Zhao Qing stopped in his tracks and looked proudly at Chu Ge, “Why? Are you going to ask for mercy?”
“Um, I actually want to show you something.” With that, Chu Ge moved the sword to his left hand, while his right hand pulled out a .54 caliber gun.
“What do you want to show me?”
“This!” Chu Ge said, as he aimed at Zhao Qing’s chest and fired.
Bang! Since the two of them were no more than three to four meters apart, the gunshot hit Zhao Qing in the chest, and blood spurted everywhere. Zhao Qing’s health was suddenly reduced by 50%. He looked at his chest in disbelief, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. Chu Ge did not hesitate to fire a second shot. After getting hit twice in a row, Zhao Qing only had a little bit of health left. Chu Ge was unwilling to fire a third shot, so he threw a fireball. Zhao Qing was instantly killed.
“Whew! Sure enough, this thing still works. This is what you call, defeated in one shot no matter how high the martial arts level is,” Chu Ge looked at the .54 caliber gun in his hand and sighed.
The eyes of the three other ghosts on the other side suddenly turned red.
“He killed the fourth brother!”
“You bastard!”
“Damn it. Brothers, let’s fight them to the death! Kill!”
A red light suddenly flashed on the bodies of the other three.
System Notice: The Four Ghosts of Mount Tai gained the state of fury.
The pressure on Zhao Beifeng’s side immediately increased, and he was always pushed back by the three others. He quickly said, “Brother Chu, come and help! I won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”
Chu Ge quickly made his move after he heard what Zhao Beifeng said. However, he did not move forward, as he had noticed that the Floating Cloud Sword Technique he had just learned was too weak. If he went up, fighting hand-to-hand combat wouldn’t help much; therefore, he might as well provide support from a distance. He started firing arrows and fireballs. Fortunately, the Four Ghosts of Mount Tai did not look as smart as Wang Xu, and their ability to dodge was a lot weaker. Although their state of fury increased the damage they caused, their rage had not increased their ability to survive. Among the three people, Wang Baoping had rough skin and thick flesh and Li Laoyao had an agile body technique. Only Zhang Ada did not have an apparent ability, even though he was a strong martial artist and was waving his long saber fiercely.
Naturally, Chu Ge would aim at Zhang Ada. Chu Ge shot out three arrows in a row, but only two of them reached their target. One pierced the shoulder and one in the abdomen. This successfully helped Zhao Beifeng kill Zhang Ada.
System Notice: The Four Ghosts of Mount Tai gained the second state of fury.
Only Li Laoyao and Wang Baoping were left. They seemed to have gone crazy, as the red light on their bodies glowed. The two of them suppressed Zhao Beifeng while fighting him violently. Zhao Beifeng could only withstand the attacks but could not fight back.
Zhao Beifeng had also become ruthless, and he suddenly drew out a saber. Light flashed on his body, and in the next second, his entire body rotated and flew out.
“Rolling Wind——Scattered Clouds!” Zhao Beifeng shouted as his body rotated like a spinning top, and the long saber in his hand gathered layers of forces. In an instant, he had swung his saber multiple times.
Li Laoyao was the closest to Zhao Beifeng, and he was caught in the rolling force of the saber and was killed in an instant. Wang Baoping seemed to have practiced a hard Qigong, such as the Golden Shield and Iron Cloth Kung Fu. He was relatively far away from Zhao Beifeng, so he was able to withstand the blow, but he only had a little bit of health left.
System Notice: The Ghosts of Mount Tai gained the third state of fury.
The battle was not over yet. Wang Baoping had three layers of fury alone, and his aura was astonishing. Although he was not skilled in martial arts, his every blow had the power to kill Zhao Beifeng. On the other hand, Zhao Beifeng had immediately used up his inner energy with the massive attack earlier. Even his body technique became less agile, as he was suppressed to the point of nearly being killed.
