Labor Cultivator Hundred Blades

"Behind Carefree Dock is a warehouse complex, most of which are dilapidated and abandoned. I heard that Ma Wu plans to build a restaurant there, but construction has been delayed."

My spies have seen Ling Miaoying there more than once. At first, I thought he was there to deal with Li Qi, but now it seems he frequents that warehouse area. This makes me suspect that Ling Miaoying might be colluding with Li Qi.

While speaking, Wan Jinxian kept watching Tu Yinghong's reaction. If Tu Yinghong jumped up to defend Ling Miaoying, it would prove that there was genuine affection between her and Ling Miaoying.

Tu Yinghong remained remarkably calm, which confirmed He Jiaqing's suspicion that Tu Yinghong's repeated attacks on Carefree Dock were for that item.

Tu Yinghong lit a cigarette and looked at Wan Jinxian, saying, "What's the use of telling me all this? I don't believe Miao Ying and Li Qi are colluding. I really want to find him and ask him directly, but I can't even leave this building."

"You really can't get out, because I can't let you out. I'm just telling you this." After saying that, Wan Jinxian left.

Tu Yinghong sat in the room, lost in thought.

Ling Miaoying really still alive?

Why did he collude with Li Qi?

Could it be because of my Iron Ruler?

Is he lying to me?

Did he and Li Qi team up to deceive me?

Ling Miaoying has shown interest in the Iron Ruler more than once. The Shadow Play Building can be moved entirely thanks to these Iron Ruler.

Tu Yinghong never let him touch the Iron Ruler; it was a treasure that Tu Yinghong had obtained at an extremely high price.

When I met Li Qi at the cinema, the pair of Iron Ruler were gone.

Later, he and Ling Miaoying went to Carefree Dock to look for Li Qi, but the two of them disappeared together.

Li Qi took my Iron Ruler. Ling Miaoying knew how to use the Iron Ruler, so they may have reached some kind of cooperation and wanted to use my Iron Ruler to do something.

What do they want to do?

What could possibly make Ling Miaoying abandon her family business and even fake her death?

Did they find out the origin of the Iron Ruler?

Tu Yinghong became increasingly nervous as she thought about it.

She took a cloth bag out of her skirt, rummaged around in it for a moment, and pulled out an Iron Elbow Guard.

After elbow pads come Knee Guard, then Shoulder Guard, Iron Helmet, breastplate...

He took out more than a dozen pieces of clothing, put them together, and they became a suit of armor.

Tu Yinghong hadn't worn this armor for a long time because it was very heavy.

But she has to wear it today; it's time to give it her all.

I can give up everything else, but I absolutely cannot lose these Iron Ruler!

She took a hairpin out of her bag.

This is Spiritual Object for those seeking cultivation; we must have this to deal with Ling Miaoying.

She then took out a fishing net from the bag, which was specially prepared for Li Qi.

She opened the hidden compartment in her sleeve and stuffed various weapons and magical artifacts into it one by one.

After gathering all the weapons and Spiritual Object, Tu Yinghong quietly left her room.

Standing in the corridor, she could clearly see the guards in front of the building.

These guards alone could not stop Tu Yinghong, because the building had more than one exit, and some of the exits were known only to Tu Yinghong.

But ever since that Outer State man came, all the exits have disappeared.

Now that the Outer State person is gone, shouldn't his spell be lifted?

Tu Yinghong looked out the window, thinking about what Wan Jinxian had just said.

Wan Jinxian told me about this, so he must have his own plans.

He wanted to find out the truth about Ling Miaoying and Li Qi, but he didn't want to get involved, so he wanted me to take action on his behalf.

So it seems I was used by him...

Tu Yinghong suspected Wan Jinxian's motives, but she had no other choice.

No matter the cost, she had to get the Iron Ruler back.

While pondering, Tu Yinghong groped along the wall of the corridor and soon found a hidden door.

Found it! Really found it!

Wan Jinxian really wanted to let me out on purpose!

But he certainly didn't expect that once I left, he would never be able to find me again.

Tu Yinghong slipped through the hidden door, and upon touching her breastplate, she found herself wearing a layer of gauze.

Covered by the gauze, her body gradually became transparent, and a minute later, she disappeared completely.

Outside the Shadow Play Building, Wan Jinxian held a Blind Man's Cane, motionless.

This Blind Man's Cane was a Spiritual Object for Wan Jinxian, through which he could clearly hear Tu Yinghong's footsteps.

