Great Display of Might, Avenging Old Grudges
At the critical moment, a shout of "Stop!" came from afar, and a figure leaped into the air and entered the arena, attacking from both sides with his fists.
Upon seeing this, Senior Brother Peng immediately unleashed his "Leopard-Seizing Hand," reaching out with both hands to grab the incoming fists, his palms completely swallowing the fists.
The visitor was none other than Ding Hu.
As soon as they exchanged blows, Ding Hu realized he was outmatched.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. He tried to pull his hands back to unleash his next move, but he felt that his opponent's wrists were extremely strong, and his hands were like iron shackles, firmly holding his hands in place.
Left with no other choice, he had to fight head-on. His Inner Qi surged and flowed into his fists. Senior Brother Peng grinned and said, "You piece of trash who can't even Qi Circulation Through the Heavens, dare to compete with me in Inner Qi?" He stomped his feet, and an even stronger surge of Inner Qi came.
The two streams of Inner Qi were vying for dominance.
The clothes of both fighters fluttered loudly as they fought. The surrounding crowd watched in amazement, marveling at the spectacle. Although martial artists were common, such a duel was a rare sight.
Ordinary people don't even know what "Inner Qi" is.
Even a blind man could tell who was stronger. After only a short while, Ding Hu was soaked to the bone and his face was deathly pale, but he was barely holding on.
Among the Grade-A House Guard, only Hua Hanying could Qi Circulation Through the Heavens. Ding Hu could be considered among the best, slightly stronger Fang Bichun, with more Blood Qi and a younger age.
But Senior Brother Peng was always two steps ahead of him.
Senior Brother Peng twisted his waist wildly, lifting Ding Hu into the air. The Leopard Saber Sect members exclaimed, "Senior Brother Peng, what incredible skill! You've mastered the Leopard Waist Force to such an extent!" "Such exquisite Leopard Waist Force! Senior Brother Peng is about to be able to wield the saber!" "Impressive! Impressive! Senior Brother Peng truly lives up to Master's high regard!"
Senior Brother Peng was strong and tall. His waist made crackling sounds, and with each crack, his strength increased.
This martial art is truly remarkable. It trains the spine to be like a bowstring, fully utilizing each vertebra, resulting in strength like an arrow released from a bow. Every bit of power is used to its fullest potential.
With a whoosh, Senior Brother Peng swung his weapon with brute force. Ding Hu, a seven-foot-tall man, was no match for him and was flung away.
He crashed into the towering pillar of the building. If the impact had been solid, Ding Hu's bones would have been shattered, or he would have been reduced to a pulp. The sheer brutality of the attack truly shocked everyone present.
The tide was clearly unstoppable.
The crowd had closed their eyes, but they heard no sound of blood and flesh flying. When they looked again, they saw Ding Hu standing on the ground, with a handsome young man standing beside him who had a prominent mole between his eyebrows.
"Commander Li!"
The Guard were overjoyed, but then their faces fell. They still vividly remembered how Commander Pang had been injured. Commander Li was so young; how could he possibly withstand the current situation?
Fang Bichun cupped his hands and said, "Commander Li, it's best to stop fighting. If we continue, we'll be all gone!"
All the Guard shared this view.
Ding Hu hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but then stopped. No one else had witnessed what had just happened except him.
He had just been thrown off his feet and knew he was going to die. He was filled with bitterness when suddenly someone pressed down on his shoulder.
The momentum vanished instantly, and they immediately regained their footing.
Such martial arts prowess was beyond his comprehension. However, the Leopard Saber Sect possessed profound strength, and he didn't know how many other powerful figures they might have.
Then Senior Brother Peng laughed and said, "Young man, who are you? I heard from them that you are their leader?"
Li Xian had intentionally let Ding Hu make the first move to observe the Leopard Saber Sect's style of operation and to consider the strength and degree of his attack.
Li Xian replied, "Yes." Upon hearing the word "commander," the Leopard Saber Sect members all burst into laughter, their expressions brimming with contempt.
Senior Brother Peng's eyes flashed, and he stretched his limbs, saying, "The last commander couldn't withstand three strikes from Senior Brother Wang. Hehe... This time, I hope you can withstand three punches from me."
His waist was taut, his strength and energy unified. His muscles and bones were fully stretched, and with a powerful thrust of his feet, his figure shot forward, charging fiercely.
Li Xian stepped back to the side. The blue bricks in front of him shattered, crushed by Senior Brother Peng's foot. Seeing that his attack had missed, Senior Brother Peng twisted his body and threw a punch.
