Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"A Tier 1 Earth-rank spiritual artifact! Young Master Liusu has bid for a Tier 1 Earth-rank spiritual artifact! At market price, that's at least equivalent to fifty low-grade spirit stones!"

The whole place was dead silent.

Qin Shao's face turned from white to green, and then from green to black.

He stared intently at the small, emerald-green sword, his chest heaving violently.

"Master."

Triathlon's low voice.

"Let's give up. We can't possibly contend with a low-grade spiritual artifact."

"Shut up!"

Qin Shao squeezed out two words through gritted teeth, but in the end, he slumped back into his chair, the jade fan in his hand snapping with a "crack".

Chu Qianxuan waited a moment, and seeing that no one else was bidding, he called out loudly.

"Congratulations to Young Master Liusu for winning the heart of the Nine Desolate Unicorn Rhinoceros! This auction is now closed!"

Liu Sucang rose gracefully, nodded slightly to the surroundings, and when her gaze swept over Qin Shao, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Distinguished guests, please take a short rest. Two more exquisite items will be presented shortly."

Chu Qianxuan announced.

Qin Shao slammed his fist on the table, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and shatter.

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Purple Cloud Holy Land!"

He said through gritted teeth.

"They clearly know that our Qin family desperately needs this heart."

Triathlon's low voice.

"Young Master, please calm down. The patriarch said that even if we can't get the heart, we have other methods."

Just then, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Liu rushed in in a panic, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

"Young Master! Something's happened!"

Qin Shao was already in a terrible mood, and seeing this only made him angrier.

"What's the panic! Is the sky falling down?"

Wang Liu swallowed.

"Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei...they've disappeared!"

"what?"

Qin Shao suddenly stood up.

"When did this happen?"

"Just half an hour ago, they were supposed to be monitoring Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao in the west of the city, but when I went to check just now, both of them were nowhere to be found, and I couldn't even contact them with the communication jade pendant."

Qin Shao's face instantly turned ashen.

"What about Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao?"

"They've also disappeared."

Wang Liu wiped his sweat.

"And Mu Feng and his sister Mu Xi, they can't find anyone in the area they're monitoring either."

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Enraged, Qin Shao smashed the coffee table next to him into dust with a single blow.

"So many people, just vanished into thin air?"

"Ironman said in a deep voice."

"Young master, this matter is suspicious."

Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei were both at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm; it was impossible for them to be eliminated silently.

Qin Shao forced himself to calm down and took a deep breath.

"Ironman, try using your communication jade pendant."

Tie San nodded, took out a cyan jade pendant from his pocket, and infused it with spiritual power. The jade pendant emitted a faint light, but it quickly dimmed again.

"no respond."

Triathlon frowned.

"But I can sense the approximate location of the other jade pendant."

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Tie San's forehead as his fingers moved rapidly across the jade pendant.

"The jade pendant indicates that they were taken away from Tianyun Pavilion at an extremely fast speed, and their direction is due south!"

"Trash! They're all trash!"

Qin Shao kicked over the mahogany tea table in front of him, shattering the teaware on the floor.

"Those bastards, Gu Sheng and his gang, dare to mess with me! Tie San, chase them!"

The triathlete looked troubled.

"Young Master Qin, the opponent may have used a void ring, we..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Qin Shao grabbed Tie San by the collar.

"My father didn't raise you to spout nonsense here! If those people get away today, you can expect to be fed to the City Lord's Soul-Devouring Beasts!"

The triathlete's Adam's apple bobbed as he nodded with difficulty.

"I understand. But if we are to catch up with them, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Young Master Qin to ride with me on this flying sword."

"go!"

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Shao strode out, the jade pendant at his waist jingling.

Tie San dared not be negligent. He took out a narrow, jet-black sword from his sleeve. The sword grew longer as it faced the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it became the size of a door panel.

He made hand seals and chanted incantations, and the flying sword hovered three feet off the ground, emitting a buzzing tremor.

"Young Master Qin, please."

Qin Shao snorted coldly and leaped onto his flying sword. Tie San followed closely behind, his hand seals changing, and his flying sword shot south, drawing a black streak of light over Luoyun City.

"Faster!"

Qin Shao stood at the front of the flying sword, his robes fluttering in the strong wind.

"If they escape from Luoyun City, I'll hold you accountable!"

Tie San gritted his teeth, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the flying sword.

"That's already at top speed, Young Master Qin. The communication jade pendant shows they've just passed the South Gate."

"South Gate?"

Qin Shao turned around abruptly, his anger burning even brighter.

"Are the city guards blind? They couldn't even see four people swaggering out of the city?"

Tie San didn't reply, focusing on controlling the flying sword. The buildings below rushed past, and in the blink of an eye, the towering south gate city wall came into view.

