Chapter 47: Violently Beating the Blue Mountain Sect Disciples

Liu Wen gritted his teeth, his inner power coalescing into a claw that reached back to grab.

Just the next moment, Shen Qing's foot kicked his waist, sending him flying; he slammed into two osmanthus trees in succession, bone-cracking sounds continuous, blood pouring incessantly from his mouth.

Lin Lianer's expression changed; she raised her trembling paper umbrella and aimed it at Shen Qing.

"You... how could you be so vicious?"

Shen Qing turned his head and gave him a cold glance.

"You didn't hit him, did you?"

The next moment, a person appeared before Lin Lianer, a heavy punch exploding with a sonic boom slammed straight into her abdomen, bending her whole body into a giant shrimp.

Lin Lianer collapsed to the ground, the bitter fluid in her stomach mixed with blood pouring incessantly, her eyes filled with fear, her voice losing all its earlier arrogance.

"Do you know who my father is..."

Shen Qing couldn't be bothered to wait for her to finish, he kicked her straight in the face, knocking her unconscious.

"Hang them all up and beat them to death."

Pang Xiyuan and the others acted quickly; Lin Lianer and Liu Wen were tightly bound and hung from the trees, while Liu Hui, not daring to resist, meekly surrendered and was also hung nearby.

Several Embroidered Uniform Guard members grabbed their whips and lashed at the two; the whips were specially made, each strike able to draw blood.

Lin Lianer's whole body had been whipped until her skin split and flesh tore, tears streaming down incessantly, she kept letting out choked sobs.

She now regretted it deeply.

As for Liu Wen, he was the main target; three Embroidered Uniform Guard members whipped him from three directions, leaving not a single good spot on his body.

Shen Qing sat on a nearby boulder; the scholar took a wine flask from his waist and handed it over.

"Boss, come have a drink and take a break."

"Boss, how's the situation in the woods? Should we call for reinforcements?"

Shen Qing was also a bit thirsty; he took the flask, drank a sip, and said with a smile.

"A pack of wild wolves doesn't need reinforcements; they're just trouble to seek out, and they're not in the forest. However, wolves, as beasts, are sensitive to the smell of blood—just find something, spill some blood, and they'll come."

Because of this pack of wild wolves, the surrounding animals have all fled, making it truly troublesome to find an animal to bleed.

Heigou clasped his hands and said: "Boss, I'll immediately take people across the river to catch two livestock."

Shen Qing crossed his legs, waved his hand, and said: "Originally it was still a bit troublesome, but now it's not necessary."

"Isn't there ready-made prey delivered right to our door?"

Following Shen Qing's gaze, one could immediately see Lin Lianer and Liu Wen hanging from the trees.

Shen Qing's voice was loud enough that, without turning away from the others, Lin Lianer heard it and her tears flowed uncontrollably; she let out wild sobs, as if begging for mercy, truly feeling the terror of death.

Just thinking that she would be used as bait to lure the wild wolves made her tremble uncontrollably, and she actually rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.

On the other side, Liu Wen's situation was even worse; a wave of wetness overcame his legs and he actually pissed himself.

They were used to bullying the weak, but never expected to encounter such a ruthless person today.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had no qualms about this method, after all Liu Wen had truly come to kill.

If it weren't for Shen Qing being here today, this group would really have been done for.

Suddenly, Old Li, who was scratching his ear and cheek nearby, drew everyone's attention.

The scholar patted his shoulder: "Old Li, what are you doing? Squatting there like a monkey."

"Injured?"

Old Li turned his head, still grimacing: "No~ I just got knocked flying into the thicket, hit a vine; this thing has barbs, probably poisonous, it scraped me and it hurts and burns."

Everyone looked at the green vine segment in Old Li's hand, feeling curious; even Old Li couldn't bear it, it really did look painful.

The scholar, however, felt disdain: "Why are you holding onto it? Just throw it away quickly."

"Could it be you have some special fetish? You like... uh~"

Those around stepped back a few paces, showing looks of disdain.

Old Li hastily explained: "No~ I was thinking, this thing hurts more than a whip—could it be used as a new instrument of punishment?"

Those around froze for a moment, feeling: "You little brat, squatting there scratching your ear and cheek, thinking about this?"

Shen Qing also couldn't help but glance back.

My dear Minister of Justice seems to have thought up something new again.

Shen Qing smiled: "Old Li, if you've got something good, hurry up and use it."

