Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1397 635: When Did That Happen? (Part 4)
Previously on Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'...
Home Cultivation restrains Thief Cultivation; the Home Cultivation stationed at the doorstep is not afraid of a Thief Cultivator stealing things.
Family Treasures Self-Counting is the pillar technique of Home Cultivation, and it is also the skill Li Banfeng is best at. The Silk-pulling Earrings are part of Li Banfeng's family. Even if they end up in Xiao Qianshou's sleeves, they can still sense each other and fight together.
Xiao Qianshou was very surprised but not angry; he planned to destroy these earrings immediately.
But he was uncertain about the level of these earrings. If he couldn't destroy them, it would give Li Qi a chance to strike, and that would be a loss.
Ancestor Master, facing the enemy, has countless responses.
Xiao Qianshou concealed himself again using Shadowless Come and Go, as if he hadn't noticed the smoke coming from his sleeve.
Not long after, a cloud of smoke spurted out from his sleeve. Li Banfeng turned to glance at Xiao Qianshou, took a step, and sprinted away.
Bang!
The trash can at the street corner exploded, sending packaging boxes, water bottles, and shredded paper flying everywhere.
Xiao Qianshou also saw the smoke in his sleeve. This time he was prepared. He used Stealing Pillars and Replacing Beams ahead of time to swap places with the trash can.
Li Banfeng felt danger approaching, and Xiao Qianshou took the opportunity to arrive at his side.
Gloves exclaimed: "Everyone, be careful!"
No one knew what Xiao Qianshou intended to steal, not even Gloves could discern Xiao Qianshou's intentions.
Xiao Qianshou extended his left hand towards Li Banfeng's chest; he wanted to steal the technique.
He grabbed at air this time; Li Banfeng reacted quickly, avoiding it with Carefree Freedom Technique.
On the second attempt, Xiao Qianshou reached his right hand toward Li Banfeng's neck. This time it seemed not to steal but to take his life.
Li Banfeng couldn't use the Carefree Technique continuously in such a short time. In desperation, he again reached into his right pocket.
Xiao Qianshou laughed out loud, suddenly turning his right hand towards Li Banfeng's pocket too: "What good thing is it? Give it to me!"
With this laugh, Li Banfeng laughed along, falling for the Laughing Cultivation Technique, experiencing Universal Celebration, his hand movements clearly slowed down.
When Traveling Cultivation and Thief Cultivation spar, speed is critical for both. Li Banfeng grasped the item, unable to pull it out, and it was stolen by Xiao Qianshou.
With the instinct of a Thief Cultivator, Xiao Qianshou knew this item was valuable.
It was a broken test tube, the liquid inside had already flowed out, sticky.
Xiao Qianshou froze for a moment and asked, "What is this?"
Li Banfeng looked at the sticky liquid on his hand and answered frankly, "A good thing."
The test tube was crushed by Li Banfeng, and the liquid inside stained both of them.
This was a potion Cui Tiq prepared for Du Wenming, indeed a good thing, especially for Du Wenming. It was a life-saving straw.
But for others, it was a lethal pathogen.
Small rashes emerged on the two men's hands, Xiao Qianshou's face twisted, while Li Banfeng remained calm.
"Come, let's continue fighting!" Li Banfeng clapped Gloves, asking him to keep an eye on his belongings.
Can Gloves manage?
Even Gloves was unsure, but Li Banfeng trusted him.
Li Banfeng wrestled empty-handed with Xiao Qianshou; Xiao Qianshou now had no heart for fighting Li Banfeng, his mind full of rashes.
In the Outside Provinces, he had offended Zhou Badou and Li Qi. In the Inner State, he had offended the Peddler, Sun Tiecheng, and He Jiaqing.
Being at odds with people is no fear; who in Jianghu doesn't have a few enemies?
But with strength unreturned and entangled in epidemic diseases, things can become problematic.
Xiao Qianshou slashed several times, using a ring on his left hand to slice through his right arm along the elbow.
Even a slight hesitation could allow the pathogen to spread throughout the body. At this critical moment, Xiao Qianshou could be ruthless with himself, showcasing an Ancestor Master's knowledge and decisiveness!
Li Banfeng pierced one of the rashes, flicking the pus onto Xiao Qianshou's left hand.
Xiao Qianshou gritted his teeth, another hand under his right rib reached for the ring and chopped off the left hand as well.
The hand under his right rib was Xiao Qianshou's own hand.
After painstaking efforts, Xiao Qianshou reclaimed three hands, losing them all in one night.
If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed already, but an Ancestor Master's resilience is different, Xiao Qianshou could withstand it, for he was someone who could regain his life from a Peddler!
During the skirmish, the blisters on Li Banfeng's body burst one after another, splashing onto Xiao Qianshou's face.
"You person..." Xiao Qianshou didn't know how to evaluate Li Banfeng.
Seeing Li Banfeng full of rashes, the spread of the disease had deepened significantly.
If it dragged on like this, both would exhaust each other to death.
Xiao Qianshou in no way wanted to die with Li Qi; fighting was not Xiao Qianshou's forte, but no one could match his escape tactics.
After a few more exchanges, Xiao Qianshou's figure flickered and vanished once more.
Li Banfeng glanced at the Dark Star Bureau Building and abandoned the pursuit idea.
Can't be fooled; that Bird Person was just delaying time.
Li Banfeng picked up Xiao Qianshou's two hands from the ground, put them into his Portable Residence, and retrieved the Silk-pulling Earrings from his sleeve.
"Master, I was terrified." The Silk-pulling Earrings burrowed into Li Banfeng's embrace.
The Phonograph looked at Li Banfeng covered in rashes: "Beloved husband, why are you covered in an epidemic?"
Li Banfeng used the High Pillow Worry-Free Skill to quickly expel the disease: "Beloved wife, I just sparred a couple of moves with Xiao Qianshou. If only I could have used Close Doors and Shut Windows, or Expanded Territory and Open Borders, certainly wouldn't have let the old thing run away!"
The Phonograph wrapped Li Banfeng with a cloud of steam: "Beloved husband, Xiao Qianshou strikes too fast, executing technique in front of him is not an easy thing. Husband, take a good look, didn't lose anything?"
