The appearance of Fifth Uncle and Qian Yunhao was completely beyond Han Qingyun's expectations. Fortunately, the two were safe and sound.

"Uncle Hongzhi, Xiaobo, since the people in Prince Lin's Mansion didn't make things difficult for Fifth Grandpa, I think the person behind the scenes will send him back soon."

Han Hongzhi nodded, and then thought of the fact that Han Qingyun was used as a bet, and couldn't help but secretly curse Emperor Zhaowen for being a coward in his heart.

"Okay, Uncle Wu is fine. Xiaobo and I will go back. Qingyun, you don't have to worry too much. Li Jixin is arrogant. The emperor must have a foolproof plan to agree to such an unreasonable request. There are still eight days left. During this time, someone will definitely subdue Li Jixin."

Han Qingyun felt very upset whenever he thought about this matter. He was a human being, so why should he be treated as an object and a bet?

Those in power didn't even have to tell them anything and directly determined their identities.

No one in the cabinet or the six ministries raised any objections, as if it was an honor for them to be given as a gift by the court and there was no need to discuss it with them.

Although Han Qingyun was upset, he still nodded to Han Hongzhi with a smile, and then ordered Zhao Xingwu to send the two back to the village in a carriage.

On the third and fourth days of the competition, the challengers who came on stage were obviously more skilled than those on the previous two days. Wei Qing and the other three had to spend more time to deal with the challengers.

On the fifth day, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the stage, holding an ordinary-looking sword. However, as soon as the sword appeared, someone knowledgeable shouted, "Heavenly Wolf Sword! He is Shao Beiyan."

The Sirius Sword is ranked fourth among the ten famous swords in the martial arts world. Its owner, Shao Beiyan, is a well-known swordsman in the martial arts world. It is said that he started to fight in the martial arts world at the age of eighteen and rarely lost.

Although Li Jiren was not worried that his brother would lose, he was worried that Shao Beiyan was just the beginning. After Shao Beiyan, there would probably be even more difficult characters.

"Mr. Mu is so famous, but he couldn't resist the temptation of high office and generous salary?"

Shao Beiyan laughed heartily: "I traveled the world for fame. If I defeat the Second Young Master, I will not only gain fame but also profit."

"Insanity!"

Wei Qing was about to step forward and fight him, but was stopped by Li Jixin: "You can't beat him."

Li Jixin took out his sword, which was also an excellent sword, but it was far less sharp than the Tianlang Sword that could cut through iron like mud.

"please!"

Both of them were rare masters. In an instant, the fighting was so intense that swords flew everywhere, and the onlookers couldn't even see their figures clearly.

Lu Changping watched with fascination, grasped his soft sword, and was eager to try it out.

He stared closely at the two people fighting in the air, and suddenly found a wisp of smoke coming out of Shao Beiyan's sleeve and heading towards Li Jixin's face.

The smoke was so light that it was almost invisible. If Lu Changping had not been standing on the third floor, at a similar height to the two of them, and he had not been staring at them without blinking, even he would probably not have noticed it.

Lu Changping thought to himself that something was wrong. Sure enough, Li Jixin's body softened and he fell rapidly down and landed on the ring.

Shao Beiyan's Sirius Sword slashed towards Li Jixin's right arm. Li Jixin raised his sword to block it. The Sirius Sword cut off Li Jixin's sword and continued to slash towards his right arm.

Li Jixin felt his body was as stiff as a rock and he was completely powerless, with no way to avoid the sword.

There were exclamations from both the stage and the audience. Some people even covered their eyes, not daring to watch the godlike young man splattering blood on the arena.

At the critical moment, Li Jiren kicked Shao Beiyan away, caught his fallen brother, and protected him behind him.

Lu Changping had already jumped out of the window to rescue him, but when he saw that Li Jixin was out of danger, he tiptoed back upstairs.

The people whose heads he stepped on for leverage were cursing loudly in anger, but Lu Changping didn't care.

Lu Yanyan felt her back was soaked. She couldn't imagine what would happen if such a flamboyant and unruly young man had his right arm chopped off.

