Hao Shuang is a man who does things decisively and never procrastinates.
He said that he would bring all the troops to kill Li Zhong, so he brought all the troops to kill him.
A mighty force of more than a hundred men from the Four Tiger Gang followed, and they wiped out the evildoers of the Li family in one go, and took over the Li family's old house in the process.
"Puff", Li Zhong and Hao Shuang exchanged for ten moves, and Li Zhong was knocked back by a palm, spitting blood and looking very weak.
"Hmph, you are running out of energy and are no match for me. Just prepare to die!" Hao Shuang was very disdainful.
With just a simple collision, before he even used any strength, he had already discovered Li Zhong's weak nature.
This is not surprising. Some time ago, the strong men of their Four Tigers Gang went to fight for interests, but not all of their subordinates died.
Even if they didn't fight Li Zhong head-on, they would have already drained Li Zhong dry if they took turns to fight him.
Li Zhong has already reached the end of his strength!
"How loyal! A man in his prime with great potential, but he squeezes his potential to the limit just for a favor. How foolish!" Hao Shuang said sarcastically.
"Since you refuse to retreat even if you die, I will let you get what you want!"
Hao Shuang is not stupid enough to show mercy. Cutting the grass at its roots is the basic operation.
Li Zhong was like duckweed in the wind, swaying left and right under Hao Shuang's continuous attacks.
But his sharp gaze remained unchanged.
That will is touching.
Behind Li Zhong, a little girl who looked a little haggard was holding an even younger child.
They looked at the Four Tigers Gang members with despair, grief, anger and hatred.
No one from the Four Tigers Gang avoided their gazes, all of them exuding a bloodthirsty and cold aura.
"Go to hell!" Hao Shuang slapped Li Zhong on the top of his head. The palm that shattered rocks and cracked walls was enough to make Li Zhong's brain burst.
call out!
A stone pierced through Hao Shuang's palm and fell onto the wall of Li's mansion, creating a bowl-sized gap.
Like flowers scattering from heaven, hundreds of small stones flew from behind the Sihu Gang.
In an instant, the hundreds of surrounding Four Tiger Gang members were shot to death.
No one wailed, they were all killed in the first place.
For a while, the gate of Li's mansion was littered with corpses. Some had a piece of their head missing, some had a big hole in their chest that went through from front to back, and quite a few had been blown apart from the abdomen down.
Blood was flowing and the air was filled with a foul smell.
The still boiling blood flowed out of the body, and even a blood-colored mist rose.
Zhang Shen was walking towards them from a distance. His indifferent expression and the broken limbs and corpses at his feet made him look like a god or demon.
Hao Shuang covered his bleeding palm and looked at Zhang Shen who was walking towards him with trembling hands.
He was so frightened that he was trembling and speechless.
Zhang Shen ignored Hao Shuang. He looked at Li Zhong who was vomiting blood with an unclear expression.
"Your five internal organs are empty, your essence is dried up, tsk tsk, you are just a skeleton."
How could Zhang Shen not see that the guy in front of him, with a haggard appearance, rough skin, wrinkles all over his body, white hair and beard, who looked older than a centenarian, was actually a strong man in his thirties or forties.
With a deep sigh, Zhang Shen looked at this loyal servant who risked his life and blood for the Li family and asked.
“Is it worth it?”
Li Zhong did not answer, but got up and implicitly protected his sister and brother behind him.
Actions speak louder than words.
Zhang Shen nodded and tapped with two fingers, sealing Li Zhong's meridians. Li Zhong fell to the ground unconscious without any defense.
Li Zhao and Li Wu were startled and rushed over, using their small bodies to protect Li Zhong.
"You are not allowed to hurt Uncle Zhong!" Li Zhao was only twelve years old.
He shouted to Zhang Shen, who was like a god or a devil, trembling all over.
The shrill voice was full of anxious tears and stubbornness, and was obviously forced out from the throat.
"He's not dead, he's just unconscious."
"However, in order to protect you, he forcibly stimulated the potential of his body, and his essence was almost dried up. He won't live for much longer."
Tears were rolling in the eyes of the two little ones, but they held them back.
"Let's make a deal. I can save him, but from now on he will no longer be a servant of your Li family, but will become my subordinate!"
Zhang Shen truly admires such loyal and righteous people.
And in Zhang Shen's opinion, this deal couldn't be more perfect.
As for Li Zhong’s own opinion
As long as the Li sisters give up, he has a hundred ways to make this person loyal to him.
Li Zhao was stunned for a moment. Zhang Shen's proposal made the young girl a little overwhelmed.
Even though she performed exceptionally well, she was still just a little girl.
She wanted to save Li Zhong, but give up on him
"To us, Uncle Zhong is already a family member, not a slave! I can't make the decision for him."
Zhang Shen was a little disappointed. People like Li Zhong who are loyal to their master will never abandon him as long as his master doesn't leave them. He was very stupid and unreasonable.
He could foresee that Li Zhong would definitely reject his proposal.
Even if Li Zhao did not treat Li Zhong as a slave, he did not mind Li Zhong working for others. As long as Li Zhao and his sister did not abandon him, Li Zhong would never be loyal to others.
"What a pity, what a pity." Zhang Shen said "what a pity" twice. Li Zhao mistakenly thought that Zhang Shen did not get the answer he wanted and was unwilling to treat Li Zhong.
"Plop." Li Zhao quickly knelt down in front of Zhang Shen.
