"Tsk" A small stone hit the arrow, and the two exploded behind the old man in black.
Fu Qingshi turned around and said: "Brother Li, you..."
Li Muchan said: "Go down and have a look."
Fu Qingshi nodded helplessly and followed Li Muchan down the tree, out of the woods, and outside.
Although he doesn't have a good impression of the Shenzong Guards, after all, human life is at stake and cannot be ignored. Besides, the guys in Tianlang Mountain are not good people and deserve to die even more than the Shenzong Guards.
Shenzong Guards, no wonder they are arrogant. They are qualified to be arrogant, but it would be inevitable for me to be arrogant. Shenzong Guards, Shenzong Guards!
The Shenzong Guards are the Royal Guards who are responsible for guarding the Forbidden Palace. Each one of them is an elite selected from thousands of people. Not only must they have a clear financial status and be absolutely loyal, but they must also have high martial arts skills that are far superior to their peers.
They were treated well and had a high status. Even the rich and powerful had to be courteous. Who made them the emperor's people? When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. If you offend them, you offend the emperor.
With such a status, facing an ordinary martial artist and a commoner, it is natural that he would not be angry at him, and it is natural to be a little arrogant.
Although he is the young leader of the Thousand Crane Sect, he is still an ordinary citizen to the imperial court, and it is nothing if he is a little angry.
Fu Qingshi comforted himself and followed Li Muchan slowly closer.
The knights in black showed surprise on their faces. Only one knight had a strange expression and looked at Li Muchan in surprise. He was the knight who came into the woods earlier.
Li Muchan slowly came to the crowd, smiled and said: "Everyone is scared, is it okay?"
A knight in black took a step forward, clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you for your help, brother, I can't thank you enough!"
He is about forty years old, with handsome appearance. He must have been a handsome man when he was young. Now he is still handsome, elegant and well-educated.
Li Muchan cupped his fists and returned the salute: "It is also necessary to draw a sword to help when there is an injustice on the road... Tianlang Mountain has done the opposite and has done a lot of harm to innocent people, which is really a big harm. I was about to come here to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect you all to fight first.
It just saved me a lot of trouble."
The knight in black smiled, feeling that although the master in front of him was young, he spoke with tact, and he was indeed the material to be an official together.
He clasped his fists and said, "I'm Lu Dongying, haven't you asked me your brother's name?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Li Feng, this is Fu Jie."
"It turns out to be Mr. Li, Mr. Fu,... please help us, sir!" Lu Dongying said sincerely, cupping his fists.
He felt that Li Muchan had a cool and elegant demeanor, and was obviously not a worldly person. He did not talk about repayment, but was moved by emotion.
As one of the leaders of the Shenzong Guard, he has also developed the ability to recognize people. He knows how to talk to people and ghosts, and how to get what they want.
****************************
Li Muchan nodded: "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."
Suddenly a pebble flew out of his sleeve and hit Lu Dongying like a flash of lightning.
Lu Dongying froze and had no time to avoid it.
"Ding!" There was a crisp sound beside him, and he relaxed suddenly. He turned around and looked around. An arrow fell by his feet, with a small stone embedded in the arrowhead.
He looked at Li Muchan in surprise, secretly shocked by the depth of his inner strength.
Logically speaking, when the pebble meets the tip of the arrow, the arrow is embedded in the stone. But what we see now is exactly the opposite, the pebble is embedded in the arrow.
Li Muchan didn't wait for him to speak. He flashed and appeared behind the middle-aged man holding a gun. He slapped his hand lightly, as if he was joking.
The "bang" was like a muffled sound made by a ball hitting the ball. The middle-aged man trembled, as if his bones had been removed, and he collapsed limply. He collapsed to the ground and died immediately.
"Brother——!" Zhou Rui, who waved his long knife, roared with arrogance, jumped in front of Li Muchan, and slashed with the knife: "You deserve to die——!"
Li Muchan clapped his hand lightly, "Ding..." The long knife made a soft sound, then flew up, separated from Zhou Rui's hand, and rolled in the sky.