The flying sword came to an abrupt halt in front of the city gate, kicking up a cloud of dust. The city guards were alerted and quickly surrounded the area, spears in hand.

"Who's so blind as to dare to be here?"

The lead guard choked on his words halfway through, his face turning pale.

"Young Master Qin!"

Qin Shao jumped off his flying sword and kicked the guard to the ground.

"You bastard! Did a group of four just leave the city?"

The guard clutched his stomach and curled up on the ground.

"Indeed, there were four people, about fifteen minutes ago."

Why didn't you stop them?

Enraged, Qin Shao's jade pendant suddenly emitted a blood-red light.

"Did my father raise you all just to eat?"

"Another guard said tremblingly."

"Young Master Qin, please calm down. Those four men possess legitimate travel permits, and their appearances match. Your subordinate is truly..."

Triathlon suddenly interrupted.

"But two men and two women? And one of them is a sickly girl?"

The guards nodded repeatedly.

"Exactly! A pale-faced scholar with a sickly girl, and two others who looked like siblings."

"Disguise technique."

"Ironman said in a deep voice."

"Young Master Qin, they must have used a disguise talisman."

Qin Shao was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Great, very good."

He turned to the guards.

Which direction did those four people go?

"Head south, along the official road."

Before the guard could finish speaking, Young Master Qin had already turned and left.

Just as Tie San was about to catch up, the jade pendant at his waist suddenly trembled slightly.

He looked down and his expression changed slightly.

"Wang Liu led his men to the North Gate and inquired whether reinforcements were needed."

"Tell them to get back to the city lord's mansion and report the news!"

Without turning his head, Qin Shao leaped onto the flying sword.

"Today, I'm going to skin Gu Sheng alive with my own hands!"

After quickly transmitting his voice, Tie San followed Qin Shao closely, and his flying sword took off again. This time, he lowered the altitude even further, almost flying close to the treetops on both sides of the official road.

"The sound transmission jade pendant indicates that they are moving slowly."

Tie San squinted.

"It's right behind that hillside!"

On the other side of the hillside, Gu Sheng and his group had just landed.

Ling Xiao put away the flying talisman and let out a long sigh of relief.

"We should shake them off."

Muxi leaned weakly on her brother's shoulder, her face pale.

"Brother, I can't walk anymore."

"Hold on a little longer."

Mu Feng tenderly wiped the cold sweat from his sister's forehead.

"Once we find a safe place, I'll treat your illness."

Gu Sheng looked around and suddenly frowned.

"No, it's too quiet."

Ling Xiao alertly drew his longsword. "What?"

"Triathlon is no joke."

Gu Sheng took out a copper coin from his pocket and tossed it into the air. After spinning a few times, the coin hovered and remained still, pointing in the direction they had come from.

"Sure enough, they've caught up."

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng's expression changed drastically.

"How could that be? We clearly..."

"Sound-transmitting jade pendant".

Gu Sheng put away the copper coins and sneered.

"Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei must have location talismans on them. I should have realized it sooner."

Ling Xiao tightened his grip on the sword.

"What should we do now?"

Gu Sheng's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Mu Xi.

"Let's split up. I'll take Muxi ahead, you two..."

"no!"

Mu Feng hugged his younger sister tightly.

"I will never be separated from Xi'er again!"

Just as Gu Sheng was about to speak, a furious shout suddenly came from afar.

"Gu Sheng! Get out here right now!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, startling the birds in the forest.

Muxi trembled all over, her little hands gripping her brother's sleeve tightly.

"It's that demon."

Ling Xiao's expression was solemn.

"It's Young Master Qin himself. Tie San should be here too."

Gu Sheng suddenly laughed.

"Only two people?"

"They're catching up!"

Mu Feng turned around and his face turned deathly pale. Two figures were approaching at an alarming speed in the distance. One of them was dressed in fine clothes and was none other than Qin Shao, whom they thought they had shaken off.

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao, however, appeared unusually calm, and even stopped in their tracks.

"Brother Gu, let's run!"

Mu Feng was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Young Master Qin is definitely here for revenge!"

Ling Xiao gently pressed down on Mu Feng's shoulder.

"Calm down, Xiao Feng. Since they've caught up, there's no point in running."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes, watching the two people getting closer and closer.

"We're too close to Luoyun City. Once the city lord's experts arrive, we'll have no chance of escape."

"What should I do?"

Muxi gripped her brother's arm tightly, her voice trembling.

Gu Sheng did not answer; his gaze was fixed on the burly man next to Qin Shao.

The man was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face, and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Triathlon."

Gu Sheng murmured the name.

"Hahaha! Why aren't you running anymore?"

