Make Him Exert a Little More Strength
Ling Miaoying's stomach burst.
Fresh blood, internal organs, bits of flesh, undigested food, and food that had already been digested all gushed out.
Li Banfeng had been running all the way, and his stamina was almost gone. He had been away from the house for too long, and his ability to be easily detected was no longer at its peak. The first time he had successfully used the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers technique had also been extremely taxing.
He stumbled and almost fell. Hearing the noise, Tu Yinghong rushed out of the room and was about to attack Li Banfeng when Li Banfeng aimed at Tu Yinghong's head and fired first.
Bang!
The shot was fired.
Ling Miaoying's pistol was always accurate, but because Li Banfeng's marksmanship was poor, he missed a vital spot and only hit Tu Yinghong's right shoulder.
Tu Yinghong was wearing her homemade armor, but Ling Miaoying's pistol was too powerful, and the bullet still pierced through her bone. Before Tu Yinghong could even stand up, Li Banfeng fired four shots in quick succession.
Of the four bullets fired, only one was detonated, and that one shot hit Tu Yinghong in the neck.
Tu Yinghong covered the wound on her neck and took a few steps back. Ling Miaoying looked at Tu Yinghong for help. Without hesitation, Tu Yinghong jumped out of the corridor window and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She ran away.
Li Banfeng didn't know what methods she used to escape so quickly.
Moreover, Li Banfeng didn't know if this woman would come back.
She might just go out to treat her wounds, or she might find a place to prepare her magic weapon again, or she might even call for reinforcements.
Li Banfeng knew almost nothing about Tu Yinghong, but he knew Ling Miaoying. Ling Miaoying Li Banfeng to have an inexhaustible supply of magical treasures and Spiritual Object, and she could always come up with unexpected tricks.
Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to deal with Ling Miaoying as soon as possible, and then return to Portable Abode to recover our strength, provided that the key to Portable Abode is really in Carefree Dock.
The fight between Li Banfeng and Tu Yinghong lasted only a little over three seconds. In those three seconds, Li Banfeng believed that Ling Miaoying would be unable to treat the wound on her stomach.
Li Banfeng underestimated him.
Ling Miaoying actually managed to treat the wound.
He stuffed his internal organs back into his stomach and stuck a piece of tape on his belly, which actually sealed the wound shut.
During the attack, Tang Blade and Zhong Bian launched a sneak attack, but a halo of light appeared behind Ling Miaoying, acting like a shield and blocking both Tang Blade and Zhong Bian.
The Wine Gourd emitted a mist that enveloped Ling Miaoying, making it seem that her shield alone was no longer enough to stop her.
As long as Li Banfeng sets fire, he can burn Ling Miaoying.
At the critical moment of life and death, Ling Miaoying suddenly rushed towards Li Banfeng.
His shoes were special, and this move made him incredibly fast.
Li Banfeng was exhausted and his pace slowed down a bit.
Ling Miaoying pounced on him, and Li Banfeng couldn't dodge.
The two grappled together. At this distance, Li Banfeng couldn't set fire to the fire, otherwise he would be in danger. It was also difficult for either of them to find an opportunity to use their techniques. They relied entirely on their superb close-combat skills and ability to maneuver around the enemy.
Ling Miaoying pulled her hair, Li Banfeng gouged at his eyes.
Ling Miaoying scratched her face, Li Banfeng choked her.
One was seriously injured, and the other was extremely exhausted; neither of them had the ability to kill the other in one move.
One is a seventh-level cultivator at the escaping stage, and the other is a sixth-level Travel Cultivator and a fifth-level House Cultivator. The duel between high-level cultivators is just that intense!
The Tang Blade and pendulum continued their struggle with the shield, the Wine Gourd clashed with the steel cable, and the projector adjusted its angle from the corner—this was going to be a disaster!
Although the image it created earlier had its head cut off by the Tang Blade, the phantom could still fight. However, due to the projection angle of the projector, the phantom could not enter the corridor, as the corridor was outside the screen's range.
After adjusting the angle, the projector can create a new phantom image that can move around in the corridor and help Ling Miaoying fight.
Ling Miaoying has too many Spiritual Object and is about to gain the upper hand.
During the stalemate, the White Glove suddenly gently scratched Ling Miaoying's ear.
Ling Miaoying flinched, giving Li Banfeng the opportunity to display his skills.
Li Banfeng suddenly broke free from the entanglement, circled behind Ling Miaoying, and with superhuman strength, dragged Ling Miaoying into the room.
