Chapter 49 I Won't Kill You
Li Xiuyuan, who had been stabbed in the shoulder, was now fully activating his Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt techniques.
Taking advantage of Han Jingfu's momentary daze, he deflected the sword and quickly retreated.
Looking at Li Mingyue, whose head had been half-slapped away by his palm.
Li Xiuyuan, however, did not feel any cruelty whatsoever.
After all, Li Xiuyuan knew that Li Mingyue and her apprentice would never let him go.
Therefore, when he decided to make his move, Li Xiuyuan held nothing back, even willing to take a sword strike to kill Li Mingyue instantly.
Li Mingyue is dead.
The Li family of Yuanguang City has been completely wiped out. As for himself?
From Li Xiuyuan's perspective, who had transmigrated from another era, this was an even more important step in severing the karmic ties with his predecessor.
The Xiushui Pavilion expert wielding a long sword and heading towards her was none other than Li Mingyue's master.
Whether it's to avenge her disciple or to obtain the "Absorption Technique" from her, this old woman has no intention of letting her go.
With a swift movement, Li Xiuyuan was already a hundred feet away. Thanks to the pure internal energy he had just absorbed, along with the many healing pills he had taken, the shocking sword wound on his shoulder had been temporarily relieved.
"Boy, don't run away..."
Li Xiuyuan slowed down slightly, and a sharp sword aura arrived from behind him in an instant.
With a "whoosh," the golden bell shield formed by the outward release of internal energy was directly torn apart by this sword.
Li Xiuyuan took a few steps back.
They sensed the sword energy tearing through space, accompanied by gusts of chilly night wind.
"Li Xiuyuan, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you hand over that technique today, I might let you die a little easier."
Standing there, Han Jingfu locked her aura onto Li Xiuyuan, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.
Although Li Mingyue's murder made her angry and heartbroken.
However, Han Jingfu is not only Li Mingyue's disciple. The reason why she followed her disciple Li Mingyue to Yunzhou City and even Yuanguang City was mainly for the mysterious technique that Shangguan Xiuhong used back then.
"As expected, even the elders of Xiushui Pavilion are after the cultivation technique I possess. As for their claim of avenging their disciple, it's just an excuse."
Li Xiuyuan spoke slowly, while his internal energy surged through his dantian meridians.
Although the Yi Jin Jing was only at the beginner level, the injuries on his body were rapidly healing as he practiced it.
"Hehe... Little kid, you've achieved so much in such a short time, you must have mastered that technique that can absorb the opponent's internal energy."
"But you can't master such a heaven-defying technique. After all, even someone as talented as your mother, Shangguan Xiuhong, ended up disappearing without a trace in the martial world. Do you think you can be as powerful as her?"
As she spoke, Han Jingfu slowly stepped forward.
They were one step closer to Li Xiuyuan, now less than three zhang apart.
"Here's what we'll do: if you hand over that technique, I can take you away from Yunzhou City."
Do you know that the entire city of Yunzhou is looking for you? You can't escape!
Within three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
Han Jingfu's eyes were full of cold smiles. The reason she was talking nonsense and taking steps forward was to gain absolute control.
Because of the sword technique she practiced, even experts of the same level would find it difficult to dodge attacks within three zhang (approximately 10 meters), let alone Li Xiuyuan, who had already been seriously injured by her.
"hehe……"
Li Xiuyuan smiled calmly; he had almost fully recovered during this brief respite.
Without any hesitation, he took a step forward and, with his max-level Lightning Speed Step, was already in front of Han Jingfu in the blink of an eye.
"court death!"
Han Jingfu, after all, was a sixth-rank peak elder of Xiushui Pavilion, and her experience in the martial arts world was naturally far superior to Li Xiuyuan's.
Almost the instant Li Xiuyuan moved, the long sword in her hand pierced directly through Li Xiuyuan's dantian.
It was as fast as lightning, giving Li Xiuyuan no chance to react.
With a "hum", the illusory image of the Golden Bell Shield shattered. In the blink of an eye, Li Xiuyuan tilted his body slightly and reached out to grab the sharp sword!
The sharp sword was grabbed by Li Xiuyuan, whose sharp true energy directly pierced through Li Xiuyuan's palm.
Amidst the gushing blood, Li Xiuyuan quickly released his grip, simultaneously slamming his body into Han Jingfu's.
With a "bang".
Han Jingfu was about to draw her sword and cut off Li Xiuyuan's arm, but to her surprise, Li Xiuyuan not only did not retreat or dodge, but instead charged straight at her.
With the Golden Bell Cover technique at its beginner level, Iron Shirt at its maximum level, and the Crushing Fist, Eagle Claw, and Iron Sand Palm all at their maximum levels, especially the Absorption Technique at its maximum level, Li Xiuyuan's physical body underwent a tremendous transformation.
This collision at that moment.
Han Jingfu felt as if she had been hit by a huge rock.
Instantly, excruciating pain spread throughout my body; I felt as if several of my ribs and sternum had broken.
His inner energy instantly scattered, and he was sent flying, unable to suppress the surging blood and qi.
A mouthful of blood spurted out with a "pfft".
At the same time, Li Xiuyuan was also feeling unwell.
As expected of someone who has reached the peak of the sixth rank, if he really had true qi protecting him, I would probably be the one seriously injured by this collision.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and strode forward, throwing a punch directly at Han Jingfu, who had not yet regained her footing!
"Damn it..."
Upon seeing the lightning-fast punch, Han Jingfu immediately gritted her teeth and swung her sword, attempting to force Li Xiuyuan back.
