The Bloodshed in the Desolate Village
Qiao Shaofen walked briskly, with Li Banfeng following closely behind.
Li Banfeng walked with a heart full of fear throughout the journey.
This woman's Daoist sect is unpredictable and ruthless; if Li Banfeng is not careful, he could lose his life.
The reason he dared to follow her was because Li Banfeng knew that her perception was weak. He had previously buried "Li Banfeng" in the mud and she didn't even realize that "Li Banfeng" was made of cabbage.
They followed her all the way to a deserted village. Qiao Shaofen entered a large mansion, and Li Banfeng stopped following her.
This is Qiao Shaofen's residence; the Kinless Madam should also live here.
Li Banfeng did not linger and immediately left the deserted village. He returned to Xindi and wandered around all night, but could not find a suitable route.
He had intended to detour through the new land to return to the Qiu Luoye, but he did not expect the process to be so difficult. Even though he knew the direction, he could not find a way to go.
As dawn approached, Li Banfeng circled back to Kinless Village, used the mechanism to open the boundary, and returned to the Qiu Luoye's Territory from the Proper Land.
The area was quiet, and after returning to their Proper Land, people quickly resumed their regular day-night routine.
As dawn broke, everyone got up one after another. The pioneers went out to find their own way out, while the Three-Headed People rebuilt their houses and tended to their fields.
The morning was relatively peaceful, but by the afternoon, the land clearing workers were eager to go home but couldn't find a way out, and arguments rose and fell across the land.
Qiu Luoye told Li Banfeng about Wan Nianlao's situation. Li Banfeng wanted to meet Wan Nianlao, Shui Yongquan advised Li Banfeng to postpone it.
"Seventh Brother, you're trying to get to Kinless Village via the new land. Asking Wan Nianlao about this is useless. The territory has changed; Wan Nianlao himself doesn't even know where Kinless Village is. He even mistook us for people from Kinless Village before."
Qiu Daxiang fought him once, and Wan Nianlao and suffered a loss. This time, if we go to find him again, he will definitely be on guard and may even set a trap. We'd better be careful.
After careful consideration, Li Banfeng decided to make a trip to the territory of Wan Nianlao. Just as he was about to set off, Juanzi invited Li Banfeng into the house.
"Seventh Master, there's something I've been hesitating about whether I should tell you..." Judging from her expression, Juanzi was in a difficult position.
Mengzi urged from the side, "What time is it? Can't you see Seventh Master is in a hurry? Hurry up and take the things out!"
Xiao Shan also chimed in, "Sister, let Seventh Master take a look."
Li Banfeng stood up and said, "Don't show me things you shouldn't see. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
He didn't blame Juanzi; he was speaking from the heart. Everyone has their own secrets, and Li Banfeng never demanded unconditional honesty from those around him.
Juanzi stopped Li Banfeng and took out a map from her bosom. "Seventh Master, this was given to me by my benefactor. I promised him I would never show it to anyone else."
"Now that I've broken this precedent, I'll show it to Seventh Master. All the blame is mine. If my benefactor finds out, punish me alone."
Li Banfeng glanced at it and immediately understood the importance of the map.
This is a map of the new land. Juanzi used this map to walk all the way from the Sinner City to the Qiu Luoye's Territory.
This map is no longer accurate, because the Qiu Luoye's Territory has become the Proper Land, placed between Kinless Village and Ink Fragrance Shop.
But this map records the new landscape of the surrounding area, and Li Banfeng saw some of the mountains and rivers on the map in the new land last night.
With this map, Li Banfeng can find his way!
Who gave Juanzi this picture?
Juanzi was unwilling to reveal her benefactor's identity, and Li Banfeng did not intend to ask further.
Travel Cultivator was very sensitive to maps. Li Banfeng returned the map to Juanzi. He only looked at it once, but he remembered every route on the map clearly.
