As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 937 Hostage

937 Hostage
The alley was very dark, and Jiang Ming could not see the scene inside at all.
He could not help but feel a little suspicious.
“Can we really enter that field by walking in here? Don’t lie to me.”
“We can indeed reach that field,” the baby said with tears in his eyes.” However, the houses here have collapsed and blocked our view. It’s dark here.”
Jiang Ming was about to speak when he saw a sharp light appear in front of him.
That light was obviously the light of a sword.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming quickly became vigilant and then fought with the light in the darkness.
A long sword appeared in his hand, and the sound of the long sword rang out in the air.
The baby trembled in fear and did not dare to make a sound.
The pregnant woman also covered the baby’s mouth, afraid of disturbing the attacker.
At this moment, Jiang Ming heard a rough voice.
“Boss, this person is the new savior. He must have a lot of food on him. If we kidnap him, those people will have to give us half of the food.”
Jiang Ming immediately understood that these people had become thieves because they were extremely hungry. He then shouted, “You don’t have to fight me. You can get food. I’m here to solve your problem.”
“How is that possible?” The boss laughed in the darkness. The previous king also said the same thing, but in the end, he still killed and plundered us, forcing us to become bandits. The old king isn’t much, but the new king is definitely not a good person either.”
Jiang Ming knew that these people couldn’t be reasoned with, so he simply snapped his fingers.
A flame appeared in his palm, illuminating the faces of the bandits.
All of them were thin and weak. Jiang Ming found it hard to imagine how they practiced martial arts on their own.
“Don’t hurt my mother,” the baby said as he hugged the pregnant woman.
The baby’s words also attracted the attention of the bandits.
“How could you do such a thing to a baby?” The boss couldn’t help but say angrily, “And to think that you said you could give us food. You must be lying to us!”
Jiang Ming suddenly was confused. He was a little speechless. “The pregnant woman and the baby are unharmed. How could something have happened? Can’t you be more reasonable?”
“His Majesty didn’t do anything to me,” the baby chimed in. “He just wanted me to bring him to the fields to fix everything.”
“That field is now full of locusts. How can it be fixed? Don’t be fooled by him. He wants to trick you into coming into a remote place and then skin you.”
The boss scared the baby.
The baby panicked. He looked at Jiang Ming in horror and retreated with the pregnant woman.
Jiang Ming suddenly felt strange.
He did not seem to have done anything, right?
“What?” The leader did not allow him to explain further. He sneered and said, “Didn’t His Majesty say that he would give us food?” We’re short on meat now. Why don’t you give us your meat?”
“You will die if you eat human flesh.”
Jiang Ming frowned, realizing that a great battle was about to break out.
Sure enough, before he could finish speaking, the old boss brought his men and rushed toward Jiang Ming.
Unexpectedly, before they could touch Jiang Ming, they were shaken away by a force.
Jiang Ming was a little puzzled. He turned around and found Zhu Asi. He could not help but be surprised. “Zhu Asi, you actually followed me here.”
“I was bored in the house, so I came over,” Zhu Asi said as he waved his hands.
He glared at the old man. “You can’t blame the mistakes of the old king on the new king. His Majesty is a very good person.”
“If he really did something to the baby and the pregnant woman, it wouldn’t be too late for you to attack him. If he’s a good person, wouldn’t you have killed them by mistake?”
“I would rather kill a hundred people than let a thousand people go.”
The boss was stubborn and led his subordinates to charge forward.
Their bodies emitted a purple light.
Zhu Asi was shocked, and his expression was unclear.
“How do you know Zhuyan Palace’s spiritual techniques?”
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this.
He knew that only the people inside the Zhuyan Palace could learn the spiritual techniques. How did these people know?
The boss did not answer Zhu Asi’s question. Instead, he slashed at the two of them.
Jiang Ming grabbed the boss’s long sword with one hand and lifted the boss up with the long sword. The boss had no choice but to give up his weapon and charge at Jiang Ming barehanded.
Jiang Ming did not want to be outdone. He used the boss’s weapon and slashed his body.
A huge crack appeared on the boss’s body. He howled in pain, and his eyes darkened. Then, he laughed out loud.
“I have already sacrificed myself for the Xiaguo Kingdom. This is nothing.”
Jiang Ming wanted to laugh.
What did he mean by sacrificing himself for the Xiaguo Kingdom? What had he done for the Xiaguo Kingdom?
Zhu Asi’s expression turned cold, and he wanted to take the opportunity to escape.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what kind of place the Zhuyan Palace is.”
The boss panicked, but it was too late.
He threw down a ball of spiritual energy, which exploded in the air.
A cloud of smoke blocked Zhu Asi and Jiang Ming, but Zhu Asi grabbed the boss.
“Leave quickly, don’t worry about me,” shouted the boss.
The subordinates were a little hesitant and left.
After the smoke dispersed, only the boss was left.
“It won’t be easy for you to catch me,” the boss said rather than surrender.
As he spoke, he quickly jumped up again. Spiritual energy kept appearing in his hand and he threw it at Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi.
Zhu Asi’s expression changed again and again, and he could not help but let go of his boss’s hand.
Jiang Ming followed closely behind and directly held the boss’s throat.
The boss was lifted up by Jiang Ming, and Jiang Ming glared at him coldly.
“What do you want to do?” The boss’s heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Ming did not have the intention to kill the boss, but he also felt that he was too disobedient. Then, he raised his hand and poured some spiritual energy into the boss’s forehead.
The boss suddenly felt that his entire body seemed to be out of control. Jiang Ming slowly put him down.
“Why did you put him down?” Zhu Asi asked curiously. “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll attack us again?”
“Why don’t you see if he listens to me first?” Jiang Ming smiled with interest.
“How can I listen to you?” the boss snapped aggressively. “You want me to listen to you? No way!”
