Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike

Chapter 110 Inviting a Guest to Execute (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes flickered slightly.

The other party appeared to be very polite, but in reality, they were talking to themselves and making arrangements for their future actions.

Moreover, the implication behind his words was nothing more than a dig at his own master, Cheng Yuanhua.

In Crab Horse's eyes, his senior uncle Cheng Yuanhua was a good-for-nothing.

He spent his days among the common people, holding no official position whatsoever, merely passing his days in a state of mediocrity.

"Of course. I've heard that Senior Brother Ma's acupoint striking technique is a unique skill, possessing unfathomable power. I wonder if I could learn from him?"

"Today we'll only talk about friendship, not martial arts."

When Ma Shiqing saw that Li Xin did not sit down but instead brought up the matter of sparring as soon as he opened his mouth, his face fell.

After looking Li Xin up and down, he smiled and said, "Junior brother, you may think that the rank of garrison commander is not high and that he doesn't have much power?"

This is a rank that ordinary martial artists can only dream of in their entire lives.

If you ask me, even if you want to pass the martial arts exam and be appointed to a substantive post in the countryside, it's just an official position, so why bother with all that trouble?

If you want to help me out, given our friendship, that's not out of the question.

But if you're relying solely on your own abilities to take the exam, not that I'm underestimating you, junior brother, but you really can't do it."

I have absolutely no connection with you.

This means that if I don't obey your orders, I won't be able to pass the martial arts exam.

Li Xin smiled, then suddenly cupped his hands and said, "I never imagined that Senior Brother Ma would become the emperor and be able to decide who the martial arts champion is. My apologies for my disrespect."

"How dare you!"

"Ignorant child—"

"How dare you slander the Emperor?"

"Be careful what you say—"

Ma Shiqing's face turned pale. Before he could speak, eight armored men with swords behind him shouted at the same time.

Clang—

Three more people drew steel knives.

These men were full of vigor and vitality, and had clearly been in the military for a long time; they were ruthless killers.

At that moment, a sharp shout shook the restaurant, and other patrons were so frightened they almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Xin's eyes sharpened.

The figure standing at the door suddenly blurred.

It turned into streaks of afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, it changed eight positions.

With a flickering palm, a heavy slap landed on the faces of all eight people.

Snap snap snap snap ————

The sounds were like firecrackers, creating a continuous cacophony.

The eight people were almost simultaneously thrown into the air, like kites.

His cheeks were visibly swollen like steamed buns, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were slanted, half of his teeth were missing, and blood was spurting from his mouth.

Ma Shiqing did take action.

Instead, they acted immediately.

He stayed by Li Xin's side, ready to intercept him.

He saw that the other person's figure was elusive, and he was always a step too slow, unable to stop even one palm strike.

"Good, very good. Junior brother truly lives up to his reputation as the best in the capital for lightness skills."

Judging solely from his unpredictable and elusive movements, he was far beyond the reach of the heavens. I, as his senior brother, have been truly blind to his abilities.

If you can't stop them, then don't.

Ma Shiqing's gaze was cold and sharp. Although he felt a little more apprehensive and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, he ultimately held back.

Moreover, he didn't think that his lightness skill alone could block his [Eight Gates Heavenly Star Brush].

Even with superb light-foot skills, one can only escape; to defeat the enemy, one must fight.

With his iron-clad arms and the Heavenly Judge's Pen, he judges Yin and Yang and divides life and death.

As long as you get within three feet, it's absolutely impossible to miss.

Just now, his arms were too short, and without a weapon, he was always three inches short.

But precisely because of this, he felt even more confident, believing he had thoroughly grasped Li Xin's abilities.

"As I said, apart from his judge's writing style, which is somewhat interesting, Brother Ma's other skills are just so-so."

I find it strange, how could my senior brother possibly prevent me from becoming the martial arts champion?

"Have confidence and ambition."

This time, Ma Shiqing didn't get angry but smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

Without looking back, he led the eight soldiers who had gotten up and left.

A table of food and drinks had just been served.

But no one paid any attention.

