Come On, Let's Risk Our Lives

The person who came looking for the Qiu Luoye was a cultivator from the clouds.

He will bring two helpers, who may also be at the Cloud Realm level, or at least at the eighth or ninth level.

Li Banfeng used all his skills to fight, managing to entangle with someone on the Cloud Above First Layer outside the Portable Abode, but to win, he had to lure this person on the Cloud Above First Layer into the Portable Abode.

According to Qiu Luoye's description, the person sent by Inner State is clearly not Cloud Above First Layer, but his cultivation level may even be higher than Qiu Luoye's. Li Banfeng alone has little chance of winning, and his two helpers are even less capable of dealing with him.

Does Li Qi have no helpers?

He Yuxiu is one of them; she's a real fighter, and she has a natural understanding with Li Banfeng.

This is a life-or-death matter. It would be best if He Yuxiu was willing to help, but Li Banfeng wouldn't force her if she wasn't. Moreover, he couldn't let Xiu Er help for nothing; he had to give He Yuxiu some property in Seven Autumn City.

The Huo Ling has seven layers, which can barely hold out for a while.

Zuo Wugang, Aqin, Street Scolding Woman, Duan Wuchou Liang Wucai, Hundred Arms Lian, Peep Eight Directions, Chi Liuhe —all of these people are at the sixth level of cultivation. If they are all put together and under He Yuxiu's command, they might be able to hold off a Yunshang.

We can now handle about two cloud servers. But what if there's another cloud server on the other side?

Does Li Qi still have any fighting power?

Tan Fucheng's cultivation level is unknown, but his Daoist sect is special, so he might be able to go to the battlefield.

Lu Yuanxin is Insect Cultivator, and his Daoist sect is also special, but he only has four levels of cultivation.

Ma Wu is about to be promoted, but even if he is promoted, he will only be at the fourth level. Sending him to fight in the Cloud Realm would be suicide.

These combat forces are insufficient.

Should we go back to Decency Village and bring back the Shui Yongquan?

The place is too far away; the Shui Yongquan might not be able to get here in time.

Use Portable Abode to transport him here?

The Music Box alone probably won't be enough to subdue him.

The key is that the Shui Yongquan is extremely afraid of the Inner State, so he might not be willing to help with this matter.

Suggestions and rejections swirled in Li Banfeng's mind. He rubbed his forehead and shouted, "Pay attention to the order of speaking!"

Juanzi had just cooked a pot of dumplings, but before she could even plate them, a few hungry people ate half of them.

Before the New Year, Li Qi had rice, flour, wine, meat, sugar, and tea delivered to the group of Three-Headed People. For them, this was the happiest New Year of their lives.

Li Banfeng knocked on the door and entered Juanzi's house.

Several Three-Headed People stood up and invited Li Banfeng to sit down.

Some people poured wine, some offered cigarettes, and some came over to offer New Year's greetings.

Looking at the lanterns outside the window and the paper-cut window decorations, and at the sumptuous feast on the table.

On such a wonderful day, Li Banfeng didn't know how to bring it up.

He took off his backpack and emptied out a bag of silver dollars.

Juanzi was taken aback. "Seventh Master, what do you mean by this?"

Li Banfeng said, "It's Chinese New Year, so here are some red envelopes for everyone. There's also something I need to ask you all."

"Seventh Master, please take this money," Juanzi pushed the silver dollar back. "If you need anything, just let me know."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "It's not about giving orders, and I'm not in a position to do so. I'd like to ask, among you, who wants to make some quick money?"

This was an awkward way of putting it, but Li Banfeng didn't know how to express it.

Juanzi didn't understand. "Seventh Master, are you telling us to rob someone?"

"It wasn't robbery. I rarely do it now, well, I didn't do it much before either..."

Tomorrow, some ruthless guys are coming to seize this land. I want to fight them, and I'm thinking of hiring some helpers.

The price will definitely be fair to everyone. Anyone who wants to go, please find me in the woods tomorrow night.

Juanzi was silent for a moment, then asked, "Seventh Master, do you have any weapons?"

"Yes, I can produce a hundred or two weapons. If you can find me thirty or fifty men, or even a dozen or twenty, that will do. If you really can't find any, that's fine too. Anyone who's willing to go will be rewarded handsomely after the battle."