The Shui Yongquan was still discussing with the Qiu Luoye how to borrow a path from the Wan Nianlao.
Li Banfeng drew the road for Shui Yongquan: "Brother Shui, if you're in a hurry to go back, we won't dare to keep you."
Shui Yongquan waved his hand and said, "Don't try to stop me. I'm really in a hurry. You've all settled here, but I haven't even received any responses from those who are clearing Proper Land."
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "I was just about to discuss Proper Land matters with you. If you're not in a hurry, you can stay and do some business."
Shui Yongquan asked in surprise, "Business? Let's not think about that for now. Find a way out for your men first."
"Business is in the way out, Brother Shui. Look at Brother Qiu's Proper Land, don't you want a piece? But I don't have a whole piece, but half a piece is negotiable."
"Half a Proper Land?" Shui Yongquan didn't quite understand what Li Banfeng meant.
The Qiu Luoye seemed to smile.
Shui Yongquan frowned and said, "What are you laughing at? Did you understand?"
Qiu Luoye shook her head. "I don't understand, and I don't need to understand. I'll listen to Seventh Brother."
Li Banfeng said, "Whether we can succeed or not depends on Brother Shui. The key is not to let us slip through our fingers."
Qiu Luoye laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. Old Shui may not have any other skills, but he's a real master of concealment. When he attacked my house, I didn't notice a thing."
Li Banfeng laughed, "Brother Qiu understands, Brother Shui, do you understand?"
As night fell, Qiao Shaofen inspected the area near the entrance to the new land and then circled the border line again.
She looked at the Qiu Luoye's Territory, her expression as indifferent as ever.
The Guanfang Envoy had a grudge against this group of people, and Qiao Shaofen didn't want to be implicated in anything.
"Kill them one by one." Qiao Shaofen not only made her stance clear, but also her methods clear.
The Kinless Village was small, and after walking around without finding any outsiders, Qiao Shaofen returned to the deserted village.
At the entrance of the village sat a tall and strong man, carrying two loads of sweet potatoes, resting on a stone.
Qiao Shaofen stepped forward, glanced at you, and asked, "Where are you from?"
The man looked up and honestly replied, "I'm from this town."
Qiao Shaofen didn't believe it. "You're from the same village, how dare you come here?"
This deserted village is a forbidden place for those Kinless Village.
The man blinked and said, "I've never been here before. I was walking at night tonight and somehow ended up on this road. I was planning to go to the market early tomorrow morning."
Qiao Shaofen asked, "You said you're from this township, which village do you live in? What's the Village Chief's surname? How many people are in your family?"
"I live in..." Qiu Luoye looked at Qiao Shaofen with a serious expression, and did not continue.
This passage actually has lyrics; Li Banfeng had prepared the lyrics for Qiu Luoye beforehand.
But there were too many words, and I didn't memorize the Qiu Luoye.
Qiao Shaofen sneered, "If you can't answer, don't blame me."
Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if he answered. From the moment Qiao Shaofen saw him enter the deserted village, she had no intention of letting him go.
Qiao Shaofen coughed and spat at the feet of the Qiu Luoye.
Before the saliva could even land, the Shui Yongquan gushed to the foot of the Qiu Luoye, and with a whoosh, sucked the saliva into its mouth, then spat out a clump of mud.
Qiu Luoye laughed, "Old Water, it tastes good, doesn't it!"
Shui Yongquan cursed, "This thing is a Mud Cultivator! I'm so wronged! Qiu Daxiang, after this is all over, let me pick a spot first!"
Qiao Shaofen was startled and realized that something was wrong. She turned to run away, but suddenly saw a figure flash past her.
Who is this?
Bang!
Qiao Shaofen felt a jolt in her chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and felt as if something inside her stomach had exploded.
Li Banfeng hid in the distance, frowning to himself. He had just glanced at Qiao Shaofen with Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers.
Such damage from Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers —just what level of cultivation does Qiao Shaofen possess?
