Chapter 40: The Masked Man

  Gu Master A Zhu's body was splashed with honey by Li Meng, and the Gu insects in his Gu bag suddenly rose up, crawling all over his body in an instant, especially on the parts that were stained with honey, even greedily biting his clothes and skin.

  "Ah!" The painful Ah Zuan let out a low hum, roughly knocking these troublesome guys to the ground, completely lacking the attitude that should be used towards 'children'. Although his body could resist the toxicity of these wasps, being bitten still felt terrible.

  Bang!

  A brick fell from the air and landed squarely on Azhu's head, instantly causing him to bleed profusely and cry out in pain as he fell to the ground. But his life was like that of a cockroach, and he suddenly sprang up unscathed, his sleeve fluttering as a green arrow whizzed towards him.

  Li Mang was shocked, but the speed of this arrow wasn't particularly fast, he raised his hand to knock it away. However, when his hand came into contact with the arrow, he knew something was wrong.

  This is no bow and arrow, soft, slippery, with scales... As soon as these thoughts came out, Li Mang had already guessed what it was... a green bamboo snake!

  As expected, Li Meng didn't throw it out, but instead was entwined by its body, this thing turned out to be quite agile.

  The toxicity of the green bamboo snake was only moderate, but this one was obviously not an ordinary green bamboo snake, and had been cultivated into a Gu insect, with unknown toxicity and abilities. Li Mang didn't dare to be slow, his left hand swiftly reached out and grabbed the triangular head of the snake, avoiding being bitten.

  However, the green bamboo snake's strength was extremely strong. Its not-too-long body tightly wrapped around his wrist, and Li Mang pulled it several times with great force but to no avail. On the contrary, he was left with a shallow bloody mark on his own wrist.

  What's even more deadly is that the Gu insect has a nature of merging into the human body with just a touch of blood. Although its head was tightly grasped by Li Meng, its tail had already inserted into the blood vessel and began to wreak havoc on his wrist flesh and blood.

  Ouch!

  The intense pain caused Li Meng's arm to convulse, and with a fierce cry, he grasped the head of the Qingtong snake with all his might. At first, it deformed, and then burst open. Originally, Li Meng thought that as long as the Qingtong snake died, he could get rid of it, but he had underestimated the snake's vitality. Its head was already crushed to pieces, and some parts were even reduced to minced meat, yet its life did not fade away immediately. Instead, its struggles grew stronger, and the rupture of blood vessels made Li Meng feel like he was going to die from the pain. Fortunately, it wasn't a major artery; otherwise, it would have been difficult to end the fight.

  "When beating a snake, hit it seven inches!" Li Meng woke up, but he didn't dare to loosen his grip on the already cracked snake head. Instead, he endured the pain and used his hand to slap the concrete wall beside him, using the impact to burst the snake's gallbladder.

  The snake's gall was finally broken, and the life of the green bamboo snake came to an end. The tail that had been inserted into his wrist was also pulled out alive by Li Meng, and it was heavily thrown to the ground.

  Azhu was severely hit by Li Meng's brick, his head bleeding profusely, making it difficult for him to move. Now that the green bamboo snake had been killed, he suffered another injury on top of the first one and spat out a mouthful of old blood.

  Seeing Li Meng Chao walking this way, Ah Zhu's face changed greatly. Instinctively, he reached into the Gu insect bag, but it was already empty. This made his face turn even paler, and he could only struggle to prop up his body and retreat.

  Li Mang covered his wrist and walked slowly towards him, expressionless: "I don't like killing people, surrender and you can still keep your life!"

  "Are you going to surrender? Being locked up and squeezed for the last bit of value, until you die in a dungeon?" Ah Zhu sneered, seemingly more understanding of Yan Huang than Li Mang.

  Li Mang was unable to answer, he had never heard of the existence of a force opposing Yan Huang, nor did he know how Yan Huang handled them. He didn't have the right to know before, and now that he had just become an official member of Yan Huang not long ago, he naturally wasn't clear about this secret.

  Azhu Na had already retreated to a stone wall, with no other way out. His eyes flashed with unwillingness and despair, but ultimately, he summoned an inexplicable determination and forcefully smashed his bleeding head against the wall.

