Chapter 360 - Obstruction
North gate of Xuantian City.
As the sky gradually darkened, there were almost no cultivators crossing the city gates by now. Anyone who dared to leave the city at this time was either fools who didn’t know their places or peerless experts who were confident in their cultivation!
By the time Su Zimo and the others arrived at the city gates, two cultivators were pushing the tall and thick stone doors shut slowly.
“Fellow Daoists, please hold on!”
Su Zimo shouted hurriedly.
If he wanted to enter the city, Su Zimo could burst forth with Ethereal Wings or Divine Steed Fleeting and make it through the gates before it closed.
However, Ji Chengtian and the others could not do so.
The few of them were physically and mentally exhausted after the battles along the way. There was no way they had energy left given their injuries.
As those cultivators discussed, more than 10 cultivators came down from the city walls. Their leader was a tall and burly man whose clothes exposed his hairy chest and carried a fierce gaze.
“It’s already past 7pm and you haven’t closed the city gates? Are you two tired of living?”
The burly cultivator’s voice was rough and he spoke like a ruffian.
Su Zimo’s group was still nearby.
When they heard that voice, Ji Chengtian and the others were stunned and their hearts sank.
A cultivator shook his head with pursed lips when he saw this, smiling. “Three days? There’s no way the six of them can leave now that he has appeared.”
“That’s right. The few of them are already at the end of their road given their injuries through their arduous journey. There’s no way that man is going to let go of these lambs that are ripe for the slaughter.”
“Who is that man?” Someone asked.
“He’s the right hand man of the Four Mounted Bandits, Chou Wanli! Even though he’s only at six meridian Foundation Establishment, he is skilled in corporal mortification martial arts and is extremely strong with a vengeful bloodthirst! There’s few people who are willing to provoke him at the north gate of Xuantian City!”
“The Four Mounted Bandits… Psst!”
Many cultivators were shocked when they heard that, shutting their mouths and gasping in secret.
City gates.
The two cultivators were so scared that their bodies shivered as they hurriedly pointed towards the back of Su Zimo’s group. “It’s them! We were about to shut the city gates when the six of them barged in!”
“Hmm?”
Chou Wanli turned towards Su Zimo’s group as a violent glint flashed in his eyes.
If everyone else could tell that Su Zimo’s group was weak after traveling, it was only natural that Chou Wanli’s burning eyes could tell the same.
He recognized their weakness with a single glance.
“The six of you up front, stop right there!”
Chou Wanli hollered and charged murderously towards Su Zimo’s group with more than 10 other cultivators.
Ji Chengtian and the others sighed internally and could only stop and turn back.
Initially, Su Zimo was walking right at the front. After they turned around, he was already behind them.
Su Zimo was about to advance when Ji Chengtian held him back and whispered, “Zimo, don’t be reckless. Let’s see what this man wants. It’ll be best if we don’t have to fight.”
“That’s right, bro. Judging from the cultivators around us, this guy seems to have a powerful background. Let’s try not to fight him head-on,” Little fatty whispered as well with sweat dripping down his forehead.
