259: Chapter 259 Ruthless and Ruthless, Black Storm

Tap...

Just as the crowd was questioning what happened, the sound of footsteps came from within the dust, revealing a figure in green robes who looked around with a calm expression.

He snorted coldly in his heart; this Black-Corner Region was indeed not a place for normal people.

A trace of vigilance rose in his heart as he walked slowly toward the main gate. The camp was composed of massive tents, and beyond that, there were various stalls.

In all sorts of strange and eccentric places along that street, many people carrying weapons were wandering about.

Just as he was about to take a stroll around...

A few figures flashed before him, and immediately three men and one woman blocked Hun Tiandi's path. One of the men, holding a large saber, revealed a ferocious face.

The woman was dressed in a dark red dress that accentuated her full curves and enchanting figure, with a soft whip coiled around her waist.

She looked at Hun Tiandi, posing provocatively.

"Jie jie, a rookie who just arrived in the Black-Corner Region. Hand over the fifty thousand gold coins in your hand and any valuables on your person. This is the first rule I'm teaching you: don't reveal your wealth so easily!"

An ear-piercing voice rang out, and Hun Tiandi smiled slightly.

"The man from before, was he one of yours? Are you here to avenge him?"

"Avenge? You're thinking too much. Being killed by a single sword strike just means his strength wasn't enough. Stop wasting time and hand over your precious treasures, storage ring, weapons..."

A burly man spoke, resting his large saber on his shoulder as he grinned.

"As expected of the Black-Corner Region... Do you really take me for a rookie who knows nothing?" At this moment, Hun Tiandi's gaze swept across the surroundings; the people stopped on the street were all watching the show.

However, not a single person came forward to help Hun Tiandi out of his predicament.

On the contrary, every one of them had a playful look on their face, enjoying the spectacle.

Hun Tiandi reached out and drew his long saber, his gaze coldly scanning the area as he spoke slowly: "I only have this long saber on me. Which of the four of you should I give it to?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the four people blocking the path looked at each other, their eyes filled with amusement.

Having spent years in the Black-Corner Region, how could they not see that Hun Tiandi's words were an attempt to sow discord? Their gazes fell back onto him.

Normally, when coming to the Black-Corner Region for the first time, even a rookie should pretend to be a veteran and not let anyone see their true depth.

Because there are no good people in the Black-Corner Region...

No one will come out to help you; if they don't kick you while you're down, you're considered lucky.

Seeing Hun Tiandi's actions, the expressions of the four people blocking him turned ugly.

"Little brother, those words really break big sister's heart. The Black-Corner Region is very dangerous; if you keep treasures on you, you might not be able to handle them."

The woman in the dark red dress lightly licked her red lips and spoke slowly.

"Big sister, your posturing is worse than rotting meat under the scorching sun—it's not even worth a sniff!" Hun Tiandi teased, directly exposing the woman's true face.

The reason Hun Tiandi did not restrain his edge and provoked these people from the Black-Corner Region as soon as he arrived was that he needed battle; his long saber needed to drink blood.

In this chaotic Black-Corner Region, he could fight and kill to his heart's content.

"Kid, you're looking for death!" The man with the saber on his shoulder turned cold. Without further nonsense, he swung his large saber directly at Hun Tiandi with a ruthless strike.

Clang...

Before the large saber could descend, a green figure flashed past. The ferocious faces of the three men turned pale as if they had suffered a massive blow, and their bodies flew backward.

They suddenly crashed into the tents behind them, spitting out blood that dyed the tents red, a sight that was extremely eye-catching.

"Bastard..."

In the blink of an eye, Hun Tiandi had used speed against speed to directly take down the three men. A flash of surprise crossed the dark-red-robed woman's beautiful eyes, followed by even more ruthlessness.

Just as her jade-like hand was about to grasp the handle of her long whip, a bolt of green lightning suddenly appeared before her eyes, and a long saber rested against her neck.

Hun Tiandi said chillingly, "In the future, before you make a move, keep your eyes peeled and don't provoke people you shouldn't provoke."

"Next time? No, perhaps there won't be a next time..."

Puchi!

As the words fell, before the dark-red-robed woman could speak, the blade swept across her slender swan-like neck, and a waterfall of red flowed out.

Such a glamorous beauty perished just like that, her fragrance fading away.

"San Niang! You bastard..." the man who had attacked first shouted furiously.

"Hmm?" A flash of ferocity appeared in Hun Tiandi's eyes. His soul power surged within his sea of consciousness as he directly executed the Soul Weapon Art, tearing through the consciousness of the three men, causing their souls to shatter and dissipate.

After the exchange, Hun Tiandi realized that all four were at the Dou Ling level, roughly estimated to be around Three-star Dou Ling.

He shook his head slightly, put away his long saber, and walked slowly toward the street.

The crowd that had been watching was left dumbfounded, looking at the youth in green with awe and fear as they let him walk into the crowd and disappear.

"Tsk tsk, this youth is truly ruthless and merciless. His movements are clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation."

"Even a woman makes no difference in his hands..."

"This youth will surely accomplish great things in the Black-Corner Region."

"But what method did that youth use at the end? To invisibly kill three Dou Lings..."

Looking at the corpses at the gate, which emitted a thick scent of blood, there was no pity.

"It seems he has completely adapted to the cruel laws of the Black-Corner Region..." Venerable Qing Feng spoke indifferently.

Elder Dan stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Hun Tiandi did not know that after his slaughter, he had earned a decent evaluation. Liu Ling's previous words were not wrong at all.

Strength determines reason, and it also determines status!

After searching around, he didn't see anyone selling maps...

Just as he was about to pick a direction and speed off into the distance, a low voice rang out from a chubby figure.

"This gentleman, are you looking to buy a map? I've watched you walk all this way..." the fat man in fine clothing said with a smile.

"Do you have a map?" Hun Tiandi inquired indifferently.

"Hehe, a map? I am a walking map. I'm also a merchant who travels the Great Plains of the Black-Corner Region, so naturally, I carry the most precise maps..."

The fat man said.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hun Tiandi responded. In this lawless land of the Black-Corner Region, nothing was free.

"Actually, in the Great Plains of the Black-Corner Region, even if you have a map, you might not necessarily find the correct route."

"Black Storms occasionally appear on these Great Plains, blotting out the sun, sending sand and stones flying, and changing the terrain. At such times, even a map is useless."

"Only merchant caravans that travel the Great Plains year-round can successfully find their way out!"

"Since you've just arrived, sir, you probably don't meet those conditions!" the fat man in fine clothing said with a smile.

"Black Storm?" Hun Tiandi pondered slightly before speaking.

"That's right, the Black Storm. There are often experts who roam the Great Plains, but when they encounter a Black Storm, they lose their way and end up going in circles until they die of exhaustion..."

The fat man explained.

"Sir, I won't beat around the bush with you. I saw the battle at the gate earlier. I will lead you out of the Great Plains of the Black-Corner Region, and in return, when my caravan encounters danger, please step in to protect us?"

The fat man in fine clothing got straight to the point, looking at Hun Tiandi with a face full of smiles.

Hun Tiandi frowned slightly, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Fine."

Although he didn't know what this Black Storm the fat man mentioned really was, it was better not to take unnecessary risks.

"Haha, our destination is Black Seal City. There's an annual auction held there in three days. I need to escort goods and require powerful guards; otherwise, I wouldn't recruit a stranger."

Hearing Hun Tiandi agree, the fat man explained.

"Oh? An auction, interesting!" Hun Tiandi smiled inwardly. Arriving early was not as good as arriving just at the right time.