Zhou Rui was startled. He lowered his head and looked at his right palm. His face was twisted in a ferocious manner, and his eyes were red and seemed to be bleeding. It was obvious that the two of them had a very deep relationship.
He then collided with him. A dagger appeared in his left hand. It was black and dull. His right fist hit Li Muchan's chest, and the dagger stabbed his lower abdomen.
This stab is extremely concealed, attracting attention with the right hand, while the dagger in the left hand has no luster, no cold air, and no murderous intent. It is truly silent.
"Be careful!" The old man in black was shocked.
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled. His left palm lightly met his right fist, and with his right hand, he used a silk-winding force, grabbed his wrist, and turned it.
"Hey!" There was a crisp sound, and Zhou Rui's left wrist bent sharply, completely folding backwards. His weak hand could no longer hold the dagger. When it fell, Li Muchan reached out to grab it.
The sound of "Keba" reached their ears, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts. It was obvious that the bone was broken.
He just trembled when his wrist was broken, and the muscles on his face became more and more distorted, looking ferocious and terrifying. He stared at Li Muchan, and then punched with his right fist.
His eyes were as bright as torches. If his eyes could kill, Li Muchan would have died a dozen times.
"Chi!" There was a slight whistle, and an arrow shot through the air and hit Li Muchan's chest. Li Muchan turned sideways to avoid the arrow, and at the same time waved his hand to meet Zhou Rui's fist.
He caught Zhou Rui's wrist with his palm, rotated it in the opposite direction, and with a clear and loud "cluck" sound, Zhou Rui's wrist broke again, and both his hands were broken.
"Ah——! Ah——!" Zhou Rui waved his hands, ignoring the soft palms, and bumped into Li Muchan, trying to knock him down.
Li Muchan watched him charging towards him calmly, without any intention of evading.
The two of them were close at hand, and this cold light was so fast and unparalleled that it arrived in an instant. Li Muchan turned his head slightly, barely avoiding it, and patted it lightly with his right hand.
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Zhou Rui flew out and landed three feet away, lying side by side with a middle-aged man holding a gun.
Li Muchan shook his head with a look of regret: "What a pity..."
Fu Qingshi took a deep breath and his face turned red. The few breaths he took just now were too fast. He was nervous and held his breath unintentionally. He didn't realize he was holding his breath until it was over.
There were several heavy gasps around, they were no better than Fu Qingshi.
Fu Qingshi was secretly worried. He was really not the type to enter the world. This time Zhou Rui looked heroic and straightforward. He had no scheming and relied solely on martial arts to win.
Who would have thought that he had so many means, first a dagger, and then a hidden weapon shot from his mouth. They were all impossible to guard against, and he had no chance of survival.
I thought martial arts was important, but now it seems that just being good at martial arts is not enough. You also need careful thinking, keen eyesight, and quick reactions.
If he were Brother Li, even with his good skills, he would not be as smart as him. If he met someone like Zhou Rui, he would be capsized in the gutter.
The old man in black stepped forward and clasped his fists: "I thank my benefactor for saving my life!"
Li Muchan hurriedly waved his hands and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Senior Li is too polite. I'm Li Feng. This is my good friend Fu Jie. We just happened to meet each other. Don't mention the life-saving grace again!"
The old man in black smiled with a smile on his face, shook his head and said: "You deserve it. If my benefactor hadn't taken action, this old man would have been ruined! ...Old man Li Wancheng, we were a family five hundred years ago!"
The knights were secretly surprised. They didn't expect Mr. Li to laugh. He usually kept a straight face and was solemn. Even when facing the princes and nobles, he kept a straight face and didn't smile at all.
People thought he was born unable to laugh, so they weren't surprised. They didn't expect to see him smile like this. It was really a great experience!
Lu Dongying came over and clasped his fists and said: "Mr. Li, what should we do with those people?...Do you want to chase the archer?"
After Zhou Rui fell, the gun-wielding gang dispersed like birds and beasts, disappearing in all directions. The Shenzong guards wanted to chase but were powerless, so they could only watch as they ran away.
