162: Chapter 162 The Power of Thunder

"Just defend and don't attack; wait for me here."

Fang Huai naturally would not let his convenient wife die here; his figure flickered, and he slipped into the sandstorm.

The sandstorm could cover the Cultivator coming to ambush, but it could equally cover Fang Huai as he ambushed the opponent.

Su Qi was a Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator who had defected from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He and his five Junior Brothers were active all over the Chen Kingdom, working the business of taking people's money to eliminate their troubles.

Although he had betrayed his Sect, he had a very good reputation in the killing Cultivator circles.

Nothing else, just integrity.

He never took jobs he wasn't sure about, and once he took the money, he would definitely finish the job well and beautifully.

If he really couldn't complete the mission, there was also a solution: just kill the employer, and his mission would be considered complete.

Today, the six of them, Su Qi and his group, seemed to have run into a tough opponent.

Among the Cultivators they were besieging, there was one male Cultivator with extraordinary strength who had severely injured one of his Junior Brothers in just a few moves.

And just a moment ago, that male Cultivator had disappeared into the sea of sand.

"Li Ming, you rest for now; the rest of you, follow me and kill all these Cultivators."

Seeing that the male Cultivator had not appeared for a long time, Su Qi thought that the male Cultivator had already fled.

Seeing that the Cultivators beside the transport beast had been worn down by them, he decided to kill them.

Just as Su Qi was attacking the Cultivators, he suddenly discovered that Li Ming's aura had dissipated.

"Li Ming!"

Su Qi stopped in his tracks and shouted in the direction of Li Ming, but there was no response waiting for him.

The reason why these five Foundation Establishment Cultivators under Su Qi followed him so devotedly was because they had sworn a poisonous oath.

If they fled without permission during battle, the light punishment would be the destruction of their dao foundation, and the heavy punishment would be the annihilation of their Divine Soul.

Therefore, it was impossible for Li Ming to have fled.

If he didn't flee, that meant Li Ming had been killed, and killed in an instant!

Although Li Ming was injured, whoever could accomplish this feat definitely had a cultivation level not below Su Qi's.

"Retreat!"

Su Qi decisively ordered a retreat, while thinking bitterly that the employer this time was trying to frame him, and he would definitely take revenge when he found an opportunity.

Suddenly, Li Er let out a miserable howl not far away.

Su Qi looked closely and saw that Li Er had been bitten by the neck by a giant demon fox.

A demon fox at the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Damn it, it's a demonic Cultivator!

Su Qi cursed under his breath and sped off in the opposite direction of the demon fox; a demonic Cultivator who could control a Foundation Establishment demon fox was definitely not someone a stray dog like him could deal with.

After a few breaths, he lost contact with another subordinate.

After another dozen breaths, the last two subordinates also lost contact.

How could it be so fast?

Su Qi was terrified; could it be that the opponent was a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator?

If so, he would definitely be finished here today.

Suddenly, Su Qi felt a Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator blocking his path not far in front of him.

That person was Wu Yue, sent by Fang Huai.

Su Qi hurriedly changed direction, only to see Fang Huai blocking the other side.

Due to the Insect Concealment Art and Li Zhu, Su Qi could not detect Fang Huai's aura, and thinking Fang Huai was a Senior with Late Foundation Establishment Stage or higher cultivation, he hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Senior, spare my life! I am willing to exchange my entire net worth for my life."

Fang Huai did not speak, just watched him quietly.

The invisible pressure made Su Qi unable to catch his breath.

"Speak, who instigated you to ambush and kill the Changfeng Chamber of Commerce?" Fang Huai finally spoke.

Su Qi hurriedly replied: "It was the Changfeng Chamber of Commerce itself that instigated it?"

"Your own people?"

Fang Huai asked in confusion, then immediately understood the reason.

"Is it Luo Hui?"

"Exactly! Senior, this is an internal conflict within the Changfeng Chamber of Commerce; the little one was only doing it to earn some Spirit Stones."

"Good, I understand, you can die now."

