He Xiping was a magician, skilled at deception but not at fighting. After being tricked once, Jiang Cheng'an and Lu Kui no longer fell for He Xiping's schemes.
With hearts full of rage, the two quickly arrived before He Xiping!
Lu Kui's wooden puppet kicked He Xiping directly in the stomach, sending him flying several meters, almost crashing into Zhao Yiyao behind him.
Jiang Cheng'an glanced and remarked, "The two behind you also have extraordinary backgrounds; one makes paper figures, the other is a spirit medium... Who exactly are you?" Da Feng Novel Network
He Xiping gritted his teeth in pain and did not answer. Kang Jinlong, however, seemed to realize something and his eyes widened:
"You are companions of Yan Chou's son!"
Previously, when Kang Jinlong encountered Yan Shouyi, he recognized him. The reason he didn't attack was his concern that if he got entangled, the dog Taoist and others behind them would quickly catch up.
But the situation was different now. If they captured He Xiping and the others as hostages, they could threaten Yan Chou and his group!
Thus, Kang Jinlong immediately gave the order: "Capture all three of them alive!"
Upon receiving the order, Lu Kui acted, moving to grab He Xiping from behind.
At this moment, He Xiping, severely injured, had no strength left to struggle and could only watch helplessly as Lu Kui made his move.
However, just as Lu Kui was about to grab He Xiping, the wooden puppet before him let out a scream. Its body straightened unnaturally, and its hands thrashed wildly!
"Lu Kui, what are you doing?!" the clueless Jiang Cheng'an shouted.
The next second, the puppet fell straight to the ground.
Simultaneously, A Gong opened his eyes and said with a cold smile, "We found you."
In a hidden mountain cave on the mountainside of Longhu Mountain, A Gong's paper figure had forcibly extracted a man's heart!
This man was Lu Kui's true body!
Lu Kui was controlling the blade-arm puppet remotely. When A Gong killed his true body, the puppet naturally lost control!
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng'an's face changed drastically!
Because his true body was beside Lu Kui, A Gong finding Lu Kui meant they had also found his true body!
Before Jiang Cheng'an could react, he also felt a piercing pain, but he didn't even have time to scream. The shadow puppet on the ground vanished!
In the cave, Huang Si Pi spat out a human head and said coldly, "This guy's blood is too foul, it's tainted my mouth!"
At the same time, Zhao Yiyao, at the exit of the dungeon, also opened her eyes.
The two of them had succeeded!
He Xiping was incredibly excited: "You did it!"
Kang Jinlong, however, was furious.
It was one thing to have lost the White Tiger Seven Mansions to Yan Chou previously; after all, Yan Chou and his group were powerful, and dying at their hands was not an injustice.
But Jiang Cheng'an and Lu Kui, as part of the Black Tortoise Seven Mansions, had died at the hands of two juniors!
If this were to spread, it would be an utter disgrace!
And this did not even include He Zhi Jing and Chen Tang, who had died outside earlier!
Kang Jinlong felt that if he didn't kill a few people today, he would have no face to remain in the New Xuan Mountain Sect!
"A bunch of lowly rascals, how dare you!"
Kang Jinlong took out his wooden stake and charged towards He Xiping and the other two!
A Gong and Zhao Yiyao came back to their senses, realizing the danger had not passed, and immediately entered a state of alert again!
However, Huang Si Pi had not returned, and He Xiping was heavily injured. With A Gong alone, it was impossible to stop Kang Jinlong!
Just as Kang Jinlong was about to reach A Gong, a yellow shadow suddenly flashed past and tackled Kang Jinlong to the ground!
It was Da Huang!
Da Huang bared its teeth and tore at Kang Jinlong. Kang Jinlong, recovering, also showed no mercy, using his wooden stake to stab several bloody holes in Da Huang.
In pain, Da Huang loosened its grip, allowing Kang Jinlong to escape!
Miraculously, the wounds on Da Huang's body began to heal at a visible speed!
At this moment, the dog Taoist and the Miao Ji martial monk also arrived.
Without a word, the two of them charged into the crowd, killing indiscriminately!
Those Kang Jinlong had brought were basically hardened criminals. Longhu Mountain was merciful and wanted to give them a chance to repent, but the dog Taoist and the Miao Ji martial monk were less particular!
Since you've come here, then go to hell!
The appearance of the two was like wolves entering a sheep pen. The villains who were powerful outside were now like lambs to the slaughter before them.
Kang Jinlong's deterrence was gone, and everyone scattered in panic.
Seeing this, Kang Jinlong was enraged: "Dog Taoist, dead bald donkey, you are truly persistent, never-ending, aren't you!!"
The dog Taoist stopped his actions and smiled at Kang Jinlong: "Old acquaintances meeting, there must be some gesture. It's just that I came in a hurry and didn't bring a gift... How about I take your head as a gift for you!"
"You scoundrel!"
Kang Jinlong seemed unwilling to acknowledge the dog Taoist as an "old acquaintance" and raised his wooden stake to strike.
But to his surprise, Yan Chou and Yan Shouyi also arrived!
Yan Chou directly blocked Kang Jinlong's path and said coldly, "You have nowhere left to retreat. Surrender, don't force me to turn hostile."
Seeing Yan Chou, Kang Jinlong surprisingly calmed down.
He put down his wooden stake, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, but he did not make a move for a while.
Yan Shouyi seized the opportunity to approach He Xiping and the others. Seeing the fallen wooden puppets on the ground, he knew that A Gong and the others had succeeded.
"Are you alright?" Yan Shouyi asked with concern.
"Only Old He is injured," A Gong replied.
"I'm fine!" He Xiping gritted out.
Zhao Yiyao asked, "What about the others?"
"They are all safe, you can rest assured."
Yan Shouyi took out a pill refined by Old Jin from the Eastern King Gourd and gave it to He Xiping to swallow. Then he said, "That person is my father, and the other two are my uncles. With them here, Kang Jinlong and his group won't be able to escape this time!"
The three were greatly astonished.
Zhao Yiyao asked, "Your father was also locked up in the Longhu Mountain dungeon?!"
Yan Shouyi coughed twice: "It's not like that... I'll explain this to you later. Let's deal with Kang Jinlong first!"
At this moment, Kang Jinlong did not act rashly, and the dog Taoist and the Miao Ji martial monk also stopped their movements. The two sides were in a stalemate.
It seemed everyone was waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between Yan Chou and Kang Jinlong.
Yan Shouyi had also noticed that his father and Kang Jinlong seemed to know each other, and their relationship might have been quite good.
Otherwise, given his father's and the others' personalities, they would never have gone easy on bad guys; if they had encountered Kang Jinlong just now, they probably wouldn't have given him a chance and would have killed him directly!
Kang Jinlong's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes seemed filled with struggle.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect we'd reach this point, Senior Brother."
Senior Brother?!
Yan Shouyi was shocked.
If Kang Jinlong called his father Senior Brother, wouldn't that mean he—was also a descendant of Lu Ban?!
Kang Jinlong was actually a descendant of Lu Ban!!
