The two exchanged glances. The rugged man took another bite of the roasted meat and said, "Do you have Red Leaf Blood Ginseng?"
Red Leaf Blood Ginseng was the main ingredient for refining Pulse Nurturing Pills. Although Pulse Nurturing Pills were merely healing elixirs, their value was extremely high.
Some martial artists who suffered meridian damage during combat needed them to repair their meridians.
Without repairing their meridians, these martial artists might have to end their martial arts careers.
Qin Han Chu had indeed obtained a century-old Red Leaf Blood Ginseng.
Opening his special forces backpack, Qin Han Chu took out the century-old Red Leaf Blood Ginseng. "This Red Leaf Blood Ginseng is century-old. It's equal in value to your two Purple Heavenly Dragon Flowers."
"Deal," the man handed the Purple Heavenly Dragon Flowers to Qin Han Chu, who then passed the Red Leaf Blood Ginseng to the other.
After storing the Purple Heavenly Dragon Flowers in his combat backpack, Qin Han Chu asked, "Do you have Golden Crow Head?"
"No, we don't."
Qin Han Chu nodded and didn't inquire further.
Putting away the Red Leaf Blood Ginseng, the rugged man said, "Are you going to go deeper?"
"Yes," Qin Han Chu nodded.
"The deeper you go, the stronger the fierce beasts will be. You're very dangerous alone," the rugged man said while eating meat. "Do you want to join us? It will be safer if the three of us move together."
"No, I prefer to travel alone." Qin Han Chu wrapped the cut roasted meat and put it into his combat backpack. This meat was enough for him to eat for many days.
The middle-aged man beside the rugged man asked, "Are you from Black Tower?"
"Are you from the Martial Arts Administration?" Qin Han Chu retorted.
"Which faction doesn't matter. In this underground world, we are all humans," the middle-aged man chuckled.
Qin Han Chu slung his backpack over his shoulder, gripping his battle knife, and stood up. "I'm going to rest over there. You two should also rest early."
As Qin Han Chu turned to leave, the rugged man's eyes suddenly turned cold.
With a clang, the sound of a battle knife being drawn echoed from behind Qin Han Chu, and then the rugged man's battle knife stabbed towards Qin Han Chu's back.
Qin Han Chu had been guarding against both of them. The moment they drew their knives, Qin Han Chu's blade was also drawn.
Clang clang…
The battle knives of the three collided several times in an instant. Qin Han Chu retreated three steps, using the force of the collision.
"I treated you to pork legs, and this is how you repay me?" Qin Han Chu chuckled lightly.
The other middle-aged man sneered, "We'll give you a quick end later. Consider it a thank you gift for the pork legs."
"With the strength of you two, you probably can't hurt me," Qin Han Chu said with a calm smile, holding his battle knife.
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!" The rugged man attacked again, swinging his battle knife and charging at Qin Han Chu.
The other middle-aged man was not idle either; he cooperated with his companion to attack Qin Han Chu.
If Qin Han Chu had been willing to cooperate with them, the two would have spared his life for the time being.
But since Qin Han Chu did not wish to exert himself for them, they could only kill him.
When Qin Han Chu opened his combat backpack, they saw that it contained a lot of precious medicinal materials.
As long as they killed Qin Han Chu, these precious medicinal materials would belong to them.
Inside the cave, Qin Han Chu and the other two engaged in a fierce battle.
The sounds of metal clashing were incessant, and sparks even flew from the collision of battle knives.
Despite facing the encirclement and attack of the two, Qin Han Chu was not flustered.
Qin Han Chu's attacks and defenses were perfect. Even with the two of them cooperating, they did not gain any advantage.
"You are not in the early stage of Grandmaster!"
The two finally realized that Qin Han Chu had hidden his strength. Qin Han Chu's combat ability was even stronger than their mid-stage Grandmaster strength.
They found it hard to believe their eyes. Qin Han Chu had reached the late stage of Grandmaster at such a young age?
This cultivation speed was too fast!
"If you surrender now, you can still keep your life. Otherwise, I will have to kill you," Qin Han Chu threatened while blocking the fierce attacks of the two.
"Even if you are in the late stage of Grandmaster, you will die facing our combined attack!" the rugged man shouted coldly.
"Attack with all your might and kill him!"
The coordination between these two was perfect. With the strength they displayed, they indeed had the ability to kill a late-stage Grandmaster.
Unfortunately, their opponent was Qin Han Chu, a former martial arts ancestor.
"Fine, since you are seeking death, I shall fulfill your wish!"
As Qin Han Chu finished speaking, he suddenly vanished from their sight.
"He..."
Before the rugged man could finish his exclamation, a battle knife pierced his heart.
"How can this be?"
The death of the rugged man struck the other middle-aged man dumb with fear, turning his face ashen.
How did Qin Han Chu do it?
They were in the mid-stage of Grandmaster, so how could they not track Qin Han Chu's movements?
Most importantly, Qin Han Chu had so easily pierced through their Qi barrier!
The rugged man didn't even have a chance to dodge.
Although Qin Han Chu was only in the late stage of Grandmaster, the cultivation technique he practiced far surpassed ordinary Grandmaster techniques.
Even as a Grandmaster, the quality of Qin Han Chu's Qi could be comparable to the strength of a Martial King.
Coupled with his unique footwork, his combat power could crush peak Grandmasters.
Qin Han Chu paid no attention to the middle-aged man's shock and charged forward with his blade.
Seeing Qin Han Chu charging at him, the middle-aged man roared and attacked.
In the next moment, Qin Han Chu's battle knife pierced his throat!
As Qin Han Chu drew his blade, a mist of blood erupted!
Bang!
The middle-aged man fell to the ground powerlessly.
They thought they were the hunters, but they didn't know that the real hunter was Qin Han Chu.
If they had rested and then left, Qin Han Chu would not have killed them.
But since they harbored ill intentions, they could only be made to understand the consequences of provoking Qin Han Chu.
After collecting the medicinal materials from the two men's backpacks, Qin Han Chu then came to the campfire and sat down cross-legged.
The next morning, the dark clouds finally dispersed. Qin Han Chu threw the three corpses out of the cave before continuing his journey.
The reason he threw the corpses out was that he really liked this cave.
He might spend the night here again on his return journey, and if he didn't throw the corpses out, the cave would be filled with the stench of decay.
Just as the two middle-aged men had said, as the exploration went deeper, the surrounding fierce beasts also became stronger.
One day, half a month later, Qin Han Chu encountered a giant ape six meters tall.
The giant ape's strength and defense were comparable to peak Grandmasters.
Fortunately, Qin Han Chu's combat power was very strong, so he killed the giant ape relatively easily.
If it were any other peak Grandmaster, they probably wouldn't have been a match for the giant ape.
While on the road, Qin Han Chu found many more medicinal materials, and his backpack became bulging.
With these medicinal materials, Qin Han Chu could refine many elixirs upon his return, and with the help of these elixirs, he could easily become a Martial King.
He wondered if the Tower Master of Black Tower possessed Martial King realm strength.
Roar…
Another half a month passed, and a terrifying beast roar echoed.
Qin Han Chu tightly gripped his battle knife, his eyes filled with surprise. "This fierce beast's roar actually made me feel fear. Its strength has probably surpassed peak Grandmaster."