After Fang Huai finished speaking, he rushed towards Su Qi.

"Senior! No, you are at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage?"

When Fang Huai used his spiritual power, he also exposed his own cultivation level, which made Su Qi's murderous intent flare up.

"Heavenly Demon Incarnation!"

Su Qi instantly transformed into five demonic shadows, rushing straight at Fang Huai.

Although Su Qi was at the Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage, Fang Huai's Cultivation Technique for concealment was too powerful; only by getting close to Fang Huai and killing him instantly could he avoid future trouble.

These five demonic shadows were identical to the real Su Qi in terms of movement, aura, and every other aspect.

He was confident that this Heavenly Demon Incarnation could deceive Fang Huai, causing Fang Huai's Dao Heart to be thrown into chaos, thereby allowing him to kill Fang Huai.

But Fang Huai looked at the second figure on the left, which was clearly marked with [True Body], and couldn't help but find it funny.

Just as the sword light from the five spirit swords was about to strike Fang Huai's head, Fang Huai's figure flickered and he instantly appeared beside the true body.

"Netherworld Claws!"

Over a dozen ghastly white ghost claws surrounded Su Qi's true body.

Su Qi was immediately flustered, and Fang Huai took this opportunity to grab at Su Qi's Dantian.

"Rip."

The sound of finger bones tearing through flesh.

With the Dantian damaged and the dao foundation exposed, the leakage of spiritual power made Su Qi once again want to retreat.

"Bang!"

A ball of Devilish Qi exploded around Su Qi, containing corrosive toxins that made the air hiss as it burned.

But Fang Huai was not afraid of these toxins at all, and his bone claws continued to reach towards Su Qi.

Su Qi raised his sword to block, but the moment the spirit sword touched Fang Huai's bone claws, it was twisted into a pretzel by Fang Huai.

Seeing that the bone claws were about to grab his neck, he exclaimed: "Spare me!"

Fang Huai sneered and accelerated again; only the crunching sound of bone shattering was heard, and Su Qi's head was separated from his body.

After Su Qi's head was severed, rolling Devilish Qi sprayed out again, wrapping around the head and fleeing rapidly into the distance.

Fang Huai spat out a mouthful of spiritual flame, burning into the Devilish Qi.

"Spare me!"

Su Qi spoke again, but how could Fang Huai give him a chance!

After Su Qi's Divine Soul was burned to a miserable state, he waved his hand and collected the soul into the soul banner.

Luo Yao and the others were still maintaining a combat stance.

The continuous spell attacks from the six of Su Qi's group had caused significant damage to the transport beast, and the Cultivators on the transport beast were also injured.

"Sister, the son-in-law wouldn't have run away, would he?"

Blood was overflowing from the corner of Luo Xiao's mouth; despite being hit by Daoist Magic, he had no intention of fleeing.

His Lifespan was already short, and he didn't want to be labeled a deserter before he died.

Luo Yao glared at him and said: "You had better hope that he doesn't run away, otherwise we will all die here today."

Luo Wei said: "Damn it, this is really damn unlucky; we are almost at Jinyu City, how could we run into a Bandit Cultivator?"

Just at this moment, a figure walked slowly through the yellow sand.

It was Fang Huai; at this moment, his white clothes were fluttering, he wasn't stained with a drop of blood, and his expression was calm and composed.

Seeing this, Luo Yao happily said: "Have you driven them all away?"

Fang Huai said indifferently: "They have all been killed!"

Killed them all?

Hearing this, not only was Luo Yao shocked, but Luo Wei and Luo Xiao also widened their eyes.

Although they didn't know how many people the opponent had, to be able to besiege the entire merchant group here, there must have been a Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator as the leader.

Yet Fang Huai only looked like he was at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage, and he was actually able to kill a Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with thunderous momentum.

"Son-in-law, you are truly the lucky star of our Luo family!" Luo Xiao said ingratiatingly.

Luo Wei also flattered: "With the son-in-law's help, sister will definitely be able to seize the position of family head."
