Chapter Seven One Hundred Legs of Centipede

  Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun!!

  Although he knew that the black gun in Qing Xie's hand was a low-grade artifact, he didn't expect that this low-grade artifact would also have a complete spell within it.

  Although this technique was ranked two hundredth among the Golden Technique, it was enough to surprise him.

  However, the pleasant surprise is that in this Five-Line Formation, the Scarlet Flame Arrow won't work, and the Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun certainly won't work either. After all, the Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun ranks lowest among the Metal-elemental spells.

  Almost at the same time as the golden rainbow appeared, a flame suddenly burst into flames, and in the blink of an eye, it burned out the golden rainbow. The black long gun in Qing Xian's hand also lost its original luster.

  "This is the Five Elements Formation, Qing Xie, stop your attack, you can't break through this formation!" Seeing Qing Xie's situation, the black-clothed woman finally understood the subtlety of this formation. By using the mutual generation and restraint between the five elements, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, she easily dissipated the power of the law enforcement troops.

  The green-faced man's complexion turned iron-green, and he reluctantly withdrew the black long gun. Seeing the fine cracks on the black hilt, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else. He silently walked to the side of the woman in black.

  "Fourteen years younger, I think we should talk!"

  "What's there to talk about? You want to kill me, but you don't have the ability. I trapped and killed you with my formation technique. Is this simple matter still worth discussing? Just kill you!"

  "I am a descendant of the Third Master!" The woman in black said calmly, with a hint of pride and arrogance in her tone. "Although times have changed, the Fourteenth Young Master's status has greatly increased in the palace, but I suppose he wouldn't want to be an enemy of the Third Master either?"

  "I never thought of being an enemy with anyone, but this time, it's you who came to provoke me first!"

  "So let's just consider this matter a misunderstanding, I also don't agree with the decision of the Third Young Master!" The girl said, "The Fourteenth Young Master has entered the school, enlightened to the Buddhist divine powers, and is a rare master of skills. Among the many young masters in the Wang Fu, he is second only to the Fourth Young Master, should be won over rather than attacked!"

  "Glib tongue! King Guanlan sneered, "No matter what you think, today is the day you brought the eighteen mountain thieves here!"

  "I'm also helpless, the industries in Yicheng are too important for the Third Young Master, he can't just watch them fall into your hands. This is something that even if you killed me, it wouldn't be resolved. You would still have to face the Third Young Master. In the palace, although you have some status, you're no match for the Third Young Master. Going against him would be a dead end!"

  "Hmph, if he's really that scary, I wouldn't have made it to Antun Inn!" Wang Guanlan said.

  "It's better to resolve grievances than to create them. You're a clever person, you should understand this principle. This time I lost, and you showed me your strength and worth, also showing it to the Third Young Master. I can arrange for you and the Third Young Master to make amends, and Yicheng's benefits will also include your share. This is beneficial for both you and the Third Young Master, what do you think?"

  "It seems that the Third Master is quite capable, to have taught you to be like this!" Listening to the woman's chatter, Wang Guanlan's tone was full of appreciation, but his words suddenly took a sharp turn. "However, I don't intend to make amends with the Third Master. Yicheng is already mine now, why should I share it with him? Whether it's you or the Third Master, you're both overestimating yourselves!"

  "What do you want then?!"

  "I want you to tell me everything you know about the Third Master before I kill you!" Wang Guanlan said slowly in a calm tone, "By the way, it's also the boss of the Eighteen Mountain Thieves. Your Eighteen Mountain Thieves are quite famous in this area, and over the years, you've plundered many good things. So, before you die, offer all your ill-gotten gains to me, Young Master!"

  "Bastard!"

  "Preposterous!!"

  The woman in black and Qing Xiao both burst into anger at the same time, almost simultaneously shouting angrily.

  "Hmph, do you really think I'll show mercy to those who want to kill me?!" Wang Guanlan sneered, "You're overestimating yourselves, your deaths are certain, the question is how you'll die!"

  As they spoke, the scene in the array suddenly changed. The originally flat ground suddenly shot out long earth thorns. Qing Xiao and the black-clothed woman's faces greatly changed. Both were high-ranking martial artists, and at the first moment, they jumped up and leaped to both sides. In mid-air, two water arrows suddenly appeared.

  Two people dodged in mid-air, but were still hit by the water arrows and fell to the ground. As soon as they landed, several green vines grew out of the ground, binding them up like living ropes. In just one breath, the two were tightly bound, unable to move despite being skilled martial artists, due to their previous injuries and the unusually sturdy vines.

