Chapter 26 Encountering Robbery
Sure enough, a short while later, five people came up to the two of them.
Judging from their attire, these five people should all be Soul Masters, including four men and one woman. The man in the lead is older, probably over 50 years old, while the other three men are in their early 40s and the woman is in her early 30s. She looks younger than the others.
The older man was rather thin, but looked very capable, with a shrewd glint in his eyes. The three middle-aged men were dressed somewhat similarly; one was extremely tall, exceeding two meters, while the other two had more ordinary-looking faces, but their muscular physiques suggested considerable strength. The last woman was dressed provocatively, appearing quite alluring; her figure and looks were exceptional, no less than those of celebrities from my previous life.
Yang Podi couldn't help but complain to himself: This is my first time coming to the Soul Beast Forest with my grandfather, and we've actually encountered a robbery?
The five seemed to have surrounded Yang Wudi. The old man turned around and spoke up: "Brother, we are the Blood Mantis Mercenary Group. May I ask what kind of soul beast you two are hunting in Sunset Forest? If you need anything, we can help you."
Yang Wudi seemed not to even glance at the group: "No need, we can manage on our own."
"Brother, the five of us are just after money. Hand over all your money, and we guarantee we'll hunt down a satisfactory soul beast for you. With one Soul King and four Soul Masters among us, hunting soul beasts is a piece of cake."
After speaking, all five revealed their Martial Souls and Soul Rings. As expected, there was one Soul King and four Soul Masters. The old man's Martial Soul was a praying mantis, the three middle-aged men's were a bear, a rat, and a curved blade respectively, and the only woman's was a snake. However, only the old man had two yellow and three purple Soul Rings. The other four had one white, one yellow, and two purple Soul Rings.
Yang Wudi sneered, "I already said I don't need it. If you want to make money, go find someone else, don't come to me."
The old man seemed completely unsurprised and continued, "It's not a question of whether you want to do this or not, brother; it's that we absolutely must make this deal."
"Oh, so you're saying you're trying to force a sale on me now?"
"No, that's not it. I guess you're pretty strong, but with a child in tow, you're probably no match for the five of us."
Yang Wudi seemed to ignore the threats from the five people opposite him, and instead turned to Yang Podi and said, "Podi, I'm going to teach you a lesson now. Watch carefully."
As soon as Yang Wudi finished speaking, a Soul-Breaking Spear appeared in his hand, and his soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—shone brightly. He then thrust the spear directly at the old man in the lead.
Upon seeing Yang Wudi's spirit rings, the opposing team was somewhat stunned.
But in that instant, the Soul-Shattering Spear had already reached the old man opposite him. The old man's purple soul rings lit up, and he hurriedly used his fifth soul skill, his two huge mantis legs slashing at Yang Wudi's attack like scythes.
The old man's attack was as if it had no effect; the entire mantis was pierced by the Soul-Breaking Spear, and even the old man's body was pierced.
Seeing this, the other four realized they had met their match and wanted to turn around and leave.
With a single thrust of his Soul-Shattering Spear, Yang Wudi wounded one of the middle-aged men. Then, with a swift flick of the spear, he sent another middle-aged man flying.
The remaining two were terrified and fled in panic. But Yang Wudi wasn't about to let them get away. He leaped into the air and gave chase to one of the middle-aged men. Ignoring the man's soul skills, the Soul-Breaking Spear pierced through another middle-aged man's body, while the last woman had already run dozens of meters away.
Yang Wudi took the Soul-Breaking Spear and shot it out like a javelin. The Soul-Breaking Spear was as fast as lightning and pinned the last woman to the ground.
In that instant, Yang Wudi wiped out all five opponents, leaving them no chance to escape. Yang Podi watched as his grandfather effortlessly slaughtered five people, offering no resistance whatsoever, without his grandfather even using his soul skills.
The deaths of the five men opposite seemed extremely tragic. Three of them were pierced through the body by the Soul-Shattering Spear, another middle-aged man was blown up, and the only middle-aged man who was not killed instantly was also hit by the spear and lay on the ground on the verge of death, obviously not going to survive.
Yang Wudi didn't care about anything else, but walked up to him and shot him, quickly ending his life.
At this moment, all five opponents were killed, and their deaths were extremely gruesome, with blood flowing everywhere and even some shattered internal organs on the ground.
This was the first time Yang Podi had ever witnessed murder in his past and present lives, and the first time he had ever seen such a bloody scene. He couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
Yang Wudi ignored the expression on his grandson's face and instead said, "Podi, go and examine the five bodies and retrieve all the valuables from them."
Seeing this, Yang Podi suppressed the urge to vomit and began to walk towards the five corpses.
The first body they went to was that of the elderly man in the lead. His body had been pierced through by the Soul-Breaking Spear, with a huge wound on his chest from which blood was still gushing out, staining his entire body red.
After rummaging through the blood for a while, he finally found a soul tool. He then searched the other four people, and it took him quite a while to search all five of them.
When Yang Podi returned to Yang Wudi's side after the search was completed, he was covered in blood. Yang Podi couldn't help but vomit, as if he wanted to throw up everything he had eaten in the past few days.
Yang Wudi ignored the situation and instead took out a large bag of water and a new set of clothes from his soul tool: "Wash off the blood and change into new clothes. We're leaving here soon."
Seeing this, Yang Podi suppressed the trembling in his hands, took the water from his grandfather's hands, carefully washed his body, and changed into a new set of clothes.
After changing his clothes, Yang Wudi quickly left with his grandson, as if everything was normal.
Yang Podi felt that since encountering these five enemies, his grandfather seemed to have changed completely. He no longer had the kind demeanor he once had; instead, he had become very stern and murderous.
Even her attitude towards her grandson changed drastically. It was as if she were facing a stranger, not her grandson.
About half an hour later, the two arrived at a new open space, and Yang Wudi set up the tent again.
The two sat down together again. At this moment, Yang Wudi suddenly spoke up: "Po Di, tell me, from what just happened until now, what questions do you have? What else have you discovered?"
Clearly, Yang Wudi wanted to use this opportunity to teach his grandson a lesson.
