Peerless Sword God of the City

Among the crowd was a beautiful young woman, as pure and lovely as water.

The girl wore a cartoon hat and blue skinny jeans that accentuated her slender legs, while a light blue top completed the look, exuding youthful energy.

She walked among the crowd, attracting a lot of attention because of her beautiful face, but she didn't seem to care, as if it had become the norm.

As the girl walked out of the airport, two luxury sports cars pulled up beside her amidst envious glances from passersby.

Several robust men stepped out of the car. They were all dressed in black bespoke suits, wearing sunglasses, with strong facial features and an air of masculinity, clearly skilled in martial arts.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes.

"Miss, the master has something he can't leave for, so he sent me to fetch you," the middle-aged man said respectfully with a gentle smile.

"Uncle Huang, I understand. Thank you for picking me up." The girl was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said.

The middle-aged man, addressed as Uncle Huang, bowed and said, "Miss, please get in the car first. Your master is waiting for you at home."

Hearing Uncle Huang's urging, the girl glanced in the direction of the airport gate, but she did not see the face she longed for.

Brother Li Yi should be in school right now!

With a hint of dejection, the girl opened the car door, got into the sports car amidst the admiring gazes of countless people around her, and sped away.

……

……

Li Yi stood outside the airport, carrying the Xuan Tie sword wrapped in black cloth, looking at the familiar and long-lost beautiful figure, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

If he weren't just an ordinary person who needed to go through security to pick up his loved one at the airport, he would have rushed in long ago and embraced her after a thousand years apart.

Tell her he misses her.

He had waited a thousand years for this moment.

In this life, I will protect you until the end of time, and no one shall insult you or harm you in the slightest.

Because in this life, he is no longer the Li Yi from his previous life on Earth, who was mediocre, whose lover was assassinated by the Chen family and whose fragrant jade was lost, and whose parents were forced to commit suicide in despair because they could not take revenge.

In this life, he is the reincarnation of a great cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage!

He is Li Yi.

He is back.

……

……

Vehicles are speeding along the road near the Zhongshan Road intersection.

Xie Feier sat in the car, clutching a jade pendant tightly in her hand, gazing absently at the scenery outside the window.

"Brother Li Yi, Fei'er is back. This time, Fei'er will never be separated from you again."

Xie Feier carefully put the jade pendant into her bosom.

"Uncle Huang, has anything happened at home recently?"

Xie Feier sensed the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the car. She had been abroad for three years, and her father hadn't come to pick her up in person, which meant that there must be something very important that kept him away.

Uncle Huang's full name is Huang Cheng, and he is the Xie family's butler.

Huang Cheng looked at Xie Feier, nodded, and said, "Miss, because the three-year agreement between Master and the other three Qinghe elders to manage Qinghe Wharf is coming to an end, the captain will soon hand over the management of the wharf to the other three Qinghe elders. The Emperor Donghuang is not going to take over, so only our Xie family and Chen family are left."

“The Chen family has been making moves lately. My brothers have clashed with them many times in private, and quite a few people have died.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Feier understood why and nodded.

The Four Elders of Qinghe are the leaders of the four major forces in Qinghe City.

Captain Mo Zhengfeng, Liu Dong of Donghuang, Xie Taihua of Tianhua Group, and Chen Tian of Qinghe.

The four individuals controlled forces throughout Qinghe, and even had connections with wealthy businessmen in other cities. They frequently clashed over business disputes, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Qinghe Wharf is the biggest piece of the pie in Qinghe City.

The Daqing River connects the entire Jiangnan Province and is the lifeline of Qinghe City's waterway transportation, accounting for one-third of Qinghe City's annual revenue.

Therefore, it is a place that all major forces must fight for.

Later, Donghuang proposed a three-year agreement for Qinghe, whereby each company would manage the Qinghe Wharf and nearby hotels and casinos for three years. After the agreement expired, the other three companies would compete for the position of the next person in charge of the Qinghe Wharf.

As a result, the four major powers became much more peaceful, at least they would no longer have open conflicts.

However, every three years, the forces vying for control of Qinghe Wharf always engage in considerable disputes.

Sheffield had heard that the ownership of Qinghe Wharf was decided by a competition every three years.

As for what competition it was, she wasn't sure because she had been abroad for the past few years and rarely inquired about family matters.

"Miss, this intersection on Zhongshan Road is already on Xie family territory. Please wait a moment..."

Before Huang Cheng could finish speaking, the vehicle suddenly stopped abruptly with a hissing sound as the tires screeched against the ground.

"Ahei, what's wrong? Don't you know the young lady is sitting in the car?" Huang Cheng scolded angrily.

These bodyguards have undergone the most professional training in all aspects of their skills, and their driving skills are extremely good, so they would not normally have to brake suddenly like this.

The bodyguard, called Ahei, said in a somewhat panicked voice, "Uncle Huang, someone has intercepted the car."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Huang's expression changed.

Stop the car?

Who could be so audacious?

You should know that the Zhongshan Road intersection is Xie's territory. In Qinghe City, who would dare to stop Huang Cheng's car on Xie's territory?

What's more, the heiress of Tianhua Group was sitting in the car.

"Please calm down, Miss. I'll take care of it."

Xie Feier nodded somewhat nervously.

Huang Cheng stepped out of the back seat and saw that the road ahead was blocked by a huge horizontal log, with a dozen or so people standing in the middle of the road.

These people have very defined muscles and stand in an orderly manner, clearly indicating that they have received professional training and are very likely retired soldiers.

Furthermore, it was obvious that the crossbeam blocking the road was deliberately placed there by the dozen or so people in front of them.

"My name is Huang Cheng. I wonder what brings you all to my path?"

But the dozen or so people ignored Huang Cheng's words and looked at him coldly.

