Chapter 2484 You Poor Ghost

In everyone's eyes, this fellow's actions had already crossed the line, but they never expected something even more outrageous to happen.

The Black-robed man raised his hand and slapped Baili Hongjun across the Face.

"You pauper, why do you only have so little money in your Storage Ring?"

Everyone present was instantly stunned; the robber was actually complaining that the victim had too little money.

"Uh…"

Baili Hongjun was bewildered and aggrieved by the slap. He had just been robbed yesterday, and this was a newly replaced Storage Ring. What more money could he possibly have?

"Pauper, and you call yourself a Crown Prince?"

The Black-robed man seemed very dissatisfied and slapped him again.

Baili Xingkong and the others watched from the side, practically going insane with rage, but they dared not make any rash moves, fearing that the fellow would exert a bit more force and turn the Crown Prince into a pile of meat paste.

"Your Excellency, isn't this going too far?"

Baili Xingkong roared.

"Alright, I'll give you Face. I'll return this pauper to you now!"

After the Black-robed man finished speaking, he flicked his hand, and Baili Hongjun instantly shot towards them like a cannonball, directly flying towards Baili Xingkong.

Baili Xingkong did not dare to be careless. He quickly circulated his True Qi and caught Baili Hongjun.

The Black-robed man used this time to leap down from the city wall. This time, he did not choose to flee into the distance but instead plunged directly into the moat below.

As the number one Empire in Tiansheng State, the Holy Dragon Imperial City's moat was extremely wide, spanning over ten zhang wide and two to three zhang deep.

"Evil villain, where do you think you can run?"

Baili Xingkong tossed the Crown Prince in his hand to a subordinate nearby and, like a flash of lightning, lunged forward, simultaneously drawing the longsword from his back.

He had now made up his mind that he would rather kill the opponent on the spot than let him escape again.

As the Black-robed man got closer and closer to the moat, the longsword in his hand slashed down through the air, drawing a sword light seven to eight zhang long, carrying the might of destroying heaven and earth as it descended.

The surrounding people secretly gasped in awe. A Great Ascension Peak Cultivator's strike, such a powerful sword, was far beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.

But the Black-robed man completely ignored it. His speed increased by a few more points, and he plunged directly into the moat, disappearing into the river with a splash.

Baili Xingkong's sword followed immediately. The sharp sword light fiercely struck the moat.

People often said that a master's sword could split mountains and sever rivers, and now everyone had witnessed it firsthand.

The full-force sword strike of a Great Ascension Peak Cultivator was too astonishing. Wherever the sword light passed, the moat was directly cut into two sections, and the river water was instantly evaporated completely, revealing the wide riverbed.

But to everyone's surprise, the Black-robed man was gone. Under such a fierce sword light, there was no trace of blood or a single person.

Baili Xingkong arrived shortly after, standing in the Void Realm above the moat. His incredibly powerful Divine Sense spread out like mercury, scanning the entire moat from top to bottom.

But what infuriated him was that, just like last time, he still couldn't find any trace of the Black-robed man.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could he escape?"

The Black-robed man had always been within his line of sight, and the powerful Cultivators sent out earlier had already completed the encirclement. In such a situation, even a fly couldn't escape, so how could that person have fled?

But no matter how unwilling he was to accept it, the fact was right before his eyes. The severed moat had already flowed back together, the water turbulent, but there was no sign of anyone.

"Search for him! Find him for me! Whoever can capture him, my Holy Dragon Empire is willing to offer two hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones as a reward!"

Baili Xingkong was clearly enraged, directly doubling the bounty.

And those observing Cultivators were waiting for this opportunity. They swarmed forward at once, beginning to search the surroundings.

Some Cultivators who Cultivated water-attribute Cultivation Technique even directly drained the moat, revealing the entire riverbed, but the result was still the same: even the mud was dug out, but there was no sign of anyone.

"Your Royal Highness, he's nowhere to be found!"

The dispatched men returned to report, all empty-handed.

"I'm furious!"

Baili Xingkong was truly going insane with anger. He never expected the opponent to escape from his grasp twice in a row!

He drew the longsword from his back and fiercely slashed it out.

In his extreme rage, the sword erupted with incredible power, directly splitting the moat in two, leaving a bottomless chasm.

But even in his anger, he had no other choice but to return to the palace with Baili Hongjun to report.

In the Void Realm in the distance, Hua Sijin and Hua Ruyu stood side by side.

Hua Ruyu said, "Elder, can you tell how that Little fellow escaped?"

"I can't tell. There were no flaws."

Having learned from the previous experience, Hua Sijin had actually been paying close attention to the Black-robed man this time.

But even so, he still couldn't discern any clues when the opponent finally disappeared.

"Alright, let's go. The competition is about to begin."

After Hua Sijin finished speaking, he took Hua Ruyu and hurried towards the Royal Training Field. Although they lost a match yesterday, they still had to compete with Leng Qingqiu for third place today.

In a room at the inn, Ye Bufan held a hundred shiny stones in his hand, which were the Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had just robbed.

This item had dense Spiritual Qi. Just absorbing a little made all the pores in his body feel comfortable.

It was his upper-body Dao Body that had gone to extort Baili Xingkong. After obtaining the Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he directly sent them into the Dragon King Palace, and then, under the cover of the river water, he dissipated into the Void Realm.

Such an unusual escape method meant that even if the other party dug three feet deep or even turned the entire Kunlun Continent upside down, they wouldn't find a single trace of him.

Across from him, the scruffy old man Xuanyuan Zhantian was sitting at a table drinking.

"Little fellow, tell me, how will you thank this old man?"

"No need to say, just tell me what you want?"

Ye Bufan now looked at this old man with completely new eyes. The fact that he could quietly bring Baili Hongjun out of the imperial palace meant he was definitely no simple character.

And this great gift brought him a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, so he was naturally filled with gratitude.

"This old man doesn't ask for much, just bring me good wine and good food."

Xuanyuan Zhantian's stomach didn't look big, but it seemed like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

"No problem."

Ye Bufan waved his hand, and three boxes of wine appeared before him.

"Baijiu, beer, red wine, whatever kind you want, old man, I have it all."

"Not bad! Not bad!"

Xuanyuan Zhantian's green bean-like eyes crinkled with laughter as he happily collected the wines.

"Little fellow, do you have any delicious dishes?"

Ye Bufan patted his chest and generously said, "What kind of dishes do you want, old man? I have everything here."

"Just something unique, something you'll never forget after one bite, something this old man has never tasted before."

"That's simple!"

A cunning smile appeared on Ye Bufan's Face, and then a shiny black round object appeared in his palm.

"Old man, this is good stuff! It perfectly meets your requirements: unique, unforgettable after one bite, and I guarantee you've never tasted it before."

Xuanyuan Zhantian immediately widened his green bean-like eyes, curiously examining the object before him: "What is this?"

Ye Bufan chuckled, "This is called preserved egg, a very delicious delicacy."
