Starting from the Tiger Demon Yaksha, the demon immortality

Chapter 93 Chapter 92 Shocking Change
The long and powerful medicinal power penetrated into his bones. Li Cunxiao held the sword in his hand, practicing slowly, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes chopping, sometimes stabbing.

It was not as vigorous as before, and his Qi and blood were kept within his body, but his swordsmanship was even more fierce than before.

Riding the wind, sweeping away the dust, soaring into the sky, and splitting the clouds.
The four sword techniques circulated repeatedly in his hands, gradually showing a tendency to merge into one.

The last bit of inspiration was about to emerge, but due to the lack of realm, it was always suppressed in ignorance.

Li Cunxiao felt unhappy and shouted:
"water!"

Upon hearing this, Wei He, who was standing next to him, immediately picked up a basin of water and poured it over his head.

In the cold winter, the temperature was biting, and the splashing water curtain had even condensed into countless ice particles in mid-air.

However, the four-foot Mo Dao was like a windmill, stirring up strong winds. For a moment, the ice waterfall rolled back and exploded, and the ground was like an avalanche.

When Li Cunxiao put away his sword and stood up, there was no trace of white on his crimson round-necked robe and black hat, and there was an inch of snow on the ground beside him.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the numbness and itching deep in his bone marrow gradually disappeared, but there was a slight heat in his waist and kidneys.

"Brother, your sword is so fast!"

Ye Chengxiao stood aside, amazed.

He became Zhang Lishi's disciple just to learn the Little Yaksha sword technique, so how could he not see how powerful Li Cunxiao was.

"Water droplets and snow grains can penetrate every hole. Even the swords and spears on the battlefield cannot reach this level of density."

"If Senior Brother were to go to the battlefield, riding on a red horse, I'm afraid he would be a grinding wheel of flesh and blood. Whoever falls under his blade would be shattered, both the man and the horse."

"Junior brother, you are too kind. I am only at the muscle realm, and at most I have mastered some techniques."

"Without the blessing of the vital energy of the internal organs, it is impossible to unleash the power of this sword technique."

Li Cunxiao sighed deeply, recalling the tornado-like sword energy that Zhang Lishi had unleashed in the Tiankeng Lake, and he did not feel the slightest bit of arrogance or complacency in his heart.

However, Ye Chengxiao was right about one thing. Now he was only performing his sword skills in the same place. If he could fully activate the Cloud-Stepping Shoes and the Dragon Armor Red Dragonfly and increase his speed, calling him a human meat grinder would be an underestimation.

"Does the master have any instructions?"

After spending many days together, Li Cunxiao and Ye Chengxiao have become familiar with each other. The latter seems to be on the verge of becoming Qin Yu's number one confidant, which makes Qin Yu feel a huge sense of crisis.

"Yes. Master asked me to come over and tell you about the Lantern Festival."

Li Cunxiao nodded when he heard this. Ye Chengxiao's arrival was a good opportunity for him to help teach Mu Cha martial arts.

For some unknown reason, after the three members of the Ye family moved in, Mu Cha became even more diligent in his martial arts training.

Li Cunxiao was confused by the situation and just thought it was a good thing, so he didn't think much about it.

He turned over and mounted Chili. The horse underneath him neighed happily, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a streak of red lightning and flew out of the yard, forcing Li Cunxiao to pull the reins hard.

After being fed with demon flesh for many days, Chili's body became stronger and stronger. It was a head taller than the horses in the escort agency, and its speed and strength were even more terrifying.

If it were allowed to run at full speed across the city, by the time it reached the escort agency, the streets along the way would be littered with the corpses of pedestrians who had no time to dodge.

"I just didn't expect that Zhao Xiaoyi's death would have such a huge impact on Xie Donglai. Twenty days later, he's still leading his troops on sweeps."

"The mountains are covered in snow, and there are powerful enemies out there, so I can't hunt."

"The city has been repeatedly investigated. Not only the demons of the Ming Cult, but even many beggars have been driven out. The gangs have all retreated into hiding, and there's no chance for them to stand up for justice."

"The accumulation of evil spirits has been greatly hindered."

