In the suburbs of the capital city.
On a small path beside a small hill, flames were soaring into the sky, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.
“My leg! What happened?!”
“Oh no! Help!”
“Ah!!!”
…
The entire path was extremely noisy. There were those who were shouting for help, those who were shouting for escape, and those who were wailing incessantly…
Two-thirds of the originally large group of several hundred people had already fallen to the ground, dead or injured.
The remaining one-third had also been dazed by the explosion. Their minds were unsettled, and they ran around like headless flies.
Fatty, who had run far away, turned his head to look behind him and sucked in a breath of cold air.
Previously, in a small shop, Fu Hu had once said that he had a way to deal with most people. At that time, Fatty had thought that it was poison and knock out gas.
However, he had never expected that Fu Hu’s methods would be so ruthless…
“Hehe! Not bad, right? I spent a lot of money to get these detonating talismans.”
Fu Hu’s face revealed a proud smile as he looked at the “Profits” brought about by spending a large sum of money.
However, as for when and for what purpose he had specially placed the talismans here, he did not talk about it. He did not even mention it.
Fatty had even asked a few times, but Fu Hu had always dismissed the topic and did not reply.
Fatty saw that he could not get an answer, so he could only give up. There was no disappointment on his face. Instead, there was a smile on his face, “Heh! This time, we have eliminated more than half of the people in the City Lord’s estate. The estate is really empty now!”
The City Lord’s estate did not have enough people, so their strength was empty. That would be extremely beneficial to Lin Bai’s plan.
Right at this moment, a furious roar sounded.
“All of you!!! Surrender your lives!!!”
Zhang Lie’s pair of black bear-like barbaric eyes were now covered in blood capillaries. His majestic body rushed over like a mountain.
His cultivation was profound, and in addition, he was a martial cultivator. His body was tough, so exploding talismans like this wouldn’t cause any substantial damage to him.
However, the people he brought out from the City Lord’s estate were killed and injured in large numbers. This was caused by the two people who had originally been sentenced to death.
If they went back, it was self-evident how the City Lord would react!
“You! I knew you guys were sinister and cunning, but I didn’t expect you to be so shameless! You’ve wasted the City Lord’s high hopes and nurturing of you!”
Jin Cheng’s face was gloomy, and his sunken eyes were filled with a terrifying bloody light.
“What a sinister and cunning person, what a high hopes and nurturing person!” Fatty sneered, “So the reason you sent us out to silence us was because of high hopes and nurturing!”
“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Zhang Lie had already arrived not far away from the two of them. “If it weren’t for the City Lord, you would not have such achievements! You’re so heartless and unscrupulous!”
Zhang Lie swung out a punch. This punch distorted the air and carried a violent force. Sand and stones flew and dust flew!
“Let me do it!”
Fatty had been prepared to receive Zhang Lie’s punch head-on. Ever since he had relied on the City Lord to break through his cultivation, he had not had a real grasp of his current strength.
However, he had not expected that Fu Hu’s figure would flash as he charged forward. His body leaned to the side as he pulled out a kick. The speed of this kick was too fast and violent, leaving behind only afterimages as he kicked towards Fu Hu’s elbow.
The kick towards the elbow could be considered as a diversion. Even for martial cultivators of their level, these basic moves were still useful.
“Arrogant!!!”
Zhang Lie’s face was filled with disdain when he saw that Fu Hu was going to face him head-on. The circulation of his cultivation technique increased the strength of his arm.
Bang!!!
The air currents surged!!
The ground beneath Fu Hu and Zhang Lie’s feet had sunk deep into the ground. Their calves had already sunk in.
“You?!”
Zhang Lie’s scarlet eyes were filled with doubt.
He had never expected that Fu Hu would be able to receive his head-on attack.
“You what?”
Different from Zhang Lie’s anger and panic, Fu Hu’s face was no longer simple and honest. Instead, it was a provocative smile.
After saying that, Fu Hu’s body twisted like a nimble snake and came to Zhang Lie’s right side. He swung his elbow and was about to hit Zhang Lie’s temple.
Zhang Lie was shocked when he saw Fu Hu’s decisiveness and ferocity. He quickly stretched out a hand to block.
However, just as Fu Hu’s elbow was about to hit Zhang Lie’s arm, Zhang Lie’s eyes lit up and he cried out:
“Not good, this is a feint!!!”
Zhang Lie noticed that Fu Hu’s elbow was in mid-air and had lost its strength. He even withdrew his center of gravity and kicked the back of Zhang Lie’s head.
However, Zhang Lie was still one step too late!
“Go to hell! I’ve long disliked you!”
With a muffled sound, Fu Hu’s foot kicked the back of Zhang Lie’s head. Zhang Lie had yet to defend himself!
Zhang Lie’s entire body flew forward and crashed heavily onto the ground, not moving at all.
Seeing Zhang Lie fall to the ground, the few people from the City Lord’s mansion who had originally picked up their weapons and intended to charge out to assist him fell into a daze. After regaining their senses, they threw away their armors and ran away, not daring to even turn their heads back.
“Still not running? I’m feeling magnanimous today. I’ll give you one more chance!”
The Fatty retracted his astonished gaze and looked at Jin Cheng with a smug look on his face.
Jin Cheng looked at Zhang Lie, who was lying on the ground, and then at the Fatty in front of him. A smile appeared on his face:
“Do you really think you can defeat us so easily? You’re looking down on us too much!”
As Jin Cheng spoke, he looked in Zhang Lie’s direction and cursed, “You mother*cker! How long do you plan on lying there? If we don’t catch them and bring them back, the City Lord will definitely punish us severely!”
Seeing Jin Cheng’s words, Fu Hu laughed. “Beastmasters are beastmasters. You don’t even know the basics of combat. The place where I hit just then was…”
However, Fu Hu’s smile didn’t last long. Zhang Lie, who had been motionless on the ground, slowly stood up.
Crack!!
Zhang Lie stood up and stretched his neck and shoulders. Crisp sounds rang out in the air.
“That’s right!”
Zhang Lie stood up. His words were concise, but it sounded like thunder beside Fu Hu’s ears.
Fu Hu looked at Zhang Lie in disbelief. He could not understand. He had clearly kicked the back of his head. No matter how profound his cultivation was, he could not bear it.
“Still not running? I’ll give you another chance!” Jin Cheng looked at Fatty and imitated Fatty’s tone.
Fatty’s eyelids twitched as he listened. His face was filled with anger, but he could only listen. He could not return the favor. He felt aggrieved!
“Looks like it’s better to resolve this as soon as possible!”
The moment Zhang Lie finished speaking, blood qi surged into the sky around him. His body was surrounded by a scarlet red, like a bloody mist.
The bloody light soared into the sky, giving off an imposing aura!
Fatty looked at Zhang Lie and had the intention to retreat a few times.
This reversal was too fast. He had thought that victory was certain, but he did not expect Zhang Lie to have such means!
However, he could not escape now. He could only fight to the death here!
“Come on!!!”
