"What happened in the end?" Li Kezhou and the woman asked in unison.
"In the end, there were heavy casualties! But don't worry, the leader is not dead, but she was seriously injured. I didn't take things well and forcibly took her to escape. I have put her in a safe place. She is currently in the hospital.
Healing, as for other people, I'm afraid the worst is worse."
"Because when I came back to check, there were already corpses everywhere. No one from the Nine Snakes or myself, including the Flame Red Lotus, was missing. Of course, it's possible that they escaped."
Li Kezhou's heart sank when he heard this.
Escape? It can't be that easy. Facing a great swordsman, all the Nine Snakes will be wiped out, not to mention that there was more than one at that time.
(Abandoned the oath and bewitched everyone. What method did he use to bewitch everyone? Could it be...)
Li Kezhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because if it was not what he expected, the most tempting temptation could only involve interests, and what could seduce the great swordsman would probably be the untold secret of the Nine Snakes, that is, the Nine Snakes.
Emperor Snake.
Zhiye has the ability to sacrifice to the Heavenly Snake. With this irreplaceable effect, he is more likely to be captured and less likely to die.
Of course! Other Nine Snakes apostles may not have such good luck.
(I wonder where Zhiye was kidnapped?)
Li Kezhou was secretly anxious.
The woman on the side showed an expression of relief when she heard that Hong Lian was not dead: "Quick! Take me there, I have a treasure for healing."
Under the leadership of the traveler, the two people left in a hurry.
"Friend! I have long said that you and I hit it off like old friends. Now you seem to be in a little trouble. Do you need my help? There is nothing I can't solve in this prison." It was the butcher who spoke.
Li Kezhou pondered for a moment and nodded: "I not only need your help, but also the help of both of you."
He looked at the old man and the man whose eyes widened when he saw money before.
Both of them are great swordsmen. If he wants to save Zhiye, he obviously can't do it alone.
"Don't worry, do me this favor. According to the rules, I will pay you magic stones, no doubt, ten thousand! The magic stones that belong to you will return to your pockets again."
The three of them looked at each other with ecstasy in their eyes.
It's not like they haven't been hired before, but the price is only 500 pieces at a time, and if they are lucky, they can't exceed 1,000. Now that they heard that they were asked to take action for 10,000 magic stones, there was no reason to refuse.
"It's great! I'll take this job. Tell me, how do you do it?" The man, who was excited about the money, was the first to agree.
Li Kezhou's eyes became distant: "Before we take action, we have to return to Guifu Yicheng."
The way back is far easier than when we came here. The four people's fighting strength is not afraid of any wanderers. Moreover, this road has been swept by people one after another, and the Fusha Demon has also been taken away, so it is calm all the way.
Half a day later.
The turtle moves the city.
The first thing Li Kezhou did when he entered the city was to leave a message at the place where he was selling information: He had three hundred thousand souls in his hands.
He believed that as long as the people who kidnapped Zhi Ye heard the news, the three hundred thousand souls would become an irresistible temptation for those who were eager to sacrifice the Heavenly Serpent and gain powerful power.
All you need to do is lure the snake out of its hole, and everything that follows will be solved.
As expected, the middleman came to him early the next morning and said that someone urgently needed the 300,000 souls in his hands, and the price could be discussed in detail.
A place was arranged outside the city, and Li Kezhou went to the meeting alone.
A hump-shaped sand dune area.
There is one person coming from each direction in the north and south directions.
"Why are you?" The speaker was a tall and thin man like a bamboo pole.
Li Kezhou smiled: "Very good! It seems that you know me, which means that that day, in front of the bloody sand, you were one of the ten thousand people."
The bamboo pole man's face darkened: "I know! You tricked me and led me here in order to know the whereabouts of your Nine Snakes leader Zhi Ye."
"You guessed it right!" Li Kezhou's voice already had murderous intent.
"You reckless bitch! How dare you come to see me on your own? In this case, I will reluctantly send you on your way."
A spear appeared in this man's hand.
"This spear is called Killing Life. I kill people and like to count. You are the 9,500 lives I have harvested, which just makes up an integer." The man with the bamboo pole smiled grimly.
"Really? Maybe you will die under your own spear and use your own life to make up this whole number." Li Kezhou's ancient sword with dragon patterns appeared in his hand.
"I know you fought off that idiot King Snake, but I'm not him, so you must die."
The man pointed his spear, like a brave general among thousands of horses, charging with an unstoppable momentum, and stabbed the person opposite him who he thought he must kill.
"boom!!!"
The hump-like 100-foot sand dune was flattened by a violent force. Yellow sand rose into the sky, and two figures among them were faintly visible.
One person stood with his sword tilted, while the other kneeled on one knee, holding a spear broken into two pieces.
The man with the bamboo pole looked frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, and stared at the man walking towards him step by step.
"Impossible! You... are only in the late stage of transcendence. How could you possibly hurt me? Even if you are the supreme powerhouse, you only have the fighting power to compete with the great powerhouses. It is impossible to defeat me with one sword!"
The man was so shocked that he lost his mind and spoke bluntly like a demon.
Li Kezhou walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly: "I never give people two chances. You know what I want to ask. Just tell me..."
The man's face changed several times, and finally he smiled miserably: "No one else can get the opportunity that I don't have, okay! I'll tell you where they are..."
Li Kezhou walked away on the yellow sand.
The man had two broken spears stuck in his body, and the broken spears pierced his body. The expression on this man's face was fixed in regret and unwillingness.
Li Kezhou fulfilled his promise and let him die under his own spear, using his own life to save 9,500 lives.
"Let's go! When things are done, I won't miss you ten thousand magic stones."
There was no one around, Li Kezhou said as if talking to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, three people jumped out of a hidden bunker.
The three of them looked at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Only the three of them witnessed the brief battle between Li Kezhou and that man just now, so only the three of them understood how terrifying and incredible the strength of the man in front of them was.
"Fortunately I didn't listen to your idiot's instigation." The butcher chased after him with a chopping knife.
Seeing the money, the man secretly wiped his forehead.
He had previously proposed that the three of them join forces to assassinate Li Kezhou and then share the man's magic stones equally, but he was opposed by the butcher.
Now, this thought in his mind has been completely extinguished in his heart. The sword strike just now has become a lingering shadow in his life.
The old man who was walking with him looked at Li Kezhou in the distance and said to himself: "It won't be long before he is the tenth generation hunting god of the Wild Prison, and he will be the strongest one in history."
