After looking at the panel, Lin Feng continued to wander around the shantytown.

He knew that Xu Qiang would definitely be looking for him at this moment.

Let's see who comes out on top tonight!

Xu Qiang and Sun Ming patrolled in different directions.

He walked for a long time and encountered many Demon Purging Division trainees, but he didn't see Lin Feng's figure.

As he walked further, he found the area to be very remote and felt that Lin Feng probably wouldn't come this way.

"It seems he should be in Sun Ming's area."

Xu Qiang said, then walked in the opposite direction!

"Who's there!"

At this moment, a figure flickered behind him.

Xu Qiang only then realized that someone had been following him without him knowing when.

He shouted at the person and then, with a swish, drew his saber.

"Boss, it's me! Little Liu!"

At this moment, a voice came.

Xu Qiang, using the faint firelight, saw that the person approaching was Liu Mancang, who had recently joined the yamen and was under his command.

This Liu Mancang had good talent; he had cultivated to Skin Refining Perfection before the age of twenty.

Moreover, he knew how to please people; he had already gifted him a considerable amount of silver upon joining.

It's just that for some reason, this Little Liu always gave him a sense of déjà vu!

"So it's Little Liu, why are you here!"

Seeing that it was Liu Mancang, Xu Qiang lowered his guard.

"Boss, you don't know, the Chief Constable sent us to find you."

As he spoke, Liu Mancang approached Xu Qiang.

"Find me? What's wrong?"

Xu Qiang asked urgently, thinking something had happened after he left the team!

"Boss, be careful behind you!"

At this moment, Liu Mancang showed a shocked expression!

He pointed behind him with one finger.

Hearing this, Xu Qiang thought it was a monster and quickly turned around.

But when he looked, the area behind him was empty, with no monster appearing at all.

"Not good!"

Xu Qiang instinctively felt something was wrong!

But Liu Mancang's hand had already produced a dagger, which he plunged towards Xu Qiang's lower back!

At this moment, Liu Mancang's face showed a sinister grin!

He twisted the dagger in his hand, intending to shred Xu Qiang's internal organs!

But what felt strange to him was that Xu Qiang's condition seemed off.

He didn't feel weak, and the dagger in his hand felt wrong!

It was as if he had stabbed a hard stone!

At this moment, Xu Qiang turned and slapped directly at Liu Mancang's chest!

Liu Mancang felt as if he had been hit by a wild ox, his body flying back three to four meters.

He tumbled several times before finally stopping.

He let out a "wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face incredibly pale!

"How can this be!"

Liu Mancang's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't understand why his dagger couldn't injure Xu Qiang!

"Hmph! Kid, who exactly are you? You're only at Outer Refinement Realm Perfection, and you think you can hurt me!

Do you think I practiced Iron Shirt for nothing?"

The next moment, Xu Qiang leaped forward, pressing his saber against Liu Mancang's neck.

"Speak! Otherwise, just for daring to attack your superior, I can execute you on the spot!"

"Heh heh! Xu Qiang, have you forgotten what you and your brother did back then?"

At this moment, Liu Mancang seemed to have accepted his fate, revealing a look of unwillingness!

"Back then? The Zhang Family?"

Xu Qiang finally realized why Liu Mancang had seemed familiar the first time he saw him.

"So you're the son of my sworn brother, Zhang Wenyuan!

No wonder you looked so familiar.

What, you don't even know to greet your uncle, and instead draw weapons?

You said you escaped, so you should have stayed hidden. Why come out to court death!"

Xu Qiang squatted down, a look of delight on his face!

"Pah! You treacherous villain! Back then, my father treated you better than his own brother!

And you murdered my father to seize the Zhang Family's assets!

How dare you call yourself my uncle!"

Liu Mancang spat a mouthful of blood towards Xu Qiang, spraying it onto his face.

Xu Qiang wasn't angered; instead, he felt a perverted pleasure.

He licked the blood from his face with his tongue.

"That's right, I did it back then. Your father once told me that what was his was mine!

We were as close as brothers.

Even your mother, I eventually shared her!

So delicious!

Hahaha!"

As he spoke, Xu Qiang burst into laughter!

"Treacherous villain, beast!"

Liu Mancang struggled and lunged to bite Xu Qiang, as if he wanted to tear off a piece of flesh even in death!

