The old Taoist priest looked at the two bandits and sighed inwardly. He had noticed that the two bandits had dark clouds over their faces, and there was a hint of impending bloodshed.
He did some quick calculations and realized that the two of them would soon meet a violent end.
Therefore, he specifically sought out the two of them, wanting to save their lives.
Good advice is useless against a damned devil.
This robber's life was nearing its end; he was beyond reasoning with...
At this point, the two bandits were somewhat displeased.
What's with that old Taoist priest's gaze?
Whom is this look of pity on?
The two robbers exchanged a glance, then nodded, their eyes gleaming with a fierce light.
"You old bastard! Since you don't have the money to buy your life, then die! I'll kill you!"
The shorter bandit suddenly roared, raised his steel knife high, and then swung it down, the knife turning into a cold light that slashed towards the old Taoist's crown.
However, before the steel blade could fall, the old Taoist priest swiftly leaped away, dodging the blow.
"Hehe... Can't you see clearly? This humble Taoist is right here!"
After dodging the blade, the old Taoist priest teased her with a playful expression.
The two robbers immediately flew into a rage.
Another bandit suddenly stepped forward, brandished his steel knife, and slashed diagonally at the old Taoist's shoulder.
Another bandit also stepped forward, his blade flashing as he slashed at the old Taoist's waist.
Just as the blade was about to strike, the old Taoist leaped into the air and instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting away.
The two robbers joined forces and slashed at thin air with their swords.
However, both of them looked rather grim at this moment.
This is absolutely unbelievable!
Although they had long heard that there was a group of cultivators in this world who called themselves Qi Refiners.
They possess supernatural powers and abilities, can live on dew and wind, conjure soldiers from beans, roam freely in the mortal world, and live forever...
However, these are all legends; they have never seen such a person and thought they were all made up.
But now, they are somewhat uncertain.
If there are no cultivators in the world, then what was the meaning of the old Taoist priest just turning into light and disappearing?
There are martial arts masters in this world who have cultivated true qi, and there are also those who possess the lightness skill to leap several meters in one bound.
But what that old Taoist priest just did was clearly not the same as light-body kung fu!
No matter how good one's lightness skill is in the world, I've never heard of anyone being able to cultivate it into light.
Just then, the old Taoist's voice drifted on the wind.
"Alas! Originally, this old Taoist priest took pity on you two for your difficult survival and wanted to save you, but since you two are ungrateful, there's nothing I can do..."
This is truly a catastrophe, and no one can save us now!
Meanwhile, Hu Le had already come up behind the two robbers, who were still unaware of him.
Even before that, upon seeing the two bandits from afar, even just their backs, Hu Le's physical body suddenly began to churn with inexplicable blood energy, and a lingering hatred-filled resentment surfaced in his mind.
Hu Le was a Daoist saint who understood cause and effect. Even without divination, he quickly realized where this lingering thought came from.
The body that was originally inhabited, along with the former page, clearly died at the hands of these two bandits.
Only because of the hatred for someone who killed him, the last trace of consciousness remaining in this body gathered in the sea of consciousness and manifested.
Of course, this was the last trace that the scholar left in this body.
With Hu Le erasing that lingering resentment through his divine sense, the scholar was finally no longer connected to this physical body...
If they hadn't met, Hu Le would naturally have been too lazy to deliberately seek out these two to avenge the scholar.
But now that the two had delivered themselves to his doorstep, Hu Le didn't mind taking action and casually killing them, thus severing this karmic connection for the scholar from his previous life.
He walked up behind the two men and saw them still staring blankly ahead, so he coughed lightly.
The two of them immediately shuddered, turned around like a whirlwind, and finally saw Hu Le.
"you……"
The taller man was about to unleash a torrent of curses, but when he saw Hu Le's face clearly, his face twitched, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
He had clearly recognized the face of the scholar.
The shorter man, however, wasn't as perceptive as him. He was still cursing, "Where did you come from, you scholar! Are you looking for death...?"
However, he had only finished cursing when he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged.
He suddenly turned to look at his companion.
At this moment, the tall bandit muttered to himself, "Second brother, don't you think this scholar looks somewhat familiar?"
The short bandit blinked, looked at Hu Le again, and scrutinized him carefully.
After a moment, he finally recognized her and stammered, "You...you're not that...that..."
He remembered clearly that not long ago he had robbed such a scholar, and he had even personally escorted the scholar on his way.
He remembered very clearly that he had plunged a knife into the scholar's heart, and only after the scholar had completely died did the two brothers take their things and leave.
What... has this scholar come back to life?
Could they be twins?
Hey hey!
Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual...
"You two have committed numerous evils by robbing people on the road and disregarding human life. Today, you have encountered this humble Taoist priest, which means your days are numbered."
Don't you all disbelieve in karma?
"Today, I, this humble Taoist priest, will send you two down here, so you may know what the cycle of cause and effect, and the inescapable retribution, truly mean."
As Hu Le spoke, he flicked his bamboo cane and struck the two men in the chest.
As a cultivator, even though his cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, these two bandits were ultimately just ordinary people with some strength.
Despite their martial arts skills, they hadn't even cultivated any true qi.
Even in the martial arts world, he would be considered a nobody.
Hu Le's ability to deal with them was simply overwhelming.
Before the two could react, Hu Le's bamboo cane struck their hearts almost simultaneously.
With just one strike, they easily shattered their heart meridians.
Their eyes widened, and before they could even utter a scream, blood flowed from their seven orifices, and they both collapsed to the ground.
As the saying goes, those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. In the past, they robbed people on the road and had countless lives on their hands.
Today I met Hu Le, and finally I paid the price.
This is simply a cycle of cause and effect.
In the past, they slaughtered passersby as easily as killing chickens.
Today, they've fallen into Hu Le's hands, and Hu Le can slaughter them as easily as killing chickens...
With a flick of his bamboo staff, Hu Le casually killed the two men. After retracting the staff, he glanced indifferently at the two corpses, then looked away and turned to leave.
However, before he could take two steps, a streak of light shot from afar and gently landed in front of him.
The rainbow light dissipated in an instant, revealing an old Taoist priest.
Hu Le looked up and saw that the person who came was the slovenly old Taoist priest who had just escaped from the jaws of death.
"You ruthless young friend..."
The moment the old Taoist priest spoke, Hu Le frowned...
