Chapter 215 You're a tough kid, I have no complaints.
"So competitive—"
Li Wudao and the green-haired turtle's pupils trembled slightly, their faces showing surprise.
They used many of their trump cards and suffered a lot before they could barely hold their own against Cheng Yuanliang.
But Luo Hou only used one move to make him cough up blood and fly away, where he collapsed to the ground like a limp rag doll, struggling even to lift his hand.
The before-and-after comparison is truly astonishing.
Is this the strength of the top assassins in the Eastern Wilderness...? Truly terrifying!
Li Wudao couldn't help but sigh.
The next instant, when he saw Luo Hou raise his hand, he immediately realized something and hurriedly said, "Wait, spare his life..."
However, before he could finish speaking, a cold glint flashed from Luo Hou's fingertips.
"puff--"
Just as Cheng Yuanliang stood up, a huge, gaping hole suddenly appeared in his neck.
"No....."
He looked at the man and the tortoise with resentment, let out a sob, and collapsed limply to the ground, dying instantly.
Luo Hou stopped and stood up, bowing slightly. "Young Master, I'm sorry... I couldn't stop in time."
His tone remained cold, but his posture carried just the right amount of respect.
The silvery, menacing mask gleamed coldly in the eerie light, adding to its mystery and aloofness.
"Fine, let's just kill him then."
Li Wudao shrugged helplessly. "This bald guy hates me to the bone, I doubt I'll get anything out of him."
"The Dharma Protector... is dead?!"
The remaining men in black robes turned ashen-faced and filled with fear and unease upon seeing this.
"Run away!"
Someone shouted, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, frantically fleeing towards the exit of the underground palace.
"Don't let them get away, I still have questions to ask."
Li Wudao frowned.
"Yes--"
Rahu responded immediately, and in a flash, he appeared above the exit of the underground palace.
Without him making any move, a cold and terrifying pressure had already spread out.
Those fleeing demons, even those at the late stage of the Martial King realm, were now as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to move.
Several of those with weaker cultivation levels collapsed to the ground, trembling in fear.
Li Wudao walked to Cheng Yuanliang's body and bent down to feel around.
Soon, he found a storage ring that was entirely black.
When he tried to examine it with his divine sense, he was blocked by a cold and sinister restriction that he could not break through in a short time.
"Multiple restrictions...that's interesting..."
Li Wudao was slightly surprised, but calmly put away the storage ring.
He suspected that there might be some unexpected gains involved.
Even without that, the Soul-Capturing Bell alone is already a huge profit.
He then slowly walked up to the imprisoned men in black robes and coldly asked, "Where did those missing children go? Don't tell me you don't know..."
He carefully verified that although there were many skeletons in the underground palace, the number did not match the number of missing children.
This only proves that those children had another purpose.
"this........."
The group of men in black robes looked at each other, seemingly hesitant, and none of them dared to answer.
Seeing this, Rahu gently raised his sword.
With a clear "clang," the sword was drawn from its sheath.
A blinding flash of cold light appeared, and the nearest black-robed man was sliced into several pieces by the fine sword energy before he could even scream. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, a gruesome sight.
"I said! I said!"
The strongest man in black robes looked anxious and hurriedly said, "I am the most trusted person under Protector Cheng. I know a lot of things. If I confess, can you let me go?"
"You have no right to negotiate with the young master!"
Luo Hou narrowed his eyes, gripped the sword hilt with his fingers, and exuded a murderous aura that terrified the victim, who nearly fainted.
"I can let you go."
But Li Wudao waved his hand and winked at Luo Hou, saying, "However, you only have one chance. If you conceal anything or make any mistakes, you know what will happen."
The black-robed commander, his face showing signs of relief, breathed heavily and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master needs to use virgin blood to speed up his training..."
Li Wudao understood.
All of this was exactly as expected.
"Who is your young master, and where is he now?"
He pressed for more information.
"I don't know either......."
The black-robed leader spoke with a bitter tone, "The young master's identity is mysterious. All we know is that he is the illegitimate son of a certain bigwig in the demon race. As for communication between the top and bottom, it is all handled by Protector Cheng alone. We dare not inquire about it."
Li Wudao was somewhat frustrated; the clues had run dry again.
"By the way, where's that bastard Qi Xingyu?"
He suddenly realized that a key figure was missing.
The black-robed commander, trembling with fear and a pained expression, said, "Not long before you came in, he went to the palace with the eldest prince of the Yu Dynasty, saying it was to enjoy flowers and wine and celebrate..."
Upon hearing this, Li Wudao's eyes suddenly turned cold.
These two traitors, who harmed countless innocent people and murdered his fellow disciples, still had the mood to celebrate.
"I've told you everything I know, now can you let me go?"
The black-robed commander asked in a trembling voice.
Li Wudao glanced at him, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "Of course, not only you, but all of you can leave."
"Thank you for sparing my life, young master!"
The group of men in black robes were overjoyed, as if they had been granted a pardon. They thanked them repeatedly and turned to leave.
But in the next moment.
A clear, cold sword cry rang out.
Including the commander, more than a dozen men in black robes were beheaded at the same time, their blood gushing out and forming a bloody stream on the ground.
Luo Hou slowly sheathed his sword, his face expressionless, as if he had merely swatted a few flies.
Looking at the corpses lying scattered on the ground, Green Turtle couldn't help but swallow hard, staring in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Damn, you're really ruthless! You've got people killed without any remorse!"
Li Wudao calmly straightened his sleeves, a slight smile playing on his lips. "How am I black? I let them go. Luo Hou killed them, what does that have to do with me?"
"........."
The green-haired turtle was speechless, staring at him for a long time before finally exclaiming in frustration, "You awesome kid... I have nothing to say!"
It felt a chill run down its spine. This kid was young, but incredibly cunning. Even it, an old fox who had lived for tens of thousands of years, felt a sense of dread.
"Young Master, now that you are unharmed, I will return to report."
Luo Hou cupped his hands and said.
"it is good."
Li Wudao nodded, somewhat angrily saying, "Go back and tell Old Man Xia that this matter of him lying to me can't be resolved without at least 100,000 spirit stones!"
"Otherwise, I'll definitely pluck his beard!"
"........"
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly beneath the Rahu mask. He mumbled a few responses, then made an excuse and hurriedly left.
If they continued talking, he really didn't know how to explain it to the original poster.
"Phew, finally solved..."
The green-haired turtle let out a long sigh of relief and lay sprawled on the ground, "It's so good to be alive!"
Li Wudao also showed a relieved expression.
This battle was arguably the most perilous one he had ever faced, requiring him to employ numerous trump cards to barely manage to hold his own.
However, this effort to wipe out the remnants of the demon race is a great achievement, and we can report back to the sect.
Moreover, this battle gave him a deeper understanding of his own strength.
He was confident that even if Luo Hou didn't come, he could eventually deal with Cheng Yuanliang, but he would inevitably have to pay a considerable price.
Suppressing all distracting thoughts, Li Wudao stepped forward and helped Zhou Bai up, asking, "Can you still walk?"
Zhou Bai nodded, his face pale, and walked unsteadily. He hesitated and asked, "Senior Brother Li, what do you plan to do with Qi Xingyu?"
"Don't worry, I will give an explanation to my fallen comrades."
Li Wudao's face was as cold as frost, and his voice was clear and icy, "Neither he nor the First Prince will survive today!"
He gazed deeply at the hellish underground palace and the mountains of corpses, and sighed with regret:
"Let's go out first. We'll have everyone come over later so we can bury them as soon as possible..."