The martial arts he has learned so far all revolve around the muscles, bones, and spine. They are extremely lethal, and one unit of force can be used as ten units.
But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Although Senior Brother Peng's strength was fierce, his intentions were clear with each punch.
Furthermore, the "force line" is too long. The trajectory of each punch starts from the soles of the feet, flows through the spine to strengthen, and finally reaches the hands.
In Li Xian's eyes... it was naturally full of loopholes.
"All you can do is dodge!" Senior Brother Peng was getting annoyed after several missed attacks. The onlookers couldn't see the difference in skill, but they secretly felt a chill for Li Xian.
Li Xian said calmly, "Weak, too weak." Senior Brother Peng continued his relentless attacks, his eyes widening, "What did you say?"
Before Senior Brother Peng could speak, Li Xian grabbed him by the hair and slammed him to the ground.
The blue bricks shattered, and Senior Brother Peng's head was buried deep in the ground. His legs twitched, and it was unclear whether he had fainted or was truly dead.
Everyone fell silent, their heads buzzing.
That senior brother Peng, relying on his strength to bully the weak, was young, strong, and extremely arrogant. Yet, he was easily defeated by someone even stronger and younger.
Li Xian stood still, his face calm. He possessed a composed demeanor and extraordinary bearing, exuding an aura that seemed to overwhelm all.
"Quick! Go and invite Senior Brother Liu!"
The Leopard Saber Sect had previously been very powerful, spewing out all sorts of insults and vulgarities. They wanted to humiliate the Guard of the One Accord Manor to the point of being completely humiliated.
But after being so intimidated, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere became heavy. They could only hope that another powerful figure in the sect could overshadow Li Xian.
That Senior Brother Liu is a second-generation disciple and a skilled swordsman.
The Leopard Saber Sect has strict rules and was originally moved here from elsewhere. If you want to practice swordsmanship... even serving the sect leader for ten years might not guarantee you the True Disciple.
"Who dares to be so arrogant here and harm my fellow disciples from the Leopard Saber Sect!" A loud shout rang out.
Liu Hong, from the Leopard Saber Sect, arrived at the scene. He carried a large sword on his back, indicating he was well-prepared.
He was already over thirty years old and was clearly more composed than his disciples. He glanced at the situation in the arena, about to utter some distorted words and then display his power.
Li Xian, however, took the initiative to attack. He threw a simple, unadorned punch, but Liu Hong, overconfident, snorted coldly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and raised his hand to receive it. He muttered incessantly:
"Ignorant brat! I, Liu Hong, have cultivated for over a decade. How could you possibly compare? Watch as I take you down with a single hand!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was struck as if by lightning. He felt a powerful surge of Inner Qi sweeping over him like Withered-Wood Shattering. His prized Inner Qi proved utterly vulnerable and was defeated in an instant.
He was sent flying backward, vomiting three mouthfuls of blood before fainting.
Simple, direct, and efficient.
"Commander, you are mighty! Commander, you are mighty!" The Guard' morale soared.
Li Xian frowned, pondering, "In the current situation, I'm the only one holding things together. If it turns into a group fight, One Accord Manor will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. If I turn around and run, the livelihood of the county will be gone."
An idea came to mind, and he said something to Ding Hu. Upon hearing this, Ding Hu took a step back and disappeared into the crowd.
Li Xian alone held the line, a man who could hold off ten thousand.
He said, "Anyone else who disagrees, come and face them!" The Leopard Saber Sect fell silent, daring not to speak out in their anger. They wanted to hurl insults, but seeing the miserable state of Senior Brother Peng and Senior Brother Liu, their words were cut off.
The somber atmosphere only turned into cheers upon the arrival of one person.
"Commander Li, this man... is the culprit who injured Commander Pang." Fang Bichun stepped forward, his expression grave.
A young man, dressed in Golden Leopard -patterned outfit, arrived at the fighting arena.
The crowd gasped in amazement, and a child exclaimed, "Mother, this is a fairy!"
Even more extreme, some have already knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Xian looked directly at the person, his brows furrowing slightly. This person was deliberately showing off, his entire body surging with Qi and Blood, carrying a rainbow on his shoulder, indicating he was about to enter the "Essence Consumption" stage.
Because he comes from a sect, his strength is probably even greater than that of Zheng Blood Palm and others.
The Leopard Spine Force, Leopard-Seizing Hand techniques, and other martial arts were enough to reveal the extraordinary nature of the Leopard Saber Sect.
"Senior Brother Wang, this boy is also a commander. Please capture him and avenge us!"
"Senior Brother Wang, it's all up to you now! This kid has some skill."
