Chapter 389: Chapter 286: The Light from the Righteous Path_3

"I still suggest that the best strategy is to undermine Qingshi Town from within by dividing and conquering its internal forces one by one."

Niu Sanda nodded slightly, he favored that girl with the pointed ears even more, "Tell their Great Witch, offering up these two girls would be worth a hundred strong men!"

This was an open and honest stratagem to undermine morale!

To stir up conflict between the families of the two girls and the families of a hundred able-bodied men would divide the people’s loyalty.

Before the words had ended, another voice rang out, "I... I surrender!"

Comrade Li Qingshan, with a basket in hand, slowly stepped forward, "Sir, I wish to surrender and offer up food in exchange for my family’s safety!"

"That... that girl is my childhood sweetheart, we were innocent lovers and newlyweds, yet to bear children. Sir, you can’t take her away!"

Li Qingshan’s acting was ridiculously poor, as if he was reciting a script in a stiff manner, feeling somewhat embarrassed midway through.

However, with the appearance of a surrenderer, all the militia glared with wide eyes and cursed loudly, "Who is this man?" "He’s a refugee who fled from the outside!" "He surrenders over a single woman!" "Damn it, we shouldn’t have taken in refugees!"

A few with quicker reactions, armed with hoes and pitchforks, went back into the town yelling, "Find that woman and kill her! We absolutely cannot surrender!"

Pan Hao internally lamented, knowing that when these villagers got irritable, they were indeed capable of rising up to kill.

Only a few were privy to the real explosion plan. The ordinary town residents could not possibly know, or else there might be a risk of a leak.

He could only use the Conch Headphones to tell the two girls to quickly hide inside the Temple of the Pox Goddess.

"We are hiding in the temple already, they wouldn’t dare to come in," Feng Ling said through the Conch Headphones. "Take care of yourselves next."

Luckily, the tirade and commotion helped cover up Li Qingshan’s terrible acting.

As Li Qingshan neared, the tension among Pan Hao and his companions naturally grew tight.

"I wonder if we can succeed."

"If we fail, we’ll have to run, and even that temple might not be safe," Lu Tianming said quietly. "If that happens, we’ll flee towards Fenghua City, where I have the Recruitment Order."

Upon seeing someone surrender, the "Water Ghost Pirates" rejoiced internally.

Although they were confident about defeating the militia of Qingshi Town, who would prefer to win without suffering harm?

After all, Qingshi Town had over a thousand residents, and if each one fought back desperately at the point of death, clamping down fiercely, even their strong forces could suffer heavy losses.

But with the first surrenderer’s appearance, the morale inside the town wavered, inevitably leading to a second and third surrenderer, with morale plummeting rapidly.

"Good! I’ll satisfy your request, offer up the food, and spare your family, as well as your newlywed wife!" declared the leader, Niu Sanda, with a wave of his large hand; he was tall and sturdy, just like an ox.

Such promises were empty words – how could they possibly give up such beauties?

Once victory was assured, they would kill this weakling and take his newlywed wife, conquering her day and night – wouldn’t that be delightful?

However, just then, a sudden intuition struck Second Master, who shouted loudly, "Wait! Come over here, let us check to see if the basket really contains food?"

"Alright... alright... I’ll do it now."

Li Qingshan obediently picked up the big basket, step by step, slowly moving forward.

Atop the basket was a layer of rice flour.

Beneath the rice flour was filled with explosives—Incendiary Bombs made from Strange Objects!

But Second Master, being a seasoned rogue, had a premonition. He was extremely cautious, designating the handover spot a hundred meters away from the main force.

He even sent only two bumpkins to count the supplies, unwilling to go himself.

"This distance... is not enough." Li Qingshan thought grimly, moving slowly forward, "I’ll have to charge!"

Behind him, the militia team was still shouting loudly. Everyone knew that a surrender would greatly undermine morale.

Some even considered using bows and arrows.

...

The two bumpkins, tasked with counting, were poor Scholars who had sided with the bandits, with sly and sneaky looks, flaunting their power: "Count right here. Put down the basket, let’s see what’s inside. If there’s anything missing, we can’t assure your requests!"

Li Qingshan carried the basket and strode straight past.

"Hey, where do you think you’re going?"

One of them hurriedly tried to grab him.

In that moment, Li Qingshan quickened his steps, knocking the two bumpkins flying.

Holding the basket, he charged like a wild bull!

"What’s happening?"

Second Master’s sense of crisis surged, and seeing Li Qingshan charging at him, his eyes widened as he roared, "It’s an assassin... kill him! Quickly, kill him!"

With that command, hundreds of blue-skinned humanoid monsters launched an attack at Li Qingshan.

Dust billowed and noise erupted!

Li Qingshan sprang into action.

The elders and gentry of Qingshi Town were sweating profusely in anxiety.

The militia, who had been shouting from the rear, also fell silent.

Pan Hao and his companions, knowing the critical moment had come, shouted, "Close your eyes! Close your eyes!! Get down! Stop looking!"

"Close your eyes! Shut your goddamn eyes and get down! It’s our strategy!"

In the blink of an eye, the first group of humanoid monsters, the "Water Ghosts," had made contact with Li Qingshan.

The cold claws scratched through clothes, bringing a sense of deadly intent to the skin’s surface.

Their strength was tremendous, their speed fast, running on all fours, each comparable to a hundred-meter sprinter.

One strike from their sharp and strong claws and fangs could shatter a person’s spine.

But as Li Qingshan sprinted forward, he activated "Bullet Time," making time seem to slow down.

Dozens of "Water Ghosts" surrounded him, and under their assault, he almost stood no chance of surviving.

So, the next instant, he bellowed, unleashing the Monster Power Skill, with his muscles rapidly swelling in size.

With all his might, he hurled the basket like a hand grenade, fiercely throwing it forward.

"Hiyah!"

Die for me!
