Chapter 0036: Asking for Guilt
He understood that the two were afraid that he would inform the others.
He thought for a moment, frowned and said, "However, Li Chengkong is a conceited guy, but also very cunning. Maybe he has some tricks up his sleeve to guard against me."
"Hmm..." He Changgeng nodded slowly: "What's the back-up plan?"
Zheng Xifeng frowned and thought hard.
Huangfu Feng sneered: "Zheng Xifeng, do you think he is too smart?"
Zheng Xifeng raised his head and smiled at him: "Brother Huangfu, it is better to think ahead than he does.
"That's right!" He Changgeng clapped his hands: "I suffered a loss from him once, I must learn from it this time, don't be fooled again!"
"Hey!" Huangfu Feng disagreed: "We were careless last time and underestimated him. Once we go all out, he won't stand a chance!"
He curled his lips: "The only power he can mobilize is those three guys. Could it be that they have been protecting him in secret?"
"...Probably not." Zheng Xifeng thought seriously: "Those three guys' cultivation is not as good as mine. If they are really in the dark, I can sense it."
"That's it." Huangfu Feng said, "What other power can he use? Don't scare yourself. Don't hesitate and miss the opportunity. Sometimes it's better to be simple than complicated. Be decisive and kill with one strike!"
Zheng Xifeng hesitated.
Huangfu Feng curled his lips and said, "I think... you were frightened by him!"
Zheng Xifeng smiled bitterly: "Brother Huangfu, you'd better be cautious. This guy is very cunning."
"I know, I know, I know! He is cunning, but we are more cunning than him!" Huangfu Feng said impatiently: "Take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill him with one blow. What's the point of him being cunning? Can he beat the two of us?"
"That's impossible." Zheng Xifeng shook his head: "But he..."
"That's enough!" Huangfu Feng waved his hand to interrupt him: "Stop nagging. The most taboo thing before a battle is hesitation. Brother He, this is no different from fighting on the battlefield. Where is your decisiveness?"
"Okay, that's settled!" He Changgeng said slowly.
Zheng Xifeng should shut up. If he said any more, Li Chengkong might think he was his accomplice and turn against him.
…
The next day, they drilled, patrolled, and ate together. When dusk fell, the three of them went into the woods together to avoid people's sight.
The woods shrouded in dusk
Zheng Xifeng walked forward slowly step by step.
He Changgeng walked side by side with him, while Huangfu Feng walked in the dark, ten meters away from the two of them.
The two of them, one in the open and one in the dark, took the enemy by surprise.
He Changgeng was solemn and calm.
When he received this task, he did not take Li Chengkong seriously. After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was there.
What's more, Li Chengkong's martial arts skills had been abolished, making it easy for him to be captured.
Not wanting to capsize in the gutter, Li Chengkong luckily escaped. This Li Chengkong deserves attention, but he just likes to use tricks. If he really starts a fight, he is not a big threat.
He was about to take action, and his heart was filled with excitement and stimulation. His pair of warm and peaceful eyes gradually became bright and shining.
Zheng Xifeng turned his head and nodded slightly at him.
He Changgeng's eyes flashed with cold lightning, shooting out like arrows.
A figure was leaning behind a tree. The tree, which was as thick as a man's embrace, covered his body, leaving only the corners of his clothes exposed.
He rushed over without hesitation and slapped the tree.
No matter whether the other person is Li Chengkong or not, just give him a palm to seriously injure him first. At worst, if I make a mistake, I will just apologize.
When he was about to hit the tree, Li Chengkong suddenly swayed.
"Pop!" Under the force of the palm, a fist-sized hole appeared on the other side of the tree.
Li Chengkong was already three feet away and shouted, "Congratulations Changgeng!"
"Li Chengkong!" He Changgeng's eyes flashed coldly and he licked his lips as if he saw something delicious.
At this moment, he was like a completely different person from his usual gentle and elegant self.
Li Chengkong chuckled: "You didn't succeed in killing me last time, and you're still not willing to give up? Oh, there's another one in the dark, let's go together, sneaky disciples are hilarious!"
