Guests at the Portable Residence
" Within my Within the Earth, I am the master! Hahaha!" Li Banfeng laughed loudly.
A shadowy figure walked up beside him and said, "You've laughed enough, come lend a hand. It's not easy moving so many corpses!"
Li Banfeng cleaned up the more than sixty Three-Headed People, and after moving the corpses, he simply tidied up the battlefield with his gloves.
Gloves was really working hard: "Honey, teach me the Shadows Pitying Each Other's technique. I want to create a few clones too. It's too tiring for me to do this all by myself." "Do you want to learn 'Shadows Pitying Each Other'?" Li Banfeng asked Gloves very seriously.
"Sure," the glove said, thinking it was just a joke and shouldn't be taken so seriously. "Then you'll have to become my apprentice!"
"Sure thing." He didn't care too much about the gloves. It wasn't a bad idea to become the head of the family's apprentice. "Then let's get ready. You can start the apprenticeship now!" Li Banfeng became more and more serious as he spoke.
"Master, stop fooling around. Now is not the time for an apprenticeship!"
"Isn't now the right time?" Li Banfeng said angrily. "You're not sincere in your desire to learn, so I'm not going to teach you anymore."
The man in the gloves carefully observed Li Banfeng and realized he wasn't joking. His mental state was somewhat unusual, resembling his state in Gourd Village. The Mad Cultivation Skill seemed to still have lingering effects; Li Banfeng hadn't yet shaken off its influence.
"Master, isn't this battle over? It's about time we dealt with these shadows."
"What are we going to do with this? It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, it'll be so lively!" Li Banfeng led dozens of shadows, running wildly across the wilderness. Along the way, the shadows chatted and laughed, the atmosphere as festive as the New Year.
"Is today Chinese New Year?" "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, today isn't."
"How can it not count? It's the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the day to worship the Seventh Lord. We're all Li Qi, so for us, today definitely counts as New Year's." "I really want to go to the temple fair! In Third Ridge, our Li Qi are definitely the coolest guys!"
"You were so shiny just now!"
"Really?" The shadow looked at itself carefully. "I think I've been exposed to daylight."
Li Banfeng turned around and said, "You're not allowed to go home later. Let's finish processing Tianguang first!"
The group rushed towards the border, but before they had gone far, they saw the Carriage Driver and Lu Qianjiao surrounded by more than two hundred Three-Headed People.
The Carriage Driver held the cart shaft in his hand and used the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers to try to force the Three-Headed People back, but the power of his "Trample Ten Thousand Rivers" technique was actually limited. In Li Banfeng's opinion, it was not much stronger than a large firecracker.
Although Li Banfeng was mentally unstable, he knew he couldn't openly mock the Carriage Driver. The fact that the Carriage Driver to take action was already a great favor.
Li Banfeng, with his shadow in tow, rushed into the crowd and shouted to the Carriage Driver, "You go first, don't worry about me, I have a way to get away. Um..." Before he could finish speaking, the Carriage Driver was already gone.
After Li Banfeng and his shadow rushed in, they disrupted the Three-Headed People's formation. The Carriage Driver seized the opportunity to escape without hesitation. Lu Qianjiao glanced at Li Banfeng: "Brother, what were you doing..."
"Enough talk, let's go!" Li Banfeng waved his hand impatiently. Lu Qianjiao, still keeping an eye on the Carriage Driver, worried he might abandon the cart and run away, quickly chased after them. Li Banfeng, alone, along with his shadow, fought against over two hundred Three-Headed People. The captain immediately ordered, "The..."
He was about to explain the first tactic, but before he could finish speaking, three figures rushed forward, each slicing off one of their heads. According to tactical protocol, with the sergeant gone, the vice-sergeant took over command.
The remaining two centurions looked at each other but neither spoke.
Opening one's mouth seems like a death sentence; no matter how strong one's execution ability is, no one is unafraid of death.
Without command, the combat effectiveness of these two hundred Three-Headed People was greatly reduced, and they engaged in a chaotic battle with Li Banfeng's shadow. In a truly chaotic fight, no one could match Li Banfeng; the two hundred men suffered increasing losses and casualties. Just as they were about to break through the encirclement, they suddenly saw a group of people running towards them from afar.