Tu Yinghong emerged from the storm drain outside the Shadow Play Building. Wan Jinxian couldn't see her, but he could tell the direction she was going by her footsteps.

An old woman picking up trash next to him stared at Wan Jinxian for a long time.

This person is clearly not blind, so why is he holding Blind Man's Cane stick?

Wan Jinxian smiled at the old lady, took out a hundred-yuan Huan Country Notes from his pocket, and handed it to her.

The old woman was taken aback; she wanted to say that she wasn't a beggar.

But a hundred yuan is not a small amount for her, and even if she is mistaken for a beggar, she really wants to accept the money.

She thanked Wan Jinxian repeatedly, Wan Jinxian had already walked away.

The old lady held the Huan Country Notes and examined it carefully several times.

It's real money.

I had a lucky day.

She carefully put the money into her pocket and then continued picking up trash.

The dust in the garbage heap was heavy, and the old lady coughed twice unintentionally.

Once he started coughing, he couldn't stop.

My throat is itchy, my chest feels tight, and when I take a small breath, my whole body trembles.

The old woman sat next to the garbage heap, clutching her chest and coughing incessantly.

My throat tasted salty from coughing, and blood kept dripping down the corners of my mouth.

What's wrong?

Are you sick?

How did you suddenly get sick?

Today was great, wasn't it? Someone even gave me a hundred yuan. Isn't that great?

Now that I have money, I can eat something nice today...

The old woman collapsed in the garbage heap and, after a violent coughing fit, stopped breathing.

At one o'clock in the morning, Li Banfeng shivered in the warehouse.

Danger is approaching; this is a warning sign of the need to Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity.

He knew Tu Yinghong would launch a night attack. He slept in his Portable Abode in the morning, gathered information in Green Water City in the afternoon, completed his Travel Cultivator journey, and then guarded the warehouse all night.

He had released the bait; he knew Tu Yinghong would definitely come.

I thought I would have to wait a few more days, but she came tonight.

Is he really here to avenge Ling Miaoying?

Are the feelings really that deep?

After inspecting all the magical artifacts and weapons, Li Banfeng whispered a word of advice, "Everyone, we've been eating a lot of rich food lately, and our skills have all improved. Tonight, let's finish this quickly, and no one can hold us back."

The record player had instructed Li Banfeng not to get into a stalemate with the repairman.

There's a saying on the battlefield, "Labor Cultivator Hundred Blades."

Maintenance workers are most afraid of being caught off guard, as they lack adaptability.

But once he gained a foothold and began to fight, the skilled weapons that the craftsmen had produced kept coming. The longer Li Banfeng was worn down, the more dangerous it became for him.

The projector spoke up, "Seventh Director, Tu Yinghong is no ordinary person. To be on the safe side, we should call more helpers."

The glove slapped the projector's casing. "You're so foolish! There's a spy in Carefree Dock, and we haven't found out who it is yet. We absolutely cannot let this information leak out, or we'll suffer a huge loss."

Gloves were particularly active tonight.

He couldn't afford to be passive either; if he couldn't kill Tu Yinghong quickly, his theft of the Iron Ruler would likely be exposed.

Less than ten minutes later, the earring whispered in my ear, "Master, there are footsteps."

Li Banfeng pressed down with his palm, signaling all the magical artifacts to quiet down.

The footsteps drew closer and stopped outside the door.

Tu Yinghong's hairpin also sensed something; she observed the footprints outside the door.

There are people in this warehouse.

How many people are there?

If there's only one, it depends on whether it's Li Qi or Ling Miaoying.

Tu Yinghong was very familiar with all of Ling Miaoying's combat methods, including his weapons and Spiritual Object, and she was confident that she could capture Ling Miaoying alive.

If it's Li Qi, then we need to be prepared for a fierce battle. Lu Xiu is quick to Travel Cultivator, so we can't let him crush us in one wave. We need to stall the battle and prevent Li Qi from escaping.

If both of them are present, it proves that Ling Miaoying and Li Qi are indeed colluding.

In this situation, Tu Yinghong would choose to retreat. Facing two opponents alone, she would have virtually no chance of winning.

Tu Yinghong listened carefully at the door, but the hairpin couldn't tell how many people were inside.

Why can't you hear it?

According to Tu Yinghong's judgment, there should only be one Ling Miaoying in this room.

Ling Miaoying was a seventh-level cultivator who had heard the commotion. He concealed his presence and took precautions, so much so that the hairpin could not sense him.

