Adoption brings disaster

Speaking of which, everyone knew that the twelve thieves from Longxi came prepared, and they had probably considered everything carefully, so a quick victory would not be effective.

But because I was here, they would risk their lives to send me back to the capital safely. Therefore, even though they knew that this quick victory was a conspiracy planned by the twelve thieves of Longxi, they had no choice but to go along with it.

Since they had decided to fight a quick battle, Wuxin and the others naturally put in 100% of their strength to fight.

In order to achieve success as quickly as possible, the three escort leaders also used the secret technique of self-mutilation. In a short period of time, their power increased by 50%. Now their strength is almost as high as that of Taoist Tianshu.

The strength of the group increased so much at once, and they were all fighting with a life-threatening style. How could these ten old men withstand it? Soon, these ten men were injured.

I looked at the Twelve Thieves of Longxi who were in danger and couldn't help but smile and said to the leader, "Young and strong are better than strong ones. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until the power of the Pure Yang Grass disappears."

"It seems that we old fellows have neglected the leader of the Wulin Alliance. This is truly our fault. I hope the leader will forgive us." The leader smiled and shouted sternly, "Form a formation."

After hearing this, the ten people who were fighting with Wuxin and the others immediately changed their positions and surrounded Wuxin and the others.

I saw that they forced Wuxin and the others to retreat with just three or two moves, and quickly formed a formation. They must have been hiding their strength.

I also smiled and asked, "You are so polite. You are holding back in this life-and-death fight. I don't know if you are brave and skilled, or if you simply look down on us."

"Master Alliance Leader, you are really wronging us. How could we possibly look down on someone like the first martial arts leader of Beishang Country, a master who was able to escape unscathed from the attack on Zhaixing Tower?"

The leader spoke respectfully, then sneered, "It's just that if we kill opponents like you directly, it would be much less fun. It's more interesting to let you think you have victory, and then turn the tables and kill you."

"I see." He said nonchalantly, as if it had nothing to do with me. "It should be about time now. We've lost."

Seeing that I had admitted defeat, the leader was also very proud of himself and said with a smile: "Master, why don't you give it another try? After all, if you do, my ten brothers will not be a match for you."

The Twelve Thieves of Longxi didn't take me seriously at all. Two of them also met with disaster. Not to mention that my strength is not as good as Wuxinwude, I really can't get any benefits if I face the leader, the King of Hell.

Besides, even if we can defeat them, we can't kill them in a short time, and it will be useless. Besides, I also want to know whether what Zhaixinglou said about escaping unscathed is true.

He didn't intend to intervene, but just watched quietly and talked with the leader, as if he was chatting with a good friend.

"Do you know what the owner of Zhaixing Tower said when I left Zhaixing Tower?" I changed to a more comfortable lying position, with no intention of helping at all.

"I'd like to hear the details." The leader also lay down next to me and very considerately removed the grass that was stuck to me, and said.

"The owner of Zhaixing Tower said that my journey back to Beijing was somewhat dangerous, but I was able to escape unscathed." I turned my head and looked at the leader with a bright smile. "They say that Zhaixing Tower is a fairyland, and they never say that anyone has missed it. I don't know if it's true."

"Hmph, if those charlatans in Zhaixing Tower weren't protected by the great formation, I would have rushed up the mountain and turned them into human-skin puppets long ago. Today, I will let the world know that these people are nothing but frauds."

The King of Hell said viciously behind us. After he finished speaking, I felt that my body could not move. It was obvious that he had used some secret technique.

But this secret technique is quite powerful. I have the protective Gu of the Gu King on me, but I was still affected by it. It shows that there are so many talented people in the world.

"Untie it." The leader ordered angrily.

"No, I didn't plan to move anyway. This position is comfortable and it's good not to move." I said nonchalantly.

"The leader is such a wonderful person. I will give him a quick death later." The leading man said with a smile.

After saying that, he stood up, looked at the Human King of Hell coldly, and stretched casually. The Human King of Hell was knocked away more than ten meters, and he struggled for a long time before getting up.

"What are you doing? You have been brothers for many years. It's not a good idea to use such harsh measures for such a small matter." I said with pretending to be kind, but in fact I was laughing at the joke of the King of Hell.

