Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

"Little chicken feet!"

Seeing Li Nian's hands clawing at him, Ruan Bin scoffed and slapped down on Li Nian's head with both palms like entangled clouds.

"Flowing clouds entwine jade hands; heavy clouds press down on the city!"

In his view, the guards in the city were no more than Bone Refinement cultivators.

Having mastered two levels of internal energy cultivation, he couldn't understand how he could have lost to a mere guard.

He used his strongest move, determined to kill Li Nian directly and not give Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi a chance to escape.

In his eyes, he could almost see Li Nian's head being smashed by a single blow.

Just as Ruan Bin was feeling smug, Li Nian's figure swooped in like a raptor, and Ruan Bin's gaze, which had been full of disdain just moments before, sharpened:

"So fast!"

After a moment, Ruan Bin shook his head and sneered inwardly:

"What's the use of being quick? You're just scaring yourself!"

The thought settles in your mind; without dodging or avoiding, strike down with both palms facing you directly.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, claws met.

Li Nian's claws precisely gripped Ruan Bin's wrists, her ten steel-hook-like fingers easily piercing the flesh and bone of his wrists like needles piercing tofu, causing ten streams of blood to spurt out.

Ah!

Ruan Bin let out a scream.

Before Ruan Bin could even think, Li Nian used both hands to pull Ruan Bin's hands apart, and then delivered a knee strike to Ruan Bin's abdomen like a giant hammer.

Li Nian hissed in a low voice:

"Forty-Eight Styles of Soul-Chasing Kicks - Soul-Chasing Knee Strike!"

Whoosh!

boom!

With his wrists ripped open and bleeding, Ruan Bin had no time to think about anything else and was completely unprepared for Li Nian's next attack, when his knee was slammed into his abdomen.

Ruan Bin felt his stomach being crushed to the extreme. A surge of stomach acid rushed up, leaped over his throat, and was vomited up with blood. His eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, and his eyeballs were covered with blood vessels.

pain!

It hurts so much!

"snort!"

Li Nian glanced disdainfully at Ruan Bin, who was vomiting blood in mid-air, then raised her left leg and delivered a powerful aerial slash to Ruan Bin's waist, sending him flying into the air and crashing into a broken basket placed in the corner.

With a bang, the basket shattered.

Li Nian descended slowly from the sky like a light swan.

Everything that just happened was but a fleeting moment!

"Senior Brother Li... is so strong!"

Ruan Hanyuan's beautiful eyes experienced a magnitude 12 earthquake, her pupils trembling.

She was just worried that Li Nian was no match for Ruan Bin and would be hurt by him.

But who knew—

Li Nian instantly defeated Ruan Bin!

"Gulp! Brother Li is so handsome!"

Yi Mingxi covered her rosy cheeks with her fists, looking completely infatuated.

"So handsome! No wonder he's the man I, Yi Jieyi, like!"

Yi Jieyi's heart pounded wildly, almost bursting out of her chest, her beautiful eyes filled with infatuation.

"The man you like? So, Yui-nee, you like Brother Li too!"

"Uh, Mingxi, you misheard me. I didn't say that."

"Sister Yui, shall we serve Brother Li together from now on?"

"..."

Step~

As Yi Jieyi and Yi Mingxi were talking, Li Nian landed gently.

Meanwhile, Ruan Bin's men recovered from their shock and rushed to check on Ruan Bin's condition.

"Third Young Master!"

puff!

Ruan Bin was helped to his feet, then vomited a mouthful of blood, revealing ten shocking bloody holes carved into his wrist.

Ruan Bin stared at Li Nian with trembling eyes.

When Li Nian pierced his wrists and bones, he knew very well how easy it was for Li Nian to do it. If Li Nian wanted to, she could have torn his wrists apart and then torn apart his vital parts!

"That kid wasn't using his full strength!"

"You could have killed me, but you didn't!"

"This unfamiliar kid actually has this much skill!"

Ruan Bin was utterly shocked.

He knew very well that he had used all his strength, while Li Nian on the other side had defeated him with just one move.

The second kick was a bonus.

