Invincible!

Chapter 7 Sharp Weapon
The four guards of the Marquis's mansion did not head straight for the government office while carrying the bodies of Liu Feng and the others.

One of them rushed to the Marquis's residence as soon as he left Qingmo Lane.

When their lives are at stake, they naturally prioritize survival. However, they are deeply indebted to the Marquis's household, which prevents them from abandoning the household during a crisis.

Not to mention that the Marquis's mansion hasn't collapsed yet.

Between Li Xian, a martial arts master who only cultivated his inner strength, and the behemoth that was the Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion, they naturally leaned more towards the Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion.

Soon, the guards arrived inside the Marquis's residence.

"Something terrible has happened! Madam, something terrible has occurred!"

The guards met with Madam Mo Caiying immediately and gave an embellished account of the situation in the courtyard of Qingmo Lane.

Finally, he said in a heavy tone, "That Li Xian has practiced some kind of evil skill and is no longer the same as before. Relying on his superior strength, he has not only injured three guards but also killed Captain Liu Feng. He is truly ruthless! Now, he is heading straight for our Marquis's residence. I urge Madam to immediately gather all the guards to ensure our safety!"

"Rebellion! Rebellion! A mere scholar dares to kill someone from my Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion, and even dares to cause trouble in our mansion! This is outrageous!"

Mo Caiying was furious.

"Someone! Have Commander Fang Xin gather the men! Where is Liu Fu?! Get Liu Fu here immediately! Also, send a letter to invite Martial Arts Master Zhao from Tianlong Garden! My Dingfeng Marquis's Mansion has a history of nearly a hundred years, has lived by the Li River for generations, and has a profound heritage. Do you think we'd let some lowly lackey from a poor family ride roughshod over us?!"

Now that things have come to this, grudges and right and wrong are no longer important.

For the sake of the reputation of the Marquis of Dingfeng's mansion, this First Madam must not back down.

Soon, the entire Dingfeng Marquis's residence sprang into action.

One by one, the guards who were training, patrolling, or on leave were summoned, fully armed, and gathered in the front yard.

Furthermore, guards quickly left the courtyard to investigate Li Xian's whereabouts.

When Li Xian arrived at the front courtyard of the Marquis of Dingfeng's residence under the "protection" of several guards, he saw a scene of great alarm.

The twenty guards drew their longswords, their eyes cold and sharp.

The four corpses that were originally supposed to be moved to the government office were also brought to the Marquis's residence.

In the corridor in front of the second courtyard, maids brought out chairs covered with mink fur.

Madam Mo Caiying, accompanied by the chief steward Liu Fu and her personal maid, sat down formally.

His gaze shifted and landed directly on Li Xian, who had just stepped through the gate.

"Li Xian, do you know your crime?!"

A shout came directly from the doctor's mouth and landed on Li Xian.

However, Li Xian ignored the First Madam.

Unsurprisingly, he simply said, "Arrogance in people's hearts can prevent them from seeing the truth of things, and they will only believe what they want to believe."

He seemed to be speaking to Tan Zhang, but it also seemed like he was talking to himself.

After a moment, his gaze swept over the numerous guards: "Are you sure you don't want to listen to my reasoning? If not, once the fighting starts, swords and spears have no eyes... Many people will die today!"

"Reason?! You?! What right do you have to talk to me about reason?!"

The First Madam sat with an imposing air, her voice booming: "Let me tell you, my words are the Way, my commands are the Truth!"

"It needs to be cleaned up."

Li shook his head: "Close the door."

He spoke again.

This command was given directly to Tan Zhang.

But Tan Zhang didn't move.

Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, he naturally made his stance clear.

At this moment, the voice of the First Madam, Mo Caiying, came: "My Dingfeng Marquis's Mansion is about to enforce family rules; how can we allow outsiders to laugh at us!"

She waved her hand and said, "He Men, today I'm going to teach this ignorant live-in son-in-law a lesson. I'll show him what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are, what it means for a wife to follow her husband's lead, and what the family traditions of my Dingfeng Marquis's Mansion are!"

"You're very brave."

Li Xian looked at Madam Mo Caiying: "What makes you think you can do whatever you want with me? Is it my hard work and dedication over the past month? Or is it the servants' submissiveness that made you feel this way?"

The First Madam sneered, "I'm also very curious, just how arrogant and ignorant must a person be for a timid and submissive scholar from a poor family to speak like this in front of a Marquis's wife!"

"It's not arrogance or ignorance, it's possessing a sharp weapon."

Li Xiandao.

This world has no firearms, no guns.

Even if there are martial artists...

Martial artists who have reached the levels of bone forging and tendon transformation are far too weak compared to gunmen wielding firearms.

"A man can be an enemy of a nation within a few inches. Although there are many guards within these thirty-three meters between us, with my strength, these guards are powerless to stop me. I can easily break through the blockade, kill my way to you, and behead you with a single blow! Why can't I calmly face someone whose life and death I can easily control?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Mo Caiying, who had just been sneering, changed her expression.

His gaze unconsciously drifted to Liu Fu beside him.

Liu Fu had been watching Li Xian closely since he entered the courtyard. Now, noticing the slight unease in the First Madam's gaze, he immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam. I observe that although this young man has diligently practiced martial arts and behaved with propriety, his muscles and bones have not yet been fully developed, let alone his internal organs."

He spoke with great confidence: "Perhaps he is lucky enough to have mastered some advanced secret techniques and swordsmanship, and is skilled in actual combat, so he can defeat the strong with the weak. But his physical strength is what it is. With my years of experience in mastering the internal organs, it is not difficult to capture and kill him."