This was within Tu Yinghong's expectations.

No matter how Ling Miaoying tried to defend herself, Tu Yinghong was certain that he couldn't escape her grasp.

Tu Yinghong first tugged at her clothes to make herself invisible.

She then pulled out a puppet from her left sleeve.

The puppet unfolded its curled-up body and stood on the ground, its height similar to Tu Yinghong's.

How could such a large puppet fit in a sleeve?

This is the method used by high-level maintenance workers.

According to Tu Yinghong's tactics, once the puppet pushes open the door, Ling Miaoying will attack the puppet immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tu Yinghong captured Ling Miaoying alive.

Once everything was ready, the puppet reached out and pushed open the door.

The moment her hand touched the door, there was a loud crash, the door shattered, and the puppet broke apart, a pile of broken wood hitting Tu Yinghong.

Tu Yinghong was startled, thinking that Ling Miaoying had fired the shot.

Ling Miaoying's pistol was extremely powerful, but Tu Yinghong was wearing heavy armor this time. Although her movements were a bit slower, she was able to block Ling Miaoying's bullets.

Strange, this doesn't look like a bullet, it looks more like a shotgun shell.

Countless stones and sand flew towards him, striking his armor with a clanging sound.

Tu Yinghong was shocked; this was Travel Cultivator's technique of Trample Ten Thousand Rivers!

The person inside isn't Ling Miaoying, it's Li Qi!

He was a Travel Cultivator, how could he possibly escape the gaze of the hairpin?

Tu Yinghong never expected that Li Banfeng was a high-level House Cultivator who was often overlooked. With sufficient precautions, he could evade Spiritual Object of the same level who were spying on him.

Tactics need to be changed!

Tu Yinghong also made targeted preparations against Li Qi. The best way to deal with the Travel Cultivator was to control the Travel Cultivator's movements.

That's when fishing nets come in handy!

If the fishing net is successfully cast onto Li Qi, the tactic will be 70% successful.

The problem now is how to cast the fishing nets.

Li Banfeng gave Tu Yinghong her breath.

Although he couldn't see Tu Yinghong, Li Banfeng determined her location by the impact of the sand and Tu Yinghong.

He stared at Tu Yinghong and quickly rushed out of the warehouse.

Tu Yinghong stared intently at Li Banfeng, not daring to be distracted in the slightest, for fear that Li Banfeng would just Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

Li Banfeng swung his sickle, hacking and slashing, turning Tu Yinghong's invisibility cloak into shreds.

Tu Yinghong appeared, and Tang Blade seized the opportunity to slash at Tu Yinghong from behind.

The heavy armor worn by Tu Yinghong embodies a great deal of her hard work. If it were Tang Blade from the past, it would not only fail to penetrate the armor, but might even crack the blade.

But Tang Blade is not what it used to be. He has eaten too many good things with Li Banfeng and is no longer at the same level. With one slash, he cleaved a gash more than half a foot long in the armor.

Tu Yinghong remained calm despite the crack in her armor. Her Tang Blade was stuck in the crack, preventing her from exerting any force, and she only suffered minor superficial injuries.

Tang Blade drew the blade out and made Second Blade at the same spot, only to find that the wound he had made on the armor had disappeared.

The armor actually healed?

Without much thought, Tang Blade slashed down with his Second Blade time.

The gash was still half a foot long. As Tang Blade drew his sword, Zhong Pendulum followed, striking Tu Yinghong before her armor could heal.

The armor closed, clamping down hard on the Blood-Containing Pendulum.

The pendulum, enduring excruciating pain, began to suck blood.

Tu Yinghong had no time to worry about this minor injury.

At this moment, Li Banfeng's figure flashed back and forth in front of her. If Tu Yinghong was not careful, she would lose her life from Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.

But as long as she could defend against the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers, Tu Yinghong wasn't worried about Li Qi's other techniques. Even if Li Banfeng used the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers technique again, this armor would definitely be able to block it.

The most urgent thing right now is to trap Li Qi with a fishing net.

With her eyes fixed on Li Banfeng, Tu Yinghong reached into her sleeve for a fishing net.

Where are the fishing nets?

Tu Yinghong fumbled around for a while and found that the fishing net was gone.

It was stolen by Li Qi again?

Was he Travel Cultivator or a thief repairman?

While Tu Yinghong was fumbling with the fishing net, the Wine Gourd flew up and sprayed wine mist towards Tu Yinghong.

