Chapter 48: Ruthless King Yonggui

  Starting from today, I will update three times a day, with 2,000 words per update. Don't call me the 2K Party, haha.

  The hillside was covered with gravel and shrubs. Li Wenjun had just passed through a clump of shrubs when he stepped on a stone, which rolled down the steep slope with a rumbling sound.

  In the quiet valley, the sound of mountain rocks hitting the slope suddenly rang out, like the morning bell and evening drum, ringing in Li Wenjun's ears, he was startled and stopped in his tracks.

  Recalling the fireworks from yesterday, Li Wenjun realized he still couldn't let his guard down. He grasped the hunting spear tightly in his hand and stretched it out in front of him, tapping and poking at the path ahead to confirm there were no dangers before proceeding forward.

  Whether it was Sun Baicao or Wang Liehu, they had all told him how to set traps in the mountains. Some of the skillfully set traps could even kill a powerful bear, and if Li Wenjun guessed correctly, he would definitely suffer greatly.

  As he walked halfway up the mountain, his hunting spear suddenly probed into a thicket of shrubs. Suddenly, with a loud "thwack", the sound of the bowstring tightening rang out, and Li Wenjun felt something heavy hit his hunting spear.

  Li Wenjun retrieved the hunting spear from the bush, and was shocked to find an additional animal trap on it. The trap not only had sharp teeth but also emitted a faint blue glow on its surface, as if someone had applied a deadly poison to it.

  Li Wenjun looked at the trap with a serious expression. This place was far away from the village, and according to his estimate, it was at least 100 miles away from the mountain edge. Hunters wouldn't easily come to such a remote place, let alone set traps, and even less likely to apply poison to the traps. There must be something fishy going on here.

  Li Wenjun glanced at the place where the green smoke rose yesterday, and sneered. With just this trick, he was like scaring him away. He really underestimated Li Wenjun.

  Li Wenjun found two handfuls of dry grass, wrapped around the animal trap, preparing to remove it from the hunting hook. Just as he bent down and grabbed the animal trap, he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind him, and when he turned his head, he was startled.

  All he saw was a giant boulder, at least half the height of a man, rolling down the mountain path towards him with a loud rumble. The rock weighed at least a thousand catties and was moving at an incredible speed, and even if it just grazed him, it would be enough to break his bones.

  Li Wenjun didn't have time to remove the animal trap, he took a deep breath and jumped up, his toes tapping on the rolling boulder, ready to land on the mountain slope.

  Just then, a feathered arrow flew over from the top of the mountain and shot towards his chest. Li Wenjun's eyes suddenly widened, he could clearly see that the arrowhead also had a strong poison on it.

  Li Wenjun didn't have time to make any other moves, he drew out the mountain-opening knife from his waist, aimed at the poisonous arrow, swung the knife and heavily slapped it on top.

  The poisoned arrow veered off course and flew past Li Wenjun's side.

  Li Wenjun fell to the ground, his knife horizontal, staring at the mountain top, shouting: "Who?"

  On the mountain top, there was silence and no one answered his question.

  Li Wenjun employed his Light Body Skill, taking large strides, swift as a shooting star, and charged towards the mountain top. When he arrived at the mountaintop, however, he found that there was no one there.

  "Turtle, you run fast. Don't let me catch you, or I'll split you in two." Li Wenjun hurried back to cultivate and didn't want to waste time searching for people.

  Who would have thought that just as Li Wenjun was about to leave the mountain, another arrow was shot from behind his back with a "whooshing" sound.

  Li Wenjun's sword sliced through the poisoned cold arrow, and he gazed coldly at the source of the attack. "I was in a good mood and didn't want to bother with you," he said. "But since you're so eager, you can leave your dog head behind."

  Li Wenjun cautiously guarded himself while using his feet to pick up a few stones and threw them into the bush.

  The places around the mountain top that can be used for hiding are just a few, either shrubs or stones. The stone thrown by Li Wenjun was fast and powerful, and with just a few throws, someone let out a miserable cry.

  A shrub cluster shook, and a man covering his shoulder stood up from behind the shrubs. His eyes were like those of a wild beast, ferocious and cold-blooded, without any human emotions in them.

  "Grandfather hid in the mountains, but you still managed to chase me here. It seems that heaven has not allowed me to kill for many days, so it sent you to be my sacrifice. You young fellow, since you've encountered Grandfather Wang, consider yourself unlucky and come to meet your death."

  He said, taking a deep breath and leaping into the air, flying several zhang high, like an eagle swooping down on its prey. His hand held a steel knife, and before he even landed, it gave off an aura of invincibility.

  At the moment that man appeared, Li Wenjun had a feeling of seeing a ghost. He never thought that in this desolate mountain wilderness, he would actually meet Wang Yonggui, the notorious thief who had been wanted by the authorities for many years.

  Wang Yonggui is not a good person, with high martial arts skills and ruthless methods of killing people. Just like earlier, Li Wenjun encountered poisonous traps, falling rocks, and poisonous cold arrows, all of which were ingenious ways to take lives. If Li Wenjun didn't have some skill, he would have been invited by King Yanluo to drink tea long ago.

  Li Wenjun is a hedgehog, seemingly gentle and docile, but cannot be provoked. Once provoked, he will raise his sharp quills and pierce the invading enemy, causing them to bleed profusely.

  Rumors in the streets say that Wang Yonggui is a top-notch martial artist, and today, just by seeing his exceptional lightness skill, it's absolutely deserved to call him a top-notch master. No wonder the government officials have been suffering losses at his hands repeatedly. Unfortunately, this time, Wang Yonggui is destined to kick an iron plate.

  Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes, watching Wang Yonggui pounce through the air. When Wang reached the highest point, Li Wenjun's toes touched the ground and he sprang up with a whoosh. Before entering the mountain, he had not been in contact with Qing Shen Tui for a short time. After entering the mountain, he encountered all kinds of dangers, and Qing Shen Tui became one of his means of survival. Li Wenjun used it frequently, and it can be said that it was tested in actual combat. He also summed up many small skills in actual combat.

  At this time, he brought out these small tricks, accurately controlling the output of his law power. This time, he didn't fly to his extreme height, but landed exactly behind Wang Yonggui, and was half a body taller than Wang Yonggui.

  Wang Yonggui stared at Li Wenjun in shock. He had been roaming the rivers and lakes for many years, able to repeatedly kill people and easily escape afterwards, which was not unrelated to his extraordinary qigong skills. Wang Yonggui asked himself that his skills might not be the best in the world, but when it came to lightness kung fu, there were few who could surpass him.

  What's astonishing is that he hid in these Five Peak Mountains for nearly a few months, without encountering anyone. As a result, the first person he met was so formidable. He even surpassed him in his proud lightness kung fu skills.
