Chapter 2756
Just as the two passed through a desolate area, they were suddenly immobilized by the presence of three formidable auras.
In that instant, Liu Ruyan felt the tension in the air and, visibly flustered, quickly reached for her weapon!
At that moment, three masked figures stepped forward, blocking Kai and Liu Ruyan’s path!
“This road is mine, and this tree was planted by me. If you wish to pass, you’ll need to pay a toll for the road…”
One of the masked men bellowed!
“Robbers?” Kai inquired, a relaxed smile on his face as he regarded the trio.
Liu Ruyan squinted at the masked men and said, “The Three Weird Thieves?”
The moment Liu Ruyan spoke, the three thieves froze before bursting into laughter. “We didn’t realize our reputation was so widespread that someone would recognize us!”
“Indeed, we are the Three Monstrous Thieves. If you don’t want trouble, you’d better hand over your money,” one of them declared.
“Aren’t you three supposed to be in prison?” Liu Ruyan asked, her disbelief evident.
“Hmph, the ones who caught us haven’t even been born yet! What kind of shackles or cages could ever hold us?”
The leader of the thieves scoffed, and he wasn’t exaggerating; the three had skills that allowed them to escape from any bind or trap.
“We have urgent matters to attend to, so get lost now if you want to live!”
Kai regarded the three comical figures before him and spoke coldly.
“You’re insane!” the eldest thief shot back, casting a wary glance at Kai. “You’re going to pay at least one hundred and fifty spirit coins. If you short us even a penny, we’ll make you regret it!”
“And then we’ll have some fun with your girlfriend. She’s quite a catch, the first beauty we’ve seen in ages!”
“How dare you! Do you even know who I am?” Liu Ruyan exclaimed angrily, feeling disrespected by the thieves.
“We don’t care who you are; it’s your money or your life…”
The leader of the Three Weird Thieves asserted.
“You guys are just asking for death…”
Liu Ruyan shot back. “This is the territory of the Feitian Sect. Aren’t you afraid of getting apprehended?”
“Hahaha! The Flying Heaven Clan has caught us many times, but we always escape without a scratch. Their dungeons can’t hold us!”
“Enough with the chatter! Hand over the money now!”
The boss of the Three Monsters was growing impatient.
“Hmph, come and take it if you dare!”
Liu Ruyan retorted, the blade of her longsword suddenly aimed at the trio!
“You’re underestimating yourselves…”
The leader of the Three Monstrous Thieves let out a cold snort, and in the blink of an eye, the three of them vanished!
Just as Liu Ruyan stood there in shock, they reappeared right behind her, reaching out with hands poised to grab!
“Do you think you can just ignore me?”
Seeing the three thieves targeting Liu Ruyan, Kai reacted swiftly, waving his hand as a beam of light enveloped the trio!
Within the light, countless runes began to flicker and spin, forming a cage that confined the three thieves inside!
Liu Ruyan turned around just in time to see the Three Monstrous Thieves behind her and felt a chill of sweat run down her back!
She hadn’t expected them to be so fast!
“Kid, you think you can trap us with your formation? That’s laughable. You’ve clearly forgotten the name of the Three Masters of Monstrous Thieves!”
“In this world, there’s no formation we can’t shatter, no chains we can’t break!”
As the leader of the Three Monstrous Thieves declared this, the three of them raised their palms in unison, unleashing a purple light that struck Kai’s formation cage!
As the formation cage trembled, the bodies of the three thieves began to shimmer and fade until they completely vanished!