Li Banfeng took out the contract and handed it to Juanzi. This was a life-or-death matter; there could be no ambiguity about how much each person should be paid.

Juanzi accepted the contract, nodded, and said, "Seventh Master, wait for my news."

Back at his Portable Abode, Li Banfeng said to his Wife, "My darling, I need to take on three Cloud Realm enemies now. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Three on the cloud?" Hong Ying was stunned.

The record player, puffing out steam, said, "My dear husband, what are you doing on New Year's Day?!"

"Someone has come to my doorstep. If I don't drive him away, I won't be able to get through the New Year."

"Three cloud-based companies have attacked our doorstep together? What are their backgrounds?"

"They're from Inner State, trying to take over my newly opened territory."

A silence fell over the room. Hong Ying said to her Portable Abode, "Old man, let me out. I'll fight them with Seventh Son. How are you going to let Seventh Son take on three Cloud Realm cultivators?"

Although Portable Abode Hong Ying couldn't see, she felt that someone was scrutinizing her from all around her.

"You don't trust me?"

"Yes, I don't trust him," Portable Abode replied simply.

The record player sneered, "You bitch, you stabbed me in the back. How can the old man trust you? Old man, let me go out and help my husband."

"I don't trust you either."

The record player remained silent, then Hong Ying burst into laughter. "You Wicked Woman, who do you think you are, a good person?"

Portable Abode Shenju sighed and asked, "Seventh Brother, is this battle unavoidable?"

"A fight is inevitable!"

Portable Abode sighed, "Since you've made your decision, I can't stop you. But I'll be flexible in a critical moment."

The record player said, "My dear husband, you can't be stubborn in battle. If you can't win, you must retreat. Tell me what tactics the enemy has, Little Slave 'll advise you."

Means?

Li Banfeng only knew that there was a repairman across the street.

New Year's Day, nightfall.

In the courtyard where Qiu Luoye, Contract Guardian Spirit was busy with his work.

Yesterday, Contract Guardian Spirit was busy taking care of Qiu Luoye and didn't even have time to think about the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone put up couplets, hung lanterns, and changed into new clothes.

Qiu Luoye tightened their wounds, and holding a pair of Wolf Tooth Club, they stood in the courtyard, smiling as they said, "The New Year should be celebrated properly, even if this is the last one."

A python lit a pair of lanterns, dangling from its body, and flicked its tongue, saying, "Master Qiu, let's not talk about such unlucky things. Tonight, let's fight them, eat their flesh with our wine, and have a lively New Year!"

"That's well said!" Stone shouted from the side. "Even a dead tiger doesn't fall from its pedestal, let alone our Master Qiu, who's an elephant!"

That's a very...

Qiu Luoye and Tiger each kicked a stone.

Qiu Luoye lowered her voice and said to Tiger, "Look carefully, did Seventh Brother and the others really leave?"

Tiger nodded and said, "I saw it clearly. He took his men and, as you instructed, went to hide in Kinless Village."

"Just stay away. I'm afraid this kid will do something reckless and lose his life for nothing." Qiu Luoye gritted her teeth, tightened the bandages, and said to the tiger, "You should probably leave now."

"Master Qiu, we're not leaving! We'll die together!" Tiger roared and stood up.

"Nonsense! We'll share the good fortune together, but death isn't a good thing. What are you doing with me? Get out of here!"

The tiger doesn't leave.

There's something he's still afraid to say.

Li Banfeng didn't leave either.

He lay in ambush in the woods in front of the house, but Qiu Luoye was too badly injured to notice him.

He Yuxiu squatted on the tree and said, "Seventh Brother, didn't you find Three-Headed People? None of them came? You were kind to them back then."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "If it weren't for them, this land wouldn't have become Proper Land. I've thought about it repeatedly, and they probably account for Ninth Layer of the land's vitality. They've repaid that debt of gratitude."

Xiu Er, you've already repaid the favor you owed me. If things get complicated, take them and run.

"Nonsense!" He Yuxiu glared at Li Banfeng. "Let them run if they want. We kowtowed and swore oaths, how can we be the same?"

On Jun Yang Avenue, Ma Wu settled Lu Chunying and the others in and instructed them, "I've already spoken with the Guanfang Envoy. If those bastards come over later, you should hide in the Guanfang Hall. They definitely won't dare to cause trouble there."

Lu Chunying asked, "Fifth Brother, where are you going?"