The centurion shouted, "Reinforcements are here! Brothers, let's fight them!" And indeed, reinforcements arrived.
There are indeed more than three thousand Innocent Army in this area. More than eight thousand of them are tied down by the Peddler. They originally planned to launch a general attack tonight. If they really manage to get up the mountain, none of the ten thousand Three-Headed People on the mountain will survive.
Now the Peddler couldn't hold out any longer. He was just pacing around on the mountain, neither advancing nor retreating. The Three-Headed People had already realized there was a problem, and they sent men to chase after him.
Gloves wasn't worried. With the battle going their way, Li Banfeng had plenty of opportunities to escape. "Let them chase us. We can shake off these Three-Headed People right now. The rest of them won't be able to catch up to our leader, no matter how hard they try!"
Li Banfeng holds a different opinion.
"Run? Run for what? If we run, won't we lose our momentum?"
"Honey, what are you doing? Honey, you can't do this! Honey..."
Li Banfeng didn't run. He left some of his shadows behind to continue fighting, and led the remaining shadows in a charge towards the Three-Headed People army. "No, boss!"
There are thousands of troops on the other side!
Even the gloves were in despair, and they didn't know what to do with all their magical treasures.
When they saw Li Banfeng charging towards them, the Three-Headed People army was stunned; they couldn't figure out what kind of tactic this was.
It doesn't matter if you can't tell. The Three-Headed People have a fixed routine. The captain ordered the execution of the third tactic. The key part of the third tactic is that the Armored Ones will block the enemy while the fighters form an encirclement. This is a key tactic for dealing with the enemy's charge.
The Armored Ones are a very special type of Dark Energy User. There is no corresponding sect for these Dark Energy User in Pro State. They actually correspond to a type of body cultivator with special external armor, including shrimp, crabs, beetles, scorpions, and the like.
Their dark abilities are relatively simple: they cover their bodies with a thick, rough armor, increasing their weight to withstand enemy impacts through sheer weight and sturdiness.
These Dark Energy User can play a crucial role in resisting enemy charges. In the Three Heads Junction, many Three-Headed People will choose to fight to the death when there is no hope of survival. However, when facing the Armored Ones, their full-force charge will be directly blocked. After being surrounded by the fighters, they will be met with a highly efficient encirclement and killing.
Faced with such a simple and efficient tactic, Li Banfeng's strategy was to kill the sergeant.
He flew up, past the Armored Ones, and arrived near the captain. He then used the Cut Path Opening Road to separate the surrounding soldiers, simultaneously severing the captain's body as well. Li Banfeng discovered that the captain was a very interesting character.
Within the Innocent Army, the captain is the only one in the entire system who needs to make judgments and think things through. Of course, if the captain is killed, there will be a vice-captain, and if the vice-captain is killed in action, someone else will take his place.
Even if someone takes over, this tactic will still work, just like when dealing with the ambush earlier. By eliminating them one by one, the enemy's command system can be destroyed. However, Li Banfeng's response this time was flawed. Due to his mental state, his thinking was clearly not thorough enough.
No vice-commander was appointed to replace the captain because there were no issues with the captain's current command. The captain is dead, and there are still no problems?
This is the Innocent Army's standard strategy for dealing with the death of their commander. If the commander's tactical deployments are still suitable for the current battle situation, the tactics must continue to be implemented. He ordered the use of the third set of tactics, the purpose of which was to surround Li Banfeng. Li Banfeng is now surrounded, and the tactics are flawless.
Li Banfeng, trapped in the encirclement, had to break through. The scholars and Judges around him unleashed their techniques on him like a tsunami. "Determine Victory, Decide Life and Death, Not Retreating Half a Step!" Seeing Virtue, Think of Equaling It Li Banfeng Shared Script, Shared Rules could use the Scholar Cultivation Technique together so smoothly.
Amidst the clamor, Li Banfeng abandoned his plan to break through and prepared to fight head-on.
He didn't want to Expand Territory; he even abandoned all techniques. He had no tactics in mind and only wanted to fight his opponent in hand-to-hand combat to the Decide Life and Death.
All the shadows, along with all the magical artifacts around them, lost their reason amidst the roar. Now, all they had left was a burning fighting spirit, determined to fight alongside Li Banfeng to the last man.
