Huang Meibo was very proud of her strength. She was confident that after Li Ziqi released her spirit runes, she would still be able to break through her defense. She was also confident that after Li Ziqi completed the spiritual summoning, she would be able to kill her battle pet.
This battle was a battle to clear her name. Hence, she had to fight Li Ziqi in her peak condition.
"Teacher, I will let you know that I'm the best."
Huang Meibo gripped the hilt of her sword tightly.
Li Ziqi looked at Huang Meibo and suddenly burst out laughing.
This scene made Huang Meibo feel very puzzled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Actually, I want to tell you that I rely on this place to make a living."
The little sunny egg bent her finger and knocked on her head. "I usually leave the work of combat to others."
"Are you making fun of me?"
Huang Meibo was unhappy.
"Those examinees who can pass the great teacher examination might not all have outstanding intelligence, but those who can become the top ranker are definitely one in a thousand."
Li Ziqi teased, "Are you so sure that I fell for your trap?"
"You mean that you came here knowing that it's a trap?"
Huang Meibo immediately looked around.
There was no one!
"Don't try to bluff."
This was an alley that wasn't very spacious. There were many miscellaneous items piled up under the eaves. Because it had rained a few days ago, the ground hadn't dried yet. It was wet and muddy, and some places were even covered in moss.
It wasn't far from evening now, so there was smoke rising from the kitchen and the fragrance of food drifted by.
Occasionally, as a light breeze blew by, one could even smell the smell of burning firewood.
"You chose to target Qin Yaoguang because you feel that she is a girl and is weaker. Moreover, she is more active and would be alone more often, right?"
Li Ziqi analyzed.
"But you neglected a problem. That is her personality."
"Junior martial sister Yaoguang wouldn't enter a weapon shop or an antique shop. She is only interested in a snack shop. Taking a step back, my teacher is so rich. Do you think that personal disciples like us would lack good weapons?"
Huang Meibo's expression sank.
"Alright, even if there are no problems, do you think that I, who just heard that something happened to Zhou Wenbin, would be on guard?"
Li Ziqi smiled and asked.
"Coward."
Huang Meibo looked at him in disdain. Indeed, she hadn't thought of this. In her mind, these geniuses were definitely fearless. They were just going to the shop across the street to take a look. How could they possibly find someone from the same sect to accompany them?
"Hehe!"
Li Ziqi learned from Sun Mo and shrugged.
"But I didn't see you calling for help?"
Huang Meibo didn't understand. She had been following Li Ziqi in the dark precisely because she wanted to find a chance to fight.
"Because I was worried that someone was hiding in the dark and spying on us, I wrote a note and told Junior Brother Jiang some things."
Li Ziqi surveyed Huang Meibo. "Could it be that you didn't notice? Actually, I've been deliberately dawdling to buy more time. "
"A trap?"
Huang Meibo's heart skipped a beat. Like a cat being targeted by a hound, her whole body tensed up, but she still hadn't found anyone.
If Li Ziqi didn't lie, it meant that the other party's concealment ability was extremely good.
"Junior Brother Jiang, Junior Brother Helian, you can come out now."
Li Ziqi called out, "Tantai, don't join in the fun. It's easy to be targeted."
"Ahem, is that how you talk?"
As the sickly invalid grumbled, the three of them leaped up the wall.
Helian Beifang rapidly moved closer to Li Ziqi to prevent her from being attacked. As for Jiang Leng, he blocked Huang Meibo's path.
Huang Meibo drew in a deep breath and then roared.
"Let's attack together!"
At this moment, the young girl's battle intent surged.
"If only Xuanyuan Po was here."
The sickly invalid sighed.
"Actually, I can do it too!"
Helian Beifang was eager to give it a try.
As someone from the barbarian race, he was also fond of battle.
"If Junior Sister Yaoguang wasn't captured, it's fine to let you fight. But now, it's not possible."
Jiang Leng's expression was ice-cold. His words were filled with killing intent.
"Where did you hide her?"
"That's right, thank you for reminding me. I still have a hostage!"
Huang Meibo continued to stare at Li Ziqi. "Fight with me. Regardless of victory or defeat, I will return her to you. If not, don't blame my companion for being impolite."
"Zeze!"
Tantai Yutang shook his finger. "This plan of yours is filled with childishness and naivety. I can tell with a single glance that it's your work. No one else participated in it."
"You are telling me now that you have an accomplice? Do you think I will believe you? "
"Also, there's another crucial point. We can totally capture you and interrogate you for information. No matter what, we can also exchange the hostage with that 'non-existent' accomplice of yours!"
Huang Meibo's heart pounded fiercely.
Because this sickly invalid was right. She was alone.
"Hehe, let me teach you another lesson. Don't write all your thoughts on your face."
The sickly invalid was joyful. "Look, I'm certain now that you really don't have an accomplice."
"Oi, is it really good to bully a girl like this?"
Li Ziqi teased.
"You guys..."
Huang Meibo was angered. She felt that her intelligence wasn't bad and she could look down on others. But now, she was being beaten up by these two.
She no longer had the initiative.
(However, I can still escape.)
"Are you thinking of how to escape?"
Tantai Yutang smiled and asked.
"If you don't want to fight, I can only leave."
Huang Meibo had wanted to say that she could fight one against four, but the young man with the word 'trash' on his forehead and the barbarian youth beside Li Ziqi were too ferocious.
Huang Meibo's rich experience told her that these two were formidable opponents.
"Sorry, you won't be able to leave."
