Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 245—Filial Piety! He was truly too filial!

Finally, one of the underlings couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Boss, can't you hope for something better? Maybe the sect leader will defeat that woman and save us!"

"Don't I know what level my dad is at? That woman is much stronger than my dad! She could definitely beat my dad to death!" Feng Ling said, somewhat annoyed.

He seemed to be afraid that Qian Lingyun wouldn't be able to kill his father...

Everyone exclaimed, "So filial! Absolutely too filial..."

……

On the other hand, Chongtianmen wasn't hard to find; Qian Lingyun saw the tall, golden signboard just half a street away.

Too lazy to fight her way in through the main entrance, Qian Lingyun opted for unparalleled infiltration.

Along the way, any living creature that Qian Lingyun and her head full of snake eyes could detect, whether it was a caged bird or a guard dog tied to a tree, was targeted.

Qian Lingyun showed no prejudice whatsoever, treating everyone equally in the face of death.

Just as Qian Lingyun was passing a corner in the courtyard, a maid with a bruised and swollen face walked towards her.

The maid instinctively cried for help upon seeing Qian Lingyun's unfamiliar face, but Qian Lingyun moved even faster, her five sharp fingers digging into the maid's neck.

The hooked nails left deep marks on the maid's neck, physically nipping her near scream in the bud.

"A Soul Master?" Qian Lingyun was slightly taken aback, and was about to slap him to silence him.

A snake-like hair on her forehead hissed softly and slammed its head viciously into Qian Lingyun's nose.

"Gulp! What's wrong with you? I was discovered while infiltrating, so what's wrong with me killing off a few witnesses?"

Qian Lingyun covered her nose and glared angrily at the little snake named Gulu that was swinging down. Her right hand was already firmly gripping the maid's neck. With just a little more force, she could send her to be reincarnated.

The little snake stuck out its tongue with a hostile expression, as if it were saying something.

"What did you say? She's a good person?" Qian Lingyun's gaze shifted back and forth between the little snake and the maid. In the end, Qian Lingyun pouted and tentatively agreed with the little snake's statement.

Judging from the white light above the maid's head, this girl can indeed be considered a good person.

Since she had never been here before and needed a guide, Qian Lingyun reluctantly spared the maid's life.

Qian Lingyun paused, deliberately adopting a fierce and menacing expression, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Whatever I say to you, you are only allowed to nod or shake your head. If you make a sound, I'll kill you, understand?"

The maid nodded, seemingly understanding Qian Lingyun's meaning. Upon seeing this, Qian Lingyun loosened her grip slightly.

After all, the maid's face had already turned purple; if she pinched her any longer, she might really die.

Qian Lingyun scratched one of the restless snake hairs with her finger and continued to ask, "Do you know where Feng Buqun lives?"

The maid nodded first, then shook her head.

"Nod if you know, shake your head if you don't. What's the meaning of this back and forth?" Qian Lingyun asked, frowning.

The maid was also anxious, and she still nodded first and then shook her head, but this time, she used sign language.

This chaotic series of actions left Qian Lingyun completely bewildered. She sighed softly and said, "Fine, just say something!"

Upon hearing this, the maid breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained:

"I know where Feng Buqun is, but he's not at his residence; he's in the cellar!"

"A cellar?! Going to the cellar in broad daylight!" Qian Lingyun's lips twitched, thinking to herself, [This old man is just like his son, doing this in broad daylight. But it doesn't matter, he won't have this chance after he dies anyway.]

Thinking it over, Qian Lingyun pulled the maid aside and asked, "You know where the cellar is, right? Lead the way!"

The maid clearly mistook Qian Lingyun for a beautiful female thief who had broken into the house, and asked hesitantly, "Feng Buqun is a Soul Master who is close to level eight. Are you sure you want to go find him?"

It sounds impressive, but it's really just a level seven.

Qian Lingyun smiled slightly, and even the little snakes above her head hissed in unison. She hooked her fingernails under the maid's chin and sneered, "Isn't that just a seventh ring?"

"I'll kill him like I'd kill a dog. Lead the way!"

"Yes," the maid replied. She had barely taken three steps when she knelt down before Qian Lingyun, rolling up her sleeves and trousers to reveal large bruises and whip marks. Tears welled in her eyes as she said:

"Since we're going to kill that old scoundrel, could you please, my benefactor—no, my benefactor's wife—help me by slashing him a few more times when you kill him?"

"Okay, but don't call me 'Grandma,' it sounds awful," Qian Lingyun nodded, agreeing.

People are going to be killed eventually, and making others laugh is just a matter of her talking, so why wouldn't she do it?

"Please follow me." The maid hurriedly got up and led Qian Lingyun to the woods to the left of a simple wooden building.

"That's the cellar?" Qian Lingyun looked at the smoky building and the two slovenly guards at the entrance, somewhat puzzled. "It looks just like an ordinary house!"

"Um... my benefactor, you may not know this," the maid instinctively began, about to utter the word, but quickly corrected herself by explaining:

"This cellar isn't a real cellar; it's just a semi-underground structure converted from an abandoned soul tool manufacturing center!"

Looking at the maid who knew this place so well, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but feel suspicious. She couldn't help but ask, "How do you, a maid, know so much?"

The maid's face stiffened. She smiled bitterly and opened her collar, revealing a branding mark on her chest. "Because I escaped from here."

After a brief examination of the mark, Qian Lingyun asked, "Does everyone have this?"

"No, only those who are pulled out to be maids have that; most others don't!" the maid replied in a low voice.

"Okay, I got it, squat down."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun took out a long, thin, golden-red cannon barrel that was three meters long but only as thick as an arm from her storage soul tool.

She placed the gold-red cannon barrel on the maid's shoulder.

At this distance, she didn't even need a scope; she could simply rely on her eyesight to aim at the overlapping figures not far away.

What she was carrying was a level 7 piercing cannon.

The Piercing Cannon is the most powerful single-target destructive type of soul-guided cannon.

To be precise, it should be called a soul-guided ray. It's just that because of its immense power, it's also known as a cannon. Generally, only a very small number of soul masters use this kind of piercing cannon; it requires manual aiming and consumes a great deal of soul power. However, its attack range is extremely long.

The biggest drawback of the piercing cannon is that it cannot lock on or track targets.

However, its power is extremely terrifying; even some invincible shields cannot withstand the attack of the piercing cannon.

The best way to deal with a piercing cannon is to dodge. Take advantage of its inability to lock on to its target.

This kind of straightforward approach is specifically designed for tackling tough challenges.

Qian Lingyun using it to hit people only shows that... it's a waste of its potential.

With a whoosh, a golden-red beam, only the thickness of a finger, shot out from the cannon muzzle, and a small hole, about the size of a thumb, appeared simultaneously at the heart of the two guards.

The golden-red light disappeared completely after passing through more than a dozen buildings.

Seeing the two corpses fall to the ground with a thud, Qian Lingyun handed the piercing cannon in her hand to a maid and instructed, "Watch over this cannon for me, I'll be right back!"