Qin Shao's arrogant laughter grew louder as it approached.

"I told you, you can't escape my grasp!"

In the blink of an eye, the two were standing in front of him. Tie San's hawk-like eyes were fixed on Gu Sheng. Although Gu Sheng's appearance and aura had changed, Tie San's gaze seemed to be able to see through all disguises.

"It's really you."

Triathlon's voice was hoarse.

"Gu Sheng, a wanted criminal by the City Lord's Mansion."

Qin Shao raised his chin smugly.

"Uncle Tie, take him down! Father will reward you handsomely!"

Tie San didn't answer, but slowly raised his right hand. In an instant, a terrifying pressure swept around, and the rubble on the ground floated up into the air.

"Madam, mid-stage of the initial realm!"

Mu Feng's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.

He had only heard of such powerful individuals in the stories of tribal elders.

Ling Xiao's expression also turned extremely ugly.

"He's not just at the Primordial Beginning Realm, he's probably a key figure in the City Lord's Mansion as well."

Gu Sheng, however, remained surprisingly calm.

He gently patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder.

"Take Xiaofeng and Xiaoxi back."

"Brother Gu, he is a whole realm higher than Long Teng of the Qinghe Holy Land!"

Ling Xiao said in a low voice.

Gu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

"Realm level does not equate to combat strength. I thought the same thing when Long Teng died at my hands."

Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but seeing Gu Sheng's gaze, he finally pulled Mu Feng and Mu Xi behind a boulder a hundred feet away.

"Brother Gu, he..."

Muxi's eyes were filled with tears.

Ling Xiao comforted him.

"believe him."

In the arena, Gu Sheng and Tie San stood facing each other.

Qin Shao stood to the side, a smile on his face like a cat playing with a mouse.

"Young Master Qin."

"Gu Sheng suddenly spoke up."

"I'm curious, how did you escape from my restrictions?"

Young Master Qin chuckled.

"Your little tricks? I escaped long ago, I just didn't want you to find out!"

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.

"It seems that Young Master Qin has quite a few treasures on him."

"Cut the nonsense!"

Qin Shao said sternly.

"Uncle Tie, take him down! Remember, I want him alive!"

Triathlon finally spoke.

"You can't escape because of the communication jade pendants on Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei."

Gu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly, then he suddenly realized.

"I see."

He did indeed imprison Zhao Pengzu and Dong Wei in the void ring, but he never expected that the jade pendants on their bodies would become clues for tracking them.

"Suffer to death."

Without another word, Tie San unleashed a powerful right punch.

There were no fancy moves, just a simple punch, yet it caused the air to explode, and a visible shockwave struck Gu Sheng's face.

"boom!"

Gu Sheng flashed, leaving behind an afterimage.

Where he had just stood, the ground exploded into a crater three zhang in diameter, with debris flying everywhere.

Behind the boulder a hundred feet away, even with Ling Xiao protecting them, Mu Feng and Mu Xi still felt a tightness in their chests from the aftershocks.

Blood seeped from the corner of Mu Xi's mouth, while Mu Feng stared intently at the battlefield, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms.

"Is this the power of the strong?"

Mu Feng's heart was in turmoil.

He wished he could have such power to protect his sister, protect his tribe, and stop being bullied by others.

Ling Xiao leaned lazily against the bluestone, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

He glanced at Mu Feng beside him, who was sweating nervously, and chuckled.

"Brother Mufeng, looking at you like this, anyone who didn't know better would think you went up and fought that lump of iron."

Mu Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his brows furrowed.

"Brother Ling, how can you be so relaxed? Tie San is a Tai Chu Realm expert, is Brother Gu really alright?"

"what!"

Lingxiao spat out the grass stems and put his hands behind his head.

"Just watch and see."

Not far away, Qin Shao stood with his arms crossed, a smug, confident smile playing on his lips.

His henchmen behind him couldn't wait to start mocking him.

"This kid probably doesn't know the meaning of death. Master Tie's fist can shatter black iron!"

"A Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator dares to challenge a Primordial Beginning Realm cultivator? They're asking for trouble!"

Young Master Qin raised his hand to stop his subordinates from making a fuss, and squinted his eyes.

"Shut up, everyone. Watch how Tie San breaks this arrogant brat's bones one by one."

In the center of the court, Tie San's towering figure exuded an imposing aura.

He looked down at Gu Sheng, who was half a head shorter than him, and said in a gruff voice.

"Kid, kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."

Gu Sheng's blue robe fluttered in the wind, his face calm as if he were not facing a life-or-death duel.

He raised his head slightly.

"Stop talking nonsense and take action."

"court death!"

Tie San roared and unleashed a powerful right punch, the force of which tore through the air with a piercing explosion. (End of Chapter)
