"Hey, isn't this Li Qi? Tsk tsk tsk, I heard you killed someone and went on the run. What, you're actually back? Aren't you afraid of the authorities? You're right here. You caused a death, and you ran away, fine, but now you're back. Do you really think the Yamen care about your year-end bonuses?" Zhang Caitou made strange noises when he saw Li Qi return, clicking his tongue incessantly.

This is why Li Qi ran away in the first place.

If someone commits murder and flees, that's fine. The officials treat it as if nothing happened, don't file a case, and nothing is done because nobody cares.

But if they stay put, they wouldn't mind arresting them along the way to boost their year-end performance.

Li Qi shook his head and didn't say anything more.

However, Zhang Caitou suddenly discovered that there was another person in front of him.

Wow, so fast!

How did he rush up to me without making a sound?!

Of course it's fast!

In the mountains, Li Qi could wrestle with a mountain goat in the blink of an eye, and his burst speed could cover a mile in ten seconds.

That's a mountain path; you have to climb and jump to get there.

At that moment, with no obstruction in the straight line, Zhang Caitou didn't even have time to react before he saw a dark figure rushing towards him!

The next second, everything went black before his eyes, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

Several seconds later, Zhang Caitou finally felt... pain.

Pain attacks from all around the body.

The pain in his chest was particularly intense! He instinctively knelt down, curled up like a shrimp, and coughed.

"Cough cough... cough cough... vomit!"

He was coughing and vomiting, and even lost control of his bladder.

Saliva, tears, vomit, snot, and urine were all mixed together. He lay limp in the pile of filth he had produced, his eyes lifeless. He could feel nothing but pain and nausea.

That's for sure. Li Qi punched him squarely in the chest and abdomen, breaking several ribs in the process, and he might even have suffered internal bleeding. The fact that he didn't die from that punch is a testament to his robust physique.

"Hey, Zhang Caitou, stop worrying about peeing. What's up? Didn't you want to ask what the good news is?" Li Qi squatted down, looked at Zhang Caitou, and said calmly, "The good news for the Wave-Pushing Gang is that I'm back, that's why everyone's so happy. Is there a problem?"

However, Zhang Caitou could no longer answer him.

His mind was blank; he could no longer see Venus, but darkness. His whole body was convulsing from the intense pain. His vision was completely black, and his ears were ringing. He was clearly unable to answer Li Qi's question.

Even a ninth-rank martial artist like Zhang Caitou, if attacked by twenty of them together, would only take two or three seconds.

After reaching the highest level, they are fundamentally different from ordinary people.

The other boatmen, however, are now completely silent.

Their necks looked rusty as they stared blankly at Li Qi.

I know that Brother Li has become stronger since he came back.

... Zhang Caitou also had a couple hundred farmers under his command. His Cultivation Method allowed him to use the earth's strength to 'take root' in the ground, just like grass and trees. He was said to be able to withstand a full-force ramming by a bull without being knocked back, as long as he was standing on the ground.

This is already terrifying. The bull in this world is like a light tank from World War II. It was charged by a tank and then forced to stop by its own body...

This is Zhang Caitou's strength, and it's also the reason why he dared to come Wave-Pushing Gang alone.

Once he arrived, even the Wave-Pushing Gang couldn't keep him.

However, Zhang Caitou, who was known for not being able to back down even if he was hit by a bull, was punched by Li Qi and was forced to cower on the ground like a shrimp. Apart from vomiting and crying, he couldn't even speak.

With the ninth rank of martial arts and the explosive power of the Carp Flowing Intent, a full-force strike can reach 20,000 to 30,000 jin, which is the strength of four oxen.

Moreover, the area of force applied by a fist is much smaller.

After delivering the punch, Li Qi frowned at the stunned crowd, stood up, and waved his hand. "What are you standing there for? Waiting for him to wake up? Haven't you ever done this kind of thing with me before?"

These words immediately brought the boatmen to their senses.

They immediately became excited and cheered. Some people looked for sticks, some for ropes, and they quickly and methodically prepared to break Zhang Caitou's toes to prevent him from running away. Then they tied him up tightly with ropes and hung him up.

This is something I'm very familiar with.

Fighting and risking their lives among low-level gangs is commonplace; Li Qi had led his men in doing this kind of thing many times before!

At this moment, the reminder immediately restored the muscle memory of the many boat trackers. They rushed up, skillfully breaking legs, binding people, and hanging them up, laughing as they did so, and then everyone cheered together.

Sure enough! Brother Li is still Brother Li!

He's still the smartest, bravest, most righteous, and most considerate brother in the gang!

In the past, when Brother Li led them out to fight for interests and territory, he often did this kind of thing!

Now, the powerful and unfamiliar Li Qi and the familiar Li Qi gradually merged into one. The boatmen no longer had any doubts, and after finishing their work, they all gathered in front of Li Qi.

Some offered praise, some chatted casually, but most of them asked Li Qi what had happened in the past two weeks.

"Alright! So many people chattering away, it's so noisy! Shut up, everyone, go buy some wine and meat first, we'll talk about it during dinner tonight!" Li Qi waved his hand to dismiss the crowd and instructed them.

Since Brother Li had said so, the boatmen naturally wouldn't be ungrateful. They joked around, happily putting their arms around each other's shoulders, passing around the gold coins given to them by Li Qi, taking bites of each other's coins, finding it incredibly strange.

That's because they had never actually encountered gold.

This is gold!

Such a small piece is worth tens of thousands of dollars!

Looking at their expressions, Li Qi couldn't help but sigh. Uncle Liu was the most composed and had the most level composure. When he received the gold, his first thought was how to use it and how to distribute it.

Then he heard a cracking sound.

"Hmm...?" Li Qi was curious about what the sound was. He looked back and saw his Uncle Liu covering his mouth, jumping up and down in pain, with a gold ingot clutched in his hand.

He bit into the gold coin and chipped his tooth.

Elderly people often have poor teeth.

Upon seeing this, Li Qi slapped his forehead.

Okay, I take back what I said earlier.

Let's take a look at Zhang Caitou's situation first.

The person had already been hoisted up, but was still hanging there weakly, without even the strength to lift their arms.

Li Qi grabbed a water jug belonging to some boatman, raised his hand, and splashed it on Zhang Caitou's face, waking him up at least once he was awake.

"Zhang Caitou, now you can tell us who the big shot behind you is, right? Why did you suddenly decide to come to Wave-Pushing Gang to cause trouble?"

However, the person who answered Li Qi's question was not Zhang Caitou.

"As expected of a state capital, it's a place where hidden talents abound. Even this small Boatman Gang has a Xiantian martial artist hidden inside." A voice came from behind Li Qi, sounding like it came from far away.
