Chapter Sixty Leaving Western Xia

  Hong Qigong wanted to speak again, but Wu Ming immediately stopped him and said in a low voice: "Old brother, you're already injured like this, don't say anything else. I'll handle this matter."

  "That's right, isn't it? You're trying to get back the ancestral ultimate technique of your Dugu family. Alright, I'll give it to you!" As he spoke, Wu Ming reached into his clothes and rummaged around.

  Dugu Baoyan's eyes, filled with endless majesty, suddenly narrowed slowly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was coldly smiling.

  "Get out of here, you big idiot!"

  At that moment, Wu Ming had already entered the martial arts space and took out the two poisonous golden needle flame bombs exchanged for the two, directly wanting to smash them at Du Guo Ba Tian.

  Dugu Baotian had been paying attention to Wu Ming's movements, and just by looking at his hand shape, he didn't even think about taking the book. In his heart, he already knew that Wu Ming was going to make a desperate counterattack. However, what could be done? Wasn't it just a hidden weapon?

  Wu Ming flicked out two black marbles, and Dugu Bai Tian let out a cold laugh, directly slapping his palm forward to try and send the two marbles flying. To him, these simple hidden weapons were completely useless.

  "Run!" Wu Ming didn't think much and directly carried Hong Qi Gong as they retreated backwards.

  "Hum..."

  Two poisonous fog gold needle flame bombs suddenly exploded, although the shrapnel flew out, but could not cause any harm to Du Guo Ba Tian. However, a wave of black poisonous fog was emitted immediately, and hundreds of fine needles hidden inside shot out like cow hair.

  This was Wu Ming's last trump card. Although he knew he couldn't hurt Du Guo Ba Tian, as long as he could block him for a moment, there would be hope for escape. However, this time, it also implicated his elder brother. Wu Ming felt extremely uneasy in his heart. Perhaps Hong Qi Gong was just acting out of righteousness, but to Wu Ming, that was a heavy emotional burden that made him unable to run away.

  He sprinted all the way, Wu Ming didn't know if Du Guo Ba Tian had caught up or not, he couldn't care about that anymore, and just kept running forward with his head down.

  It was unknown how long they had run, but the sky had already darkened. Wu Ming saw a broken temple in front of him and immediately walked in. It wasn't that he didn't want to run anymore, but rather that the injured Hong Qi Gong seemed to be on his last legs. The bumpy ride had almost shattered his skeleton, and seeing that there were no more pursuers behind them, he hastily asked Wu Ming to find a place for him to rest before doing anything else.

  They exchanged two three-product Easy Change Pills, one person taking one pill each. The appearance of the two people changed instantly, and after adjusting their clothes a bit, they could no longer be recognized as their original selves. Even if Du Guo Ba Tian were to chase after them, he might not necessarily be able to recognize them. Wu Ming lit a fire and caught two wild chickens, which the two of them roasted over the flames and ate, barely managing to get by.

  Wu Ming then exchanged a few more healing medicines for Hong Qigong to take, and they spent the night without incident. Before he knew it, another day had passed.

  Looking at the rising sun, Wu Ming felt that all of this was so beautiful again. One night hadn't caught up, it seemed that after all, he had finally shaken off the pursuit of the Dugu family.

  "It seems that Dugu Baoyan is afraid of being entangled by Pang Ben, and we are lucky to have escaped with our lives. Haha, today is another good day, comfortable!"

  Hong Qigong stretched his waist, and after a night of practicing internal energy to heal his wounds, combined with the few pellets of medicine provided by Wu Ming, his injuries were almost fully recovered. However, after sitting for a whole night, his bones felt stiff.

  "Little brother, I think you should lay low for a while. Dugu Bai Tian won't let things go just like that. Hmm, either head north or northwest, going to Western Xia is also an option. Although it's chaotic there, it's relatively safer compared to the south. If you head south, it's hard to say what will happen. One thing for sure is that both Hu Long Manor and the Eastern Depot are waiting for you, and Dugu Bai Tian might also be heading south."

  Wu Ming nodded, the terrifying and unparalleled strength of Dugu Ba Tian was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart. If he could give himself five years, or even three years, with that exchange system, it wouldn't be possible to surpass Dugu Ba Tian, but at least he would have enough capital to save his life. However, now was really too early.

  Three years, perhaps time is really short, after all this is not playing a game, playing games for three years, in the game it has been eight or ten years already, there is a time difference. Plus, the game is completely data-driven, while here is a real-world, a world that makes people play with their lives.

  In the game, Dugu Baotian has always been low-key. Countless players, almost no one knows that Dugu Baotian once fought with Pang Bao in the Fist of Kings. Also, not many people know that there was another powerful Fist of Kings in Liao State that was destroyed by Pang Bao at the beginning of the game. So, it's not that you can understand everything just because you've played the game. This is a real world, and things will still happen whether you know about them or not.

  But for Wu Ming, three years was equivalent to six years. Six years may be just a short period of time for a martial artist who has been practicing for over a hundred years, but for Wu Ming, it had a huge impact. With the exchange system, he could exchange for elixirs, earn money to exchange for high-level hidden weapons, and also had the Nine Yang True Classic. In six years' time, even if he didn't reach the Great Completion stage, he should at least reach the Small Completion stage. By then, he wouldn't be just a minor character like now.

  Looking at the sun rising slowly, I thought to myself, am I not the same?

  But whether it will fall prematurely or become the hottest sun at noon, no one can see clearly what the future holds!

  ......

  ......

  Three days later, a small town on the Western Xia border.

  Hong Qigong smiled and said, "I've been out for so long, I should also hurry back. The Beggar Clan has many things to attend to, and as the deputy leader, it's not good for me to be traveling around all the time. Today, I'll send you off up to here, and from now on, you'll have to rely on yourself. If you encounter any trouble, you can send a message to the Beggar Clan, and once I know about it, I will definitely come."

  Wu Ming opened his mouth, wanting to retain him, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything. A warm current flowed through his body, and he could only hold back tears. He also knew that Hong Qigong wouldn't be able to follow him for the rest of his life, it was an impossible thing. And he himself couldn't follow him to the Beggar Gang, that would only drag them down.

  Dugu's overbearing strength made Wu Ming sometimes dare not think clearly about whether the Dragon Subduing Master, Qiao Feng, would really be his opponent.

  It's hard to say, but neither Wu Ming nor Hong Qigong wants to involve the Beggars' Sect in their personal feud. As a sworn brother, Hong Qigong can unhesitatingly help Wu Ming resist strong enemies, but he will not drag the Beggars' Sect into this feud. And Wu Ming already has a guilty conscience and cannot do such a thing.

  Wu Ming, who was an orphan in both his past and present lives, had tasted all the bitterness and hardship. He cherished this fraternal bond even more deeply.
