164: Chapter 164 Stop fighting! You won't kill anyone like this! Xiao Ce and the other two: Lost again?
"Well, I just want to sell them for money!"
"The Xia Kingdom is the wealthiest country nearby; selling to them is the best option!"
"Besides, these antiques might just carry the five million years of Huaxia's providence!"
"So, taking them away to extract a bit of providence is perfectly reasonable!"
Ji Mie muttered to himself...
He shoved the bronzeware, calligraphy, paintings, and jade pendants engraved with ancient Xia patterns into his spatial storage all at once.
And at this time...
Shen Yuan and the others also arrived at the scene.
First battle: take out the experts!
"Something's not right. Do you guys smell that? The scent of blood is very heavy!"
After they crept closer, Chu Yang spoke with a frown.
"Indeed, and the surrounding aura is extremely chaotic. It doesn't seem like there are any living people moving about."
"The people here... seem to have all been wiped out."
Xiao Ce and Lin Yu also spoke up.
Shen Yuan flared up upon hearing this, rolling up his sleeves and charging forward.
"Who did this?! This was my prey!"
"Daring to snatch my kill, are you tired of living?"
The group no longer hid themselves, dashing out from behind the trees in unison.
Charge!
They rushed inside; the ground was covered in corpses!
And then...
The group ran straight into Ji Mie, who had just walked out!
Their eyes met, and the air instantly froze.
Shen Yuan looked suspicious. "Ji Mie? Why are you here?"
Ji Mie was also stunned. "Shen Yuan? Why did you come?"
Xiao Ce, Lin Yu, and Ye Han were stunned at first, then their eyes widened into saucers.
Ji Mie!?
In that instant, fury rushed straight to their heads.
"Ji Mie! You bastard!"
Xiao Ce let out a great shout and was the first to charge!
Lin Yu and Ye Han followed closely behind!
We didn't beat you last time, but this time we'll give it everything we've got!
Ji Mie sneered. "A bunch of losers!"
The three grew even angrier!
Howling and shouting, the sounds of fighting erupted!
Shen Yuan and Chu Yang stood where they were, expressionless.
They start brawling the moment they meet!
Bang! Bang! Bang!—
The sounds of their collisions instantly rang out.
The three surrounded Ji Mie to attack, yet they couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.
Instead, with a casual wave of Ji Mie's hand, they each took a punch in turn.
Shen Yuan glanced at Zhang Xuan, who was watching the show like a bystander, and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going in?"
Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes hard, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Go in for what?! I don't have any grudge or enmity with Ji Mie!"
"Last time was only because you threw me out to use as a hidden weapon."
Zhang Xuan's face was covered in dark lines.
Shen Yuan: "..."
It's just that he found Ce-zi and the others first.
Otherwise, with Ji Mie's nature of extracting providence, he definitely would have plucked a few strands from you too.
Seeing the three being beaten into a steady retreat, Shen Yuan suddenly put his hands on his hips and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Stop fighting!"
"Stop fighting!"
With a thought, Chu Yang raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
The lake water in the distant mountain forest instantly flew into the air, turning into a torrential downpour that splashed over the group.
"You can't kill anyone like this!"
Chu Yang shouted.
Shen Yuan immediately gave a thumbs up. "Yang Zi, not bad! You're understanding me more and more!"
"This atmosphere is handled perfectly!"
Shen Yuan was overjoyed.
Chu Yang gave him a sidelong glance. "I was the first Child of Destiny you found."
"After staying with you for so long, I feel like I've become quite a pervert myself..."
"But, I really like it! Hehehe!"
Chu Yang stuck out his tongue.
Ji Mie and the others: "..."
You can't kill anyone like this?
You try it!
See if it can actually kill someone!
Shen Yuan shouted again, "Stop fighting!"
As soon as the words left his mouth—
Xiao Ce, Lin Yu, and Ye Han had already been pinned to the ground by Ji Mie, their faces pressed against the dirt, unable to move.
Xiao Ce's Trio: "..."
They had taken so many beatings these past few days.
Farmed so many villain points!
Their cultivation had also increased significantly!
And yet, they still couldn't beat him?
