I Was Terrified

Qin Xiaopang opened his eyes, still hearing the sounds of fighting.

He turned his face and saw that Old Smoke Cannon was still locked in combat with Gold Rimmed Glasses, his body already covered in bloodstains.

Old Smoke Cannon's movements were sluggish. Behind him, Hu Gaozi was waiting for an opportunity.

No, I have to go up and help quickly. Old Smoke Cannon can't hold on.

Qin Xiaopang picked up his axe and had just gotten to his feet when he suddenly saw Gold Rimmed Glasses circle behind Old Smoke Cannon and grab a handful of his hair.

Pulled back, Old Smoke Cannon raised his head. Hu Gaozi stepped forward and used a dagger to slit Old Smoke Cannon's throat.

Blood gushed out, and Old Smoke Cannon's body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Hu Gaozi looked at the blood and laughed excitedly, his laughter punctuated by a few coughs.

He had been eroded by the poisonous mist and poisoned by Old Smoke Cannon's smoke poison. His current condition was not very good.

But Gold Rimmed Glasses was in excellent condition.

As a Poison Cultivator, he had strong resistance to poisonous mist.

Of course, this didn't mean he could stay on Bitter Mist Mountain indefinitely. With his current cultivation, he couldn't withstand prolonged exposure to the poisonous mist.

But one day wasn't too long for him; it had almost no effect on him.

He took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from his hands, and walked up to Qin Xiaopang.

"You should have heard what I said just now. I hate talking to stupid people, I don't want to say a single extra word.

Compared to that old guy, you shouldn't be stupid. At least you're young and not so stubborn.

Give me all the flowers, and I'll let you go."

"No!" The little fatty clutched his pocket tightly.

"Why are you being so stubborn?" Hu Gaozi laughed. "I counted for you. You only picked twenty flowers in total. If you sell them down the mountain, it's only a little over a thousand yuan. Is it worth losing your life for a little over a thousand yuan?"

"I just won't give them to you!" The little fatty gripped his axe tightly. He knew his life was definitely worth more than a thousand yuan, but he wouldn't allow others to easily take what belonged to him.

"You're really ungrateful!" Hu Gaozi stepped forward and kicked the little fatty in the chest.

This time, the little fatty was prepared and blocked the kick with the axe handle, then turned and swung the axe at Hu Gaozi.

Hu Gaozi dodged the axe, but it was a very close call. After being poisoned by the smoke, in a one-on-one fight, he might not be the little fatty's opponent.

But he didn't need to fight alone, because Gold Rimmed Glasses was standing beside him.

Gold Rimmed Glasses walked up to Qin Xiaopang, fanning himself with a folding fan, and said, "Brother, let me give you a piece of advice. Leave the flowers and hurry down the mountain."

"You're dreaming!" The little fatty spat. "I can't believe I actually trusted you, you bastard are so vicious! You've been deceiving me this whole time!"

"Vicious?" Gold Rimmed Glasses shook his head. "I think I'm being quite open and aboveboard."

"Bullshit!" The little fatty spat again. "Meeting you, you bastard, is my bad luck!"

"This isn't bad luck. If you didn't meet me, you would have met someone else," Gold Rimmed Glasses smiled. "You brought such a big axe, it's obvious this is your first time up the mountain. From the moment you left the inn, many people have been watching you."

Qin Xiaopang was startled, remembering Steward Feng from the general store.

No wonder he said he couldn't take the Azure Dragon Blade up the mountain.

Gold Rimmed Glasses continued, "I know you feel unwilling. You risked your life all day, picked twenty flowers, and they're just gone. Anyone would feel bad about that.

But think about it, do those twenty flowers really belong to you? Are you worthy?

This is your first time on Bitter Mist Mountain, and you want to make money. Do you have the qualifications?

You don't understand anything, you don't know the way, you don't understand the rules, you don't even know what Snake Spot Chrysanthemum looks like.

I taught you a lot of things. At least next time you come, you'll know where to pick flowers, what kind of flowers to pick, how many you can pick yourself, how many you can take away, who is trustworthy, and who is not.

You've learned so much and saved your life, all for just over a thousand yuan. Do you really think it's not worth it?"

Hearing this, Qin Xiaopang took a piece of dry food from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth.

This was the last piece of dry food, his last bit of capital.

No matter what the other party said, Qin Xiaopang would never hand over the Snake Spot Chrysanthemum.

