Leng Shiqi had used such a strange method to kill Bao Pengyi, causing the Four Spiritual Guards to be stunned.
Bao Pengyi's death meant that their mission had failed!
The Four Spiritual Guards originally thought that this was just a very simple mission. In a small Shang Yang City that did not even have a Fourth Realm of Sky Human, who could kill Bao Pengyi who was under their heavy protection?
But Bao Pengyi was really dead!
His death was inexplicable, and his death was very strange!
One could imagine that when they returned to the Heavenly Cloud Tower, they would inevitably face severe punishment from the sect.
What made the Four Spiritual Guards feel even more humiliated was that from the beginning to the end, they seemed to have been played by the assassin. As Spirit Cultivator Sects, they simply could not bear it!
So they immediately rushed over angrily. Four streams of sword qi appeared at the same time, wishing that they could tear Leng Shiqi into pieces!
Leng Shiqi was relieved after killing Bao Pengyi, but according to the rules of the Blood Robe Pavilion, he had to bring back the assassination target's head before he could hand over the mission.
At this time, when he saw the Four Spiritual Guards rushing over, his eyes revealed a hint of annoyance.
He had never fought with the Four Spiritual Guards. Firstly, he was afraid that they would stop him from killing Bao Pengyi. Secondly, he did not want to be involved with the Heavenly Cloud Tower.
So he raised his hand and four earth walls suddenly rose from the ground. The Four Spiritual Guards rushed over and crashed into the earth walls!
The earth walls did not stop them for long, only stopping them for a moment.
However, it was during this pause that Leng Shiqi stepped on the black fog and rushed to Bao Pengyi's side. Then, he held the dagger and took Bao Pengyi's head!
At this moment, Leng Shiqi's mission was finally completed!
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, his goal was achieved.
At this time, more than a hundred figures rushed over. They were the guards that Bao Pengyi had bribed.
When they arrived, the first thing they saw was Bao Pengyi's headless body. They all opened their mouths wide in surprise, and their hearts were set off huge waves.
Their president, Bao Pengyi, who was at the eighth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was actually dead!
He died under the protection of the Four Spiritual Guards?
Could it be that a Spirit Cultivator of the Four Realms of Heaven had made a move?
At this time, some people even began to wonder if it was the four spiritual guards who had killed their president.
One of the four spiritual guards pointed at Leng Shiqi and shouted, "This is the person who killed your president, Bao Pengyi!"
Hearing this, many of the sect members were furious when they saw Leng Shiqi. They all raised their weapons and pressed forward.
Leng Shiqi sneered in his heart. Just as he was about to leave, he heard neat footsteps coming from both ends of the street!
He paused and turned his head to look.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Spirit Cultivators wearing silver light armor and holding standard weapons blocked the Leng Shiqi, the Four Spiritual Guards, and more than a hundred Three Blades Gang members!
There were even dozens of archers with arrows nocked on their bowstrings, ready to shoot at any time.
"It's the city guards!"
"Why are the City Guards here?"
"Could this be Qu Xinran's doing?"
"What should we do now?"
The people of the Three Blades Gang were suddenly in a state of panic.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the group of City Guards. He was the City Lord of Shang Yang City, Qu Xinran.
Qu Xinran's gaze first looked at the sullen Four Spiritual Guards, then turned to Leng Shiqi, and finally landed on Bao Pengyi's head. He revealed a meaningful smile and said,
"Mr. Liu, didn't you say you wanted to deal with the Four Spiritual Guards? Why did you kill Bao Pengyi?"
When Leng Shiqi saw Qu Xinran appear with the City Guards, he knew that he had been tricked!
His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want to do, Mr. Qu?"
Qu Xin Ran casually straightened his sleeves and said cheerfully, "Old Mister Liu has done me a great favor. I am truly grateful to you.
Since Mr. Liu has a grudge with the Four Spiritual Guards, I will help you get rid of them. "
"Qu Xinran wants to kill the Four Spiritual Guards?"
A trace of doubt flashed through Leng Shiqi's heart. He quickly skipped through many thoughts in his mind. Combined with the sudden appearance of Qingkou Hall's Hall Master Gou Huarong in Jinshi Street, he faintly connected everything together.
He was secretly shocked, "So all of this has been under Qu Xinran's control all along!
He must have secretly joined forces with Gou Huarong to find an opportunity to severely damage or even destroy the Three Blades Gang!
Jinshi Street was a bait, and it just so happened that my appearance added fuel to the fire.
What a good Qu Xinran! "
Thinking of this, Leng Shiqi couldn't help but secretly admire Qu Xinran. This Qu Xinran had quickly gathered the City Guards and joined forces with Qingkou Hall when he first arrived.
This method was really extraordinary.
"But all of this has nothing to do with me."
Leng Shiqi thought to himself. Now that he had completed his mission, he had no intention of participating in the power struggle in Shangyang City, so he said,
"Since City Lord Qu has the heart, please do as you wish. This old man has other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you." With that, Leng Shiqi hid in the dark alley behind him and disappeared.
Qu Xinran didn't stop him. He turned his head and shouted to the Three Blades Gang, "The Three Blades Gang has been bullying the people and dominating the city for many years, causing Shangyang City to be filled with complaints. As the City Lord, I naturally have to punish them.
However, since the main culprit, Bao Pengyi, is dead, you can leave as long as you promise not to cause trouble in the future. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless. "
When Qu Xin Ran said these words, many of the gang members were moved.
Most of these people were actually hired by Bao Pengyi with money. They only had this relationship of interest between them. When they saw that only Leng Shiqi had cut off their source of income, they had dared to act.
But now, they didn't have the courage to face hundreds of City Guards!
It was true that they wanted money, but they wanted their lives even more!
Immediately, 80% of the gang members fled in all directions, leaving only 20 or 30 people with sullen faces and motionless faces.
These people were the ones who had followed Bao Pengyi to build the foundation of the Three Blades Gang. They were the ones who were truly loyal to Bao Pengyi. At this moment, even though they knew that they would die, they still stayed!
Qu Xinran sighed with emotion, "Alas, there are still people who are so loyal to a selfish person like Bao Pengyi. Alas, what a pity.
Shoot the arrows! "
"Wait!" Just after Qu Xinran gave the order, the Four Spiritual Guards suddenly shouted.
"City Lord Qu, you should know who we are. Since Bao Pengyi is dead, we have nothing to do with the Three Blades Gang. We won't interfere in your fight. Goodbye."
"Oh?
Who allowed you to leave? "Qu Xinran said with a sinister smile.
"What?"
"Qu Xinran, do you know who we are?"
"We are the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Pavilion. How dare you touch us?"
Qu Xinran sneered, "Humph, when you are all dead, who will know it was me?
Shoot the arrows! "
"Sou sou sou …"
Dozens of arrows fell like a dense rain. The remaining members of the Three Blades Gang were suddenly drowned in the arrows, and miserable screams rang out.
The Four Spiritual Guards could only bitterly resist. Even though they were in the Spirit Transformation Realm, the arrows were not ordinary arrows. The people who shot the arrows were all Spirit Cultivators, so they were not easy to block.
In the blink of an eye, all of them were injured. Qu Xinran waved his hand and hundreds of City Guards slowly closed in. The Four Spiritual Guards' faces were ashen.
Leng Shiqi, who was hiding in the dark, quietly left.