No matter how many times they come, they will be utterly defeated by Li Nian!

After a moment, Ruan Bin's eyes flashed with resentment and venom, and he thought to himself:

"This child is so young, yet his cultivation level has likely surpassed mine!"

"The feud has already been established; if we don't kill him, there will be endless trouble in the future!"

"We have to find a chance to kill him!"

At that moment, Li Nian took in all the changes in Ruan Bin's expression. He narrowed his eyes, and a flash of murderous intent appeared in them.

He could have killed Ruan Bin just now.

Just one move—

Shattering Clouds and Tearing Wind!

The reason they didn't kill him was because this was inside the city, and Ruan Bin was of high status.

Killing it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

If you really want to kill someone, you need to find a deserted place.

Or, when we can be fearless of the Ruan family!

Composing himself, Li Nian walked to Ruan Hanyuan's side, helped her up, and asked with concern:

"Is Junior Sister Ruan alright?"

Ruan Hanyuan stared at Li Nian for a long time, still immersed in Li Nian's powerful strength.

After a long while, Ruan Hanyuan came to her senses. She felt Li Nian so close, his arms around hers. Her heart pounded, her face flushed, and she nervously withdrew her hands, unable to look Li Nian in the eye. She said:

"I...I'm fine."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Li!"

"It's good that you're alright."

Li Nian nodded.

Then, with a cold gaze, he looked at Ruan Bin and said:

"roll!"

"You just wait, kid!"

Ruan Bin gritted his teeth and gave a cold rebuke.

Having said that, fearing that he might anger Li Nian and be killed by him, he urged his men to help him leave.

Watching Ruan Bin flee in panic, Li Nian's eyes were filled with coldness.

After Ruan Bin fled the alley, Yi Jieyi walked over and said:

"Brother Li, you were right not to kill Ruan Bin."

"However, Ruan Bin is a vindictive and unscrupulous playboy who will surely cause you trouble in the future."

"But don't worry, when I get back I will report to the authorities and have them send more people to take care of your residence, so that he won't threaten you by contacting your family."

Li Nian looked at Yi Jieyi with admiration and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Brother Li, you said you wouldn't call me Second Miss."

"I'm sorry, thank you, Yui!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Jieyi revealed a bright smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons, making her exceptionally beautiful.

Li Nian gave Yi Jieyi a deep look.

This girl is a year younger than him, but she is mature and knows a lot about the people she might come into contact with, and can think of ways to deal with them immediately. She is extraordinary!

Yi Jieyi said to Ruan Hanyuan:

"Is this young lady from the Ruan family?"

"This humble woman, Ruan Hanyuan, greets the Second Miss of the Yi family."

Ruan Hanyuan quickly bowed and greeted him.

The Yi family has two beautiful young ladies who study at Zhaowu Academy, and Ruan Hanyuan is naturally aware of this.

Yi Jieyi said:

"Miss Ruan must be from a collateral branch of the Ruan family. Now that you've been targeted by Ruan Bin, returning to the Ruan family would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

"I see that Miss Ruan possesses a strong aura of vitality, presumably having opened the Blood Gate. My sister and I are lacking a personal guard, and we haven't found a suitable candidate. I wonder if Miss Ruan could come and help us?"

"I will give you official status in the government office. As long as you're within the city, no matter how outrageous Ruan Bin is, he won't dare harm anyone in the government office!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hanyuan was flattered and quickly declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss!"

"To be honest, Second Miss, I only recently opened my Blood Gate thanks to the Blood Pill given to me by Senior Brother Li. My strength is limited, and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you both..."

"The most important quality for a personal bodyguard is loyalty. Miss Ruan is honest about her situation and is also Senior Brother Li's junior sister, making her the most suitable!"

Yi Jieyi interrupted Ruan Hanyuan and extended a sincere invitation.

Thinking to myself: Li Nian gave Ruan Hanyuan the pills and then beat Ruan Bin in a fit of anger for the sake of her. Ruan Hanyuan and Li Nian have a special relationship. I have to build a good sisterly relationship for the future!
