364 ENCOUNTER WITH AN EMPEROR, FLEEING FOR LIFE

Li Meng began his hunt by killing off warriors from parties around the city. He began with the same party which orchestrated the last attack. The independent association was the group that was most divided in nature since they were a bunch of loose cultivators who had banded together to form a group.

He decided to first find a small group of cultivators. Hunting people individually was a huge headache and couldn’t be executed by normal means. He needed to band people together and hut in the group so that he has enough time before a proper response could be taken by the Mad-lions.

He decided to visit the local markets and city walls since these were the regions where there was a large possibility of getting some people who have been isolated from the rest of the population. To his surprise, he did manage to find some groups. Before the attack, Li Meng decided to use the masking artifacts which he had prepared beforehand.

He couldn’t take the risk of being discovered by the enemy and hence disguise was a good protective measure. He changed his face with a mask-type artifact and decided to wear protective helmet gear which would provide further coverage of his original face. He managed to locate a group of people who were busy drinking within the bars.

They had just exited from the pub and were heading towards the city gates. Fortunately for him, the group was not large and hence was perfect for his use. He went into a location that fell in the middle of the two destinations and began laying the traps. He took out some of his avatars and they decided to ambush the group.

The execution had to be carried out in silence as they couldn’t alert the city forces. When the group arrived at the location, and once li Meng and his avatar made certain that they were perfectly isolated, the execution was carried out swiftly. A confining array has been set up to isolate any voice. All that remained were the attacks.

All the avatars pounced at the group at the same time. As the group was mainly formed of initial Qi Kings, the execution was swift. They were wiped out in no time. Li Meng gathered the bodies and made sure that they had their plaques with them. It was necessary for the whole operation that the enemy identify them as being part of the city.

The first group is done for. Li Meng shifted the location after disarming the array. He didn’t bother to clean the location, as by the time it was discovered, the deed would already be done.

The next few groups were soon found in various isolated spaces. There were pubs, city corners, outside the city walls, near the border areas. It took half a day to get the required number of bodies for the operation. The cultivators were weaker members of the factions, but the incident was sure to cause huge turmoil. He decided to waste no more time and rushed towards the pre-planned destinations.

The first attack was carried out during the initial hours of the evening. As expected, the Mad-lions had increased their forces, but Li Meng was prepared. He had decided to use all his available avatars for eth operation, which meant unless the groups were comprised of purely peak Qi Kings, they were bound to be killed mercilessly.

The first location was extremely close to the northern area of the border region. This outpost was the single one established in this region since it was unlikely to be attacked by the enemy. Li Meng had chosen this spot because the Mad-lions would be sure to neglect it in their counter-measures.

After the killing was completed, the mutilated bodies of both bandits and the city cultivators were arranged in a very articulate manner to make it seem like they had been attacked by the city forces. Li Meng went out of his way to make the whole scene messy. After he was confident about his work he went to the next destination.

A total of three major outposts were chosen by Li Meng for this attack. The second outpost was a fairly important one, as it guarded the border towards the central part of the Taiwan mountains. The journey took some time, but Li Meng managed to arrive there. As expected, the Mad-lions had carried out some enhancements, but they had neglected this area too since it was in the opposite direction to the city.

Li Meng once again got to work and killed all the cultivators. The same procedure as earlier took place once again, but Li Meng allowed one of the bandits to escape since they had to report this to the main base. It would create a distraction for the Mad-lions to shift their attention here. The real target was in the opposite direction. Google search f𝗿𝙚e𝙬𝗲𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵ𝑒𝗹. 𝒄𝑜𝘮

Near the Mad-lions base-

“Open the gates. A guard is incoming.” The gatekeeper yelled. The gate was opened and a badly injured group of bandits made their way here.

“What happened?” The leader of the gatekeeper asked the man.

“The base has been attacked. There are several peak Qi Kings attacking. From the look of their uniforms, they are from the city. There might even be Qi Emperors among them since the base has already been wiped. They are making their way towards the base near to us.” The man hastily reported.

Soon enough, Lion Ti, the second brother, and a huge number of cultivators left for the location.

....................................

Near the Mad-lion base.

The spot for the third attack was an extremely dangerous one, as it would be aimed at the base which was nearest to the base of Mad-lions. Li Meng picked this place because he was ready to take the risk. He had decided to use the enhanced Qi bombs and eliminate the place as fast as possible. He didn’t have the time to mess this place up, as the Mad-lions would be instantly alerted.

On his way here, he saw a huge group from the Mad-lions rushing towards the base he recently attacked.

“Perfectly executed.” He began the next phase of his plan.

He rushed towards the last target. All the avatars came out holding a huge number of Qi bombs with them. Li Meng first decided to surround the location before making sure there were no bandits in the nearby area. To be confident, the keeper was asked to scan the surroundings.

“I don’t find any irregulating situations.”

“Let’s begin the attack then.” Li Meng signaled all his avatars to attack. All of them threw the Qi bombs towards the Hide-out while simultaneously unsheathing their weapons to kill the incoming bandits.

The attack began to blast the outpost apart, and bandits rushed out of there in a panic. Li Meng began the killing. Thankfully, there was only a single peak Qi Kings stationed here.

“I guess most of them were asked to verify the attacked outpost’s conditions.” Li Meng decided to ignore this fact. To his surprise though, a turn of events took place in the next few seconds.

Just as he finished with the clearing up, the attack arrived from sky-piercing through the forest region, blasting the whole location. Li Meng and his avatar blasted away. It took him some time to even get hold of a stable position. Just what sort of attack was this?

“Runaway. A power QI Emperor is attacking. He/she is someone who has connected with the heavenly law of Thunder for sure. The destructiveness of his attack is incredible.” The Keeper warned. Li Meng followed his instructions and began his retreat. He couldn’t confront a Qi Emperor who had connected with Heavenly laws.
