Chapter 32: Peak of the Bitter Sea
It was almost noon, and the second round of the election for the top courtesan in Yurun Palace was nearing its end.
Li Feng was a favorite, and he was from the Li family, one of the three major families in Yilong Town. However, he actually lost to an unknown female warrior, which made many spectators talk about it with relish.
Afterwards, Yurun Palace arranged for dinner. Since the seating was two per table, Li Wudao and the weirdo ate together. The contestants dined in the inner hall.
Hearing that everyone had full confidence in Qi Meng, Ge Ren also became happy.
"This mask is good, at least it shows your mouth so I can eat. But it would be nice if I could see your real face!" Li Wudao usually doesn't talk much, especially to outsiders. Now he is in a good mood and chatted with the weirdo.
There is a picture of an evil ghost on the mask, looking at it coldly and threateningly, as if to keep strangers away.
This man, wearing a ghost mask, said nothing from beginning to end. There was a kind of sincere indifference in his eyes, as if everyone he saw was a cold corpse.
"You don't want to see it." The weirdo was stunned for a moment, and stopped the chopsticks that were about to reach his mouth. He said coldly to Li Wudao.
Li Wudao didn't expect him to say that. He originally thought he might be mute, but it turned out that he was just simply indifferent.
"You might as well try it." Li Wudao put down his chopsticks, picked up the tea and brought it to his mouth.
The weirdo didn't say anything, but he raised his hands to untie the straps of the ghost mask. In one tenth of a second, he quickly let Li Wudao take a look, and then put on the ghost mask again.
"This..." Li Wudao stopped drinking water, speaking awkwardly and feeling a little overwhelmed.
What kind of face is that?
The two eyes are normal, but what is abnormal is that he has four artificial eyes that are similar to eyes, three on his forehead and one on his right cheekbone.
The so-called artificial eye is a tumor shaped like an eye that cannot be used to see.
He also has no eyebrows and a high, raised forehead.
So ugly!
If Li Wudao had not had any grudge against him in the past and felt there was no need to offend him, he would have almost vomited the lunch he had just eaten.
Even so, Li Wudao felt a burning nausea in his stomach. He couldn't drink the tea that was brought to his mouth.
At this moment, Li Wudao regretted why he said he wanted to take a look. After taking a look, he couldn't even eat dinner!
"You saw my face, I saw your face, now it's fair." Li Wudao didn't know how to comfort him. Maybe others were living well, so he could only say this.
The strange man stared at Li Wudao, his cold eyes softened a lot. He drank the tea beside him and walked out of Yurun Palace directly.
Li Wudao looked at him and sighed, but did not notice that a drop of crystal liquid dripped from the weirdo's body and hit the wooden floor of Yurun Palace, splashing water.
After lunch, the Oiran election continued.
After the second round of screening, only twenty were left out of the sixty-three beauties, each of them as beautiful as a flower and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Dear spectators, dear ladies." The Palace Master Yurun came out again to take charge of the situation and started the third round of the competition.
In the third level, each person was given a low-grade martial art called Meizishu.
"The courtesan must not be just a vase, she must have extraordinary comprehension and be able to become a good wife. This martial art is given to you to take back and practice. Those who practice it successfully after seven days will enter the fourth round!" Yu Rungong said to the twenty beauties with a smile on his face.
Then today's Oiran election is over, and the results will not be known until seven days later.
Everyone dispersed, and Li Wudao also left with Qi Meng.
The carriage drove along the main street of Yilong Town. Among the endless stream of people, Qi Meng did not sit in the carriage, but drove the carriage with Li Wudao.
The jade feet swayed happily and the bronze bells tinkled.
At this moment, a figure rushed towards Li Wudao in full view of everyone.
"It's you! I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me!" Li Wudao recognized the person who came. It was the strange man who had eaten at the same table with him in Yurun Palace this morning.
He had reached the minor success level of the Qi realm, and each step he took was a full ten feet long. The powerful Qi enveloped his entire body, and passersby along the way retreated, not daring to compete with him.
This is a strong opponent, whose realm is far beyond Li Wudao, and his strength should not be underestimated!
Li Wudao stuffed Qi Meng into the carriage, jumped off the carriage, and killed the monster.
"Five Extremes Collapsing Fist!" The Qi and blood in Dantian stimulated the vital energy of heaven and earth, and the sounds of dragons and tigers roared. Li Wudao did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and pushed the Tianyuan physical skills to the extreme, using the middle-grade martial arts to punch out.
"Bang!"
At that moment, Li Wudao's iron fist collided with the monster's leg whip, making a loud noise.
“Crack!”
A powerful force hit Li Wudao. Even though Li Wudao's body was supported by physical skills, the bones in his right hand made a cracking sound and were actually broken!
"Li Wudao!" Qi Meng roared miserably, rushed out of the carriage, and ran towards Li Wudao desperately.
"Go! You are no match for him, run!" Li Wudao got up from the ground with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, pinching his right hand with his left hand and said in pain.
This weirdo is too powerful. He injured Li Wudao with one move and has absolute suppressing power!
With Qi Meng's limited combat experience, she is likely to be defeated and is no match for the monster.
Li Wudao didn't want Qi Meng to die, so he urged her to leave.
