Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Black Wolf guards in black Black Wolf uniforms directly pierced through the walls and entered the morgue. The sacred hall
Dust filled the surroundings, but they were completely untainted. Their clothes drifted with their true qi as they stared at Li Qingshan coldly.
Sharp killing intent interwove and wrapped around Li Qingshan firmly. Although the strongest was only the fifth layer Xie Nande, their presence could not be compared to Zhang Lanqing and the others.
They were professional killers, a pack of wolves that hunted their prey. Every single one of them had survived countless battles of life and death. If Zhang Lanqing faced off against Xie Nande, he would have been slain on the spot as soon as they clashed.
At this moment, Li Qingshan instead sat down. He leaned on his Wind-entwining blade and did not even look at the Black Wolf guards. The dust approached Li Qingshan every five steps, but it could not advance any further. Little Ann stood beside him. Her pearl-like eyes were filled with some desire.
All paths of escape had been sealed up, only leaving behind the pitch-black, hollow entrance of the morgue. Cold wind whistled in, and a black boot stepped over the doorsill. With the wind came an iron hawk. Its wings were raised, its eyes were wide open, and its beak was like a hook. It stared at Li Qingshan as if it could come alive at any time and kill Li Qingshan on the spot.
The presence he gave off alone was even more powerful than all the other Black Wolf guards combined.
Li Qingshan finally raised his head. "Commander Zhuo, what a grand lineup!"
Zhuo Zhibo glanced past the corpses strewn across the morgue and asked in surprise, "Did you do all of this? You repelled the Zombie Daoist? "
"As you can see." Li Qingshan opened his left hand.
Zhuo Zhibo sneered, "Then he's still just trash!"
If the Zombie Daoist had been surrounded by the hawks and wolves, he definitely would not have been able to escape as easily as he did against the disciples of mohism. He would only have been slain and torn to pieces.
Li Qingshan agreed. "He really is trash. The sacred hall … "
Since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, Zhuo Zhibo no longer concealed his killing intent. "Before you die, do you have anything to say?"
Li Qingshan smiled and shook his head. "I won't die."
Zhuo Zhibo said, "Yes, you won't die quickly. We have the most brilliant interrogators here. We will cut you open bit by bit and not let you die."
He really wanted to admire Li Qingshan's expression of fear and despair, but he was disappointed. Li Qingshan only smiled, revealing his snow-white fangs that were longer than a normal person's. Even the child beside him was expressionless.
As Li Qingshan and Zhuo Zhibo spoke, none of the Black Wolf guards in the surroundings interrupted them. They did not even show any changes in their expressions. Even the weakest Ge Jian's eyes shone brightly, locking onto Li Qingshan's presence. He refused to lower his guard at all.
Although they were facing off against an enemy, Li Qingshan could not help but praise them inside. Now this was a true warrior. As one of the most powerful organizations of violence in the Great Xia empire, even the weakest Black Wolf guard possessed such qualities.
He possessed absolute confidence in victory. The only problem right now was that he could not let a single one of them escape!
Li Qingshan stood up. With a clang, he drew his jagged Wind-entwining blade. He extended his left hand into his talisman belt and took out a Lightning Summoning Talisman. Little Ann wielded his sword in one hand and the Skull Prayer Beads in the other.
They did not even look at each other, but they had already decided on a strategy. It was exactly the same as the Zombie Daoist's strategy Just Now, which was to erupt with all their strength and kill the strongest Zhuo Zhibo instantly. The remaining people could be dealt with as they pleased. Even if they scattered, it would be relatively easy to hunt them down.
Zhuo Zhibo nodded slightly and drew his seven Wind-entwining blades.
The battle was about to erupt at any moment. However, a yell rang out from outside, "Li Qingshan, are you crippled? Why are you so slow? "
Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. "What are you doing back here?"
Zhuo Zhibo suddenly turned around and saw a burly man with a full beard standing several dozen meters away. The presence he gave off and the bronze cannon in his hand made his eyes narrow. "…"
Hao Pingyang said, "If I want to come back, I'll come back. Is that any of your business?" Beside him, Zhang Lanqing and the other three carried loaded Thousand Mechanism crossbows. They all frowned.
Zhang Lanqing said, "Are you still not done with your business? If you're done, then hurry over! "
Zhuo Zhibo said coldly, "I was wondering why you were so fearless. Turns out you've received reinforcements. No wonder you're still alive."
Li Qingshan completely ignored him. He said loudly to Hao Pingyang, "I'm not going over right now. You can go first. There's no need to wait for me!"
Hao Pingyang called out, "I told you to come over, so come over. I'd like to see who dares to stop you! I'll blast them to smithereens! "
Li Qingshan felt rather helpless, but also rather touched. He sheathed his blade and said to Zhuo Zhibo, "Commander Zhuo, looks like there won't be many opportunities today!" Just like that, he made his way towards the entrance of the morgue with Little Ann.
The moment they brushed past Zhuo Zhibo, they could both sense the startling killing intent that had erupted from each other, but neither of them struck out.
Ge Jian said, "Commander!"
Zhuo Zhibo raised his hand, indicating for them to be quiet.
Li Qingshan arrived beside Hao Pingyang. Hao Pingyang whispered, "What's going on?"