As the Xie family's butler, Huang Cheng was naturally extremely sensitive to danger. Since these people knew he was the butler of Tianhua Group, yet showed no fear, it meant they were definitely prepared.

"Ahei, if danger arises later, you and the second brother should take the young lady and leave first," Huang Cheng said solemnly.

"Haha, Brother Huang, it's been a long time!"

Suddenly, a laugh rang out, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out from behind the dozen or so people.

This man was about forty years old, with a powerful stride. On his palms, one could vaguely see a thick layer of calluses.

"Iron Hand Wang Xuan?"

Huang Cheng looked at the middle-aged man known as 'Iron Hand Wang Xuan' and his expression changed slightly.

Wang Xuan is said to be a successor of the Iron Palm technique. He practiced Iron Palm from a young age and was extremely skilled. He was a well-known fighter in the Chen family.

"Wang Xuan, who gave you the audacity to block my way?"

Wang Xuan glanced at Xie Feier inside the car, and a greedy smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he thought of the generous reward he would receive after this trip.

"Brother Huang, you take people's money to solve their problems. You can ask Yama, the King of Hell, about these questions after you die."

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned cold. He spread his five fingers, forming a palm print that spanned several meters and attacked Huang Cheng.

Huang Cheng remained unfazed by Wang Xuan's sudden attack.

"It seems your Chen family wants to declare war on my Xie family, but..."

"You think you can stop me with your meager skills? That's not enough." Huang Cheng sneered, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

He took a step forward, squatted into a horse stance, took a deep breath, his chest rose slightly, then clenched his fist, gathered his strength, and slammed it hard at Wang Xuan.

As Huang Cheng threw a punch, the force of the punch shook, and a terrifying power erupted, colliding with Wang Xuan's palm.

"Boom."

A muffled thud sounded, and Wang Xuan felt a sharp and terrifying force surge into his palm, causing his hand to tremble violently. He was jolted back several meters, his eyes filled with horror.

"You have actually touched the threshold of internal energy."

Although he had practiced Iron Palm, he was only slightly better than an ordinary person, far inferior to a true martial artist.

Internal strength martial artists have already formed internal energy within their bodies.

A true martial artist with internal strength can easily break a boulder with their chest and pierce a spear's throat.

If they are prepared, even ordinary swords and knives are unlikely to pose a threat to them.

Although Huang Cheng had only just begun to grasp the essence of internal energy, he was no match for him.

"No wonder Xie Taihua dared to send you alone with four or five henchmen to pick up her daughter, now I understand!"

Huang Cheng looked proud. Although he rarely took action and was always considered an ordinary person by his enemies, he didn't care.

"I never expected that Brother Huang would have already grasped the initial stage of internal energy?"

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black, luxurious robe slowly walking towards the intersection.

This man was about forty years old, with a resolute face, sharp eyes, and a back as straight as a javelin.

As Huang Cheng watched the middle-aged man slowly approach, a sense of oppression followed.

"Lu Family Martial Arts School, Lu... Qingshan".

Although he was a martial artist who had just begun to understand internal energy, he could not help but feel shocked. His face turned pale, and he could only speak in broken sentences.

Lu Qingshan is a renowned martial arts master in Qinghe City, who once won third prize in the National Martial Arts Competition.

A genuine internal energy martial artist.

"Master Lu, what do you mean by this?" Huang Cheng's expression became extremely solemn.

"I'm just doing what I'm paid to do." Lu Qingshan and Wang Xuan exchanged a glance, and Lu Qingshan said, "Someone offered 100 million to save your young lady's life, and I, Lu, naturally cannot refuse."

"Aren't you afraid of the Xie family's revenge?" Huang Cheng's expression changed again upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the entire Xie family goes with you," Lu Qingshan said calmly.

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, he moved!

Lu Qingshan was a true internal energy martial artist. His speed was so fast that Huang Cheng couldn't react at all.

In the next instant, Lu Qingshan had already punched Huang Cheng in the chest.

"Puff puff……"

Huang Cheng's chest suddenly sank, and the energy surged within his body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground, his face ashen and unable to move.

Lu Qingshan severely injured Huang Cheng with a punch, and without wasting any time, he strode towards Xie Feier's car.

He knew that if this matter wasn't resolved today, he and the Lu family martial arts school would be finished once the Xie family found out.

The Four Elders of Qinghe are not people that one martial arts school member like him can afford to offend.

If it weren't for that 100 million, he would never have taken such a huge risk!

The wages of avarice is death.

"Boom bang bang."

Although the bodyguards had received professional training, they were no match for a martial artist with internal strength, and were quickly knocked to the ground by Lu Qingshan.

Xie Feier looked at Lu Qingshan in front of her. Although she was a little scared, she did not cry. She just gripped the jade pendant tighter.

"Miss Xie, please don't blame me."

"Blame your life, it's too valuable."

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, his face turned icy cold, and his inner energy surged forth as he slammed down with a palm, intending to cruelly destroy the flower.

Xie Feier gripped the jade pendant tightly, looked at the sharp palm strike, and closed her eyes in despair.

Huang Cheng lay on the ground, his fists clenched, his tiger-like eyes almost dripping blood.

"Whoosh!"

But at that moment, a figure appeared in front of Xie Feier like a ghost.

Then, all that could be seen was an iron sword rising from behind the figure.

The sword tip points straight ahead.

This froze Lu Qingshan's right hand in mid-air, preventing it from moving at all.

Xie Feier opened her eyes, and when she saw the face she had been longing for day and night, her body trembled violently, and tears could no longer be held back from falling.

This figure was none other than Li Yi.

Li Yi tenderly reached out his left hand and embraced Xie Feier tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."
