PDLP Chapter 41 Now, it's my turn to threaten you!
Chapter 41 Now, it's my turn to threaten you!
"So what if it is!"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan unconsciously took two steps back, as if she heard a muffled thud in her ear.
In the distance, the wind rustles through the trees, and looking at the two figures sitting and standing, it's as if the wind has stopped within two feet of them. The grass sways outwards, and the leaves are shaken up and then fall quietly.
The two remained locked in a standoff for a long time, but neither showed any intention of making a move.
Li Che thought to himself, "This girl is quite young, but her internal strength is not bad. The Demonic Sect's foundation is indeed formidable."
Ren Yingying was equally alarmed. She had been guided by a famous teacher since childhood and had undergone medicinal baths to strengthen her body and cultivate her strength, which was why she had achieved what she had today. This boy's sword skills were already quite remarkable, but she did not expect his internal strength to be so impressive as well. If they were to fight, she was afraid she would be no match for him!
Thinking about this, I felt a bit annoyed. Was this kid just putting on airs or truly fearless?
After a while, Li Che stopped, seemingly somewhat deflated, and said, "What is your purpose? Just say it."
Beneath the veil, Miss Ren's lips curled slightly, and then she raised her arm and swung it out.
"call out--!"
Li Che opened his palm and accepted it; it was a red pill the size of a longan.
"Li thought it was a one-off deal, but it turns out Miss Ren wanted to hire a long-term worker. She's a bit greedy."
"Heh~ Take this pill, and you will still be a disciple of Mount Hua. Otherwise!" Ren Yingying swayed her bamboo hat slightly, as if sweeping over the six corpses, and said, "The righteous path will not tolerate you, the Songshan Sect will hunt you down, and the unorthodox sects will also try to kill you!"
"Of course, I'm not a heartless person. You've worked for me for three years, and I'll give you the antidote."
"A combination of kindness and severity, a balance of strictness and leniency, is a simple but effective method. I suppose that's how people like Ji Wushi and Mobei Dead Bear submitted to Miss Ren."
Seeing him fidgeting with the pill, looking at it from left to right, rambling on and on without taking it, Ren Yingying grew impatient and said coldly, "Do you have any other choice?!"
"Of course!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Ren Yingying tensed up and secretly gathered her strength. But she saw the other person put the pill into his pocket without moving, and his face was no longer showing the defeated look from before.
"You're kidding me!"
Li Che nodded honestly and said, "Yes!"
He then sneered, "However, you tricked me first! I must thank Miss Ren for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Don't worry, I, Li, will make the most of it."
"How dare you!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Che leaped backward and pulled Qu Feiyan into his arms.
With a series of crisp "clinking" sounds, the "natural stone bench" was covered with a layer of long black needles. In the dark night, the needle tips turned half an inch blackish-purple and glowed with an eerie light.
Black Blood Divine Needle!
To everyone's surprise, Ren Yingying had no follow-up move after her initial attack. She turned and was about to leap into the woods, her voice sharp and laced with venom as she said, "Li, I hope you're quick enough to escape far enough tonight!"
Li Che didn't pursue the matter, but simply smiled and replied, "Thank you for the reminder. Plum Manor in West Lake is indeed a good place to take refuge!"
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Yingying's expression changed drastically. She leaped off the wooden plank, nearly falling to the ground.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind: How did he know? How could he possibly know?!
His gaze pierced through the light gauze and fell upon Qu Feiyan, who was being protected in his arms. He subconsciously thought, "Could it be that Qu Yang said this?"
No! Qu Yang only knows how to save people, but he doesn't know where they are.
Could it be that Xiang Wentian leaked the information? But how could someone as cautious as him be careless in such a matter?!
Or perhaps someone else found out from that scoundrel Yang Lianting?
Who exactly is this kid?!
But then Li Che found another rock, sat down unhurriedly, waved for Qu Feiyan to move away, and looked at the woman not far away with a mocking expression, "What, not moving anymore?"