Because of the impact Li Xiuyuan had just suffered, the true energy that had been dispersed within his body had not yet returned. Therefore, this hastily unleashed sword strike could only break through the rapidly condensing golden bell shield phantom outside Li Xiuyuan's body, without causing any further damage to him.
But at the very moment the golden bell shield shattered, Li Xiuyuan's fist had already reached Han Jingfu's chest.
A punch landed with a loud "thud".
"You damned little beast, you... *splat*!"
Han Jingfu's sternum was broken by this powerful punch, and before she could finish speaking, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Li Xiuyuan, Li Xiuyuan is here..."
"Notify the city lord's men; we can't let him escape!"
Immediately afterwards, a signal flare shot into the sky and exploded with a "bang".
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan, who was about to rush forward, suddenly saw more than a dozen people shouting and charging towards him from not far away!
He glanced again at the signal flare that had exploded into the sky, and immediately frowned.
Without lingering, he turned and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Having just fought with this sixth-rank peak Xiushui Pavilion elder.
Li Xiuyuan already knew that although he was physically strong and protected by the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt, he was now in a precarious situation.
Against any martial artist below the sixth rank, it's almost an instant kill, like cutting melons and vegetables.
But when they encountered a sixth-rank martial artist who had cultivated true qi, even one like Shangguan Hongtao who had just entered the sixth rank.
Even though I've become much stronger now, it will still be difficult for me to kill my opponent.
Even the Absorption Technique can no longer absorb true energy!
On the contrary, the illusory image of the Golden Bell Shield formed by one's own internal energy being released outward, or the Iron Shirt Body Protection, will be injured by the true energy.
If he can't beat one or two sixth-rank martial artists, he can just run away.
But if there are seven or eight like Han Jingfu, it's safe to say that I have no chance of winning.
Right now, he is being hunted down by the entire Yunzhou City, so it is perfectly normal for him to send out a sixth-rank official.
Moreover, the Shangguan and Lin families probably wish they could capture him now, force him to reveal the "Absorption Technique," and then tear him to pieces!
The more Li Xiuyuan thought about it, the more he felt he had to break through to the next level and cultivate true qi as soon as possible.
As long as one can convert internal energy into true qi, one's combat power will instantly increase several times.
Moreover, even at its maximum level, the "Absorption Technique" can only truly unleash its terrifying power once one reaches the True Qi Realm.
More importantly, the Lin family, the Shangguan family, and the City Lord's Mansion have all set their sights on him.
They all wanted to seize the "Absorption Technique" that they had cultivated.
Moreover, in Yunzhou City today, it's not just them; there are countless others operating in secret.
Therefore, I must break through to the sixth rank as soon as possible!
As Li Xiuyuan continued forward, he saw a group of people carrying torches, searching for him.
Li Xiuyuan immediately recognized them as Lin family guards from their clothing.
He bumped right into it and had no choice but to stop.
Li Xiuyuan's gaze locked onto the leader, a peak seventh-rank martial artist.
"Li Xiuyuan, it's Li Xiuyuan... surround him!"
The seventh-rank guard leader of the Lin family spotted Li Xiuyuan at a glance, using the torchlight.
He immediately shouted angrily.
Immediately, these people rushed forward and tried to surround Li Xiuyuan.
The loud shouts here naturally attracted the attention of the city guards patrolling nearby.
Almost the instant Li Xiuyuan took a step, a signal flare shot into the sky.
Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and the next moment he directly knocked the guard commander away, then grabbed him in mid-air and sucked him clean.
He then turned around and grabbed at the dozen or so guards who had surrounded him.
Suddenly, a surge of pure internal energy flew out from these people and converged towards Li Xiuyuan.
It completely entered his body.
Feel the surging, pure internal energy within your dantian.
Li Xiuyuan then looked at the Lin family guards who were staring at him in utter astonishment and fear.
He then turned his gaze to the Lin family guard commander, whose power he had drained and who had become a cripple.
"You, Li Xiuyuan... what kind of evil technique have you been practicing that allows you to absorb other people's power?"
Don't come any closer, don't come any closer...
Li Xiuyuan didn't say a word, watching the city guards rushing towards him at high speed not far away.
Li Xiuyuan struck down with his palm.
"what!"
Amidst screams, the Lin family's guard commander's head exploded, and he died on the spot.
Blood and bits of flesh splattered everywhere, causing most of the Lin family guards who had had their power drained to faint instantly.
The rest of them trembled all over, watching in horror as Li Xiuyuan slowly stood up.
And just as Li Xiuyuan stood up.
The front panel slowly appeared:
[Level cap conditions have been met; the "Three Thousand Waves Palm" skill is now at max level!]
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan felt an indescribable sense of pleasure, with warm currents spreading throughout his body.
The cultivation experience of the seventh-grade martial art "Three Thousand Overlapping Waves Palm" was instantly integrated.
He looked at the city guard commander who had rushed up to him and stopped, looking at him with a solemn expression.
He was also a peak seventh-rank martial artist.
He had a long sword at his waist, and his eyes were fixed on me with utmost seriousness.
It was obvious that he had just witnessed Li Xiuyuan slap the Lin family guard commander, who was of equal strength to him, to death.
"Li Xiuyuan, you are suspected of..."
And at this moment, after digesting and integrating the max-level "Three Thousand Waves Palm".
Before the man in front of him could finish speaking, Li Xiuyuan took a step forward and struck the city guard commander with a palm strike...
