The moment Yang Anzhi took a step forward, he collapsed to the ground as if he had been electrocuted. His entire body trembled as blood seeped out from every pore on his body. Before long, he had turned into a bloody gourd.
The sharp sword Qi did not distinguish friend from foe. Li Qingshan had only managed to avoid injury because of his True Qi, but Yang Anzhi only cultivated inner force, which was qualitatively different from True Qi. It was not enough to block the sword Qi.
The entire Ancestral Hall began to creak. Dust and wood scattered down. The sword Qi had destroyed the entire structure, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
With the earth and wood weighing down, Li Qingshan did not dare to be careless. "Little Ann, run!" However, he charged straight for Yang Anzhi.
The sound of the Ancestral Hall collapsing echoed for over five kilometers. Dust spread through the entire Dragon's Gate Mountain, immediately alarming the disciples guarding the mountain. They all rushed up the mountain.
In the main hall up ahead, the dust dissipated, and Li Qingshan's figure appeared. He held a heart in his hand.
Little Ann lowered his head in guilt. If he had not forced himself to exchange blows with Yang Anzhi, he would not have had the chance to escape to the Ancestral Hall. Li Qingshan would not have had to take such a huge risk.
Li Qingshan rubbed Little Ann's head. "It's fine!" He was like a father doting on his child, or an older brother doting on his younger brother.
Cruelty and gentleness, two completely opposite temperaments, appeared on him at the same time. It was extremely contradictory, yet logical.
Using the Tiger Digging Out the Heart technique, he took the hearts of over a dozen Dragon's Gate Sect experts. After Little Ann absorbed them, the flames in his eye sockets became much brighter. Both his strength and speed had increased significantly. The speed of his improvement was indeed worthy of its name.
Li Qingshan took down the spiritual artifact sword that was slightly inferior to the Soaring Dragon Sword from the beam. However, it was much smaller and more suitable for Little Ann to wield, allowing him to unleash the might of his sword technique.
Li Qingshan searched through Dragon's Gate sect again and found a set of clothes to wear. However, he did not find a treasure trove like the one in Black Wind Stronghold. After all, the Dragon's Gate Sect would not have bought so many gold and silver utensils for no reason. The Black Wind Bandits were bandits themselves, so it was inconvenient for them to sell their loot. That was why they stored them in the treasure vault.
However, he managed to find more than ten bottles of medicine. They were labeled with the names Nine Ginseng Dew Pill, Deer Fetus Bone Changing Pill, and so on. Although they were not divine pills or miraculous medicines, the Dragon's Gate sect had spent a great deal of effort to refine them for the sake of nurturing their disciples. Although their effects could not compare to the spiritual ginseng spirit wine, they were far superior to the wine brewed from ordinary ginseng.
As for his greatest gain, he found a stack of banknotes on the body of the Dragon's Gate's Young Master, Yang Jun. There were several tens of thousands of silver taels. Yang Anzhi had already made preparations to retreat. He had taken out all his savings and entrusted them to his only son for safekeeping in case of emergency. However, he did not expect that Li Qingshan would come so quickly and so fiercely.
The disciples guarding the Dragon's Gate Sect all rushed over. When they saw the collapse of the ancestral hall, they exchanged looks, dumbfounded. "W- what's going on?"
When they rushed into the hall, they were immediately stunned by the horrifying scene before them. Corpses were strewn all over the place, each with a hole in their chest. Only one figure stood there with his back to them.
A disciple mustered up his courage and shouted, "Who are you?!"
Li Qingshan patted the porcelain jar, placating the rather restless Little Ann. Then he turned around and said, "I am Li Qingshan. The Dragon's Gate Sect has been destroyed. You can all disperse!" With that, he strode out of the hall.
The Black Wind Bandits were filled with crimes, so he had to kill them all. As for the people from the Dragon's Gate Sect in the hall, they had already become sworn enemies with him. They wanted his life, so he could not spare them. However, these ordinary disciples of the Dragon's Gate Sect were only used as sacrificial pawns. Even if he wanted to help Little Ann recover as soon as possible, he did not want to kill indiscriminately.
Of course, if these disciples dared to draw their swords at him, he would not show any mercy. Those who used swords died by the sword, and those who killed should be prepared to be killed as well.
Li Qingshan passed through the dozens of Dragon's Gate Sect disciples, and they all opened up a path for him in unison.
Just as Li Qingshan was about to reach the doors of the hall, someone drew his sword and roared, "I'll kill you!" Then he charged at Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan looked back at him indifferently, and the disciple froze. The murderous gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing into his heart. The sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and he fell to his knees, saying, "You are not human! You are a demon! A demon!"
Naturally, Li Qingshan did not take it to heart. He walked out of the hall at ease and took a deep breath. Another grudge had been settled.
On the lone peak, the group of Dragon's Gate disciples followed behind Li Qingshan as they trembled. Li Qingshan arrived at the edge of the cliff and leapt off, vanishing into the snowy darkness.
As the saying went, it was easier to go up the mountain than down. Compared to climbing up the mountain, Li Qingshan's path down the mountain was even more dangerous. He used the Tiger Demon Descends the Mountain and controlled his body with everything he had. He had to use every bit of power carefully. If he used a bit more or a bit less, he would end up smashed to pieces.
However, with the experience from last time, he still managed to descend the mountain safely. He became more and more familiar with the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging. Just as Li Qingshan was in high spirits, his stomach growled loudly. He felt an intense wave of hunger. He had not been as hungry as he was right now, even after such a long battle during the long-range raid on the Black Wind stronghold last night.
He sprinted along the way and returned to Qingyang city, only to see that the city gates were already closed. With a leap and a climb, he made his way over and returned to the restaurant.
The restaurant was ablaze with lanterns. The banquet had yet to disperse. Everyone tasted their alcohol without much interest and chatted idly, waiting for Li Qingshan's news.
Li Qingshan suddenly appeared before everyone. Everyone wondered whether he had not arrived at the Dragon's Gate sect at all, as his round trip had taken less than two hours. It was not even enough for regular people to climb up the Dragon's Gate mountain.
However, although Li Qingshan used snow to wash away the bloodstains on him, the smell of blood was so heavy that it refused to disperse.
Ye Dachuan said, "Qingshan!"
Li Qingshan said, "Please remain calm, sir. The Dragon's Gate sect has already been destroyed. Yang Anzhi, Yang Jun, and the bandits have all been wiped out. I've sent the other disciples to disperse on their own."
Everyone in the restaurant gasped at the same time. If it were not for their fear of Li Qingshan's might, they basically would have doubted whether he was telling the truth or not. Just what kind of speed was that? He had gone to destroy the Black Wind stronghold, and the round trip had taken him an entire day and night.
Ye Dachuan said, "So fast!"
Li Qingshan nodded. Although it had only been a day, he had already become stronger. First of all, Little Ann had practised the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, becoming a powerful ally. Then, he had practised the Tiger Demon's Fist of Bone Forging, converting his strength into destructive power.
