Chapter 464: Performance
Chapter 464: Performance
About two hundred kilometers away from Lingwater City.
The smoke of battle rose in all directions.
In one of the battlefields, Li Qian was dealing with two cultists from the Blood Demon Sect, one fat and the other thin.
To be precise, it wasn't him but the Glor Sword that was handling them.
He was merely skimming through the formation, preventing any escape.
However, as it turned out, his precautions were pointless.
Whether it was the thin figure bonded with the mutated Thundercloud Tiger or the fat figure bonded with the three-headed Overlord and a companion beast of Overlord Rank, none of them were a match for the Glor Sword.
"Roar!"
The mutated Thundercloud Tiger roared twice, looking like a mindless zombie without any rationality. It charged fearlessly towards the Glor Sword, whose strength was a whole realm higher.
Swish!
Pfft!
The Glor Sword, transformed into a Golden Armored General, showed no fear and charged forward. The greatsword in its hand radiated a dazzling golden light.
The dazzling golden light was like a streak of lightning, slicing through the void and across the mutated Thundercloud Tiger's neck.
The two companion beasts passed by each other.
The next moment, the mutated Thundercloud Tiger's massive head was sent flying high into the air.
The tiger's head was severed, and dark red blood stained a large area.
The thin figure's companion beast died, and its own body suffered backlash from the soul contract, causing it to suddenly spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Please, please spare me. I can give you everything I have!"
"I have money, a lot of money!" The thin figure, severely injured and knowing escape was impossible, immediately begged for mercy.
His tearful and pitiful appearance didn't seem any different from an ordinary person.
It seemed that even cultists would feel fear and panic when faced with death.
"Hahaha, money is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately, it's not almighty. At least, it can't buy your life!" Li Qian looked at the thin figure, and from the voice, he guessed it was a middle-aged man.
He spoke with a mocking tone, "Because of the Blood Spirit Pest, my mother suffered greatly. Even if you were to be cut into a thousand pieces, it wouldn't atone for your sins."
"No, it wasn't me. I didn't put the Blood Spirit Pest on your mother!" The thin man, upon hearing this, clung to his words like a drowning man grasping a straw.
He immediately sold out his companion, "As long as you don't kill me, I can tell you who put the Blood Spirit Pest on your mother."
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the fat man beside him.
Not far away, under the protection of four companion beasts, the fat man who was attempting to break through the encirclement heard this and broke into a cold sweat.
It was clear that his companion, the thin man, was about to shift the blame.
He quickly spoke up, denying it, "No, it wasn't me. It was your idea."
"Li Qian, I was forced. I had no choice. He held a knife to my throat... That's how I barely advanced to the Overlord Rank. He's of Emperor Rank, and I couldn't resist." The fat man tearfully began to accuse.
Li Qian couldn't help but show disdain upon seeing the two of them bickering like dogs.
However, he soon became attentive due to the fat man's actions.
Just then, at the critical moment, the fat man suddenly removed his mask, revealing his true identity, "Li Qian, it's me, Uncle Sun!"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, and then a look of realization appeared on his face.
Previously, he had felt that the man's voice sounded familiar.
Now, it's finally confirmed that he actually knows this person!
This person is none other than the father of Sun Shouhe, who attacked me last time and joined the cult organization.
Li Qian seems to remember that his name should be Sun Dafu.
At this moment, Li Qian sincerely feels that the Sun family's father and son are a pair of eccentrics.
The son, out of jealousy, was humiliated by me and made a fool of himself, so his mentality became twisted, and he joined the cult organization to deal with me. Unexpectedly, I also ended up walking down the same path.
The most speechless part is that their methods are quite similar.
Moreover, what's the point of him revealing his identity now?
It only confirms his motive for attacking me.
Sun Dafu, seeking revenge for his son, attacked my mother, attempting to use her hand to get rid of me. This lifetime, he will likely spend it sewing in prison.
At this very moment, as Sun Dafu reveals his identity, some previously incomprehensible things suddenly become clear.
"That's him!"
"His son was caught by the Public Security Bureau because of you, and there's no hope for him to get out this lifetime. He harbored resentment and took advantage of pleading for your mother to put a Blood Spirit Pest on her!" The skinny man, seeing Sun Dafu revealing his identity, directly went along with it and continued his accusations.
Li Qian watched their performance, a faint arc forming at the corner of his mouth.
Just as Li Qian was outwardly calm but inwardly tense, the skinny man who was crawling on the ground, preparing to crawl towards him, suddenly stood up.
In his hand, a dagger with a chilling cold light appeared at some unknown time.
The skinny man tightly gripped the dagger and without hesitation, lunged to assassinate Li Qian.
At the critical moment, a pale blue light screen suddenly rose up, blocking between the skinny man and Li Qian.
The pale blue light screen effortlessly blocked the skinny man's assassination.
Not only that, but the skinny man's body also instantly glowed with a fluorescent light.
Then, he became unable to move.
Undoubtedly, it was the Tide Sea Spirit's "Tide Curtain of Heaven" and the Six-Tailed Cat's "Telekinesis" skill that had just been used.
After these two skills were used, the two companion beasts slowly appeared behind Li Qian.
The two companion beasts, following Li Qian's secret command, were always on guard, prepared for any possible mishaps.
Seeing this, Li Qian looked at the skinny man and Sun Dafu with mocking eyes and said disdainfully, "Are all of you from the Blood Demon Sect this stupid?"
Seeing the two men a little dazed, Li Qian continued, his voice filled with ridicule, "Your Blood Demon Sect, both humans and companion beasts, should all have Blood Spirit Pests, or even higher-level Gu worms on them!"
"Defecting only leads to death. Obviously, your mutual accusations and tearful performances are just to make me lower my guard, and then take advantage to subdue me, using this opportunity to escape!"
"Not bad performances, almost had me convinced..."
Li Qian turned his head away, and at the same time, through psychic link, he had the Tide Sea Spirit shoot a water arrow, directly piercing the skinny man's abdomen and pinning him to the ground.
Ignoring the skinny man's cries of pain, Li Qian slowly approached and continued, "Unfortunately, ever since the first time your Blood Demon Sect attacked me, I've already investigated your intelligence and information."
"Your performance is just self-deception!"