"Go up the mountain."

"Seventh Brother won't let you go."

Ma Wu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. If Seventh Brother can come back, I'll come back with him. If he can't come back, then neither of us can come back."

"Fifth Brother..." Lu Chunying gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go up the mountain with you too."

"Take care of these people first. Where is Chu Er?"

"Huai Yuan said she wants to see your newly renovated restaurant."

"Why do we have to go now of all times?" Ma Wu frowned. "Besides, that restaurant is just a foundation; what's so interesting about it?"

Lu Chunying said, "Sister Huai Yuan looked at the blueprints before, and she said that the restaurant is extraordinary."

Upon hearing the mention of blueprints, Ma Wu was momentarily stunned.

I almost forgot, where did the person who drew the blueprints go?

Kui Peep Eight Directions looked towards Li Banfeng and held up three fingers.

Three people are coming from the other side.

There were indeed three; thankfully, the number wasn't too many.

Chu Shaoqiang possessed Peeping Cultivator Magical Treasure and sensed the ambush. He slowly walked towards the ambush area.

Behind him were two men. One of them was dressed in Slanting Placket Changshan, Round Hat, and a Folding Fan. He was dressed like a scholar and his name was Scholar Guo.

The other person was wearing a short jacket with a front opening. It looked simple and casual, but in fact, the material was light and the workmanship was exquisite. There was not a single bit of excess. It was a high-quality garment for a martial artist. This person was a martial arts practitioner named Tian Dasong.

As Wenxiu Scholar Guo walked, he said, "I used to only know about gentlemen on the roof beams, but now I've seen gentlemen in the trees."

If you're a gentleman, you should be open and honest. Who among you isn't terrified? Come down and say a few words.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone had the urge to jump off the tree.

The Shared Script, Shared Rules Technique.

Judging from the strength of the technique, this cultivator is at least at the eighth level. Whether he is above the Cloud Realm is another matter. Li Banfeng and He Yuxiu can barely withstand it, while the others grit their teeth and endure it, as if their flesh is being torn apart inch by inch.

Wenxiu Scholar Guo stood at the edge of the ambush, neither going in nor taking any precautions, which was a blatant mockery of everyone.

"Oh dear, what kind of scoundrel calls himself a gentleman? When did the word 'gentleman' become so worthless?" The Street Scolding Woman's words eased the tension among the crowd considerably.

The Street Scolding Woman continued her tirade, "What the hell do you mean by 'open and honest'? You try being open and honest, let me see if you can really bring yourself to do it!"

These few words of cursing were so satisfying that the technique of asking the same question and following the same path was dispelled.

Scholar Guo smiled and said, "So we're kindred spirits."

Is the Street Scolding Woman street Wenxiu?

Li Banfeng thought there were specialized people who would criticize and repair.

"Pah!" the Street Scolding Woman. "Who the hell shares your path? You're shameless! What kind of sect do you belong to, you thief? You, a thieving cultivator, dare to be my comrade?"

Scholar Guo laughed and said, "You hide in the shadows, too ashamed to show your face, yet you dare to call me a thief?"

The Street Scolding Woman yelled, "You're a thief for breaking into a house at night!"

"Which house did I break into? Is this mountain forest your home? Gathering people in the mountains, aren't you a bandit?"

The two started hurling insults at each other, seemingly discussing the definition of "thief," but it wasn't that simple in reality.

The Street Scolding Woman was fighting desperately.

The two are competing in skill.

The Street Scolding Woman wanted to provoke Wenxiu across the street and lure him into an ambush.

Scholar Guo, on the other hand, wanted to use his Scholar Cultivation Technique to force Li Banfeng and the others out of their ambush.

During their shouting match, the Street Scolding Woman vomited blood; her cultivation was inferior to her opponent's.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Scholar Guo launched an offensive, determined to deal directly with the Street Scolding Woman: "Shameless shrew, nearing the end of her life, spewing vulgarities, resembling a mangled old dog, baring her teeth and barking wildly."

Old dog, save your energy. I know your days are numbered. There's a bowl of hot soup in the outhouse down the mountain. Go and eat your fill while it's hot. Don't become a vengeful ghost on the Road to the Underworld.

"Old dog, why aren't you saying anything? Old dog, please don't just die like this..."

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo~"

Li Banfeng suddenly jumped down from the tree, letting out a long howl that interrupted Scholar Guo.

