Chapter 915 - 520: Farewell, Green Flower! (5)
"Ah Qi, get in the car!"
Li Banfeng leapt forward, grabbing the outside wall of the carriage, running alongside the train.
Whoosh~
Amidst the mist, Li Banfeng and the Greenwater Beggar were simultaneously thrown off the train, landing on the ground.
Cui Tiq didn’t know what had happened; he only saw the Greenwater Beggar and Li Banfeng fly out of midair.
Watching both of them fall to the ground, Cui Tiq walked over to the Greenwater Beggar.
The opportunity has come.
Ancestral Master, I truly love you, let me send you off for the last time.
Cui Tiq removed the stethoscope from his neck and put it on the Greenwater Beggar’s ears.
He picked up the stethoscope’s earpiece, intending to use sonic disease to kill the Greenwater Beggar.
Cui Tiq let out a muffled roar, his voice continuing for two to three seconds. The Greenwater Beggar suddenly opened his eyes and kicked Cui Tiq dozens of meters away, stomping him until he was silent.
The Greenwater Beggar took the stethoscope off his ears, with a smile on his face.
"Good disciple, you have skill; you’ve got tricks I can’t even figure out. Tell me, how did you place this affliction? Be my master for once, and I’ll learn from you." The Greenwater Beggar fiddled with the stethoscope for a moment, suddenly feeling something missing from his hands.
Where is the Begging Bowl? It was just in my hand, how is it suddenly gone?
The Greenwater Beggar first looked at Cui Tiq, then at Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng stood up and looked around at the situation.
He Jiaqing could no longer move.
Cui Tiq was severely injured.
He, too, was badly hurt.
Though the Greenwater Beggar was also injured, he still retained at least fifty percent of his combat power, enough to kill the three of them, while their chances of killing him were nearly zero.
This is the toughest Local Deity in Puluo State: three people fighting with all their might can’t bring him down.
Now it seems there’s only one way left: send the Greenwater Beggar away first, then after escaping, think of a strategy.
The Greenwater Beggar looked at Li Banfeng with a sinister expression: "Give me back the bowl."
Li Banfeng laughed: "The bowl is with me, if you have the skill, come and get it."
The Greenwater Beggar paused for a moment, then laughed as well: "Alright, I’ll come get it."
He walked slowly toward Li Banfeng.
Li Banfeng readied his Thousand Mile In A Step Technique.
He couldn’t control where this would send him, and as the Green Flower approached, Li Banfeng kicked out.
The technique didn’t work; Li Banfeng missed.
Using the Thousand Mile In A Step Technique would cause Li Banfeng to lose his sense of direction and distance; against opponents like Chu Zikai or a Coachman, he could compensate with speed.
But not against the Greenwater Beggar; with even a slight misstep, the Greenwater Beggar easily dodged.
Green Flower laughed: "You haven’t mastered this technique; I’ll let you kick once more, make sure you aim this time!"
Li Banfeng gritted his teeth, lightly brushed against his gloves.
He needed to find his bearings; without a sense of direction, even a hundred kicks wouldn’t hit Green Flower.
With no one calling, he decided to make a call out instead; once the phone connected, he’d be able to sense direction.
His gloves dialed several times, but not a single call went through.
The Thousand Mile In A Step Technique affected surrounding objects, causing the phone to confuse direction, unable to make a call.
Green Flower dropped his smile: "Are you coming or not? If you aren’t, I’ll make a move."
Li Banfeng didn’t respond.
Green Flower sighed: "Li Qi, having the guts to oppose me shows you have potential in this lifetime; now that you die by my hand, I’ve helped complete your story."
Li Banfeng wasn’t in the mood to talk; he was still trying to judge Green Flower’s position and the right moment to strike.
Cui Tiq clenched his teeth and closed his eyes.
He had always wanted to gamble on catching a big fish; now he had gambled and lost, leaving him speechless.
Green Flower approached Li Banfeng again, keeping an eye on his footing, wary of a sudden Light Halo.
Buzz!
Li Banfeng’s phone suddenly rang.
The gloves quickly answered the call, placing it near Li Banfeng’s ear.
A voice came through the receiver: "Banfeng, get up and pee."
Li Banfeng regained his sense of direction, landing a kick on Green Flower.
Green Flower stepped back two steps, but didn’t fly away.
Li Banfeng flew, but not far, landing beside He Jiaqing.
Why didn’t the Greenwater Beggar fly?
"Again, try again..." He Jiaqing, barely alive, still held the phone in his hand.
He had experienced this before; the first time he fought the Greenwater Beggar, he was able to withstand a single Thousand Mile In A Step.
But could he withstand it a second time?
With full combat power, the Greenwater Beggar might barely endure.
Now that he had just half of his combat power left, the outcome was uncertain.
The Greenwater Beggar staggered, struggling to steady himself: "I told you your technique is lacking, yet you don’t accept it. Try it once more, and let me see!"
"Alright! Green Flower, farewell!" Li Banfeng said with a smile, baring his teeth as he rushed at the Greenwater Beggar.
He repeatedly thought in his mind: "Help me, you must help me!"
He kicked out.
The Greenwater Beggar felt uneasy, intending to dodge, when a Tang Sword suddenly thrust down from above.
"Beheading with Every Blow!" The blade was fiery red, erupting with cracks; this move, the Tang Sword risked its cultivation and life.
Having just endured a Thousand Mile In A Step, the Greenwater Beggar was in a tight spot, escaping the Tang Sword was impossible, escaping Li Banfeng was unthinkable.
He ultimately chose to dodge the Tang Sword.
He realized that Li Banfeng had likely just arrived Above the Clouds; with his current cultivation level, he couldn’t use Thousand Mile In A Step repeatedly.
For just a Traveling Cultivator, Li Banfeng didn’t have that ability, yet when he kicked out, the Greenwater Beggar flew.
This flight, falling back down would be difficult.
Thousand Mile In A Step?
Did he actually use Thousand Mile In A Step twice?
This couldn’t be!
He could never have imagined that the first Thousand Mile In A Step was Li Banfeng’s own technique.
The second Thousand Mile In A Step was borrowed by Li Banfeng, using the Deep Mansion Courtyard Technique from Hong Ying.
The Greenwater Beggar’s silhouette vanished into the night, while Li Banfeng retreated to He Jiaqing’s side, sitting down.
He Jiaqing looked up at Li Banfeng, with a slight smile: "Banfeng..."
Li Banfeng nodded, gently closing He Jiaqing’s eyes.
Cui Tiq murmured from the side: "I don’t think he’s dead yet."
Li Banfeng didn’t reply, rising to leave.
Cui Tiq said: "Can you tell me, where did my Grandmaster go? I’m very worried about him."
Li Banfeng looked at Cui Tiq: "He’s gone to the place you most want him to go."
PS: Where did Green Flower’s Begging Bowl go? That’s quite a valuable item!
A good story, you have to tell it all at once, dear readers, give a shout-out to Shala.
