Peerless Hero

Li Banfeng ran for more than half an hour and was more than 30 miles away from Green Water Bay.

This place is completely empty, with no villages, no houses, not even a passerby, just a patch of weeds and a wild lake.

Li Banfeng thought the place was suitable and was about to release the person he had rescued on the road when he suddenly saw a middle-aged man approaching him with lightning speed.

"Hey bearded man, where are you from?" The middle-aged man was wearing a gray striped short-sleeved shirt and had a Black Stem Cigarette in his mouth.

Big beard...

Although Li Banfeng had a full beard, he still felt a little uncomfortable being addressed that way.

"Did you need something?" Li Banfeng asked the middle-aged man with a smile.

The man, with a cigarette between his fingers, said, "Our master wants to see you."

Do I know your master?

"Don't you know the Lu Family of Pro State?" The middle-aged man was named Huang Guangshi, a Travel Cultivator under Monkey Qiu.

Monkey Qiu's order was to capture people carrying record players, but Li Banfeng didn't have a record player on him. Why did he target Li Banfeng?

Because this person was good at speculation, while others went to find record players, he kept his eyes open and found Small Pliers Xing Qiushan of the Ghost Hand Gate, to ask about Li Banfeng's physical characteristics. He learned that Li Banfeng's most distinctive feature was his full beard.

While others sought out record players, he sought out a beard, thus avoiding unnecessary conflict and increasing his chances of success.

Li Banfeng said, "I've heard of the Lu Family, but your master probably doesn't know me."

"You'll see when you get there. Our master is waiting." Without another word, Huang Guangshi reached out to grab the person, moving so fast that even the afterimage was not clearly visible.

Travel Cultivator.

Judging from his sudden appearance and the efficiency with which he acted, it's clear that he's a Travel Cultivator, and at a level above Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng possessed the physique of a second-level House Cultivator, and having just emerged from the mansion, he shrank back, taking a step to dodge.

Huang Guangshi laughed, "You have cultivation, it seems I've come to the right place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Guangshi suddenly took a step closer. This step was taken without any warning, and his figure was completely invisible, as if he had moved over in an instant.

How high is this level of cultivation?

In fact, Huang Guangshi's cultivation level was not high; he was only at the second level.

As he drew closer, a five-inch-long awl emerged from Huang Guangshi's fingertip and pierced Li Banfeng's forehead.

Seeing this, Li Banfeng retreated again, Huang Guangshi very patient. He pressed forward step by step with an awl until he forced Li Banfeng to the lakeside.

This is Huang Guangshi's tactic, and it's also a common method used by most Travel Cultivator.

This wild lake is overgrown with Dogtail Grass, some of which are taller than a person. If an ordinary person walks in it, they will easily trip over the various roots and stems.

In this kind of environment, the Travel Cultivator team has a significant advantage.

Although Li Banfeng is also Travel Cultivator, his level is not as Huang Guangshi's. If he were to fight head-on, defeat would be inevitable.

Seeing that Li Banfeng had fallen into the trap, Huang Guangshi decided to close the net.

He teleported again, took a step around, and came behind Li Banfeng, raising the awl to stab into Li Banfeng's spine.

Huang Guangshi was very experienced. If he stabbed Li Banfeng, he would be unable to move, but he would still be able to speak. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Li Banfeng escaping, and the interrogation wouldn't be delayed.

Li Banfeng neither dodged nor parried; his figure suddenly vanished.

Huang Guangshi was taken aback. Did this person possess a magical artifact, or even a technique to become invisible?

He was searching for Li Banfeng when he suddenly sensed danger approaching from his right.

By the time he turned around, it was too late; Li Banfeng's Iron Ruler had already pierced Huang Guangshi's cheek.

Li Banfeng's ability to enter and exit the Portable Abode completely disrupted Huang Guangshi's combat habits.

Huang Guangshi tried to teleport another step to break free of the Iron Ruler, but he failed this time. Li Banfeng casually took him into the Portable Abode.

Once inside, Huang Guangshi covered the wound on his face and looked around.

It was pitch black all around, and he couldn't tell where he was at all.

But Li Banfeng doesn't need light; this is his own house.