In Li Cunxiao's mind, the light of the vajra reached four-fifths of the whole body, and only one-fifth was left to be filled.

Murong Bai has recently sent city guards and yamen runners to patrol every day, and the curfew is stricter than before.

He secretly went to the black market and found it deserted and extremely quiet. It was obvious that everyone had heard the news and was lying low.

As for the Chaibang shop, it has already closed down.

"Murong Bo is just flexing his muscles. Who knows when the major forces in the city will clash."

Li Cunxiao was a little worried, but fortunately he was not unable to practice without the vajra.

Not to mention the White Ape Spirit Marrow Pills given by Ye Chengxiao, he also successfully refined a batch of tiger bone wine and chalcedony paste from the flesh and blood of the white tiger he had hunted with great effort.

With the help of the two secret medicines, the progress of bone training far exceeds that of the other two training methods.

In the past few days, the deep part of the bone marrow has become increasingly hot and the blood has become increasingly thicker, which is a precursor to sublimation into mercury blood and silver marrow.

But blood transfusion is a long and tedious process. If you really want to perfect the bone training, it will probably take another month or so.

Besides that, there is a small problem.

In the cold winter, Li Cunxiao wore a middle coat and a round-necked satin robe, facing the cold wind brought by the galloping horse, and did not feel the cold at all.

The Yang energy in his body is too abundant, or rather, the kidney Yang is too abundant, so much that it is about to burn the kidney water dry.

Although Li Cunxiao was not in danger of being possessed by the devil because of the Vajra, he could feel that his emotions were becoming a little manic in the past few days.

Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity have destroyed the balance of the body, and the root cause is undoubtedly the blessing of the Filthy Silver Fox.

The solution is actually quite simple. The Xiao family's Jade Chamber Technique is used to nourish the snake demon Naga, which will make his kidney yin sufficient.

As long as this breaks through the muscles, the problem will be solved.

Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to practicing the Little Yaksha Sword Technique, he spent the rest of his time practicing the Jade Chamber Technique.

In this way, when the vajra is full, less energy will be consumed when breaking obstacles.

While thinking about all sorts of things, Li Cunxiao arrived at the escort agency in the blink of an eye.

After getting off the horse, he went straight to the study, where Zhang Lishi, Zhang Yuelu and Shi Tie were all there.

"Master, did you ask me to come here because of the Shangyuan Xiaobi incident?"

In a year, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Zhongyuan Festival on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, and the Xiayuan Festival on the 15th day of the tenth lunar month, collectively known as the Three Yuan Festivals, are the most important festivals in the world.

Every grand event is bound to feature a martial arts competition. Last year's autumn hunt had a disappointing start, so this competition, held after the start of the new year, was bound to be extremely significant.

But Zhang Lishi's answer was unexpected.

"No, I'm only bringing Shi Tie to this year's Lantern Festival."

"Cui Da and Cui Er will stay at the escort agency. Sanlang, you will stay too."

Li Cunxiao was stunned when he heard this. At first glance, this arrangement seemed to ignore him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

The master and apprentice who attended the meeting were both at the Zangfu realm, and the Cui brothers who were good at joint attacks were left behind to guard the escort agency.
"Master, is something going to happen at the Lantern Festival?"

Zhang Lishi smoothed his forehead with his thick fingers and shook his head gently.

"Not sure yet, just heard the rumor."

this.
Li Cunxiao and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other, and the latter's expression was also surprised.

Lanterns are lit all night long, and even the usual curfew is lifted. It is an annual carnival for the whole nation.

Correspondingly, the city guards' strength will be fully concentrated on this day, and not many people dare to cause trouble on such a day.

Is Murong Bo planning a Hongmen Feast? Or is the counterattack of the Chai Clan and the Ming Cult finally here?

"Why are you two looking like that? We're just being cautious, don't worry about anything."

Zhang Lishi cursed with a smile, waved his hand and chased the two men away.

But Li Cunxiao keenly noticed that there were bloodshot eyes in the other person's eyes, but during the conversation, he could not see any problems.

When the footsteps faded away, the smile on Zhang Lishi's face faded and he took out a small bottle from his arms.