This is the fighting strength of the Innocent Army.
Having lost his mind, Li Banfeng didn't care how many injuries he had sustained or how many people were on the other side. He only cared about fighting desperately. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he died in the chaos of battle.
Clang!
The Peddler who had broken through the encirclement from the mountain saw the large crowd and rushed over to investigate, only to encounter Li Banfeng, whose eyes were bloodshot from the fighting. Hearing the sound of the Pellet Drum, the Innocent Army's offensive eased slightly, and Li Banfeng also regained some composure.
The Peddler grabbed a handful of pepper from his cart and sprinkled it into the air.
Thousands of three-headed people choked on the fumes, their noses and eyes watering, unable to speak for a moment. The Peddler shoved Li Banfeng aside. "Leave this to me, you go!"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Okay."
Once he regained his senses, Li Banfeng could have broken through the Cut Path Opening Road, but he didn't. He pushed the Peddler's cart and left.
Because he was not fully conscious.
The Peddler was stunned for a moment, then shouted at Li Banfeng, "What are you doing with my cart?" Li Banfeng did not explain.
He had his eye on this car for a long time.
You see, this cart is so interesting. It has such a big cabinet on top, and it has all sorts of things inside. He had wanted to try pushing it before, but he was worried that the Peddler wouldn't allow it. Today, he felt that the time was just right.
Is it appropriate to rob Peddler's cart during a war?
It might not be appropriate, but Li Banfeng isn't thinking about that now; he's very happy!
He pushed his cart and disappeared into a group of shadows. The Peddler, left with no other choice, followed him into the shadows.
After catching up with Li Banfeng, the Peddler snatched back his cart, looked around at the surroundings, and turned to Li Banfeng, saying, "Why did you bring me here?" The rectangular room contained a bed, a shelf, and a coffee table.
This is the carriage of the Small Train. The Small Train was given to Li Banfeng by Peddler is very familiar with it.
"Since you're here, please have a seat." Li Banfeng poured the Peddler a cup of tea from the Old Teapot, then continued carrying his cart. A group of shadows surrounded the Peddler, gesturing for him to sit down.
"I'm not in the mood to sit right now, let's settle the bill later." The Peddler pulled his cart, trying to leave, but found the door of Portable Abode wouldn't open. Portable Abode spoke up, "Don't stand on ceremony, this isn't your first time here."
The Peddler frowned and said, "Small Train, what do you mean by this now?"
The Small Train laughed and said, "Nothing special, just catching up, it's been so long since we last met."
Portable Abode outside, a group of Three-Headed People appeared. The Peddler had disappeared, and the madman had also vanished.
And a group of dark-skinned lunatics have also disappeared.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, a dark-skinned madman suddenly jumped up from the ground and used a move to Cut Path Opening Road.
A path was cleared through the Three-Headed People who had formed a tight encirclement, and the dark-skinned madman ran out along the path as fast as he could.
If they had been on guard, these Three-Headed People wouldn't have let this madman escape. A single concentrated attack would have been enough to tear him apart, assuming he actually had flesh and skin.
This madman is a shadow of Li Banfeng.
Ban Feng said that one shadow was not allowed to go home because it seemed to be illuminating the daylight.
They usually joke around, but they're never ambiguous about serious matters. Ban Feng said he couldn't go home, and this shadow really can't go home.
This shadow cannot fly or use the skill of Riding the Wind and Driving the Clouds, but in terms of speed, these Three-Headed People really can't catch up with him. He is holding something very important in his hand and is running wildly towards the boundary.
Zhao Xiaowan and Hong Ying were still waiting by the boundary line when they vaguely saw someone approaching from the other side. Zhao Xiaowan quickly adjusted her aim and immediately fired, a shadow crossing the boundary line.
Lu Qianjiao followed the Carriage Driver onto the hidden bridge. As they hurried along, Lu Qianjiao sensed that there were people outside the bridge. "Che Wushang, don't you think there are people around here?"
"What can anyone do if there's no one around?" The Carriage Driver was too lazy to care about the matter. "This bridge is about to collapse, you'd better hurry up!" The Carriage Driver wasn't talking nonsense; the hidden bridge really was about to collapse.