Even without looking, even with his eyes closed, Li Banfeng knows the layout and furnishings of his home by heart. He won't step on anything when he goes in or out, he won't grab the wrong chamber pot when he urinates at night, and he won't find the wrong Wife when he gets into bed. This is the basic quality of a homebody.

Huang Guangshi could figure out what was going on, Li Banfeng used a sickle to cut the hamstring in his right leg.

Huang Guangshi, limping on one leg, still tried to resist, but Li Banfeng swung his knife back and cut him in the stomach, creating a gash more than half a foot long.

Once the second-floor Travel Cultivator entered the second-floor House Cultivator, there was virtually no possibility of resistance.

With a thud, Huang Guangshi knelt on the ground and cried out, "Our master just wants to ask you a few questions. I'm just following orders. Sir, spare my life!"

Li Banfeng asked, "Did your master specifically ask for me by name?"

At this point, Huang Guangshi dared not lie or speak in riddles, so he could only tell the truth, "Our master is looking for someone who can carry a record player and someone with a beard."

Li Banfeng laughed, "There are millions of men with beards in Green Water City. Do you think you can arrest them all?"

Sizzle~

The record player laughed too.

A burst of flames erupted, and the record player sang a slow tune. "So what if you have a record player? What law have you broken? What right do you have to arrest people?"

Upon hearing the sound of the record player, Huang Guangshi trembled with fear.

He had heard record players play music, but he had never heard of a record player that could talk to people.

But what made him tremble even more was yet to come.

He saw a coat on the ground, Yellow Wool Overcoat custom-made in Ingrid.

This dress was custom-made for Lu Dongliang by a renowned craftsman from Ingrid. How did it end up in this little house?

A record player, a big beard, and an old man's overcoat.

Could it be that...

Huang Guangshi looked up at Li Banfeng: "You are...?"

He dared not say any more.

The person in front of me might really be Li Banfeng.

Did Li Banfeng kill the master?

Impossible.

With such high cultivation, no one in Pro State could kill him.

Li Banfeng, too lazy to waste words, hooked Huang Guangshi's chin with his sickle and said to the record player, "Wife, let's have our meal."

Sizzle~

"Thank you for your kindness, Little Slave. I'm not hungry at all."

Li Banfeng was taken aback. "Wife, say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

"My lord, Little Slave am really not hungry."

Li Banfeng suspected that something was wrong with his Wife.

Or perhaps someone stabbed him in the stomach, causing hearing loss.

My Wife says she's not hungry?

This actually happened!

It seems the previous injury hasn't healed yet.

Since the injury hasn't healed, you need to eat more!

"Wife, I've bought all the groceries. Why don't you have a bite or two as a snack?"

"Oh dear~ My lord, Little Slave this Little Slave with such tenderness, it would be impolite of me to refuse~ Let me first ask this person, what sect do you belong to?"

A puff of steam landed on Huang Guangshi's face.

Huang Guangshi answered truthfully, "I am Travel Cultivator..."

"Travel Cultivator? Hmph~"

As the gongs and drums sounded, the Wife's smile became even more ferocious.

"The Ninth Layer cultivator that my husband brought back before was Travel Cultivator, and you are also Travel Cultivator. How come there are so many Travel Cultivators?" The Wife's lyrics became increasingly ferocious.

Li Banfeng was taken aback.

Why does the Wife have such great hostility towards the Travel Cultivator?

What did she mean when she said I brought back a Ninth Layer?

Where did this Ninth Layer Travel Cultivator from?

Before Huang Guangshi answer, his Wife sliced off a layer of his soul.

"All Travel Cultivator in this world deserve to be torn to pieces!" the Wife roared, and began to devour souls.

Li Banfeng was puzzled. "Why does the Travel Cultivator have to go through so many cuts and shreds?"

The record player chuckled as it ate, "Because they deserved to die, my husband. You're House Cultivator, don't you hate Travel Cultivator?"

Li Banfeng chuckled dryly twice and said, "I hate them, I hate them terribly, I hate them very much..."

That's not right. Just because the Daoist sects are incompatible, does the Wife hate the Travel Cultivator?

That shouldn't be the case.

There seems to be another reason for this.

"He is also..." Huang Guangshi, in excruciating pain, wanted to call out that Li Banfeng was also Travel Cultivator.