"Leave? I'm afraid we can't leave!" This is what Master Lan said with a proud look on his face as he walked out with his subordinates.
He spent a large sum of money to hire a killer to kill someone, and now the killer has arrived, waiting for him to kill Li Wudao!
"It's you? Damn it!" Li Wudao protected Qi Meng in front of him and looked at the complacent Master Lan with great anger.
He understood. No wonder this strange man was fine in the morning but suddenly attacked in the afternoon. It turned out that he was Master Lan's man.
"Ghost-faced killer, kill him!" Master Lan sneered, and the ghost-faced killer moved. At the same time, Master Lan told several of his men to capture Qi Meng.
With the blessing of true qi, masters in the true qi realm can move as fast as the wind and have infinite strength. Moreover, their martial arts are evolved by the true qi and can penetrate their bodies. Li Wudao is no match for him at all.
"Protect yourself!" Li Wudao growled and rushed towards the ghost-faced killer under tremendous pressure.
Qi Meng's cultivation level is not low, and she has no problem dealing with several martial artists at the level of the Bitter Sea Realm. However, as for the terrifying existence of the Ghost-Faced Killer, Li Wudao decided to leave the danger to himself.
Although the Ghost-Faced Killer was silent, he was indeed a ruthless man. His hands turned into ghost claws and his attacks were extremely fast.
Li Wudao didn't dare to fight head-on, and could only dodge with his body skills to avoid the ghost claws and the martial arts that were launched from time to time.
"boom!"
“Crack!”
The stalls along the street were smashed to pieces one after another by the Ghost-Faced Killer's martial arts, and all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves flew everywhere, creating a very chaotic scene.
The sounds of shouting, crying and talking from all kinds of passers-by were endless.
The ghost-faced killer took steady steps, but like a cheetah, he instantly approached Li Wudao, and pinched Li Wudao's shoulder with his right claw.
Li Wudao was unable to dodge and had no choice but to withstand the enemy's attack and hit with his only intact left fist.
"puff!……"
The powerful force directly knocked Geren away, his body was blasted two meters away, and he was pressed to the ground with a dull sound, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The ghost-faced killer seriously injured Li Wudao again and walked towards Li Wudao with an expressionless face, wanting to make him bleed for five steps.
"cough!"
Li Wudao coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked at the ghost-faced killer who was closing in on him, feeling extremely anxious.
Is this the strength of a True Qi Realm warrior? It's a bit too strong!
The Ghost-Faced Killer had barely used his martial arts skills when he injured Li Wudao, crippling both of his arms. This was despite Li Wudao's dodging and evasion. If they had engaged him head-on, he would have likely been killed in one blow!
Just when Li Wudao was at his wit's end and was about to endure the severe pain and take the poison from his chest, there was a loud bang in his dantian and a breakthrough occurred.
The dantian was opened up six inches, and as the qi sea expanded, more refined heaven and earth energy was absorbed in, making Li Wudao instantly feel a great improvement in strength and combat power!
Looking at the ghost-faced killer so close to him, Li Wudao suddenly became furious. He jumped up from the ground with a somersault and leaped forward.
"Xingtiankou!" A powerful mid-grade martial arts move was performed by Li Wudao at the last moment.
Li Wudao was seen rushing up from the bottom, with his right knee bent, and his knee covered by Yaoyang's white light. His speed was so fast that even a master like the Ghost Face Killer could not dodge it!
"puff!"
Li Wudao's knee hit the Ghost-Faced Killer's chin directly, causing his jaw to explode instantly. Blood flowed all over the ground and he passed out on the ground.
Li Wudao's counterattack was successful!
This move was mainly unexpected. It was when the Ghost-faced Killer relaxed his vigilance and thought that Li Wudao had no ability to resist that he suddenly attacked.
"What!" Master Lan shouted in shock. He didn't expect Li Wudao to fight back!
Looking at the killer he hired at a high price, now lying on the ground with no one knowing whether he was dead or alive, Master Lan felt like he had seen a ghost. He didn't expect it to be like this.
"Li Wudao!" The few warriors who had reached the peak of the Bitter Sea Realm and were defeated by Qi Meng looked at Li Wudao with a distressed look on their faces.
With both hands crippled and his green robe stained with blood, Li Wudao was in the most miserable state possible.
When Master Lan saw that his subordinate was actually killed by Qi Meng, and looked at the ghost-faced killer whose life or death was unknown, he cursed angrily and wanted to leave.
"Still want to run! Die!" Li Wudao was almost killed by Master Lan. He let him escape last time, so this time he must wipe him out completely.
Enduring the severe pain, Li Wudao took a few steps to catch up with Master Lan and kicked him.
"Bang!"
Using the mid-level martial arts Tianyun Leg and the powerful strength of the peak of the Bitter Sea Realm, he kicked Master Lan in the waist and actually broke his spine directly, killing him!
"We can't stay here for long, let's go!" Li Wudao had too many enemies, and he didn't care about the life or death of the ghost-faced killer on the ground. He and Qi Meng rushed to Qige Medicinal Materials Shop without stopping.
Master Lan hired someone to kill Li Wudao, but was kicked to death by Li Wudao. His body was left on the street, and there was no one to collect it!
