The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Qingshan ultimately did not agree to Xiao Ruoqing's request.

Of course, it wasn't that Li Qingshan didn't want to feel the warmth from the Second Miss.

The main issue is that the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng, which was placed in that secret room, has not yet been taken by me, so how could I let others benefit from it?

Moreover, the Marquis's whereabouts have become his temporary shield.

"If these people really knew that Xiao Dongshan was staying in Shuiyun Pavilion, they would probably tear me apart immediately."

Furthermore, Xiao Dongshan is not someone to be trifled with. It's fortunate I left Shuiyun Pavilion, otherwise I might have easily given myself away.

Li Qingshan pondered as he headed towards his room.

He planned to continue training with the young lady, as this was the only way to rapidly increase his strength.

……

Guo Mansion.

Guo Qingyuan, dressed in a white robe and with a somewhat effeminate expression, was savoring the fragrant tea beside him.

Not far away, Master Guo, with his youthful face and white hair, made a sword-like gesture with his hand, constantly dancing something in the air, as if he were writing or practicing some kind of martial art.

The movement gradually slowed down until it was almost completely still.

The next moment.

Wow!

A sound like an air explosion suddenly rang out in the courtyard, like thunder or the sound of a sword!

Master Guo's body moved in a strange, unpredictable manner, leaping and flashing before finally returning to the chair where he had just been standing.

call!

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which, like a sharp sword, stretched for three zhang without dissipating.

"Father, you have been practicing this incomplete technique for several years, but you have not found a clue. Why don't you switch to the White Lotus Manual?"

Guo Qingyuan spoke with a stern expression but with utmost sincerity.

Guo Xiaotian casually picked up a towel and carefully wiped the slight sweat from his forehead. After tossing it aside unhurriedly, he continued to exhale and say:

"You don't understand. Since I am a grandmaster of the imperial court, the martial arts I use must be those of the imperial court."

Even if one or two techniques weren't issued by the imperial court, they must still have some basis in fact. Otherwise, why do you think your father is still alive in this court?

As Guo Xiaotian spoke, his fingers seemed to find some kind of fulcrum and began to write in the air.

The next moment, he stomped his foot and sprang up like a spring, transforming his hand into a sword that pierced directly through the roof.

Boom!

Amidst the roar, a figure was forced back by this attack.

"Damn it, Guo Xiaotian, weren't you supposed to be a grandmaster who achieved mastery through the Third Method? How come you're so terrifying? What kind of demonic art have you cultivated?!"

The person was wrapped in a white robe, with a tall and slender figure, but his voice was neither male nor female, making him difficult to understand.

He held a slender sword in his hand, which emitted a cold light as if it could cut through the air and shatter gold and jade.

What's more important is that the air around this person was slightly distorted, as if even the air itself was affected.

Guo Qingyuan immediately hid in a corner, his eyes fixed intently on the scenery before him.

The battle between grandmasters is extremely valuable. Although Guo Qingyuan does not follow the path of tempering his qi and blood, he can still benefit greatly from such a battle at the grandmaster level.

Guo Xiaotian sneered and slowly said:

"Heh, the world is so foolish. I never imagined that an assassin like you could be so foolish."

Then he suddenly bent his fingers, turning them into tiger claws, and grabbed at the air. A sharp blade on the weapon rack next to him was unable to fly up and was directly grasped in his hand.

"Prepare to die!"

Without wasting words, Guo Xiaotian charged at the assassin once more.

"Take this!"

The white-clad assassin's slender sword was raining down on Guo Xiaotian's vital points with a dense and frenzied barrage.

Each strike caused a series of explosive bursts in the air, and several holes the size of bowls were also punched in the walls surrounding Guo Xiaotian.

"What terrifying penetrating power! Even reaching the peak of true qi would not be able to achieve this level. Just who is this assassin?"

Furthermore, why did he want to assassinate his father? Is there some secret I don't know about?!

Various thoughts kept churning in Guo Qingyuan's mind.

However, Guo Xiaotian seemed to sense something, and his body suddenly lurched forward, leaping several meters in an instant, and slashed directly at the assassin's neck at an incredible angle.

puff...

The attack was incredibly fast, so fast that the assassin didn't even have time to react.

In a mere instant, the white-clad assassin's head split open, his body falling to the ground.

His prized rapier crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After doing all this, Guo Xiaotian didn't have time to catch his breath. His face was deathly pale, as if he had been greatly affected.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect to see such an interesting show as soon as we arrived... Guo Xiaotian, you're a bit unworthy of the title of Grandmaster. It seems you'll need to consume a lot of ammunition in the future to stabilize your realm."

A figure appeared on the treetop at some unknown time, quietly observing the scene.

The person had a rather strange appearance. Guo Qingyuan, who was secretly watching from the side, also frowned because he couldn't tell whether the person was male or female.

They couldn't even understand why the other person could stand on one leg on the treetop without using any leverage.

"Is it the power of a grandmaster, or is the other party's identity terrifying?"

And why was Father able to unleash such terrifying speed just now? I didn't even have a chance to react. Could it be that Father has been hiding something all along?!

"Or is this the true power of a grandmaster... or has Father already found that path?"

Guo Xiaotian was not prepared to tell Guo Qingyuan everything. After all, among his descendants, Guo Qingyuan was outstanding, but definitely not the most outstanding one.

"Haha, so it's a Dharma Protector. Please come into the living room for a chat, lest you be offended by this filthy fellow."

Guo Xiaotian, forcing a smile and despite his pale face, cupped his hands in greeting to the figure on the treetop.

……

The evening clouds were dyed red by the setting sun, as if they were on fire.

Li Qingshan, who was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, had his training interrupted by the servant who came to talk to him.

The servant in the green robe lowered his head and whispered:

"Master Li, Master Guo requests your presence at his residence, saying he has important matters to discuss. Do you have the time?"

Master Guo?!

Li Qingshan was somewhat surprised to hear this, after all, this teacher was usually elusive and rarely seen, so how could he possibly have time to waste on him?

Clearly, the other party's sudden return was not for his sake.

But why would the other person want to contact me?

With this question in mind, Li Qingshan comforted Xiao Ruoxue briefly before striding towards Guo Qingyuan's residence.

He wanted to see what was unusual about this Master Guo lately!

Is he actually a member of the Purification Sect?!
