Chapter 123
Li Qingshan lifted his foot and kicked the headless corpse downstairs.
The men and women downstairs were still confused upon hearing the madam’s scream when the a bloody headless corpse suddenly fell in front of them. After a moment of silence, someone amongst the crowd screamed: "Murder!”
Downstairs, it was like an explosion took place. Li Qing Shan laughed, as he glanced aside, he caught a glimpse of Qing Xiu’s clothes as she was brought to the opposite fourth floor.
Li Qingshan plunged from the sky, akin to a tiger preying on its food or an eagle catching a rabbit, as he leapt across to the next patio.
Qing Xiu was filled with despair, when the wind suddenly blew into her. She then looked in front, seeing Qing Shan who returned his blade to his sheathe. The bodyguards holding onto Qing Xiu spat out blood fervently, before falling backwards.
"You ... ..." Qing Xiu was speechless for a while. Daring to kill in the pavillion, Qing Shan was a bold and overblown figure she had never expected to see in her lifetime. This was totally different from her idea of him at the start.
Li Qing Shan said: "What injustice have you suffered. Feel free to give me all your complaints now!"
Amidst the chaos in the building, the bodyguards surrounded the area in all directions.
Qing XIu show hurriedly said: "I ... ... I was caught by them, and not voluntarily. If I did not want to, then I would be beaten and not given food to eat! I also have to practice their strange skills, and if I do not practice then I will also be beaten, and not allowed to eat "
"Bitch, shut up!" The madam roared as she directly hit the floor of the fourth floor. However, all she could see was Li Qing Shan’s murderous eyes.
"You came at the right time!" Li Qing Shan exclaimed loudly, as his knife released a wind blade towards her face.
The madam had never seen such a ferocious person. With only a few words to say, he gave the killing blow immediately. She often played the role of the usher and had long forgotten when she last directly took part in combat. In the midst of her shock, she could not even exert half of her strength and fell back to the 3rd floor while screaming.
Looking up, she saw Li Qingshan at the top of the hole. Both hands holding his knife and plunging straight down. She did not even manage to take out her treasure pouch to retrieve her talisman. Maybe she was scared stuff, but she instinctively rolled across the floor like a ball.
A good combatant, a poor combatant. One who relied on his strong tough body to directly conquer a 2nd level Qi Practitioner. Yet the other spent her time and effort on dual cultivation, the art of bedding. Even though she was a 3rd level Qi Practitioner, she only had a 2nd level Qi Practitioner level of strength.
There was a burst of blood. His knife cut a large piece of meat from her ass and the madam screamed a pig-like scream, no longer having the heart to retaliate.
Li Qing Shan, stepped off a wall, stomping on the back of the madam. He revealed a cruel smile: "You old hag, let’s see where you escape off to this time!"
When the madam tried to struggle, she felt like an iron pile was pressing down and that her bones were breaking. A sharp blade then flashed in front of her face so that she does not dare to move.
A sword stabbed from behind. While the blade has not yet reached, it spat out a three feet long green light. Fu Rong viciously gripped her sword as she pierced Li Qing Shan from behind.
"Great!" Li Qing Shan was not shock in the least. He shifted his body so that the blade would slide pass him. Even the 3rd level Qi Practitioner madam lost, not to mention this 2nd level Qi Practitioner Fu Rong. With a flick of his wrist, he grabbed Fu Rong’s neck in an instance and pulled her before him.
Stepping on an enemy with his foot while grabbing another in his hands, it was truly a “one stone kills two bird” scenario.
Li Qingshan pointed his knife at the madam: "You as a Qi Practitioner are above tens of thousands of others, with a secure way of life, yet you still want to commit such a heavenly sin. You truly deserve death.”
The madam exclaimed loudly: "Hero, please spare my life!"
"You? I cannot forgive!" Li Qing Shan then stabbed down with his knife.
"Stop!" Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Cui Jian, the other was not Diao Fei, but rather a middle-aged man dressed in a sapphire blue gown. A non-existent figure appeared on the third floor, a 5th level Qi Practitioner, born with a feminine face, coldly stating: "This guest seems to be very unsatisfied with our service.”
He was the real owner of the Pavillion, Zhao Liang Qing. He usually only let the old woman outside greet guests, hiding behind the scenes, and using the women in the pavilion as Qi furnaces.
Zhuo Zhi Bo’s plan to take down the new kid, of course, was brought up to Liang Qing so as to set up the trap in the pavilion. Liang Qing did not mind as he foresaw Zhi Bo as an eagle swooping down on his prey, clearly with no good end for Qing Shan. However, he could never have predicted that Fu Rong would not only be taken away, but also cause such a disturbance to the surroundings.
Li Qing Shan estimated that with his demon form, he could completely defeat 2nd Level Qi Practitioners and win 3rd Level Qi Practitioners with great probability. 4th Level Qi Practitioners would be tough but 5th Level Qi Practitioners would be impossible.
He shouted: "Ge Jian, please invite brother Zhuo, I found a forced prostitutes nest! As a dignified Eagle Wolves Guard, why would I fear these bastards!" His cry, full of True Qi, shattered a few glasses and caused many people's ears to buzz.
Brother Zhuo! Ge Jian almost lost his footing. He personally saw Li Qing Shan’s arrogance when facing Zhuo Zhi Bo. But now he insisted on calling him brother Zhuo, clearly pulling Zhua Zhi Bo and the Eagle Wolf Guard to becoming his shield.
