Invincible!

Chapter 16 Noble Man
"Yes, county lord."

The guard, known as Shen Hong, calmly responded, turned around unhurriedly, and went straight to meet Li Xian.

And Mr. Li...

But he ignored his meaning.

Instead, he bypassed him and turned his gaze to the burly middle-aged man next to Shen Hong: "Was it you who did it that night two months ago?"

The middle-aged man didn't even lift his eyelids, too lazy to answer.

Shen Hong, who strode up to Li Xian, turned cold and said, "This is not a place for someone of your status."

After saying that, he directly struck out, aiming for his shoulder blade.

Li Xian slightly tilted his head, and just as Shen Hong's attacking arm was about to strike, his right hand flashed out like lightning, striking first and arriving first, like a python coiling around him, instantly traveling along his arm and grabbing his shoulder blade first.

then……

Muscles and bones roar together!

Unleashing tremendous power!

They easily broke Shen Hong's scapular joint.

"Crack!"

"what!"

The sudden, excruciating pain caused Shen Hong to let out a piercing scream.

Before he could make any further move, Li Xian swung his hand with such force that, like Buddha throwing an elephant, he flung the guard's over 80-kilogram body three or four meters away, where it crashed heavily to the ground and even rolled twice.

This sudden change caused the middle-aged man, the young princess, the two people beside her, and the guards to all change their expressions.

Especially the middle-aged man who had just been indifferent and didn't take Li Xian seriously at all, his pupils shrank drastically: "Mastery of the body's strength and muscles?! No! He's even reached the point where his internal energy is channeled? How is that possible?!"

The guards accompanying the princess and the two young men immediately protected them in the middle.

But the princess simply pushed aside the guards protecting her and stepped forward, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "What's going on?"

She glanced at Shen Hong, whose face was pale from the pain, and snorted coldly with disgust: "Useless!"

"Princess, be careful... This Li Xian... something's not right..."

The middle-aged man said solemnly, his gaze never leaving Li Xian's body.

Judging from the force he exerted just now, and his current breathing rate...

He has clearly trained his internal organs!

However, this doesn't make sense!
Two months ago...

He was clearly still a weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken!

"What do you mean 'something's not right'? He's just a poor peasant! You, a master who has perfected the art of internal energy cultivation, can't even handle him?"

The woman's expression was cold, especially when she noticed that people nearby had noticed the conflict and were watching. She then ordered with displeasure, "Go and deal with it quickly."

Yan Lian nodded and stepped forward.

As Yan Lian sized up Li Xian, Li Xian was also sizing him up, and at this moment, he was even more certain.

"You are the one."

He said calmly, "I don't want to know your reasons for attacking me. I just want to teach you that at that moment, 'Li Xian' was already dead. A life for a life is a matter of course... Now, you can struggle and resist as much as you want! You can even use any means necessary to kill me again! Otherwise, you will die today!"

Is Li Xian dead?

Aren't you living a perfectly good life?
I don't know why, but I've entered the realm of internal lung and visceral training.

Yan Lian's mind raced, but judging from Li Xian's words, only one of them could survive today.

but……

After all, he was just a nobody who could have been easily crushed by him two months ago. Even if he had cultivated some evil technique to strengthen his internal organs, how much more powerful could he have become in just two months?

The only thing that made him somewhat wary was his identity...

Miss Liu from the Marquis's mansion still had to use this live-in son-in-law to appease the "fairy maiden" Yan Shui Rou.

What if he accidentally kills me?

It seems they sensed his concerns, or perhaps they were simply acting recklessly.

The young princess spoke up: "What arrogance! To use every means to kill you?! Li Xian, do you really think you're someone important just because you have the title of one of the Four Great Talents of Lijiang?"

She seemed to laugh at Li Xian's way of speaking: "In front of the nobles of our Yue Prince's Mansion, a peasant like you would never even be qualified to enter the gates of our Yue Prince's Mansion! How could a commoner understand the splendor of the heavenly palace!? If it weren't for Sister Liu, even if you died and rotted like a dead dog in a corner of the street, I wouldn't have given you a second glance, because that would only have soiled my eyes."