Li Banfeng was terrified. Suddenly, he saw the Copper Lotus spit out a dewdrop, which went into Huang Guangshi's mouth, preventing Huang Guangshi from saying what he was going to say next.

Copper Lotus and the record player were old acquaintances, and she knew it was best not to frequently mention Travel Cultivator in front of the record player.

The record player roared, "No manners! I haven't finished eating yet, and you're already using your chopsticks!"

Copper Lotus spat at the record player, and in the midst of their fight, they temporarily put aside the matter of the Travel Cultivator.

Li Banfeng sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the Yellow Wool Overcoat on the floor, feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Many strange things happened today. The record player didn't want to eat, and she even mentioned something about Ninth Layer Travel Cultivator.

She's barely managing to eat a bite now, and she's very distracted, preoccupied with fighting with Lotus.

"My Wife, what did you eat to make yourself so full?"

"Hey, husband, you just got back from grocery shopping, have you already forgotten?"

Buying groceries?

Li Banfeng didn't remember buying any groceries; he only remembered bringing back three record players, which were then refined by the Copper Lotus into a gear-shaped pill, which he gave to his Wife. To be fair, the refining effect was quite good...

Etc.

"What about the person I rescued?" Li Banfeng finally remembered where the Yellow Wool Overcoat came from.

"We ate," the Wife readily admitted. "We ate together."

"How could you just let them eat it like that? Do you even know who that person is? They're someone who brings good fortune!"

Huff~

The record player beat cheerful drums and sang loudly, "Good fortune is here, and our whole family is benefiting from it."

A puff of steam drifted over, and two stacks of old newspapers were inserted into the record player's chassis.

Click! The mirror inside the chassis rotated, projecting the flames into the speaker of the record player.

A beam of light shot out from the horn and projected onto the wall, causing the curtain hanging on the wall to open.

The Wife inherited the function of the projector.

A photo appeared on the screen, taken from the news of the Lu Family's successful land reclamation. The photo featured many important members of the Lu Family, Wife specially drew a circle on Lu Dongliang's face.

The second photo shows the Lu Family acquiring two pharmacies in Medicine King Gully, and the Wife drew a circle around Lu Dongliang again.

The third photo shows the Lu Family acquiring the Bai Le Men from the Chu family.

The fourth photo shows the Lu Family acquiring the He Family's bank.

The fifth photo shows the Lu Family acquiring land from the Ma family.

The sixth photo shows Lu Dongliang lying in his Portable Abode, his face covered in mud.

Li Banfeng stared at the curtain in shock. "Just now, the person I brought back was Lu Dongliang?"

"This Little Slave doesn't know who he is, only that he looks exactly like the person in the newspaper. He's Ninth Layer Travel Cultivator, a rare level of cultivation in Pro State."

He deserved to die! Travel Cultivator deserved to be killed!

"This Little Slave is full, and that slut with blood in her mouth is full too. That bitch Red Lotus is still eating; this meal will probably last for several days."

We're full, everyone's full...

Li Banfeng was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, I heard a sobbing sound; it was coming from the Thread-Pulling Earring.

Li Banfeng listened carefully and only heard one sentence. "Sir, my life is so hard, so very hard..."

The Thread-Pulling Earring had been with Li Banfeng the whole time, but she missed this meal.

The earrings, with their limited expressive power, could only weep. Before Li Banfeng could understand the source of her suffering, he suddenly heard a long, sorrowful sigh:

"I possessed lofty talents, yet my ambitions remained unfulfilled throughout my life. Such a rare opportunity has slipped through my fingers."

Tang Blade cried, and cried very miserably.

In the previous battle with Bagworm Moth Madam, the Tang Blade struck three times before disappearing into Li Banfeng's pocket.

After returning to Portable Abode, Tang Blade hid in the second room and fell into a deep sleep.

I fell asleep and missed such an important meal.

The Tang Blade, not yet fully restored, leaped out of Li Banfeng's pocket, transforming into a dagger, and began slashing at the Blood-Containing Pendulum: "You guys eat meat, at least let me have a sip of soup; you've had your fill of blood, you should at least share some with me!"

"I won't give it to you! I won't give it to you!" The Blood-Containing Pendulum struggled fiercely, and the two began to fight in the main room.

