56: Wang Teng: Damn Shen Li!

In the battlefield below, Zhou Si took the lead, clad in heavy armor and wielding twin blades, letting out a furious roar at the sand beasts before him!

He then met a sand beast head-on with a single strike, splitting it in two.

Blood splattered onto him, further nourishing the Evil Qi in his Heart-Nature!

Dao soldiers Cultivate Evil Qi; the stronger and higher quality the Evil Qi, the greater the power of the Dao soldiers.

The Dao soldiers under that Military Strategist Immortal Master could even influence Spiritual Qi, making spells unstable.

Whether Yao Beasts or Cultivators, they all found such Dao soldiers extremely troublesome!

This was because Evil Qi, a type of Five Turbidities Qi, was simply too unreasonable.

However, everything has its pros and cons.

Dao soldiers who consume Evil Qi cannot achieve immortality.

Martial artists who Cultivate Qi and blood have no affinity for cultivation.

Cultivators who cast spells have weak Physical Bodies.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

As for whether there is a perfect existence that integrates all three types?

Yes, my brothers, there certainly is.

That would be... a Foundation Establishment True Person!

Getting back to the topic, the Yuting Guards, formerly of the Black Horn Gang, were not fighting Yao Beasts for the first time.

However, in the past, they would kill at will, as martial artists, after all, each had their unique skills and fought independently.

But now it was completely different; they formed groups of three, using combat techniques to continuously kill Yao Beasts while maintaining their formation.

They could also conserve stamina and Qi and blood, and absorb Evil Qi.

For a time, they were like a human wall, firmly holding back the countless Hyena Sand Beasts!

The heavy armor creaked and groaned, yet they did not retreat a single step!

The Dao soldiers were beginning to show their prowess!

On the city wall, Wang Teng caressed his buttocks.

His buttocks had already been bandaged, but the faint, lingering gazes around him made his chrysanthemum uneasy.

It was chillingly cold.

Looking at the suppressed smiles of the crowd, Wang Teng roared.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a man's butt?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but saying it was like poking a hornet's nest; the people around him immediately burst into laughter!

If it had been before, when Wang Teng’s Heart-Nature was not yet settled, he would certainly have killed these people.

But now, he could only be exasperated.

Then he and Shen Li glared at each other.

"Shen... I want to duel you!"

"Alright."

Unexpectedly, this time Shen Li readily agreed.

This made Wang Teng freeze; his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said suspiciously,

"You scoundrel, full of bad intentions, what new scheme do you have?"

Shen Li shrugged and said,

"How could that be, Brother Wang? But if the two of us duel, it's inevitable that we'll hurt each other's feelings. How about this..."

Shen Li looked at the shattered Frost Wall, then at the Yuting Guards, who were covered in blood, close to their physical limit, and whose Evil Qi was almost at its digestion limit.

He pointed at the thousands of Hyena Sand Beasts and said,

"Let's see who kills more."

"Good! What's the penalty for winning or losing? Let's agree beforehand, lest someone shamelessly reneges!"

"As you wish."

"So agreeable?"

"Of course!"

Wang Teng cackled strangely, then his hands formed seals.

A giant fireball reappeared!

The next second, it was about to descend from the sky.

Shen Li, on his part, was not slow either; the Little Sand Burial Technique was cast.

The sand on the ground began to soften and twist, transforming into a muddy swamp, trapping hundreds of sand beasts within it!

Wang Teng's eyes lit up at this sight.

"Good brother, since you're helping me so much, I'll gladly accept!"

Wang Teng's fireball flew out of his hand like a meteor, heading towards the sand beasts trapped in the sandy field!

But the next second, a massive and grand Spiritual Qi fluctuation flashed.

Then, the area before them was immediately enveloped in a thick, fine mist!

The moisture in the air became incredibly dense!

Dark clouds rolled in the sky.

The Yunmai Heshui Formation was activated, providing moisture.

Then, raindrops began to pour down from the dark clouds.

They extinguished Wang Teng's fireball spell.

Yet, like merciless swords, they pierced through all the sand beasts within the range covered by the dark clouds.

Leaving behind only yellow Spiritual Essence fragments on the ground.

Wang Teng was first dumbfounded, then he said with a twisted expression,

"Dueling, is this how you duel in your family? Directly using a Great Art?"

"I still underestimated your shamelessness, Shen Li! I didn't expect you to be such a scoundrel!"

"That doesn't count! Let's do it again! I refuse! I refuse!"

Shen Li said with an innocent expression,

"Since it's a duel, one must go all out, Brother Wang, I don't understand your reasoning."

"Didn't your elders teach you the principle that a lion uses its full strength even when fighting a rabbit?"

Wang Teng felt that ever since he came to Black Ridge City, his moral bottom line had been refreshed again and again.

His temper's lower limit had also been broken through again and again.

He had thought this was Shen Li's Peak, but he didn't expect this was just the beginning?

He quickly patted his chest, steadying his breathing.

He suppressed the urge to violently beat Shen Li.

With a twisted smile, he said,

"It's truly you!"

"But this bet, I don't acknowledge it, you cheated first!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Li simply waved his hand.

"No matter, Brother Wang, your word not counting isn't a one or two time thing, and anyway, Brother Wang isn't afraid of losing face!"

"Who said that?"

Wang Teng was just that kind of person; a direct baiting provocation would only hook Wang Teng!

He said stubbornly,

"Whether at home or outside, I am famous for my righteousness!"

"Just tell me what you need me to do! I won't say another word!"

"Of course, no personal attacks! And no physical attacks!"

"What kind of person do you take me for?"

"I'll just trouble Brother Wang... to pick up all these Spiritual Essence fragments."

Wang Teng was truly scared now... He hesitated repeatedly before asking,

"And no scheming against me."

"How could I?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." Shen Li nodded earnestly.

Wang Teng descended the city gate with a nervous heart.

Like a girl picking flowers, he collected the large and small Spiritual Essence fragments on the ground into his Storage Pouch.

But no matter how he thought about it, something felt off.

Based on his understanding of Shen Li, Shen Li would never let him off so easily.

This person was a born scoundrel.

His appearance was impeccable, handsome in every way, anyone who saw him would call him a handsome guy.

But not a single thing he did was humane!

How many times had he been tricked since he followed him?

For some reason, Wang Teng felt a chill down his spine.

As if he was being watched by something.

He thought to himself to quickly pick up the Spiritual Essence and return to the city... his hands involuntarily sped up.

But when he looked towards the city wall from afar, he found Shen Li looking at him with a deeply pitying gaze.

"Wait... what kind of look is that from that dog-like fellow?"

"Wait... why is the Spiritual Essence jumping? Am I blind? Is the Spiritual Essence alive?"

"Wait... it's not the Spiritual Essence jumping... it's the ground jumping..."

Then, from the wild sand, dozens of strange horses of various shapes, covered in many sandy armors, burst forth from the wild sand and began to sweep up the Spiritual Essence on the ground!

And then, to Wang Teng's disbelief, he was suddenly tossed up into mid-air by the leading horse!

His bile was almost forced out.

Wang Teng's desperate roar echoed in the air.

"You bastard Shen! You're screwing with me again!"
