The Strongest Outcast

It's impossible to withstand so many of those idiots' hammers and water guns!

"Yes! I admit we can't possibly defeat someone of the level of the Ten Elders! But how could a nobody like him manage to make us look so pathetic!"

What gives him the right?!

Seeing Yuan Tao's unwilling expression, Shen Chong didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't understand why Liu Xiaojiang was so strong, nor did he understand what kind of strange ability Liu Xiaojiang possessed.

nowadays,

He even began to doubt whether he had contacted the wrong person. Could it be that the previous Lianmengang zombie incident had nothing to do with Liu Xiaojiang?

Could it be that there are other descendants of the corpse-driving clan?

The situation at Lianmen Port is just too damn bizarre...

at this time,

"Benefactor Yuan, what has made you so angry?"

Two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly emerged from the forest. The one who spoke was the one whose build was almost the same as Han Dan's, and whose clothes and appearance made him look like a monk.

The short figure following behind the monk was a woman who looked to be around middle age, dressed like a noblewoman from a drama. This combination seemed very strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Humph!"

Yuan Tao looked at the newcomers with a displeased expression and said, "Didn't you receive the sect leader's message? Why did you have to come out at this time of year?"

"Hahaha... Benefactor Yuan, please calm down. Dou Mei and I discovered something interesting, which caused us to be delayed." The big monk looked very kind with a smile.

Upon hearing this,

Yuan Tao glanced at the middle-aged woman behind the monk. "Something interesting? What is it? Tell us so we can all have a good laugh?"

"It's nothing, we just discovered some rather interesting individuals in a factory, but the attempt failed and is not worth mentioning. However, Benefactor Yuan and Benefactor Shen..."

What happened to you?

The head monk smiled and shook his head, not mentioning the previous amusing incidents, but instead showing great curiosity about the disheveled appearance of Yuan Tao and the others.

"Heh, what else could it be? It's nothing more than some things the acting sect leader instructed." Yuan Tao smiled, his eyes gleaming, showing no respect whatsoever for the so-called sect leader.

"Did something happen?" the head monk asked.

Shen Chong stood to the side, pushed up his glasses, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth without saying a word.

Yuan Tao seemed to recall her previous encounter. Although she was still furious, she didn't answer directly. Instead, she suddenly asked, "Gao Ning, what did you say..."

Why are there so many geniuses in this world?

"...Benefactor Yuan, what do you mean by this?" Gao Ning asked, puzzled.

"Forget it, one really has to admit that one gets old." Yuan Tao turned to look at Han Dan, who was sticking to him like glue, and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Where do we go next? Should we follow orders and head straight to Longhu Mountain?"

"Shall we go find some fun ourselves first?"

Gao Ning glanced at Yuan Tao and Shen Chong, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal for now. There's still some time before the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony at Longhu Mountain. We might as well move around more in the circle of extraordinary people."

What if someone else is willing to join our operation on Longhu Mountain?

Yuan Tao nodded, then suddenly turned to Shen Chong, "Shen Chong, where did that girl go? Did she run into some young man again and become unable to walk? What about the operation on Longhu Mountain?"

We can't do without her.

Shen Chong shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, I heard it's an operation in Longhu Mountain. She'll probably be even more enthusiastic than us now..."

She is contacting people in Dongxiangzhuang.

"Oh ho, that's quite surprising." Yuan Tao smiled with satisfaction. "That's good. But it's a pity for Dongxiang Manor, which has always prided itself on being a prestigious and upright sect. After all, that old bastard Hu Lin has no ability to resist."

Hmph hmph hmph…

Shen Chong shrugged noncommittally and said, "Should we go to Dongxiang Village to meet Xia He first? Or..."

Before Shen Chong could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something and looked with the other four towards a certain direction outside the forest, where they discovered a figure that surprised them greatly.

far away,

Following the scent left behind by Yuan Tao and the others, Liu Xiaojiang chased them all the way to the vicinity of the forest on the outskirts of Lianmen Port. At this moment, he stood outside the forest with a dark expression, observing the two strangers who had met up with Yuan Tao and the others.

"You little brat! How did you catch up with me? Humph! You really have some nerve!"

Yuan Tao bristled the moment he saw Liu Xiaojiang. It was unclear whether it was because of the deep impression he had left from before, or because he felt that with Gao Ning and the other two, their combined strength was enough to contend with Liu Xiaojiang. In any case...

This time, he felt that Liu Xiaojiang was walking into a trap.

Upon hearing this,

Liu Xiaojiang ignored Yuan Tao and silently walked towards the crowd, standing alone in front of the three members of the Quanxing Four Madmen, as well as the two weapon refiners, Yuan Tao and Han Dan.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. You have provoked me, yet you are trying to get rid of me on your own..."

Things aren't that easy.