Li Banfeng felt the damage wasn't severe enough, but for Shui Yongquan, gaining this much time was enough.
He untied the water gourd from behind him and splashed it at Qiao Shaofen. Thousands of water droplets hit Qiao Shaofen like bullets, leaving her covered in bloody holes.
This is the principle of "dripping water wears away stone, "Third Layer Technique Water Cultivator.
The technique wasn't particularly advanced, but the lethality was excellent.
Qiao Shaofen bled quite a bit, but the wound healed quickly. Li Banfeng was amazed by Qiao Shaofen's recovery speed, but Shui Yongquan was not surprised at all.
This is the characteristic of high-rise Mud Cultivator. Water dripping on stone wears away stone, and when it hits Mud Cultivator, it's like using a sharp tool to poke a hole in mud.
Shui Yongquan waved the water gourd again, and a curtain of water enveloped Qiao Shaofen.
Li Banfeng had seen this technique before; it was a high-level skill, the Water Cultivator Eighth Level Technique, Water Leakage and Sealing.
Once trapped by the water curtain, do not move. This water curtain is like a knife; it can cut you into mincemeat.
Without a second thought, Qiao Shaofen slipped through the water curtain.
Even with her high level of cultivation, she was still reduced to a pile of minced meat the moment she passed through the water curtain.
Even if it turned into minced meat, it didn't matter. The lump of minced meat crawled on the ground for a moment, then expanded, Shapeshifting, and turned back into Qiao Shaofen.
Although she was missing some skin and flesh, Qiao Shaofen was not seriously injured.
She pulled out her hairpin and threw it at the Shui Yongquan, causing a torrent of mud to pour down and nearly trap the Shui Yongquan.
The Shui Yongquan gushed out of the silt, and its sleeves suddenly grew longer, entangling Qiao Shaofen.
Qiao Shaofen tried to tear off the sleeve, but it was made of water. Her hands were submerged in the water, and no matter how she pulled, she couldn't get any strength out of it.
But when she tried to break free from the sleeve, it solidified, binding Qiao Shaofen tightly from head to toe, as if it could strangle her at any moment.
This is the Ninth Layer of Water Cultivator Technique. The sleeves are made of water, and whether they are solid or liquid depends entirely on their use in offense and defense.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Qiao Shaofen's body was ripped apart by Shui Yongquan's sleeve, and her entire body exploded into a bloody mess once again.
The mud was still wriggling, and it looked like it was about to recover. Qiu Luoye wanted to step on it, but were stopped by the Shui Yongquan.
"Old Shui, I've seen you two fight for quite a while now," Qiu Luoye finally couldn't take it anymore. "You two are going back and forth like this, not in a hurry at all. Do you have a crush on her?"
Shui Yongquan laughed, "That was just foreplay, now it's time for the real thing!"
As he spoke, Qiao Shaofen had already returned to human form. Shui Yongquan stood still with his hands outstretched, and a mist rose around him.
Seeing that Qiao Shaofen was about to escape, Li Banfeng took a short step to get close and stomped his foot on her foot with the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers.
The flying pebbles hit Qiao Shaofen, but Li Banfeng didn't expect to hurt her. Shui Yongquan's techniques were ineffective, so Li Banfeng's techniques were certainly not powerful enough. He just needed to buy some time for Shui Yongquan.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Shaofen was actually injured. The rubble pierced through her body, leaving many holes, but this time, the holes did not heal quickly.
Qiao Shaofen realized something was wrong. She wasn't bleeding much, but her wounds were very painful, and her joints were feeling stiff and numb.
She picked a bit of flesh and blood from her wound, intending to smear it on Li Banfeng, but Li Banfeng dodged it.
If he hadn't dodged it, Li Banfeng have been immediately encased in mud.
While Li Banfeng was away, Qiao Shaofen tried to escape, but Qiu Luoye kicked her to the ground from behind.
