Chapter 371: Chapter 277: Quicksand River, Bronze Divine Hall
’I’m actually getting robbed?’
Wang Yi found it amusing. He smiled faintly and said, "I don’t have any money, just my life. But you can have my Cyan Blade Sword!"
As he spoke, Wang Yi unslung the Cyan Blade Sword from his back and tossed it to the ground.
With a loud THUD, the sword slammed into the ground, leaving a deep indentation.
The bandit leader staggered back in shock. "What in the world is that?" he exclaimed.
He stepped forward to pick up the Cyan Blade Sword, but he strained until his face turned beet red without being able to lift it.
A few of the other bandits came over to help, but they couldn’t budge the Cyan Blade Sword an inch either.
Wang Yi beckoned with his hand. With a sharp CLANG, the Cyan Blade Sword let out a clear ringing sound and flew back onto his back, startling the bandits so much they all jumped away.
"Still want to rob me?"
Wang Yi asked.
The bandit leader nodded, then frantically shook his head. "Sir, we were just joking with you. You didn’t take it seriously, did you?"
"As a matter of fact, I did."
The bandit leader immediately dropped to his knees, a fawning look on his face. "Spare our lives, sir! It’s all this world’s fault. If we could eat our fill every day, who would choose to be a bandit? This is our first time doing this, we haven’t even had a single score yet! Please, do us a kindness and spare us!"
’This bandit leader is pretty sharp,’ Wang Yi thought. ’I haven’t even made a real move, and he already knows I’m not to be trifled with. Kneeling and begging for mercy so decisively... he’s a smart one.’
’But a smart man like this isn’t necessarily a good man. His living isn’t necessarily a good thing, and his dying isn’t necessarily a bad thing.’
Wang Yi said, "I can spare you from death, but you won’t escape punishment. Each of you leave an ear behind, then scram!"
"The hell? Who do you think you are? Are you out of your mind?"
"Boss, let’s get him!"
"You want us to leave our ears behind with just one sentence? Who do you think you are, the Poison Dragon Abbot?"
"There are so many of us and only one of you. Can’t you read the situation?"
"Get him!"
With loud cries, several bandits snatched up their long sabers and charged at Wang Yi.
Clearly, these guys were no amateurs. One look was enough to tell they were violent thugs who loved a good fight. They had likely done their fair share of evil deeds in the past.
With a mere thought, Wang Yi clenched his fists and unleashed his Military Boxing Divine Technique. He moved like a battle-hardened combat expert, striking out with heavy blows. In just a few moments, he had knocked all the attacking bandits to the ground.
Seeing how ferocious Wang Yi was, the bandits in the back all retreated. The leader, ever decisive, immediately turned tail and ran.
"You think you can get away?"
Wang Yi chuckled. He made a gun shape with his right hand, and with a flick of his will, a Starlight Flying Sword shot from his fingertip. The Starlight Flying Sword was as thin as a silk thread yet incomparably sharp, and it instantly severed the right legs of the fleeing men!
’The life of a Mortal is as fragile as paper. Whether they live or die depends on a single whim of the powerful—just as I can decide their fate as I please!’
After this brief reflection, Wang Yi clasped his hands behind his back, and two Great Sage Avatars emerged from his body.
"Break one of their arms and one of their legs. That should keep them from causing any more trouble."
Wang Yi murmured this command, then turned and walked away without giving the Mortals another thought. Agonized screams immediately erupted behind him.
A moment later, the two Great Sage Avatars caught up to him. One of them was holding a Purple Blind Box.
’Hm? They found a Purple Blind Box on that group of bandits?’
Wang Yi was pleasantly surprised. The Fire Dragon Trading Company was buying Chaos Blind Boxes at a high price, and there was even a dedicated collection point at the Black Stone Mountain Market, but they had seen little success. He never expected to find a Purple Blind Box on a group of bandits.
’It seems there are still Chaos Blind Boxes scattered among the populace. I should probably set the acquisition price a little higher...’
After a moment’s thought, Wang Yi quickly opened the Purple Blind Box.

Wang Yi chose the Enhanced +5 "Construction Drawings for the Quicksand River." The item materialized in his hand, and flashes of golden light pulsed across it five times before it finally settled into the form of a purple-gold Scroll.

Name: Construction Drawings for the Quicksand River +5
Description: Use to construct a Quicksand River in your territory. The river is a special, ring-shaped moat where quicksand surges endlessly, like waves upon the tide.
Quicksand River Details: After being Enhanced, the river is miles wide, a kilometer deep, and thousands of miles long. The quicksand within circulates at a rate of one million tons per second. Sand Demons undergo Natural Growth within the river; possessing four limbs, they flow along with the quicksand, latching onto any target that enters the water and dragging them down into the depths.
Abilities: [River of Quicksand], [Quicksand Submergence], [Sand Demon Stronghold]
Note: Once an unnamed river, it was repeatedly Enhanced by a mysterious power. Its channel was widened, its bed deepened, and its water was replaced by quicksand. It is driven by an unknown force to flow for eternity. After becoming home to monsters, it earned a fearsome reputation.

"Huh, this Quicksand River seems pretty powerful!"
’Another powerful structure,’ Wang Yi thought. ’But this Quicksand River has been Enhanced a bit too much. It’s thousands of miles long, and my current territory isn’t large enough to hold it, so I can’t use the Construction Drawings yet.’
After putting the drawings away, Wang Yi looked at his Luck Blind Box. It had already advanced to Seven-Color Quality and had gained a special ability called Random Enhancement.
This special ability would apply a one-time Random Enhancement to whatever item came out of the box. The effect was single-use and would disappear if the Luck Blind Box’s quality was ever demoted.
Wang Yi bowed ten times toward the Seven-Colored Luck Blind Box. "Oh, great Seven-Colored one, show me what you’ve got! Give me an absolutely incredible treasure!"
With that, Wang Yi opened the Luck Blind Box. Accompanied by the chime of a system notification, seven options appeared before him.