By now,

Liu Xiaojiang also realized that he had indeed acted impulsively. However, considering his previous repressed behavior, his tolerance towards Shen Chong and Yuan Tao when they first met, and their repeated provocations, he had been deceived time and time again.

He was completely consumed by rage.

Imagine,

A person is leisurely lying at home when a few flies enter the house. You initially don't want to pay attention to them, but they keep buzzing around your ear. After successfully annoying you, they try to escape.

Who would let such an ungrateful fly get away with it?

Liu Xiaojiang no longer had any intention of capturing the other party; he only had one thought in his mind.

That means we should teach these people a lesson they won't forget!

They'll never dare to cause me trouble again!

Chapter 19 Mind and Nature

"Esteemed benefactor, is there some misunderstanding between you and Benefactor Yuan?"

Upon hearing the conversation between Yuan Tao and Liu Xiaojiang, Gao Ning almost instantly grasped the general situation, but he did not rush to take action and continued to look at Liu Xiaojiang with a smile.

"If it is just a misunderstanding, I hope that, for the sake of this humble monk, this benefactor will spare Benefactor Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaojiang looked at the monk opposite him and suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. He even felt a strange sense of unease.

“You bald monk, this has nothing to do with you. If you want to leave, I won't stop you; if you want to stay…”

You will bear the consequences.

As soon as this word comes out,

Although Yuan Tao and the others understood that this might be Gao Ning's doing, they still turned to look at Gao Ning, their faces showing amusement.

“You speak recklessly, benefactor.”

Gao Ning's smile suddenly froze, and his eyes opened a crack. "You are only one person, but I have five. I hope you can remain rational so as not to regret it later."

“Sir, he’s right. It’s just a small matter right now. What in the world could make you care so much?” Dou Mei said with a smile.

at the same time,

Liu Xiaojiang finally realized that something was wrong with him. He found that when he was facing the monk and the middle-aged woman, he would always feel several emotions that were completely different from usual.

Arrogance, anger, sadness, depression... yet he could never remain calm.

He had indeed felt a bit angry at Yuan Tao for teasing him several times, wanting to teach her a lesson, but he wasn't completely trapped in that emotion.

nowadays,

Nothing has happened yet that should cause any emotional distress.

He found that his emotions were not only becoming stronger, but also shifting back and forth between several negative emotions. Moreover, with each shift in negative emotions, each negative emotion was developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"This is... your method?"

Liu Xiaojiang struggled to remain rational and calm, and looked up at the two opposite him with considerable surprise. "To be able to influence the opponent's emotions, is this also a method used by the supernatural beings? You guys..."

That's really tricky.

Within a few breaths of realizing they had been infected,

He already understood the other party's intention: to weaken him by using this method of controlling emotions, and then have Yuan Tao and Shen Chong come over to stall for time as much as possible.

While trying to remain rational, he was also dealing with five people who might swarm him. He estimated that he wouldn't even be able to use half of his strength, and as time went on...

the other side,

Gao Ning looked at Liu Xiaojiang, who had begun to suppress his emotions, and smiled in surprise, "Benefactor, your wisdom is truly profound. You actually perceived the methods of Benefactor Dou and me so quickly without knowing us."

This humble monk admires you.

"Hmph! You little brat! You got cocky, didn't you? You fell for it, didn't you?" Yuan Tao laughed sinisterly.

"If that's the case, then please give up resisting, sir. It's always a sad thing to hurt others." Dou Mei looked at Liu Xiaojiang with tender eyes, even opening her arms without any defenses, as if she wanted him to fall into her arms.

See here,

Shen Chong glanced at Liu Xiaojiang's state, then at the attitudes of the others beside him, and shook his head with a deep sense of helplessness.

"You two are truly a perfect match, your hearts are clouded and your will is extinguished." Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaojiang felt a heavy heart, and his gaze towards Gao Ning and Dou Mei became wary.

Great!

Liu Xiaojiang thought that with his physical strength, he wouldn't have to fear anything in this world, except for the airplanes and cannons described online. But he never expected...

Surprisingly, there are people like Gao Ning and Dou Mei among the extraordinary individuals.

Yuan Tao's 'Pulao' bead only affects a person's spirit. As long as the soul is strong enough and there is some defense, it is not difficult to withstand it. After all, his soul strength had already reached an unknown level during the trials in that boundless darkness.

but,

Gao Ning and Dou Mei have different abilities to influence the will of others!

Willpower and emotions are not related to the strength of the soul, nor are they things that can be strengthened through cultivation. Instead, they are closely related to a person's desires and experiences.

These two things happen to be Liu Xiaojiang's weaknesses!

After all, he had already lost most of his memories in that boundless darkness. Although he learned some common sense through computer tools after coming to this world, he was still a blank slate.

He had almost no experience, yet he possessed a strong desire to survive in this world and to become a true human being, and this…