Mo Caiying felt relieved upon hearing Liu Fu's words.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wushi, who had received great favors from the Marquis's family, went to Canglang Mountain a few days ago to participate in some kind of sword-fighting tournament.

Otherwise, given his strength, capturing Li Xian would have been a piece of cake.

"it is good!"

She turned to Li Xian and said, "Did you hear that? Surrender now, and I might let you off the hook since you're still somewhat useful! Otherwise... I'll teach you a lesson you won't be able to live or die!" "Let alone whether Liu Fu can capture or kill me... what belongs to others will always belong to others. In a life-or-death struggle, I'm barely able to take care of myself, how can I protect others?"

Li Xian calmly said, "Even now that you're fully prepared, what if I simply turn around and leave, sneaking into the Marquis's residence in the middle of the night? You can't possibly sleep in the same bed with Liu Fu just to protect yourself, can you? Kill you? It would be as easy as killing a chick!"

"Li Xian, how dare you!"

Liu Fu suddenly shouted sharply.

But Mo Caiying turned pale with fright at Li Xian's words.

She thought of what Mr. Li had said...

If he really turns and leaves today, and sneaks in to attack under the cover of night, how will she defend herself?!
"You knew the danger was immense, yet you still dared to speak so arrogantly? Your courage is commendable!"

Li Xianping raised his long sword, leaning slightly forward: "However, I enjoy challenging battles! Watch closely, your life is so fragile."

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Take him down!"

Liu Fu waved his hand.

Upon receiving the order, the guard commander Fang Xin led a dozen guards forward, surrounding and attacking Li Xian from all sides.

Almost at the same time they drew their swords to attack, Li Xian, who was leaning forward, unleashed his full power.

He shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Back then, he tested his fists across the world, experiencing too many times when his master was defeated, his disciples couldn't accept defeat, and chaotic battles and group fights ensued.

Therefore, he was well aware that while melee and group battles might seem like it was about fighting against overwhelming odds, in reality, by using the right angles and positioning, he often had to face no more than three opponents at the same time.

The number of attack sources will not exceed three.

Therefore, facing a square formation of about ten guards, Li Xian strode straight into it, and the three blades that were about to strike him with his longsword were directly cleaved in two.

As sparks flew, he charged at full speed, having already dodged the pursuit of the other two blades, and crashed into the chest of a guard.

With a powerful thrust, the guard, weighing over 70 kilograms, was sent flying, smashing a gap in the thin formation of only about ten guards.

Li Xian charged forward through the gap, raising his sword high, leaping forward, and slashing fiercely at one of the guards who followed.

"boom!"

Sparks flew!

The guard immediately raised his knife to block.

But when faced with Li Qian's powerful and heavy slash, he could not deflect the force and sharpness of the blow in his hasty attempt to block.

The long sword pressed down, slashing fiercely into his shoulder along with the blade he was blocking.

"Stop him!"

Fang Xin shouted loudly.

At this moment, Li Xian was completely surrounded by more than a dozen guards. Everywhere he looked, there were flashes of swords and shadows. It seemed that cold light was coming from every direction. If he hesitated for even a moment, he would be chopped into mincemeat by the blades coming from all directions.

but……

Li Xian did not stop moving.

After breaking through the guard's defense with a single slash, he kicked up his right leg and charged forward with a powerful kick. With a clang of bones, the guard who was blocking his way, whose long sword was completely pressed into his shoulder, was kicked to the ground and slid for several meters. He even tripped two guards who were following closely but did not have time to dodge, causing them to fall flat on their faces.

Taking advantage of the clearing ahead, Li Xian, after a brief pause, accelerated and charged again, leaping several meters, his long sword held horizontally, his target...

It was those guards who were there to cover the retreat!
"call out!"

As he charged forward and leaped away, three blades of light simultaneously tore through the spot where he had just stood.

The wind from the blade was cold and sharp.

The sharpness of the fabric seemed capable of slicing through the back of his clothes.

Even if Li Xian had been a fraction of a second slower, he would have been struck by all three blades simultaneously.

At best, it leaves three bloody marks; at worst, it can cause immediate death.

Even with such a slight difference, Li Xian's figure had already crashed into the center of the guards who were flanking him.

Using the same method, they tore apart the defensive line formed by these guards with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the distance between him and the First Madam, which was originally thirty-three meters, was shortened to less than ten meters.

At this point, Madam Mo Caiying seemed to become somewhat uneasy.

"Liu Fu!"

"Don't worry, Madam, I'm here!"

Liu Fu responded.

His gaze was fixed on Li Xian's figure.

In fact, his eyes never left Li Xian the moment he made his move.

He's been waiting!
Waiting for the right opportunity to make a move!
When Li Xian once again broke through the encirclement of several guards with incredible skill, and was about to completely destroy the defensive line formed by the guards, this martial arts master who had achieved great mastery of internal energy finally saw something.

He suddenly sprang up.

Like an eagle soaring through the sky, it swooped down in an instant, its five fingers curled, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, heading straight for Li Xiantian's head, who had just broken out of the encirclement, to capture and kill him.

This strike came at a crucial moment when Li Xian's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated. The timing, angle, and force of the strike were all perfectly timed.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!

This master martial artist, who had achieved great mastery of the art, fully understood the principle of strategically despising the enemy while tactically respecting them.

When it moves, it's as swift as thunder!
