Chapter 1299: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind
(TL: Title is a chinese proverb that means covet gains ahead without being aware of dangers behind.)
Certainly, the devil’s appearance wasn’t in vain. It had injured Leng Bing’s spirit, leaving him looking uncomfortable with a pale face and bleeding mouth.
Qingfeng Li wouldn’t let go of this chance. He moved as fast as black lightning and instantly arrived in front of Leng Bing.
Pa!
Qingfeng Li stretched out his palm and slapped Leng Bing while he was still blanking out. Leng Bing’s right face became red and swollen from the slap.
The explicit mark of five fingers instantly emerged on Leng Bing’s right face, just the same as Binger Zhao’s face earlier.
Leng Bing’s spirit energy had been attacked by the devil, so his strength had decreased by a lot. He was no match for Qingfeng Li anymore and could only get beaten up.
All the people around were shocked again when they saw Leng Bing get beaten up. These people didn’t know how many times they were shocked, and every single time it was from Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li just finished slapping Binger Zhao, then he slapped Leng Bing’s face too. He treated those from the emperor level sects so contemptuously.
"Qingfeng Li, you bastard! How dare you slap my face! I’ll show you all I got!" Leng Bing swung the Black Emperor Blade in his hand at Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li laughed carelessly. The Fire Emperor Sword in his right hand chopped out abruptly with powerful strength.
Qingfeng Li blocked the Black Emperor Blade in one move. Soon after, his palm reached out like another bolt of lightning. It flew towards the other side of Leng Bing’s face and left it red and swollen, with five finger marks appearing as well.
Poor Leng Bing, he couldn’t even fight back. All he could do was be slapped by Qingfeng Li continuously.
"Bastard, you will pay back for what you did. The Black-Imperial Sect won’t let you get away either." Leng Bing was very tough. Even when both sides of his face were swollen, he still threatened Qingfeng Li.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa...
Qingfeng Li used both of his hands alternatively and slapped both sides of Leng Bing’s face consecutively.
After Qingfeng Li slapped the left side, he slapped the right side of the face. He slapped hundreds of slaps and Leng Bing’s handsome face was beaten up like a swollen pig head. Leng Bing’s teeth were all knocked out as his blood flew out through his mouth and dripped everywhere.
Peng!
A loud sound followed Leng Bing’s body dropping onto the ground. He had been knocked unconscious, with his body continuously shaking as he laid on the ground. It appeared as if he was an epileptic and was half-dead.
Seeing Leng Bing’s tragic ending, the people around covered their faces and backed off as if they were afraid Qingfeng Li would slap them.
Not just the people around, even Binger Zhao felt Leng Bing’s pain. Even though both sides of Binger Zhao’s face were swollen, her teeth were still there. Leng Bing was a different story. When he woke up, he might have a problem if he wanted to talk and eat with his teeth.
Qingfeng Li had no compassion for the unconscious Leng Bing because he knew if he lost, his ending would have been worse.
Qingfeng Li drew out his Fire Emperor Sword and moved to kill Leng Bing. Against his enemies, he had no mercy and would do his best to eliminate them for sure.
Qingfeng Li wouldn’t give Leng Bing a chance to pant, or else he would take revenge once he regains his strength.
It had been Qingfeng Li’s principle to eradicate the root to avoid future troubles. Just as Qingfeng Li was about to kill Leng Bing, the surrounding self-cultivators screamed.
"Oh no! Look, the Hell Flower was taken by Yitian Shou," a short hair self-cultivator said loudly with anger.
Qingfeng Li was fighting with Binger Zhao and Leng Bing. All the people were looking at them and no one paid attention to Hell Flower.
The Beast Emperor Sect’s young master, Yitian Shou, seized the Hell Flower unexpectedly. He was such a despicable guy.
"Hahahaha, keep fighting you guys! The Hell Flower is mine." Yitian Shou rode on top of the Flame Tiger, holding the Hell Flower that he had just picked, and laughed triumphantly.
Yitian Shou was so pleased with himself that he didn’t even watch Qingfeng Li and Leng Bing’s battle.
Yitian Shou quietly came to the bottom of the Hell Flower, and, when no one was paying attention, he flew up and picked the Hell Flower.
"Crap, Yitian Shou got the Hell Flower. I must get it back." Qingfeng Li freaked out. He didn’t care about killing Leng Bing anymore. He flew up and chased after the direction that Yitian Shou escaped to.
At the same time, Binger Zhao, Mengyao Fu, Black Puppy, and the other self-cultivators chased after Yitian Shou. The Hell Flower was very important to everybody and everyone wanted to obtain it.
The Flame Tiger was a king level class nine beast and its speed was extremely fast. It ran as fast as a red bolt of lightning and almost reached the speed of the sunbeam. Normal self-cultivators couldn’t catch up to it.
Only Qingfeng Li, Binger Zhao, Mengyao Fu, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and a few others could barely catch up.
Qingfeng Li utilized the Dragon’s Thousand Steps. His body turned into a godly dragon, but he still couldn’t catch up to Yitian Shou.
Qingfeng Li felt like this movement technique wasn’t useful at the moment. It was because he was only a master at the seventh level of the Spirit King Realm.
All the masters that Qingfeng Li was facing were half-step Spirit Emperor Realm. He needed a way stronger movement technique.
"How hilarious! You think you can catch up to me? Flame Tiger, transform! Use your wings!" Yitian Shou laughed as he ordered Flame Tiger.
The Flame Tiger roared when it heard Yitian Shou’s order. The roar of a tiger resounded throughout the first layer of Hell.
At the same time, the sides of Flame Tiger’s body grew out two red wings. The pair of red wings quickly spread out and brought both Flame Tiger and Yitian Shou up in the air. Everybody was so confused by the sudden change.
"What’s going on? The Flame Tiger is a land beast. How does it have flying type beast wings?"
"Yeah, I’ve never seen a tiger beast fly. What is happening?!"
"You don’t know anything about it! The Flame Tiger is a variation breed. It is capable of flying because it possesses the bloodline of the Fire Demon Tiger and Lightning Eagle. "
All the self-cultivators around were discussing with astonishment.
Some of the knowledgeable self-cultivators recognized the breed of the Flame Tiger. It was a variation of the demon tiger.
Qingfeng Li was surprised after he heard the comments of the self-cultivators. He didn’t expect Yitian Shou’s beast to be this powerful.
Mutated tiger type demonic beasts not only could travel on the mainland but could also fly.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Qingfeng Li had utilized this trick to gain lots of benefits before. However, the one who utilized the trick was Yitian Shou now.
Yitian Shou tricked Qingfeng Li, Binger Zhao, and Leng Bing so he could seize the Hell Flower and run away.
Qingfeng Li was extremely angry and his face was gloomy. Only he got to play tricks other people. Since when did someone get to play tricks on him?
Furthermore, Yitian Shou picked up his loot while Qingfeng was battling someone else. Qingfeng Li couldn’t let this go.