"Prince, what do you mean? If you are so protective of your people, there is no need to continue this competition." Shao Beiyan shouted at Li Jiren.

"Brother, he's cheating. He has something up his sleeve."

Li Jixin almost couldn't stand, and Prince Qing and Li Chonglin supported Li Jixin anxiously.

"Yang Ziliang, go find the doctor and Ye Jianan. If anything happens to Jixin, I will make sure that all your relatives and friends are buried with him."

Yang Ziliang was so angry at Prince Qing that he was speechless. What did this have to do with his Ministry of Revenue? The people responsible for checking the personal belongings of the contestants were the imperial guards, not the Ministry of Revenue officials.

But Yang Ziliang didn't have time to argue with Prince Qing. He was also worried that something really happened to Li Jixin, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite Doctor Ye.

Wei Qing was worried that the people from the Ministry of Rites were deliberately delaying time, so he jumped up and saw Zhao Xingwu standing on the carriage looking towards the arena.

Wei Qing flew to the carriage, cut the reins with a flash of his sword, and then rode away.

Before Zhao Xingwu could react, his horse was snatched away. He ran after the man and shouted, "Give me back my horse! Don't run away!"

Lu Liang rolled his eyes and hit Zhao Xingwu's calf with a small stone. Zhao Xingwu felt pain in his leg and fell to the ground.

He glared at Lu Liang angrily, and seeing his elder brother's angry look, he immediately returned to the carriage feeling aggrieved.

"It turns out that the second son of Prince Lin is so unable to accept defeat that he slanders others when he can't win. This really opened my eyes."

Shao Beiyan's voice was so loud that almost everyone present could hear it.

Li Jiren's eyes seemed to be burning with fire. He took the broken sword from his brother's hand and attacked Shao Beiyan's sleeve with a swish.

Shao Beiyan quickly raised his sword to block it. He wanted to mock him again, but Li Jiren forced him into silence.

Shao Beiyan was horrified. As soon as he met Li Jixin, he knew that he was too confident. He was no match for Li Jixin. He had no choice but to use that thing.

At this moment, Shao Beiyan only hated himself for being too impatient. When he saw Li Jixin was hit, he was about to step forward to kill him, but he forgot to deal with the aftermath.

Being defeated by the young man was not the most terrible thing. If this thing were discovered, the reputation he had worked hard for nearly thirty years would be destroyed.

Except for Shao Beiyan himself, everyone who knew martial arts or not could see that Li Jiren, holding the broken sword, had forced Shao Beiyan, who was holding the Sirius Sword, to have no power to fight back.

If Li Jiren had not yet had any evidence and had not yet had the intention to kill, Shao Beiyan would probably have been killed long ago.

Apart from showing his amazing lightness and internal strength on the first day, Li Jiren had not made any moves in the past few days. Now everyone knew that his kung fu was so advanced.

With a "swish", Shao Beiyan's left arm sleeve was cut, revealing his bare arm. Li Jiren turned his wrist and picked up Shao Beiyan's right arm sleeve again.

This time, almost everyone could see that Shao Beiyan had a very small object tied to his right wrist, which looked like it could launch hidden weapons.

The crowd roared again.

"It turns out this Shao guy really used hidden weapons to hurt people."

"You're already old, and you're using this method to harm a teenager. How shameless!"

"No wonder they say he rarely meets an opponent. It turns out he relies on sneak attacks."

Shao Beiyan almost vomited blood after hearing this. He really relied on his strength in the past, but now he couldn't say anything and tried his best to prevent Li Jiren from getting the hidden weapon.

He wanted to launch the smoke again, but Li Jiren was prepared. With a wave of his palm, Shao Beiyan sucked the smoke into himself.

Shao Beiyan fell down quickly and was unable to move. Li Jiren pointed his sword at Shao Beiyan.

"Bring out the antidote!"

Shao Beiyan gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

Li Jiren called one of Li Jixin's personal guards to search Shao Beiyan, but unfortunately Shao Beiyan did not have the antidote on him.