The Blood-Containing Pendulum, having drunk Ninth Layer of blood, was truly holding its own against the Tang Blade.

Li Banfeng paid no attention to the fight between the pendulum and the Tang Blade; one sentence kept echoing in his mind:

Lu Dongliang is dead. Lu Dongliang is dead.

Actually, he didn't know much about Lu Dongliang; today was the first time he had met Lu Dongliang.

He didn't know why Lu Dongliang had fallen Big Head into the mud, but that didn't seem to matter anymore.

He is dead.

The First Boss of the Lu Family is dead.

That powerful man who was also arresting Li Banfeng is dead!

Li Banfeng left Portable Abode and, taking advantage of the night, sped towards Blue Poplar Village.

After running through the village and entering the wooden house, Ma Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Li, you're finally back! Did you buy the record player?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I bought it, but I didn't like it, so I threw it on the side of the road."

"Throw it away? You took such a big risk to come to the city, bought a record player, and then threw it away?" Ma Wu was completely speechless. "Brother Li, you really are..."

The next day at dawn, Ma Wu took two pieces of game he had hunted in Xindi and prepared to sell them at the village entrance. Li Banfeng was in a great mood and went with him.

The steam roller had just started up when the workers laid stones and spread asphalt to begin road repairs.

Ma Wu had just delivered the goods and was about to leave when Li Banfeng boarded the steam roller and asked Chuanzi, "Could I drive it for a bit?"

In his childhood memories, Li Banfeng initially thought that among all construction vehicles, excavators were the most powerful.

It wasn't until he saw a road roller for the first time that Li Banfeng changed his mind; he now believed that the road roller was the ultimate existence.

Chuanzi looked at Li Banfeng with a troubled expression. "Sir, I'm telling you, this really won't work!"

Li Banfeng pulled out a wad of banknotes. "I'll pay!"

"This isn't about money..." Chuanzi was even more troubled.

Ma Wu gave Little Chuanzi a wink, and Xiao Chuan frowned, saying, "What if the foreman sees us?"

"What time is it? The foreman won't be here that early, don't worry!"

The small boat took Li Banfeng's money and let Li Banfeng sit in the driver's seat.

There is no accelerator, no brake, and the driver's seat only has a steering wheel, a large lever, and a few air valves.

Under Xiao Chuan's guidance, Li Banfeng pulled the lever, engaged the forward gear, and the road roller began to move slowly forward.

All the workers stopped what they were doing and stood aside for a while, watching Li Banfeng excitedly maneuver the steering wheel.

Xiao Chuan carefully directed from the side. "Okay, good, driving quite steadily. Sir, you can increase the speed a bit. Yes, open the air valve wider."

Li Banfeng turned the gas valve up wide.

I never expected that a steam-powered road roller would be so fast. If you open the air valve all the way, it can probably reach 30 miles per hour!

Huff! Huff!

Li Banfeng felt as if he were driving both a train and a road roller, and the joy he felt soared from his toes all the way to the top of his head.

Ogawa panicked. "No, you can't open the valve so wide!"

You, you, you must slow down, you can't drive like that.

Sir, what did you just say? You said brakes? What are brakes? There are no brakes here. Hurry up and release the air, open the vent valve!

"Quickly open the gas valve and remove the lever! It's about to fall into the ditch!"

Clang!

The road roller fell into the ditch.

Li Banfeng got out of the driver's seat and looked at Ma Wu: "Hire a few people and quickly pull the road roller out."

Xiao Chuan sat on the road roller and cried, "What are we going to do? The foreman will be here soon!"

The foreman arrived, Ma Wu greeted him, slipped him some money, and suddenly someone shouted, "The Wilderness Contest! Clear Sky Arena, let's go watch the show!"

Li Banfeng exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go, Brother Ma, let's go see the excitement!"

Ma Wu frowned and said, "You shouldn't go."

"I can go now, I think I can do it!" Li Banfeng said with a big smile.

PS: In the Wilderness Contest, there are two types of matches: the Clear Sky Arena and the Turbid Sky Arena. The Clear Sky Arena determines the winner, while the Turbid Sky Arena Decide Life and Death. But there are other secrets to it!
