Chapter 45: Shrew

The old woman was old and couldn't stay up late, so she was dozing in the room.

Dang dang dang...

The old grandfather clock rang nine times.

The old woman felt a palpitation and was startled from her sleep.

It was only nine o'clock just now, and it was still early until the Zi hour.

But why was she feeling so uncomfortable in her heart?

Ka da! Ka da! Ka da!

The pendulum of the old grandfather clock swung back and forth.

On the shiny pendulum, some shadows gradually appeared.

Seedling room!

Knife!

Blood!

Something happened at home!

The old woman immediately got out of bed and ran toward the seedling room.

Entering the seedling room, she saw the mother and daughter Xiao Yeci and Lu Chunying staying honestly in the seedling room without moving, but Li Banfeng was gone.

"Decai! Demao! Come quickly, all of you come to me!"

The old woman called her two sons. Before long, the eldest son Decai came.

"Where is Demao?"

Decai rubbed his eyes and said: "Seems to have gone to the back courtyard to sharpen the knife. That old knife of ours is hard to sharpen. It might not be sharpened well in an hour. I said buy a new knife, but you wouldn't let me..."

The old woman turned back and slapped Decai. "Still talking about the knife, are you blind? People have run away and you can't see it!"

Decai covered his face, and only then did he discover that Li Banfeng had run away.

He stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Yeci's hair, and asked: "Where did the person run to? When did he run out?"

Xiao Yeci shouted hoarsely: "I don't know, I really don't know!"

Lu Chunying cried out from the side: "Don't hit my mom, we don't know anything. That person came, we didn't talk to him, we were asleep, and he just left..."

This little girl had more courage than her mother and could explain things clearly.

But was it useful to explain clearly?

It was useless. This point the little girl didn't understand, but Xiao Yeci knew very well.

This family was evil people, and it was useless to say anything to evil people.

The old woman turned back and instructed her eldest son Decai: "Go call Demao, kill these two sluts first, that traveler cultivator definitely won't be able to run out."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeci's voice changed tune immediately: "Big sister, have mercy, you can do whatever you want to me, but spare my child's life, I beg you, I beg you!"

Xiao Yeci begged bitterly over and over again. The old woman didn't even look, but the eldest son Decai was truly tempted: "Mom, didn't we say wait until the Zi hour?"

The old woman raged: "Something has happened, what are we waiting for!"

"Mom, such a watery woman, and such a watery girl, you won't even let us brothers taste them, and you're just going to..."

Pa!

The old woman slapped Decai again: "How do I usually teach you? Two lewd words and you forgot the rules? Hurry up and call your brother to me!"

Decai didn't dare to say more and hurried out of the seedling room.

He had long been craving the bodies of this mother and daughter, but his mother had never let them touch them.

Not only this time, but in the past, when they kidnapped flower tickets (women), the old lady never let them touch them.

Their family never left anyone alive, regardless of gender or age. As long as they entered this door, not a single one could live to go out.

But they had never slept with a flower ticket; they couldn't even touch them more, and couldn't say more words. The old lady always forbade them brothers from contacting women. Every time a woman came to the door, the old lady would let them brothers avoid them. The two brothers usually mentioned women, and they would be taught a lesson by the old lady.

Decai patted his cheeks, feeling that he was also a bit strange.

What's going on today? Usually, even if he wanted to, he never dared to tell the old lady, but today, how did he say it?

This woman is not ordinary!

Decai looked at Xiao Yeci and walked away resentfully.

Xiao Yeci kowtowed to the old woman: "Old lady, old sister, the money on us is all given to you. You accumulate virtue and do good, so let my daughter go.

Keep me, make me a servant, make me a cow or horse, chop me into meat filling, it's all fine. I beg you, old sister, I beg you, old lady!"

This passage of words kept echoing in the seedling room, gradually producing an echo.

Before the echo dissipated, Xiao Yeci repeated it again. The true voice and the echo overlapped, word by word, all hitting the heart.

Before the echo could fade, Xiao Yeci repeated it again; the true voice and the echo overlapped, and every single word struck deep into the heart.

You are a mouth cultivator. In front of men, you say two lewd words, and the man's soul is hooked away. In front of me, hurry up and put away your lewd words. I'll let you die quickly, otherwise, I'll cut the cheap skin and flesh of you two off piece by piece!"

Mouth cultivator?

Is there such a Dao sect?

What special skills does this Dao sect have?

Xiao Yeci cried: "Old lady, I don't dare to use this cultivation on you. What I said is all true. You can cut me into a thousand pieces, but spare my child's life."

The old woman sneered: "Just for this sentence, I must send you little lewd hoof on the road first!"

After saying this, the old woman grabbed Lu Chunying's hair.

Lu Chunying cried fiercely, but her hands weren't idle, scratching and hitting the old woman.

This little girl really had some courage.

Xiao Yeci was still begging: "Old lady, what I said is really true. I beg you, spare my child's life."

The old woman sneered: "The mother is dead, so why let the child live? Leaving her alone in the world is suffering, so it's better to go on the road with you."

After saying this, the old woman kicked Xiao Yeci over, added a point of strength to her hand, tightly pulled Lu Chunying's hair, turned back, and shouted: "Decai, bring the knife!"

The little girl shouted: "Mom, save me!"

Xiao Yeci rushed toward the old woman again and was kicked over by the old woman again.