But Liu Mancang exerted all his strength, yet he couldn't even leave a single tooth mark on Xu Qiang's skin!

With a slight movement of Xu Qiang's left hand, with a crack, Liu Mancang's arm bone was dislocated!

At this moment, Liu Mancang endured the pain. His eyes shifted to behind Xu Qiang, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Hmph, you're still trying to trick me with monsters? Today, Uncle will have some fun with you!"

Xu Qiang paid no attention to Liu Mancang's expression.

He was about to strike again, to slowly dislocate each of Liu Mancang's bones one by one!

A swish sound of a blade entering flesh was heard.

Simultaneously, a spray of blood erupted!

Xu Qiang let out a groan, then rolled forward, dodging the next attack!

"Niu Qi!!!"

"You dare ambush me, you son of a bitch! Have you got the guts of a bear?"

Xu Qiang looked closely and discovered that the one who ambushed him was none other than Niu Qi, a hall master of the Great Saber Gang!

The intelligence Sun Ming had received earlier was even from Niu Qi!

"Dog thief, look who I am!

Today, I will avenge my master!

Take your life!"

At this moment, Niu Qi tore off a mask, revealing a face familiar to Xu Qiang!

It was Zhang Family's house servant, Liu Qi!

"Liu Qi!"

At this moment, Xu Qiang finally understood. Back then, they should have wiped out Zhang Wenyuan's entire family!

But in the end, only Liu Mancang, a child, escaped.

It was this house servant Liu Qi who took him away!

He never expected this guy to be so daring and fierce, becoming a hall master of the Great Saber Gang and cultivating to the current mid-stage Bone Forging Realm!

"Hmph, just a mid-stage Bone Forging Realm like you! You still want my life!"

Xu Qiang raised the saber in his hand, its light flashing, and the two collided!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves had passed.

Liu Qi was only at the mid-stage Bone Forging Realm after all. Even if Xu Qiang was injured, he was no match for him!

At this moment, Liu Qi had already been struck by Xu Qiang several times!

Yet, he still fought desperately.

He didn't flinch!

"What a loyal dog. Today, I'll let you reunite with your master!"

Just as Xu Qiang was about to attack again, he suddenly knelt down, spitting out a mouthful of black blood!

"That saber was poisoned!"

Only then did Xu Qiang discover it!

"Hmph! I said I would take your dog's life today!"

At this moment, Liu Qi looked at Xu Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and helped up the fallen Liu Mancang.

"Young Master, today is the chance to avenge our master! Come!"

Saying that, Liu Qi handed the saber in his hand to Liu Mancang!

"Father, Mother, your son can finally avenge you!"

Countless times, Liu Mancang had dreamt of his childhood memories in nightmares!

Now, it was all going to end!

Liu Mancang raised the saber in his hand, about to decapitate Xu Qiang!

Suddenly, a dark-looking sleeve dart appeared in Xu Qiang's hand, aimed at Liu Mancang and Liu Qi!

"Young Master, be careful!"

A furious roar came. Liu Qi had discovered the hidden weapon in Xu Qiang's hand.

He then pushed Liu Mancang, who was beside him, away, and leaped out himself.

But it was too late!

Xu Qiang's sleeve dart shone with a dark luster, and the next moment, hundreds of needles burst out.

They shot towards the two!

Liu Mancang, who was thrown out first by Liu Qi, was grazed by a silver needle and his head hit the ground.

He fainted immediately.

Liu Qi, however, was a beat slower trying to save him and half his body was riddled with needles like a hedgehog!

Soon, he spat out black blood from his mouth.

His body began to stiffen!

"Heh, eunuch, you, you won't die a good death!"

"How dare you ambush me! Now you're just another soul under my blade!"

Xu Qiang forced himself to stand up, anger flashing in his eyes!

Back then, after he had defiled and killed Zhang Wenyuan's wife, he was hit in the groin by a hidden weapon.

It seemed this Liu Qi was the one who did it.

But Liu Qi's gaze seemed a bit strange, as if he was looking behind him!

Xu Qiang felt a sense of unease. Why did something always seem to go wrong behind him tonight?

When he turned around, a cold light flashed!

A butcher knife, magnified in his eyes!
