“You!” Zhang Lanqing was left speechless as he pointed at He Yishi. No matter how he looked at it, He Yishi and the others would all be dead once those Hawkwolf guards killed Li Qingshan.
Jin Yuan lowered his head and grumbled slightly ,”Senior brother Zhang, you’re a fifth layer Qi Practitioner! We’re not as powerful as you, so if we stay behind, we’ll just make things more troublesome instead.” You’re strong, so of course you’re confident. We’re weak, so we’ll be killed very easily.
“You three idiots!” Hao Pingyang was extremely disappointed in his three junior brothers. Not only was this traitorous behaviour, it was foolish as well. Once the Hawkwolf guards killed Li Qingshan, wouldn’t they come to silence them as well? They were as foolish as they could get for not trying to pool their strength together, instead seeking temporary safety.
He raised his hand up high. This was no longer messing around with his junior brothers, but a heavy hand bearing his exasperation and disappointment in them. He wanted to smack them to their senses, but the hand was caught by Li Qingshan.
The hearts of people were not exactly dark, but they were not exactly bright either. A calculating aspect of personal interests would always exist in the mind of every single person, but everyone’s choices would be different. In the face of true, life-threatening danger, just who could stick it out with you?
Li Qingshan wanted to scorn them with laughter, but he continued to smile. “They’re right. You won’t be able to help me much. You’ve witnessed my abilities as a Body Practitioner as well. It’ll be easier if I flee by myself. However, Xiao An will be staying with me.”
With that, Li Qingshan leapt off from the back of the boat with Xiao An gently before Hao Pingyang could try to persuade him any further. He said, “Take care! I’ll see you later!” With that, he vanished into the dark cavern.
Zhang Lanqing was still stunned. He Yishi rushed over and took over control of the boat, steering it towards another cave that led to the Zombie Daoist’s den. They parted there.
Actually, Li Qingshan did not have particularly high hopes for them. Although he had never seen the Zombie Daoist, he could tell just how cautious and crafty their opponent would be from the two times they had clashed. If the Zombie Daoist was not completely confident in achieving victory, he would definitely vanish into the caves that were as complicated as a spider’s nest. If he chose to remain, that would be rather terrifying.
Only people who hid their strength like Li Qingshan could ignore this danger. However, the disciples of mohism had already demonstrated how strong they were on the way here.
Of course, he would not take pleasure in their misfortune, hoping that they would all die. He was not so narrow-minded. Moreover, Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing had shown him plenty of gratitude and loyalty. He truly hoped they would be safe.
However, he was neither a babysitter, nor was he a saint. As long as he maintained a clear conscience and did whatever he could, he would leave the rest to fate. He would leave it up for them to choose!
Zhuo Zhibo sensed the two auras in the two caves as he arrived with his Black Wolf guards. Li Qingshan was not trying to hide himself.
Ge Jian asked, “Commander, which path do we take first?”
Zhuo Zhibo said, “Let’s kill Li Qingshan first. We can deal with the disciples of mohism slowly.” This was his main objective in the first place.
As the aura drew closer, Li Qingshan smiled. He used the ability to control water from the spirit turtle’s daemon core to walk on the surface of the water, charging forwards. The walls around him rapidly receded, sometimes sinking and sometimes turning, like it went on forever. He constantly encountered new forks and chose between them without any hesitation at all.
Suddenly, the gurgling of water rang out from ahead. Li Qingshan felt like he had returned to the days he spent cultivating under the waterfall in the mountains, listening to this sound every day. The sound grew louder and louder until it became deafening. The area in front of him opened up as the rushing, underground water suddenly plummeted, forming an underground waterfall.
Li Qingshan leapt several dozen meters into the air and landed on an island in the water. He looked at his surroundings and the entire area was empty. It was a huge cavern, around half the size of a soccer pitch. It was enough for him to daemonify and move about freely.
This was not a coincidence. Instead, it was the battlefield he had chosen when the mechanical bugs had searched through the cave. Perhaps, it would be more apt for him to call this place the burial ground for these Hawkwolf guards. Looking at it in person, it seemed even more perfect than how it seemed on the map from the mechanical bugs. He breathed in deeply and shot a glance at Xiao An. Xiao An immediately submerged herself in the water.
Without waiting for too long, killing intent rushed into the cavern. Li Qingshan raised his head and saw Zhuo Zhibo and his Black Wolf guards fly down from the waterfall, landing in front of him. They scattered quickly and surrounded him.
Zhuo Zhibo said coldly, “I’ve finally caught you!”
Li Qingshan smiled, “No, I’ve caught you!”
Chapter 176: Killing Zhuo Zhibo (One) | Legend of the Great Sage
The waterfall gurgled endlessly in the gloomy depths. The underground river plunged off the edge, falling into an underground lake in the large cavern. A tiny island protruded from the lake.
Zhuo Zhibo and the seven Black Wolf guards surrounded Li Qingshan. Every single one of them sneered. Ge Jian said, “Kid, don’t tell me you’ve lost your mind from fear!”
“Don’t waste any words on him. Just kill him!” said a Black Wolf guard impatiently.
Xie Nande added, “Yeah, commander. We still need to chase down those disciples of mohism.”
“I have my plans!”
Zhuo Zhibo seemed to enjoy the current feeling very much. He raised his hand to silence the Black Wolf guards and said to Li Qingshan, “Do you regret becoming enemies with me now? If you knew how to conduct yourself and showed a little respect when you first arrived in Jiaping, I wouldn’t have wanted to kill you so much. If you kneel and beg me right now, I might spare you.” The feeling of absolute power over the weak would always bring him great pleasure.
Li Qingshan lowered his head to look at the embroidery on his Black Wolf uniform. “The uniform depicts a wolf, not a dog!” Seeing how he pissed off the seven Black Wolf guards, he raised his head. “Don’t get mad. There’s nothing wrong with being the powerful’s dog, but I just happen to dislike that.”
Cold light flashed through Zhuo Zhibo’s eyes. With a wave of his hand, a small, shining blade appeared in his grasps. “Before I kill you, there are some things I want to ask you about. If you answer them honestly, I’ll give you a quicker death…”
“Don’t worry. No matter what you say, I’ll give you all a quick death.” Li Qingshan interrupted him with a sneer as the canines in his mouth seemed longer than usual.
Suddenly, Zhuo Zhibo felt a terrifyingly powerful daemon qi erupt from Li Qingshan’s body, kicking up a violent gust of wind in the cavern. The Black Wolf guards all raised their hands in fright as they stared at Li Qingshan in disbelief.
Li Qingshan pulled off the Black Wolf uniform on him, revealing his sturdy chest. His bronze skin gradually darkened, gaining the lustre of steel. Two specks of light lit up in his eyes as his black hair turned scarlet, draping down. He rapidly grew taller—three feet, five feet, seven feet… However, he was unable to reach the ceiling. His aura rapidly rose as well, until it reached the very peak.