Upon seeing the man arrive, the Leopard Saber Sect felt their courage surge.
Wang Bao was twenty-six years old, a remarkable young man. The character "Bao" in his name was bestowed upon him by the sect leader, Xu Liefeng.
He was raised as if he were his son.
Upon seeing Li Xian's face, Wang Bao was suddenly taken aback. Having received the sect leader's True Disciple, he possessed remarkable insight. Seeing the red mole between Li Xian's eyebrows, he guessed it was a "Transformed Anomaly," and for a moment, he felt a surge of envy and jealousy.
Wang Bao said, "When you took over as commander, I cut off your hand and kicked your foot. I thought that One Accord Manor, you would be bedridden forever. I didn't expect you to be so bold as to provoke me."
He gripped the knife with both hands, and a rainbow-like glow shone over his shoulders.
Li Xian had fought against the Jar Immortal and Zheng Blood Palm before his [Transformed Aspect] was even revealed, yet he was still fearless. Now that his strength has improved, there is even less reason for him to be afraid.
"Then I'll cut off your hands and kick your legs," Li Xian said calmly, his hand pressing against the hilt of his sword.
Wang Bao sneered, "Fine, fine, ignorance is bliss." Though his words were arrogant, he was not underestimating his opponent.
As they were talking, he suddenly swept the blade downwards, sending the bluestone slabs flying and crashing down on Li Xian. The splattering of dirt obscured his vision.
Li Xian was not careless. He drew his narrow sword and cleaved the stone slab in two. Dust billowed up and enveloped him.
Wang Bao hid in the mud and mist.
He darted left and right with incredible speed, when suddenly a flash of light appeared, and a blade came slashing down right in front of him. Li Xian parried with his own blade, and sparks flew everywhere.
Wang Bao's sword technique is called "Golden Leopard Swift Saber." The essence of the technique lies in the word "speed." He first learned "Leopard-Seizing Hand" and "Leopard Spine Force" to lay the foundation.
After switching to the Golden Leopard Swift Saber, one can quickly Initiation. The swordsmanship is not only fast but also extremely lethal.
The blade was incredibly fast, slicing through the air, accompanied by the roar of a leopard.
Moreover, his swordsmanship was extremely agile. As soon as Wang Bao slashed down, he pulled away, creating distance and giving Li Xian no chance to counterattack.
Their harassment and attack tactics were executed to the fullest extent.
Li Xian snorted coldly, his "Great Luo Saber Technique" Major Accomplishment mastered, his skill profound, perfectly protecting both inside and out. His blade techniques were controlled and precise. Wang Bao sneered, "You're quite formidable, but how can you possibly defeat me?"
After speaking, he swept his sword across the ground again, stirring up clouds of mud and dust that continued to obscure the view.
Li Xian remained calm and composed, unleashing the essence of the Great Luo Saber, "Crosswoven Saber Net." This move aims to weave a net of blades using both horizontal and vertical blade paths, pushing it horizontally with considerable power.
The crisscrossing sword strikes were indeed extremely powerful.
Wang Bao said, "That's all." He was well-versed in swordsmanship and observed that Li Xian's swordsmanship consisted of only one vertical and one horizontal stroke. Although his skill was profound, his swordsmanship was too rudimentary and had many flaws.
Seizing a gap in his swordplay, he moved with the agility of a leopard, slashing at Li Xian's wrist.
Li Xian narrowed his eyes. With a flick of his wrist, the number of sword shadows suddenly multiplied several times, becoming impenetrable.
Based on the "Crosswoven Saber Net", the essence of the "Four Directions Fist" is flexibly applied.
The martial arts techniques they practice are combined in countless ways, resulting in a myriad of variations. This is unmatched by anyone!
The number of sword shadows suddenly increased several times over. Wang Bao was taken aback, but he was already enveloped by the sword's power.
Light and shadow intertwined, blood splattered.
A scream suddenly rang out.
Countless blades struck, their incredibly fast flashes slicing through the dust and mist.
All the onlookers saw was Li Xian's swordsmanship moving so fast it left afterimages, as if several hands had appeared out of thin air. The swordsmanship only had two paths, vertical and horizontal, but it was so dense that it was like a wall of swords.
Wang Bao's body was covered in knife wounds, and he was exhausted from parrying. The wounds kept accumulating on his body. His clothes were tattered, and he had hundreds of knife wounds all over his body.
Li Xian had mastered his skills and was incredibly powerful. The entire audience fell silent, including the Leopard Saber Sect, the Guard of the One Accord Manor, and even the onlookers.
Everyone was dumbfounded and utterly horrified!
