Invincible!

Chapter 17 Fighting for Life
"Damn it! How could this happen!?"

Yan Ruxue was being pulled by Yan Lian, her face showing a mixture of shock and anger, and her eyes filled with disbelief!
Mr. Li!

He was clearly just a commoner who, apart from having read a few books, could at most help the Yan family govern a region, and was otherwise utterly useless!

How could he suddenly become so powerful!

A fourth-level martial artist who had cultivated his internal organs was no match for him in a single blow!

"Commander Liu!?"

On the other side, Cao Zhi also let out a terrified scream.

Especially when he saw Li Xian carrying a knife and chasing after them, he felt a suffocating pressure rolling in. An unprecedented fear, accompanied by a bone-chilling cold, swept over his entire body in an instant, as if freezing every cell in his body, making his body unable to move at that moment.

"No!"

"Princess, run!"

Amidst terrified screams, the six people scattered like birds.

One by one, all of them lost the air of their previous witty banter and dignified demeanor, and fled for their lives as if they wished their parents had two more legs.

At this moment, Shen Hong, who had lost an arm, suddenly realized something and shouted, "Yan Lian! His target is you!"

Yan Lian, who was leading Yan Ruxue toward the Canglang Sword Sect's mountain gate, was startled and instantly understood the meaning of Shen Hong's words.

Despite knowing what fate awaited him, Yan Lian, utterly loyal to the Yue Prince's mansion, made a decisive decision without hesitation: "Princess, take care!"

The next moment, he turned sharply and ran frantically in the opposite direction from where he was going up the mountain.

really……

Li Xian's movements barely paused.

He immediately changed direction and strode after Yan Lian.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, another guard and Shen Hong quickly led Yan Ruxue away, disregarding Cao Zhi and the other young master, and rushed towards the Canglang Sword Sect.

Li Xian unleashed a burst of power from his feet, catching up to Yan Lian in just a few breaths.

Feeling the chilling danger behind him, Yan Lian was resolute in his heart.

"Li Xian! I don't care who you are! If you want to kill me, I'll tear a piece of your flesh off!"

He turned his body, his pores opening wide, completely abandoning defense and unleashing all his strength. He clenched his palm into a blade, and with a life-or-death momentum, he went straight for Li Xian, who was rushing towards him.

"Resistance is your right, killing you is my right."

Faced with Yan Lian's desperate counterattack, Li Xian unleashed a slash of his blade.

Blood transfusion and marrow cleansing are close to the limits of the human body!
But in the end, we are just mortal beings!

As long as one is a mortal, one cannot fight against a steel blade with flesh and blood.

Under Li Xian's precise strike, Yan Lian's palm, which had been clenched into a blade, spurted out a burst of blood, and his entire hand was shredded by the blade's light.

However, Yan Lian seemed to have already prepared himself for the possibility of failing to disarm Li Xian with his bare hands, and even at the cost of one hand, to get close to him.

As his palm, wrist, and even half of his forearm were shredded by the blade, his left hand, poised to strike, suddenly stabbed out like a python emerging from its hole, its movement accompanied by a slight rotation, its force spiraling as it hurtled toward Li Xian's body.

"Die!"

His breath was like thunder!

A murderous aura soared to the heavens!
pity……

Li Xianjin is no longer the same person he used to be.

Having already begun the process of blood transfusion and marrow cleansing, his explosive power was already a notch above Yan Liangang's.

Furthermore, the Blood Jade Technique endowed Li Xian with the characteristic of boiling blood and qi, making it even easier for him to achieve the goal of striking first after being attacked later.

As Yan Lian's spiraling force blasted towards him, he had already spread his five fingers wide, turning his fist into a palm, completely enveloping the martial artist's powerful fist force.

As he twisted the force in his hand, he not only neutralized the spiraling force that Yan Lian had unleashed, but also completely twisted his entire arm.

"Zi!"

The sleeves are torn to shreds!

Yan Lian's radius and ulna in his arm twisted and broke as if they were pretzel!
The humerus and scapula were also dislocated and fractured.

The intense pain turned the face of this master martial artist, whose lungs had reached a high level of proficiency, as pale as paper.

But he gritted his teeth and, with sheer courage, tilted his head back and smashed it down on Li Xian with a powerful headbutt.

However, just as he leaned back to deliver a powerful headbutt, Li Xian had already anticipated his intention.

He took a step back, instantly pulling himself back three steps, and twisted his body.

At this moment, he was still tightly gripping Yan Lian's fist. As he pulled back and took large steps, the martial arts master was suddenly pulled forward, lost his balance, and involuntarily fell forward.

At first glance, it looked as if Yan Lian was being pulled forward and sideways, while Li Xian twisted and rotated, using his waist to forcefully throw him forward.

This flight will send them flying at least four or five meters away.

"not good!"

Yan Lian immediately realized the extreme danger of the current situation!

He surged with power, attempting to regain his balance using the technique of a python turning over.

Before he could neutralize the pulling and throwing force, Li Xian's body had already spun 360 degrees using the momentum of the swing, his arm shifting horizontally, and his palm had transformed into a claw as he spun.

With a sudden, powerful lunge, his claws, like a tiger crouching in a bow and a horse charging forward, caught Yan Lian's face as he was thrown back and tried to turn around. Especially since his momentum from the charge hadn't subsided, the force of Li Xian's grip on Yan Lian's face felt as if he were being lifted up by the tight grip of Li Xian's five fingers.

