Directly Passing
The Qi Practitioner who had clashed directly with Li Qingshan sneered as he walked past Li Qingshan. He said softly, "I'd like to see how you die. Pray to the heavens that you don't run into me in the end. The sacred hall. "
Li Qingshan smiled. "I believe I won't run into you." Afterwards, under the gazes of all the Qi Practitioners, he passed through the arena and arrived below the building. Two attendants blocked his way. "What are you trying to do?"
Li Qingshan ignored the attendants. He raised his head and said loudly, "May I ask if commander Zhuo Zhibo is here?"
"What is he trying to do?" "Is he tired of living?" The Qi Practitioners were surprised. The Black Wolf guards upstairs were stunned as well.
Brandynose murmured, "Looks like I've guessed wrong. This kid is going to die before he's even entered the arena."
"Chase him away!" Zhuo Zhibo frowned. Was his name something that just any measly Qi Practitioner could refer to?
Swish!
The two Hawkwolf guards outside the corridor casually drew their blades. The other Hawkwolf guards remained in their original positions as if they were just watching on.
"I bet he can block three strikes at the very least!" Brandynose's words immediately made his two colleagues become slightly more serious. One of them even said, "Then let's bet on it!"
Zhou Wenbin suddenly said, "Hold on! Commander Zhuo, this is the person I bet on. I won't take responsibility if he dies. Perhaps he's in trouble. Why don't we go take a look? " The smile in his eyes deepened. He stood up and made his way to the corridor. All Zhuo Zhibo could do was follow him. He felt rather uneasy.
Zhuo Zhibo looked at Li Qingshan from above. "What are you trying to do?"
"It's commander Wang Pushi. He sent me." With a flash of dark light, Li Qingshan shot towards the building. (7*
Zhuo Zhibo extended his hand and grabbed it. It was a Black Wolf tablet. The matters from a few months ago suddenly flashed through his head. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Qingshan. "You're that person?" He had never thought that the kid who had caused Feng Zhang to lose his position and caused him to be scolded by Wang Pushi would actually still be alive. He was actually bold enough to appear before him.
Li Qingshan laid out his hands and shrugged. "The real deal."
Zhou Wenbin smiled. "Commander Zhuo? What's going on? "
Zhuo Zhibo's face darkened as he replied: "Official Zhou is a wise and astute man. Why do you ask when you already know the answer?" He had always prided himself on his intelligence, but today, Zhou Wen Bin had made a fool out of him. His mood was terrible, and when he looked at Li Qingshan, he wanted nothing more than to slap him to death.
"Does Commander Wang's words count?" Li Qingshan said, completely ignoring Zhuo Zhibo's anger. When he first saw Zhuo Zhibo, he was relieved. According to his estimation, Zhuo Zhibo was only at the level of a monster that had just formed its Yao Dan, which was completely within his tolerance range.
At the sixth layer of Qi Refining, Qi Practitioners who had opened their Sea of Qi were roughly equivalent to daemons who had formed their Yao Cores. The long period of time that monsters cultivated was not without its benefits. Their physical bodies were strong, and their demonic aura was dense. They were far superior to humans of the same realm, and almost had an overwhelming advantage. Even when humans used spiritual artifacts and talismans as weapons, they could only barely hold their ground. In the end, they relied on their intelligence and numbers to overwhelm daemons.
Coupled with Little Ann's assistance with the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, Li Qingshan was obviously fearless. Since he knew it was impossible for Zhuo Zhibo to like him, and he was not the type of person who would stoop down to please others, he would just let nature take its course. However, in the eyes of bystanders, he seemed rather arrogant and despotic.
In the Clear River prefecture, no one was bold enough to say that Wang Pushi did not keep his word. At the very least, Zhuo Zhibo was not. His expression changed a few times before returning to normal. He even smiled slightly. He tossed the Black Wolf uniform down the stairs. "Li Qingshan, you're a Hawkwolf guard now. Just wait down there!"
"Thank you for your promotion, commander Zhuo!" Li Qingshan clasped his hands, but he instead became even more vigilant. People who could control their emotions were like venomous snakes hiding in the grass. They were even more terrifying than angry lions and tigers. The Holy Church
With that, the spectating Hawkwolf guards could not help but be taken aback. The Qi Practitioners who had come to take part in the recruitment were thrown into an uproar. Just like that, they had lost another spot. The clown who was supposed to be dead in their eyes had actually directly passed through in such a manner. The Qi Practitioners immediately felt it was unfair.
"That's unfair! Why can't he take part in the competition!?" The Qi Practitioner who had clashed directly with Li Qingshan and wanted to kill Li Qingshan cried out.
"He's only a first layer Qi Practitioner. Even someone like that can join the Hawkwolf Guard?"
Diao Fei and Qian Rongzhi stared at Li Qingshan from afar. They were no less surprised and shocked than the people around them. They said nothing. How could a group of measly Qi Practitioners change the Black Hawk commander's decision? They wondered just how powerful of a backer they had to be to directly force Zhuo Zhibo to accept him. Wang Pushi? Who was that?
