Legend of the Great Saint

Chapter 152

Chapter 152 – Flaws in the Plan

A while later, there was not a single gambler left beside him . Several dozen hostile men replaced them, armed with swords and blades; they either sneered or glared at Li Qingshan .

All of the doors and windows were shut now; not even a fly would be able to escape from here .

Only then did Shi Jixiang slowly make his way down from upstairs . He spoke like everything was under his control, “May I ask who you are, brother? If you tell me about your identity, you might even make a new friend today . If you’re lacking money to cover travelling expenses, feel free to mention it . I, Shi Jixiang, am not a stingy person . ”

Li Qingshan looked around and said in a pity, “Just this much?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Although he had originally come with the intention of purging evil, it was obviously impossible for him to scour every corner of Silver Mountain town after killing Shi Jixiang . He lacked both the time and energy for that . There were still another twenty-six missions and over nine hundred people waiting for him .

However, when it came to something like teaching a lesson, basically everyone who should have been here was here!

Shi Jixiang was unsure about his motives, but he could tell that Li Qingshan had no plans to answer him . He was infuriated, and he took off his thin clothes, revealing a bulky upper body and the tattoo of a buddha . He sat down in front of Li Qingshan . “I’ll gamble with you this time . ”

Li Qingshan saw him strip and was ready to fight, but when he heard that, he was slightly surprised . Then he said, “That works . ”

Rattle, rattle, rattle .

Shi Jixiang rolled the dice viciously . He stared firmly at Li Qingshan with his small eyes . For some reason, he felt uneasy when he met those calm, unperturbed pupils that clearly divided the colours of the latter’s eyes . However, he had fought and killed for many years now, so his mental fortitude was rather impressive . He forced back his uneasiness and slammed down the dice cup with a bang . He asked aggressively, “Big or small?”

Li Qingshan casually cast his bet . Just like before, he bet all the silver on the table and went with big once again .

Shi Jixiang raised an eyebrow . He channeled inner force into the cup before immediately lifting it . He roared with laughter . “One, two, and four . That’s small . You lose?” At the same time, he circulated his true qi, and the men in the surroundings eyed Li Qingshan closely, ready to fight at any time . They were all wary of Li Qingshan flying into a rage from his loss and trying to hurt any of them .

Li Qingshan laid out his hands . “And then?”

Shi Jixiang was stunned . Originally, he thought that Li Qingshan would furiously label him as a cheat . “What and then? If you’re willing to gamble, then you need to be ready to lose . ”

“Alright . I’ve lost . All of the silver is yours . ” With that, Li Qingshan kicked the marble gambing table .

Not a single person present had thought that the heavy, sturdy, still table could be launched with such terrifying speed and might in a single instant, whistling through the air .

Shi Jixiang’s eyes narrowed as he was shocked . Even masters of external martial arts do not possess such strength! At the same time, he reacted by leaping up . The extraordinary martial arts he took pride in seemed so slow now . He could only watch as the dice and dice cup was launched into the air while the marble table slammed into him .

Boom!

Dust was kicked up into the air as the marble table slammed Shi Jixiang into the wall . It firmly lodged the lower half of his body into the wall as his bones shattered under the collision of the table .

The men in the surroundings still seemed to be lost . Didn’t they win? How had their mighty boss Shi been reduced to such a horrible state in the blink of an eye?

Li Qingshan ignored them . He walked over to the marble table .

Shi Jixiang really was a first-rate master after all with how tenacious his vitality was . His lower body was crushed, but he still managed to remain conscious . “W- w- who are you?”

Li Qingshan said, “A Hawkwolf guard on a mission . I find it annoying when people like you smile . This expression suits you better . ” He conveniently caught the falling dice on his side, “And, you can’t decide big or small through these . ” Without even looking back, he threw them backwards .

The dice pierced a man who was just about to launch a sneak attack on him with his blade .

“Just what are you going to use for a gamble with me?”

Everyone immediately understood their disparity in strength and the fact that death was near . They rushed for the entrance without any regard anymore . They wanted to open the main entrance that they had just shut firmly .

A man looked back in fright . A stream of fire that seemed like a dragon rolled over from Li Qingshan’s waist . Wherever it passed by, everyone was reduced to nothing, only leaving behind a set of clothes that fell to the ground slowly . This was basically even more terrifying than any bloody sight . He pushed against the entrance firmly before losing all consciousness .

The fire snake opened its mouth and lunged towards Shi Jixiang before pausing again and looking at Li Qingshan .

Li Qingshan waved his hand to express there was nothing more he wanted to say to him . However, Shi Jixiang opened his mouth . He was the one who had something to say, but his face was already lit up by the firelight .

The fire snake immediately swallowed Shi Jixiang .

The gamblers had not dispersed . Instead, they paced around outside the entrance . The night had just begun . They had yet to enjoy themselves fully!

They believed that this ignorant kid from another place would suffer very soon, and the casino would reopen . However, there were other people who believed that only those with the ability would take a risk like this and that the kid would be a difficult opponent . As a result, they split into two sides and gambled on this matter .

However, they waited for a very long time, and the casino still had not opened up again . However, none of them were bold enough to force their way in either . People of the government opened the entrance only after the next morning arrived . The large casino was completely devoid of people .

There was a speck of light in a tiny inn in the middle of nowhere .

Li Qingshan unfurled his mental map of the Green province and planned his destination for the next day . He used an invisible line to connect twenty-seven specks together .

Twenty-seven specks, one thousand people .

Xiao An sat to one side, looking at the mental map and Li Qingshan . He seemed to be in thought .

Li Qingshan asked, “Do you remember the number? How many was it?”

Xiao An dipped his finger in a cup of tea and wrote on the table, “Fifty-seven . ”

Twenty-six specks, nine hundred and forty three people .

Li Qingshan corrected the number in his mind . He did not deal with Shi Jixiang’s property . Ever since Xiao An gave him a clear goal, that had become his greatest priority that he eagerly wanted to complete .

If he could be a little faster, Xiao An would be able to recover his body a little faster .

However, he did not go without any benefits . Shi Jixiang was swallowed by the flames, but he left behind a few talismans . Originally, this person had planned to use them as trump cards, but before absolute strength, he basically had no chance to use it .

Li Qingshan raised his head and smiled . “We’ll be done very soon . Let’s go to Giant Deer valley tomorrow and go find the horse bandits . What do you think? The route I planned is pretty good, isn’t it?”

Xiao An then wrote on the table . “But if this continues, we’ll alarm the others very soon . They will go into hiding . ”

“That’s true . We can only move a little faster then and travel day and night . If they end up hiding, that’ll be troublesome . ” Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback . He rubbed his chin in thought and found that Xiao An really had a good point .

These people were not mobs from games who would pace around in the same place, waiting to be slain . Though, once they were slain, new ones would definitely spawn, as there would never be an end to people like them .

News always spread rapidly through the jianghu . As long as he repeated this a few more times, probably all the figures of the jianghu on the blacklist would realise that their end was coming, and then they would subsequently vanish into hiding . Just which Qi Practitioner would waste their precious time to scour the world for them? Li Qingshan did not want to waste this time either . This was also the reason why the Hawkwolf Guard could not eliminate them all!
