He was being watched by all, Li Qingshan was trapped in the cage, and he was reluctant to embarrass himself, so he said in a tough manner, “What about it?”
Li Qingshan no longer paid any more attention to him. He continued, “Yue Ruyong, you loved to kidnap the children of wealthy families for ransom. If they were bold enough to report it to the authorities, or they refused to pay the ransom, you would cut off the ears or fingers of the children one by one, delivering it to their families. Am I right?”
Yue Ruyong had vicious eyes and pointed ears with a cold expression. He sneered. “Those kiddos are born more fortunate than everyone else. Of course, they should suffer a little.”
Li Qingshan no longer paid any more attention to him either. He just named these people one by one until he reached the very end. “As for the people who were not mentioned, whether you’re a thief or a bandit, or whether you’ve helped propagate evil, committed countless crimes of evil yourself, or are hatching sinister plots, you cannot be forgiven for your crimes, and you will be executed on the spot according to the laws of Great Xia.”
“And you, Shen Xihua. You will pay for what you have done!”
Everyone laughed aloud, “Just by you?” “Has he lost his mind?” “We do need to kill him!” However, the laughter gradually subsided.
All they saw was Li Qingshan standing up from the armed chair and grabbing the bars of the Daemon-trapping Cage of Bi’an with both hands before pulling at the bars. His flesh swelled, his muscles bulged, and his clothes ripped.
Blue light that seemed like electricity flowed through the bars, gathering in Li Qingshan’s hands. He felt like he was being stabbed by hundreds of needles. Obviously, he did not pay too much attention to something insignificant like that. However, despite his brute force, the bars still failed to budge.
After being taken aback, Shen Xihua eased up. “It’s useless. My Daemon-trapping Cage of Bi’an is not something you can destroy.”
The masters from the blacklist all sneered as well. They looked at Li Qingshan like he was a dumb, wild beast.
Li Qingshan’s hair was draped down, so it covered his face. However, the corner of his lips had also curled into a smile. It seemed slightly twisted.
“What’s this?!” Shen Xihua sensed the change in Li Qingshan’s aura first. Only a Qi Practitioner like him could sense a change like that.
However, soon afterwards, everyone saw the change with Li Qingshan’s body. Li Qingshan’s tall, sturdy body seemed to become even taller. His dark hair shone with a smear of scarlet, while his bronze skin seemed to grow darker. In particular, his arms actually became black like iron.
Creak. The metal cage twisted painfully. The blue electricity became more and more intense, but it was unable to stop the reality of the bars that were as thick as a person’s arm being gradually pulled apart.
Shen Xihua took a step back, “T- that’s impossible! Y- you’re-” Afterwards, he yelled out, “Everyone, get him together! Kill him!”
The masters of the blacklist knew that they could not be soft-hearted here. They made up their minds and charged over together. They swung their various weapons towards Li Qingshan. The blades, spears, swords, and halberds all shone with light. They feared that Li Qingshan would actually break out, so they wanted to make use of the time while he was busy to deal a killing blow. However, Shen Xihua had already backed away quietly.
Chapter 157: The Vicious Tiger Emerges from the Cage | Legend of the Great Sage
Many boats of various sizes were docked at the wharf.
The drizzle continued to pour down, creating countless ripples on the lake’s surface. A thin layer of fog formed above the lake. The firelight in the glazed covers on the boats created a hazy yellow. Everything seemed peaceful.
Many men were left behind to watch over the boats to prevent anyone from severing their path of retreat. Inside their cabins, they all discussed the great laughter from the island earlier.
With a thunk, a double-masted boat seemed to hit something. It shook violently before rapidly sinking.
The men left behind on the boats all heard that. They emerged on their decks and saw the boat of the Blue Wolf gang sink. Apart from the people of the Blue Wolf gang who fell into panic, the others all stood on their decks and laughed aloud, watching on leisurely.
However, there was another great thunk very soon, and another boat began to sink slowly. A third soon followed.
Everyone all sensed that something was wrong. They called out, “What’s going on?” “Oh no, there’s a water ghost sinking the ships!” “If you can swim, go down and take a look!”
By water ghost , they were obviously not talking about an actual ghost, but someone lurking under the water.
Immediately, over a dozen able-bodied figures leapt into the water. After their eyes grew accustomed to the darkness in the water, they became stunned. All they saw was two large balls of fire, red in the centre and white on the edges, in the pitch-black, icy depths. None of them had ever seen such brilliant, lively fire before.
The fire rapidly expanded as they grew closer. They finally could see the source of the two balls of fire now. They could not help but become dumbfounded.
It was a huge skull that stood even taller than a man, like the skull of a giant. However, it seemed like it had been revived from the abyss of hell right now. Its eye sockets were brimming with lively fire as it looked at them brilliantly.
Afterwards, it opened its mouth and lunged towards them. The same kind of fire burned within its mouth like gates to the furnace of hell.
Xiao An stood in the pitch-black depths with his hands together in a prayer position. He controlled the Skull Prayer Beads and swallowed these people one by one before smashing it towards the other ships. The huge skull would immediately leave behind a great hole after a single collision.
With each thunk, a boat sank.
On the wharf, no one could hide their fear anymore. The boats were all destroyed, and the people who had entered the water had not emerged either. They had no idea what was hiding in the water. They were trapped here now.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! There was a string of gentle sounds, and the people on the shore collapsed on the ground like puppets cut from their strings.
Everyone cried out, “There’s an enemy attack!” “Where?” “Get out here! Get out here for me!”
No one could see the white streak that rushed through the rainy night. The Skull Prayer Beads had already reverted to their original, bead-like form, moving rapidly through the rain; it was like a sixth layer Qi Practitioner controlling an artifact. It was not something these people of the jianghu could discover.
Even more people collapsed on the ground. The cowardly swung their weapons wildly. They looked around, but all they saw was the dark of night. The calmer people tried to find out the reason for the deaths of the others. Very soon, they discovered a thumb-sized hole that connected their chest and back, but there was not a shred of blood from the wounds at all.
Just as they contemplated this, someone shouted out, “It seems to be… fire!”
The other people also discovered that the holes seemed to possess a speck of firelight. The wounds rapidly grew, and the holes grew as well. However, not a single droplet of blood was shed the entire time. The fire devoured the flesh and blood of the deceased quietly.