Old Li gave a hehe smile, turned his head, and darted into the thicket to pull out several vines.

The few Embroidered Uniform Guard members carrying out the punishment glanced at their whips and immediately tossed them aside to pick up the vines.

With one lash, Liu Wen's eyes almost popped out.

Not knowing how many lashes had been dealt, Shen Qing, sitting quietly on the boulder, slowly opened his eyes and gazed deep into the osmanthus forest.

"Finally, they've come."

Shen Qing rose, patted the drowsy scholar, and said: "Go wake them all up and hide in the trees."

The scholar jolted awake, all drowsiness gone, instantly realized the wild wolves were coming; he hurriedly woke the others, who all scrambled up into the trees.

Soon, a pair of green eyes glowed in the darkness, a wild wolf appeared, but instead of charging forward, it paced back and forth on the spot, incessantly baring its teeth.

Although it couldn't see where the people were, it could scent many Embroidered Uniform Guard members, its instinct telling it this place was dangerous.

But the blood continuously flowing from Liu Wen and Lin Lianer hanging in the trees was too tempting for a peak Acquired Realm martial warrior.

After hesitating for a long time, his instinctive desire ultimately overcame his low intelligence.

He raised his head and let out a howl, strode forward with big steps toward the two, then opened his huge mouth and bit down on Liu Wen's foot, tearing at it relentlessly; Liu Wen's eyes filled with fear, he kept kicking his legs, but it was useless—Shen Qing's kick had broken several of his ribs and he had been whipped dozens of times, leaving him with no strength to resist.

He regretted it, regretting why he had provoked the Embroidered Uniform Guard and why he still thought of killing.

But it's a pity—there's no regret medicine in the world.

With a rip, Liu Wen's eyes bulged out, blood vessels filling his sight, and the wolf tore a chunk of meat straight from his calf in one bite.

Not long after, a sparse rustling sound came from the woods; the wild wolf that was gnawing on flesh and blood also lowered its head.

All that could be seen was that in the woods several pairs of green eyes slowly appeared, and at the very center was a pair of emerald pupils as large as bronze bells.

As the moonlight shone, the figure of a two-meter-tall white wild wolf slowly emerged; it was obviously the wolf king of this place.

It slowly walked forward, and the wolves under the trees continually lowered their heads.

The White Wolf King's nose twitched slightly, a fierce light flashing in his eyes; his nose is far more useful than an ordinary wild wolf's, he can smell the Embroidered Uniform Guard's aura, and can even tell that there is an Innate Realm expert.

The wolves under the trees crawled forward to the wolf king, continually whimpering, as if seeking credit.

The White Wolf King raised its paw and directly slapped the wild wolf to the ground, emitting a hoarse sound.

"Is it... you who brought a human Innate Realm cultivator here?"

This wolf king has also become intelligent; just staying in White Egret Marsh, nobody taught him to speak, his speech is very awkward, not even comparable to Li Yu.

He bared his fangs, growling lowly toward the direction of the osmanthus tree.

"Don't hide... come out."

At that moment, a clear, cold voice came from its side.

"Hey, are you blind? Look over here."

The White Wolf King's pupils contracted sharply, it leapt up quickly, arched its back and bared its teeth toward Shen Qing's direction.

Thanks to the Wolf King, Shen Qing still realized for the first time that wolves can also have their fur stand on end like this.

Only see, in the dark place, Shen Qing sat quietly on a large stone, watching it.

The white wild wolf's thoughts raced wildly.

When did he get there?

If he had just ambushed me, I probably couldn't have blocked it at all.

Really lucky, really lucky; he didn't ambush me, but instead spoke up and revealed his position.

The Wolf King spoke in an unpleasant voice.

"What a foolish human! With such a good opportunity, you didn't even ambush me? Let this king tell you, you have already missed your last chance."

Shen Qing furrowed his brows.

"Damn, what is he babbling about?"

In the next instant, the whole person vanished from the large stone, turning into a cannonball that shot swiftly toward the Wolf King, throwing a heavy punch.

The Wolf King's first reaction was to dodge, but at this moment the agile limbs it usually prided itself on felt unusually heavy; just as it lifted its paw, Shen Qing's fist had already smashed into its face.

The Wolf King flew backward, two of the fangs in his mouth were broken off, and at this moment he had only one thought in his mind.

He seems not to ambush, but I also can't block it.

Damn!