  "Be arrogant or be a scoundrel, both of you, just do as I say! " Wang Guanlan's figure emerged from the array and slowly walked to their side. "First, it's you, Qing Xiao. Tell me, where have the eighteen mountain bandits hidden their wealth over the years?"

  "Pah!!" Qing Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, revealing a face full of disdain. "You little brat, I, Qing Xiao, have fallen into your hands today. You can kill me or torture me as you please, but if you want to get any information from me, forget it!"

  "Wow, you're still quite arrogant!" Wang Guanlan smiled calmly. "Actually, there's no need for you to say it, your group may have some reputation in this area, but compared to the Ning King's mansion, you're far inferior. Since you dare to come after me, you must have thought of an escape route and prepared a way out, which isn't hard to guess. If I were you, I would do the same thing too. When running away, it's natural to bring all the valuable things with you!"

  The expression on Qing Xiao's face changed slightly, but his eyes were still very hard.

  Wang Guanlan didn't mind, and continued, "It can't be denied that you eighteen mountain bandits have some reputation, and the wealth you've plundered over the years is by no means a small amount. However, since you've done this today, wanting to leave the three southwestern states, it's absolutely impossible for you to take out box after box of wealth. You can only travel lightly, so all your wealth must have been dealt with before you took action. Only then could you come here to kill me without any worries. I suppose it was the third young master who helped you deal with this wealth?"

  "Hmph!" The green jiao let out a disdainful snort, as if trying to use this one sound to cover up the fear in its heart.

  "I'm sure I don't know what you've exchanged your wealth for, but even a fool can guess. The thing you've exchanged it for must be small in size and valuable, something that can be carried on one's person. So, I don't need to ask you the answer at all. All I have to do is wait until you're dead and search your corpses! As for you, since the Third Son has sent you to kill me, he must have a lot of confidence in you. You should be his personal bodyguard and know him well. The ancient saying goes 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated'. Since I'm going to fight against this Third Son, it's only natural that I want to know as much about him as possible. Isn't that right?"

  "Do you think I'd tell you? Don't forget, you've already decided to kill me!" The woman in black lifted her head, the veil on her face had fallen off, revealing a clear and elegant face.

  "Can't help but say, you look very beautiful!" Wang Guanlan squatted beside her, stretched out his hand, pinched the black-clothed woman's face, and showed a slightly flirtatious expression, humming in praise, "Hmm, not bad, the feel is really good, it can be said to be delicate and lovely!"

  "I am a descendant of the Third Master, and if you dare to move against me, the Third Master will never let you off!" The black-clothed woman's face turned bright red with rage, glaring fiercely at Wang Guanlan as if she wanted to devour him whole.

  "Look at you, you're thinking crookedly, aren't you? Women may be great, but I'm not interested in rolling in the sheets with a woman who wants to kill me!"

  The woman in black had never heard of the term "rolling bed sheet", but she clearly understood Wang Guanlan's meaning, and secretly let out a sigh of relief in her heart. "In that case, if you want to kill, then kill! I will never reveal the secrets of the third son!"

  "You will!" Wang Guanlan exerted a slight force, pinching the woman's cheek and lifting her head up, "You definitely will!"

  "Thirteen Junior, you're being too confident. What methods do you have? Bring them out! If I make a single sound, then don't call me Huā Lí Jìnwèi!!"

  "Do you know about the centipede?!" Wang Guanlan asked calmly in the face of the resolute black-clad woman.

  "Centipede?!" The woman in black was clearly taken aback, unsure why Wang Guanlan had suddenly brought up centipedes. She hailed from the three southwestern states, where centipedes were one of the most common poisonous creatures in this damp and humid land. How could she not know about them? "Could it be that he wants to use centipedes to intimidate me? This kid is really underestimating Huā Lí Wèi!"

  Just as she was bewildered, Wang Guanlan said again, "It's centipede has many legs, crawling is very interesting, you say, if I cut off your knee bones——!" He stretched out his hand and gestured at her knees, the smile on his face becoming more radiant, "Then, connect you two together, you see, sew your mouth to this guy's butt, so that your digestive system and excretory system are connected as a whole, merge into one, of course, before that, I will abolish your martial arts, make you unable to commit suicide, so that without knee bones, you can only crawl on the ground, just like an eight-legged centipede, in the future if someone else offends me again, I will sew them to your back, so that there are four more legs, don't you think it's interesting?!"

  "I won't let you die, I'll feed him in front of you!" Wang Guanlan pointed to the green python, his playful tone gradually turning cold. "I'll feed him enough food, and even rare medicinal materials, because only then can I ensure that he can't digest all the nutrients from the food, and what's excreted will be able to sustain your life. Believe me, you'll live for a very long time, until I've gathered a hundred legs, I won't let you die!"