According to the Peddler's plan, the Gluttonous Old Carriage carrying over 10,000 people would weigh about the same as 100 people. Li Banfeng said the hidden bridge could hold 100 people, which would be perfect for the Peddler. But in reality, the safe load-bearing capacity of the hidden bridge was only 80 people, and 100 people was already the limit of the bridge's capacity.
The Carriage Driver was terrified; his instinct to Auspiciousness and Avoiding Calamity told him that the bridge was about to collapse.
Zhao Xiaowan was also very worried. She didn't dare to say for sure that the hidden bridge could withstand the pressure. Judging from the various indicators on the instrument, the condition of the hidden bridge was not good, and many components had already malfunctioned.
Meow~
The Dark Bridge Cannon emitted a low hum, indicating that the hidden bridge was about to collapse.
The shadows on the boundary line swayed constantly, and the dark bridge inside the wormhole also swayed continuously.
Lu Qianjiao was a little flustered, but the Carriage Driver remained calm. "Run with all your might, and you'll be fine once you get out!"
After all, he was the number one Carriage Driver in Pro State. Che Wushang pulled Gluttonous Old Carriage and rushed out with Lu Qianjiao before the dark bridge collapsed, putting down the carriage shaft. The Carriage Driver sat on the ground to rest for a while, his legs trembling.
Lu Qianjiao was exhausted from fighting all the way and sat down by the roadside to catch her breath.
Zhao Xiaowan was still maintaining the hidden bridge when she turned back and asked the two men, "Where is my husband?" The Carriage Driver remained silent.
Lu Qianjiao said in a low voice, "He hasn't come out yet..."
Hong Ying raised her spear and pointed it at Lu Qianjiao, saying, "You wretch, you've come out. Why didn't Seventh Son come out?" Lu Qianjiao had no answer.
She was a renowned general, and now she has escaped the battlefield, leaving behind a young man. Young man, where have you gone?
Li Banfeng, carrying his cart, was having tea with the Peddler in the Portable Abode. A woman in her twenties, wearing a light blue dress and with her long hair tied up, sat beside the tea table, giving the Peddler a sinister smile.
The woman had a slightly long face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes. When she spoke, her eyes sparkled with her tone of voice, and her gaze was very Spiritual Qi. She had a high nose bridge and luscious red lips. Her beauty was not as good as Zhao Xiaowan's, and she was barely on the same level as Hong Ying. However, if she were placed among ordinary people, she would be a beauty that was one in a million.
"Hehe!" The beauty smiled at the Peddler took a sip of tea and almost spat it out.
After calming down for a moment, the Peddler said to the woman, "We need to make things clear. Your father's refusal to become sworn brothers with you isn't my fault!" The girl nodded and said, "It's not your fault."
"It's not my fault that the Old Train didn't marry your sister!"
Ninth Girl thought for a moment, "This matter is related to you!"
The Peddler denied it. "Don't talk nonsense! What does it have to do with me if the Old Train doesn't agree?"
Ninth Girl sighed, "Fine, I'll just pretend it's not your fault!"
The Peddler continued, "It's not my fault that your sister set up her own business and established the Crazy Cultivation Sect. Her cultivation level is high enough, and the sect can indeed stand firm, so I should just give her the medicine powder."
The girl nodded and said, "Okay, it's not your fault!"
The Peddler frowned and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
Ninth Girl frowned, her face darkening. "I just want to ask you one question: is the destruction of Fool's City your fault?"
The Peddler was silent for a moment, then looked up at Li Banfeng: "Brother, what's the matter? Did you come here specifically to question me?"
"I just invited you over for a cup of tea, but I didn't expect Jiuer to show up." Li Banfeng opened the truck's drawer, stepped on the switch, and the drawer could be closed. This truck is so much fun; you can never get enough of playing with it.
The Peddler nodded and said, "So she's from your Ninth Room the family!"
Ninth Girl yelled at Li Banfeng, "I told you not to call me Jiuer! It sounds like your concubine, the youngest one!" The Peddler asked, "Not the youngest, then which one are you?"
"I am his..." Ninth Girl wanted to say that she was his senior sister, but then she felt that it was best not to tell the Peddler about Yu Xiu. "I am his ninth one."
