Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 518 - 362: Can You Really Not See?_3

The four subordinates stood closely around the middle-aged man, their focus completely on him, not paying too much attention to me.

They didn’t seem like thugs, more like bodyguards.

One of them constantly had a hand in his pocket, as if ready to manipulate some kind of mechanism.

If I chose to run away, would I fall into their trap?

What if I didn’t run?

The thought had barely surfaced when a strong sense of danger flooded my mind.

This was a warning from the Seek Fortune and Avoid Disaster Skill. The opponents were not weak, and charging at them would pose a great risk.

As my thoughts raced, I heard the middle-aged man’s warning again, "I believe you’ve been misled by others, and I even believe you’re not involved in this. Come with me to the Defense Agency. Everything can be clarified there. I assure you..."

Before he could finish, Li Banfeng’s figure suddenly blurred. He had used Short Step.

The four subordinates were experienced and reacted extremely fast.

Noticing Li Banfeng’s use of Short Step, and realizing he was a Traveling Cultivator, two of them took positions in front of the middle-aged man and another behind him.

They watched Li Banfeng while simultaneously blocking his line of sight to the middle-aged man, guarding against the Passing Glance.

They knew the Fifth Layer Technique of a Traveling Cultivator!

Another subordinate manipulated the device in his pocket, and a Light Halo appeared around them.

Boundary!

Li Banfeng recognized it!

Meng Yuchun had used a similar boundary to battle the Mountain-Uprooting Master, who crashed into it and nearly lost his life.

It was fortunate Li Banfeng had not chosen to run away. Otherwise, he would have crashed into the Boundary, and if not dead, he would have been gravely injured.

The four guards watched Li Banfeng, adopting a strategy of countering action with inaction, waiting to see what he would do.

These four were very thorough in their response. Indeed, to confront them would mean taking on a significant risk.

But Li Banfeng charged at the middle-aged man anyway.

It was an insane move.

The four subordinates certainly had high cultivation levels, two at the Seventh Layer and two at the Sixth Layer.

In the instant Li Banfeng charged at them, they adjusted their positions, giving him almost no chance to attack.

BOOM!

A loud explosion erupted, and a cloud of dust rose from the ground.

The four subordinates, along with the middle-aged man, were flipped by the powerful surge of air. The impact of Trample Over Thousands of Rivers filled the four with indescribable fear.

What level of cultivation was this person?

Could it be a Seventh Layer Technique from a Traveling Cultivator?

All four subordinates were injured, but they immediately got up and surrounded Li Banfeng without daring to strike.

Li Banfeng now had the middle-aged man by the hair.

The middle-aged man’s face was covered in blood, two front teeth gone, and he spoke unclearly, "Young man, don’t be impulsive. I admire your courage and your character. You haven’t killed me now, proving you still want to negotiate. I can give you a chance to do so, but this is your last chance. Release me immediately. I can overlook what just happened!"

"You misunderstand. I didn’t kill you because I have something to ask you." Li Banfeng pointed to the Showing Foreign Films vehicle and asked the middle-aged man again, "These five children, can you really not see them?"

The middle-aged man answered, "Why are you fixating on this? What does it matter if I can’t see? How is that important? You’ve hurt me, which is a disaster for you. One chance, that’s my leniency..."

"If you can’t see, then what good are your eyes to you?" Li Banfeng lifted his hand and gouged out the middle-aged man’s eyes.
