Knife splashing

Chapter 139 Teach you again!
"Red Fist?"

Yao San's eyes turned cold, "Turns out he's a fool."

He was originally a bit cautious. After all, Li Yan was the core of the opposing group of warlocks, and he had also called on experts for help.

Li Hu didn't have the ability and connections to do this back then.

It's definitely not as simple as the intelligence says.

Therefore, even though he had the jade plate to protect him, he still used his wits to start by telling Li Yan about his past and trying to lure him into a sword fight.

If the weapon is destroyed, you can only use magic.

He had seen sorcerers use magic before, and had even killed several of them. Now that the two sides were close to each other, it was too late to use any magic.

He escaped from the death row, and although he had to risk his life because he was controlled by Xiong Baodong's poison, he cherished his life more than anyone else.

After all, only by surviving can you have a chance.

But Li Yan did not use any magic, but instead showed his fists, which made him feel ridiculous and a little disappointed at the same time.

He's not a master of boxing.

What's the difference between using boxing to fight a knife and seeking death?

Thinking of this, Yao San was too lazy to say anything more. He exerted his hidden strength under his feet and waved his arms at the same time, trying to cut the Gordian knot and kill Li Yan completely.

Li Yan also stepped forward, his hidden strength bursting out, his throat, chest and abdomen vibrated, and he uttered the mantra "Hum" like thunder.

This was beyond Yao San's expectations.

Li Yan's Leiyin was unable to hurt anyone yet, but the close distance now made Yao San's heart tremble. He thought that the other party was using magic, so he hesitated when drawing his sword.

At the same time, Li Yan's fist momentum changed from small and tricky punches to large and wide chopping and hooking punches, and he wiped his right palm upwards.

Mrs. Li's words seemed to still echo in my mind:

"Huo Da is fire, like fire rushing up, to break and chop!"

Yao San chopped down with his right knife, and there was no doubt that it was a palm strike.

Li Yan changed his tactics and just caught the distance.

Bang!
With a dull sound, Yao San's right wrist was hit directly by Li Yan. Although the knife did not fall out of his hand, his arm was raised, leaving an open door.

Li Yan took advantage of the situation and wiped it with his left hand.

Clang!
The knife in his hand flashed.

Hidden knife?

Yao San sneered and was about to retreat with his knife.

Li Hu's hidden dagger can scare others but not him. He is just using his reputation to force people to be on guard, and it can be easily broken.

However, before he could move, his whole body froze and fear appeared in his eyes.

He could feel a cold force penetrating directly into his body, the chains rattling in his ears, and his consciousness became fuzzy.

In this short moment, Li Yan pressed his chest with his left hand and waved it at the same time.

Ding!
The Bagua jade plate hanging around Yao San's neck shattered at the same time.

Li Yan sneered, quickly stepped back, and clasped his fists slightly.
"The Li family has a hidden knife in their sleeves!"

This is certainly not a hidden weapon.

The moment the move was made, the soul-catching rope had already penetrated the opponent's body.

As soon as the soul-catching rope came out, the opponent's soul was restrained and naturally he could not move, so he was easily stabbed through the heart by the knife in his sleeve.

As for the opponent's protective jade plate, it can protect against attacks from evil spirits, but the soul-catching rope is different. It can lock the soul once it penetrates the body.

The soul-catching rope will have to be used sooner or later. Instead of letting others guess and find out the roots and flaws, it is better to hide it in the sleeve knife move.

He had tried this thing before, and it was impossible to detect it with ordinary magical powers.

At this time, Yao San's spirit was no longer suppressed, and his consciousness was clear again. He looked down at his heart that was bleeding, his face full of resentment, his breath was weak, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"You, this is not a hidden knife..."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Only those who survive have the right to speak, didn't I say that..."

"I'll teach you this again!"

Although Yao San wanted to speak, his consciousness quickly became blurred. He fell to the ground with a thud and was completely motionless.

