After looking over the panel, Lin Feng continued wandering through the Shantytown.
He knew Xu Qiang was surely searching for him as well.
Tonight, they would see who would be the deer and who the hunter!
Xu Qiang and Sun Ming headed off in different directions to patrol.
He walked for a long time and encountered quite a few Demon Purging Division trainees, yet never saw any sign of Lin Feng.
The farther he went, the more remote the place became. He felt that Lin Feng probably would not have come this way.
"Looks like he should be over by Sun Ming."
Xu Qiang muttered, then headed in the opposite direction!
"Who's there?!"
At that moment, a figure flickered behind him.
Only then did Xu Qiang realize that someone had somehow been following him.
He shouted at that person, then drew his saber with a clang.
"Boss, it's me! Little Liu!"
A voice came from ahead.
By the faint firelight, Xu Qiang finally saw that the newcomer was Liu Mancang, who had recently joined the yamen and been assigned under his command.
This Liu Mancang had decent talent. He had reached Skin Refining Perfection before even turning twenty.
He also knew how to handle people. The moment he joined, he had already offered Xu Qiang quite a bit of silver.
Yet for some reason, this Little Liu had always given him a strange feeling of familiarity!
"So it's Little Liu. What are you doing here?"
Seeing that it was Liu Mancang, Xu Qiang let down his guard.
"Boss, you don't know? The Chief Constable sent us to look for you."
As he spoke, Liu Mancang moved closer to Xu Qiang.
"Looking for me? What happened?"
Xu Qiang thought something had happened after he left the group and hurriedly asked.
"Boss, watch out behind you!"
Liu Mancang suddenly revealed a shocked expression!
He pointed behind Xu Qiang with one hand.
Hearing this, Xu Qiang thought it was a demon and hurriedly spun around.
But when he looked, there was nothing behind him. Not a single demon was there.
"Not good!"
Xu Qiang instinctively sensed something was wrong!
But a Dagger had already appeared in Liu Mancang's hand, stabbing toward Xu Qiang's lower back!
A savage grin spread across Liu Mancang's face!
The Dagger in his hand twisted relentlessly, trying to shred Xu Qiang's internal organs!
But something felt strange to him. Xu Qiang's condition was not right.
Xu Qiang showed no signs of weakening, and the feeling from the Dagger in his hand was clearly wrong!
It was as though he had stabbed a hard stone!
At that moment, Xu Qiang turned around and struck directly at Liu Mancang's chest with his palm!
Liu Mancang was sent flying three or four meters away as though a wild bull had slammed into him.
He rolled several times before finally coming to a stop.
With a wail, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned incomparably pale!
"How could this be?!"
Liu Mancang's face was filled with disbelief. He could not understand why his Dagger could not injure Xu Qiang!
"Hmph! Brat, who exactly are you? A mere Skin Refining Perfection cultivator thinks he can injure me?
Did you think I cultivated my Iron Shirt for nothing?"
The next instant, Xu Qiang leaped forward and pressed his saber against Liu Mancang's throat.
"Speak! Otherwise, just for daring to attack your superior, I can execute you on the spot!"
"Hehe! Xu Qiang, have you forgotten what you and your brother did back then?"
At that moment, Liu Mancang seemed to have accepted his fate, his face revealing unwillingness!
"Back then? The Zhang Family?"
Only then did Xu Qiang understand why Liu Mancang had seemed somewhat 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, when you see your uncle, you don't even know to call out to him? Instead, you start waving blades and weapons around?
You escaped, so you should have hidden properly. Why come out just to throw your life away?"
Xu Qiang crouched down, a delighted expression on his face!
"Pah! You treacherous villain! Back then, my father treated you even better than a blood brother!
Yet you murdered my father just to seize my Zhang Family's property!
And you still have the face to call yourself my uncle!"
Liu Mancang spat a mouthful of blood at Xu Qiang. It splashed across his face.
Xu Qiang did not get angry. Instead, he felt a twisted thrill.
He licked the blood from his face.
"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 was ultimately shared by me!
She was very supple!
Hahaha!"
As he spoke, Xu Qiang laughed!
"Treacherous villain! Beast!"
Liu Mancang struggled and bit toward Xu Qiang, seemingly determined to tear off a piece of his flesh even in death!