Green drops of water fell on the eyeball, and the bloodshot immediately subsided a little.

"Master, you failed to advance to the Huangting realm and injured your liver. Tonight."

Shi Tie's face was full of worry as he handed over a sheathed long sword. The green stone eye on the red-gold dragon-sparrow sword ring was glowing faintly.

"It is precisely because of the damage to my internal organs that I am unable to control two magic treasures at the same time. The Wind-Fixing Orb is enough. You take the Dragon Sparrow Sword."

Zhang Lishi exerted force and pushed the knife back.

"I thought that with the blessing of the Drum Flower and years of accumulation, I would be able to achieve success in one fell swoop. Who knew that entering the Dantian would be so difficult?"

"If I could exchange the Drum Flower for a Calming Pill, Master would definitely be able to do it."

"Okay, stop trying to find good things to say. I just failed to break through, I'm not dead!"

"The liver injury will heal after ten days of rest."

Zhang Lishi stroked the emerald wind-stabilizing bead, opened the window, and peered out into the distance, seemingly catching sight of the county government office in the inner city. His eyes shifted between uncertainty and uncertainty.

"Why are you two so distracted?"

Mrs. Zhang's voice broke Li Cunxiao's scattered thoughts. Opposite him, Zhang Yuelu also looked like she had just come back to her senses.

He glanced around and was surprised to find that Mrs. Zhang and the eldest and second wives in the family still looked as usual, and were even playing rock-paper-scissors and drinking.

This mentality is much calmer than his.

"Think it's weird?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly and personally served a bowl of chicken soup to each of them.

"Everyone knows how awe-inspiring the Flying Tiger Escort Agency's chief escort is, and how brave Zhang Lishi is."

"But for me, every victory he won was another scar. I don't know how many times I sat at home and prayed for his safe return."

"Later, I came to terms with it. If I had been so worried all the time, he wouldn't have gotten hurt, but I would have fallen ill first."

The eldest lady of the Zhang family also looked deeply touched, and it was obvious that Shi Tie felt the same way to her.

"People cannot control things beyond their own ability. All you two can do now is drink this bowl of soup."

You can feel the boiling hot chicken soup through the porcelain bowl, and the green onions floating on the golden oil will whet your appetite.

Li Cunxiao picked it up and drank it all in one gulp, and the worries in his heart seemed to be washed away a lot.

"Captain Shi has been waiting outside and hasn't had his meal yet. Go and bring him some food."

Knowing that the two had no appetite, Mrs. Zhang simply sent Zhang Yuelu and Li Cunxiao out for a walk.

When the two figures disappeared at the door, the eldest lady of the Zhang family laughed softly and said:

"Mother, Yue'er and Li Cunxiao are both stupid. I'm afraid all your efforts will be in vain."

"Big sister is always wrong about things, but this time I agree. Sanniang and this Li Sanlang are just like my father, either practicing martial arts or taking care of affairs, they don't look like people who want to start a family at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Zheng glared at her two daughters, then turned around and found that Mu Cha was surrounded by Zhang Que'er and Shi Tie's youngest daughter You Niang.

The two girls were chattering, their wooden bowls piled high with food, their stomachs bulging, and their little faces looking bitter.

"I think Li Silang is a good match for our family, but Que'er is the younger sister and Youniang is the older sister. What are you going to do?"

"Well, you dare to make fun of me, you deserve a beating!"

Mrs. Zhang was helpless and was about to scold her two daughters. At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the distance, and even flames could be seen rising into the sky.

Everyone in the room was startled, and Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and frowned.

Instead, it was Mu Cha who immediately broke free from Zhang Que'er and Shi Youniang's hands, which were tightly wrapped around him out of fear, and stepped forward to support Madam Zhang who was standing unsteadily.

"Mother, the city guards are enforcing martial law outside. The two Master Cuis and Junior Brother Li have all rushed over to check."

Zhang Yuelu rushed into the room and saw his mother frowning. He quickly went forward to take her pulse. After a moment, he showed a look of surprise.

"Xixi pulse?"

The eldest and second wives of the Zhang family couldn't help but look strange.

"Mom is pregnant again?"