Chu Ge said in his heart that this was not good. If Zhao Beifeng died, he would have to fight two more Bosses alone. He couldn’t let Zhao Beifeng die.
Chu Ge quickly pulled out his gun. It turned out that Iron Cloth could not withstand a bullet. A big -47 appeared above Wang Baoping. As he did not have much health left, after getting hit by the bullet, his health was gone, and he finally fell.
Ah! Zhao Beifeng exhaled and sat on the ground. He had spent all his energy. He looked at Chu Ge in surprise, “Brother Chu’s hidden weapon is so powerful. I wonder where you got it from?”
“This is a family heirloom. Did Brother Zhao just use the Rolling Winds and Scattered Clouds? You are indeed amazing.”
Chu Ge thought that no wonder Zhao Beifeng was so confident. His Rolling Winds and Scattered Clouds not only had range damage, but it seemed to be also accompanied by the attack of the sword’s force. Even if Wang Xu had used his Floating Cloud of Interchangeability, he would probably still be killed by Zhao Beifeng.
Zhao Beifeng said nothing more. After a few polite sentences, Chu Ge could only wait on the side. After meditating for more than ten minutes, Zhao Beifeng suddenly opened his eyes and felt the inner energy recover. Only then did his expression relax. Then, he started to touch the corpses. There were four of them. However, the amount of loot dropped from the Four Ghosts of Mount Tai was not a lot.
System Notice: Zhao Beifeng picked up a Yanling Saber.
System Notice: Zhao Beifeng picked up a ‘Hard Qigong.’
System Notice: Zhao Beifeng picked up a pair of Light Cloud Speed Boots.
System Notice: Zhao Beifeng picked up ‘Taizu Changquan.’
Four people all lost one piece of loot each, but it was very balanced.
“Congratulations, Brother Zhao. You received two secret books at once.”
However, Zhao Beifeng sighed, “Congratulations on what? These two books are just introductory level martial arts. Although learning them can raise its level of martial arts and the limit of inner energy, they are still useless.”
As Zhao Beifeng spoke, his eyes suddenly turned towards Chu Ge, “By the way, I remember that Brother Chu still doesn’t know how to train inner cultivation. Although this book of hard Qigong is only an introductory level inner cultivation technique, it trains your inner energy. After learning it, brother Chu will always be able to practice inner energy. Do you want it?”
Chu Ge thought, “Of course, I want it!” But he couldn’t let Zhao Beifeng believe he was giving it for free, “What do you want in exchange?” Chu Ge asked.
“Hehe, as expected, straight to the point. I think the hidden weapon that brother Chu possesses is excellent. How about exchanging it for my hard Qigong?”
Chu Ge’s heart suddenly fluttered, but he immediately shook his head.
Hard Qigong and whatnot sounded useless. What use would it be when it couldn’t even defend against bullets from a gun? Chu Ge still had three bullets left, which should be enough for fighting a Boss one-on-one. It was not worth it to exchange the gun for the secret book. At the very least, the inner cultivation technique should be at the Jianghu level.
Chu Ge’s sword skill was only at level two. He did not need inner energy until he had reached level five, so at the moment, he was not in a hurry to get one. It would be better to wait until the remaining two Bosses were defeated.
“Forget it, as it’s just an introductory level martial arts. If it was a Jianghu level inner cultivation skill, I might consider it.”
Zhao Beifeng did not force it, as he shrugged his shoulders. He put on the Light Cloud Speed Boots, then picked up the Yanling Saber and compared it with the saber he initially used in his hand. In the end, he decided to swap his old saber with the Yanling Saber, “Let’s set off then.”
The two men continued moving forward. They walked up the road to the top of the mountain. After killing two groups of patrols, a side road appeared in front of them.
Chu Ge remembered this road, as he took Zhao Beifeng down the side road. They did not walk too far before a lonely cell house appeared in front of them in the distance. Two minions were standing outside the door.
