Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161
Staying for a week or a few days was fine. Even staying for a month was fine, but what was the point of staying for a year?
It was better not to be reasonable. Jiang Ming did not care. He would kill everyone and everything who stood in the way of their escape. His expression immediately turned cold at the thought of this.
“That’s impossible. Let’s go now. I’ve changed my mind.”
The village chief groaned. His walking stick knocked on the ground like a drum. He said disdainfully, “You want to leave?” That’s impossible. Everyone in this village has spiritual energy and has set up an array. As long as you ignore our wishes and do something, you will suffer the backlash of these arrays and the invasion of spiritual energy. In fact, your spiritual energy will not be able to be used. I think you should just surrender.”
“Heh.” Sikong Wuyuan saw that Jiang Ming had made his stance clear. He quickly adjusted his stance and said, “What Jiu Zhu wants is what we want. Even if we die today, we will die outside. We will not leave a trace of our aura in this village.”
“How arrogant! ”
The village chief began to knock his walking stick again.
This time, when he knocked, the ground shook a little. The louder he knocked, the stronger the shaking was.
Jiang Ming and the other two fell to the ground, but Yuan Hehe still refused to admit defeat.
He tried to use his spiritual energy and found that just as the village chief had said, his spiritual energy seemed to have been completely sealed.
He could not help but feel helpless. He looked at Sikong Wuyuan and Jiang Ming and said, “Sikong Wuyuan, Jiu Zhu, quickly check if you can use your spiritual energy. I can’t use my spiritual energy anymore. I suddenly feel like I’m going to die. I’m afraid we have to compromise now.”
Both of them were stunned.
They originally thought that what the village chief said was a lie. They did not expect it to be true.
Then, they began to use their spiritual energy.
Jiang Ming felt that there was no problem with it. He could use all his spiritual energy.
Sikong Wuyuan, however, remained completely silent. He even smiled bitterly like Yuan Hehe. “Jiu Zhu, Yuan Hehe. It seems that we really have to compromise this time.”
Jiang Ming was confused. “l can use my spiritual energy. Did you get hit by something?”
Before he could finish, the village chief became smug.
“You guys probably can’t use your spiritual energy anymore, right? Kowtow to us now and apologize to all of us, and we’ll forgive you. In addition, you have to stay here for a year before we let you go. During this year, you will have to do countless jobs for us to repay us for not killing you. You will not have any complaints. You will have to work like dogs. You will not even be able to eat or sleep.”
Hearing this, Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe exploded in anger.
“Are you treating people like livestock? Even if we’re captives, we don’t need to be treated like this by you. You guys just want us to die. Alright, it looks like we have to fight you guys!
They had already understood the reality of the situation. They snorted coldly and said, “Even if we don’t have spiritual energy, we will still do our best to defeat you. You guys are just a bunch of weaklings.”
Sikong Wuyuan clenched his fists and punched out with his bare hands.
However, before he could get close, the villagers and animals suddenly rushed over and knocked him out.
It was just a light collision, but it gathered a huge force, and there was even a faint flame spreading.
His clothes were instantly set ablaze, and his entire body was burning in the flames. He wanted to scream, but he realized that his throat had been burned to the point that he could not make a sound at all. He could only struggle.
Jiang Ming quickly threw a water ball at Sikong Wuyuan, and the flames on his body were extinguished.
Such a simple spell not only shocked Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe, but it also shocked the village chief and the villagers.
Yuan Hehe thought that Jiang Ming was like them, but he was not.
“Jiu Zhu, how did you do that?” he asked Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.
Did Yuan Hehe not hear him say he was unaffected?
In fact, Yuan Hehe did not hear him. He had been focused on his lack of spiritual energy, so he did not pay much attention to other things.
Sikong Wuyuan looked at the wounds on his body that were healing. He could not help but look at Jiang Ming and say, “Jiu Zhu, your spiritual energy really surprised me. I felt like I was going to suffocate to death just now. I didn’t expect that you would save me with a water ball out of thin air. What kind of spiritual energy is this? It’s truly unfathomable.”
At this moment, the expressions of the village chief and the villagers had become paralyzed with fear. They were petrified and stood rooted to the ground. Even the animals did not move at all.
Jiang Ming coughed. “l guess it’s just luck. Let’s look at you two first.” He found it strange again.
“Shouldn’t you be attacking us now? Why are you all so scared?”
When they looked over, they realized that these people seemed to have become as stiff as stone. They did not have any reaction at all.
“Has it changed back to how it was before?”
Yuan Hehe could not help but curse.
“They were just putting on an act just now, and now they’re probably putting on an act again. I’d like to see how long they can keep up the act.”
With that, he swaggered toward the villagers.
After thinking for a moment, he took the lead and went to the village chief’s side. He raised his fist and knocked on the man’s head.
The force of this knock was huge, but the village chief did not return to his senses at all.
Yuan Hehe was stunned for a moment and looked at his hand.
For the first time, he doubted his strength.
Could it be that he had already become weak?
From what he saw, no matter what he did, the village chief would probably not be able to regain his senses.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel confused.
What was the reason?
He could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it. He simply turned around and walked in Jiang Mings direction.
After turning his head, he heard a thud. It was like someone had fallen to their knees.
Immediately after, there were even more thuds. It was obvious that more people were kneeling down.
Yuan Hehe’s body trembled in fear.
Could it be that these people were going to use some powerful move?
He turned around and saw that the people around him had already knelt down and were kowtowing deeply.
“Respected person of destiny, we were insensible and offended you. I hope you won’t be angry. If you have any dissatisfaction, just take it out on us. As long as you’re happy, that’s enough..’!