  Bang!

  Li Meng closed his eyes, but the scene of red and white alternating still lingered in his mind, making him feel uneasy. He used to be just an ordinary college student, who couldn't even bear to kill a chicken, but now, he had become a butcher of ghosts and humans, witnessing too much bloodshed, which was unimaginable for him before, let alone doing it himself.

  After confirming that Ah Zuan was dead, Li Meng turned around and returned to the Chen family villa. This place is very remote and no one will come and go at night. His body will be handled by Yan Huang tomorrow.

  However, Li Mang found that the atmosphere in the villa was slightly off, and even the gate was locked tightly, which made him tread lightly and sneak into the backyard quietly.

  Hall, more than 20 bodyguards were lying on the ground, unable to get up. The Chen family of four was shrinking on the sofa with pale faces, while opposite them stood a masked person.

  "Don't even think about calling the police, or I guarantee that I will take the lives of your whole family of four before the police arrive!" The masked man's words were a warning, and he sounded like an older man.

  Call the police? Chen Hui had thought about it, but he really didn't dare to. Not to mention the masked man's formidable martial arts skills, just the four corpses in the Chen family villa were enough to make him speechless. At this point, his only hope was for Li Meng to hurry back and rescue him.

  "Hand over that thing and your whole family will be spared, otherwise... you know what!" The masked man sneered coldly, his small eyes scanning the three women of the Chen family.

  The three women of the Chen family huddled together, their hearts filled with fear and unease. As long as they weren't foolish, they could see what kind of gaze this was.

  Chen Hui naturally wouldn't admit it, and pretended to be puzzled as he looked at the masked man and asked: "Sir Knight, what is it that you want? We Chen's have plenty of money, how much do you want me to give you?"

  "Chen Hui, you're testing my patience!" The masked man's gaze swept across the three women of the Chen family, his eyes gleaming with a lustful light as he sneered: "These three are all beauties. If I were to take them in front of you, wouldn't that be thrilling for you?"

  "You!!!!!!" Chen Hui glared at him furiously.

  "Hmph!" The masked man snorted, suddenly kicking out with one foot and sending Chen Hui crashing into the tea table. The three women hastily helped him up.

  "Hmph, since you don't know what's good for you, I'll have some fun tonight!" The masked man finally lost his patience and sneered as he walked towards them.

  The three women were extremely terrified, constantly backing away, but soon they retreated to the corner, and as the masked man approached, their hearts became increasingly uneasy. But they soon opened their eyes wide, with inexplicable hope in their eyes.

  The masked man raised an eyebrow and dodged sideways.

  "Bang!" The expensive coffee table was smashed into pieces by a flying chair.

  The masked man immediately turned his head and saw that it was a young man in his early twenties, who had somehow appeared in the hall from the backyard. The chair earlier was clearly smashed by him. This person was naturally Li Meng.

  "Who are you!" Li Meng narrowed his eyes at the masked man, while rapidly thinking and guessing the identity of the masked man. Could he be in cahoots with that sorcerer? But looking into the other's unfamiliar eyes, he ruled out this possibility.

  "Mind your own business!" The masked man snorted and suddenly kicked a water jug on the ground with force.

  This man's legwork was impressive, the stainless steel kettle whizzing in, Li Meng didn't collide head-on, but dodged to the side, unexpectedly, the masked man took this opportunity to pounce, another long-legged kick, with astonishing force.

  Li Meng used both hands to block, but his body was knocked flying out, barely able to stand steady, and couldn't help but shake his numb wrists while staring at the masked man in shock.

  "Hey!" The masked man sneered, not stopping at all, and continued to launch a fierce attack on Li Meng. His leg technique was amazingly frightening, and Li Meng was caught off guard for a moment.

  After a dozen or so moves, Li Meng suddenly felt that his opponent's moves were vaguely familiar. Through careful observation, he could confirm that he had indeed seen his opponent's moves before.

  The man in black kicked his leg again, and was finally caught by Li Meng. The flash of light in his memory made him exclaim: "You are a member of the Wu family!"