Tantai Yutang looked at Li Ziqi. "Can you leave the interrogating to me? I guarantee that I won't kill her! "
"Let's wait for Teacher to return before we make a decision!"
Li Ziqi disagreed. "They are from Dark Dawn. There's an 80% to 90% chance that they are related to Zhou Wenbin's assassination!"
"How preposterous, do you really think that I'm a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others?"
Huang Meibo was angered and directly lunged toward Li Ziqi.
(Forget it, let's fight first.)
"Wait a minute, answer a question of mine first."
Li Ziqi indicated for Huang Meibo to not be rash. "I've already thought of so many things and have the upper hand. Why am I still talking so much to you?"
"Aren't you waiting for them to check the surroundings and ascertain if there are any other enemies, as well as to complete the encirclement?"
Given Huang Meibo's intelligence, she could still deduce this.
"There's more."
Tantai Yutang indicated for Huang Meibo to continue and not stop.
"Stop talking nonsense. Be careful that if this fellow's teacher comes, our joy will turn into sorrow. Let's capture her and bring her back to the hotel first."
Helian Beifang urged.
As he spoke, he dashed toward Huang Meibo.
"Hmph!"
Huang Meibo planned to kill this barbarian brat first to intimidate the enemies. But when she circulated her spirit qi, she suddenly felt a piercing pain in her chest, causing her to be unable to breathe.
Her body stumbled and fell toward the ground. It was as if all the energy in her body had been sapped dry.
"You despicable people actually used poison?"
Huang Meibo was shocked and angered.
"Aren't you guys afraid of bringing disgrace to Sun Mo's reputation?"
"Leaving aside the fact that you are a dark great teacher that everyone wants to kill, just based on the fact that you kidnapped my junior martial sister, we won't be polite to you."
Helian Beifang dashed toward Huang Meibo. He first used the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands that he wasn't too familiar with to seal her energy channels. After that, he took out a rope and tied her up.
"When did you guys poison her?"
Huang Meibo couldn't understand. Wasn't she already very careful?
The most important thing was that when it came to poisoning, ordinary people would at most make a knockout drug. If it was too difficult, they might even poison themselves to death. Therefore, other than poison masters, most people wouldn't be able to do it and wouldn't dare to do it.
Could it be that Sun Mo was also a hidden poison master?
"I'm not telling you!"
Tantai Yutang was filled with mischief.
"This is a type of poisonous smoke. In order to conceal it, I mixed it with the smoke from the kitchen."
A mellow voice suddenly rang out.
The four of them instantly felt their scalps turning numb.
(Oh no, we've delayed for too long. The enemy's reinforcements have arrived.)
Lu Feng, who was dressed in white, flashed and appeared on top of the wall. After that, he flashed again and stood next to Helian Beifang.
Swoosh!
The barbarian youth swung his blade.
Pak!
Lu Feng's two fingers grabbed the hilt of his blade.
"Not bad!"
Lu Feng praised and assessed Helian Beifang. "I didn't expect there to be so many good seedlings among Sun Mo's personal disciples!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Helian Beifang decisively tossed his blade away and did a somersault in retreat.
"Senior Jiang, protect Eldest Martial Sister and leave first."
Helian Beifang pulled out another dagger from his boot.
Jiang Leng no longer blocked the path and rapidly darted behind the wall. Very soon, he appeared next to Li Ziqi.
"Teacher!"
Huang Meibo lowered her head, not having the face to see anyone.
"This can't be blamed on you. Who asked the enemy to be too crafty?"
Lu Feng patted Huang Meibo's hair. "Do you know why Li Ziqi spoke so much to you? It's because she was afraid that you would leave in advance or attack.
"During this time, those three brats would need time to find an upwind and release the poison."
Li Ziqi and the other three communicated through their gazes.
"Outstanding, all of them are extremely outstanding!"
The more Lu Feng looked at the four of them, the more he liked them.
Even that sickly invalid didn't reveal a look of fear. Their guts were strong enough. Moreover, they didn't give up struggling.
"The four of you, why don't you join me? I can dig out your potential better than Sun Mo! "
Lu Feng couldn't control himself and started to recruit them.
Hearing this, Huang Meibo lowered her head, feeling very disappointed.
"Sorry, in this lifetime, I will only be Teacher's disciple!"
Li Ziqi rejected.
"Me too!"
Helian Beifang also expressed his stance.
Tantai Yutang shrugged. "I'm very grateful that Teacher can tolerate my rotten personality. If I were to come to your side, I'm afraid you would beat me to death."
Li Ziqi and the other two immediately looked over.
(So, you also know that you're loathsome!)
Jiang Leng didn't say anything, but the dagger he was holding onto was sufficient to show his attitude.
"You guys find a chance to escape. I'll cover the rear!"
Jiang Leng drew in a deep breath, preparing to fight to the death.
Even if he had to give up his life, he had to let his eldest martial sister, whom his teacher liked, escape.
Li Ziqi wanted to speak, but she was pulled back by Tantai Yutang.
"Taking in a disciple is a matter of both sides choosing. I want to ask you, what capabilities do you have to feel that you are stronger than my teacher?"
"This question should be asked by me, the eldest martial sister!"
Li Ziqi grumbled, but she was very grateful in her heart. This was because her words were very offensive. If the other party was angered, he might kill someone.
One could say that the sickly invalid was taking a bullet for her.
"Can't you let me perform for once?"
The sickly invalid's lips twitched.
"Alright, stop quarreling. I know you guys are stalling for time."
Lu Feng saw through their little tricks.
