Seventy years old is the age to take risks!

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the two men were clearly taken aback. They were dressed in the same clothes as the refugees, yet they were still recognized by the other party.

Could this old man also be a black market thug?

This is bad.

The two of them were doing this on the side; if they were caught, they'd be in deep trouble!

impossible!

That old man must be faking it!

One of them, hot-tempered and bold, stepped forward and said, "Old man, stop trying to scare me with your ghostly tricks. You're unlucky to have run into us two brothers today!"

He was about to take action after saying that.

Seeing this, the real refugees around were terrified and scattered in all directions, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire.

They were hungry, but they were even more afraid of dying!

In a secluded corner where no one was watching, Ma Shan had retreated a hundred meters away at some point, his eyes gleaming, and shouted:

"Mr. Jiang, stall them for time, I'm going to report this to the authorities right now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away, as if he had made up his mind.

"???"

Jiang Yuan turned his head and was immediately stunned.

Good heavens, you've already sold me out?

Report to the authorities?

What's the point of reporting this to the authorities? By the time they arrive, my body will be cold!

The black market and the government are irreconcilable enemies.

If you shout like that, won't the other party be even more determined to get rid of you?

At this moment, Jiang Yuan once again experienced what it meant to be treacherous and cold-hearted.

"call!"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the two fierce-looking men in front of him, his expression as calm as still water:

"Young man, you don't know your own limitations."

"Come, come, let this old man see what you're capable of!"

These words immediately stunned the two men.

isn't it?

Is this old man really a master?

Rumor has it that the most ordinary-looking old man is often the one you shouldn't mess with.

Could it be that they were really that unlucky to run into this?

But there's clearly no true energy fluctuation on this old man's body.

wrong!

The two suddenly realized that although they were not martial artists, they had heard that highly skilled martial artists could conceal their true energy and appear no different from ordinary people on a daily basis.

Could it be...?

hiss!

Realizing this, the two broke out in a cold sweat and involuntarily took a half step back, their voices trembling slightly.

"Old...senior, who exactly are you?"

Jiang Yuan remained silent, appearing disdainful of engaging in conversation.

This made the two even more alarmed, and they frantically wondered whether Jiang Yuan was a real master or just pretending.

The air froze for a few seconds.

The burly man was the first to react, clasping his hands in a fist and saying, "Senior... Senior, we two had no intention of offending you, we just wanted to ask for some food."

"Since you are so kind as to offer your guidance, we would be so bold as to ask for your advice."

Although he was wary, he didn't completely believe it.

That's a very clever way of putting it.

Although he was polite on the surface, his real purpose was to test Jiang Yuan. If the other party was just an ordinary old man, he would definitely grind the old guy to dust to vent his hatred.

But if he's truly a master...

If you change your wording to "exchange ideas," you can avoid offending the other party to this extent.

I'm a genius!

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly; these two guys were really not easy to fool.

"Let's get started."

"If you can defeat me, what's wrong with taking all this porridge?"

Jiang Yuan's expression remained indifferent, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all, and he even beckoned to the other party.

"Senior, please forgive me!"

"Mountain-Pulling Fist!"

The burly man got into position, his eyes narrowed, and then he rushed towards Jiang Xuan with small, quick steps, letting out a roar and throwing a punch at the other man's vital point.

Although he spoke politely, he showed no mercy when he struck.

With his physical strength at the seventh level of Body Tempering, this punch would have a force of at least several hundred kilograms, which no ordinary old man could withstand.

Even among ordinary soldiers, they would be considered elite.

However, Jiang Yuan neither dodged nor avoided, but stood straight in place, and then lightly struck out with his palm.

Bang!

No fancy tricks, just the old man pushing the cart!

Click!

With a dull thud, Jiang Yuan's palm collided with the burly man's fist. The latter felt as if he had punched the city wall, and it was completely unshakable!

Forces act in pairs.

Such a powerful punch not only failed to knock Jiang Yuan back, but also forced the burly man back several steps, his expression one of utter shock.

Master!

This old man is definitely a master.

Without any fancy moves or even any particular technique, he simply blocked it with a light, effortless palm strike.

In terms of physical strength alone, he is at least at the ninth level of Body Tempering.

An old man, at the ninth level of Body Tempering?

No, the other party must be a martial artist with considerable skill!

Thinking of this, the burly man broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you for your mercy, senior. We were blind and didn't recognize your greatness. We have offended you. Please forgive us!"

The words fell.

The entire refugee alley was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.

The refugees, who had been panicked just moments before, were now dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

How could this frail old man defeat an eight-foot-tall strong man?

This scene was truly breathtaking.

"So...so strong."

"That old gentleman is amazing!"

"Immovable as a mountain, this is truly the demeanor of a martial arts master!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Yuan slowly withdrew his palm, feeling the still surging blood and qi within his body, and was slightly startled.

Damn, my hand hurts so much!

He wasn't holding back; he simply hadn't seen the opponent's punches clearly and instinctively raised his hand to block.

There is a world of difference between someone who has practiced martial arts and someone who hasn't.

Although Jiang Yuan's physical body was stronger than that of the burly man, he did not know any martial arts at all.

If they continue fighting, he will undoubtedly lose!

What kind of grandmaster demeanor is this?

Of course, no one could have imagined that an old man with such a strong physique could be associated with someone who didn't know martial arts.

Seeing that the other party remained silent, the burly man looked up at Jiang Yuan, gritted his teeth, and turned to his companion beside him, whispering:

"Take everything out and present it as a tribute to our elders!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

The man, as if waking from a dream, pulled out a money pouch from his person with a pained expression and respectfully presented it to Jiang Xuan, his face full of obsequiousness:

"Senior, we left in a hurry and only brought this little bit with us. We'd like to offer you some money for wine."

"Another day...another day if you would do me the honor of visiting our White Tiger Hall, I will certainly take good care of you, sir."

That being said, there are at least fifty or sixty taels in this bag.

There are also a few low-grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones are the common currency for martial artists and an essential item for their cultivation. They are also indispensable for condensing true qi.

A low-grade spirit stone is almost equivalent to fifty or sixty taels of silver, which is quite valuable.

Jiang Yuanshun took the bag, his face as calm as an ancient still pool, and nodded, saying:

"Hmm, I knew you guys wouldn't be honest."

"Fortunately, I've come today to distribute porridge, out of compassion and kindness; otherwise, you would all be doomed!"

"If I were a hundred or two hundred years younger, I'd storm the White Tiger Hall and demand an explanation!"

hiss! !

Has this old man actually lived for hundreds of years?

What a terrifying old relic!

The most terrifying thing in the world is an old man. The master was right!

The burly man, still shaken, slapped himself hard across the face, bowing and scraping, "Senior is right. I was blind and ignorant. I deserve to die!"

"Um."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Get lost!"

"Thank you so much, senior!"

The two were overjoyed, as if they had been granted a pardon, and quickly left with their hands clasped in greeting.

In his heart, he cursed Ma Shan's ancestors for eighteen generations a thousand times.

Damn it, Ma Shan, how dare you cheat me!

This old man was clearly a master, yet he tricked us two brothers into coming to cause him trouble, and we almost lost our lives here.

This business is a complete money pit!

A gentleman will not leave this grudge unavenged!

Thinking this through, the burly man suddenly turned around and whispered to Jiang Yuan:

"Senior, although this matter is a misunderstanding, you must be wary of the treacherous people around you plotting against you."

After saying this, he bowed again and left.

The farce has come to an end.

Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the heavy money bag in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips:

"Old ginger is spicier!"