"Senior, you said you can save Uncle Zhong, are you serious?" Li Zhao was not an idiot. She was the legitimate daughter of a martial arts family. Referring to the training Zhang Shen had received, she knew very well what it meant to squeeze potential and dry up the origin.
That is an intractable disease that cannot be cured in the entire Black Iron City.
"Yes, I do have a way to cure him." Although Li Zhong might not join his army, it would be a pity to kill such a loyal and righteous man, so Zhang Shen planned to cure him.
Besides, he came here with the intention of repaying the kindness of Master Li Yan.
After only a few encounters, Zhang Shen had confirmed that the surviving members of the Li family, Li Zhao and Li Wu, were both doing well.
Then it wouldn't hurt for him to take care of one or two.
But Li Zhao's actions made Zhang Shen smell a hint of benefit, so he remained calm and did not reveal his true thoughts.
After hearing what Zhang Shen said, Li Zhao felt relieved, although he had struggled for a while.
He said with a firm look in his eyes: "Senior, I cannot be the boss of Uncle Zhong."
"But I am willing to exchange the Li family's secret treasure for the opportunity to save Uncle Zhong."
Secret treasure
Could it be something left behind by Master Li Yan
Zhang Shen remains expectant.
But it doesn't matter if it's not something very good.
This move itself is just going with the flow, and anything you get is a pleasant surprise.
He slapped Hao Shuang, who was standing there in a daze, and broke his limbs, then pinched his vocal cords, and dragged Hao Shuang into Li's mansion like a dead dog.
"Bring Li Zhong in and close the door." After saying this, Zhang Shen had no worries about whether the twelve-year-old Li Zhao and the seven-year-old Li Wu could do these things.
As a descendant of a martial arts family, the seven-year-old Li Wu has still reached the limits of the mundane world.
His body is full of muscles, and Li Wu can beat up an ordinary adult with one punch.
Li Zhao's muscle texture was better. After she broke through to become a martial artist, her swollen muscles disappeared, leaving only a little bit of the wheel.
The outline is smaller, but the power is several times greater.
Not to mention, the twelve-year-old Li Zhao had already mastered the third level of acquired cultivation. Closing the door? It was just a piece of cake.
Both little guys were not born in ordinary families.
Otherwise, the scene of hundreds of members of the Four Tigers Gang being killed and corpses strewn all over the ground would have frightened an ordinary child, who already had some understanding of life and death, into unconsciousness or died of fright.
But Li Zhao and Li Wu just felt relieved!
This is the person who has been trained since childhood in a warrior family. His character, will, and knowledge are all different from others.
A house in the Li Mansion.
Li Zhao presented a brocade box with both hands.
Zhang Shen took the brocade box, which was an ordinary wooden box that was worn and dirty. Inside it was just an ordinary book and an ancient token.
The great hide in the city.
Who would have thought that the Li family's secret treasure would be placed in a box like this? And the appearance is so ordinary
Zhang Shen was not in a hurry to explore. He took the thing in his hand and tasted it.
"Aren't you afraid that I might deny taking the things, or that I might come here just for this thing?"
Li Zhao's expression remained unchanged as he whispered, "My Li family is now an orphan and a widow, and all we want is to survive. As for other things, we dare not covet them."
Zhang Shen understood. Li Zhao obviously knew that the Li family was now just fish on the chopping board, and anyone with a little strength could come and get a piece of the meat.
All they could do was to protect themselves.
And he, Zhang Shen, immediately killed the four members of the Tiger Gang who were making things difficult for them.
In this way, even if Zhang Shen had some plans, as long as they, their siblings and Li Zhong could survive, it would be much better than facing the Four Tigers Gang.
"What a smart child." Zhang Shen praised.
"Go and guard the door for me."
Li Zhao bowed deeply, stood up and left.
Zhang Shen looked at the two people lying on the ground.
An unconscious Li Zhong and Hao Shuang with twisted limbs and despair in his eyes.
"Don't worry, it will be quick and you won't die in pain." Zhang Shen comforted Hao Shuang.
Li Zhong's situation is very troublesome, and his origin has been severely damaged.
If it was the Zhang Shen of the past, he really would have no way to deal with it, and even ordinary Zhendan warriors would not be able to solve it.
But the magical power of "body control" that Zhang Shen comprehended can just solve Li Zhong's troubles.
"If you lose your essence, you can just make it up."
"Using mine to fill the gap will cause too much damage to me. After all, this is not just a matter of vitality, it is something more fundamental."
"But filling the gap with someone with a similar level of cultivation is almost enough."
Zhang Shen placed his hand on Hao Shuang.
The magical power was activated, and strands of origin and vitality in Hao Shuang's body gathered towards Zhang Shen's palm.
Speechless, Hao Shuang only felt that something extremely important was being pulled out of his body, and boundless panic swept through his heart.
It was visible to the naked eye that Hao Shuang's entire body became shriveled and thin.
Until finally the entire skin began to turn into sand.
"Tsk tsk, so overbearing and evil."
Looking at Hao Shuang who died with his eyes open, Zhang Shen had no doubt that if anyone saw him acting like this, they would definitely classify him as an evil warrior.
However, Zhang Shen will only use this method of body control when he has enough time.
This process of extracting the vitality of others and, in turn, their origin, takes too long.
It's completely useless in combat.
Hao Shuang waved his hand and a gust of wind took away the turned sand, leaving only some traces of white ash on the ground.
In his hand, there was a ball of liquid emitting bright light.