Under his terrified and horrified gaze, Li Xian, who had captured most of Yan Lian's face, pressed down hard.

"Li Xian!"

Amidst desperate cries, Yan Lian's enormous head was slammed heavily onto the bluestone floor outside the Canglang Sword Sect's mountain gate.

"Oh!"

The bluestone floor where the head struck cracked instantly!
Stone chips flew everywhere, and dust billowed!
Yan Lian's eyes widened suddenly as he stared intently at Li Xian, as if he wanted to see clearly what kind of monster this was even at the last moment.

Blood gushed from the back of his head, which had been smashed open and shattered.

Li Xiansong calmly stood up.

As he straightened up, the divine light in the eyes of this master martial artist gradually faded.

"He's much braver and more courageous than that martial arts master Liu Fu."

Li gave a word of praise.

At least……

When all hope seemed lost, this man had the courage to fight to the death and fought until the very last moment.

And he...

Nature granted his wish, and instead of seizing the opportunity to finish him off with a single blow as she spun him around, she did not do so.

Instead, he used the force in his hand to smash his head open, killing him by his own hand.

After observing for a moment, he turned his gaze to the Canglang Sword Sect.

Immediately, the disciples of the Canglang Sword Sect who had come upon hearing the news became extremely tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

but……

Yan Ruxue, Cao Zhi, and the others have all disappeared.

As the host of the sword-fighting tournament, the Canglang Sword Sect naturally has the obligation to ensure the safety of its guests.

Killing someone outside the Canglang Sword Sect is something everyone can save face for.

But what if we went straight into the Canglang Sword Sect and killed people...?

That's just too outrageous.

Li Xian is not the kind of person who is unreasonable.

"The Yue King's mansion must be teeming with powerful figures..."

He did not doubt the ability of some people to spread rumors.

"It shouldn't disappoint me."

He sheathed his sword, walked to the pavilion halfway up the mountain, and sat down calmly, as if nothing had happened.

But the martial arts practitioners who witnessed it all were finally awakened from this seemingly slow but actually fast-paced battle.

"Li Xian!? Who is this!? I've never heard of him before!? Yet he's so incredibly powerful!"

"I thought Young Hero Zhang was already the most outstanding young man in Jiangzhou, but I didn't expect this person to be even more valiant! One hour! I need all the information about him!"

"To simultaneously fight against two martial artists at the Lung Meridian Realm and a master of Bone and Tendon Perfection, with two dead and one escaping! Such combat power... even a Blood Transformation and Marrow Cleansing technique couldn't compare!"

"So what if he undergoes a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing... His actions have likely offended the Yue Prince's Mansion completely, and they probably won't let this go easily."

"What do you mean by 'not letting this go'? Not to mention that a mere princess cannot represent the Yue Prince's Mansion, the key point is... the corpses of two martial artists at the Lung Meridian Realm are enough to establish his reputation for blood transfusion and marrow cleansing combat power, and he looks to be only in his early twenties! A blood transfusion and marrow cleansing at the age of twenty... wouldn't he be able to get on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!? Once he's on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, there are plenty of powerful forces willing to invest in him and befriend him!"

"That's it! Someone of this age and combat strength can't make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking?! Who else could?! As for offending the Prince's Mansion... that's not a flaw, but rather an advantage! Which major power wouldn't want to take this opportunity to show favor and win over such a talented martial artist who is expected to rise above his station in five years?!"

Various discussions immediately arose.

In the martial arts world, while identity, background, resources, and wealth are important, the most important thing is still strength!
Once you have enough strength, obtaining status and resources is only a matter of time!
Li Xian has just killed two masters of the Lung Realm. This achievement is far more significant than the sparring and fighting between Zhang Yunsheng and Bai Zhanfeng, who were at the Lung Realm.
This one battle alone was enough to make him famous throughout the martial arts tournament.

The many martial artists watching were discussing among themselves. The disciples of the Canglang Sword Sect, seeing that Li Xian had not stormed into the sect and had given them face, were all relieved and sent their stewards to quickly come forward.

"Young Master Li, it is our honor that you, with your status, can come to our Canglang Sword Sect to participate in the Sword Debate. Just now, a few disciples were blind to your talent and neglected you. I apologize to you on their behalf. I will take you into the sect to meet Master Zhou."

"This is what the deacon said quickly."

"Oh? We don't need to wait anymore?"

Li was somewhat surprised.

"You flatter us. With your strength and status, how could we let you wait outside? This is our mistake. We, the Canglang Sword Sect, have failed to provide adequate hospitality and apologize again to Young Hero Li."

The steward gestured with his hand, saying, "Please come inside, Young Hero Li. The Canglang Sword Sect will surely offer a gift of apology later."

Seeing this, Li Xian didn't waste any time. He stood up and was about to leave the Half-Mountain Pavilion.

But as he stepped out of the Half-Mountain Pavilion, he saw a person coming from the Canglang Sword Sect.

It was Zhou Juechen.

However, Master Zhou, who had left the Canglang Sword Sect, did not rush to Banshan Pavilion immediately. Instead, he pulled two young martial artists aside and asked them questions in a bewildering manner.

The conversation between the two men, and their description of what they were talking about, was none other than Li Xian's glorious feat of fighting three opponents single-handedly and slaying two of the most powerful martial arts masters.