Logically speaking, Qiu Luoye's kick shouldn't have injured Qiao Shaofen.
If Qiao Shaofen were to transform into mud, she could trap the Qiu Luoye.
But now Qiao Shaofen can no longer be turned into mud.
She spat at the Qiu Luoye, trying to create a quagmire as a last-ditch effort.
But what she spat out wasn't saliva, but dried ash.
Having dealt with two Local Earth God and Li Banfeng until now, Qiao Shaofen's cultivation level is not low, and her combat strength is truly formidable.
However, she fell into Shui Yongquan's trap and was tactically outmaneuvered.
After hearing Li Banfeng's description, Shui Yongquan suspected that Qiao Shaofen was Mud Cultivator, but he was unsure whether it was Qiao Shaofen's own method or some kind of magic weapon.
So he used Qiu Luoye as bait to lure Qiao Shaofen into making the first move.
After Qiao Shaofen made her move, Shui Yongquan swallowed a mouthful of Qiao Shaofen saliva in order to confirm her Daoist sect.
Once it was confirmed that she was Mud Cultivator, the Shui Yongquan's tactics were also determined.
First, use water to wear away stone, then use water to seal the curtain, and then use a narrow strip of water. None of these techniques can cause fatal damage to the Mud Cultivator. As Shui Yongquan would say, this is the foreplay.
The purpose of foreplay is only one thing: to change the water, to slowly replace the water on Qiao Shaofen's body with Shui Yongquan.
The essence of high-rise Mud Cultivator is a lump of silt. It is not easy to replace all the water in the silt. Shui Yongquan used various techniques to achieve this.
After about half of the changes, the main event began.
When the real show began, it was time for the fatal blow. Shui Yongquan used the Water Cultivator Cloud Above Skill, which allowed him to throw water into water and collect spilled water.
First, mix your own water thoroughly with the remaining water from Qiao Shaofen until they are similar in properties and can accept the call of the Shui Yongquan. This is the Cloud Above Skill of throwing water into water.
After the technique was successfully executed, the Shui Yongquan collected most of the water. The mist around his body was the water he had collected. This is the Cloud Above Skill: Water Collection.
Li Banfeng moved quickly, and during this time, he helped Shui Yongquan buy some time.
After using these two techniques, Qiao Shaofen went from being a muddy Clay Figure to Clay Figure, and his combat power dropped sharply.
Shui Yongquan can no longer fight Qiao Shaofen, otherwise using his techniques would be tantamount to handing Qiao Shaofen water.
With Li Banfeng's current cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to kill Qiao Shaofen in a short time. If Qiao Shaofen could stall for time and find water, she would still have a chance to recover.
But Shui Yongquan and Li Banfeng no longer need to fight Qiao Shaofen, because now it's Qiu Luoye.
Qiao Shaofen tossed her head, and her loose hair transformed into worms in the mud, constantly gnawing at Qiu Luoye injecting venom into her body.
Qiu Luoye are not afraid of insect bites, nor are they afraid of this bit of poison.
He walked forward with a smile and crushed half of Qiao Shaofen's body with one foot.
Qiao Shaofen cried out hoarsely, "Hero, spare my life! I'll do anything you ask! I'll admit my mistake and kowtow to you!"
Qiu Luoye chuckled and said, "We're not related, why are you kowtowing? I can't accept it!"
Qiao Shaofen struggled to move half of her body, still trying to find a water source.
If she can buy some time, and if she can find water, she can recover.
But time doesn't stand still when Qiu Luoye, something Li Banfeng has experienced firsthand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Screams echoed, and muffled thuds continued.
Qiu Luoye unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, turning Qiao Shaofen into a pile of broken pieces.
Ban Feng felt heartbroken; his Wife had lost a meal, and he didn't even know if he could take these scraps back to Pill Refining.
But the deal was almost done.
The three of them looked at each other and laughed, their laughter growing even more excited.
