Chapter 452 - To Kill King of Three (III)

Shi Qingzhou replied lightly, “Yes. What’s up?”

Long Xiaoyuan grabbed Shi Qingzhou’s arm and pulled him in his arms. He wrapped Shi Qingzhou from behind.

Shi Qingzhou looked at his hands. “What are you doing?”

Long Xiaoyuan sighed sadly. “I want to hug you before you leave.”

Shi Qingzhou fell silent.

Long Xiaoyuan gently kissed his ear. “Qingzhou, I have to tell you that although I agree to let you go, you have to be careful. Don’t do anything too dangerous. Also, don’t force yourself.”

Shi Qingzhou gazed at him and nodded.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “You were very upset when I was unconscious, so I’m very sorry. Therefore, you have to know that if anything happens to you, I will be devastated. Qingzhou, you don’t want to upset me, right?”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “I got it.”

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his mouth. “Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded and said seriously. “Okay, I’ll be back.”

At night, when Shi Qingzhou set off, Long Xiaoyuan lay on bed instead of seeing him off.

Of course, he couldn’t sleep, but he didn’t want to put pressure and burden on Shi Qingzhou.

While Long Xiaoyuan was worried, Shi Qingzhou, Ying Qiu, the old man, Ouyang Chuan and Liu Suifeng had entered the valley.

The path was thorny. It took excellent lightness techniques to go through it. The path was well hidden, but it did not lead directly into the valley, and they could only reach the outside of the valley. They had to do something if they wanted to enter the valley.

Therefore, this path was seldom travelled.

The five of them came to the end of the thorny path and arrived at the outside of the valley.

Shi Qingzhou said softly, “To enter the valley, we have to make a tunnel of the mountain here.”

“It’s not thick. It should be fine to make a hole,” Ouyang Chuan said.

Liu Suifeng also nodded. “Keep the noise down.”

They were fast.

Soon they reached the thinnest mountain.

They knew the terrain well because Shi Qingshan’s troops had travelled here before King of Three occupied the valley, and they had a detailed map.

Otherwise, it would not have gone so smoothly.

It was not difficult for them to make a tunnel for a man to pass.

It was easy to control the noise if they paid attention when they used their internal strength.

Just like that, they sneaked in the valley.

However, they encountered a device the moment they entered.

If the old man hadn’t stopped him, Ouyang Chuan would have been hit.

“This is an eight-diagram formation with an arrow buried below. If you step on it, the arrow will shoot out. You can dodge it in time, but you will be exposed.”

They stopped, and Shi Qingzhou asked, “Then how should we go through it?”

The old man took out a package from the space in front of his chest.

He took out a palm-sized plate from the package.

If Long Xiaoyuan had been there, he would have found the needle on the plate was very similar to that of the compass.

People thought alike everywhere!

The old man adjusted the plate in his hand and then squatted down.

He fiddled with the plate for a while before he took out a silver thread.

“Let’s go. You follow my footsteps. I walked in the front.”

Everyone was a martial arts master, so there was no problem at all.

The old man took every step slowly in the beginning, but he sped up very soon.

About several minutes, the old man stopped. “Okay. We are out of the formation.”

Liu Suifeng and Shi Qingzhou exchanged a glance, thinking that this old man was indeed capable.

Although Liu Suifeng had talked with the old man, he didn’t find much about him.

The old man was hot-tempered, and he was not interested in many things.

Therefore, they set off after Liu Suifeng felt the old man was capable.

However, he had not expected the old man to be so capable!

After that, Liu Suifeng continued to explore the way in the front.

However, this time the old man followed Liu Suifeng.

This way, if there was any problem, they could detect it in time.

After walking forward for a while, they heard people’s voices.

They hid in the dark and found that there were at least five hundred soldiers.

These soldiers surrounded a huge bonfire.

There were no tents, but this should be their resting place.

Shi Qingzhou looked at Liu Suifeng. “Do you have the knockout powder that could be scattered in the air?”

Liu Suifeng felt the wind. “We have to go over there. It’s feasible. However, King of Three is good at poison and medicine. He can detoxify them if he’s around.”

Shi Qingzhou sneered. “That depends on whether he has the time or not. He could hardly cover his own ass.”

Liu Suifeng didn’t say anything else.

They went in the direction Liu Suifeng signaled.

At night, even though there was a bonfire, they were not exposed.

There were patrols, but they didn’t find Shi Qingzhou and the others.

Therefore, they managed to reach a favorable position, and then Liu Suifeng tossed a handful of powder to the air.

“Some people might not be hit by the powder and they will intend to send a signal. We need to stop these people first. Let’s split up,” Liu Suifeng said.

Shi Qingzhou spoke lightly. “Those are rebels, so kill them if they are awake.”

Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were shocked, but neither of them objected.

Even the old man didn’t say anything.

They all understood that if the enemy sent out a signal, they would be exposed.

Men were selfish, and they naturally chose to survive at the cost of enemies’ death.

These soldiers were not their family, their lovers, or their friends.

And Ying Qiu, of course, would only listen to the order from Shi Qingzhou.

The powder flew to the soldiers, and Shi Qingzhou acted at Liu Suifeng’s signal.

Few people were awake, and they were just barely awake.

Those who wanted to send the signal were killed by Shi Qingzhou and the others.

