Who was Li Qingniu? How come I've never heard of him?

As the head of one of the three great merchant guilds in Qingyang City, he felt that he had a lot of experience and knew a bit about the common folk of the big families in the city, especially the Fighter.

However, he had never heard of this Li Qingniu who could defeat the Man in Black.

Small... I don't know where he came from, I only know that he is related to the Gu family. This time, it is because of Miss Gu that Young Master went to challenge Li Qingniu.

Damn Gu Lin, I didn't look for you, but you actually dared to provoke me first.

When his follower informed Li Qingniu that he had left the Qingyang City and was nowhere to be found, a trace of malevolence and craftiness appeared on Mo Cheng's cold face.

At first, Gu's Merchant Group was the first and only merchant guild in the world, but later on, even though there were also some small merchant guilds that followed suit and were established, regardless of size or influence, it did not develop.

Until the moment when their Gu's were heavily damaged, only then did the other two great merchant guilds take advantage of the situation and form a three-legged situation with their Gu's.

Mohist was one of them. Although it wasn't established as long ago as the Gu's, it was created through a mysterious backing, and was developed to this day. Its influence also wasn't inferior to the Gu family.

Mo Cheng was also an extremely ambitious person and had the thought of swallowing the other two clans and monopolizing their Qingyang City. For this reason, he had been planning in secret since a long time ago.

According to his original plan, in at most another ten years, he would be able to successfully swallow the other two great merchant guilds. However, the death of his only beloved son had caused him to have no patience to wait any longer. He would use the destruction of the Gu family to pay tribute to his son.

He was confident that with the many years of planning, annexing two families would be impossible. However, it would be more than enough to deal with the Gu family, who was suffering internal and external troubles.

The Gu Chengmu betrayal earlier was actually instigated by him from behind the scenes, and it was also the black-robed Fighter he invited for Gu Chengmu. Whether it was prestige or abilities, Gu Chengmu was far inferior to him. After letting Gu Chengmu succeed, annexing the Gu Family would be as easy as flipping a hand.

Everything he had planned was flawless, but he never thought that Gu Chengmu would fail, moreover, it was a complete failure. His Gu's was barely damaged, and he even helped the Gu Family uncover a hidden danger from the side.

I don't believe that you will always have such good luck. Mo Cheng's palm and fist collided as he spoke sinisterly.

Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Li Qingniu found a cave, picked up some firewood, and planned to spend the night inside the cave.

Where is Master now? Did you find the person he was looking for? Li Qingniu thought as he raised his head and looked towards the starry sky outside the cave.

The luxuriant stars filled the sky, and the twinkling stars were like dazzling pearls.

Don't worry, his ability is extraordinary. In this world, there are very few people who can be his match.

Cough cough, you can know everything that's on my mind, this … Not so good? Li Qingniu said as he awkwardly coughed twice.

The Sword Spirit laughed and said: What, you're afraid that I would see your privacy, don't worry, I won't tell anyone your secret. But you did well today.

That sword was crisp and clean without the slightest hesitation. Originally, I thought that you would not be able to kill me.

Those who want to kill someone, they should be prepared to be killed. I have lightly trusted others, so I wouldn't have made the same mistake as before. Otherwise, I would have let down the Grandma Long's teachings.

When you fell into the trap, I didn't remind you nor did I help you. You didn't ask me why?

Li Qingniu shook his head lightly, and laughed: "Master said that the path of cultivation is filled with difficulties. Only by relying on my continuous life or death experiences, will I be able to comprehend cultivation, and become a strong person. You didn't help me because you wanted to train me too, and you know that I don't need help in a crisis like that.

Yes, to be able to realize this, it seems that you have indeed improved quite a bit. If you can't even defeat such a weak opponent, how can you become my master? Hahahaha... Someone was approaching!

The Sword Spirit's complacent laughter suddenly came out, and her voice sounded a reminder.

Li Qingniu immediately waved his hand, using his palm strength to extinguish the flames, he listened quietly and confirmed that there was more than one person coming. These people were walking in a hurry, as though they were in a hurry.

Miss, how are you? If you can't run, we'll find a place to rest. A large man with a slightly out of breath said.

Uncle Fang, I'm fine. I don't know when those villains will chase over, I … I can still hold on, but your injury … A woman's voice that was a little more out of breath followed him.

The woman's voice was delicate. Although she was tired of running away, her words were like the singing of a bird.

What a sweet voice. It seems to be a beauty. The Sword Spirit's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Why did you come out again? Li Qingniu shook his head and sighed.

Sword Spirit Ha Ha! Laughing, he said, "I came to tell my master that the one chasing after them is a weak bird. It's up to you whether you want to fight or not."