Li Yan then turned around, picked up the twisted Guanshan knife, cursed inwardly, looked at the two knives on the ground, picked them up and carried them away.

The material of this thing is extraordinary. It will definitely be useful if I reforge it.

As for the broken jade plate gossip, he ignored it.

Just like what Hong Yaksha said, there are some things, no matter you pick them up, buy them, or even if they fall from the sky, you will not be able to keep them in peace as long as the original owner is not dead.

It's like this at all times.

Xiong Baodong values ​​this jade pendant very much. He regards it as a treasure to deal with the sorcerer. If he takes it, the sorcerer will definitely not give in and will gather together to demand it back.

It would be better to destroy it and let the other party suffer a loss.

……

"Won?!"

In the distance, Mr. Lu was a little surprised.

He didn't expect to win so easily.

"Oh, how did you win?"

Tie Shigu next to him was also a little curious.

He knew that Yao San, although only at the peak of the dark power level, had sharp swordsmanship and was cunning and vicious, and countless fighters of the same level had died at his hands.

Moreover, even with Xiong Baodong's personal charm, he couldn't kill people with magic...

Only Mr. Lu can see here, so naturally he has to ask.

Lu Gongfeng was also puzzled: "Brother Li seemed to have used a short knife in his left hand, which was quite fast. Yao San couldn't dodge it at all."

"It's a hidden knife!"

Sha Lifei immediately shouted, "That's the Li family's unique martial art. Back then, Li Hu's hidden sword was so powerful that it shocked Guanzhong. Haven't you heard of it?"

Mr. Lu was stunned and shook his head slightly.

He knew about the affairs of the Xuanmen, but was not clear about the ways of the martial arts world.

"A hidden knife?"

Tie Shigu was a little bit unbelievable.

Of course he knew what the hidden knife was.

"Yeah, hidden knife!"

Sharifei nodded affirmatively.

On the other side, Xiong Baodong's face was extremely gloomy. He turned around and whispered to the person beside him: "Go and get the things back."

"Yes, Gang Leader."

A man left quickly.

At the same time, Li Yan also came back.

Seeing the two knives in his hands, Xiong Baodong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Boy, you can take the knives, but what about my things?"

Li Yan pretended to be confused, "What is that?"

"Jade pendant!"

Xiong Baodong said in a deep voice: "Bagua Evil-Suppressing Jade, if you dare to take that thing, don't leave today!"

"Oh~"

Li Yan suddenly realized and said with a look of regret: "Yao San's swordsmanship is too fast. When we were fighting, the thing had already been broken..."

"What, it's broken!"

Xiong Baodong suddenly took a few steps forward, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He had always been bickering before, but now that he was angry, he was just like an old bear coming out of a cave, with a ferocious aura rushing towards me.

"Xiong Baodong, what do you want to do!"

Tie Shigu roared, stood in front of Li Yan, and cursed: "Damn it, go to the arena to compete, swords and spears are blind, didn't you see how many magic weapons were destroyed tonight, do you think they have to hide?"

"How can you be so shameless!"

Xiong Baodong was about to speak, but his whole body froze.

The wind and snow were howling all around, the torches were swaying, and the shadows of people flickering on the snow. It seemed normal.

But he felt a cold murderous intent enveloping him.

At the same time, the pungent smell of blood spread.

Li Yan sniffed and said with a smile: "Senior, the fight has been won. I am really sorry that you made such a wasted trip."

Beside Xiong Baodong, a dark shadow flickered on the ground, and a man suddenly appeared, as if he had walked out of the shadows of the Fire Bear Gang. He was wearing a black robe, a blood-red mask on his face, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, like a ghost in the dark night.

Clang clang!
"who?!"

"Protect the gang leader!"

The members of the Fire Bear Gang were startled and drew their weapons.

However, the black shadow turned a blind eye to the swords and knives around him, and just said coldly: "Something unexpected happened, and I couldn't help it, so I'm late..."