After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and waved her hand dismissively: "Beat him to death! So what if he's dead! Who does he think he is?!"

Upon hearing the princess's words, Yan Lian immediately felt reassured. He then refrained from further words.

He drew his long sword.

Facing someone who cultivates internal energy...

Even though he was a martial artist who had practiced internal cultivation and was powerless just two months ago, he still put himself on high alert.

As the longsword was drawn, a burst of power followed.

Even when the strong were attacking the weak and the big were bullying the small, they still took the initiative and seized the advantage.

The blade flashed coldly, swift as a white ribbon.

Although both had reached the peak of their internal energy cultivation, the swordsmanship displayed in this single strike clearly demonstrated that this guard Yan's combat strength was superior to Liu Fu's.

However, today is different.

When dealing with Liu Fu, Li Xian's internal organs were not yet fully developed, and he only managed to kill him by unleashing his inner energy.

But now...

He not only completed the internal cultivation of his lungs and viscera, but also began to undergo blood and marrow cleansing, and with the help of the Blood Jade Technique, he achieved some success in just six days.

If it were someone who was chasing fame and fortune, they would have dared to claim that they had undergone a complete transformation by now.

Therefore, facing Yan Lian's swift and powerful strike, Li Xian's blood surged, and he quickly condensed a surge of energy into a violent force that filled his limbs and bones.

As he followed up with his sword strike, the blade's light caught up with Yan Lian's slash at an even faster speed.

The moment the two met, sparks flew.

However, at the same moment of their clash, Li Xian unleashed a powerful strike that transmitted energy through the blade, causing Yan Lian's hand to tremble violently as his strike was blocked, almost causing him to lose his grip on the weapon.

"This kind of power!?"

In the brief moment of tremor, Li Xian's blade slashed out horizontally, as if carrying a crescent moon, aiming to tear Yan Lian's neck apart.

With his arm numb and barely able to grip the knife, Yan Lian quickly turned and leaned back, dodging the blade in a manner similar to an iron bridge. At the same time, he unleashed a burst of power from his feet, pulling back rapidly and quickly widening the distance between them.

"You are definitely not Li Xian, who are you!?"

As Yan Lian retreated rapidly, he shouted for help: "Brother Liu, come and lend me a hand!"

The martial artist surnamed Liu, Liu Feng, was the only expert at the Lung Meridian Realm among the five guards besides himself.

Upon hearing his shout, he turned his gaze to a man beside him.

That was the son of Cao Rui, the military commander of Jiangzhou.

He was also ordered by General Cao to protect the safety of Young Master Cao Zhi and Yan Ruxue during their visit to Canglang Mountain and participation in the Sword Debate Tournament.

Noticing his gaze, the young master Cao closed his fan and said, "Go help."

"Yes."

Liu Feng agreed, and with a swift movement, intervened in the battle.

Seeing this, the other man also waved to the guard beside him: "You go too."

This guard was only at the peak of his physical development, but faced with his young master's orders, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and join the battle. In the blink of an eye, the situation turned into a three-on-one attack.

but……

Although there were two more people, it did not have any impact on Li Xian at all.

At this moment, his sword light had completely enveloped Yan Lian.

The sudden arrival of Liu Feng merely bought Yan Lian, who was on the verge of death, a chance to escape. As Li Xian's blade flashed and the shockwave rippled out, Yan Lian could no longer hold onto his sword.

As the tiger's mouth split open and blood splattered, the battle sword was actually knocked away.

"not good!"

Losing his sword, Yan Lian was terrified and, disregarding Liu Feng's presence, retreated hastily.

Just then, Liu Feng's knife whistled through the air, forcing Li Xian to turn slightly and receive all of his firepower.

Especially since Li Xian had found him a nuisance several times, he turned his blade and instantly deflected Liu Feng's slash. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the martial artist's defenses were wide open, the blade flashed straight in and swept across his throat.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The figure of this heartfelt martial artist came to an abrupt halt.

"Princess, let's go!"

Yan Lian, who sacrificed his teammates to escape the battle, was terrified when he saw this scene. He rushed to Princess Yan Ruxue's side, took her with him, and headed straight for Canglang Mountain.
