Chapter 718 – Complete Extermination (1/2)
However, the people who emerged from the bamboo buildings were all inhuman Bone Eating shamans. There were men and women, both young and old, but all of their faces were twisted. Bone Eating shamans began eating people and growing their strength in their youth, and the children who were unable to practise cannibalism and practise the shaman arts would become the food of other shamans.
There were many children like that, so while they were not under any survival pressure, the Bone Eating tribe was not particularly large either. They were not like other shaman tribes that used shamans as their very core and mortals as their foundations for development.
The jungle behind them rustled, and another several dozen shamans emerged, surrounding the two of them on the pack animal.
“Xianghua Man, you actually came here. Do you really think I’m afraid to eat you just because you have the White Lotus cult?”
The Bone Eating chieftain gazed at Xianghua Man on the pack animal resentfully. He extended his long, red tongue and licked his claws. He could still clearly recall the losses he had suffered in Fragrant Flower market.
Xianghua Man trembled inside, subconsciously tightening her embrace around Li Qingshan. She sneered. “I’ve come today to claim your lives!”
The Bone Eating chieftain laughed out loudly, and the Bone Eating shamans all laughed along in a strange manner too. Only the Bone Eating shaman priest who had arrived a little later furrowed his brows, his gaze locked onto Li Qingshan.
“Hey, so you’re their leader!”
Li Qingshan broke free from Xianghua Man’s embrace and stood on the head of the pack animal, pointing at the Bone Eating chieftain and calling out.
The Bone Eating chieftain said, “How bold of you, kiddo, to speak to me like that. Your flesh seems very tender, so it’ll go perfectly with some alcohol a little later!”
Li Qingshan smiled. “You’ve chased me for so long, yet you don’t even recognise me?”
“I chased you?” The Bone Eating chieftain was filled with doubt.
“Chief, he’s the baby!” The Bone Eating shaman priest leaned on his staff and arrived beside the Bone Eating chieftain, saying with his deep, hoarse voice.
Li Qingshan sneered slightly and shook his head. “No, no, no, not just forty!” He paused before saying, “All of them!”
“Capture him!” The Bone Eating chieftain roared furiously.
Several hundred Bone Eating shamans lunged over together, roaring and howling away like ghosts. It was a shocking sight to behold.
Xianghua Man paled, and Li Qingshan leapt up gently, flying over the Bone Eating shamans and landing on a bamboo building. He turned around and extended a finger, pointing it towards an incoming shaman perfectly. The power of tremors erupted with that.
With a crack, the shaman’s spine broke, and he fell to the ground powerlessly. Li Qingshan could control the power of tremors like it was a part of his body now. Originally, he could have shattered the Bone Eating shaman’s heart, but he spared his life because he still had a use for him.
Over a dozen claws reached towards him during this time. The vicious smiles that had just stretched over their faces stiffened.
A series of cracks rang out, and seven or eight fell off the bamboo building together. No one actually managed to see how Li Qingshan had attacked them.
Li Qingshan leapt off the building and landed in the densest region of Bone Eating shamans. He maneuvered around, and the power of tremors radiated out from him. He only needed to touch a Bone Eating shaman gently, and their fate would be shattered bones. In the blink of an eye, an entire swathe of Bone Eating shamans collapsed. Once his ingenuity reached a certain level, it turned into crushing strength.
“Be careful! He knows daemon arts! Don’t touch him!”
But how were they supposed to capture him without touching him?! The Bone Eating shamans all pulled back. All of them were valiant, unafraid of death, but even they had no idea what to do momentarily before such an opponent.
“He really is strong enough!”
Xianghua Man was overjoyed. The Bone Eating shamans who had originally surrounded her and were about to jump her were all distracted by him, so how could she let an opportunity like that slip away? With a bellow, she launched a series of palm strikes and powered the Fragrant Flower gu, sending fragrant winds off into the surroundings.
The pack animal below her directly collapsed, and the shamans near her all began to totter about.
The Bone Eating shaman priest raised his staff, and the shrivelled head on top opened its empty eye sockets. Two wisps of black smoke turned into a two-headed snake that bit towards Xianghua Man.
Xianghua Man dispersed the snake with a palm strike and did not fight back. She leapt backwards.
“Kill him! Kill him! Don’t hold back!”
The Bone Eating chieftain bellowed out, taking the lead and charging towards Li Qingshan. His huge body was like a speeding war chariot. He threw out a punch, which kicked up a gust of whistling wind, like a cannonball that had just been fired.
Li Qingshan stood exactly where he was without budging. The gust of wind from the punch swept into his face, ruffling his scarlet hair. He smiled and turned to the side, throwing a punch too.
“Die!”
The Bone Eating chieftain ravished with joy. He was more than ten times his size, and his fist was even larger than his head. The punch would crush him to a pulp.
Bang!
The two punches collided, and Li Qingshan’s pudgy fist sank deeply into the Bone Eating chieftain’s large, black-haired hand.
Li Qingshan did not budge at all, and the colossal Bone Eating chieftain was sent flying instead. His arm swung back, now as limp as a noodle. Even his entire right shoulder had collapsed as he collided into a group of Bone Eating shamans.
Li Qingshan snickered. “You foolish barbarian, you actually tried to compete with me in terms of strength! You really are looking to die!”