Xiong Baodong's eyelids twitched and the hair on his back stood on end. He had been secretly gathering strength, and his muscles were tense as if they were made of steel.

He had been in Chang'an for many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a killer.

Li Yan could smell the extremely unstable breath of the other party, guessing that there might be something wrong with his technique, so he said apologetically: "It's all because of my inconsiderateness. The matter here is over, senior, go back and have a rest. I will come to thank you another day."

"Ah."

The black-clothed man "Shadow" nodded, flashed back into the darkness, and his aura disappeared, leaving only the faint smell of blood that quickly faded away.

"It's an escape technique..."

Lu Gongfeng had just stared at this, and now he swallowed his saliva, "I'm afraid this person is not from Chang'an Road?"

Li Yan had no idea, so he pretended not to hear it.

Xiong Baodong on the opposite side also breathed a sigh of relief, his face turned grim, and he turned around and left without saying anything more.

"Return the things. The Fire Bear Gang accepts the loss of today's incident!"

Liu Wenchen naturally did not dare to disobey, and directly took off a long package from his back and threw it over, "Here are the things, and from now on we owe each other nothing!"

After saying that, he turned around and trotted along, following Xiong Baodong.

Looking at the figures of the group going away, Sharifei muttered: "Damn it, this old bear is insidious and cunning, he will definitely cause trouble in the future."

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to come openly!"

Tie Shigu shook his head slightly, looked at Li Yan, and said meaningfully: "Little brother Li, I have informed Zhang Laogui about this matter, and he will naturally tell the president of the Divine Fist."

"Xiong Baodong, we don't dare to tear each other apart yet. Before some things are settled, anyone who makes a fuss will be in trouble."

Li Yan understood instantly, "Senior, I understand."

The current president of Changan Shenquan is surnamed Li.

It's not him, Li.
But it’s the Li in the Governor Li Siyuan!

Also, there is still something strange about the fight tonight.

Feng Feiyan is a secret agent of the Duwei Division. She seems to be overly enthusiastic about this duel. I'm afraid it's not just because of her relationship with Red Yaksha...

Xiong Baodong hid so many evil cultivators, but the Law Enforcement Hall didn't take any action?
When Shen Sanyou made his move, the words he said seemed to be aimed at the Shangshan lineage...

Thinking of this, Li Yan looked at the ancient city in the wind and snow in the distance.

The water in Chang'an City is quite deep...

…………

The next day, Lanlingfang, Li Mansion.

"Hahaha, I won!"

Li Shiqing strode into the courtyard, stroked his beard and smiled at Madam Li, "Madam, don't worry. Last night, that kid fought with others and won three games in a row. The Fire Bear Gang was defeated and retreated."

"Oh."

Madam Li was watering the flowers. Upon hearing this, she nodded calmly and said, "In this world of martial arts, there is no end to winning and losing. Just stay alive."

"I finally taught a disciple, but he was beaten to death. I can't do anything about it. By the way, you rarely interact with Xuanmen, how did you know?"

Li Shiqing smiled and said, "It spread all over Chang'an early this morning. People were talking about it in teahouses and taverns."

"The Fire Bear Gang is a bad gang. When people heard that they suffered a loss, they all applauded. Your disciple has become famous!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Madam Li frowned, slowly put down the kettle, and shook her head, saying, "What do you mean by fame? It's clearly putting people on the fire. The world is treacherous, and there must be someone with evil intentions."

Li Shiqing shook his head and smiled, "Madam, don't worry. I think this kid has a tough life. In the end, it will probably be others who suffer."

"This is also a happy event, when it comes to..."

Seeing Madam Li's face darken, Li Shiqing quickly changed his words and said, "It was just a joke, Madam, don't take it seriously."

Madam Li shook her head slightly and said, "Although I don't want our family to be involved in disputes in the martial arts world, I still have to help those who need help."

