Chapter 56 Cat Blames Himself
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he no longer held back. He slapped a black leather bag on his waist, and a black light silently sank into his palm. It was a black poison needle that was soaked in a deadly poison and as thin as an ox hair.
At the same time, he muttered something, formed seals with his hands, and a violent spiritual power gathered in his palms, obviously intending to use a killing move.
Bai Qingchen had been controlling the talisman in the dark. When he saw Zhao Feng's movements and the obscure black light, alarm bells rang in his heart.
He interrupted the talisman attack without hesitation, and instantly activated the "Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace" technique, quickly dodging to the side, trying to create some distance.
Just as his body moved and was exposed at the edge of Zhao Feng's vision.
"It's you!"
Zhao Guangyuan had sharp eyes. With the help of the faint light emitted by Zhao Feng's shield, he saw Bai Qingchen's profile flash by. He immediately pointed in the direction where Bai Qingchen was hiding and screamed.
"My cousin! It's him! He's the one who beat me up during the day!"
Zhao Feng also locked onto Bai Qingchen's figure at the same time. He smiled sinisterly, and the killing move in his hand was ready to be launched.
A condensed spiritual power hammer, together with the hidden black poison needle, flashed in and out, accompanied by a whistling sound of the wind, smashed heavily towards the position that Bai Qingchen had just exposed.
Bai Qingchen had no way to avoid it and could only take it head-on. He hastily swung the Frost and Snow Sword, and a ray of icy sword energy met the spiritual hammer!
boom!
The sword energy collided with the heavy hammer, causing a violent energy fluctuation. Bai Qingchen was shocked so much that his blood surged. He took several steps back and his arm became numb.
However, the insidious poison needle, under the cover of the blast, shot silently straight into his throat.
Bai Qingchen had sharp awareness and at the critical moment he suddenly tilted his head, and the poison needle just grazed the skin on the side of his neck. It was a close call!
"You're quite capable! Unfortunately, that's all!" Seeing that his sneak attack failed, Zhao Feng pounced on him again with a grin.
The two men immediately started fighting fiercely in the narrow alley, and the collision of spiritual power caused gravel to fly.
Bai Qingchen bravely took the opponent's palm and stuck a powerful explosive fire talisman on the inside of Zhao Feng's protective shield.
Boom!!
A violent explosion exploded in front of Zhao Feng. The small bronze shield wailed, its light dimmed instantly, and cracks appeared. The violent flames hit Zhao Feng's chest fiercely.
"Puff!" Zhao Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his sternum caved in several pieces, and he flew backwards like a broken sack, hitting the wall heavily. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath was extremely weak.
His eyes were full of unwillingness. Bai Qingchen was not feeling well either. He took a palm strike from Zhao Feng, causing his internal organs to shake and blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.
He took a deep breath, raised the Frost and Snow Sword, and walked step by step towards Zhao Feng who was lying on the ground seriously injured, with the tip of the sword pointing at the other's throat.
The fear of death instantly gripped Zhao Feng. A trace of madness and resentment flashed in his eyes. He slammed another inconspicuous jade pendant on his waist, and a ray of light instantly enveloped him.
"Boy! Just wait! I'll remember you!"
Zhao Feng roared viciously, and with a flash of light, he disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind only a broken piece of jade pendant, which was obviously a life-saving magic weapon.
Zhao Guangyuan was already frightened silly and collapsed in the mud at the edge of the formation.
Seeing that his cousin had actually abandoned him and ran away, he was even more terrified.
Seeing Bai Qingchen coming towards him with a sword, he rolled and crawled to Bai Qingchen's feet, hugged his legs and cried for mercy.
"Hero! Spare me! Spare me! It was all... it was all my cousin's idea! It has nothing to do with me! I won't do it again! Please let me go! I... I will be your slave!"
Bai Qingchen kicked him away in disgust. Looking at Zhao Guangyuan's ugly appearance and thinking of the grievances Liu Wan had suffered, he was furious and kicked him hard several times, beating him so hard that his nose and face were swollen and he was wailing.
After beating him, Bai Qingchen felt that his anger was relieved. This kind of scum was not worth dirtying his sword, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
Just as he turned around and faced Zhao Guangyuan.
Zhao Guangyuan, who was originally wailing and rolling on the ground, looking like a coward, suddenly had a flash of extremely resentful and fierce light in his eyes.
He shook his sleeves, and a short dagger coated with a dark blue sheen, which was obviously poisoned, slipped into his hand. Like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, he jumped up with all his strength and stabbed the dagger fiercely at Bai Qingchen's defenseless back!
“Go to hell!”
However, Bai Qingchen, who had experienced countless life-and-death battles, had already had the perception of murderous intent engraved in his bones.
He noticed it the moment Zhao Guangyuan suddenly jumped up.
Bai Qingchen didn't even turn around completely, but swung his wrist holding the Frost Sword backwards!
Swish!
A cold sword light flashed by like moonlight.
Zhao Guangyuan's forward movement suddenly froze, and the ferocious look on his face froze.
