Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 912 - 520: Green Flower, Farewell! (Part 2)

The originally soft clothes became extremely hard, hitting Li Banfeng’s head solidly.

This time, Green Flower was confident he could smash Li Banfeng’s head.

But Li Banfeng’s head did not break; blood flowed down from his forehead.

Green Flower was stunned; how could a Traveling Cultivator take such a hit? There must be some Spiritual Objects hidden in his hair!

There were no Spiritual Objects in Li Banfeng’s hair; he used the Benevolent and Righteous Technique to withstand the blow!

Green Flower grasped the clothes, his fingertips trembled, and the clothes became soft again, like zongzi leaves, wrapping Li Banfeng inside.

Li Banfeng was knocked unconscious. In his daze, he felt danger approaching and, taking advantage of his still-moving feet, hurriedly activated Short Step, wriggling out of the clothes unimpeded.

The Greenwater Beggar retrieved the tattered clothes and suddenly found himself in the deep mountains.

What mountain is this? Why is there only wild grass and stones?

Li Banfeng suddenly spoke up: "Senior, I have great respect for you."

What does that mean?

Bang!

The ground beneath Green Flower exploded, and he swiftly dodged.

Li Banfeng continued: "Senior, even if you lose today, I will not kill you."

Rumble!

A cliff face exploded, and the flying debris left bloody holes all over Green Flower.

Green Flower finally realized where he was.

This was Bloody Fang Mountain.

Li Banfeng used the Mind Traverse Thousand Mountains Technique to move Bloody Fang Mountain here.

Green Flower wanted to make a deceitful move, blowing up a section of the mountain, but the Mind Traverse Thousand Mountains Technique’s duration was short, and Bloody Fang Mountain vanished in an instant.

Green Flower hurriedly collected the scattered flesh, sprinkled wine from the Wine Gourd, set a fire with Gloves, and collected ashes with the Projector, while Li Banfeng circled Green Flower, continuously enabling Trample Over Thousands of Rivers.

Reducing bit by bit, giving no chance for recovery, Li Banfeng planned to wear Green Flower down to death.

In the midst of parrying, Green Flower found it increasingly confounding; he had never seen such a mad Traveling Cultivator. Most normal ones combined hitting with fleeing, relying on various tactics, but this rascal just kept attacking, completely ignoring advance and retreat.

Seeing the unfavorable battle situation, Green Flower did not flee, standing firm until Li Banfeng took a step that didn’t perform any technique.

Exhausted?

Not really; Li Banfeng still had enough stamina.

Being close to his Portable Residence, high-level Home Cultivation practitioners had greater stamina near their abode than cultivators of the same level.

He couldn’t execute the technique due to interference; Li Banfeng was sniffing, like a worm wriggling in his nose, making him want to sneeze.

"My lord, you can’t sneeze!" Remembering something, Tang Sword said, "A sneeze and your eyes will be gone!"

This was the disease point inflicted by Green Flower.

When did this happen?

Could it have been when he was hit by that ragged clothing?

Li Banfeng guessed right; Green Flower’s moves weren’t just brute force; the clothing’s damage was significant, and the disease points were numerous.

Weighed down by the disease points, Li Banfeng found it hard to concentrate. Green Flower quickly moved close and spat a thick phlegm outward.

Li Banfeng quickly dodged; the phlegm landed on a concrete wall, creating a fist-sized hole.

The Greenwater Beggar then threw a handful of snot. The snot grew wings, transforming into a clear, transparent bird, persistently chasing Li Banfeng from behind.

Now Li Banfeng couldn’t fight Green Flower head-on. The discomfort in his nose muddled his thoughts, causing tears to flow uncontrollably, severely affecting his vision.

Under Green Flower’s assault, Li Banfeng fled in all directions.

This was the kind of Traveling Cultivator Green Flower was familiar with, and he had many ways to deal with them.

...

Chuuni heard the continuous rumbling from deep down the road, looking toward the warning line.

"We should go take a look; Straw Moth Lady is powerful, and Bureau Chief Li alone can’t handle this formidable foe. At least we can provide some assistance."

Light Bulb shook his head and said, "Brother, if you’ve been to Puluo State, you’ll understand, never interfere in battles you shouldn’t. Going there would just create chaos and might even jeopardize Seventh Master!"

As they spoke, a man hurriedly came over from afar.

Light Bulb immediately stood up, blocking the man, asking, "What are you doing?"

In the middle of summer, the man wore a coat with a high collar, covering his face, and a mountaineering hat on his head.

Upon closer inspection, his face seemed to have quite a few bandages.

The man glanced at Light Bulb and said, "I’m new here, coming to support you."

"New here?" Light Bulb was momentarily stunned, "Why haven’t I seen you before?"

"The way you say that," the bandaged man seemed puzzled, "If you’ve seen me, would I still be considered new?"

Light Bulb thought for a moment; that did make sense!

Before he could ask more, the bandaged man had already crossed the warning line, entering Sui Chen Road.

Light Bulb was taken aback; "Didn’t Bureau Chief Li say that without his order, not to take a single step past the warning line? This guy disobeyed orders."

Dumpling said, "When Bureau Chief Li gave orders earlier, he hadn’t arrived yet; he didn’t hear the order, so it can’t be counted as disobeying now, can it?"

Light Bulb shook his head: "Bureau Chief Li didn’t give orders just to the three of us; it was given to the entire team. The whole Public Security Team and even the entire Dark Star Bureau must follow Bureau Chief Li’s orders."

While Light Bulb was still arguing with Dumpling about the validity range of the order, Chuuni was the first to come to his senses: "Why do you all think that person is from the Public Security Team?"

Light Bulb blinked and said, "He said so himself; he’s new."

Chuuni, surprised, said, "So you just believe him? He didn’t even show any identification!"

...

Li Banfeng was still maneuvering with Green Flower, or rather, he himself didn’t know if this counted as maneuvering.
