Chapter 28: Take the blame, return the favor, and beat him to death for me!
Before he finished speaking, a burly figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
He came before Sun Yu, picked up the green halberd stuck in the ground, and simultaneously used his sturdy body to shield Sun Yu behind him.
"Uncle! You're finally here!"
Seeing the newcomer, Li Ling'er, who was shielded behind Sun Yu, beamed with joy.
After nodding to Li Ling'er, Li Zhan patted Sun Yu's shoulder.
He subtly approved of his actions with his gaze while mildly scolding him.
"You brat, you actually dared to provoke a Spirit Elder in the forest relying on your Spirit Master cultivation, and now you've provoked a Spirit Ancestor here! Are you some kind of trouble magnet? But it doesn't matter, it's just a mere Spirit Elder and Spirit Ancestor. I can handle them for you!"
After speaking, the burly man Li Zhan revealed his five spirit rings: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Looking at the burly man opposite him and the five perfectly matched spirit rings at his feet, and hearing the burly man's scolding of the kid, Red Tooth was instantly dumbfounded.
Damn it, the other party actually had a Spirit King-level expert with optimal attribute matching as a protector, and those two good-for-nothings didn't even notice a thing! Damn it, I've really kicked an iron plate this time...
After silently observing the other party for a few moments, Red Tooth didn't hesitate at all and shouted loudly.
"Everyone scatter!"
The moment his voice fell, Red Tooth immediately ran towards the shadows of the alley.
The rest of his subordinates also immediately began to scatter and flee.
Looking at their swift escape, it seemed they had practiced it countless times to be able to flee so skillfully!
Clearly, they were often chased in their daily lives.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhan was also startled, then immediately unleashed a Spirit Ability, throwing his weapon in Red Tooth's direction.
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Forceful Strike!"
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of green light.
Li Zhan directly threw his Spirit with all his might towards the direction Red Tooth was fleeing.
"Damn it!"
"Fourth Spirit Ability: Serpent Fang Sky Rush!"
"Third Spirit Ability: Serpent Spirit Guard!"
Feeling the waves of killing intent from behind him, Red Tooth immediately activated his third and fourth spirit rings.
While releasing an offensive Spirit Ability to block that fatal strike, he also condensed a shield to guard behind him.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Serpent Fang Sky Rush, as expected, was directly pierced by the green halberd, just like before.
"Pfft!"
"Ah!!!!"
And after continuing to speed forward for a while, Red Tooth's Serpent Spirit Guard also failed to protect him; this halberd, after piercing through the Serpent Spirit Guard without any hindrance, directly severed Red Tooth's arm!
"Ah!!!"
As his arm was severed, intense pain surged into Red Tooth's brain, causing him to involuntarily let out a hoarse scream.
Glancing with the corner of his eye at his left arm, which had been cleanly severed and lay on the ground, Red Tooth gritted his teeth and continued to flee without looking back.
In the blink of an eye, Red Tooth disappeared into the night.
Aside from a pool of bright red blood and the slightly trembling arm, everything returned to normal.
The others had all vanished as well.
Seeing this, Li Zhan sighed helplessly.
"Damn it, I didn't expect this kid to run so decisively. Does this mercenary squad get chased often?! To run so decisively..."
Due to his niece being there, Li Zhan didn't dare to pursue them...
However, Li Zhan didn't think too much about it; as long as he saved them, that was good. As for the rest, let that kid worry about it himself!
"Senior, thank you for saving my life!"
Sun Yu cupped his hands and said to Li Zhan.
"You don't need to thank me. You saved my niece twice, I saved you once, and I also helped you explain the matter of you killing a Spirit Elder. So, we're even now..."
Li Zhan waved his hand.
Hearing this, Sun Yu finally understood why this senior had said those words to him earlier; it was to take the blame for him!
Thinking about it, if there had been a Spirit King present at that time, the matter of him killing a Spirit Elder could have been logically pushed onto him!
It seems he was still too impulsive...
In order to save someone, he didn't think many things through carefully.
"Alright, girl, you've played for so long, you should be tired of playing. Come back with me to face the punishment for not completing your assessment!"
Li Zhan looked at Li Ling'er and said to her.
Listening to Li Zhan's words, the smile on Li Ling'er's face immediately turned bitter.
It's over, she's definitely going to be nagged to death by her aunt and Old Ma when she gets back.
After a simple tidy-up, the four of them found another inn to stay at.
After all, it was late, so it was better to rest for a night before leaving!
Meanwhile, Red Tooth, who had managed to escape back to his base camp after much difficulty, was currently having his wounds bandaged with the help of a healing Spirit Master and a physician.
And in front of Red Tooth, his three Spirit Elder subordinates were brutally beating the two Spirit Grandmasters who had given false reports.
Seeing their miserable screams, Red Tooth became even more furious.
"Beat them for me, beat them hard! Damn these two good-for-nothings, they didn't even know that person had a Spirit King-level protector, and they talked nonsense to me about a Spirit Master beating a Spirit Elder to death with one blow?!
Damn it, I actually believed your evil, I actually believed your ghost stories and believed the ridiculous news that a Spirit Master could kill a Spirit Elder!"
"Leader, we really didn't know he had a Spirit King protector behind him! We were scared silly at the time, we didn't notice all that! Stop hitting us, stop hitting us...."
"Stop hitting?! Damn it, just hitting you two isn't enough to quell my anger! You two good-for-nothings, because of you, not only am I so severely injured!
You also made me offend a Spirit King-level expert.
Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! Beat them for me, beat them hard! Beat them so they can't get out of bed for several months!"
"Leader, mercy, mercy!"
However, their miserable cries were useless; the three Spirit Elders still dragged them away without a care!
"Big Brother, what do we do next?"
"What do we do? We do what we have to do. This loss, besides swallowing it, can I really go back and retaliate against them? They have a Spirit King guard.
That means their family at least has a Spirit Saint-level expert. Am I going to fight a Spirit Saint with my head?! Damn it, a Spirit Master killing a Spirit Elder, I was truly fooled by their evil at the time, I actually believed their words...."
Red Tooth said, full of indignation.
When Red Tooth saw Li Zhan appear, he knew that it wasn't some genius at all, but merely someone helping from behind.
A Spirit King's attack, instantly killing a Spirit Elder, was a simple matter.
Perhaps those two terrified Spirit Grandmasters weren't even worth killing in his eyes.
Otherwise, they might not have escaped that guy's halberd either.