Li Banfeng lit a match and flicked it with one finger, wanting to see if Tu Yinghong's armor could withstand the flames.

Tu Yinghong actually blocked it.

She pulled a cloak from her sleeve, and the cloak reflected the flames back onto Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng dodged the flames, took a step forward, and slashed the cloak to shreds with his sickle.

The Old Teapot flew through the air and splashed tea at Tu Yinghong.

A porcelain bottle flew out from Tu Yinghong's sleeve and collected all the tea.

Li Banfeng took another small step, trying to avoid Tu Yinghong's gaze.

Tu Yinghong's hairpin constantly monitored Li Banfeng's actions, helping Tu Yinghong keep her gaze fixed on Li Banfeng.

The porcelain bottle spewed a wave of heat towards Li Banfeng, who dodged it. The heat wave landed on the warehouse behind him, and the warehouse immediately caught fire.

The porcelain bottle hung in mid-air, and the heat wave covered the surrounding space for dozens of meters, leaving Li Banfeng nowhere to hide.

Li Banfeng wasn't afraid of this move at all. He was used to being burned by his Wife. Thinking of the Steam Train, he used his Benevolent Dwelling Heart nature to withstand the blow.

He managed to take the lead, but Li Banfeng lost the initiative.

Long spears, short swords, Meteor Hammer —dozens of weapons flew out from Tu Yinghong's sleeves, surrounding and attacking Li Banfeng.

Tu Yinghong pulled out Sewing Kit from her sleeve, and a dozen spools of thread moved back and forth on the ground. If Li Banfeng were to stumble even for a moment, he would be injured by the weapon.

The battle reached a stalemate, gradually shifting in Tu Yinghong's favor.

Li Banfeng remained calm, leaping back and forth among the silk threads while dodging the weapons around him.

Tu Yinghong dared not be careless in the slightest, keeping her eyes fixed on Li Banfeng.

Wan Jinxian watched the battle from a distance, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Banfeng is at a disadvantage.

Tu Yinghong has exhausted all her methods.

Regardless of who wins or loses, he will reap the benefits.

We must capture Li Qi tonight. Capturing him is the same as obtaining the Red Lotus.

He Jiaqing always said that Red Lotus would be his soon, but Wan Jinxian didn't want to wait any longer.

Perhaps Red Lotus is no longer so important to He Jiaqing, but she is very important to Wan Jinxian, who is quite old but still at the seventh level of cultivation.

Just as the battle was raging and Tu Yinghong, who was in the lead, suddenly had her vision blur.

The reason for the blurred vision is excessive blood loss.

The Blood-Containing Pendulum stuck in the armor kept sucking blood, but because it caused almost no pain, Tu Yinghong ignored it.

She tried to pull the pendulum off, but it was stuck tightly in the armor, which would heal itself but not break apart on its own.

We need to end this battle as soon as possible!

Tu Yinghong was preparing to take out all the remaining weapons when she suddenly heard Li Qi shout repeatedly, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Tu Yinghong's hairpin snapped, and Li Banfeng's shouts caused great harm to the peeping Spiritual Object.

Tu Yinghong, whose vision was already blurred, now lost her hairpin and could no longer keep up with Li Qi's movements.

In a daze, Li Qi suddenly disappeared.

Oh no, this Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers!

Tu Yinghong was shocked, but it was too late. Her skull suddenly exploded, and brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.

Wan Jinxian was stunned, not expecting that Li Qi would win in the end.

It would be better if he won, so he wouldn't have to snatch people away from Tu Yinghong again.

Wan Jinxian observed the situation. Tu Yinghong had dropped a bunch of good weapons on the ground, and Li Qi would definitely go to pick them up. This was the best opportunity to capture Li Qi alive.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi didn't pick up his weapon. Instead, he carried Tu Yinghong's corpse and suddenly ran away.

Wan Jinxian frowned, realizing the problem.

He realized that Li Qi had sensed his malice.

Travel Cultivator walked quickly, but Wan Jinxian was not slow either. He drove a nail into his heel. This was a magic weapon made from the soul of an eighth- Travel Cultivator Lu Xiu, enough for him to catch up with Li Qi.

After chasing for several dozen meters, Li Qi disappeared.

Where did they go?

I didn't even see a shadow of him, how could he run so fast?

P. S.: If we're going to fight, let's fight to the death; if we're going to watch, let's watch it to our hearts' content!