But even using all his strength, Liu Mancang could not leave so much as a tooth mark on Xu Qiang's skin!
With a slight movement of Xu Qiang's left hand, there was a crack, and Liu Mancang's arm bone was already dislocated!
Liu Mancang endured the pain and looked past Xu Qiang, a trace of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"Hmph, still trying to trick me with demons? Today, your uncle will give you a good, painful lesson!"
Xu Qiang paid no heed to Liu Mancang's expression.
He immediately prepared to strike again, intending to slowly take apart every bone in his body one by one!
With a wet pfft, the sound of a sharp blade entering flesh rang out.
At the same time, a spray of blood shot forth!
Xu Qiang let out a miserable howl, then rolled forward, evading the next attack!
"Niu Qi!!!"
"You fucking dare to ambush me? Have you eaten a bear's heart and leopard's gall?!"
Xu Qiang focused his eyes and discovered that the one who had ambushed him was Niu Qi, a hall master of the Great Saber Gang!
Niu Qi had even been the one to provide him with Sun Ming's intelligence earlier!
"Dog bastard, take a good look at who I am!
Today, I will avenge my master!
Give me your life!"
Niu Qi tore off a mask, revealing a face Xu Qiang recognized!
It was Liu Qi, a servant of the Zhang Family!
"Liu Qi!"
Now Xu Qiang understood. Back then, Zhang Wenyuan's entire household should have been exterminated!
Yet in the end, Liu Mancang, a child of only a few years old, had escaped.
It was this servant Liu Qi who had taken him away!
He had not expected this man to dare to fight and risk his life, becoming a hall master of the Great Saber Gang and cultivating to the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm!
"Hmph, with just your middle-stage Bone Forging Realm cultivation, you think you can take my life?!"
Xu Qiang raised his saber. Saber light flashed as the two collided!
In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged dozens of moves.
Liu Qi was only at the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm after all. Even though Xu Qiang was injured, he was still not someone Liu Qi could contend against!
By now, Liu Qi had already been struck several times by Xu Qiang's saber!
Yet he still fought as though he were risking his life.
He did not retreat!
"What a loyal dog. Today, I'll send you to reunite with your master!"
Just as Xu Qiang was about to attack again, he suddenly dropped to his knees and spat out a mouthful of black blood!
"Poison was smeared on that blade!"
Only then did Xu Qiang realize it!
"Hmph! I told you, today I will take your dog life!"
Liu Qi looked at Xu Qiang kneeling on the ground and helped the fallen Liu Mancang to his feet!
"Young Master, today is our chance to avenge Master! Here!"
As he spoke, Liu Qi handed the saber in his hand to Liu Mancang!
"Father, Mother, your son can finally avenge you!"
Countless times, Liu Mancang had dreamed nightmares of memories from his childhood!
Now, everything was about to end!
Liu Mancang raised the saber in his hand, about to chop off Xu Qiang's head!
Suddenly, a black tube appeared in Xu Qiang's hand! It was aimed at Liu Mancang and Liu Qi!
"Young Master, be careful!"
A furious roar rang out as Liu Qi spotted the hidden weapon in Xu Qiang's hand.
He then shoved Liu Mancang beside him away and leaped out himself.
But it was already too late!
The tube in Xu Qiang's hand gleamed with a dark luster. The next instant, hundreds of needles erupted from it.
They shot toward the two of them!
Liu Mancang had been thrown away first by Liu Qi. A silver needle grazed him, then his head slammed against the ground.
He fainted on the spot.
Liu Qi had been a beat too slow in saving him. Half his body was shot full of needles, making him look like a hedgehog!
Before long, black blood flowed from his mouth.
His body began to stiffen!
"Heh, eunuch dog, you... you will die a miserable death!"
"You dared to ambush me, and now you've still become a dead soul beneath my hand!"
Xu Qiang forced himself to stand, fury flashing through his eyes!
Back then, after he had raped and murdered Zhang Wenyuan's wife, he had unexpectedly been struck in the crotch by a hidden weapon.
It seemed Liu Qi had been the one behind it.
But Liu Qi's gaze seemed somewhat strange, as though he were looking behind Xu Qiang!
Xu Qiang sensed something wrong. Why did it seem as though something kept going wrong behind him tonight?
When he turned around, a cold gleam flashed!
A butcher's knife grew larger and larger in his eyes!
