The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye!

Li Xiuyuan was only a hundred miles away from the Sword Heart Tomb!

"Phew! We're almost there!" Lei Wujie breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of wine, and looked at Li Xiuyuan beside him, asking curiously, "Brother-in-law, when exactly is the life-or-death calamity you mentioned for Xiao Se?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Se also turned his head.

These past few days, although he knew he wasn't afraid of death, the feeling of being watched by a group of assassins in the dark was extremely unpleasant!

It's like having a knife dangling over your head.

He was also very clear that he was going to be stabbed!

But the knife just wouldn't come down!

So, Mr. Xiao hasn't slept much these past two days, and he has very dark circles under his eyes!

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan blinked, took a sip of wine, and said, "I've done some calculations, and there are still ten..."

"Ten days?" Lei Wujie scratched his head and guessed.

Li Xiuyuan remained calm and continued, "Nine, eight..."

Xiao Se then realized that the monk was setting up a countdown!

Immediately tensed all his muscles, ready to deal with any unexpected situation!

Meanwhile, inside the carriage!

Li Hanyi suddenly opened her eyes and said to Tian Nv Rui beside her, "Be careful, it's about to begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared from all directions in the dense forest, each with a powerful aura, enveloping Li Xiuyuan and his group!

A man in black, carrying an umbrella, slowly stood in front of Li Xiuyuan. His gaze fell on Li Xiuyuan, and he said calmly, "Mad monk, today, I've come to take your life!"

"This benefactor, you actually want to take my life? That's too cruel!" Li Xiuyuan blinked, jumped off his horse, and walked step by step towards Su Muyu!

Xiao Se's expression changed as he recognized Su Muyu and warned, "Monk, be careful! He is the Umbrella-Holding Ghost, one of the four great demons of the Dark River!"

"Demon?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly, his feet still moving, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Boss Xiao, I, a monk, love to convert demons the most!"

"Oh?"

Su Muyu looked coldly at Li Xiuyuan, but her heart sank slightly!

He couldn't see through Li Xiuyuan's cultivation level!

This monk seems to have fatal flaws all over his body; a single move could kill him!

But... is it really that simple?

At that moment, Xie Qidao, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer!

Curious to see what Li Xiuyuan was capable of, he immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Mad monk, I'll take you on! Take this!"

Chapter 153 I thank Seven Blades, and beneath Seven Blades, there will surely be souls lost!

After saying that, Xie Qidao slashed at Li Xiuyuan with his sword, intending to kill him with one blow!

"Oh my god, you scared me to death!" Li Xiuyuan patted his chest, waving his arms and legs excitedly, having just narrowly dodged Xie Qidao!

Then he twisted his waist and lightly bumped Xie Qidao's shoulder!

"boom!"

Xie Qidao felt as if a city wall was crashing into him!

Completely powerless, he was sent flying by Li Xiuyuan, soaring a full hundred feet away!

Li Xiuyuan raised his hand to his eyes, looking at Xie Qidao who had been knocked away, and shouted loudly, "Hey, benefactor, how did you fly?"

"hiss!"

Su Muyu's expression changed drastically. Xie Qidao's strike wasn't particularly powerful!

It was easy for him to block it!

But someone as nonchalant as this monk simply cannot do it!

Immediately, Su Muyu felt a sense of relief!

Fortunately, I came here to kill Xiao Se!

Otherwise, even if all of us died here, we might not be able to do anything to this mad monk!

Then, he glanced at Xiao Se beside him!

On the other side, Xiao Se looked at Xie Qidao with some surprise in his heart.

This time, Dark River has truly deployed its elite forces to kill me!

Are these assassins all around us the Spider Shadow Legion from the legends of the Dark River?

He asked, "Xie Qidao is here too?"

"Again, the four great demons of the Dark River?" Lei Wujie scratched his head, looking at Xie Qidao who had been easily knocked away by Li Xiuyuan, and said with some surprise, "But is this level... a bit too weak?"

"Perhaps that mad monk is too strong!" Xiao Se stroked his chin, feeling somewhat puzzled as well. If it was only this level...

There's no way he could kill me!

Judging from the mad monk's condition, a group of assassins would be no match for him!