Ninth Girl gritted her teeth and accepted it.
Li Banfeng crawled into the container. "Senior brother, I don't know what grudges you have in the past. I had never seen Jiuer before you came. This is the first time she has shown her true form."
The Peddler scoffed, "So what if you've revealed your true form? Want to fight me?"
Ninth Girl said hatefully, "If it weren't for the fact that I can't beat you, I would have fought you to the death long ago."
The Peddler chuckled and said, "If you're too scared to fight, then don't say anything. Come back to me when you've learned your lesson."
Portable Abode asked, "The Old Train is stuck in Inner State, do you think it's your fault or not?"
The Peddler remained silent.
The Calculation Cultivator from the Eighth House shouted, "I solve problems for them every day, and when I can't solve them, they beat me. Tell me, is this your fault or not?" The Peddler didn't say anything.
The man from the Seventh Chamber shouted, "I don't know how long I've been here, I almost forgot about my own sect. Tell me, is this your fault or not?" The Peddler lowered his head.
The Fifth Chamber daughter shouted, "I've forgotten about the Daoist sect, I've forgotten everything, I don't even remember if I've ever seen you. Tell me, isn't this your fault?"
The Peddler slammed his fist on the table. "You don't even remember if you've seen me or not, and you're trying to pin this on me!"
Li Banfeng, holding the truck, shouted, "Stop arguing, everyone. I invited my senior brother here so we could have a cup of tea and then leave Three Heads Junction, not so you could talk about this nonsense or mess around with my senior brother's truck."
The Peddler nodded. "That makes more sense. Get off my cart first."
Li Banfeng got off the truck and sat down opposite the Peddler.
The Peddler asked, "You fought a bloody battle with the Innocent Army to rescue me?" How should one answer this question?
Tell the truth?
The truth is this: I was out of my mind at the time, I just wanted to fight the Innocent Army to the death, I had no idea you were coming. Later I fell victim to the Innocent Army's techniques, and if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to leave even if I wanted to.
That's not a very appropriate way to put it...
After a moment's thought, Li Banfeng changed his approach. "Senior brother, I don't know when you'll arrive, but as long as you haven't come, I'll fight them to the bitter end, I absolutely won't leave!"
From a certain perspective, this statement is also true.
The Peddler was also very moved, picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Alright! This brother was worth it." He drank two more cups of tea, Portable Abode reminded him, "We're almost there."
Li Banfeng said, "There's another friend here. Would you like to meet him?" The Peddler asked, "Is he an old friend?"
"It's an old friend, a very close old friend of yours. I'll go and bring Hua Jiuer over." The Peddler looked at the Ninth Girl: "You're Jiuer, but who is Hua Jiuer?"
Ninth Girl laughed, "Red Lotus, aren't you two old acquaintances?" The Peddler looked at Li Banfeng in surprise, "Red Lotus is with you?"
Li Banfeng frowned and said, "Why are you pretending so much? It's like you don't know anything."
The Peddler waved his hand and said, "Don't tell anyone about this. I have urgent business to attend to. Red Lotus is gone now, so I'll be going now."
After saying that, the Peddler pushed his cart to open the door, but Li Banfeng quickly stepped forward to stop him. "If you don't want to see me, then don't. Wait a little longer, we'll talk about it after you cross the line."
Hong Ying was about to fight with Lu Qianjiao, Zhao Xiaowan didn't even glance at her.
She stood by the boundary line, gazing longingly at the other side, her eyes yearning for Li Banfeng's return. Hong Ying pressed Lu Qianjiao, "Where on earth has my Seventh Son gone?"
Lu Qianjiao couldn't answer, and Zhao Xiaowan prepared to fire again. "Yingying, I'll be crossing over here in a bit. Help me control the Dark Bridge Cannon. I'll go find my own man myself!" Hong Ying walked to the boundary line and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know how to set up any Dark Bridge Cannon. Just fire one now and send me across. I'll bring Seventh Son back!"
As they were talking, a figure appeared on the other side of the boundary.
Hong Ying exclaimed happily, "Xiao Wan, look! Isn't that Seventh Son?"
Zhao Xiaowan looked closely for a long time. "His build is the same as Qi Seventh Son's, but why is this person so dark-skinned?"