Was the gap between epic-level and Mythological Rank really this large?
Ji Mie ignored the trio's frustration, let go, and walked straight to Shen Yuan's side. "What are you doing here?"
Shen Yuan shrugged. "This and that, so on and so forth."
Ji Mie nodded. "I see. To think I unintentionally gave you a hand!"
Shen Yuan asked again, "And you? Why are you here?"
Ji Mie scratched his head, his tone dismissive. "Out for a stroll to clear my head."
"Extracting some providence along the way for my cultivation."
"The Little Japanese have messy providence, but there was a Child of Destiny among them who I killed."
"I plan to extract the providence of everyone on this island..."
"And while I'm at it, pluck away the national providence of the Little Japanese too."
Ji Mie said calmly.
Shen Yuan's group: "..."
You should have said you were here earlier!
If we knew you were here, why would we have run all the way over?
A wasted trip.
Ji Mie paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and waved his hand.
A pile of cultural relics clattered onto the open ground—bronzeware, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry piled up like a small mountain.
Shen Yuan and the others: ????
What is this for?
A robbery?
"I originally thought it'd be a pity to leave these relics here, so I planned to sell them for money."
"Since you're here, Shen Yuan, you take them."
"Next time I go to Magic City to find you, you have to give me money! No welching!"
Ji Mie glanced at Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan smiled and patted his chest in guarantee. "Sure! No problem!"
"However..."
"Ji Mie!"
"You say you're short on money?"
Shen Yuan pinched his chin, his spiritual sense scanning the pile as he chuckled. "There's plenty of jewelry and gold in here that you didn't take."
"Isn't jewelry and gold easier to sell than cultural relics?"
"Selling for money... you wouldn't be short on money at all."
"During your time killing and looting among the Little Japanese, you should have become filthy rich long ago."
Shen Yuan smiled slightly. "You just wanted to bring them back!"
"Bullshit!"
Ji Mie's eyes turned cold, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I just felt these things could fetch a good price."
Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Fine, let's not bicker over that. I'm asking you, is that idea of yours about being destined to destroy the world still 'destined' or not?"
Ji Mie's body stiffened, and he stumbled, nearly falling over.
Ji Mie remained expressionless, turning to leave. "Shen Yuan, sometimes, I really want to kill you!"
"Destined or not?"
"It's too messy!"
"I don't want to think about that question anymore!"
Ji Mie's figure instantly vanished into the mountain forest.
Shen Yuan looked in the direction he disappeared and chuckled. "That guy is quite the tsundere."
Chu Yang shrugged and gave a fair assessment. "Actually, he's not too bad!"
"But he's destined to destroy the world!"
Shen Yuan shook his head, then pointed at the relics on the ground and waved to the others. "Pack them up!"
Zhang Xuan stepped forward and put the relics into his ring.
Xiao Ce's trio scrambled up from the ground, looking thoroughly aggrieved.
Xiao Ce rubbed his chest. "Old Shen, what's the deal with you and Ji Mie?"
"You two seem to have a pretty good relationship?"
Xiao Ce asked curiously.
Shen Yuan spread his hands with an innocent look. "Maybe it's because we're both Villains. Ji Mie's innate attitude toward me is quite good!"
Xiao Ce's group: "..."
We Children of Destiny are fighting him to the death...
And you two Villains have freaking become friends, haven't you?
"Sigh, we still need to increase our cultivation!"
Lin Yu lamented.
Chu Yang smiled gently. "I fought him to a draw."
Xiao Ce, Lin Yu, and Ye Han: "..."
The three of us were pinned down and rubbed into the dirt without even a chance to fight back.
And you, Yang Zi, fought him to a draw?
Is a Legendary Grade Child of Destiny really that overpowered?
Just what is your background?
Xiao Ce gritted his teeth and said with a look of frustration, "If you and Ji Mie are on good terms, Old Shen, then at worst, I won't look for trouble with him in the future!"
Lin Yu added a jab from the side, his tone merciless. "Could you even beat him if you tried?"
Xiao Ce's mouth twitched, and his face instantly darkened.
Bro, that's a low blow!
