Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Old Cheng!"

Upon seeing Cheng Ziming being tortured, Hu Chun immediately rushed over to provide support, carrying his Po Feng knife.

It has to be said that Hu Chun is quite capable; he really stepped up when his brother was in trouble.

"If one isn't enough, two will be useful?"

But in response to this ridiculous behavior, Assistant Li said, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, I'll admit defeat if you're not afraid!"

Hu Chun's Splashing Wind Blade, which was said to be impenetrable to water when wielded, was as fragile as paper in front of Li Zhu's golden sword.

No matter how powerful and heavy your wind-blown blades are, my golden sword can always find an opening and strike once and then retreat!

Before long, Hu Chun's clothes were also tattered, so he had to jump out of the circle and come to Cheng Ziming's side.

The two men, both in dire straits, exchanged a glance and saw fear in each other's eyes.

"Are you coming or not?"

Li Zhu held his longsword horizontally in front of him, his face calm and composed.

Could he kill them?

absolutely okay.

But there's no need, because his task now is simply to buy time.

Moreover, he wasn't particularly keen on this task in the first place; he was just thinking of slacking off and getting by.

I never expected that I would have to take action myself in the end!

The Ming Cult is really not very good!

Killing a few insignificant servants is fine, but these two leaders don't look like ordinary servants. Killing them too would only create unnecessary trouble for our forces.

Besides, the Ming Cult is the main force in this mission. If anyone is to be killed, it should be someone from the Ming Cult. What does it have to do with Li Zhu?

"It's a tricky idea."

Hu Chun spoke to Cheng Ziming in a low voice.

"Well, brother, it seems like he's holding back a bit. How about we just go along with it?"

Cheng Ziming's clothes had been reduced to strips of cloth, especially around his chest, which were tattered beyond recognition. If Li Zhu had intended to kill him, Cheng Ziming would have been dead long ago.

"We have to get some information out of them, otherwise we won't be able to explain it when we get back."

The two thought they were talking quietly, but Li Zhu heard them both.

"What do you two say? Let's try again, or do we have to go back?"

Li Zhu asked.

"Taoist Master, you are indeed very powerful. We brothers are no match for you. But we advise you not to make a move on my young lady, because you don't know who you've messed with!"

Although we've decided to withdraw, we can't afford to lose face!

"They're just two old dogs, Tong Guan and Cai Jing. What's the big deal?"

Li Zhu snorted coldly, then his eyes darted around, and he said to the two of them:

"Listen up, you two. I am the Iron Sword Daoist, one of the Ming Cult's Guardian Kings. This time, in addition to me, the Ming Cult has also sent Fang Fei, the Light-Winged Bat King, another of its Guardian Kings."

"Go back and tell Cai Jing and Tong Guan that our Ming Cult is not afraid of them!"

Anyone can shift blame!

Since Fang Fei just asked me to stay behind as a backup, then don't blame me for leaving behind the name of their Ming Cult.

Whether the Ming Cult had Iron Sword Taoist or not was none of Li Zhu's business.

The mistake you, Iron Sword Taoist, made has nothing to do with me, Golden Sword Master!

"Iron Sword Taoist, Ming Cult Protector King, very good, we've got it!"

Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming wrote down Li Zhu's name.

"Laughing heartily, I went out the door!"

But to their surprise, Li Zhu suddenly drew his sword again and flashed behind them!

All that could be heard behind them were screams of agony. Li Zhu, like a tiger among sheep, slaughtered all the remaining servants behind Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming!

"Taoist Master, what are you doing?!"

Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming were horrified. Was this an attempt to kill them to silence them?

"I'll make sure you two remember me."

Assistant Li smiled and then said to the two of them:

"How about this, the two of you attack each other, and the one who survives can go back."

Li Zhu's words made Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming's hearts skip a beat!

That Taoist priest is too treacherous!

"Master, please don't joke."

"That's right, that's right! Although you are powerful, Daoist Master, we are not helpless either!"

Although the two had a good relationship, Li Zhu's words made them slightly more distant from each other.

"Hmm...that makes sense. You two are indeed a bit harder to kill."

Li Zhu nodded, then remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

"Rest assured, Master, we have witnessed the martial arts of the Ming Cult. When we return, we will certainly not tell anyone of your great name..."

Seeing this, Hu Chun assumed that Li Zhu was still worried that the two of them might not keep their mouths shut, and immediately tried to speak, but was interrupted by Li Zhu:

"No, when we get back, you must spread the word for me, understand?"

"what?"

Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming were dumbfounded. Had they heard correctly? Someone was actually asking to publicize this matter more?

"Master, don't be sarcastic. My brothers and I will definitely not tell anyone about you."

The two of them shook their heads like rattles.

“I’m not being sarcastic. Listen carefully, Fang La. This guy has no ability, yet he’s the leader of a cult.”

"I possess exceptional martial arts skills, yet I can only serve as a Dharma Protector, which I find very discontented with."

"I want everyone to know that the Iron Sword Taoist of the Ming Cult is the one with the highest martial arts skills and the highest prestige in the entire Ming Cult! Do you understand?"

"Oh, and we can't forget Fang Fei, the Light-Winged Bat King. He's a good friend of mine, and he's just as unconvinced by Fang La!"

Li Zhu started talking nonsense, but to be honest, under these circumstances, Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming had no way to judge whether it was true or false. In addition, the way Li Zhu was gritting his teeth when he spoke didn't seem fake, so they also felt that it seemed to make a lot of sense!

"Understood, Taoist Master. We will definitely tell the master about the fame and prestige you desire, but please do not harm the young lady."

"Don't worry, your young lady has caught Fang La's eye. I might have to call her the leader's wife in the future."

Li Zhu continued to ramble on, but somehow it made a lot of sense.

So it turns out Fang La had taken a fancy to the young lady! No wonder these people kidnapped her and ran away!

Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming exchanged a glance, both of them now completely convinced of this claim.

"Remember?"

Li Zhu asked seriously.

"Master, we've got it, we've got it."

Hu Chun and Cheng Ziming nodded vigorously.

"Okay, see you later!"

Having achieved his goal and bought enough time, Li Zhu stopped lingering and leaped onto a nearby tree. After a few bounds, his figure disappeared into the shade.

“Brother Cheng, this time, the two of us must go back together to report.”

After confirming that Li Zhu had left, Hu Chun immediately spoke to Cheng Ziming.

"Yes, yes, Brother Hu, let's hurry back! I never expected Fang La's Ming Cult to be so audacious! This Iron Sword Taoist, how come I've never heard of him before?"

Cheng Ziming scratched his head. He wasn't completely ignorant about the Ming Cult, but he had never heard of this Dharma Protector King.

"He might be the hidden force of the Ming Cult. This guy's martial arts are so high; he must be the Ming Cult's trump card. It's just a pity that Fang La is a lecherous man, and he actually sent him to do the job of robbing young ladies. It's obvious that he's very dissatisfied with Fang La. If possible, this guy might be the core of dismantling the Ming Cult!"

After thinking for a moment, Hu Chun gave a reasonable explanation.

"Let's go back quickly! Tell the adults about this right away!"

……

"Ahei! Ahei! Ahei!"

At this time, Fang La, far away in Jiangnan, suddenly started sneezing repeatedly for some unknown reason!

"Master, have you caught a chill?"

"I...I don't know, achoo! Oh right, where's Fang Fei? Achoo! Send him a message, finish the business, achoo! Horse, come back right away! Achoo!"