The shopkeepers didn't dare to greet anyone, keeping their heads down in fear and trepidation. They didn't even dare to show the slightest hint of complaint.

This shows how renowned the Crab Horse was.

"So, he came here to win over the young master."

However, it's a bit too stingy.

"How could a garrison post be worthy of our young master?"

Zhuang Hongxiu said earnestly.

Li Xin was amused and slowly walked down the street, shaking his head and saying, "Do you really think he's here to build relationships and do favors?"

No, he's here to find out my background.

From the very beginning, this person harbored ill intentions. His murderous intent was deeply hidden, but it couldn't escape my notice.

It cannot be hidden from the spiritual perception of [psychic].

-

The gray-black aura emanating from the other party was almost comparable to that of the Japanese devils.

If it weren't for the sake of my master, or rather, my senior master—

Upon meeting today, Li Xin had already taken advantage of the other party being alone and killed him on the spot.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

We'll see each other in a couple of days anyway.

We'll see then how powerful those judge's pens and iron arms really are.

"Better to provoke Changshou than Shiqing, what a prestigious reputation!"

"Besides, Hongxiu, haven't I told you before that I don't want to be an official?"

Looking at Zhuang Hongxiu's somewhat lost expression, Li Xin thought to himself that this girl ultimately could not escape the limitations of her time.

There is a strong emphasis on officialdom.

In her view, being able to become an official and bring honor to one's ancestors is naturally a very glorious and happy thing.

Even though her father was punished by the court for his defeat in battle, and her family lived a miserable life.

He was still not disappointed in the court or the world.

This is determined by a person's background.

Li Xin did not look down on the other party's vision.

"So be it, I'll stay out of office. Wherever the young master goes, I'll go. This carefree life is actually better than that."

Zhuang Hongxiu secretly glanced at Li Xin.

Suddenly, he said softly.

"Which one is that?"

"That's the one, you decide for yourself."

The word "emperor" carried too much weight in her heart, and she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"If, during the martial arts examination, I not only didn't kneel, but instead pressed down on the emperor's dog head—"

Make him reluctantly announce that I am the top martial arts champion. And then, parade me through the streets in ostentatious display. Do you think the world will descend into chaos then?

"Oh, that won't work."

"If I say it's okay, then it's okay."

"

Li Xin laughed heartily.

Back to Li Garden.

Li Xin routinely took medicine and practiced cultivation, drawing the [Life Character].

Practice the newly transformed [Qiankun Jin] until you are proficient.

Feeling the internal energy within his body surging again, he sighed with pleasure.

"It's almost here. With the help of the precious medicine, the speed of cultivating qi and blood and internal strength is even faster than the growth of [physical constitution]."

"Once my internal energy is fully replenished, my combat strength will be at least one or two times stronger than it was back at the Sakura Pavilion."

If I were to criticize myself back then, it would be like disciplining a child.

-

Not to mention that mental control of [physical constitution] and [agility] is more refined, resulting in faster and more accurate attacks, and stronger neural reactions.

In terms of attack power, internal strength is a weakness.

Now it's become the longest one.

If someone takes advantage of my youth and tries to fight me head-on, I'm afraid I'll suffer a great loss.

"Young Master!"

It was nearing noon.

Before dinner was even served, some of the boys Li Yuan had sent out had already returned.

However, this time they didn't run back on their own; two of them had to be carried back.

"Little Tiger————"

Zhuang Hongxiu's face was extremely pale, and she hurried to the door to greet them.

-

It was then observed that, in addition to the broken leg that had not fully healed, Luo Xiaohu's other supporting leg was also broken.

Not only him.

Yang Fan also lost a leg.

Both men were sweating profusely, and one of their right legs was twisted and the bone was bent backward.

The broken area was red, swollen, and bleeding, with the skin and flesh turned inside out, clearly indicating that it had been broken by a blunt object.

"Are they from the Qing family or from Prince Yi's residence?"

"The person who made the move was dressed in black and had his face covered, so his background was unknown. However, he was tall and strong, and looked like someone who knew martial arts."

Yang Fan said through gritted teeth.