"Where's Kong Qing? Didn't you say you found a good yard?"

"I saw him before I entered the door. I guess he went to look for someone..."

Fenglai Inn, outside the courtyard.

"Brother Li, please come in..."

Li Yan was a little surprised. After the fight last night, he thought that the people coming to find him would be from the Chang'an Five Elements Gang.

After all, according to convention, victory requires celebration, and it is inevitable to get to know some fellow martial artists, or even people from the Taoist sect.

In this way, the situation is completely opened up.

If you take on a few more big jobs and complete them beautifully, you will be able to gain a firm foothold in Chang'an in the future.

Unexpectedly, it was Li Kongqing who came to the door first.

"I'm not going in. Come with me!"

Li Kongqing seemed a little anxious. "I have something else to do. Let's go to Pingkangfang while we are still a little free."

Li Yan was stunned and looked at Li Kongqing in shock.

Sharifi beside him laughed, "Master Li, it's still broad daylight. What can we do in a little while..."

"Where are you thinking!"

Li Kongqing glared, a little annoyed.

"I've found a house for you. It's in Pingkangfang!"

…………

The ancient courtyard is deep, the rockery is covered with snow, and the pond is steaming.

On the glazed tile roof, a few birds are flying back and forth.

"This...is this the house you found for us?"

Sharifei opened his mouth wide with a look of disbelief.

It’s not that the house is bad, it’s that it’s too good!

This house is located in the alley at the back of Pingkangfang. It has two entrances, front and back, and is simple and elegant, with even a pond and rockery.

After exiting the alley, you will reach Pingkangfang, the most prosperous area in Chang'an City. Along the street are brothels, teahouses, wine shops and gambling houses, which shows that the location is extraordinary.

To find peace and quiet in a hustle and bustle like this, even if it was just for two courtyards, the amount of money that would be spent was beyond their imagination.

Not only Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan were confused, even Li Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Li, I appreciate your kindness, but we really can't afford to live in this yard."

“You don’t have to pay.”

Li Kongqing's eyes were full of pride. "This courtyard has a great history. The original site was the residence of Li Linfu, a treacherous prime minister during the Tang Dynasty. It was later destroyed by war, leaving only ruins."

"Of course, these courtyards were built later. Some wealthy merchants gave them to the prince as gifts. But the prince would definitely not come to such a place, so they have been empty for three or four years."

"I heard a steward in the palace complain that drunken gangsters often sneak in here and fool around with prostitutes."

"He asked someone to watch the house, but he was scared half to death by someone pretending to be a ghost in the middle of the night. But it is impossible to send experts to stay there permanently, so those gangsters have become more rampant. It's really embarrassing."

"I have already made an agreement with the steward. As long as you can take good care of the yard and prevent those scoundrels from bringing people to mess around and ruin the reputation of the palace, you won't have to pay any rent before the house is given away."

"Mr. Li is really capable!"

Sharifei flattered him crazily, "Don't worry, even if it's a real ghost, let alone a pretend ghost, we will hang it up and beat it!"

"No one who makes any mess can come in."

Li Kongqing also smiled slightly, shook his head and sighed: "Little Brother Li really enlightened me that day. I don't have that ability, but I can just take good care of my family."

"I won't talk too much these days, so I guess my job is safe."

"I have something else to do. Let's talk another day."

Having said that, he bowed and left quickly.

"Master Li, walk slowly!"

Sharifei bowed hurriedly from behind, smiling so much that his mouth was crooked, "Some other day! I'll invite you to Huaye Tower some other day!"

Li Kongqing staggered and almost fell, and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, no, my mother is very strict, my wife is virtuous and my children are filial, I dare not go."

As he spoke, the man quickly walked away.

Li Yan and the other two then looked towards the surrounding courtyard.

Sharifei rubbed his face and smiled foolishly:
"Master, please tell me whether my luck has changed..."