"This is such a chaotic situation, Dad is really..."

This was not the first time Mrs. Zhang became a mother, so she did not feel embarrassed when she heard this. She smiled and touched Mu Cha's head.

"Mu Cha, good boy, thank you so much just now."

Mu Cha puffed out his chest and said as a matter of course:

"Big brother told me to treat Que'er as my sister. Shouldn't that mean I should treat her like my mother to you?"

Mrs. Zhang was immediately deeply moved.

She stroked her belly, which had not yet shown any pregnancy, with her right hand, but couldn't help but wonder in her heart whether the baby in her belly would be as well-behaved and sensible as Mu Cha?
Is it a boy or a girl?

"Hey! Are you a man or a woman?"

Cui Yao was fully armed, holding a spear, and squinting his eyes at the fully armed city guards on the long street outside the escort agency.

The leader, fully armored, stood in the shadows, holding his sword still.

"Don't bother. They are the Murong family's private soldiers. You won't get anything out of them with such simple words."

Cui Wei was also wearing lamellar armor, holding a long shield in his left hand and a sword in his right. His tone was casual, but his eyes were alert.

A dark shadow quietly climbed over the courtyard wall.

It’s Li Cunxiao.

"Nephew, what's going on outside?"

The Cui brothers hurried over to meet them.

After the noise and fire, the city guards on the long street immediately blocked the road and imposed martial law, completely unaware of what was going on.

The Cui brothers were too conspicuous, so Li Cunxiao, relying on his lightness skills, immediately volunteered, changed into night clothes, and slipped out to check the situation.

"It was the shouting and screaming coming from the county government office. The fire was probably caused by the several-meter-tall Aoshan Lantern being ignited. But there are more troops over there, so I can't sneak in."

"What about the chief escort and his men?"

Cui Yao asked nervously, and Cui Wei was also worried.

They all knew that tonight's lantern festival would not go smoothly, and they had some guesses in their minds, but no one could be sure until the dust settled.

If Murong Bo organized a Hongmen Banquet, they would immediately have to lead their men to support him and also send people to send the women of the Zhang family away.

But when Li Cunxiao heard this, his expression became strange.

"When I went there, Master had already come out with Senior Brother."

"Huh? Finished so soon?"

The Cui brothers were a little confused when they heard this.

If they were not targeting Zhang Lishi, then who was fighting?
The answer was soon revealed.

As the shouting and screaming in the city subsided and the martial law on the streets was lifted, the city guards gradually withdrew and moved through the streets.

Some were unharmed, while others were completely wounded and their weapons were covered in blood.

Later, ox carts passed by, pulling loads of corpses. Some of the people were strong and healthy, while others were pale and thin. The only thing they had in common was that they were wearing white clothes and black hats.

Li Cunxiao and the Cui brothers immediately guessed that the Ming Cult had taken advantage of the Lantern Festival to launch a rebellion, and the two sides started a fight.

The fight at the county government office
"It was people from the Ming Cult and the Chai Gang who tried to assassinate Murong Bo at the Lantern Festival. The fight ended in a draw."

Zhang Lishi and Shi Tie returned to the escort agency. The female relatives came out immediately and saw that they had no injuries on their bodies, so they returned to the inner courtyard.

But the two of them looked a little tired and their faces were not looking good.

"Isn't it a good thing that the county government and the Ming Cult are fighting each other?"

Cui Yao suddenly became excited. "Why not take this opportunity to kill that old man Murong Bai? Then, wouldn't our escort agency have the final say in Chuqiu from now on?"

Zhang Lishi sighed, "It's not that simple."

"If we could do it, do you think Shi Tie and I would come back so easily?"

"Murong Bo, I didn't make any move tonight."

"what?"

Cui Wei was surprised. "Didn't they just say that the four leaders of the Ming Cult, the Song Qifeng brothers, and the six internal organs would attack together?"

"Even if the three families in the inner city were combined, their number would be roughly the same. Xie Donglai would definitely still have to command the central army and the city guards."

"Not three families," Shi Tie interrupted Cui Da, his expression filled with lingering sorrow.

"Seven."

"The seven families in the inner city have formed an alliance."