Seeing the mocking look on his face, Ren Yingying suppressed her anger and said again, "Who told you that?!"
"I thought you were a smart man, but it seems you've lost your mind in anger. Would I ever say something like that?" Li Che then added, "Now, can we talk about terms?"
Ren Yingying pondered for a long time, unsure of how much he still knew. She then feigned composure and snorted coldly, "You've really gone to great lengths to save your life, even using rumors from the martial arts world as bargaining chips. I truly admire your audacity."
"Is that so? Relatively speaking, I admire Miss Ren more. You may leave now and have your men spread the word about what happened here."
I just don't know that Yang Lianting knew someone wanted to usurp the throne... You, the one surnamed Xiang, and that old man surnamed Ren who is imprisoned at the bottom of West Lake watching fish, and naturally, your lackeys too.
How many days do you people have left to live?!
Li Che counted on his fingers, and with each word he uttered, he felt the two pairs of eyes staring at him grow colder, while his smile deepened.
Threatening me?
Having traveled through time, do you think I'd let a little woman like you threaten me?!
After a while...
"What do you want?!"
"happy!"
The situation reversed, and Li Che started counting on his fingers again, his tone leaving no room for refusal: "Tonight, my two senior brothers from the Songshan Sect, Di Xiu and Wan Daping, learned that the demonic sect members were plotting a gathering. In order to protect the peace of Zhongzhou and promote righteousness, we must..."
He bravely fought to kill the traitors, but unfortunately, outnumbered and outgunned, he perished. Is there a problem with that?
Ren Yingying sneered again, "Then should I prepare some corpses of my followers for you?"
"No need for that. Five miles east of here is Jishan Charity Estate. Miss Ren, please arrange for someone to take the body there before dawn."
How do you know that place is...?
Li Che raised an eyebrow slightly. "Now, I'm threatening you. You have no right to ask questions!"
"Thief!"
Li Che ignored him, glanced at Qu Feiyan, and raised another finger. "Secondly, Qu Yang will no longer be a member of the Demonic Sect, and the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill must also be given to him."
Li Moubao has secured protection for the grandfather and grandson!
"You'll have to do something for me if necessary!"
Qu Feiyan, who hadn't spoken for a while, suddenly looked at Li Che and suddenly felt that this person... didn't seem so hateful after all.
Ren Yingying, enraged and humiliated, retorted, "Don't even think about it! To threaten someone by the throat is despicable!"
Li Che waved his hand and said calmly, "You can't say that. What I did is nothing compared to Miss Ren's Three Corpse Brain God Pill technique just now!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Li hasn't finished speaking yet!"
He then raised his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Ren Yingying frowned and remained silent.
Li Che added, "A communication token, otherwise how can I notify you to do things for me? If that doesn't work, the Blackwood Token will also do."
"You! You're asking for it!"
"laugh--!"
Miss Ren finally lost her composure and attacked in anger.
With a sudden flick of his left hand, hidden behind his back, the short sword flew out of his hand and hurtled toward Li Che's face with lightning speed.
However, Li Che was already on guard. His inner strength surged from his palm and flowed into the longsword. He seized the opportunity and simply used the hilt of the sword to support it.
With a resounding clang, the short sword spun in mid-air, and Li Che seized the hilt.
"That's it! I'm sure your men all recognize the Holy Maiden's weapon! Fei Fei, let's go!"
Having said that, he ignored the furious Miss Ren and got up to walk into the woods.
The latter failed in his first move, but did not make another. He just stared at the two who left with cold eyes and remained motionless for a long time.
To kill or not to kill?
What's the point of killing them again later if we can't kill them tonight?!
This scoundrel is cunning; since he dares to threaten so openly, he must have a backup plan.
After much deliberation, I find it difficult to make a decision...
After walking about seven or eight zhang, Li Che suddenly stopped, turned around and took out a broadsword from Mount Song, adding, "Don't forget to take care of these corpses."
