Immortality begins with meditation puppets

Chapter 199 Help! Murder!

"Help, it's murder!"

Li Hailang and his two companions never expected that their first mission alongside Boss Su would be so thrilling and dangerous.

They were quite careful just now.

Baiyitong and Baiyisong's Li Hailang had just cast a concealment formation on the three brothers.

The 17th brother, however, listened carefully to the rumors and noticed nothing unusual.

Brother 260 remained as steady as Mount Tai, showing no urge to flee.

The three were full of confidence and determined to live up to their wages. They were determined to understand the situation clearly so that Boss Su could deploy his troops and use the puppets to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Even on the way there, the three of them had a heart-to-heart talk about the current employment environment in Baiyun Immortal City, their own strengths, and career plans.

“Boss, we’ve been cultivating diligently for decades, and we’ve gone astray. Now, following Boss Su, although the treatment seems good and we eat beast meat and spiritual vegetables, we’ve only just transitioned into bodyguards. Aren’t we less competitive than the professional guards at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion?”

The 17th brother is an honest kid, but now he feels guilty for having landed a high-paying job despite not having much skill. He wants to resign and start over as a thief, so that Boss Su won't find out that he's a scoundrel.

He also wanted to find a few warrior guards from the Hundred Treasures Pavilion to further his studies, so that he could shine in his new position and improve his abilities as soon as possible, in order to live up to Boss Su's high regard.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Hailang couldn't help but jump up and slam his head hard.

"You idiot, you pig-brain!"

"Boss Su wants bodyguards? Those tigers, leopards, and lizards of his are so ferocious! Does he really need the three of us to protect him? He just wants us to be his errand runners!"

"In the last great battle, the Tribulation Cultivator and the Demon Cultivator wreaked havoc inside the Immortal City. The Cloud Mountain Sect and many fellow cultivators who were victimized couldn't do anything to the Demon Cultivator, so why couldn't they deal with the Tribulation Cultivator?"

“Now, everyone in the Immortal City hates those who commit calamity, and the Yunshan Sect will not let us off the hook even if we kill the wrong person. Under such circumstances, this profession is not easy to do!”
On the other hand, this Boss Su is doing incredibly well now, with a rock-solid network of connections. If we three brothers follow him, at least we'll have something to eat!

"That's true. Following Boss Su, I feel much more at ease. I no longer have the guilt of betraying my teammates at any time," 260 added, then quickly added, fearing his former boss might be displeased.
"Boss Li is truly flexible and adaptable. Brother 17 and I are used to being his underlings. It's a shame that we've wronged Boss Li, but it doesn't matter. Things change, and with Boss Li's domineering presence, he'll surely rise again!"

Li Hailang nodded upon hearing this:

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business. Look at the puppet army that Boss Su brought today. We've never fought such a profitable battle before. If we do well today, even that one-thousandth of the commission might not be less than what my Langtian Gang earned at its peak!"

After he finished speaking, Brother 17 and Brother 260 thought about the puppet team behind them that was powerful enough to repeatedly rub against the peak of the Langtian Gang, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

You little devils, your grandpas are here!

Just as the three middle-aged men who had found new jobs were standing tall and straight, they went to search for the traces of the monster.

Suddenly, Brother 260 clenched his thighs, shielding his two older brothers in front of him, facing the direction of Boss Li, while his legs rapidly retreated towards Boss Su.

The 17th brother, listening to the wind and discerning the smell, just sensed a strong, fishy, ​​demonic stench approaching and was about to warn them.

Turning around, I found that Brother 260 was already more than a hundred feet away!

This sent chills down his spine, and he grabbed Li Hailang and ran straight back.

Just as the two made a move, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to tremble rhythmically.

Suddenly, seventy or eighty small, long-snouted, black-backed demonic beasts appeared, staring fiercely at the three of them.

This is a pangolin weasel. Don't be fooled by its small size; they are vengeful, ferocious, and ruthless. They are also adept at burrowing and digging holes, so there are few places that can trap them. If you provoke them, they will follow you even if you hide inside the White Cloud Immortal City.

