The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

The leading young man's sword swung with extraordinary swiftness. An ordinary person would have found it difficult to dodge.

But Tong Ling was not an ordinary person. As a martial artist, she cleverly dodged the oncoming blade by turning her body to the side.

Seeing the knife miss, the leading young man anxiously shouted to his companions: "What are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and do it!"

Immediately, this group of thugs drew their weapons, either daggers or short knives, and rushed towards Tong Ling aggressively.

Duan Tianyang just watched from the sidelines, with no intention of taking any action at all.

As a martial artist, Tong Ling is more than capable of dealing with these ordinary thugs.

The thugs were seen waving their weapons and hacking at Tong Ling frantically, but Tong Ling seemed to be dancing among the swords and not only did he not show his weapons, he didn't even use his armor.

While dodging the attack, she said contemptuously: "With your limited skills, you dare to come out and blackmail others. You are simply asking for trouble."

Her ridicule made the leading young man furious. He swung the dagger with all his might at Tong Ling.

Tong Ling cleverly moved sideways, and the dagger accidentally cut the ropes that tied the wooden stakes on the carriage, making a loud noise.

A thick hemp rope was quickly cut off. The leading young man refused to give in and raised his dagger again, chasing Tong Ling closely.

Tong Ling was light and nimble, and jumped backwards nimbly to avoid the young man's attack.

He chopped three times, but didn't even touch the corner of Tong Ling's clothes.

In anger, he aimed at Tong Ling's waist and stabbed her hard.

Tong Ling dodged nimbly, but the dagger accidentally stabbed the hemp rope at the end of the carriage, breaking it immediately.

As the hemp rope broke, the wooden stakes tied to the carriage rolled down.

Tong Ling reacted quickly, stepped lightly on the ground, and moved sideways skillfully.

The young man in the lead seemed much more clumsy. Although he tried to dodge, he was still hit on the instep by the falling wooden stake.

He screamed, sat down on the ground, hugged his ankles with both hands, trembled in pain, and sweat dripped like beans.

Seeing this scene, his companions' faces suddenly changed, and they all came forward and asked with concern: "Boss, are you okay?"

The leading young man was in so much pain that he couldn't utter a complete sentence. He just shouted hurriedly: "Quick... move the wood away!"

When his companions saw how much pain he was in, they immediately took action and tried to move the wood away.

Humph, you are really asking for trouble! Tong Ling stood aside, with his chin slightly raised, and cast a playful look at the young man in the lead, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.

Several thugs were trying hard to move the wooden stake that was pressing on the young man's feet, but no matter how hard they tried, the stake didn't move at all.

Seeing them sweating and looking painful, Tong Ling couldn't help but sneer, "Didn't you have breakfast? So many people can't even move a wooden stake, how useless!"

Although the stump on the carriage was not thin, it was not so thin that it would take two or three people to lift it together.

There were clearly four or five thugs in front of him, but they were still helpless against the wooden stake. To Tong Ling, this was simply laughable.

The young man who was in the lead was sitting on the ground, still screaming.

Duan Tianyang, who was originally watching the fun, walked over. He looked down and frowned.

The young man's feet were still tightly pressed by the wooden stakes. Blood had seeped through his shoes and flowed onto the ground. It was obvious that his screams were not pretense.

He patted a thug on the shoulder, motioning him to move aside, and then said, "Move aside, let me try!"

The thug looked at him in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"

"Just passing by." Duan Tianyang answered briefly, then he held the bottom of the wooden stake and lifted it up with force.

The strength he exerted was not small. You have to know that Duan Tianyang's current cultivation has reached the Tiangang realm. The improvement of this realm has brought about significant changes in his body functions, and his strength is far beyond that of ordinary people.

However, even though he tried his best to lift the wooden stake, he only made the stake shake slightly and failed to lift it.

The slight shaking of the wooden stake caused the leading young man, whose foot was pinned down, to scream even more miserably, and he almost fainted from the pain.

Duan Tianyang was shocked when he saw this not-so-big tree stump.

He wondered why it was so heavy. He used all his strength but still couldn't move it at all. This was really unusual.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to the middle-aged man and found that the middle-aged man was evasive and his forehead was covered with sweat.

The middle-aged man hurriedly called out to the coachmen: "Everyone come and help move the wooden stake!" Hearing his call, the coachmen got off their carriages and came forward.

Just as they were about to move the wood pile, Duan Tianyang stopped them. He looked directly at the middle-aged man and questioned, "What kind of wood are you carrying? It's heavier than stone!"

"It's... it's rosewood..."

Duan Tianyang looked confused. He knew a lot about medicinal herbs and wood, but the unusually heavy material in front of him felt very unfamiliar to him.

He raised his hand, and his fingertips were instantly covered with a layer of gleaming silver metal, which surrounded his palm like flowing water. In an instant, his five fingers were covered with hard metal, sharp and shining with silver light.

He clenched down with force, and his fingers like steel hooks pierced deeply into the stump.

He tried his best and shouted loudly, trying to lift the wooden stake, but there was only a crisp "crack". The wooden stake was still as steady as a rock, but a piece of bark was torn off by his strength.

He shook off the bark and sawdust in his hands, his eyes fixed on the torn gap in the wooden stake. There was a gleam of silver light inside, as if some mysterious thing was hidden there.

His heart moved, and he reached deep into it and grabbed again. In his hand, there was a heavy silver brick. This silver brick was thick and long.

And this is just one of the many silver bricks hidden inside the wooden stake.

Duan Tianyang discovered that the entire wooden pile was densely filled with such silver bricks.

No wonder the tree stump was so heavy. Four or five people couldn't move it even a little bit. Even I was helpless...

This isn't a tree stump, it's clearly a silver stump...

Duan Tianyang picked up the silver brick in his hand, showed it to the middle-aged man, and asked, "Does yellow sandalwood look like this?"

Tong Ling was stunned when he saw what was hidden in the tree stump, and the thugs were also stunned.

The value of so many silver bricks hidden in the tree stump is self-evident.

The middle-aged man laughed dryly, walked up to Duan Tianyang, and explained, "Brother, to be honest, we are actually from the escort agency, and this time we are escorting a secret shipment of goods."

"Then where are you going to transport the escort?" Duan Tianyang asked curiously.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Little brother, the escort agency has its own rules. Some things cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

"Really? I'm not well-educated, don't lie to me!" Duan Tianyang said as he leisurely took out something from the depths of his clothes. It was the token of the Hongxing Society. He raised his hand and said calmly, "Look, what is this?"

In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere froze as if frozen, and everyone present showed an expression of disbelief and surprise on their faces.

The crowd of onlookers scattered in an instant like a frightened flock of sheep. The arrogant thugs were even more panicked. They didn't even have time to care about their companions whose feet were trapped, and hurriedly fled the scene.
