Five Tigers Gate-Severing Blade

The scene froze instantly. Li Shan and his two companions also wore cold smiles and took a slight step back to prevent the other party from resorting to desperate measures. Li Danliu and Wang Erhu gripped their broadswords, their veins bulging, clearly enraged.

"Three!" Li Shan smiled, and the knife in his hand was once again close to the man's neck. The sharp blade was pressed against the neck, and had even slightly cut a layer of skin. The man being held was breathing less and less, and it was clear that he was not going to survive.

"You son of a bitch, Li Shan, you just wait! I'll eat your flesh and drink your blood!" Wang Erhu's tears streamed down his face. He glanced at his elder brother and made up his mind. Surrendering was the worst-case scenario; leaving everything to the enemy was the most foolish thing to do.

"Second! It seems your brotherhood is nothing more than this!" Li Shan narrowed his eyes, knowing that these two were probably no longer threatened. However, his actions were merely to discourage them and make them lose their temper.

Although the enemy may appear powerful when they are in a frenzy, this pointless madness only cloudes their judgment and makes them vulnerable to being manipulated by others. Maintaining a clear head at all times is the mark of a truly wise person.

Li Shan had a deep impression of this. He revered that person like a god. Knowing his own stupidity, he tried to get close to that person in everything he did. Over the years, he had made a name for himself by using these methods.

"You despicable scoundrel, prepare to die!" the long-bearded giant Li Danliu roared angrily, charging straight at Li Shan.

"Despicable? As long as the goal is achieved, the means don't matter!" Li Shan grinned. This was a trick he had learned years ago. He lifted the person in his hand in front of him, blocking the other party's path, forcing Li Danliu to stop in his tracks, and the knife in his hand became powerless.

A flash of light appeared, and a bloody gash appeared on Li Danliu's chest. Li Shan put the wounded man down, looked at the blood on the blade, and laughed, "Being dragged down by useless emotions often pushes things to a worse point. See, now none of the three of you can escape!"

Li Danliu clutched the knife wound in his chest. It wasn't fatal, but it severely hampered his fighting ability. Although his opponent was weaker than him, he wasn't far behind. Looking at his third brother, who had been carelessly tossed aside at the door and was barely breathing, Li Danliu took a deep breath, roared, and charged towards Li Shan.

"Have you lost your mind due to anger?" A hint of contempt flashed in Li Shan's eyes as he calmly retreated. Wrath could increase strength, but it also simplified thinking, making him easily shrewd. "Trying to risk your life to fight me?"

"Your brothers are lying in wait at the pharmacy entrance, so if you want to get in, you'll have to jump." Li Shan quickly retreated, reached into his pocket, pulled out a package, and threw it out at the opportune moment.

Just as Li Danliu had predicted, in order not to trample his brothers, he had no choice but to jump up. With no leverage in the air, he was helpless against the oncoming quicklime. Li Shan chuckled softly and retreated to the side. All he had to do next was seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow.

"Click!!"

The next moment, Li Shan's expression froze. As he stepped back, his right foot was caught in a black animal trap. His right leg was caught in the trap, leaving several bloody holes. The pain made him cry out in agony.

"What's going on? How could there be a trap here? There wasn't one before!" Li Shan was almost going crazy, not only because of the pain, but also because all his plans had come to naught. Hearing his screams, Li Danliu, even with quicklime blinding him, swung his knife at him. The trap on his leg made it impossible for him to dodge it quietly anymore.

"It's you!" Li Shan's gaze swept over Liu Feng, who was huddled in the corner. Although he didn't know where the animal trap came from, the only one in the entire pharmacy was that kid huddled in the corner.

As the long sword slashed down, Li Shan's blood splattered out. His memory jumped back to a few years ago, when he followed that young master. After they left, he remembered most of the young master's words and actions, but there was one thing he hadn't remembered: never underestimate a nobody. Every nobody has a purpose, because back then, he was a nobody who was being used by that young master.

"Big Brother!" Wang Erhu brandished his broadsword, forcing Li Shan's men back, and arrived at the entrance of the clinic, saying in a sorrowful voice, "Third Brother is dead!"

"Take Third Brother's body and retreat into the clinic!" Li Danliu said in a deep voice, his face covered in lime powder. He turned to look at the corner of the wall, where Liu Feng was vomiting violently. The blood from Li Shan's slash with Li Danliu's knife had not only splattered all over him, but some of it had also gotten into his mouth.

"Young man, could you please go and get some oil?" Li Danliu asked Liu Feng, squinting his eyes.

"I... okay!" Liu Feng was slightly taken aback. As soon as he opened his mouth, blood from his face flowed into his mouth, and he vomited again. He rushed into the backyard and rummaged around for a while before finally finding the kitchen and the cooking oil inside.

Turning around, he saw Wang Erhu guarding the entrance of the clinic, looking like a lone warrior holding the pass. Li Danliu took the vegetable oil, washed the quicklime off his face, then found the wound medicine in the clinic, applied it to himself, and pushed a cabinet towards the door.

Wang Erhu closed the door, propped the cabinet up, and then the two of them piled some more things on top, put some gold and silver into the medicine cabinet, picked up Lao San's body, called out to Liu Feng, and left through the side door of the clinic.

Liu Feng licked his lips and quickly followed. No matter what, he couldn't stay in this clinic any longer. Otherwise, if the servants rushed in, he would most likely be implicated. Following these two people might actually yield some benefits.

"No matter what, I saved them, didn't I?" Liu Feng followed behind the two men, panting heavily. One of them had a chest injury, and the other was carrying a corpse, but they were still moving at an alarming speed, and they hadn't stopped even after walking this far.

After wandering around for a while, the two arrived at the back gate of a courtyard. Seeing that there were no outsiders, they opened the gate and went inside. Liu Feng mustered his courage and stepped into the courtyard, only to find that there were two burly men inside.

The four men began to weep, holding the third brother's body. Liu Feng stood there, feeling incredibly awkward. Should he join in the weeping, or would it seem disrespectful?

After a long while, Li Danliu led Liu Feng aside and said, "Young brother, you saved my brother and me. What do you need? If it's within our power, just tell us."

"Um, this..." Liu Feng did want to hire these six people as his henchmen to cripple some experts so he could finish them off and collect the modules, but after thinking about it, he realized he couldn't bring himself to do it. So he thought for a moment and said, "It's just a small favor. I don't have any intention of asking for anything in return. Brother, give me whatever you want!"

Li Danliu scratched his head, and after a while returned to his room, handing a book to Liu Feng: "In that case, I'll give this to you, young man! I just hope you won't spread it around."

Liu Feng took the book, and a strong sense of a background character immediately struck him. On it were five characters: "Five Tigers Gate-Severing Blade!"
