The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Upon seeing Li Qing's actions, everyone was slightly stunned.

Wang Kuohai, the head of the Tianxia Escort Agency, looked at Li Qing, who was about to leave, and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

He immediately stood up and said to the two people beside him, "We don't need the goods anymore, let's leave immediately!"

After speaking, he turned and walked outside.

But at that moment, a cold killing intent attacked from behind.

Wang Kuohai, who was already on high alert, swung his knife towards the attacker from behind.

Splurt

A flash of the blade brought forth a splash of dark blood and a strange head, which turned out to be one of the three burly men sitting at the nearby table.

The other two men pounced at the same time, their faces twisted into sinister smiles, with numerous signs of decay on their faces.

The two escorts by the head's side, upon seeing this scene, were horrified. They raised their hands and struck at the two attackers.

"Roar..."

At the second table, a man and a woman, both with ghastly faces, also rushed forward. Their skin had turned a deathly shade of green.

Wang Kuohai's expression changed, and he took a deep breath.

His eyes revealed a hint of killing intent as he fiercely swung his long knife, leaving a marvelous trace and swiftly beheading the two monsters.

Splurt

Two heads flew up, and black blood gushed out.

Outside, the escort team erupted into a chorus of screams, and a terrifying figure was sitting on a carriage.

It was a lean figure with a face resembling a monkey, covered in black-gray fur all over, dressed in the attire of a shop assistant.

Its left hand gripped the neck of one of the escorts, and its right hand had already dug into his skull, enjoying the meal with relish.

Its eerie eyes, completely black and devoid of any emotion, were fixed firmly on Li Qing.

Li Qing's whole body stiffened, feeling as if death had locked onto him.

A suffocating sensation rose from his heart.

Behind him, several people transformed into monsters had already been slain by the head and escorts of the Tianxia Escort Agency.

The head had already arrived by Li Qing's side, holding a knife in his hand, looking vigilantly and angrily at the monster on the carriage.

The escorts by the carriage, each with a look of fear, gazed at the monster, their trembling hands clutching their knives.

The monster's gaze shifted away from Li Qing and turned towards the members of the escort team.

Suddenly, it darted forward, followed by a piercing scream.

One of the escorts didn't even have time to react; his skull had already been opened, and the monster grabbed a mass of red and white matter from inside, stuffing it into its mouth.

"Roar... Delicious..."

The monster let out a terrifying roar, along with strange language, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"Monster..."

"Run!"

Several escorts couldn't bear the fear and ran in all directions, crying out for their parents.

A look of disappointment appeared on the head's face. He knew that the faster they ran, the sooner they would die.

In an instant, a dark figure flashed and the fastest escort fell to the ground.

His head had been opened, and his brain was nowhere to be found.

The dark figure landed on the ground, then flashed again, appearing behind another fleeing escort.

The head, Wang Kuohai, shouted angrily, "Attack together!"

"They can't escape!"

After speaking, he had already rushed forward, like an arrow leaving the bow, covering several meters in just a few steps.

Veins bulging all over his body, a cold light burst from his hand, slashing towards the terrifying monster.

The other escorts, seeing the head take action, gritted their teeth and also charged forward.

At this moment, Li Qing's expression was uncertain as he watched the battle unfold.

A group of people surrounded the monster, and it seemed like the best time to escape.

"Run?"

"No, this monster is definitely beyond the capabilities of these people to confront. It's only a matter of time before they are all killed. Once they die, the monster will definitely catch up to me. It was staring at me intently just now."

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and gritted his teeth. "Let's take a gamble."

He took out the summoning card and infused all his energy into it.

"Moo"

A dragon-like roar instantly resounded, and an illusory dragon shadow burst out from the summoning card, pouncing towards the imposing monster.

Bang.

A huge muffled sound, and the head, Wang Kuohai, spat out blood and flew backward.

The steel knife in his hand had been shattered by the monster's strike, leaving him full of despair.

The immense force landed on him, causing him to be injured and fly out.

At that moment, the mysterious dragon shadow had already reached the monster.

The monster let out a piercing roar, "Roar!"

Waving its claws, it reached out towards the dragon shadow, and the swiping claws created a terrifying sound as they cut through the air.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh

An astonishing thing happened; all its attacks missed.

The dragon shadow had no substance, like a phantom, and instantly struck the monster.

A twisted monkey phantom was pounced out from the monster's body by the Flood Dragon's shadow.

Slightly hovering in the air, it flew back into Li Qing's summoning card in a flash.

The monster, whose phantom had been grabbed by the Flood Dragon, began to collapse in a bizarre manner, as if its flesh was crumbling and collapsing to the ground.

All eyes were on Li Qing, their faces filled with horror.

The head, Wang Kuohai, also looked at Li Qing in astonishment.

He realized that he had encountered an extraordinary person.

At that moment, Li Qing looked at the gazes of the crowd, maintaining a calm expression that made him seem like a superior being.

Although he had saved the escort team, it was hard to say whether these people might have ill intentions towards him. After all, in the world of martial arts novels, there had been incidents where escort agencies robbed their clients.

It was difficult to predict how these people would treat a passerby like him.

Wang Kuohai, who had just climbed up from the ground, walked over with a grateful and solemn expression.

He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to Li Qing, "I am Wang Kuohai, the Chief Escort of the Tianxia Escort Agency in Yucheng. I am grateful for your life-saving grace."

At this moment, the other escorts also realized what had happened and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Thank you for saving our lives!"

In just a few breaths, three of their companions had died.

The team of 15 people was now reduced to 12, and the danger they faced left them feeling terrified.

Li Qing felt a slight relief in his heart. "Seems quite straightforward. I can get to know them."

With the summoning card hidden in his sleeve, he felt that, at the very least, he could use it one more time.

With a slight smile, he said, "You are too kind. I just did what I could. After all, this monster posed a danger beyond imagination."

At this point, Wang Kuohai quickly asked, "I don't know your name, but what should we do next?"

Li Qing looked at Wang Kuohai with a slightly strange expression.

"Why are you asking me? How would I know what you should do!" he muttered to himself.

Li Qing then said, "You can call me Qin San."