"What a jerk Li Chengkong!" Huangfu Feng floated from the woods to behind Li Chengkong and sneered, "You're quite courageous. You can still laugh when you're about to die!"
Li Chengkong said: "How about we make a deal?"
"Stop talking nonsense and prepare to die!" Huangfu Feng shot at him like an arrow.
He didn't give Li Chengkong any chance to play tricks and just killed him directly.
Li Chengkong hurriedly said: "You have been fooled!"
Huangfu Feng ignored him and slapped over with his black, iron-like palms.
Li Chengkong flashed into the air.
It folded once in the air, folded again, and folded again, turning five directions in total, and transformed into five figures, forming a plum blossom shape.
His body movements were so fast that they were dizzying, but he still maintained an elegant and graceful posture.
Zheng Xifeng hid behind a tree and watched, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Li Chengkong raised his voice and said, "Master Han! Han the Imperial Sword Master!"
"Hey!" Huangfu Feng sneered.
He Changgeng also shook his head and rushed towards Li Chengkong, but he was awe-inspiring in his heart: Li Chengkong's body skills are so superb!
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Han Pingchuan and Qin Tiannan floated out like two dark clouds and stood on the treetops.
"Stop it!" Han Pingchuan said coldly.
Li Chengkong's figure flashed.
Zheng Xifeng, who was hiding behind a tree, was startled. When he saw it was him, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at him unhappily.
Li Chengkong smiled and patted his shoulder.
Zheng Xifeng looked at him proudly.
He lured them in safely without revealing any flaws, and thought he had done a great job.
When He Changgeng and Huangfu Feng saw Han Pingchuan and Qin Tiannan appear, they stopped and stood there with their faces changing several times.
"Captain, Lord Han, we are just joking with Li Chengkong." The black color on He Changgeng's palms quickly faded away and returned to white. He clasped his fists and saluted, his expression gentle and elegant again.
"Yes, yes, we were just joking." Huangfu Feng nodded quickly.
"Killing a colleague is not a big mistake. I can avoid the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of living!" Han Pingchuan said slowly: "Let's go."
Qin Tiannan's face remained gloomy from beginning to end, and he did not utter a word.
"Thank you, Lord Han, Lord Qin." Li Chengkong pulled Zheng Xifeng out and bowed.
Han Pingchuan didn't look at him, but looked at Zheng Xifeng.
Zheng Xifeng's heart sank when he saw his expressionless gaze. He thought something was wrong and looked at Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong pondered and looked at him with twinkling eyes.
Zheng Xifeng was very panicked.
He thought of a possibility. Would Li Chengkong take advantage of the situation and trick him as well?
If Li Chengkong said that he was in cahoots with the two men, he would also be punished.
No matter how much one looks down upon the vegetable-growing eunuchs, they are still part of the Xiaoling Mausoleum after all. Even if one fails to kill a colleague, he will still be severely punished.
According to the rules he knew, even if he could escape death, his martial arts would at least be crippled, and he would be whipped with at least fifteen lashes, and if he didn't die, he would be disabled.
I have been rude to him and have offended him a lot. If he says something rude at this moment, I will be doomed!
Li Chengkong turned around and said respectfully, " Master , Master Qin, I also want to apologize."
"You want to plead guilty—?" Han Pingchuan looked unconvinced and snorted, "Tell me about it!"
"I threatened Zheng Xifeng and forced him to cooperate in attracting these two." Li Chengkong bowed and said, "Threaten him, and if he doesn't cooperate, kill him."
Han Pingchuan chuckled.
What kind of threat is this? It's just a harsh remark at best.
Qin Tiannan frowned and said, "Nonsense!"
Li Chengkong maintained a respectful look the entire time: "I just tried to scare him because I saw he was timid. Of course I had no intention of killing him."
" I hope so." Qin Tiannan snorted.
Han Pingchuan also reacted at this time.
Li Chengkong was a really cunning guy. He was obviously using the residual influence of his accidental killing of Zhou Wangchuan to threaten him.
The effect of verbal threats from someone who has killed someone is completely different from that from someone who has not killed anyone.
He glared at Li Chengkong coldly.
Li Chengkong bowed, acted respectful, and did not move.
