Heavenly Dao Formula

On the third day of the exam, when Xia Fan walked into the hotel lobby, he immediately felt something was wrong.

That is quiet.

There were about a dozen people eating breakfast. Normally, it was very common to inquire about each other's news or make friends, but today, no one took the initiative to speak.

Not only that, but their sitting positions were much further apart, with at least a few steps between each of them, as if they were guarding against something.

If the person being kept away is a disciple of an aristocratic family, he can still understand. But the people sitting in the hall are all ordinary candidates.

Even when he came in, many people focused their eyes on him, and the cold light in their eyes made him frown involuntarily.

What's the situation?

Could it be that my actions yesterday in front of Fei's family have spread throughout Qingshan Town, making me a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of all the examinees?

Not really... If they really had such a "unity", they should have broken through the Fei family's defense line yesterday.

Xia Fan was puzzled, and ordered a steamed steamed bun and a pack of braised beef according to yesterday's practice.

Even if the fox demon said that he would not come again, but... who knows if it will be really fragrant? After all, this theorem applies to any multiverse, and he can never go wrong by preparing in advance.

Even if the other party doesn't come, he can digest it by himself.

After eating the Wotou, Xia Fan planned to go to the back mountain again to see if he could find anything more. Although the morning dew is heavy, there are relatively few mosquitoes. If you walk around the track, you may be able to explore farther than the last time.

After leaving the hotel, he unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a lot fewer people in Qingshan Town today.

In the first two days, you could see candidates everywhere spending money to inquire.

Is it because they don't have enough money, or is the fox demon working too hard at night?

Just as Xia Fan was thinking to himself, there was a burst of loud cheers and fast and chaotic footsteps from the street ahead.

I saw one person rushing out of the alley first, with a panicked expression on his face, and four or five people ran out from behind, all holding wooden swords in their hands.

Obviously, the former is being chased.

"Brother Xia! Hurry, run!"

Coincidentally, the unlucky guy being chased turned out to be an acquaintance——Wei Wushuang.

Before he had time to dodge, the group behind had already noticed him. "Two is just two, we have a lot of people, so surround them!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them had surpassed Wei Wushuang, blocking Xia Fan's retreat in one step.

Now he didn't even have the chance to pretend to see the scenery.

Looking at the five people who were surrounded and tightened, Xia Fan pulled out his wooden sword with a headache, "Wait, who can tell me what's going on?"

"Be careful...he, they are robbing candidates!" Wei Wushuang, who was out of breath, finally replied, "I, I was tricked out by them using the excuse of exchanging new news, and I didn't find out that something was wrong when I got there—— "

"Tell you to hurry up, you have to let others see your flaws." The leading man in the yellow shirt glared at his accomplice, then turned his head and smiled at Xia Fan, "Actually, we don't want to make it too stiff, as long as you hand over the money and the medicine bag , I can let you go."

"Have you run out of money?"

"There's still a little left," the other party didn't mean to hide, "but it won't last until the end of the scholar's exam. The place where we can dig the spirit fire is now occupied by the family, and we can only wait for the opportunity in the next few days."

"If I give you the money, what should I do?" Xia Fan pointed to himself.

"You?" The four of them looked at each other with funny expressions on their faces, "Brother, how about coming back in three years? This time, let me wait."

"Even if we don't know each other?"

"Hey, don't pretend to be stupid. What does this have to do with recognition?" The short man who was scolded by the man in the yellow shirt took a step forward, "Don't you understand at this point? The examiner obviously didn't intend to let everyone They all pass the test smoothly, and whoever has the bigger fist can stay in Qingshan Town longer! Our brothers can only gather so many people, and eat some shrimps left by the disciples of the aristocratic family."

"That's right, it's impossible for people like you to pass the scholar's exam." The man in the yellow shirt said unabashedly, "Even if you can hide today, you can't hide tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The current Qingshan Town is no longer a safe place. , There are people like us everywhere, and even as far as I know, there are people who plan to attack the family. The so-called meeting is fate, and it is better to leave it to us than to take advantage of others."

Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the lobby before.

So that's the case... He suddenly realized, is this the reason why the atmosphere is not right. I am afraid that quite a few people have noticed that the reference candidates who are still in Qingshan Town are gradually changing from candidates to hunters or prey. Not to mention inquiring about news, even normal communication has become a risky thing. That's why everyone sat far apart and didn't say a word.

As for the gaze he cast when he walked into the lobby, I'm afraid that there was both defense and scrutiny--to see whether he could become an ideal prey.

"Brother, why are you talking nonsense with him?" Another "horse-faced man" with a long face impatiently waved the wooden sword in his hand. Wearing clothes is our kindness."

"Brother, I remember this guy!" Suddenly someone said, "Yesterday he was the one who played tricks on everyone in front of Fei Nian! If it wasn't for him, the people behind wouldn't have any intention of retreating. This guy probably belongs to the Fei family , can't let him go easily!"