"Mad monk! You're no ordinary person!" Su Muyu wasn't in a hurry to attack, but instead slowly stalled for time, saying, "Unfortunately, you're going to die here today!"

"I, the monk, foresaw that I would have a very auspicious day today, with no life-threatening crisis! On the contrary, you, benefactor, have a dark aura, a sign that your days are numbered!" Li Xiuyuan retorted with a grin, then said to Su Muyu, "Esteemed benefactor, harmony is the best policy. How about we each take a step back?"

"That's not impossible!" Su Muyu made up her mind to stall for time.

He glanced at Mu Ying, who was already disguised as Tang Lian and was less than three zhang away from Xiao Se!

And the real Tang Lian, just so happens, cannot see each other!

Xiao Se and his group were so focused on this that they didn't even notice that Tang Lian had appeared on the field!

“Tang Lian…you…” Lei Wujie noticed the commotion and turned to look.

Then they realized something was wrong; there seemed to be two senior disciples on the field.

That's what I just thought of!

Mu Ying had already approached within a meter of Xiao Se, took out the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, aimed them at Xiao Se, and activated them directly!

Xiao Se's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with surprise!

He was confused as to why Tang Lian would suddenly attack him!

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Dozens of poisoned needles pierced Xiao Se's body in an instant!

"Desolate!"

Sikong Qianluo cried out in surprise, looking at Mu Ying with some shock!

Then he turned his head and looked at Tang Lian, who was also looking stunned, not far away. He immediately realized that the one who killed Xiao Se was a fake!

He immediately grabbed his spear and charged towards Mu Ying!

Almost simultaneously, Lei Wujie, having realized what was happening, drew his Listening Rain Sword and charged towards Mu Ying!

"With dozens of needles embedded in his body, he's beyond saving, even a god couldn't save him!" Su Muyu chuckled as she witnessed Xiao Se being struck by over a dozen needles, and said, "Mission accomplished, retreat!"

As he spoke, his body moved like a ghost, swiftly turning back!

Seeing this, Xie Qidao was about to leave when Li Xiuyuan put one hand on his shoulder.

A carefree voice rang out: "Hey, benefactor, what's the rush!"

Xie Qidao felt a chill run down his spine; this monk was simply too eerie!

He immediately turned around, dodging Li Xiuyuan's palm, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Hmph! Crazy monk, I don't have time to play with you!"

"Hey! Benefactor, that's not right of you! I, the monk, kindly wanted to play with you, but you refused!" Li Xiuyuan sighed, then flashed to block Xie Qidao's escape route, looking very sad, and said, "Benefactor, your behavior makes me... very sad!"

Xie Qidao had no will to fight at this moment. He had no chance of winning against Li Xiuyuan's strength!

He immediately pleaded with Su Muyu for help, "Su Muyu, come and help us deal with this crazy monk!"

"Humph!"

Su Muyu glanced at it indifferently, then turned and ran even faster!

Judging from the strength displayed by this mad monk!

Staying behind would only mean dying alongside Xie Qidao!

He turned around and didn't look back!

In the blink of an eye, it had vanished!

Xie Qidao's face immediately turned to despair. He turned to look at Li Xiuyuan and roared, "Mad monk, you think you can kill me so easily? Prepare to die!"

After saying that, he slashed down at Li Xiuyuan with his sword again!

"Oh dear! Benefactor, it's not good for you to be so irritable!" Li Xiuyuan easily dodged Xie Qidao's slash, twisted his waist, and sent Xie Qidao flying again!

On the other side, Mu Ying didn't engage in any fighting with Lei Wujie or Sikong Qianluo.

After succeeding, they turned and left!

In the blink of an eye, they've vanished without a trace!

Only Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo remained, standing there, staring blankly at Xiao Se lying on the ground!

but!

After their initial anger subsided, Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo calmed down and noticed something unusual about Xiao Se on the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Se lay on the ground, motionless, breathing weakly, as if he was about to die!

It seemed like he was just a tiny bit away from dying!

Lei Wujie looked at Xiao Se and his heart stirred. He remembered the golden light that Li Xiuyuan had sent into Xiao Se's body.
