Chapter 191: Sweeping

Chapter 191 Cleanup

Having spoken these words, Wang Deqiu hooked his right heel back, directly lifting a single-edged blade from the ground into his hand.

Holding this blade, he rushed toward Li Huowang without a shred of hesitation.

"Clang! Clang!" Sword met blade, constantly emitting crisp sounds.

Streams of something continuously poured from the You Family Sword in his hand into Li Huowang's entire body, making him almost overwhelm Wang Deqiu.

Yet the opponent's nearly life-for-life fighting style also made Li Huowang feel somewhat troubled.

However, accompanied by a "clang," the sound ceased abruptly, a blade tumbled to the ground, the opponent's blade broke.

Li Huowang originally intended to hold back, to keep a captive for questioning, yet the sword in his hand made his blood and qi surge continuously, simply could not stop his hand.

When Wang Deqiu raised the broken blade to stab into Li Huowang's abdomen, Li Huowang's sword also pierced into the opponent's chest.

"Who exactly are you!" Li Huowang gritted his teeth and stared at the person before him, asking.

Facing death, Wang Deqiu however appeared not to care in the slightest.

He struggled to spit saliva onto Li Huowang's face, but that blood-stained saliva could only slide powerlessly down his chin.

He almost used his greatest strength to roar: "You beast of the You Family, do not think to lay hands on Later Shu, as long as we are here, Later Shu will not yield an inch of land!!"

"How many times must I say it! I am not someone from the Four Qi You Family! This sword was given by someone else!"

These words Wang Deqiu could no longer hear, as scalding blood continuously surged from his chest, his body went soft and gradually collapsed onto the ground.

Gasping for breath, Li Huowang gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled the broken blade from his abdomen.

Immediately after pressing on the wound with his hand, Li Huowang took another look at Wang Deqiu's corpse, cursed silently, then turned to help the others.

The entire stockade had become a mess, but with the master dead, the remaining whelps clearly could not hold out much longer.

Facing Li Huowang and the others, they retreated step by step, panic-stricken towards the depths of the cave.

Just as Li Huowang and the others were about to completely slaughter the last batch of people, accompanied by a boom, a section of the cave actually collapsed, appearing between the two sides was a stone wall.

"Clang clang clang!" Gao Zhijian used the iron rod in his hand to forcefully strike the stone, constantly striking out spots of sparks.

"Enough, stop knocking, one look tells us this was prepared in advance, the path is completely sealed."

Hearing Li Huowang's words, Gao Zhijian sheepishly put his hand down.

With a "clang," as the sword body entered the sheath, Li Huowang felt his mind clear, slowly exhaled a breath then forcefully shook his head.

Immediately after he turned his head back, looking inside the Assembly Hall, at the crisscrossed corpses, he suddenly felt somewhat irritable, in the end so many people died again.

To tell the truth, he did not want to kill, yet the blood debt in his hands now grew heavier and heavier.

Li Huowang took another look at Wang Deqiu's corpse, reached out and tore a large piece of clothing from a nearby dead body, wrapping his You Family Sword anew.

All this in the final analysis was caused by this sword, by now, Li Huowang had also figured it out.

It was precisely because during the wedding, Monkey Second recognized this sword, and mistakenly thought him to be someone from the Four Qi Military Family.

Only then did he attract people like Wang Deqiu, otherwise how would there be this trouble.

"In Later Shu, people with grudges against the You Family must be many, this sword cannot be revealed so easily again."

"Moreover, for the next period of time must hurry on the journey, wait until Later Shu's Military Family knows Wang Deqiu is dead, absolutely will not let it rest, definitely will send more people, I cannot be stuck by them."

Li Huowang although easily won this time, yet he also dared not oppose the entire Later Shu Kingdom, this was undoubtedly a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Chun Xiaoman holding the sword, walked inside the cave, although her chest still heaved somewhat, yet encountering those breathing, still directly raised sword to finish them off, to prevent the opponent jumping up to sneak attack.

Just as she walked to before Li Huowang, a hand reached out. "Give it to me."

"Senior Brother Li, give you... what?" Chun Xiaoman pretended ignorance saying.

"Stop pretending with me, take out the 'Great Thousand Record', that thing is not for you to use."

Looking at her constantly bleeding fingers, how could Li Huowang not know what thing she was using.

However Chun Xiaoman looked at Bai Lingmiao once, then covered her own chest and retreated several steps, eyes exceptionally resolute.

"Senior Brother Li, this is not that scroll of yours, this is what I searched from others, this is my thing."

When Li Huowang walked towards her, Xiaoman step by step retreated backward.

"You simply do not understand, what thing you are dealing with, that thing you cannot use!" Li Huowang's tone began to become severe.

Seeing her back was against the wall, no retreat left, Chun Xiaoman subconsciously drew her sword.

Looking at that sharp sword across before him, Li Huowang immediately laughed in anger. "Through life and death so many times, now you draw sword on me?"

Chun Xiaoman's eyes somewhat dodged, but very quickly steadied. "Sorry, Senior Brother Li, I must possess my own blade."

"Fine! Such ability, go out and venture alone! Why follow everyone depending on each other for life!"

These words out, Chun Xiaoman's body swayed slightly, in her eyes immediately could not help but want to shed tears.

In her heart, this was now the thing she cared about most.

Bai Lingmiao quickly blocked between the two, face showing difficulty saying: "Senior Brother Li, do not be like this, everyone is one family, speak nicely."

"I say it again! Give me the 'Great Thousand Record'!!"

Red-eyed Chun Xiaoman, gritting teeth took out the 'Great Thousand Record'.

Seeing Li Huowang focus attention on the red bamboo slip, Bai Lingmiao quickly pulled Chun Xiaoman to a corner.

"Sister Xiaoman, Senior Brother Li speaks right, that thing is very dangerous, every use is very painful, you better not take it."

These words immediately ignited fire in Chun Xiaoman's heart, her tone carrying indignation as she said: "You know that thing is dangerous, yet still argue for your man? Did you give your body until you turned stupid? This kind of thing you also obey him? Cannot distinguish good from bad?"

"But Sister Xiaoman, Senior Brother Li is different from you, his hand broken can grow back, you cannot."

Chun Xiaoman somewhat disappointed looked at Bai Lingmiao once, holding sword towards one side cave walked.

Seeing opponent this way, Bai Lingmiao immediately somewhat panicked quickly followed.

"Sister Xiaoman, we are still good sisters right? You won't ignore me right?"

Chun Xiaoman buried head, inside cave straight walked, really somewhat did not want to heed Bai Lingmiao's entanglement.

However under Bai Lingmiao's pleas, her heart gradually softened again.

"I know you favor him, but some things cannot all obey him, this will only make him walk further astray, in the end only harm him."

Just about to continue saying something, some mournful sobbing sounds softly rose, making Chun Xiaoman quickly draw sword, blocked before Bai Lingmiao.