Ling Miaoying's eyes widened; she couldn't understand Li Banfeng's change.
Both sides were clearly at their limit, so why does this kid still have so much strength?
Did you take some kind of elixir?
He clearly didn't have a chance to take his medicine just now.
Why did he run into the room?
Could it be Shut-in Cultivation Technique?
Impossible!
He's Travel Cultivator, how could he possibly have Shut-in Cultivation Technique?
Li Banfeng really did use Shut-in Cultivation Technique.
He used the tactic of Homesickness Like An Arrow.
Having run all the way back from Black Stone Slope, Li Banfeng was Homesickness Like An Arrow return Portable Abode, fearing he might never be able to go back to Sui Shen Ju.
With his skills enhanced, nothing could stop Li Banfeng from returning home.
Li Banfeng dragged Ling Miaoying into the room. Ling Miaoying struggled fiercely, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.
The projector created a new phantom image, but due to the limited projection angle, it couldn't enter Li Banfeng's room.
It adjusted its angle again, intending to create a ghost image in Li Banfeng's room.
Li Banfeng reached under the bed with one hand and pulled out the key from a crack in the floor.
Key!
The key is still here!
Li Banfeng was overjoyed, and his strength increased even more.
Ling Miaoying struggled to move her neck and bit Li Banfeng's wrist.
Li Banfeng's skill of Homesickness Like An Arrow home had reached its peak, and he felt no pain. He opened the Portable Abode and dragged Ling Miaoying inside.
With their master gone, the magical artifacts and Spiritual Object were thrown into disarray.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Wine Gourd knocked over the projector, and the newly formed illusory image was projected out the window.
The pendulum and the Tang Blade moved back and forth, tangling with the steel cable, and followed Li Banfeng into the house.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, the glove swallowed Ling Miaoying's projector and then returned to Portable Abode.
Upon returning to Portable Abode, Li Banfeng threw the key outside the door, then collapsed from exhaustion, lying motionless on the ground.
Ling Miaoying suddenly stood up, picked up the steel wire rope, and was about to chop off Li Banfeng's head.
Li Banfeng smiled.
Ling Miaoying's hand was suspended in mid-air, hooked by her Wife's singing needle.
The Wife was playing a slow tempo, about to sing a song, when unexpectedly Li Banfeng sang "Du Shiniang" first.
"My Wife, are you hungry? If you are, tell your husband, and I'll make you some noodle soup!"
The record player chuckled, "Hey, my love, this isn't noodle soup, it's top-quality ingredients!"
Ling Miaoying stared at the record player and exclaimed in surprise, "How could a steam record player from Amikan Country be a magic weapon?"
Ling Miaoying's skin was scalded and torn by steam. The Wife was angry, and her stomach rumbled loudly.
Li Banfeng laughed, "You have a good eye, no wonder you're Ling Miaosheng's brother. But you're being very tactless. This is my Wife, how dare you call her a magic weapon?"
My Wife?
Ling Miaoying couldn't understand it, and had no way of thinking about it.
The record player was very hungry, and ate this meal rather hastily.
Seeing his Wife wolfing down her food, Li Banfeng felt very gratified.
This is how you should raise a wife—she should be plump and healthy!
But if we go back to Outer State in the future, buying groceries for my Wife will still be a hassle.
Would my Wife like that environment in Outer State?
Li Banfeng patted his forehead, reminding himself not to overthink.
He had some guesses.
In the future, while Portable Abode, try not to overthink things related to the location.
Tu Yinghong returned to Carefree Dock and saw many people standing in the corridor, most of them were overnight guests and dancers.
These people heard gunshots and fighting, and at first they were afraid to go out. In Pro State, being too curious can easily lead to death.
Once the noise subsided, a group of people came out to check the situation.
The gatekeeper, who was fast asleep, was also awakened. Tu Yinghong looked around but did not see Ling Miaoying and Li Qi.
She pretended to be an onlooker and asked the people around her what had happened.
"I don't know what happened, I just heard someone firing guns."
"There's blood here, but we don't know whose blood it is."
"Not only is there blood, look at this! Isn't this intestine? There are even vegetable leaves on it!"
No one around could explain it clearly.
Tu Yinghong glanced into Li Banfeng's room, which was empty.
She wanted to go in and take a closer look, but the gatekeeper stopped her. "Go back to sleep! Don't cause trouble here!"
Tu Yinghong was pushed.
If she wanted to kill the doorman, she could do so with just a flick of her finger.