Upon seeing this, Scholar Guo smiled and said, "Well done! Let's see where you think you're going this time..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wenxiu suddenly felt a tightness in his throat.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A burst of rapid drumbeats suddenly rendered Scholar Guo speechless.

It felt as if a knife was churning inside his brain, causing Scholar Guo to lose his balance and nearly fall.

Chu Shaoqiang and the martial artist also felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, wondering what technique the other party had used.

Scholar Guo was injured, with blood flowing from his eyes and ears. Before he could recover, Li Banfeng had already straddled him and swung his sickle down at his face.

Despite knowing the immense dangers, Li Banfeng persisted in his Willful and Determined. His speed was so fast that Chu Shaoqiang couldn't immediately discern his level, and his sickle struck Scholar Guo's face like rain.

Chu Shaoqiang and Tian Dasong wanted to help, but a powerful force suddenly struck, forcing them back. Scholar Guo's body stiffened, and he suffered another severe injury.

The drumbeats came from the Wife, and the imposing presence came from Hong Ying.

Portable Abode opened the door for a moment, then closed it again. It could only be opened for a short while, otherwise Portable Abode itself might be exposed.

The Portable Abode karaoke machine and Hong Ying said, "I've already made an exception. The rest is up to you men."

In that split second of change, both the Wife and Hong Ying gave it their all, and most of the damage was borne by Scholar Guo alone.

Now, Li Banfeng kept stabbing Scholar Guo in the face. Scholar Guo didn't know how many times he was stabbed. He couldn't resist, but he couldn't break free either.

Is this a Travel Cultivator?

Why is the Travel Cultivator fighting like this?

He doesn't use techniques or maneuvering; he fights like a madman.

This was a tactic devised jointly by Wife and Li Banfeng.

The enemy has entered the ambush area. The terrain is advantageous and the distance is suitable, so victory can be achieved through skillful coordination.

If the enemy doesn't enter the ambush area, the terrain and positioning are unsuitable, and their techniques cannot be coordinated, they will be neutralized one by one by the skilled craftsmen.

In this situation, we cannot proceed step by step. The best option is to take the help of Wife and Hong Ying and use Travel Cultivator speed to take down one of them first.

Li Banfeng chose Wenxiu Scholar Guo, intending to eliminate him as his first target.

Scholar Guo was seriously injured, but his cultivation level was high enough that his injuries were not fatal and he still had the strength to fight back.

He dipped his finger in his own blood and wrote the character "knife" on Li Banfeng's body.

The sixth level of literary cultivation A Word Worth a Thousand Gold!

The word "knife" truly transformed into a knife, stabbing Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng neither dodged nor parried, taking the blow head-on. He used his sickle to hook Scholar Guo's left eye.

Guo Jinshi wrote another word "knife".

Li Banfeng was stabbed again, and then picked up his sickle to buy Scholar Guo's right eye.

Every strike is a blood exchange; what kind of fighting style is this?

Tian Dasong came up to grab Li Banfeng, but He Yuxiu kicked him away.

Tian Dasong knocked He Yuxiu down, and Zuo Wugang and Hundred Arms Lian desperately grabbed Tian Dasong from behind, while the others rushed forward and attacked him together.

Guo Jinshi wrote the word "rob" and took away Li Banfeng's sickle. Li Banfeng took out a shovel and shoveled it on Guo Jinshi's head.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Blade stabbed Scholar Guo in the back of the heart, and the pendulum went into his collar and cut Scholar Guo's neck.

Scholar Guo exerted all his strength and wrote twelve "forbidden" characters in one go. This move was powerful, rendering all magical weapons and armor unusable.

Li Banfeng bit down hard on Scholar Guo's neck, causing blood to gush out.

Chu Shaoqiang remained calm. He quickly figured out the opponent's tactics and prepared to use his magic weapon to deal with the madman on Scholar Guo first.

Chu Huaiyuan appeared suddenly in front of Chu Shaoqiang with a smile.

Chu Shaoqiang asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Huaiyuan laughed and said, "I'm coming to fight you to the death."

Chu Shaoqiang said calmly, "You don't know who I am, and you don't need to know now. Just leave here."

"I know who you are," Chu Huaiyuan suddenly stopped smiling, rolled her eyes at Chu Shaoqiang, "Dad, I'm really here to fight you to the death."