They were just some small minions, not worth bothering with, so they didn't pay much attention, but the archer hiding in the dark was difficult to deal with.
This man is extremely skilled in archery, and his arrows can be shot silently, making it difficult for people to guard against him.
*************************************************
Li Wancheng looked at Li Muchan and smiled: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "They are all evil people, and their crimes deserve to be punished. It's a pity that there are not enough manpower, so we can do nothing!"
Li Wancheng sighed and nodded: "Yes, this place is too far away from Fufeng City, and it's too late to send troops here. I can only let them go and give them a chance to change their ways!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I hope they can seize this opportunity."
He felt that this old man was also very good at talking, and his words were so wonderful that they not only covered up his helplessness, but also turned it into an act of kindness.
As expected, he is indeed a guard in the palace, he is different from ordinary people.
Li Wancheng said: "Come on, let me introduce Mr. Bai to Eunuch Bai."
Li Muchan hurriedly waved his hand: "Thank you, Senior Li, for your kindness. No need, I'll just take my leave!"
He turned to leave, and the door of the carriage opened, and an old man got out. He had fair hair, a childish face, kind eyes, and a few immortal features, like an Antarctic immortal.
The old man smiled and clasped his fists: "Our surname is Bai, thank you sir for helping me!"
Li Muchan clasped his fists and smiled: "Eunuch Bai, you are so polite. It just happens to be a meeting. It's just a little effort. It's nothing."
This Eunuch Bai is easy-going and kind, and his voice is soft and melodious. It is not as shrill as that of ordinary eunuchs. Instead, it has a unique charm that makes people feel relaxed.
With such a demeanor and appearance, it is no wonder that he became the chief bodyguard of the imperial concubine. The chief bodyguard has great power in the forbidden palace and can be described as extremely majestic.
Eunuch Bai smiled and asked: "Our family is of low fortune, but it is a rare opportunity to meet a noble person. I wonder where your husband is from. Do you have any parents or relatives at home?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "I am an orphan. I have been practicing in Lingyin Mountain with my master, and I have just come down from the mountain."
Eunuch Bai smiled and said: "Then we are neighbors with the same disease, and our family is also an orphan. Fortunately, we are in the palace, so we only have food to eat. It is all a blessing from God."
Li Muchan laughed a few times and said no more.
Bai Gonggong said: "Our family is lucky enough to meet an expert. This is a rare opportunity, so we must get close to him. How about we go to Fufeng City and have a sit?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said apologetically: "I understand Eunuch Bai's good intentions, but I have a secular body and cannot stay longer. How about we say goodbye for now?"
"In this way..." Eunuch Bai shook his head regretfully: "Since it's not a coincidence, it doesn't matter... This is a personal belonging of our family. It's not worth much. I hope you will accept it, sir."
He took out a wooden sign from his arms, about the size of a palm, with a little tiger engraved on it. It looked simple and cute, and seemed to have come to life.
"This tiger sign was carved by our family. Please accept it, sir. Whenever you pass by the capital, you must say hello to us and let's have a good chat!" Eunuch Bai said with a smile.
Li Muchan took the wooden sign and said with a smile: "Okay."
Eunuch Bai said with a smile: "Sir, you can use this card to find our home."
He acted neatly, said goodbye to Li Muchan and got into the carriage. Then everyone set off. The old man in black whispered: "Sir, keep this sign carefully. As long as you show this sign in the capital, Eunuch Bai will know it immediately.
"
Li Muchan nodded and thanked the old man.
The old man in black said: "Sir, when you arrive in the capital, you must inform me so that I can fulfill my friendship as a landlord."
Li Muchan smiled and agreed.
The old man in black whispered again: "Sir, you can search this Tianlang Mountain. The Heart-Eating Knife and Green Dragon Spear are both rare and unique skills. Although you have advanced martial arts skills, you can use them as a reference, which will definitely be of benefit."
Li Muchan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The old man in black said goodbye reluctantly and got on the carriage. The carriage rumbled away. A dozen Shenzong guards got on the carriage one by one and said goodbye to them with fists in their hands.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area became quiet, with only a faint smell of blood.
