Chapter 50: Catching a Turtle in a Jar

  Li Wenjun almost made Wang Yonggui angry, the famous Jianghu, who made people hear the wind and lose their courage, also had such a deceitful time. How could he let Wang Yonggui escape as he pleased? He shook his hand and threw out the mountain-opening knife in his hand.

  Wang Yonggui turned around in mid-air, his strength was spent, and his reaction speed was a bit slow. He was also facing away from Li Wenjun, unable to timely parry the incoming flying knife.

  With a thud, the half-moon knife was fiercely inserted into Wang Yonggui's back, and Wang Yonggui let out an "ah" cry of pain as he fell from mid-air.

  Wang Yonggui rolled on the ground and got up, unfolding his lightness skill, running towards the foot of the mountain at the fastest speed. At this moment, he almost hated Li Wenjun to death, but he also knew that he had encountered the most dangerous moment since he started his career. If he couldn't run back to his old nest as soon as possible, it would be bad for him, and he might die in Li Wenjun's hands.

  At this point, Li Wenjun naturally couldn't let Wang Yonggui go. He didn't have much thought of benefiting the people, but only wanted to avenge his grievances and repay his debts. Earlier, Wang Yonggui had tried to kill him three times, so he had to retaliate. Moreover, Wang Yonggui was a fierce bandit with a strong vengeful heart, and such a person could never be left alive, for if he were spared, he would surely become a great calamity in the future, and releasing a tiger back into the mountains would never be the best choice.

  After a short rest, Li Wenjun's mana had recovered somewhat. Once a cultivator has cultivated the cycle of Zhou Tian, their spiritual energy will automatically follow a predetermined path and flow through their meridians, slowly recovering their mana. Of course, this kind of autonomous recovery cannot be compared to a cultivator consciously meditating to recover; the speed of recovery is much slower.

  To save his strength, Li Wenjun did not use the Light Body Technique this time, but instead used the Light Footwork. The mountain knife could no longer be used, so he first picked up the hunting fork and then carried it with him, following behind Wang Yonggui as he chased after him.

  Wang Yonggui turned back to look at Li Wenjun, who was closely pursuing him, and sneered continuously. You little scoundrel, heaven has a road that you don't take, hell has no gate that you charge into. Grandpa will send you to the Western Heaven today.

  Wang Yonggui deliberately ran towards the mechanisms and traps he had laid down before, including pitfalls, falling boards, crashing hammers, knife nets and so on. Several of them were triggered in a row, each time almost taking Li Wenjun's life.

  Li Wenjun's hair stood on end, and his juniors were all drenched in cold sweat. The dangers he had faced since birth had never been more numerous than today. If he hadn't been cautious and careful to guard against it, perhaps he would have become a ghost under Wang Yonggui's knife long ago.

  Li Wenjun became more determined to get rid of Wang Yonggui. A person like him could not be allowed to continue living in this world, and if he wanted to live, it was his turn now. Li Wenjun couldn't sleep that night.

  Wang Yonggui launched seven or eight moves in a row, but he didn't expect Li Wenjun to be so tough that nothing happened. He knew this time he had really met his match. Li Wenjun might not only be on par with him, it was very likely that his skills would surpass his own, if they fought head-on, in the end, the one who would suffer would definitely be him.

  Wang Yonggui, despite having killed countless people, still cherished his own life. He secretly took a deep breath and quickened his pace in escape. In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the mountain valley like a wisp of smoke.

  When Li Wenjun caught up, he couldn't find Wang Yonggui anywhere.

  Li Wenjun jumped to a high place and looked around, but did not find any passage leading out of the valley. He also found that where the smoke rose yesterday, there were ashes left after the bonfire was extinguished. The fire from yesterday should have been lit by Wang Yonggui.

  Li Wenjun carefully observed everything in the mountain valley, and found that this mountain valley was a basin, surrounded by mountains on all sides. The mountain valley was just a basin, not very large in area. Under the withered grass, there were many small green grasses, and at the foot of the mountain, there were also many shrubs. In addition, some stones were scattered around.

  Li Wenjun's heart skipped a beat, and he landed back in the mountain valley, using his hunting spear to stir up the thickets of shrubs and dry grass. After searching back and forth, he finally found five traps with extremely toxic poison. At last, behind a thicket, Li Wenjun discovered a cave half as tall as a man. The entrance was very hidden, and if one didn't search carefully, it would be easy to miss.

  Li Wenjun poked his head in, just about to take a look inside the cave, when he heard a whizzing sound coming from inside. A cold arrow with extremely potent poison flew out of the cave.

  "Alright, kid. I admit defeat. But don't think about killing me either. Today was just a misunderstanding. You can go now, I won't stop you. From now on, you take your own path and I'll take mine." A voice echoed from inside the cave, belonging to Wang Yonggui.

  "Wang Yonggui, you've finished thinking, but I haven't even started yet. You're making one move after another to kill me, this account, we need to settle it." Li Wenjun replied.

  "Kid, take a step back, the sea is wide and the mountains are empty. Let's take a step back, the sky is high and the clouds are light. What's the point of this? I admit that earlier I wanted to kill you, it was my mistake, I misjudged you and provoked your good friend. I apologize to you. If you still feel uncomfortable in your heart, then fine, I can compensate you with money, a thousand taels of gold. How about that?" Wang Yonggui threw out what he thought was a generous condition, but he didn't really intend to give Li Wenjun the money. As he proposed this condition, several sinister plans flashed through his mind.

  Li Wenjun said calmly: "I don't want money, I just want that brain on your head."

  Wang Yonggui suddenly became angry and humiliated, he said coldly: "Good, you want my head? Alright, let's drag it out and see who wants whose head in the end."

  Li Wenjun did not respond to Wang Yonggui's provocation again, he sat on a stone near the cave entrance, staring at the cave entrance while secretly speeding up and recovering his magic.

  Before he knew it, a day had passed and Li Wenjun's magical powers were almost fully recovered. What made him feel strange was that there was no movement inside the cave, nor did he know what Wang Yonggui was doing inside the cave.

  "Is Wang Yonggui still alive? If he is, let him bark like a dog." Li Wenjun said calmly under the morning light.

  "How about it, young man? Have you thought it over? If you decide to go for the gold, I can satisfy your demands. One thousand taels won't do, then we'll make it two thousand taels. Two thousand taels won't do, then we'll make it three thousand taels, until you're satisfied." Wang Yonggui still wanted to entice Li Wenjun with money.

  Li Wenjun smiled and said, "Let's talk about the money later. I'm telling you this because even if you hide in a hole, don't think you'll be able to breathe tomorrow's air. Today, I'll catch you like a turtle in a jar and use your head as an offering to heaven."

  Thank you for your generous reward in the void, thank you.
