Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 17 Broken Knife Li Dingan

"kill!"

At the command, the killing began.

Xu Longqing and Chu Mo were the first to rush out. Both of them were second-rate and their strength was not bad. They were like tigers descending from the mountains. In an instant, four or five horse thieves fell off their horses.

"damn it!"

The white-faced man was furious. He had no intention of attacking, but seeing that his men had been severely wounded, he could only shout, "Kill them! Kill them!"

The melee begins.

The white-faced man did not hesitate, drew his scimitar and rushed straight towards Jiang Xuan.

"Do you think I'm a pushover?"

Jiang Xuan glanced over, sneered, and stood quietly waiting.

Until the white-faced man approached, he swung his knife with his backhand, then stopped looking and turned to kill the other horse thief.

In the back, the white-faced man paused, his pupils dilated, and the scimitar in his hand drooped limply. After a while, his head suddenly fell off, and a column of bright red blood spurted out from his neck several feet high. The headless corpse fell from the horse's back.

"Boss?!"

"Oh no, the boss is dead!"

"This idea is difficult, retreat quickly..."

Seeing the white-faced man dead, the remaining bandits panicked and lost their courage. They screamed and fled in all directions like birds and beasts.

Jiang Xuan and the other two chased the bandits in different places without showing any mercy. In just a few moments, they killed all the bandits.

The gap in strength was too huge, so this was a massacre without any suspense.

At this time, the muddy ground was littered with corpses and blood was flowing like a river. More than a dozen horses were out of control, some of them were strolling around, and some were frightened and ran into the surrounding jungle.

"Sir, it's all done!"

The three of them reunited, all of them covered in blood, adding a bit of murderous aura.

Jiang Xuan nodded and ordered, "Look for any good things and take them all."

"Yes." The two men immediately dismounted and began to search the corpse.

"Thank you for your help, hero, and for ridding the people of this evil!"

At this time, the one-armed man ran forward and knelt down before Jiang Xuan again, kowtowed deeply and said, "Please, sir, accept me as your disciple. I am willing to follow you from now on, serving you at your service and doing anything for you!"

"Accept you as a disciple?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"

"Yes!" the one-armed man gritted his teeth and said, "I want to practice with my sword!"

Only then did Jiang Xuan see that he had been tightly holding a half-rusted broken knife in his hand, and next to him was a skinny little beggar, who looked probably a woman and looked malnourished.

Jiang Xuan suddenly felt that this group looked familiar, and couldn't help but ask, "What's your name?"

The one-armed man thought Jiang Xuan agreed, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He quickly said, "My name is Ding'an, Li Ding'an!"

Li Dingan?
Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed, it was him!

Li Dingan, the protagonist of the movie "The Broken Blade".

This guy was extremely talented. Even though one of his hands was cut off and he became a cripple, he was able to master the sharp one-arm swordsmanship with the help of half a sword manual and half a broken sword. In the end, he killed the enemy Feilong and avenged his father.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

Jiang Xuan already knew that this world was a fusion of all the martial arts films from his previous life, so he was not surprised by Li Ding'an's appearance.

After a brief pause, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "My swordsmanship is not suitable for you."

As he spoke, Jiang Xuan glanced at the house in the distance that was still on fire and said, "Your opportunity is there."

Li Dingan looked back and was stunned.

"Sir, the search is over!"

At this time, Xu Longqing and Chu Mo came back, each holding something in their hands.

"There are only a few dozen taels of silver and these weapons. There is nothing else valuable." Xu Longqing said.

Jiang Xuan nodded, glanced at the dazed Li Dingan, and ordered: "Leave him ten taels of silver and take three knives. Don't take the rest of the things and burn them with the body."

"By the way, take these horses to town and sell them."

"Yes!" The two immediately turned around and carried out the order.

Jiang Xuan also dismounted to help.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xuan looked at the pile of sizzling corpses, then looked at Li Dingan beside him and said, "We can't stay here any longer. Wait until the fire is out, then go and see if you can find what you want. If you find it, leave here."

After saying that, Jiang Xuan jumped on his horse, and the three of them each led a few horses left by the horse thieves and continued to walk towards the town.

"My benefactor, how can I repay you in the future?" Li Dingan shouted.

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said without turning back, "I will come to you when I need you."

Li Ding'an was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, the three people had already walked away.

He took a deep look at the direction the three men had left, then walked to the front of the still-burning wooden house, frowned, and murmured, "Is there an opportunity for me here? What could it be?"

"That man is talking nonsense, do you believe him?"

A little beggar trotted over, took Li Ding'an's hand, and said excitedly: "The horse thief is dead, let's run quickly, Ding'an, with these ten taels of silver, we can go somewhere else to build a house and continue raising pigs and farming..."

"No!"

Li Dingan took a deep breath and said, "I believe him. I must see what's in this house!"

……

"Sir, do you really believe that boy can achieve great things with just one hand?"

On the way, Xu Longqing looked at Jiang Xuan in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Xuan lied to the boy and gave him ten taels of silver.