The leader and I were lying on the grass, chatting idly. If someone didn't know, they would have thought we were either grandfather and grandson or friends regardless of age.

After chatting for a while, the outcome of the battle was announced. With a few thuds, Wuxinwude and his men fell straight to the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.

I was a little confused and asked, "Why is this happening? Logically, it's just a decline in power, but how come he suddenly became so weak that even his aura seemed to have disappeared?"

"We didn't use any other means, it was just the Pure Yang Grass." The leader explained, "The genius doctor only knew one side of the Pure Yang Grass's effect, not the other. The effect of the Pure Yang Grass is that the more power you use, the more you return. You heroes have been busy since last night. I don't know how much power you have used with the Pure Yang Grass. Now that it's all returned, this is the natural result."

At this point I started to panic, but I pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's true that reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. I learned something today."

I was about to say more when an old woman came forward and said, "Brother, the people in Zhaixing Tower are very evil. We should marry them first to avoid any more trouble."

Anyone who can survive in the martial arts world is cautious. The leader naturally wouldn't go with the flow. He nodded and said with some regret, "You're an interesting little guy. If it weren't for Zhaixing Tower's assertion, I really want to keep you and torture you."

Before the leader could finish his words, the King of Hell couldn't wait to activate the poisonous insect to kill me.

The Human King of Hell said frantically, "Your skin is really good. It would be even better if you could make a human skin puppet. Let me use the poisonous insects to gnaw off your skin bit by bit. Don't worry, I'm very skilled and won't break your skin at all."

After the King of Hell said this, he laughed, and his laughter was exactly the same as the villain in the martial arts drama.

Seeing the King of Hell like this, the leader was also worried that he would delay and mess things up, so he shouted, "Hurry up, I'm always uneasy. Don't let anything go wrong. Letting this kid get away is one thing, but if the whole world knows about it, it will be a big loss of face."

"Don't worry, this kid has been infected with my poison. Even if the Jade Emperor comes, he will become a human skin puppet today." The King of Hell was very proud and said excitedly.

Another person also urged: "Hurry up, if you hadn't insisted on torturing that Thief Saint in the early years, we wouldn't have been seriously injured by that Zhenbei King, and we wouldn't have had to hide in the village to heal for so many years."

The King of Hell was extremely displeased when he heard this. He turned around and said to the man viciously, "The King of Zhenbei is dead. Who in this world can still be our opponent?"

The leader said, "The leader of the alliance should not die in disgrace. You should give him a quick death."

After hearing what the leaders said, the King of Hell had no choice but to give up his intention to torture me and drove the poisonous insect into my body to kill me.

Ahhhh, the moment the poisonous insect drilled into my body, I didn't scream, but instead I covered my head and howled in pain.

"Who are you, Gu King? How come there is this in your body? Ahhhh."

I was a little confused, and the images of Duoduo and Gu Wang flashed through my mind. I couldn't help but smile and said, "Gu Wang is my wife's grandmother. How should this relationship be discussed? I'd like to ask the Human King of Hell for advice."

Now no one cares about the relationship between the Gu King and me, because the Human King was attacked by the Gu worm and was eaten by the Gu worm in an instant until only his skin was left.

"I told you these bugs are inhumane. Look, this is what happens when you play with them," said an old woman behind the leader. "Let me escort you, leader. Don't worry, my sword is swift. It won't hurt you at all."

The old woman was different from the human King of Hell. She didn't hesitate at all. As soon as she finished speaking, the sword was already on my neck. Now that the human King of Hell was dead, I could move. The old woman didn't react for a while, and I barely dodged the old woman's sword.

Although I dodged the old woman's sword, I didn't have the strength to dodge the second sword. The old woman was extremely murderous, and this attack was all she had, which was completely different from her previous fight with Wuxin and the others. She used all her strength.

Seeing that I was about to die on the spot, I closed my eyes in fear, but the sword that was already on my neck could no longer move forward. I opened my eyes nervously and looked, and it turned out that an old man used a wooden sword to block the old woman's sword.

