In a pavilion on the east side of Enlightenment Pavilion, six men dressed in short robes sat around a stone table. There were candles lit on the table, and a large bowl with a hole in it was placed in the middle. Several dice were spinning in the bowl.
"This is so boring. Not only am I tired, but I also lost half a month's worth of money. Next time, don't call me when there's a night duty. I don't know what's gotten into the boss to arrange so many people to be on duty at the same time. Could it be that there are still people in the territory of Bright Peace Town who dare to come to our door and ask for a beating? "
A tall man with a pockmarked face yawned and complained. Although the other people at the table were smiling, they all looked dispirited. It was obvious that they were exhausted after a night of crazy gambling. In addition, it was the time when the sky was about to brighten. It was the time when people were the easiest to get tired. Therefore, even though the dice were still spinning, none of them were interested in playing. They yawned continuously, and two of them had even fallen asleep on the table.
"I'm not playing anymore! I just want to have a good sleep now. No one is allowed to call me until it's dark. "
The pockmarked face man said as he stood up. He stretched out his hands and was about to stretch. But suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind him. The pockmarked face man was also alert, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. But, before he could react, a pale and thin hand that was only skin and bones wrapped around his neck like a ghost. Then, this ghost claw grabbed his throat and gently twisted it.
"Crack."
There was a crisp sound, and the pockmarked face man's neck was twisted and broken before he could make any sound. This unforeseen event happened too quickly. The rest of the people in the pavilion were still in a daze and dozing off. Only when the ghost claw loosened and the pockmarked face man's body went limp on the ground did two people realize that something was wrong. But in the next moment, a swishing sound was heard, and a few cold beams of light shot towards the two men. The two men fell to the ground, and each of them had a bone-piercing nail nailed into the center of their foreheads.
In the blink of an eye, three people successively fell to the ground. This time, other than the two who were asleep, there was only one person left in the pavilion. This person naturally realized that the situation was not right. In his panic, he was about to cry out involuntarily, but then he felt his vision blur. A figure appeared in front of him. When he saw that the person was a white-haired old man, a pair of ghostly claws had already grabbed his Adam's apple. Immediately after, the five fingers closed, and amidst the sound of bones breaking, this person could no longer make a sound.
To be able to kill four people so easily without a sound, this kind of skill was definitely not something a Soothing Pulse martial artist could have. The old man who had attacked was naturally Li Yunyang.
"Crack crack."
Li Yunyang did not show the slightest bit of mercy. After he finished off the two sleeping men, he turned around to take a look and saw that Wang Yan and the other two, with Xia He at the lead, had already stealthily approached. When the three of them entered the pavilion, Li Yunyang said solemnly, "Are you ready? Once we start fighting, there will be no time for distractions. In this battle, it's either you die or I die. Even I, Li Yunyang, do not want to leave this place alive. "
This was the first time Li Yunyang had said such resolute words. Although he was old friends with the Gongsun Clan, there was no need for him to risk his life to avenge the Gongsun Clan. Wang Yan was puzzled and asked, "Senior, do you have the will to die? Or do you want to seek life in death? "
"What's the difference? Kang Jianmin killed my son and raped my daughter-in-law. This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable. If he doesn't die, how can I, an old man, live on? "
As he spoke, Li Yunyang's eyes revealed a strong hatred. Only now did Wang Yan and the other two realize that Li Yunyang had such a deep hatred for Kang Jianmin. No wonder he was willing to be ordered around by the Gongsun Sanniang. A thought flashed through Wang Yan's mind. He immediately said, "Junior will fight to the death to avenge senior. I will not let Wang Mocheng interfere."
Li Yunyang nodded and did not say anything. Xia He and Gao Li's expressions changed. However, Xia He's eyes quickly revealed a determined look. He was a player after all. Even if he failed the mission, he would only die once and lose a level. Since Li Yunyang and Wang Yan dared to fight, he had no reason not to. As for Gao Li, he was a little distracted. His eyes turned and looked to the north from time to time.
"Let's go."
It seemed that Li Yunyang's voice was a little shaky because revenge was imminent. However, he was a master of the Nurturing Embryo Stage after all. After suppressing his emotions, he turned around and walked along the lotus bridge outside the pavilion toward the Qiming Tower. Wang Yan and the other two quickly followed.
Although the Qiming Tower was only a two-story building, it was built according to the shape of an octagonal tower. Therefore, it occupied a lot of space. To the north of the tower was a bamboo forest, to the south was a large garden, to the west was a front yard, and to the east was a lotus pond. In the middle of the pond was a pavilion. Because of this distribution, the forces stationed outside the Qiming Tower were divided into four groups. Each group was more than a hundred meters away from each other.
The plan made by Wang Yan and the others was very simple. It was to find a direction to break through, gather the superior forces, and seize the opportunity!
"Bang!"
A loud explosion was heard, followed by splinters of wood flying. It was Li Yunyang, who walked out of the pavilion, who was the first to break the window and enter. He had already investigated and found out that the person who stayed in the bedroom on the east side of the first floor was Li Heiniu, the third of the Four Great Guardian Deities. Li Yunyang wanted to use this person's life to open up his path to revenge.
"Which thief is it?!"
However, just as Li Yunyang broke the window, a shout came from inside. It turned out that Li Heiniu was not asleep. He had been sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating his inner force. When he heard the noise outside the window, he wanted to react immediately. But Li Yunyang's speed was too fast. He broke the window and entered the room. Then, with a tap of his foot, his body flew across the air like a dragon. Before Li Heiniu's shout died down, his pair of ghostly claws had already reached Li Heiniu.
However, Li Heiniu was not someone the small fries stationed outside could compare to. In the face of danger, he rolled backward and barely avoided Li Yunyang's ghostly claws. Li Heiniu did not expect that there was more than one person attacking him. Therefore, he only heard a ripping sound and saw the edge of a blade cut through the curtains on the bed, heading straight for him.
At the critical moment, Li Heiniu, who was unable to dodge due to the limited space on the bed, raised his hand. A 'ding' was heard. He was wearing a pair of iron wristbands on his wrist, which he used to block the blade. But in the next moment, a figure descended from the sky, and a three-foot sword fell straight down like a waterfall, aiming straight for the top of his head.
This Li Heiniu was also a ruthless person. He felt that he had fallen into a dead end, so he actually grabbed the long saber that had been blocked. At the same time, he stomped on the ground with both feet, and his entire body leaned to the side. His other hand struck out through the curtains as he shouted, "Big Brother, avenge me!"
