Chapter 917: Making a Move (2800 bonus)

A moment ago.

Seeing so many officers arrive at the inn, Li Xiao could not help but feel anxious.

After all, Zhang Chengxiang was still in the secret room!

Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have come to hold them accountable or conduct a massive search, but had merely found a place to rest.

Just as he and his aunt were busy working off their feet, he suddenly heard his wife's scream.

"Ah!"

The vegetable spatula in Li Xiao's hand fell to the ground; he rushed to the back courtyard and saw a servant-dressed lackey molesting his wife, having already torn half her clothes off!

His eyes turned red instantly, and he shouted, "How dare you?"

Zhang Chengxiang did not know how his 'martial arts had suddenly advanced' either, but he felt lucky at this moment. Seeing that he had shocked the officers holding bows and arrows and the others, he hurriedly shouted, "Prepare several fast horses for me, and kill all your own horses. Send us out of the town, and I will naturally release your Young Master... otherwise..."

Originally, his martial arts were a notch better than Li Qing's, but since his injuries had not fully healed, his power was inevitably discounted, and the two had fought to a draw. He could not help but feel secretly anxious: 'If this continues, even I will fall, so how can I save anyone?'

This lackey, relying on the influence of Zhao Jianchen, had always been accustomed to running wild. Upon arriving in such a small town, he practically wished to turn into a crab, acting even more lawless and unbridled.

Just at this moment, for some reason, his eyelids felt heavy, as if weighted with lead, and he yawned involuntarily.

"No, Noble, spare my life, Noble, spare my life!"

Li Qing was not alarmed but delighted, shouting, "Zhang Chengxiang?!"

But seeing the corpse being carried over and thinking of the hard work the other party had put into serving him, his playboy temper flared, and he shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Just beat them all to death!"

Zhang Chengxiang deployed his Judge Pen, and the two fought together, exchanging dozens of blows in an instant.

"Ah! You dare to kill?"

He immediately stepped forward and struck the lackey's occiput with his palm.

Once Li Xiao's hot blood cooled, looking at the person lying on the ground, his limbs also turned cold, and he secretly cried out, "I killed someone, I killed someone..."

"You must uphold justice for us!"

Zhang Chengxiang's face was full of despair, but at this moment he could only channel his power to the twelfth level, striking out with both palms like a landslide!

The next moment, no one noticed a Gu Insect, much smaller than a mosquito, crawl into the nose of this Evil Sect Grandmaster!

He applied a little force with his hand, and Zhao Jianchen let out a scream: "Quick, quick, do as he says!"

Seeing Zhang Chengxiang attacking, an old servant who had been following behind him without much presence stood out, his Innate True Qi erupting—the very image of a Grandmaster!

This was a once-famous Evil Sect expert in the martial arts world who, because the evil arts he practiced required drinking the heart blood of young boys, had committed a great taboo and was hunted by countless martial arts experts, forcing him to take refuge in the Zhao Mansion for Protection.

Li Xiao's head was dizzy, but he saw his aunt rush out, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing repeatedly, and he could not help but weep bitterly.

His internal power was insufficient, and the weapon in his hand was also a fraction slower; he watched helplessly as the Judge Pen pierced his neck, taking his life!

It was Aaron, who, mindful of their past friendship, could not help but intervene.

Li Qing was just about to show off in front of the Noble and, not to be outdone, stepped forward, his palm pressing toward the top of Li Xiao's head.

Seeing the fierce officers approaching, accustomed to being law-abiding citizens, he did not dare to resist, allowing the other party to lock his neck with iron chains and take him to the front hall, where he knelt on the ground with his wife.

A figure flashed out from the darkness—it was Zhang Chengxiang!

Hearing the commotion outside, he had slipped out, focusing his power into his ears to eavesdrop.

But he had no time to think; feeling a pain in his throat, he was grabbed and lifted by Zhang Chengxiang like a small chick, who shouted, "If you don't want him to die, don't come over!"

Zhao Jianchen shouted, and Li Qing had already leaped forward, a strange weapon appearing in his hand—a greenish wheel coated with deadly poison.

During this period, according to the records in the Ten Thousand Gu Book, he had tried to refine several types of Gu Insects. This 'Sleepy Gu' was of no use against cultivators who had refined Dharma Power, but it was foolproof when used to ambush mortals below the Condensing Sha realm.

A pebble flew out, striking Li Qing's wrist.

"Young Master, Lai Er's wife only said a few words to this waiter's woman, and this waiter beat him to death..."

He also knew what kind of person his servant was, knowing that it was likely they who had provoked the trouble first.

In his rage, Li Xiao attacked with all his might, not thinking of the consequences at all.

He never expected that when he molested a village woman, her husband would dare to resist!

Pfft!

Amidst the splashing blood, 'Swallow' Li Qing fell to the ground, dead with his eyes wide open!

Zhang Chengxiang did not expect that a casual move of his could avenge his sworn brother's Blood Sea vendetta. At this moment, he was single-minded, with eyes only for the noble Young Master, Zhao Jianchen.

However, as a prominent family, they also harbored many martial arts experts.

"Sigh!"

This time when Zhao Jianchen went out, he had a martial arts expert for personal Protection.

By now, relying on that evil art, he had also successfully entered the Innate realm, becoming a Martial Arts Master!

To take down a mere Zhang Chengxiang was truly a task he could handle with ease.

He actually knew every scene that happened in the front hall.

Several servants nearby immediately screamed, calling the officers over.

At this moment, he truly could not bear to see Li Xiao's family implicated and killed, so he jumped out.

"Catch him, and this Young Master will reward you heavily!"

This Evil Sect Grandmaster had refined a body of evil True Qi, but at this moment he felt a foreign object enter his body. In his great alarm, he had no time to use his True Qi to fight the enemy, withdrawing it all to protect himself, only to be struck squarely on the forehead by Zhang Chengxiang's palm!

Looking at the detectives surrounding him from all sides, Zhang Chengxiang hardened his heart. With a move of 'Laboring Swallow Flying Apart', he used one Judge Pen as a hidden weapon to strike at Li Qing, while he himself flew toward Zhao Jianchen!

He saw the situation clearly and knew that to survive and save people, his only chance was to capture this noble Young Master as a hostage!

Seeing the hidden weapon coming, Li Qing did not even think, his Flying Swallow Wheel ready to parry.

The previous Li Qing had been finished off just like that, with a Sleepy Gu entering his brain, leaving him confused.

He immediately struck him, causing his brains to splatter as he died!

Zhao Jianchen had originally been confident, but he had not expected his own expert to be so incompetent!

Li Qing was one thing, but Gui Lao was an expert sent by his father to protect him; how could he have been beaten to death just like that?

The servant was struck on the back of the head and instantly collapsed to the ground, his face as pale as gold paper.

"You..."

Just at this moment, a sigh rang out.

A group of servants and laborers knelt on the ground, wailing and howling, which made Zhao Jianchen inexplicably annoyed.

When experts exchange blows, victory or defeat lies only in a hair's breadth!

How could one allow for this yawn?

Zhang Chengxiang kicked the still dazed Li Xiao again and barked, "What are you still standing there for? If you don't want to die, get up quickly, pack your valuables, and come with me!"

Li Xiao shuddered and hurriedly scrambled to his feet, still finding it hard to believe: 'Am I really... about to flee to the ends of the earth?'

The update tomorrow morning might be delayed.