Zhao Liang Qing also frowned. Although Li Qing Shan demonstrated extraordinary strength for a Qi Practitioner, he was confident of killing him, but he did not dare to.
Not only because of the two hostages in the hands of Li Qing Shan, but also because of the identity of the Eagle Wolf Guard. The Eagle Wolf Guard is not immortal, on the contrary, because of the various dangerous tasks, the casualty rate is not low. If a guard died in his task or assassination, and the murderer could not be identified then it would be left as an unresolved investigation.
However, if a Eagle Wolf Guard was to be killed in a crowd, that is to challenge the authority of the Eagle Wolf Guard and would be wanted by the heavens. Even Zhuo Zhi Bo could not let him go but instead have to kill him and clear off any and all relations to him. If he was a lone cultivator, perhaps there he would have the guts to kill him, but he has such a large enterprise under him, which made him even more afraid of doing so.
Li Qing Shan smiled, as expected, this layer of wolf skin plays quite a big role. Being a dog of the law and order and not being able to use that identity would be plain foolish. Since Zhuo Zhi Bo wanted to be his big brother, then let him be.
Zhao Liang Qing said: "Please release my people!"
"They all forced girls into prostitution. Criminals that harm innocent young girls, must not be released. Also, I need you to stay put as well. As a representative of the Eagle Wolf Guard, I need to investigate the case. You can remain silent, but everything and anything you say may be held against you." Li Qing Shan did not know what to say, so he used the common line from his previous life, totally ignoring the fact that Zhao Liang Qing was a 5th Level Qi Practitioner.
Zhao Liang Qing face blushed: "Forced prostitution? Where is your evidence?"
Li Qing Shan replied: "I have a witness!"
Zhao Liang Qing coldly questioned: "Then where is that proof?"
Li Qing Sha’s pupils constricted, as he saw the two bodyguards holding onto a dejected Qing Xiu.
Zhao Liang Qing held onto her chin, "Not bad, she does look quite pretty. No wonder she attracted such a lovely busybody. I guess you can release my women now!"
Qing Xiu eyes teared as she stared at Li Qing Shan. Now I am really doomed!
Li Qing Shan replied: "That is the girl in your pavilion, what relationship does she have with me!"
Zhao Liang Qing said: "Oh, is that so? Then I guess this root of troubles should be removed!" Liang Qing’s hand was placed on her shoulders, and while he was about to slowly exert force, Qing Xiu let out a scream.
However that was immediately overshadowed by a more mournful screams, scaring Qing Xiu till her mouth shut. Li Qing Shan cut down on the madam’s arm, threatening Liang Qing with reddish eyes: "You dare to try harming her? "
Only stupid heroes would surrender when the enemies used hostages as threats. Qing Shan would do no such thing, if you were harsh then he would only be harsher.
Ge Jian finally gave up on trying to deal with this matter on his own. Qing Shan was ferocious as if he was born out of the wild, repaying an eye for an eye. This all happened today because of his retaliation towards Zhuo Zhi Bo’s trap. And all that had transpired from there was clearly not in his control. He crushed a spiritual talisman, which was an Eagle Wolf Guard aid request talisman to relay that there was an urgent crisis ongoing.
Zhao Liangqing looked at Li Qingshan, but he did not start, but did not dare to act. He clearly saw that from the eyes of Li Qing Shan, if he dared to kill Qing Xie, Li Qing Shan would decapitate his two trusted subordinates. That was a loss that could not be tolerated. On one hand was one of his many prostitutes and the other was his two important subordinates. Whichever was of higher priority, he could clearly distinguish.
His eyes flashed, practising his cultivation technique, in the eyes of the public, the somewhat feminine Zhao Liang Qing suddenly changed, becoming as fearsome as a legendary devil. A fierce atmosphere pressured itself on the hearts of the people, as a few bodyguards fell down weakly.
Almost roaring: "As I ordered, release them!" In the pavilion, other than charming others, their technique could also take on the other end of the spectrum. They could simulate demonic figures and intimidate people by directly influencing the human mind. The moment Liang Qing cast it out the whole Pavillion quietened down. Everyone felt a terrifying existence emerge, and did not dare to even breathe out loud, let alone shout and run. Even Ge Jian Zhao did not dare to look at Liang Qing’s face. As the one being stared at directly, how would Qing Shan bear the pressure?
But Li Qing Shan only smiled and said: "I order you to let her go!" He was originally a demon, with a cultivation greater than that of Zhao Liang Qing. The charm was effective against him, because his body was filled with great vitality and stronger than the average man. He could only run the Spiritual Turtle Dominates The Seas Scripture to suppress the charm. However, intimidating him was another matter altogether. Liang Qing was merely showing off to a true master. Even without using the scripture, he would not be scared. Believe it or not, how about I show you my true form to really scare you!
Zhao Liang Qing saw that his threat was useless and could only give up, staring at Qing Shan. If stares could take the form of swords, Qing Shan would be pierced already.
"What are you looking at? Look some more and see what I do to your eyes, no, watch how I pluck her eyes out." Li Qing Shan’s knife gestured at the foot of the madam.
"What do you want?"
Li Qing Shan pointed at Qing Xiu: "Give me back my witness!"
"Forget about it!" Zhao Liang Qing’s voice barely made it out of his mouth before Li Qing Shan began cutting onto the madam’s other arm. “Anyways I have two. After killing one I still have another to play with!”