"Decai, where is the knife!"

"Mom, save me!"

Eh? Who is talking?

The old woman turned back and saw her son Decai standing at the door full of tears, with a knife tip sticking out of his chest.

Li Banfeng stood behind Decai and said with a smile: "Old lady, the knife is here. I've brought it to you."

Seeing a knife stuck in her son's chest, the old woman's eyes immediately turned red.

Decai was a first-layer poison cultivator, with cultivation equivalent to Li Banfeng's, but Li Banfeng had the speed of a traveler cultivator and the characteristic of being ignored as a residential cultivator, so Decai was sneak-attacked by Li Banfeng.

"Release my son!" The old woman grabbed Lu Chunying and roared, "Otherwise I'll kill her immediately!"

Li Banfeng didn't understand the old woman's meaning: "If you want to kill her, then kill her. You don't have to tell me. She's not my child."

The old woman gritted her teeth: "Do you think I'm telling you a joke?"

Li Banfeng didn't understand even more: "What joke did you tell? What's so funny? Aren't you going to kill someone? Let's kill together; I'll join in the fun too."

After saying this, Li Banfeng held the knife and continued to stab into Decai's back. The knife tip protruding from his chest grew longer and longer.

The old woman grabbed Lu Chunying and rushed up to save her own son. Li Banfeng lifted a foot and kicked directly toward the old woman's kneecap.

This kick was very vicious and extremely effective against an enemy rushing toward him. If it hit, it could directly kick the other party into a cripple.

But Li Banfeng didn't hit, and the old woman dodged it, raising her hand to punch Li Banfeng.

This punch hit solidly, making Li Banfeng stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Impossible, what cultivation is this old woman?

Her speed is faster than a traveler cultivator?

And this strength is also surprisingly large!

Li Banfeng didn't have time to think. The old woman pulled the hairpin from her head and stabbed toward Li Banfeng's brow.

Li Banfeng crouched down and barely dodged it.

The old woman sneered in her heart. This is someone who doesn't know martial arts.

If he knew martial arts, seeing the hairpin stabbing over, he would either retreat, look up, or use a weapon to parry.

You crouched on the ground—isn't this waiting to be beaten?

The old woman raised the hairpin and stabbed toward Li Banfeng's head.

She was wrong.

Li Banfeng didn't want to wait to be beaten.

Since he was small, he had never lacked bullying and was often beaten to a crouch by others.

But crouching down doesn't mean he can't fight back.

He crouched on the ground and punched the old woman's ankle.

This punch had skill. Under normal circumstances, it could dislocate the other party's ankle joint.

The old woman took the punch solidly, but didn't dislocate.

She just staggered and wasn't injured.

It was also thanks to this stagger that the hairpin missed, not stabbing Li Banfeng's head.

What exactly is this old woman's Dao sect? She hits fast, makes ruthless moves, and can also withstand it.

Is she a food cultivator?

Doesn't look like it. No matter how much Xiao Pang eats, he definitely doesn't have this kind of speed.

Not only is the speed incomparable, but the strength is also not as good as this old woman's.

What's more fatal is that every time the old woman makes a move, Li Banfeng can't perceive the danger at all and can't make a prediction.

Relying on fists and feet definitely won't work. Li Banfeng went around behind Decai, wanting to pull the knife out.

With the old woman's skill, she could kill that mother and daughter without using a knife.

She insisted on letting Decai bring the knife, which proved that this knife was definitely unusual.

Li Banfeng wanted to pull the knife, but the old woman didn't give Li Banfeng a chance at all, lifting a foot and kicking Li Banfeng out the door.

Li Banfeng flew out several meters away. Before he could get up, the old woman suddenly appeared in front of Li Banfeng.

Teleportation?

What layer of cultivation ability is this again?

Bang!

The old woman kicked again, kicking Li Banfeng into a somersault on the spot, and he lay on the ground.

Li Banfeng didn't get up this time.

With such a speed gap, getting up would only mean being kicked.

He simply used all four limbs, crawling wildly toward the wall. This time he didn't control it at all, exerting the ability of "Wind Rising from Flat Ground" to the limit. Crawling to the wall, he didn't stop at all and climbed directly onto the wall.

Li Banfeng was about to jump outside the wall when a large willow tree in the courtyard waved its branches, Pa, and pulled Li Banfeng back.

Controlling willow branches to hit people?

This old woman can even use magic!

What exactly is this Dao sect?

Li Banfeng fell heavily to the ground, his consciousness somewhat blurred.

This old woman is so strong; why did she use poison to put me down at the beginning? Why didn't she just make a move on me directly?

The old woman wiped the sweat from her forehead. This fight consumed a lot of her energy.

She wasn't young anymore. If there were safer means, she wouldn't want to fight Li Banfeng head-on.

The old woman crouched down, raised the hairpin in her hand, and prepared to give Li Banfeng the final blow.

Li Banfeng, whose consciousness was blurred, suddenly lifted his foot and kicked the old woman in the stomach.

If it were a kick

If it had been a kick to the head, the movement would have been far too obvious, and the old woman would very likely have noticed.

But this kick to the stomach was a very subtle move; the old woman was completely off guard and was struck into a spasm, instinctively opening her mouth.

Taking advantage of her open mouth, Li Banfeng pulled out a Rust Pellet and struck it into the old woman's throat.

Within five meters.

Never missing a target.
