You better watch it, you dog, Long Xiaoyun. If I don't die today, I'll spank your ass black and blue.
No, I'll spank Lin Shiyin's ass too.
Li Hao was depressed. Back then, he only bought an iron sword worth three taels of silver because he was broke. Who knew today...
"The craftsman who wishes to do his work well must first sharpen his tools." The ancients truly did not deceive me. Counterfeit and shoddy products are harmful!
Just as Duan Yanqing's steel crutch was about to land on Li Hao's chest, Duan Yanqing even saw the despair on Li Hao's face. The Xiantian-stage protective qi was no match for the full power of a Grandmaster-stage expert.
The moment Duan Yanqing's steel crutch struck Li Hao, Duan Yanqing felt as if he had hit cotton – soft and without any point of leverage. Then, a tremendous force surged from the steel crutch to his hand.
Damn it, what kind of disgusting skill is this? Duan Yanqing cried out inwardly, his body instantly sent flying backward.
Ning Zhongze, whose tears were already welling up, repelled Ye Erniang with a sword and quickly rushed to Li Hao's side.
"Are you hurt?" She patted Li Hao all over, checking his condition.
If the circumstances had allowed, she probably would have stripped Li Hao to check him more thoroughly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Duan Yanqing's crutch felt so light, it didn't hurt at all when it hit me," Li Hao said with a grin.
"Are you really okay?" Ning Zhongze was a little skeptical. She had fought Duan Yanqing before and knew exactly how powerful his steel crutches were. If they had really felt light, she wouldn't have sustained internal injuries.
"I'm really fine. Sister Ning, I'm so fine that you could grab a few young girls and have a wedding night with me right now." Li Hao hugged Ning Zhongze tightly and kissed her fiercely.
Ning Zhongze initially tried to push him away, but Li Bai's tongue pried open her teeth and slipped a pill inside.
Lesser Rejuvenation Pill. Ning Zhongze instantly knew what it was. She had relied on this very pill to save her life after her last severe injury.
"What are you doing? So many people are watching," Li Hao finally pulled away. Ning Zhongze's face was flushed red as she playfully hit Li Hao's chest with her hands.
"We're old married couple, what's there to be shy about? I'll dote on my own wife and make these single dogs envious and jealous!" Li Hao said shamelessly.
"Boss, are you alright!" Seeing Duan Yanqing spitting blood and flying backward, Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe immediately rushed over.
"This brat is strange. I struck him with all my might, but all the force was deflected. Then, a stronger force rebounded back, and I was injured by that rebound," Duan Yanqing said, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth again.
"Boss, what do we do?" Yun Zhonghe, the most inconspicuous of the Four Evils, panicked when their leader was injured.
"Li Hao, hand over my third brother's body, and we'll call it even. Our grudges will be settled from now on. How about it?" Duan Yanqing relented. This was the first time he had backed down since becoming famous.
"Not interested. Why should I hand over the person I captured?" Li Hao said loudly, with one arm around Ning Zhongze.
He had almost been killed by that crutch. This was a major offense. And they wanted to call it even? Dream on. Impossible.
"Li Hao, the third brother is already dead. The dead should be respected and buried. Don't you understand this?" Duan Yanqing was angry again. He swore this was the angriest he had ever been.
"He may be buried, but I'm not at peace! I was almost smashed to death by his elder brother just now. You want to take his body away without paying any price? Dream on."
"Yan Shun," Li Hao said without turning his head.
"Your subordinate is here." Yan Shun, who had sustained some minor injuries, replied excitedly.
His young master was too formidable, able to clash with a Grandmaster-stage expert and even injure him with a rebound. Such strength would make him a top-tier expert in the martial world.
Following his young master through the Jianghu, becoming famous throughout the land was only a matter of time.
"Go catch a few wild dogs, then chop up Yue Laosan and feed him to the dogs!" Li Hao said casually.
His expression made anyone watching think he did this sort of thing regularly.
"You got it!" Yan Shun didn't question him and immediately led his men to catch wild dogs.
"Let's be merciful when we can. Don't provoke them further," Ning Zhongze said, pinching Li Hao's soft spot at his waist and giving him a deathly 360-degree spin.
"That won't do. We were just minding our own business, and they kept coming to cause trouble. Do they really think I, Li Hao, am easy to bully? Besides, haven't you seen how many of our men are injured!" Li Hao slapped her backside firmly.
Ning Zhongze looked back. Many of the thirty knights bore injuries, and two were being supported by the carriages, motionless, their lives uncertain.
"Yi Lin, come here. Give these medicines to the brothers so they can heal quickly." Li Hao took out a bag from his embrace and handed it to Yi Lin. It was filled entirely with Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.
This single bag of Lesser Rejuvenation Pills could fetch a hefty sum if sold.
"Yes, husband." Yi Lin trotted over, took the bag, and ran to the back to distribute them.
"Take these, just in case." Li Hao took out another small bag and tucked it into the pocket of Ning Zhongze's chest, even rummaging around in the pocket.
Only he knew what he had "found."
"Li Hao, name your price. What will it take for you to return my third brother's body..."
"Young Master, I'm back. We couldn't find any wild dogs, but we caught a few wolves." Duan Yanqing's words were cut off by Yan Shun's voice.
The ecological environment in ancient times was indeed good. Yan Shun and the knights who had dealt with Yue Laosan returned within minutes, each carrying two wild wolves.
Yes, they were carrying them, as if they were carrying small dogs.
Wild wolves: Where is your manners?
"Name your price! Look, all my men are injured, and even I have serious internal injuries. As the instigator of this fight, shouldn't you provide compensation?" Li Hao said, stroking his chin.
"How much do you want?" Duan Yanqing swore that Li Hao was the most shameless person he had ever met.
"These Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, let's just say they're worth at least a thousand taels each, if not ten thousand. You do the math for 35 pills." Li Hao couldn't be bothered to waste words.
Yan Shun and his men were marveling at the powerful healing effects of their young master's medicine. Hearing Li Hao's words, some were even contemplating inducing vomiting to retrieve the Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.
Yan Shun: Young Master, you should have said this medicine was worth a thousand taels earlier! My injuries aren't fatal; if I had known, I would have saved them and sold them. It would have been enough to sleep in brothels for a year!
"Li Hao, let's be straightforward. I only have 100,000 taels of silver notes here. If we agree, we deal. If not, we part ways." Duan Yanqing was also suffering from internal injuries due to anger.