"You heard that too?" The man in the yellow shirt said with a look of embarrassment, "My words are still valid. If you hand over the money and medicine kit, I will let you go. But it will be hard to say later, don't make it difficult for me .”

"Hey, how many can you deal with?" Xia Fan lowered his voice and glanced at Wei Wushuang.

"I, I don't know... I've never fought with anyone..." The latter replied tremblingly, completely without the naturalness when dealing with him at the beginning.

It's not that he didn't doubt whether this encounter was a true coincidence, but judging from Wei Wushuang's reaction, it would be too realistic if it was acted out.

"Forget it, if someone hits you later, you should cover your face, understand?"

"Just cover your face?"

"That's right, as long as your face is fine, no one will know that you have been beaten violently."

"Huh?" Wei Wushuang couldn't help being taken aback.

And Xia Fan has already taken out the medicine bag from his arms.

"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to pay for it yourself!" The man in the yellow shirt understood everything when he saw the medicine bag, "Brothers, give it to me!"

"Idiot, at such a close distance, you still want to prepare alchemy?" The horse-faced man took the lead, screaming strangely and pounced forward with his sword raised, "You want to die—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Fan threw the medicine bag towards his face.

The package was scattered, and the dust in the sky collided with him

"This is...cough cough...what kind of technique?"

His answer was a blow to the head.

With a muffled sound, the horse-faced man was directly knocked to the ground, and there was no further movement.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, Xia Fan held his breath and aimed at the opponent's neck, waist, crotch and other vital parts, ensuring that he would lose his combat effectiveness with one blow.

This is also the first principle of street fights that master cheap taught him - the first to win, and the second to suffer. Affected by entraining energy, the alchemist's reaction and speed already surpassed the average person's. Whether he calculated with his heart or not, he was considered invincible in all the long streets in the past ten years. Coupled with the "talent" of being open-minded and often able to draw inferences from one example, even the master praised him as a natural fit for the world.

Compared to Xia Fan, who had experienced combat experience, the others were obviously inferior, or they didn't pay attention to the contents of the bag at all, but all of them stared wide-eyed, wanting to see what medicinal materials he took out.

This undoubtedly strengthens the power of spreading ashes.

"Brother, this, this does not seem to be alchemy, but ordinary ash!"

"Cough cough, I don't care what it is, give it to me...cough cough...fuck that guy to death!"

Although all candidates were only allowed to carry one medicine bag before entering Qingshan Town, there was no prohibition on changing the contents of the medicine bag or making new medicine bags. Naturally, Xia Fan wouldn't just bring a bag of dust to blind his eyes. The second principle of fighting is to stay still, move like thunder, and never stop fighting until the enemy is completely subdued.

After the second bag of ashes was scattered, there was no one standing around him.

Yellow Shirt Man is no exception.

He was hit in the neck with a clean slash and passed out on the spot.

From the shot to the end, it took a total of ten seconds.

Wei Wushuang implemented his suggestion very well. The moment the fight started, he crouched on the ground with his head in his arms. Apart from being covered in dust, he basically didn't take a few blows.

"Get up, it's over," Xia Fan said.

Wei Wushuang then carefully let go and stood up. After looking around in surprise for a week, he looked at Xia Fan in disbelief, "You... are so powerful?"

"It depends on the opponent, and these people... probably are doing 'robbing' for the first time." Xia Fan leaned over and grabbed one of them on his shoulders, "You also carry one on your back, we have to hurry up, lest they wake up again."

"Wake up again?" Wei Wushuang's face changed, "Brother Xia, you don't mean to make them..."

"What are you thinking?" Xia Fan rolled his eyes at him. "Murdering candidates will immediately disqualify them. I just want to throw them over to the bridge. Of course, after a thorough search."

Having money is not the trigger for failing the exam. If this group of people wake up and would rather live in the wild for revenge, it will be very troublesome. It's better to send them across the bridge directly. As long as they cross the boundary, they will not be able to step into the examination room again, which can be regarded as a once and for all method.

"So that's how it is." Wei Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief, "By the way... when I was brought to the end of the alley by them, I saw two people lying there. They should be the candidates who were cheated before. Do you want to return the money? them……"

"No need." Xia Fan interrupted, "They will naturally understand what happened when they wake up, and they won't be able to find us. It might be better for them to quit now—if they can't even handle this situation, consider On the contrary, the sergeant has harmed them."

Wei Wushuang lowered his head slightly, and the look in his eyes was complicated for a while.

"You should also think about whether it would be better to leave early." He didn't shy away from the other party's feelings, but said bluntly, "It's only the third day, and the influence of money and silver has reached this point. I'm afraid the conflict will intensify in the future. One thing that person who lied to you is right, Qingshan Town is no longer a safe place."

Thanks to BreakupXD for rewarding the leader! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
