Luo Qingxin was now beyond furious. A powerful aura rose from her body, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and countless tiny ice crystals spread across the ground centered on her feet.
"Let her go."
Lu Ziming sneered: "You really overestimate yourselves. Before you show kindness, consider your own strength. You're just a mere fourth-tier cultivator. Even if you all swarm me, you won't be able to hurt a single hair on my head."
Furthermore, I advise you not to take action. Spirituality is for making money, and fighting with others in a burial ground is a very foolish thing to do.
Winning a battle results in a loss of spirituality, and losing a battle results in a loss of spirituality as well.
Otherwise, why do you think I wouldn't just take action with my strength?
It's simply because I don't want to waste too much of my spirituality, which would prevent me from making money.
Another unwritten rule at the burial grounds is that killing is forbidden, because everyone's common goal is to leave the burial grounds, and each additional person increases the efficiency of making money.
"I said, let her go!" Luo Qingxin said coldly.
Lu Ziming shook his head: "So many years have passed, and it's still the same as before, unchanged."
Just because you want to die doesn't mean your teammates do.
Perhaps you naively believe that you can defeat me, but have you ever considered this question: even if you do win, how much spirituality will you have left?
How many more people will die or be seriously injured, causing you to be unable to earn money for some time to come, and to survive by selling your spirituality every day?
Once you recover from your injuries, how much spiritual energy will you have left? Once you fall to the third tier, you won't even be able to withstand the gray mist. How will you survive?
Qingxin, today I'll teach you another lesson for free: recognize reality and don't act impulsively or you'll ruin everyone's life.
Now, think about it carefully. On one side is your teammate who has shared life and death with you, and on the other is a pitiful woman you've never met. What would you choose?
Everyone's expression immediately turned grim, including Luo Qingxin's.
Because what Lu Ziming said was true.
Even if they win, everyone will be seriously injured. They will be severely injured in the burial ground and will have to sell their spirituality to recuperate at the inn.
One percent of one's spiritual energy per day; if the injury is not healed within twenty days, one will drop three levels.
After falling three levels, let alone going out to kill monsters, you can't even leave the inn. You can only wait to die in the inn.
At this moment, everyone understood why Lu Ziming, who was at the fifth level, did not choose to take direct action but instead lied.
Even if he could kill everyone, it would definitely consume a lot of his spiritual energy, and he might even break the unspoken rules and offend other people in Whitestone Town by killing people, which would be a loss for him.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.
After a brief stalemate, Luo Qingxin's killing intent dissipated, the surrounding chill slowly disappeared, and the temperature gradually rose.
"Lu Ziming, I will not give up. If not today, then tomorrow. Sooner or later, I will kill you with my own hands."
"Captain, this is the last time I'll call you Captain. From now on, our relationship is over." Li Xiaoru said, tearing his robe with a knife.
Although Xiong Tianguang did not speak, an uncontrollable rage appeared in the eyes of this nerdy man.
This anger was much stronger than when he was cheated in games before.
"Brother Xiu, let's go," Li Xiaoru said in a deep voice.
They were disgusted by Lu Ziming and would rather die than live in the woodshed or provide him with a single penny.
Fang Xiu did not speak, but calmly gazed at Yang Ming, who remained silent.
Yang Ming's state at this moment was a bit off. He seemed to be standing between heaven and earth, yet he also seemed to be non-existent, completely integrated into heaven and earth.
He didn't move an inch, but stood there like a wooden statue, his expression calm, even to the point of being expressionless.
But the calmer the expression, the more one senses an undercurrent of suppressed tension.
"Yang... Yang Ming?" Li Xiaoru seemed to sense that something was wrong with Yang Ming's condition and called out tentatively.
But Yang Ming seemed not to hear, still staring straight at Lu Ziming, something seemed to be surging in his eyes.
Lu Ziming said with a mocking smile, "You all curse me and hate me now, but sooner or later you will all become me, and that day will not be too late."
Suddenly, Yang Ming spoke. He stared at Lu Ziming, his tone indifferent and unfamiliar to everyone, as if he had become a different person.
"Hugh, can I kill him?"
An indifferent voice echoed in the room.
Lu Ziming was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You? Kill me? Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"Are you trying to make me laugh myself to death, and then inherit my ghost money, with just a mere early-stage fourth-tier cultivator?"
Yang Ming's expression remained unchanged in the face of the mockery; he was waiting for Fang Xiu's answer.
Fang Xiu smiled.
A cryptic smile played at the corners of his lips.
He knew very well why Yang Ming was asking for his opinion.
Yang Ming wasn't concerned with whether he could win the fight, but rather with the potential impact on the others afterward.
From beginning to end, he never considered his own life or death, but was afraid of implicating others.
Therefore, Yang Ming was waiting for Fang Xiu's answer.
That is, will there be any irreversible consequences in the future?
Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out in the room.
"Yes, kill him."
The same calm, the same nonchalant attitude, the same disregard for a fifth-tier spirit master.
Lu Ziming couldn't stop laughing. He felt that this world was absurd. When did a third-order ant and a fourth-order weakling dare to discuss the life and death of a fifth-order powerhouse?