Wang Pushi's nickname of "old Wang" had spread far too far, such that some people had forgotten about his actual name. However, the two of them were both well-informed and quick-witted people, so they immediately realised who it was. Was it the legendary old Wang of the Scarlet Hawk commander? No way. That was a figure who overlooked all the Qi Practitioners of the Clear River prefecture, one of the three rulers of a territory spanning fifteen hundred kilometers.
However, apart from that person, who else could force Zhuo Zhibo to yield without even showing up? They looked at Li Qingshan again and only felt that this seemingly ordinary sixteen-year-old young man was even more unfathomable. If the person standing behind him really was that person, then he was someone they could not afford to provoke.
Diao Fei thought about how he managed to establish a connection with someone like that. If that was the case, then killing Qian Rongming without batting an eyelid seemed to be a matter of course.
Zhou Wenbin looked at the noisy scene with a smile and said to Zhuo Zhibo, "I was just joking with you earlier. I've said before that the thing I hate the most in my life is gambling, so there's no need for commander Zhuo to mind."
"But I've never gone back on my word. Are you looking down on my gambling character, sir Zhou?" Zhuo Zhibo smiled sinisterly and casually picked up a walnut from the fruit platter on the table.
Li Qingshan suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent. There were no more than three people present who could see this clearly. Li Qingshan happened to be one of them.
The walnut pierced through the rain like it could pierce rocks and clouds, shattering countless droplets of rain and creating a hole in the air. It struck the forehead of a second layer Qi Practitioner.
Bang!
The walnut shattered, and his skull shattered. The Qi Practitioner still maintained his furious expression as his head was smashed into the ground by the tremendous force. His neck bone snapped, and he collapsed on the ground in a twisted posture.
All the Qi Practitioners shut their mouths as if someone had grabbed them by the throat at the same time. Every single one of them stood above everyone else in their respective hometowns, prodigies of the heavens. They held the lives of people of the jianghu in their hands, let alone ordinary people.
Now, a Qi Practitioner as noble as them had his life taken away so easily. It was as easy as slaughtering a chicken or a dog. It was very likely for any one of them to die earlier. This person was just unlucky, which was why he had been randomly chosen to serve as a warning to others.
They looked at the culprit, Zhuo Zhibo, who stood on the tall building. His rather chubby figure seemed to immediately grow taller. Suddenly, they understood something. This was Jiaping city, the place with the most and strongest Qi Practitioners within a radius of several hundred kilometers, and they were currently standing in the territory of the Hawkwolf Guard, the place with the most and strongest Qi Practitioners. Let alone say anything, even their dissatisfaction vanished.
Li Qingshan exhaled. This was reality.
There was a huge gap between each layer of Qi Refining. If a Qi Practitioner at the second layer of Qi Refining wanted to defeat a Qi Practitioner at the third layer of Qi Refining, he might be able to win by relying on numbers and a powerful talisman. However, against a fourth layer Qi Practitioner, they could only pray to the heavens that they could escape. Against a fifth layer Qi Practitioner, they would be dead for sure.
The difference between the sixth layer and the fifth layer was even greater than the difference between the previous layers combined. It was just like how daemonic beasts that had not condensed their daemon cores could never defeat daemons that had condensed their daemon cores. For a sixth layer Qi Practitioner who had split open a sea of qi, killing a measly second layer Qi Practitioner would be as easy as eating or drinking. Let alone fleeing, they would not even have the time to react.
Normally, Zhuo Zhibo would not have dealt with this so violently. After all, every single Qi Practitioner possessed great influence in their own region. They were either from clans or sects, so he did not want to make enemies for no good reason. However, he was furious right now, so he could not care about that. If he killed a measly Qi Practitioner, then so be it. Who would still be bold enough to seek revenge from him?
Zhuo Zhibo glanced past Li Qingshan indifferently. Li Qingshan could sense that Zhuo Zhibo wanted to throw the walnut at him even more, but he only smiled back. Zhuo Zhibo's frown deepened. Regular people would tremble in fear when they saw undefeatable power. If that person still held hostility towards you, it would lead to tremendous mental pressure. If this continued, it could even drive a person mad.
However, he did not see any fear from Li Qingshan at all. Instead, he was extremely composed and at ease. Either Li Qingshan was an idiot and did not know fear, or he was fearless. The answer was clearly the latter.
Zhuo Zhibo obviously did not believe that Li Qingshan was fearless because of his strength. That was because of his background. However, Wang Pushi did not explain his relationship with Li Qingshan at all. He only mentioned it casually, and he seemed very cold. He could not help but look at Zhou Wenbin. This bastard had many connections in the prefectural city, so he definitely knew something.
Zhou Wenbin cleared his throat. "Commander Zhuo, I heard that the White Hawk of the Ruyi commandery has seen this kid before. He even invited him to a cup of alcohol and gave him the mental map of the Green province that sheriff Wang carries with him."
"Really?" Zhuo Zhibo shivered inside. A name rang out in his head, as well as the white figure that he had only caught a glimpse of, but he was determined to never forget. He was rather well-informed. He knew that commander Gu had once appeared in the small city on the border. He understood even better that Feng Zhang had run into trouble, making old Wang lose face before commander Gu, which was why he was directly dismissed.