"This Shenzongwei is nothing..." Fu Qingshi shook his head and sighed in disappointment.
Li Muchan smiled and said nothing, raised his head and said, "Come on, let's go for a walk on the mountain and see if we can find the secret!"
Fu Qingshi perked up and said with a smile, "Okay, if I can find the secret, I'll give it to you!"
He also understood that it was not that Shenzong's guards were incompetent, but that these two men were too powerful. The Green Dragon Spear and the Heart-Eating Sword were both unique skills, several times stronger than his Qianhe Sword Technique.
Li Muchan and him went up the mountain. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a village gate appeared in front of them. It was built with high walls made of stones and built against the mountain. The terrain was dangerous.
It is unrealistic to attack this stronghold by force. The gate of the stronghold stands on a cliff, which is steep and slippery. There is no place to stand. If you want to enter the stronghold, you can only climb by hanging ropes.
But at this time, the rope is gone, and all you need to do to go up is Qinggong. It is not easy to go up to such a high place by Qinggong, and it requires deep internal strength.
Fu Qingshi looked up and smiled bitterly.
He thought that he couldn't go up. Even if he could go up with Qinggong, what would be waiting for him on the top would be arrows, hidden weapons, or rocks. In short, they would come halfway and interfere with his climb.
Under such terrain, unless many martial arts masters attack at the same time, preventing them from looking over, there will be a chance of climbing up.
He turned to look at Li Muchan, who smiled and said, "Let's give it a try."
Fu Qingshi shook his head: "Brother Li, I can't do it."
Li Muchan smiled: "How would you know if you haven't tried it? Let me help you!"
"How can I help?" Fu Qingshi asked curiously.
*****************************************
Li Muchan smiled and patted him on the back: "Let's go!"
Fu Qingshi felt a strong force surge in, and his whole body suddenly swelled like an inflated ball, feeling like it had expanded in a circle.
Inexplicable power circulated in his body, as if one punch could break the sky. Although he knew this was an illusion, this feeling made him feel heroic and he laughed loudly: "Okay, I'll do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew out, hit the stone wall with a bang, and seemed to be embedded in it. He struggled twice to get free, and then went up.
Although he has extremely strong internal energy, he cannot control it well and cannot control it as delicately as before. It is like wearing iron boots all the time and suddenly becoming barefoot, which is very uncomfortable.
However, due to the strong internal force protecting his body, the impact didn't hurt him at all. Instead, it made marks on the stone wall, as if his body shape was carved into it.
Performing the wall swimming skill was so easy and effortless that it had never been labor-saving, and there was no feeling of strenuousness at all. He was a little obsessed with this feeling. How great it would be if it were his own internal strength!
In the blink of an eye, he climbed three feet, turned around and looked down, only to see Li Muchan standing there motionless, looking at him with a smile, obviously worried.
"Brother Li, come up here!" Fu Qingshi said proudly.
Li Muchan waved his hand: "Be careful, don't let them plot!"
"Don't worry, there seems to be no one inside!" Fu Qingshi waved his hand.
He was proud that he could perform the wall movement skill with all three hands. He would never have thought about it in the past. Deep skill would have endless benefits. It seemed that he paid too much attention to swordsmanship and should focus on cultivating his internal strength!
His idea changed, and then he moved his limbs together and used the wall swimming technique to move upwards. He really looked like a gecko, meandering around at a very fast speed.
Suddenly there was a roar, and a human head appeared on the wall of the village. At a glance, there were about a hundred people, all looking at Fu Qingshi.
Fu Qingshi panicked, being looked down upon by so many people, he felt great pressure in his heart, and what was waiting for him was bound to be a violent storm.
He activated his inner strength, drew his sword, and began to swing the equipment.
"Knock him down!" a roar came from the crowd.
"Hit!" "Keep fighting!" "This little face is looking for death, so let him get it!" "This young brat is just looking for death!"