Shi Qingzhou asked, “How long will they remain unconscious?”

“If no one comes to detoxify them, they will remain unconscious for at least ten hours.”

Ten hours was enough.

Shi Qingzhou said, “Check again and see who will wake up early.”

Liu Suifeng nodded and quickly checked on the hundreds of people.

He actually found two people pretending to be unconscious.

Therefore, he killed them.

After that, they continued the adventure.

It was almost dawn when Long Xiaoyuan fell asleep.

He woke up… four hours later. In modern times, it was probably around nine o’clock.

He had no appetite at all, but the Shadow Guardians had already served breakfast.

So he ate a little.

He slowly walked towards the valley.

“The sun is up. Is there any news from the valley?”

The Shadow Guardians replied, “No.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought about it and went to see Shi Qingshan.

Shi Qingshan was waiting near the valley.

He was very worried about his son, who had entered the valley, so he was waiting to rush in at any time.

Shi Qingshan immediately saluted when he saw Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. “General, do you see anything unusual in the valley?”

Shi Qingshan shook his head. “No.”

“Is it good or bad?”

“It’s good,” Shi Qingshan said with certainty, “this means that Qingzhou hasn’t failed yet.”

Long Xiaoyuan frowned. “But it’s morning now.”

“So we will know about it soon.”

When Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingshan were talking, Shi Qingzhou had successfully taken down the troop of more than four thousand soldiers and he made it in front of King of Three.

Liu Suifeng was using drugs on the remaining several hundred soldiers.

However, they had been discovered. They were now fighting with King of Three.

Liu Suifeng used drugs, and he gave Shi Qingzhou and the others a lot to attack the enemies.

Now they were using poison instead of knockout drugs.

As they moved forward, they scattered a large amount of poison. Many soldiers fell.

Even the old man did the same.

Although King of Three was good at poison, he did not have the time as Shi Qingzhou said.

Besides, the poison was not easy to detoxify in short time.

Therefore, the remaining hundreds of soldiers fell.

Shi Qingzhou and the others killed them like devils from the hell.

Some soldiers attempted to escape in fear.

But all of them were strangled by King of Three.

King of Three did not move, watching Shi Qingzhou approach.

Finally, Shi Qingzhou and the others killed all the remaining soldiers.

At last they met King of Three.

“King of Three?” Shi Qingzhou sneered. “You look like a stray dog. Why don’t you call yourself Dog instead of King of Three?”

King of Three was angry, looking at Shi Qingzhou coldly with a dark face.

Shi Qingzhou sneered again. “What are you looking at? Are you angry? Come and fight. Don’t just stand there and do nothing. In short, even if you become a dog today, you can’t escape!”

The Third King took a deep breath. “Wu Xiangyuan, come out.”

Suddenly, a little girl emerged from behind King of Three.

She was only six or seven years old, but her face was rotten as well as her body. Her eyes were gone, and she looked like a zombie.

If Long Xiaoyuan had been there, he would have been very surprised. When he last saw her, there were only grey marks on her face, which now was rotten completely.

If Wu Ronghan had been alive, he would have been heartbroken. His sacrifice was in vain.

Human was no rival of death.

To go against the natural rule was not that simple.

Liu Suifeng also sneered. “King of Three, or Dog of Three, are you crazy? Knowing that you can’t defeat us alone, you actually send such a little girl? And she’s half-dead. Don’t you feel ashamed?”

King of Three snorted, not bothering to waste his breath with them. He gave the order directly. “Kill them!”

The little girl quickly rushed towards Shi Qingzhou and the others.

Liu Suifeng stepped up and attacked her. After a while, he said, “This child is covered in corpse poison. The antidote I gave you might not work. You guys go deal with King of Three.”

Ouyang Chuan was worried about Liu Suifeng, but he didn’t say anything and rushed to King of Three first.

Shi Qingzhou rushed directly to King of Three as well.

King of Three had two powerful subordinates, who were fighting with Ying Qiu and the old man.

The old man fought with all his might.

Now that everyone had their own opponents, no one could protect him, so he had to fight on his own.

There was only one thought on Shi Qingzhou’s mind. King of Three must die.

Therefore, Shi Qingzhou made deadly moves when he attacked King of Three, and Ouyang Chuan worked with him.

Ouyang Chuan hated King of Three as well.

If it weren’t for this man, he would not have hurt and betrayed his friends!

Both of them were fighting fiercely.

Although King of Three had some poison on him, it wasn’t the corpse poison on the little girl. The simple poison couldn’t work on Shi Qingzhou and the others who had taken Liu Suifeng’s special antidote.

King of Three began to retreat.

Shi Qingzhou took the opportunity to pierce his thigh with the sword.

He stabbed his leg to stop him from running away.

King of Three got ferocious after he was injured. He ignored Ouyang Chuan and just attacked Shi Qingzhou.

“You are the love of the Emperor, right? Are you the Empress? Today I’ll die with you, and I think the Emperor will be happy! ”

As he said, King of Three made more deadly moves.

Ouyang Chuan wanted Shi Qingzhou to stay away. However, Shi Qingzhou attacked King of Three more fiercely.

Shi Qingzhou was soon injured, and his shoulder was stabbed.

“Shi Qingzhou!” Ouyang Chuan exclaimed.