Gold Rimmed Glasses was very disappointed. He wanted to wait for Qin Xiaopang to give up resisting before easily taking his life.

But since Qin Xiaopang was resisting to the end, he would have to change his approach.

"Little brother, I'll give you five minutes. Think carefully again." Gold Rimmed Glasses took out a folding fan and slowly fanned himself. The fragrance from the fan slowly dispersed with the mechanism on the ribs.

The fragrance drifted out, and Qin Xiaopang was completely unaware because he didn't know that Gold Rimmed Glasses was a Poison Cultivator.

By the time Old Smoke Cannon discovered that Gold Rimmed Glasses was a Poison Cultivator, Qin Xiaopang had already fainted.

"I still stand by what I said. Talking to a fool is a waste of effort. I believe you are not a fool." Gold Rimmed Glasses was still releasing poison when he suddenly saw someone running towards them from a distance.

"Brother Pang, everyone, I found a good place! There are lots of Snake Spot Chrysanthemums there!"

Qin Xiaopang turned his head and saw that it was Li Banfeng running over.

Gold Rimmed Glasses was startled and took two steps back. Hu Gaozi quickly picked up his dagger.

Why is he back? Didn't he go down the mountain?

Li Banfeng rushed closer and said to Qin Xiaopang, "We're rich this time! There's a patch of bamboo not far ahead, and there are Snake Spot Chrysanthemums under the bamboo! Go take a look quickly!"

Qin Xiaopang grabbed Li Banfeng, "Brother, something happened."

"What happened?"

"Old Smoke Cannon is dead."

"Dead? How did he die?"

"They killed him!" Qin Xiaopang pointed to the body in the distance.

Li Banfeng saw the bloodstains all over the ground and Old Smoke Cannon's body, and his legs immediately went weak.

"W-what happened? W-what are you doing? Didn't we team up? Weren't we looking out for each other?" Li Banfeng was so scared he couldn't even speak properly.

Qin Xiaopang grabbed Li Banfeng and said, "Brother, saying this is useless now. They wanted to rob us from the beginning. Let's fight them!"

"Fight, I'll fight..." Li Banfeng trembled all over.

Hu Gaozi laughed, "Big Brother, you said you needed to be wary of this guy, but look at what kind of person he is."

Gold Rimmed Glasses sighed, "Looks like I misjudged him. I say, your name is Bai Sha, right? You saw a good place?"

"I, I saw it..." Li Banfeng's eyes were almost watering.

"You really saw it?"

"I really saw it, I'm not lying to you," Li Banfeng untied the pouch from his waist. The pouch was bulging with a large pile. "These are all things I gathered from over there."

Gold Rimmed Glasses smiled, "You've done a great service. You stay here and squat for a bit, then take us there."

"Okay, okay..." Li Banfeng stood frozen in place.

Hu Gaozi stepped forward and kicked Li Banfeng, "I told you to squat, didn't you hear?"

Li Banfeng quickly squatted on the ground.

Gold Rimmed Glasses looked at Qin Xiaopang with a smile, "What should we do? Your friend is useless!"

"You damn coward!" Qin Xiaopang saw Li Banfeng squatting on the ground and wiping away tears, knowing he couldn't rely on this person. He gripped his axe, ready to fight Gold Rimmed Glasses to the death.

Hu Gaozi rolled up his sleeves, preparing to take down Qin Xiaopang with Gold Rimmed Glasses.

Li Banfeng was still sobbing on the ground, "Didn't we team up? We said we'd look out for each other, how can you still kill people! Why do you have to kill people?"

Whoosh!

Hu Gaozi suddenly felt a chill in his ankle. Before he felt the pain, a warm liquid flowed out from his ankle.

He was bleeding. Someone had slashed him with a knife.

The cut was very deep, as if it had severed his Achilles tendon. His foot couldn't move.

Hu Gaozi looked down at Li Banfeng, who was still squatting on the ground, wiping away tears.

"Don't you just want Snake Spot Chrysanthemums? There are plenty over there, I'll give them all to you, won't that be enough? Don't kill me."

With that, Li Banfeng took out the pouch, seemingly about to hand it to Gold Rimmed Glasses.

Gold Rimmed Glasses was momentarily stunned, then saw Li Banfeng throw the pouch directly at him.

The pouch wasn't aimed at Gold Rimmed Glasses's hand, but at his head.

Within five meters, he never missed.

