Chapter 415: Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death
Zhou Dian was stunned for a moment; he didn't expect Tang Rao to say such things. Oh my god, isn't this awesome?
The materials you gave me weren't that great to begin with. If a common Artifact Refiner were to refine them, they would at most reach the second grade.
And I refined them to the fourth grade, and you're calling it so-so?
"Here's the deal, seeing as you have some skills, changing two days to two years, I won't quibble with you about it," Tang Rao said nonchalantly.
Face? What is face? I don't understand.
Coming across such a weird talent, of course, you'd have to recruit him shamelessly.
"Two years? Are you kidding me? That's impossible!" Zhou Dian shook his head continuously; two years, what kind of notion is that?
Better dead than unfree.
For someone who walks the Jianghu and takes pleasure in deceiving people, two years is just terrifying.
"Alright then, I'll just kill you," Tang Rao said casually.
"God, can't we think of some other way? How about I call my friend over to give you fifty Spirit Stones right now, what do you think?" Zhou Dian said.
"I'm not in the mood, nope! Either you stay with me for two years, or I just kill you right now, your choice," Tang Rao didn't waste words with Zhou Dian.
Oh young man, you brought this upon yourself, don't blame me.
As the saying goes, talent is most important, I am also doing this so your talents can be utilized.
"At most one month." Zhou Dian compromised a step, for him, one month was already the limit, two years was just too much.
"Two years."
"One month and one day."
"Two years."
"One month and two days!"
"Forget it, I'll kill you instead!"
"One month and three days!! That's my limit!!"
…
"He's over there!"
"Damn trash, daring to trick my refining furnace, die!"
"Come out and surrender!"
While the two were haggling, several shouts followed one after another, and soon a group of people madly rushed toward them.
Zhou Dian immediately put away the refining furnace in front of him, his expression somewhat ugly.
"Damn it, these shameless jerks, they clearly lost to me and now they're saying I cheated them, where is their effing shame!" Zhou Dian cursed, then prepared to flee for his life.
Damn it, this group is not simple, if I get caught, it's definitely death.
"God, this is a strife among the Jianghu, I'll take my leave first," Zhou Dian said to Tang Rao.
Of course, Tang Rao wasn't going to let Zhou Dian leave, where would I find you if you ran?
"God, please have mercy!"
"What's the point in running? Let's fight them!" Tang Rao said grinning.
"Fight my ass, they have Mahayana Realm cultivators!" Zhou Dian yelled.
"You damn thing, can't run away now, right? Hand over your stuff, and I will leave you a whole corpse!" The one who rushed over was an early Mahayana Realm cultivator, big and strong, standing at a mighty two meters tall.
He even had a horn on his head, probably a hybrid of human and other races.
"Forget it, I'm screwed." Zhou Dian looked speechless, never thought these people could chase him all the way to Giant Merchant Star, what a bunch of lunatics.
Murder is forbidden on Giant Merchant Star, but if they take him away, the custodians of Giant Merchant Star can't do much.
"How about I help you out?" Tang Rao moved over to Zhou Dian and chuckled.
"Why do I feel like you're up to no good?"
"Pretty much, I changed two years to ten years, I'll make sure you live a good life," Tang Rao said.
"Holy shit!" Zhou Dian swore, you must be joking with ten years.
"If you don't agree, it's okay, anyway, selling this fourth-grade treasure can still get a hundred Spirit Stones, not a loss," Tang Rao said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
Zhou Dian looked like he just ate shit, damn, I'm totally screwed now... With tigers in front and wolves behind, none of these guys mean well.
"One year!" Zhou Dian gritted his teeth, looking like this was his limit.
"Ten years." Tang Rao raised a finger, who cares about one year, if I don't knock you now, when will I?
I'm actually quite thankful for this group that came along, godsend assist indeed.
"Damn it, two years then, any more and just let me die."
"Then suit yourself…" Tang Rao spread his hands sincerely, then prepared to leave.
Soon, Tang Rao walked out of the crowd, his figure gradually disappearing.
"Kid, do I need to use force or will you come with us voluntarily?" The big guy said to Zhou Dian with a menacing voice, his face full of ill intentions.
The other few people also pressed closer, their smiles somewhat terrifying.
"Damn it, ten years then!" Zhou Dian shouted, it's unavoidable, though it's said that it's better to die than lose freedom, but... if you're dead, there's no freedom to speak of, so to keep my freedom, I must continue to live.
It's just ten years!
"Bang bang bang!" In the next moment, the seven or eight people surrounding Zhou Dian all flew out.
As for Tang Rao, he was already standing quietly beside Zhou Dian, his face full of smiles.
"Come on, swear the oath of Heavenly Dao, you know the drill," Tang Rao said to Zhou Dian.
Zhou Dian had no choice but to make the Heavenly Dao oath.
But speaking of which, Tang Xiaohei is really fierce, even a Cultivator of the Mahayana Realm couldn't match him.
Could this guy already be at the late or peak stage of Mahayana? That's just awesome.
"Who are you to interfere? This person stole our treasures, please don't make it difficult for us!" the early Mahayana big guy said to Tang Rao.
"Don't you have ears? He just made a Heavenly Dao oath to follow me for ten years, which makes him my little brother. If my little brother has trouble, shouldn't I care? I don't care where you come from, what kind of people you are, just stay away if you know what's good for you. If I get upset, I might just blow up your planet too!" Tang Rao intimidated.
The onlookers all went "tsk tsk tsk."
This guy is really arrogant, blowing up a planet? Like that's an easy thing to do?
The big guy had a ferocious expression; he hadn't expected Zhou Dian to latch onto such a powerful thigh, things were getting complicated.
The opponent was clearly not easy to handle; just a moment ago, he hadn't even seen the move before he was blasted away.
Luckily, that person didn't hit too hard, otherwise, he would be dead by now.
"Who dares to fight on Giant Merchant Star? Don't you know the rules?" At that moment, guards from Giant Merchant Star arrived.
In Giant Merchant Star, flying or killing is prohibited, but fighting still happens often, and naturally, it's up to these guards to handle such fights.
Seeing that there were no casualties, the guards also relaxed.
"No matter what grudges you have, leave now. If I find you fighting again, you'll be permanently expelled from Giant Merchant Star," the head guard said proudly.
Giant Merchant Star, always so cool and proud!
"Got it, we'll leave now!" Zhou Dian immediately said and then dragged Tang Rao away.
He really feared that Tang Xiaohei would even provoke the guards and offend Giant Merchant Star, then they'd really be doomed.
"God Xiao Hei, I really owe you big this time, well, until we meet again," Zhou Dian said, bowing to Tang Rao as they left the trouble spot.
"Aren't you afraid of being obliterated by the Heavenly Dao?" Tang Rao stopped Zhou Dian.
"Not free, rather die, I thought about it, and I decided to die, to accept the destruction by Heavenly Dao!" Zhou Dian exclaimed righteously for his ideals.
"Don't tell me this nonsense, make the Heavenly Dao oath again, I know your real name isn't Zhou Dian," Tang Rao scoffed, don't think I wouldn't know you used a fake name, I've dealt with this trick plenty of times.