Seeing that she couldn't kill me, the old woman looked at the old man standing in front of me with resentment and retreated behind the leader.

"Those charlatans in Zhaixing Tower are quite capable, but with Bishui Wuyi having lost his Bishui Sword, I'm afraid they can't stop us brothers." The leader said calmly.

"You evildoers are still alive. Today I will enforce justice on the behalf of Heaven." The true Qi in the body of Li Daxia flowed, and the sword emitted bursts of light. When the light was at its brightest, Li Daxia rushed forward without hesitation.

Li Qinghan is indeed a well-known master. With this wooden sword, he forced the twelve thieves of Longxi to use their full strength.

These ten people are also good at martial arts. Although they have been healing their injuries over the years and their martial arts skills have not improved but deteriorated, they have also been fighting with Wuxin and the others for so long that they are now a little exhausted.

However, relying on superb formations and tacit cooperation, they were able to fight back and forth with Hero Li.

Li Qinghan was fighting with ten people, and the leader and I were sitting together chatting like a grandfather and grandson.

The leader asked, "Leader, how long do you think this Hero Li can hold out?"

This is quite interesting. On the battlefield, it was obvious that Li Qinghan was suppressing ten people, but the leader looked as if he was sure of victory.

I had some guesses in my mind, so I asked, "Did he use some secret technique?"

The leader chuckled when he saw me asking, "Of course, there's only one Green Water Sword in this world. I wonder what tricks Master Li used to give the wooden sword in his hand the power of a divine weapon. It's a pity that even if it has the power of a divine weapon, it's not a real divine weapon. It won't last long."

Although this leader is evil, he has extremely high strength and vision. When he said that, I'm afraid it's most likely true.

As expected, after I chatted with the leader for a few more words, Hero Li began to feel unable to hold on any longer. His movements became much slower, and the light of his sword dimmed. There was no way he could hold his own against ten people.

Hero Li knew that it was not a good idea to continue wasting time with them like this. He waved his wooden sword to force everyone away and came to my side. We said in unison, "Let's go."

The leader hasn't made a move yet, so Li Qinghan and I definitely can't get away.

I understood this principle and didn't want Li Qinghan to die in vain, so I said with a smile, "Zhaixinglou said I could escape unscathed. They can't do anything to me. Hero Li, please leave quickly."

Li Qinghan, who was most concerned about the well-being of the world, said, "A treasure like the Four Sacred Fruits should not be wasted here. Your Highness Qianqiu, please leave quickly. I can still hold these people back."

"If I let you go, people all over the world will say that I am not hospitable enough. You'd better stay." Ten people surrounded us. The leader stretched his muscles. It looked like he was going to settle the matter himself.

Seeing that I wasn't leaving, Li Qinghan became a little anxious and said, "A few years ago, Zhaixing Tower read my fate and I got four words: a worthy death. Your Highness, the support you've given the poor and needy over the years is worth ten lifetimes of mine. If I can help you escape unscathed, it will be considered a worthy death. I hope Your Highness will grant me this."

I was stunned for a moment. Could it be that the escape that Zhaixinglou mentioned should be carried out here? I looked at the old man who was already hunched over. If he really had to use his life in exchange for my escape, I couldn't do it.

But Hero Li didn't give me the chance and shouted, "With all my decades of skills, can you really stop me?"

Hero Li gathered all his internal strength into the sword, and then swung the wooden sword in his hand casually like a child. The twelve thieves from Longxi could have easily dodged the sword energy, but they didn't dodge it at all and had to take it head-on.

"Your Highness Qianqiu, I think I died a worthy death." The old man said with his last bit of strength, and then his power disappeared and he died.

I wiped the glasses off Hero Li and looked at the three people standing opposite me, feeling extremely angry.

Although I might not be able to defeat the three seriously injured people, I would still kill them even if I exchanged my life for theirs, so I chuckled and said, "Are you ready to die?"

"Big brother, something bad has happened. Someone is coming."

These bandits are the best at running away. Today they have lost nine people and were seriously injured. They no longer have the strength to fight. Without hesitation, they jumped into the water and escaped.

To find out who is coming, please wait for the next episode.
