After a long time, Li Rui finally came to his senses and was shocked to discover that all of his Source Qi and Meridians had been completely destroyed, making him just like an ordinary person. However, strangely enough, he could still sense the cultivation level of others.
Above his head, there were several numbers that, at first glance, seemed to indicate the time he had left.
This...
Li Rui never imagined that half of his time would pass in the blink of an eye without him gaining anything, and his clothes were in tatters, resembling those of a beggar.
He wondered what he should do next. A question arose in his mind: what would happen if the time ran out and he had gained nothing?
“Then just die,” a deep voice within him abruptly told him.
Li Rui was unwilling to give up so easily; he had to be more ruthless.
He then spotted his second target: a steamed bun in a broken bowl. If he could take it away, would it help...?
In this situation, it was strange that this child appeared very eerie. There was no sign of energy flowing through their meridians, but those peculiar eyes made Li Rui feel a hint of fear.
Moreover, the child's eyes were vacant, as if everything they looked at was as clear as water.
“Forget it! Life is more important.” Li Rui rushed forward with the same speed as before.
This time, he had already planned his escape route and would definitely not look back. However, when he reached the city gate, he froze.
He felt extremely frustrated, wondering what these beggars were all about. Just ordinary people—how could they intercept him in such a short amount of time?
Li Rui understood that he was bound to face a beating now. Stealing from others was truly not a pleasant experience; even if he left behind a substitute, it still...
Suddenly, the situation became chaotic as around fifty beggars gathered and surrounded Li Rui! Each one of them was fierce, yet they hesitated to make a move.
The air turned tense until the sound of footsteps approached. At that moment, Li Rui frowned slightly, observing the current situation!
The beggars parted to create a "sunshine avenue"! The one walking towards Li Rui was the same beggar from before, still wearing an indifferent expression.
"Throw him out; he shall never enter the city again."
Upon hearing this, Li Rui was stunned; he had never anticipated such a turn of events. In the blink of an eye, he felt as if he were being tossed aside like a meat bun!
In the following moments, Li Rui attempted to blend into the city countless times, but the guards seemed utterly clueless, as if they were all on a single track. This beggar was like their father; when he spoke, they didn’t dare to utter a word.
Li Rui then observed around the city walls and seemed to spot a dog hole. But could he really crawl through there? And would it even be possible?
During this time, Li Rui felt utterly defeated; he had never experienced such humiliation. Moreover, the other party didn’t even give him a chance to explain. He smiled bitterly, realizing that there was no excuse for openly seizing someone else's belongings—any justification would merely be a cover-up.
"Forget it."
With that, Li Rui made a sudden dive into the city. This time, however, he felt frustrated; when he looked up, it was that same beggar again. The beggar smiled at him, which startled him greatly.
"Come back!" Just as Li Rui intended to retreat, little did he know that the beggar spoke.
His voice sounded somewhat like...
Li Rui felt as if he had been struck by some kind of spell, frozen in place. Retreating was not an option; even moving felt like a luxury.
"He's the one who sent you here, right? To snatch something from a beggar and then report back, so you can leave Zangbu Gorge, correct?"
Li Rui was bewildered, wondering if he was talking to a child. How could his gaze resemble that of an Old Man? Or was this child actually an Old Monster wrapped in human skin? That would be terrifying!
The latter could only nod quietly, "Yes!" But the beggar didn't take Li Rui seriously at all. He casually tapped Li Rui on the head three times before leaving, leaving Li Rui alone to wander in place!
As the latter looked at the time above his head, he was completely stunned. What was going on with the time here? Just a moment ago it was only half the time, and now half had already passed. It seemed impossible to "rob" now; he truly didn't know what to do. The beggar must have had some reason for letting Li Rui in...
Suddenly, Li Rui recalled those three taps. Did they have some meaning? Were they meant to make him...
The latter racked his brain but couldn't figure out what those three taps were supposed to indicate. Then he remembered a story from earlier—was this beggar trying to lead him to his location by the third watch?
Time passed quickly, not giving him any chance to think! As it approached the third watch, Li Rui saw that there were still two hours left! Once those two hours passed, he truly didn't know what would happen.
"I need to find that beggar quickly; otherwise, I'll be in trouble!"
As an ordinary person, running through the streets like this was something Li Rui had experienced before, but now it was no use to rush! He could only run desperately, searching for the presence of the beggar.
Not even a trace of a beggar could be seen on the street; it was as if they had evaporated from existence.
"Could they be gathered at some point?" Li Rui murmured.
Then Li Rui rushed toward all the glowing points he could see. Time was passing faster and faster; there was only one hour left!
In that previous timeframe, Li Rui had dashed past countless doorways but still hadn't spotted any sign of the beggars, which left him feeling utterly frustrated.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and Li Rui began to slow down, feeling lost in the vastness around him.
"Is this how it ends? I have never given up on myself," Li Rui murmured.
He then continued to run wildly, during which he started to feel that his hands and feet were not his own. The only thing on his mind was to find that beggar.
Finally, he spotted a broken house ahead, brightly lit inside and filled with loud cheers!
At that moment, Li Rui doubted if this was the place, but frustratingly, there were only a few seconds left!
The latter did not want to miss any possible opportunity and suddenly dashed into the house!
As he pushed open the door, he saw the figure of the beggar. The latter smiled at Li Rui and nodded in satisfaction!
At the same time, the time above Li Rui's head froze at its original point and no longer moved!
Li Rui gasped for air, never having imagined such a thing could happen. It was as if he had seen new hope. When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer in the same place!