You won't be able to escape! Just at this moment, a stern shout sounded from afar.

The shout came from far away, but when it came out, the pursuer was already close by. His speed was as fast as a gust of wind.

Miss, quickly leave, I will stop him. The man who was previously called Uncle Fang held the little miss who she was talking about behind him with one hand and raised the blade in front of his chest with the other to block the person who was chasing after her.

Fang Tong, if I wanted to kill you, just one move is enough. I let you off just now because I wanted to play with you.

Don't even think about it! Unless I die, Miss.

Uncle Fang, don't worry about me. Go, the person he wants to capture is me.

"No, I have received great kindness from the young mistress, how can I …"

You are no match for him, even if you die fighting for me, you can't change the outcome.

From the voice, the woman didn't seem to be very old, and should be around Li Qingniu's age. However, from the tone of his voice and the calmness of his judgement, she seemed to be extremely mature and steady.

There were also three to four attendants accompanying her. The woman glanced at a few people, and then said to them: "They are all my father's old clan. They have lived and died with my father for many years.

Miss …

No, we won't leave. Unless we die, we definitely won't let him touch a single hair on the young lady's head.

Hahahaha, since you want to die so much, I'll grant you all that wish.

The moment his voice fell, it was followed by a sharp screech. A few black eagles suddenly flew out from nowhere. Their scarlet eyes flashed as they let out shrill screeches and attacked the few people in front of them.

Puff puff puff puff …

With a Puff sound, several eagle's bodies were penetrated by some unknown object. They all landed on the ground and disappeared in an instant.

When he looked at the ground again, all that was left was a pitch-black charcoal-like object.

Hm? Who would cause trouble!

If I'm not wrong, you should be a Six Stars Fighter, right?

Who are you? Since you know of my strength and still dare to spoil my plans, are you tired of living? The man said, as his gaze moved to Li Qingniu who was walking over.

I also noticed that they are all just ordinary Fighter and that this Uncle Fang is only a four star master teacher. Aren't you shy from making things difficult for a bunch of weaklings?

As for my matters, it's not up to a Hair-raising Boy like you to ask.

The moment the person finished speaking, his arms shook and he let out a loud shout. Following which, countless sharp cries split the silence of the world.

Countless of eagles, which were like sharp swords, surrounded Li Qingniu from all directions.

Gongzi be careful, this is his martial spirit, 'Eagle Peck'. Every eagle's beak and talons are poisonous and should not be harmed by it.

The girl on the side reminded her worriedly.

Since this is a rare opportunity, all of you will immediately bring the young miss away. Fang Tong said to a few of his followers.

This won't do, that young master got involved because of us, how can we turn our backs on him and ignore his life and death?

However …

Before the argument was over, a golden light suddenly illuminated the entire night sky, causing everyone present to feel pain in their eyes.

What did you do? The Six Stars Fighter could not believe everything that was happening before him, and he cried out in shock.

He had originally thought that thirty to forty percent of his power was more than enough to deal with this Hair-raising Boy. However, he was only able to use eighty percent of his power because he was angry at Hair-raising Boy for being so meddlesome and being so rude.

However, he had never expected that the other party would destroy all the goshawks in an instant with just one attack.

The girl said that your falcon was poisonous and told me not to touch it, so I used my sword to wipe them out.

Sword? Where is it? I didn't see any sword.

You're so weak, of course you can't see it.

I'm weak? Fine, I'll let you witness my true strength, 'Eagle Scare'.

After the Six Stars Fighter said this, he raised his sword above his head and started chanting. At the same time, an incomparably large Green Hawk totem rose from behind him.

The only difference was that this huge eagle totem didn't attack anyone, but only flew towards the sky.

Not good. Seeing this, Fang Tong shouted, "Everyone, cover your ears!"

As the cry echoed through the air, the eagle flapped its wings and hovered in the air.

He suddenly looked down and let out a shrill cry that was a hundred times louder than the previous cries of the eagles.

It pierced into the eardrums of the people below, causing a series of buzzing sounds that shocked everyone.

Although Fang Tong had everyone block their ears in time, it was obvious that he could not block the piercing power of the shrill cry.

The group of people fell to the ground in pain. They covered their heads with their hands and wished that they were dead.

Although Li Qingniu did not seem to be affected, he still felt the whistling in his ears, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, as if it was affected by the hissing sound, his communication with the Sword Spirit was actually interrupted.

Previously, the reason why he was able to say out the stars of his opponent and Fang Gang without going through any probing was actually because the Sword Spirit found out and told him. But now there was only the buzzing in his head.

Without the Sword Spirit's guidance, he could only rely on Li Qingniu's own judgement to break the other party's strange technique.
