Chapter 388 – Paying Respects to the Father-in-law Three (2/2)

“Qingshan.” Han Qiongzhi pressed down on Li Qingshan’s hand and studied his expression. “Are you mad? Didn’t I tell you to go easy?”

“I can’t just watch him harm you though!”

Han Qiongzhi touched her face. She had grown accustomed to scratches like that growing up in this household, such that even she did not take it seriously, but this made her smile. Being cared for really was quite nice.

“Uncle Cao, we’ve won this time, right?”

“You’ve won, you’ve won. Give me back my zither!” Cao Gan said in a hurry.

“Alright, here.”

Han Qiongzhi elbowed Li Qingshan gently. Li Qingshan leaned back and raised his arm, making the perfect throwing posture. The zither turned into a black speck immediately, flying off the mountain.

“Kid, you!” Cao Gan rushed off in pursuit.

“You’re far too evil. That’s uncle Cao’s lifeblood,” Han Qiongzhi smiled.

“You’re my lifeblood,” Li Qingshan stroked her face, and the scratch vanished.

“How disgusting.” Han Qiongzhi reddened, and her heart sweetened slightly.

“I really don’t mean it like that this time!” Li Qingshan said like he had just been wrongly accused.

The two of them passed through the barbican, and after that, it was actually smooth sailing. They did not run into any more obstructions. Just a lot of people from the Han family whispered among themselves in the houses.

“Look, that’s Li Qingshan!” “I heard he’s very strong. It’s said that the gatekeeping army and the advisor have both been defeated by him.” “What? He’s just at the eighth layer though. The young miss must have helped him. You really can’t keep a grown girl around!”

With the same method of managing an army, Han Anjun managed the entire general’s estate into something like a military base. There was even a drilling field in front of the gates separating the inner and outer estates. Normally, it was used for drilling the people of the Han family. But right now, there were a total of three hundred soldiers there, either sitting or standing. Some of them even discussed among themselves quietly. There was no sense of discipline at all.

Only Han Tieyi stood dead straight with a spear in his hand, like a statue. Only when he saw Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi appear did he suddenly say,

“Prepare for battle.”

The soldiers only stood up and looked over. They still seemed like a messy group, without any sense for formation per se. However, something indescribable was connecting them, actually merging three hundred completely different people into one.

“This is my father’s personal army, the elites among the elites. You can’t be careless here!” Han Qiongzhi felt troubled inside.

“In other words, I can see your father once I defeat them!” Even without Han Qiongzhi’s warning, Li Qingshan would not be careless. These soldiers gave off a concealed sense of terrifying murderousness such that even he felt a hint of danger.

“We can’t win. We have to find a way to pass through here and reach the inner estate!”

Li Qingshan strode over and laughed aloud. “Brother-in-law, shouldn’t you greet the future husband of your elder sister when you meet him?”

“I don’t think the two of you will turn around no matter what I say, so let’s do it! Receive the enemy!” Han Tieyi sent out an order, and the three hundred soldiers silently surged forth like a flood.

At this moment, Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi worked together to launch the first strike.

Han Qiongzhi erupted with flames the moment she attacked, radiating with waves of heat, while Li Qingshan treaded on waves, spinning and agitating the streams of water.

Water and fire raced against one another charging forward together and merging as one. They sent all the soldiers in their way flying, but the other soldiers in the surroundings were unaffected. They brushed past them.

In just a few seconds, the two of them had penetrated the formation.

With a boom, Han Tieyi struck out with his spear like a dragon, colliding with a blade and a fist. The light from agitated true qi illuminated the dark night.

A tremendous force erupted from the fist. Han Tieyi actually found it rather difficult to bear with. He was secretly surprised. Just how long had it been, but Li Qingshan’s strength and speed had increased yet again. The bearing he vaguely gave off was chilling. If they were fighting against each other alone, he probably was not his opponent anymore. With his rate of improvement, it truly was strange that his father insisted on stopping them.

However, this thought only flashed through his head. Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi roared out together, pouring all their true qi and strength into the attack.

Han Tieyi was forced into staggering back. He reached the gates of the wall, with no room left for retreat. Suddenly, he abandoned his spear and punched both of them in the chest. At the same time, he called out, “Trap them!”

Li Qingshan blocked the punch with his arm, so he only shuddered slightly, but Han Qiongzhi was sent flying. Looking back, the three hundred soldiers had already fallen into the Military Formation of the Coiled snake before he knew it. A huge snake sat with its body coiled, pulling Han Qiongzhi into the formation. She called out, “Don’t worry about me! Just go! Go find my father and explain it to him!”

However, Li Qingshan killed his way back into the formation without the slightest hesitation at all, arriving beside Han Qiongzhi.

The two of them stood with their backs against one another with enemies everywhere.

Han Qiongzhi said, “You idiot, why’d you return?”