A thin red line appeared in his throat, and then blood gushed out. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but only a hoarse sound of air leaked out, and his eyes quickly dimmed.
He fell to the ground with a thud, twitched a few times, and then became completely silent.
As for the thugs trapped in the formation, they fainted as soon as the formation was activated and the fog rose.
Bai Qingchen glanced coldly at the corpses on the ground and the group of mud-like thugs, then sheathed his sword.
He quickly cleaned up the traces he had left behind, transformed himself into a kitten again, and disappeared into the darkness after a few jumps.
He quietly returned to the vicinity of Liu's house and took a look from a distance.
The courtyard was quiet, with no lights and no signs of being disturbed.
He breathed a sigh of relief and jumped into the garden.
"Boss, you're back!" Sang Biao immediately jumped out from the corner, meowing excitedly in a low voice.
"I saw you turned into a human! So awesome! You chased away those bad guys! And saved Sister Liu Wan!" It circled around Bai Qingchen excitedly.
Bai Qingchen had no intention of responding to its admiration. He whispered solemnly, "Sang Biao, keep an eye on the city for now. I killed Zhao Guangyuan, and the Zhao family won't let it go. There's definitely unrest in the city lately."
Sang Biao immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Meow! Leave it to me!"
As expected, within two days, the city was full of wanted posters.
It depicts a portrait of a handsome young man holding a sword, and the reward for his capture is substantial.
The atmosphere in the city was noticeably more tense, with Zhao family guards appearing to be checking around ferociously from time to time.
Bai Qingchen squatted on the roof of the Liu family, looking at the wanted poster posted below, with no expression on his cat-like face.
What does catching Bai Qingchen have to do with a little white cat?
Zhao Feng used a magic weapon to escape back to his place in the city. He was seriously injured, his internal organs were dislocated, and several ribs were broken. He was in urgent need of treatment.
He didn't bother to take Zhao Guangyuan with him at that time. It was already the next day when he managed to stabilize his injuries and swallowed the pills to regain some mobility.
When he returned to the alley, he saw only Zhao Guangyuan's cold body and a group of frightened thugs.
"Waste! All of you waste!" Zhao Feng was so angry that he almost vomited blood again.
He thought carefully about the young man's appearance, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar he seemed.
Suddenly, he slapped his thigh. He remembered! This person was on the wanted poster sent by the family to all the branches!
It seems his name is Bai Qingchen. The family has offered a huge reward. Whoever can bring back his head will be admitted into the core of the family!
Zhao Feng's eyes instantly burst into light of greed and ecstasy. It was a blessing in disguise, what a great opportunity!
A sinister smile appeared on his lips, and he immediately summoned all the available manpower to launch a frantic search in the city, causing chaos in the city.
However, after a few days, the man named Bai Qingchen seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth without a trace.
Zhao Feng was furious. His eyes rolled and he came up with a sinister idea to capture Liu Wan. Since that boy was willing to stand up for Liu Wan and kill Zhao Guangyuan, it showed that he cared about this girl from the Liu family very much. As long as Liu Wan was captured, there was no need to worry that he would not show up.
He had something else to do and couldn't stay in Luofeng City for long. Fearing that the night would be too long and troublesome, he personally led people to raid the Liu family.
That day, Bai Qingchen happened to be out to inquire about the Zhao family's movements in the city and was not at the Liu family.
When he came back, he pushed open the half-open broken wooden door and saw a mess.
Grandma Liu fell to the ground, unconscious. Sang Biao anxiously circled around the old woman, wailing in helplessness and fear.
"Meow! Boss! You're finally back!"
When Sang Biao saw Bai Qingchen, he rushed over and shouted anxiously as if he had seen a savior.
"A lot of bad guys came and took Sister Liu Wan away."
Bai Qingchen's heart sank suddenly. He quickly checked Grandma Liu. Fortunately, she was just too frightened and pushed a little, so she was not seriously injured.
There was a letter on the table. Bai Qingchen opened it and saw that the content inside was left by that group of people.
They kidnapped Liu Wan and asked him to go to Zuifenglou in Muling within a month. If he did not arrive in time, they would kill Liu Wan.
He carefully carried the old man to the bed and covered him with a blanket.
Looking at the unconscious old man on the bed and listening to Sang Biao's anxious accusations, a strong sense of self-blame and anger surged in Bai Qingchen's heart.
Liu Wan was arrested entirely because of him. It was he who killed Zhao Guangyuan, which brought about Zhao Feng's revenge. It was his inconsideration that put the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren in danger again.
He must go, no matter if there is a dragon pool or a tiger pond ahead, he must rescue Liu Wan!
Bai Qingchen left some silver and healing and soothing pills for Grandma Liu, and seriously instructed Sang Biao to guard the house and take good care of Grandma Liu.
"Meow! Don't worry, boss!" Sang Biao nodded vigorously.
After settling everything, Bai Qingchen no longer hesitated.
He glanced at the unconscious Grandma Liu and the dilapidated hut, then turned and left in the direction of Muling.