People started to move while shouting and cursing, and suddenly arrows flew and shrouded Fu Qingshi. He hurriedly waved his sword to resist, but he heard "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding".
He smiled. Unexpectedly, his inner strength was deep, and his sword skills were also very powerful. The power of Qian He's sword skills was greatly increased, and he danced so tightly that he blocked the rain of arrows.
************************************************
"Stone!" shouted the crowd.
So big stones were thrown one by one, and they were thrown very accurately, and they all landed on the top of Fu Qing's stone. These stones were big and small, the big ones were as big as millstones, and the small ones were only as big as a palm. They were all hard bluestones.
The stronger ones threw millstones, while the weaker ones threw stones, all with precision. Fu Qingshi had no choice but to wave his sword to block, but he couldn't stop them at all.
After just one wave, he couldn't bear it any longer. He used his wall-walking skill and hurriedly moved to the side to avoid it. The stone hit the stone wall with a muffled "bang" sound.
His heart trembled, and he turned to look down. Li Muchan was looking at him with a smile, and said loudly: "Brother Fu, let go and do what you want. I will catch you when it falls!"
Fu Qingshi's courage increased greatly, he nodded vigorously, suddenly became heroic, shouted loudly, and performed the wall swimming skill, just like a gecko, swimming quickly.
He first walked in a zigzag pattern, turning to the right, then turning to the left, then turning to the right, twists and turns, and then there was no fixed route, turning left and right, with unpredictable changes.
Stones and pebbles were splashing around him, accompanied by bursts of muffled sounds. Fu Qingshi's heartbeat accelerated. While he was worried that they would fall on him, he felt very excited.
In this moment, Fu Qingshi climbed another three or four feet and was almost close to the wall.
Instead of panicking, the people on the wall smiled, gloatingly, as if they were looking at a dead man and making fun of him.
"Is the water ready?" a voice asked.
"Alright!" came the reply from afar.
"Hurry up!" A loud shout rang out, and he continued: "If you wait any longer, people will come up. It's useless no matter how hot you are!"
"Okay, here we come!" came the reply from a distance.
Then several steaming iron pots appeared on the wall and were held up by people, slowly moving their positions and aiming at Fu Qingshi below.
Fu Qingshi was shocked and secretly scolded them for being vicious. With this move, it would be useless no matter how strong his swordsmanship was. There was no way he could prevent water from splashing into them.
"Brother Li!" Fu Qingshi shouted helplessly.
Li Muchan raised his voice and said, "Don't panic, I'll be up right away!"
As he spoke, he flashed ten feet into the sky. He lightly pressed his palm against the stone wall and rose up ten feet again to Fu Qingshi's side.
Fu Qingshi shouted: "They want hot water!"
Li Muchan smiled: "This is a clever idea, but it doesn't matter. Let's go!"
When he reached the top of Fu Qingshi, he began to perform wall swimming skills and slowly climbed up. Seeing this, Fu Qingshi became more courageous and followed him, also starting to climb up.
*********************************
"Good boy, you are really not afraid of death, pour it for me!" A big man sneered and waved his finger.
Suddenly the hot water fell down like a waterfall.
Li Muchan drew out his long sword and waved it above his head, leisurely and calmly, without any confusion.
Hot fire fell on the sword, and it immediately split into two and fell from their side, as if he was holding a drop of water in his hand and did not dare to lean against the hot water.
"Okay——!" Fu Qingshi looked up and saw this situation and exclaimed.
Li Muchan turned his head and smiled at him, speeding up his body, holding a sword in one hand, and the other hand seemed to be sucked on the stone wall, and the same was true for his legs, as if they were walking on the ground.
Fu Qingshi was amazed when he saw it, and followed closely behind him. Regardless of the situation above his head, he just followed Li Muchan upwards.
It felt like a long time, and it seemed like a moment had passed. There was a light on the top of his head. When he looked up, Li Muchan had disappeared, and there were muffled groans coming from above.
He sped up a few steps and climbed onto the wall, only to see Li Muchan drifting among the crowd like a wisp of smoke. No one could stand wherever he passed, and they all fell limply. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome.