Obviously, in his opinion, Jiang Xuan's statement that there was an opportunity for Li Dingan in the wooden house was just a casual remark to deceive Li Dingan.

"Just play a chess piece casually. If it can be used in the future, that's great. If it can't be used, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Xuan said this calmly, without further explanation. He believed Xu Longqing might not believe it even if he explained.

If he hadn't seen the original movie, he wouldn't have known that half a sword manual was buried in the house.

Now that I have intervened, I don’t know if there will be a butterfly effect, but I also want to give a reminder that I hope Li Dingan’s fate will not change.

If this guy can really master the one-armed sword technique, he might be useful in the future.

Just consider it as a good relationship.

Jiang Xuan doesn't hate the tough-minded protagonist Li Ding'an as much as he hates the bootlicker Shen Lian.

Soon, the three arrived at the town.

But once they entered the town, the three of them felt something was not right.

It looked very prosperous and lively from the mountain just now, but now when I arrived at the town, I found that this town... is too quiet.

The doors of every household were locked and there was no light at all.

But thinking of the horse thieves he had just encountered, Jiang Xuan felt relieved again. Perhaps the residents of the town were afraid to go out at night because they were worried that the horse thieves would come to rob the town.

The three continued walking towards the center of the town, hoping to find an inn.

After a while, there were lights and noises coming from the front.

The three of them felt relieved and walked closer to see that it was indeed an inn.

No, it would be more appropriate to say it is a brothel, it’s not even a whorehouse.

I saw that the mud house built with mud and wood looked extremely dilapidated and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

In addition to the sounds of men drinking and chatting, there were also many women's voices. Even at the door of the inn, there were many people and horses drinking and chatting around the campfire.

"So many gangsters!" Xu Longqing frowned as he got closer.

Most of the people at the door of the inn were armed, behaved rudely and wildly, and spoke in various dialects with a strong swear word content. Even if you couldn't understand them, you knew they were swear words.

Some of them were holding women in their arms, naked, and some of them were even doing obscene things on the street. The scene was extremely decadent.

"Is this really the territory of our Ming Dynasty?"

Xu Longqing frowned, he felt as if he had come to a chaotic world.

A chaotic world with absolutely no laws, rules or order!

"I'm afraid he's not from the underworld..."

Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered as he said, "Be careful."

"Yes."

As the three approached the inn, their voices suddenly became quieter.

The group of martial artists at the door of the inn all looked over in surprise, their eyes flickering, probably surprised that there were outsiders coming here at this time.

After a brief silence, a man with braided hair suddenly stood up from the crowd and walked up to them with a smile. "Three of you, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Xu Longqing stepped forward to deal with it: "We'll just stay for one night and then leave. You're the shopkeeper, right? Do you have any rooms available?"

The man smiled and said, "Of course there are rooms. It just depends on whether you three can afford the price."

"Money is not a problem. Even if you don't have enough, you can still pay with horses!"

Xu Longqing patted the horse behind him and asked, "Horse, are you guys going to accept it?"

The man's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "I'll take them all, as long as the horses are good. I'll take them at the market price!"

"Okay, I'll keep three and sell the rest to you!"

The man waved his hand, and two more people immediately walked out of the crowd and came up to hand over to Xu Longqing.

Taking this opportunity, the man walked up to Jiang Xuan and Chu Mo and said with a smile, "Where are you three from and where are you going?"

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "What's going on? Is the shopkeeper here to check things out? Do I need to provide ID to stay at the hotel?"

"Brother, you're joking. I'm just asking casually."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly, then glanced at the scantily clad women beside him and said with a smile, "This is our specialty here. I wonder if you three are interested?"

"No need."

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "I've been traveling all day and I'm very tired. Just ask for a room."

"One room?" The man frowned. "One room might not be enough for the three of you, right?"

"That's enough." Jiang Xuan said calmly, "We are used to living together."

"Do you want something to eat?"

"No need, we've already eaten."

The man's face darkened: "Then you have to drink a bowl of wine, right?"

Having said that, without waiting for Jiang Xuan to reply, the man turned around and gestured.

A burly man in the crowd immediately stood up, carrying a wine jug, and came forward. He picked up two bowls from the table nearby, filled them up, and handed them over in front of Jiang Xuan and the others: "Drink!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Glancing over, he saw that the people at the other tables at the door had stopped talking at some point. Even the ones who were doing something shameful had stopped moving and turned to look over, with murderous gleams in their eyes. Some of them even had their hands on the weapons on the table.

Obviously, these people are all in the same group.

"Young Master?" Chu Mo's expression changed slightly.

"Drink!" The strong man moved the wine bowl closer.

The man's eyes flickered as he stared at Jiang Xuan. "My friend, the wine is free, and you're not even trying to show some respect, are you? You're not giving me any respect, are you?!"

laugh--

Suddenly, a flash of a knife appeared, and the strong man who served the wine and the innkeeper both widened their eyes, covered their necks and fell down.

Jiang Xuan sighed, turned to look at Xu Longqing who was still counting the accounts, and said, "No need to count, just kill them all."