Li Qingshan smiled. "There's just a small conflict!"
"A small conflict!?" Hao Pingyang called out. A small conflict could be surrounded by a group of Black Wolf guards with killing intent, and their leader was a sixth layer Qi Practitioner Black Hawk commander.
Jin Bao said with lingering fear, "That man, even from so far away and with his back to me, it still feels very terrifying!"
… …
The reason why Cave Town got its name was because there was a huge karst cave near the town.
It was a tributary of the Clear river that flowed into the cavern, never to return. The boats and people were the same. Even though there were curious villagers who tried to enter the cavern to investigate, none of them returned. It had become a forbidden ground that could make people pale at the mere mention of it.
However, according to the location marked out by the Hawkwolf Guard, the cavern was called the Zombie Cave. It was the hiding place of the most wanted criminal, the Zombie Daoist. He was also a terrifying existence in the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping city.
Zhuo Zhibo had once personally led a group in an attempt to complete this mission, but in the end, they lost four Black Wolf guards, and they failed to find the Zombie Daoist's hiding place. It only doubled the contribution required for the mission, setting a new record for the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping city.
Li Qingshan currently stood at the entrance to the Zombie Cave. The entrance stood over thirty meters tall and was extremely wide. It was like the mouth of a huge beast, spraying with a cold air. Li Qingshan could clearly smell the faint stench in the air. It was the stench of corpses. He gazed into the cave, but his gaze vanished into the darkness in the end. The pillars that hung down from the ceiling were like the fangs of a huge beast.
Even the rising sun in the east was unable to weaken the gloominess of this place.
Zhang Lanqing took out a small boat and tossed it into the water. The boat rapidly expanded until it could fit eight people. The two sides were lined with oars that resembled a thousand-legged insect.
"You better go first. Those people won't spare me. They'll definitely catch up." Li Qingshan had already roughly explained the entire story to them. They were all furious, but after the fury, they became fearful. The infamy of the Hawkwolf Guard was extremely resounding among Qi Practitioners.
Jin Yuan and Jin Bao lowered their heads. They said nothing. From the clash earlier, they had understood the difference in strength between them and the Hawkwolf Guard.
He Yishi's eyes flickered as he mumbled, "That works too. It'll be a little easier if I flee alone."
Hao Pingyang said furiously, "If there's something good to gain, we'll appreciate each other and get along well. If there's danger, we'll split up and go our separate ways. Are you still human?"
Jin Yuan and Jin Bao were both ashamed. He Yishi said, "I'm just saying!" However, he wondered inside whether Li Qingshan was intentionally using them to block the disaster.
Zhang Lanqing said, "Yeah. Qingshan, it'll be a little safer if you stay with us. Once the mission ends, we'll return to the Clear River prefecture together. You can appeal to the Hawkwolf Guard of the Clear River prefecture. We can all testify for you!"
Hao Pingyang said, "That's a good idea. If it doesn't work out, you might as well resign from your position with the Hawkwolf Guard. The Hundred Schools of Thought will open next spring, and you can join our school of Mohism. I'll personally teach you the art of engineering."
Li Qingshan took in all of their reactions. Hao Pingyang was truly a straightforward man. Although he had a bad temper and a foul mouth, his flaws did not obscure his virtues. Zhang Lanqing was an honest person, and he was meticulous in his thinking. The other three paled in comparison. They could be roused by loyalty and hot-bloodedness, but they could not last for long.
However, Li Qingshan did not resent them at all. This was just human nature. Not all ties of friendship would be reciprocated. Even if the five of them were no longer willing to travel with Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan did not find it strange at all. Now that there were two people who were truly willing to help him, it was already extremely rare. Now they were truly friends worth making. As for the three of them, they were just acquaintances.
Li Qingshan said, "Alright, I'll keep you company for a little longer."
Hao Pingyang said, "Now that's more like it!" The seven of them boarded the boat. Under Zhang Lanqing's control, the wing-like oars on the two sides immediately began to move. The boat followed the flow and entered the cave.
Soon after they left, Zhuo Zhibo's group arrived at the entrance as well.
Ge Jian asked, "Commander, what do we do?"
Zhuo Zhibo said, "Let them scout the path ahead and clear out the obstacles. Once they're exhausted, kill them all and push the blame onto the Zombie Daoist. Then kill the Zombie Daoist." He decided everyone's fate with a single sentence. He demonstrated his cold, iron-blooded demeanor.
"Yes sir!" The Black Wolf guards answered loudly, following his lead.
Zhuo Zhibo joked, "I'm a little glad that I didn't kill him right from the beginning. Instead, I gained quite a lot of benefits."
Since their boss was joking, how could the subordinates not respect him? The Black Wolf guards all smiled in agreement. "Looks like the mohist disciples have quite a lot of good stuff on them."
The boat moved extremely quickly with the flow. Very soon, they entered the cave. The cave gradually narrowed, and the surroundings were pitch-black. At this moment, a small lantern lit up at the front of the boat.
Although Qi Practitioners could see at night, their vision would still be affected in the darkness. The one who was truly unaffected was Little Ann. The one who felt like he could see even more clearly in the darkness than in the day was Li Qingshan.