If it were just these small things, Li Hailang wouldn't be too afraid.

But considering how determined Brother 260 was to sell, it must be more than just these small items.

Sensing an ominous sign, Li Hailang did not entangle himself with these small creatures.

With a roar, over a hundred lush green vines surged from his body, binding all the small creatures. This was a unique combat technique he had created by combining the characteristics of his own refinement furnace with the skills of a spirit binder, often proving remarkably effective against large groups of enemies.

While the little creatures were entangled by its tentacles, Li Hailang and his 17th brother decisively retreated.

In that split second, a barrage of arrows rained down from where the three of them had been.

Looking up, I saw dozens of cloud rocs emerging from the clouds.

This demonic beast is a lower-ranking demonic beast of the Golden Roc clan, and it also possesses the ability to transform its own feathers into arrows and shoot them out.

However, unlike the Golden Roc, it doesn't have the ability to shoot whenever it wants. Each time it shoots out a feather, it needs to use the cover of the clouds and charge up its strength for a long time before it can shoot.

If it weren't for Brother 260 selling in time and them retreating decisively, they definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand that volley of arrows.

And this is just the beginning.

When Li Hailang saw the surging demonic aura ahead, with dust and sand rising, and countless demon grandfathers chasing after them, he was shocked.

He could only grab one of his brothers with each hand and flee towards Su Qing's direction.

Su Qing frowned and glanced at the monster pursuers behind the three of them. With a casual wave of his hand, the Explosive Hammer War Bear and the Heavy Cavalry Lizards lined up and went to provide support.

Riding heavy lizards, clad in battle armor and wielding spears, they charged forward on horseback. When they galloped, the combined strength of thirty of them was such that no non-second-tier demonic beast could withstand them.

The six Explosive Hammer War Bears swung their warhammers with incredible speed. As soon as they entered the horde of monsters, they chopped them down like vegetables, slaughtering these monsters, who were at most mid-tier first-order monsters, until they cried out in agony.

In the blink of an eye, the demon beasts, who had just completed their transformation from demon cubs to demon grandfathers, were once again seen as demon cubs in the eyes of Li Hailang and his two brothers.

A puppet emboldens a coward.

The three turned their heads and gave the pangolin weasels, who had been chasing them most enthusiastically, a vicious grin.

Su Qing need not worry about the battle situation on the ground.

The puppet team he brought today was configured according to the combat strength required to defeat the second-tier demon king and his subordinate demon beasts.

These are just some first-tier demonic beasts; even a first-tier ultimate demonic king has never seen one. The Explosive Hammer War Bear and the Heavy Cavalry Lizard can easily take care of them.

To his slight disappointment, the aerial battle was somewhat unsuccessful.

All that could be seen was a hundred feet above the ground.

The clouds covered the sky and blocked out the sun, but it was actually more than a hundred cloud rocs that were beckoning to the cloud peaks. Under the cover of the clouds, every ten or twenty cloud rocs would fire a feather arrow, and then the next batch of cloud rocs would follow.

The relentless barrage of arrows in waves kept the heavy cavalry lizards and blaster warbears below extremely annoyed.

Su Qing naturally mobilized the Sky Roc ship to fight against it.

With fighter jets escorting reconnaissance aircraft, the aircraft rapidly ascended, attempting to drop explosive debris to blast the cloud-hiding roc through the clouds.

Unexpectedly, dozens of wind sword falcons suddenly flew out from the clouds.

The genuine Wind Sword Falcon was even faster than the Destroyer Golem equipped with the Gale Cannon. It folded its wings into swords and slashed horizontally and vertically, instantly destroying several Destroyer Golems.

Despite the bombardment by the dummy drones, their speed made them difficult to aim, and they only managed to shoot down two or three Wind Falcons.

After that, during the downtime when the Gale Cannon was charging up, the entire reconnaissance and fighter squadrons became toys for the Wind Sword Falcon and Cloud Roc.

Although he sent out dozens of explosive killing puppets to explode in the clouds, causing considerable casualties, it was a pity that he killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred of his own.

This result is somewhat disappointing.
