Suddenly, a hand holding a dagger stopped in front of Li Tianxiang. Then, Ivan appeared in front of him with a fake smile.
“If you leave now, I, Ivan, won’t make things difficult for you.”
At this moment, half of Ivan’s face, which he was proud of, had been blackened by the explosion just now. His eyebrows and the hair in front of his forehead had turned yellow and curled because of the high temperature. The bird feather on his hat had also turned yellow, and he was no longer as calm as before.
He was slightly shocked at the power of the magic that the man in front of him had displayed, but he had no choice but to stop him. Regardless of whether it was in the past or the present, a creature like a bandit could abandon everything except their dignity.
In front of his underlings, even if he was slightly hesitant, he still had to take action. However, his words this time left him with a way out.
He did not know that this was actually the power of the gas explosion.
Li Tianxiang handed the girl on his back to her sister to take care of. Then, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the narcissistic bandit in front of him, his eyelids slightly drooping.
“Then release these two girls and I’ll leave.”
“I can’t do that.”
Ivan placed the dagger in front of him and blew gently on the blade. There was a whimper, making it obvious how sharp it was.
“In that case, please die.”
Ivan had barely finished speaking when he thrust the dagger in his hand.
From Ivan’s fight with the girl, Li Tianxiang had realized that Ivan’s speed was far beyond his reach. Thus, he had expected that he would be stopped.
“Acceleration.”
Ivan’s expression changed slightly. He felt as if he had stepped on oil, and he could not shift his forward momentum. Li Tianxiang easily twisted his body to dodge as Ivan crashed into the broken wall behind him.
Li Tianxiang had already anticipated this. Thus, from the moment he was about to escape, he secretly used the earth element to add quite a bit of mud and sand into the sewage water.
Then, he used the wind element to completely mix the mud and sand into the sewage water, making the ground extremely smooth and slippery. Meanwhile, Ivan did not expect Li Tianxiang to prepare such a move at all. His foot slipped, making his attack clumsy.
Ivan crawled awkwardly out of the rubble of the collapsed wall. At this moment, he had lost all his poise. He lowered his head. Then, without saying a word, he kicked the wall and charged at Li Tianxiang like an arrow.
“Be careful!”
The girl couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. She covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look.
A long time had passed, but the girl did not hear Ivan’s annoying voice. Little by little, the girl moved her fingers away and peeked through them, only to be stunned.
Li Tianxiang’s muscles bulged like a hill. His arms were like steel, and his hands were like pincers that gripped Ivan’s throat.
While hiding behind the roof, Li Tianxiang also spent 50 gold coins to take a look at his own attributes.
[Name: Li Tianxiang]
[Class: Farm Owner]
[Level: Level 2]
[Basic Attribute Evaluation: B+]
[Basic Combat Efficacy Evaluation: S]
His basic attributes only received a B+ evaluation, but his combat efficacy had reached an evaluation of S+. Then, Li Tianxiang recalled the reward he received from the system.
As expected, this was a mechanism similar to a strengthening buff. After using it, his strength was roughly equivalent to the upper limit of the orc’s strength multiplied by ten. He had essentially gathered the strength of 100 beasts.
The only downside was that he could only use this buff once a day. Furthermore, he could only use it for half an hour each time. After using it, his basic attributes would also decrease by 50% within 12 hours.
However, this skill existed for this very moment. After using it, Li Tianxiang easily saw Ivan’s path towards him, and even saw the traces of the wind element created by the wind passing by him.
Ivan’s movements seemed to move in slow motion in Li Tianxiang’s eyes. Thus, he reached out and caught Ivan’s throat easily and precisely.
At that moment, Ivan’s heart was filled with fear. He kept punching Li Tianxiang’s arm, trying to break free, but he found that he could not move it at all.
He had long lost the heart to fight with Li Tianxiang. However, Li Tianxiang had grabbed his throat. Thus, he couldn’t even beg for mercy now.
Li Tianxiang looked around at the gangsters as he held Ivan. Their expressions changed immediately and they subconsciously took a few steps back. Some of them even pretended to faint and lay on the ground, ignoring the mud and sewage.
“What do you think we should do with him?”
Li Tianxiang turned around and raised Ivan in front of the girl who had just been humiliated.
“This… How about…”
Li Tianxiang saw the hesitation in the girl’s eyes and shook his head.
“It’s impossible for such people to repent. They would waste the food in prison…”
Ivan struggled harder when he heard Li Tianxiang’s words. It was obvious that Li Tianxiang simply wanted to kill him.
“Stop moving!”
Li Tianxiang roared impatiently. Ivan was almost scared to death and obediently stopped moving, allowing Li Tianxiang to carry him.
“What should we do then?”
The girl clearly treated Li Tianxiang as her support and subconsciously relied on him.
Li Tianxiang looked at Ivan with a forced smile and said casually.
“I have a farm that’s always been short of people. If you’d like to come and farm for me, blink.”
Ivan naturally did not know that Li Tianxiang, who had been educated in modern times, could hardly bring himself to kill people and prevent future trouble. When he heard that he could help Li Tianxiang farm, he blinked so hard that Li Tianxiang could not see him blink clearly.
“If that’s the case, do you know the old gnome in the market? Go there alone and tell him that the customer from last time wants to take this labor force away.”
Upon seeing Ivan’s eyes darting around, Li Tianxiang knew that Ivan didn’t have any good intentions. He tightened his grip on Ivan’s throat, and Ivan’s face was filled with horror.
“Don’t think of escaping halfway. Otherwise…”
Ivan didn’t dare to say no. Instead, he kept blinking to show his submission.
“Go back and take care of your lackeys while you’re at it. Is there anyone who is willing to work at my farm? Apart from not having a salary, food and accommodation are provided. Also, you can take a day off every week…”
Ivan was stunned when he heard Li Tianxiang repeat what he had previously said to Sal. Even the girl beside him was stunned.
“What’s wrong? Do you think it’s too bad?”
Li Tianxiang raised his eyebrows. This was the reason why he chose the orcs the last time. Sometimes, humans had too many thoughts and were too meticulous. Thus, their efficiency was even lower than that of the orcs. Other than having better skills, they were really inferior to the orcs in farming.
“No, I think he must think it’s too good.”
The girl looked at Li Tianxiang in surprise. First, he used a spell that caused half of the alley to shake. Then, he suddenly became stronger. And now he was so kind to the slaves.. Who was this man?
