This was the last sentence the little giant heard, and then he closed his eyes completely.
Until his death, he didn’t understand how he lost.
"This side is resolved, let check the points."
Da Jianbi took a deep breath, observing the rit point changes inside the small Token.
An increase of five hundred ritorious points; this is quite a generous reward. The little giant was worth so money.
"Li Xiaobai and the others should have finished cleaning the battlefield too."
...
The center of the battlefield.
Jiang Que and the three were attacked by soldiers. Besides the little giant, there were a few squad captain level ones in the military formation.
However, facing Jiang Que’s [Peach Blossom Spring], they were powerless to resist. Jiang Que directly released a battlefield killing plot, automatically aligning the bronze cultivators fighting against the plot’s soldiers with its developnt. So were eliminated by the plot characters, while others eliminated them, but in the end, they were all engulfed by the soldiers summoned by [Peach Blossom Spring].
Yu Huan Shui followed from the rear without much to do. When stronger bronze cultivators approached, he used the Gate of Destiny to fix their form, then they were eliminated by [Peach Blossom Spring].
In no ti, the battlefield was swept away quickly.
But Jiang Que felt puzzled. He eliminated a large group of Bronze Hall cultivators at one ti, so why was the growth of rit points in the small Token so slow?
After seeing Li Xiaobai’s actions, he understood.
This cunning newcor was always picking up the scraps. As long as the bronze cultivators were defeated, regardless of whether they were alive or dead, he would throw them into the Lake of Resentful Spirits of Extre Pure Land, refining them into Great Resentnt Species.
The enemies who were hit hard and left half-dead were all counted as Li Xiaobai’s rits because of his actions, which is why his own numbers grew so slowly.
"You really know how to pick up scraps."
Li Xiaobai: "We’re all one squad, no need to differentiate, Captain, hurry up and finish them off so we can go find the Chaos Squad."
Jiang Que: "..."
A quarter of an hour later.
The battlefield fell silent, clean and tidy, not a single corpse remained, only so remnants of blood and trampled, damaged land spoke of the encounter that occurred here.
The City Lord and the overseers were dumbfounded. This is what you call cleaning up a battlefield, no corpses left.
They weren’t even given a chance to intervene and grab rits, nor a chance to loot corpses.
"Is this the assassination squad?"
"Just now, when I wanted to help, my body wouldn’t obey, thankfully Jiang Que stopped in ti, otherwise I would have been trapped inside."
Several overseers wanted to slaughter Bronze Hall cultivators at the edge of the battlefield. As soon as they moved, they were controlled by the terrifying power of [Peach Blossom Spring], leaving them sowhat lost in soul.
"Bronze Hall has so skill, but only so little."
"Our bodies are ward up, let’s head to the Flying Immortal Hall."
Jiang Que summoned a new character, an old man with a white beard, who also had the ability to traverse spaces, uniquely styled with underpants and slippers.
Holding an oversized Urine Pot in his hand, he loaded Li Xiaobai and the other three inside and shouted: "Urine Escape!"
Then the Urine Pot flickered a few tis and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
"Boss, are we still doing this task?"
"Why does it feel like we can’t complete it?"
The overseers all looked towards the cultivator who organized the task. Scraping rit cos with a premise; only if the task is ultimately completed, their rit is valid.
If the task fails in the end, ten tis the rit of the task itself will be deducted. This task’s rit points are one thousand five, and ten tis is fifteen thousand.
Originally, the Chaos Squad would be clearing the main enemy forces, ensuring a hundred percent completion of the task. But the assassination squad went for revenge, making the final outco quite intriguing.
If two tigers fought, leading to Flying Immortal Hall’s fall, they’d lose a massive amount of rit, and the squad’s ranking would drop.
"No rush, continue clearing the battlefield, head to other cities to assist, and earn as much rit as possible. Considering Bronze Hall’s troops, if we work hard enough, it’s not impossible to accumulate fifteen thousand, even if the task fails, we must collect enough to offset the deduction."
...
On the other side.
Flying Immortal Hall, near the main city.
An Urine Pot exploded, four figures were ejected.
"Hehehe, delivered, delivered! Grandpa is going back to make a new Urine Pot."
The old man with a white beard chuckled strangely, spun around quickly, then disappeared.
Li Xiaobai rubbed the water stains on his face, yellowish, sowhat fishy-slling, and said bitterly: "Can we use a normal character next ti?"
Jiang Que snorted coldly: "What do you know? Of all the characters, his speed is the fastest."
"Urine Escape is indeed fast."
Da Jianbi agreed deeply, expertly taking out a handkerchief to wipe his face, indicating it wasn’t his first ti inside the Urine Pot.
Li Xiaobai was speechless: "That huge building is Flying Immortal Hall, right? Is the person we’re looking for inside?"
Jiang Que: "My rats sent back news: It’s currently a ceasefire period, there was a fight last night, both sides suffered heavy losses, now the four mbers of the Chaos Squad should be resting inside the city."
Yu Huan Shui: "Do we go in through the main gate?"
"Of course, but before that, let’s equip you with plot characters that can be useful at key monts."
Yu Huan Shui summoned three plot characters to follow the trio.
Next to Li Xiaobai was a middle-aged thin man, looking very shrewd with crafty eyes and a bit sleazy.
"What’s the chanism for this guy to follow the plot?"
"You don’t need to know; he won’t strike at you, just act like he doesn’t exist."
Jiang Que didn’t reveal the related plot of these characters and strode towards the city gate.
"Hehe, hello, my na is Zhang San."
"Just let know if you need anything."
The sleazy man rubbed the back of his head, nodding and bowing to Li Xiaobai.
"Hello, Zhang San."
"Rember to take the knife for if I’m in danger."
Li Xiaobai said blandly.
Zhang San nodded: "Boss, don’t worry, I’ll definitely die before you."
The four entered the city, the guard leader’s mory was altered by Yu Huan Shui, not setting any obstacles.
Inside the city, one could vaguely see so civilians, but now it’s warti, most people stay ho with doors closed. The few out to make a living still hustle about within the city.
"Squeak squeak!"
Rats erged from the shadows, conveying information to Jiang Que.
"Found them. Three n and one woman, one’s at the southern city market, one’s in the northern brothel, one’s in the western restaurant, and one’s ditating in Flying Immortal Hall’s grand hall."
"Cultivators don’t reveal the Law of Power to each other, only direct contact clarifies their abilities."
"Choose one each."
Jiang Que said to the three.
This is like drawing blind boxes, picking one randomly; whether it’s fortune or misfortune, only seeing it firsthand will tell.
But given this situation, no matter which you pick, it’s all misfortune.
"I’ll choose the one in the restaurant."
Da Jianbi took the lead.
"Yu here will choose the one in the brothel."
Yu Huan Shui followed closely.
Both had the sa thought; restaurants and brothels are easiest to let one’s guard down, so it’s easier to take action. In contrast, the two at the market and ditating in Flying Immortal Hall are harder to ambush.
Jiang Que: "Then I’ll pick the guy at the market. The one ditating in Flying Immortal Hall is yours."
"I..."
Li Xiaobai hesitated. The others were having fun; only this one was ditating in the hall, clearly a tough character.
For a mont, he failed to notice he’d been assigned the hardest one.
Yu Huan Shui comforted: "Don’t fret, the one in the hall isn’t necessarily the strongest, might even be the weakest, who knows?"
Jiang Que: "After we deal with them, et outside the city, move out!"
