“Bastard, you still talk tough even now…” Seeing that Shatu still dared to yell at Yan Liqiang, Xiong Gungun kicked the Shatu into the ground.
Xiong Gungun was already very big and a few days ago, his cultivation of the Five Animal Frolics reached Horse Stance Stage. The power of his foot was very huge. With that step, it made the Shatu spit blood and writhe on the ground.
“Don’t be in a rush to take his life!” Yan Liqiang smiled and stared at this person. He told Xiong Gungun to lift his feet, “Tell me, what’s your name? Which tribes from the Shatu Seven Tribes are you from? I’ll ask you a few questions, and if you answer them quickly, I’ll give you a quick one too!”
That person clenched his teeth and glared at Yan Liqiang with animosity but said nothing.
“Haha, his mouth is quite hard to crack. Then let me guess, your merchant convoy has the flags of the Earthen Desert Tribe, the Coyote Tribe, and the Stormy River tribe. But when the guards of the merchant convoy charge over, it was as one, not three. You guys are well experienced in working with each other, meaning that you weren’t a team assembled on the spot. You guys were already a squad. Currently, on the Gulang Plains, those who need to cover their tracks fearful of their merchant convoy getting attacked by their enemies would either be Dark Razor Tribe or Dark Wood Tribe!” Yan Liqiang said with a smile, “So I’m guessing you’re probably from the Dark Razor Tribe because when I mentioned Dark Wood Tribe, your face flashed with a sliver of disdain and enmity. You must be from the Dark Razor Tribe!”
The Shatu said nothing but his eyes moved a little.
“When I shot out the first arrow, everyone charged over towards me but you didn’t. You turned to run instead which means that you are smarter than the others. You knew the power of my arrow and was scared of dying by my hands so you tried to leave the battlefield first. The Shatu people usually kill the fleeing people immediately but they didn’t touch you. This means that your status is quite extraordinary in the merchant convoy. You guys came from Dark Razor Tribe so you’re probably no ordinary person in the tribe!”
The Shatu person still glared at Yan Liqiang with animosity but his face showed some shock. He didn’t expect Yan Liqiang to be able to determine that many things from those small clues. “So what if I am from the Dark Razor Tribe? Don’t even think about trying to get anything out of my mouth.”
“Really? Then what’s the thing you don’t want me to know the most right now?” Yan Liqiang asked.
The Shatu suddenly shut his mouth tightly and just looked at Yan Liqiang with disdain and enmity as though he was saying so what if Yan Liqiang killed him.
But even if he didn’t speak of this, Yan Liqiang already knew. Yan Liqiang didn’t need the Shatu person to speak — he just needed that question to kickstart some mental activity.
“I didn’t expect you to be a tough guy. Very well. I love tough guys, so I’ll give you a quick one!” Yan Liqiang said and then waved to Xiong Gungun who pulled out his scimitar and struck down. The Shatu was decapitated and his head rolled on the ground.
Yan Liqiang looked into the sky. In the blink of an eye, vultures started swirling up in the air glaring at the body.
In a short while, the battlefield was cleaned up. The bodies were checked to be dead and the loots were taken. Yan Liqiang led the archery academy students on their steeds and disappeared behind the valley like the wind, only leaving behind the ground littered in bodies as well as the cargo of the merchant convoy…
As soon as Yan Liqiang and the group left, another mass of five hundred people came over. They said nothing and collected all the remaining things. The Shatu merchant convoy wealth, horses, camels, and even the swords and arrows were all collected. Then, they headed towards Yingwei County…
Moments later, large crowds of vultures flew over from all directions and landed on the ground. After making sure the bodies couldn’t move at all, they started feasting. Before their feasts ended, large packs of wild dogs also joined the feast.
…
After dark, Yan Liqiang and the students who had changed into ordinary clothes rode their rhinodrake steeds and returned to the archery academy.
They all didn’t rest immediately. Instead, they started their little summary meetings in teams.
After every battle, all participants had to have a summary meeting. This was Yan Liqiang’s order to go over what went well and what went poorly. Everyone also had to speak. The good habits must persist while the bad habits must be changed and not be made again.
This simple summary meeting was the key to increasing battle power and team spirit!
…
When he got back to his place after the summary meeting, it was already late into the night. In his secret training room, he finished performing the Muscle Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing three times before practicing his punches. Yan Liqiang felt like he was renewed again. His body was filled with vigorous power. Based on his senses, Yan Liqiang felt his blood Qi, vital Qi, and bone marrow Qi about to reach their full state. the doors to becoming a Martial Lord were open to him. It had only been a year since he had become a Martial Grandmaster.
After leaving the secret training room, he went to the yard outside. The aromatic scent of flowers surged around while the bright moon hung high in the air. The stars were spectacular too. Yan Liqiang stood with his hands behind his back and peacefully enjoyed the night sky. Meanwhile, he was thinking about the piece of information he got from the Shatu people. The Shatu Alliance had sent an envoy to the Gulang Plains and was in Dark Razor Tribe. The envoy’s mission was to resolve the conflict between Dark Razor Tribe and Dark Wood Tribe. Under the envoy’s persuasion, the two tribe leaders had agreed to meet on the 15thof next month to negotiate. The location was at the Gulang Plains, White Grass Lake.
For the Shatu, it was good if Dark Razor Tribe and Dark Wood Tribe stopped their conflict, but to Yan Liqiang, this wasn’t good. The more chaotic the Shatu were, the better it was for him.
Looking at the bright moon above his head, Yan Liqiang’s face looked adamant…
Just when Yan Liqiang was about to go back, he suddenly had a thought and raised his head. The sound of the bird flapping wings came from above him. A grey messenger bird fell onto Yan Liqiang’s arm. Yan Liqiang took out the small tube from its leg and rolled open the paper. Yan Liqiang’s eyebrows immediately raised and light flashed in his eyes. Wang Jianbei was indeed about to attack the Shatu people in Pingxi City…