With a few more flicks of her fingers, she could kill everyone in the hallway and then go inside to take a closer look.
But she didn't do that.
She knew that doing this wouldn't help Ling Miaoying; on the contrary, it would only bring trouble to Ling Miaoying.
Tu Yinghong quietly left Carefree Dock and returned to the small building, where she waited for news from Ling Miaoying.
Lu Chunying and the others were also quietly waiting for news of Ling Miaoying at Lu Maoxian's home.
Around seven o'clock, when it was already broad daylight, the spy finally delivered the message.
The Guanfang Envoy came out of the study but did not see Ling Miaoying.
Lu Dongtang couldn't take it anymore and yelled at his men, "The Guanfang Envoy has already come out, what are you waiting for? Go into the brothel and look for him!"
"Floating Life Book Chamber is the Chu family's business, so it's not appropriate for us to..."
"So what if it's the Chu family? Do you think I'm afraid of them!"
His men went to Floating Life Book Chamber, but soon returned.
"We searched the entire brothel, but we couldn't find Ling Miaoying."
Lu Dongtang was speechless.
Lu Chunying stood up and sighed, "No wonder Uncle was tricked by Ling Miaoying. This kind of mentality is inherited from her."
Unable to bear it any longer, Lu Dongtang stood up, about to curse, when Qiu Zhiheng glanced at him. Blood welled up in Lu Dongtang's eyes, pooling in one spot, and in the midst of his outburst, his pants burst open.
Lu Dongtang covered his pants and sat back down in the chair, quickly lowering his head.
If Monkey Qiu were to look at him again, it would be enough to make him childless.
After the main family left, the other families followed suit.
Lu Maoxian sat in his bedroom, gritting his teeth inwardly.
Once outside the mansion, Ma Wu said to Monkey Qiu and Tan Fucheng, "Uncle Qiu, Uncle Tan, if you don't mind, let's go to Carefree Dock for a get-together and have a drink."
Tan Fucheng looked at Qiu Zhiheng, and Qiu Zhiheng looked at Lu Chunying.
Lu Chunying smiled and said, "Brother Qiu, since Fifth Brother has such good intentions, we can't refuse him."
Qiu Zhiheng nodded. "Alright, let's sit together."
Ma Wu raised his hand. "Please go first, uncles."
Tan Fucheng frowned and said, "Miss Chunying already calls me 'brother,' so why are you still calling me 'uncle'? From now on, let's consider ourselves equals."
The group headed towards Carefree Dock together, but before they could even enter, the gatekeeper rushed up to them.
"Fifth Master, something happened last night. Someone came and entered Seventh Master's room. They even fired shots, making a mess of things..."
The gatekeeper's communication skills were limited, and what he said was all jumbled up.
Ma Wu first told everyone to rest in the dance hall, and then he hurried to the back building.
Upon reaching the second floor, Ma Wu's heart tightened. He noticed bloodstains, scorch marks, and other indescribable substances in the corridor, indicating that a fierce battle had clearly taken place there.
Is something wrong with the Seventh Brother?
Sweat beaded on Ma Wu's forehead.
When they arrived at Li Qi's door, there were two people guarding the entrance, not allowing any unauthorized personnel to enter.
"Fifth Master, it's a complete mess inside, and there's blood everywhere. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Ma Wu pushed open the door and entered the room, only to find it very tidy.
The gatekeeper was also terrified and said to Ma Wu, "Fifth Master, it wasn't like this just now, it was..."
Whoosh~
A splash of water.
Li Banfeng came out of the washroom.
The gatekeeper trembled, "Seventh Master, when did you get back?"
Li Banfeng wiped his hands and said, "I came back last night."
Ma Wu, relieved, wiped away a cold sweat, sent the gatekeeper away, and asked, "Did something happen last night?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Something has happened."
"What happened?"
"I haven't finished writing it yet."
Ma Wu looked helpless. "Why are we making things up between us? Can't you just tell me the truth?"
"I can tell you this to you, but it's hard to say to others." Li Banfeng took out a bundle and handed it to Ma Wu.
Ma Wu brought over the bundle, unfolded it, and discovered it contained Ling Miaoying's head.
"Seventh Brother..." Ma Wu's mouth hung open for a long time before he finally closed it. "The Lu Family waited for Ling Miaoying all night, and this is how you show up?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Yes, so we have to write a good story. We can't let him die like this. We have to make him exert more effort."
P. S.: The projector was taken away by the glove, will he spit it out?
