago, and no one would be so rude as to try to check someone\'s clothes for a spatial ring, especially after that person saved their lives, and was much stronger than him.
"There is no spatial ring? Please do not joke, brother Feng. I remember him using a spatial ring. It is very important. He has the Spirit Compass that all of us had gotten. We cannot go forward without the Spirit Compass." Yu Yutian said seriously.
"Good thing that he actually buys that." I sighed with relief inside.
"He might have dropped it somewhere near here. But that is not my problem. It was just yesterday that you looked down upon someone for not having a compass. Now that you are also in the same position, you can have a taste of your own medicine."