Seeing the cloth bag flying towards his face, Gold Rimmed Glasses blocked it with his hand. The mouth of the cloth bag was open, and a whole bag of vomit was dumped all over Gold Rimmed Glasses's face.

It was very sour and very sticky.

Gold Rimmed Glasses couldn't open his eyes for a moment.

"I've given you all the flowers, just spare me," Li Banfeng cried as he got up, revealing the small sickle hidden in his sleeve. He raised his hand and cut Hu Gaozi's throat.

Hu Gaozi didn't react at all.

Travel Cultivators were very fast.

At the same time, as a Shut-in Cultivator, Li Banfeng was easily overlooked.

He had just come out of his house, and his combat power was at its peak.

Coupled with the fact that the poisonous mist of Bitter Mist Mountain had basically dissipated, Li Banfeng's physical condition was far superior to Hu Gaozi's.

More importantly, Li Banfeng's mental state was incomprehensible to Hu Gaozi.

Not only Hu Gaozi couldn't understand, but even Qin Xiaopang couldn't understand.

He was crying, he was begging for mercy.

He was swinging his blade, he was killing people.

His actions did not conform to the understanding of normal people.

Hu Gaozi clutched his throat and fell to the ground.

Gold Rimmed Glasses had just wiped the vomit from his eyes and hadn't realized what had happened when he suddenly felt everything go black.

Li Banfeng put the cloth bag back over Gold Rimmed Glasses' head.

"I beg you not to kill me, I'll give you all the flowers!" Li Banfeng cried miserably, and swung his sickle as he did so.

"Let go, I won't kill you, I really won't kill you!"

Gold Rimmed Glasses struggled desperately, but Li Banfeng held the cloth bag tightly. The cloth bag was over Gold Rimmed Glasses' head, and he couldn't break free.

"I'll really give you the flowers, don't kill me." Li Banfeng's crying continued, and the sickle fell, passing through the cloth bag and hooking into Gold Rimmed Glasses' skull.

"I won't kill you, I definitely won't kill you!" Gold Rimmed Glasses couldn't break free, his brain was damaged, and his limbs began to disobey him.

Li Banfeng pulled the sickle out forcefully and hooked it in again: "I already said I'd give you the flowers, why do you still want to kill me?"

"I really didn't want to kill you, I definitely won't kill you!" Gold Rimmed Glasses shouted hoarsely.

What on earth happened?

Gold Rimmed Glasses couldn't figure it out.

His severely injured brain also lost the ability to think.

"Do you just have to kill me?" Li Banfeng was still crying, but the sickle didn't stop, going in and out of Gold Rimmed Glasses' skull again.

"I really didn't want to kill you!" Gold Rimmed Glasses' voice changed pitch.

"Can't you just not kill me?" Pfft! The sickle went into Gold Rimmed Glasses' skull again.

"I definitely won't kill you!"

"I beg you not to kill me!" Crack! Li Banfeng pulled the sickle out, crying.

"I, I..." Gold Rimmed Glasses couldn't speak.

Gold Rimmed Glasses wanted to swing his fan, but the fan was held in mid-air, turning into an irregular tremor.

Li Banfeng hooked the sickle into Gold Rimmed Glasses' skull six times in succession.

The red stained the cloth bag.

white flowed out of the cloth bag.

Gold Rimmed Glasses's entire body was convulsing.

Li Banfeng sobbed, "I'm so scared, why do you have to kill me?"

Qin Xiaopang was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Li Banfeng's body was very thin, not looking like someone who could fight.

Even Old Chen from the Dark Star Bureau couldn't figure out how Li Banfeng could win a one-on-five fight and even severely injure his opponents.

If he could see this scene, perhaps he would understand.

Watching Li Banfeng strike blow after blow until he lifted Gold Rimmed Glasses's skull, Qin Xiaopang quickly advised, "Brother Li, he seems to be dead."

"Dead?" Li Banfeng blinked, stopped crying, his expression returned to normal, and his voice became normal too.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

He looked at Qin Xiaopang and said with a serious expression, "You know, brother, I was terrified just now."

He said he was terrified.

He said very seriously that he was terrified.

Qin Xiaopang was momentarily dazed and cautiously asked, "Brother Li, are you crazy?"

Li Banfeng shook his head firmly, "Not crazy. I went to the hospital, and the doctor said I'm not crazy."

PS: Banfeng is terrified, everyone come and comfort Banfeng.
