Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

"I underestimated you! But don't even think about getting anything out of my mouth!"

The fat man, who had been thrown to the ground by Li Xingzhi, recovered from his initial surprise and panic in an instant. His face regained its usual composure, and his eyes were filled with unwavering determination.

Looking at the fat man, Li Xingzhi realized he had caught a pretty big fish this time. "However, you really underestimated me! Now, look me in the eyes—"

The second half of Li Xing's words kept echoing in the fat man's mind, causing him to momentarily lose his senses and involuntarily turn his head to meet the pure, unadulterated eyes of the boy in front of him!

A glint of clarity flashed in the fat man's eyes, which Li Xingzhi caught. Immediately, Li Xingzhi's internal energy circulated rapidly along an extremely strange route, finally flowing swiftly through several tiny meridians around his eyes.

Li Xingzhi's eyes were immediately covered in black, like the purest black crystal, with light flowing, deep and mysterious, constantly attracting all the light around him!

The last glimmer of clarity in the fat man's eyes was instantly wiped away. His pupils dilated, his eyes filled with panic and utter despair!

"Now, when I ask you questions, you must answer them seriously—who are you?"

"I am the manager of Zhen Bao Xuan—" A dim light flickered in the fat man's bewildered eyes, and a struggle and hesitation appeared on his face. A black glint flashed in Li Xingzhi's eyes, instantly swallowing that last glimmer of light, "My name is Hou Da, and I am in charge of intelligence and some clandestine matters for Lord Hou."

"Lord Hou?" Li Xingzhi recalled the words Wang Xiucai had spoken when they first met and asked in confusion, "Is he the one from the Ministry of War in the imperial court?"

"Yes--"

"Your name is Monkey Big, so does that mean there's also Monkey Two, Monkey Three, Monkey Four...?" Li Xingzhi guessed.

"Yes. Monkey Two manages finances and commerce, Monkey Three trains private soldiers, but there is no Monkey Four."

Upon hearing this, Li Xingzhi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Did you secretly destroy the Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena back then?"

"Yes, they weren't going to obey, so we wiped them out. Even the Eagle King from back then, according to the latest news, was captured and killed." Hearing the latter part, Li Xingzhi thought of the somewhat serious but caring silver-haired old man who had prepared to heal him, and the blackness in his eyes deepened!

"You know who I am, right?! How are you planning to deal with us?"

"I have already sent several dozen guards to the Li family's villa..."

……

In a secluded courtyard in Luoyang, a dozen or so men dressed in black slipped inside. The moment the guards entered the front courtyard of the Li residence, they were discovered by the dozen or so burly men who were hiding and on guard. In a single encounter, several were severely injured.

The guards were seasoned and ruthless warriors who quickly reacted, drawing their swords to attack the 'beasts' that kept attacking from the shadows.

However, these men, exuding a fierce aura, were not afraid of weapons!

The cold, sharp blade slashed at his body, leaving only a bloody mark and scraping the skin, but not penetrating to the bone marrow.

The ruthless men who charged out raised their broadswords, and anyone who grazed them was either injured or maimed or killed!

In such a situation, even these cold-blooded and inhuman guards who had witnessed countless brutal killings were terrified and died!

The two men who had just come out of the hall, having heard the sounds of swords clashing, were shocked and horrified when they saw those fierce men who were fearless in the face of swords, their murderous aura soaring to the sky. They stood there dumbfounded for a moment!

When Li Xingzhi returned to the Li residence carrying the monkey, the sounds of fighting had subsided. Only the blood-red light that rose into the sky remained, and burly men covered in blood stood in the front courtyard, swords drawn. Some of them, with bloodshot eyes, were even chopping up the corpses on the ground into pieces with their blood-soaked swords! The sight made Li Xingzhi's throat tighten, and he felt like vomiting!

"You guys clean this up!" Li Xingzhi said, not wanting to look at the crowd anymore. He nodded to the two people in front of the main hall, ignoring the surprised looks of the crowd, and stepped directly onto the lush garden trees and upturned eaves next to him, entering a side hall that was far from the front courtyard.

Li Xingzhi threw the fat monkey he was holding into the hall and said to the two people who came in, "He is Manager Zhen Baoxuan! He's the one who ordered the annihilation of the Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena." He looked at the girl and continued, "He's also the one who sent people to kill your grandfather!"

The girl looked at the fat man lying on the ground, her eyes red and full of resentment, tears streaming down her face, her hand tightly gripping the 'Xiuluan Blade'; while Zhang Daniu, standing beside her, had his wide, bulging eyes, bloodshot and full of veins, and the veins on his hand gripping the broadsword were bulging like the roots of an old tree, which was quite terrifying!

Looking at the two men whose expressions had changed, Li Xingzhi suddenly said, "His name is Monkey Big, but he's nothing more than a henchman of one person!"

This sentence calmed the two people, who were in a state of extreme resentment, down a little.

"Who...who is that person?"

“That man wields immense power, so there’s no use in you knowing now! I will tell you when the time is right.” Li Xingzhi looked at the somewhat impulsive Zhang Daniu, not wanting to cause any tragedy because of this.

Although that person held a high position, Li Xingzhi, who knew a little about what would happen later, had already made arrangements.

Without waiting for the two to ask any further questions, Li Xingzhi asked Zhang Daniu, "Has anyone from your martial arts school been captured alive?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daniu shuddered! Looking at the mangled, unconscious figure lying on the ground, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, "It was too chaotic back then, I don't know if any of my brothers survived..."

Li Xing threw it—

"brush--"

A whooshing sound came as a pebble struck the monkey's philtrum.

The monkey's eyelids twitched slightly, then it suddenly opened its eyes and saw the people in front of it. "You—what did you do to me?!"

He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned frantic. His face turned deathly pale, and all his former composure vanished!

"I didn't do anything to you, you just told me your name is Monkey King, and of course, the name of your boss..."

Li Xingzhi relentlessly attacked Hou Da's spirit until the last trace of color drained from his face.

Suddenly! All the white in Li Xingzhi's eyes disappeared, leaving only a deep, dark blackness!

Monkey's expression suddenly froze!

Under the horrified gazes of the two people beside him, Li Xingzhi used the Soul Transfer Technique for the second time, effortlessly finding out the location where the few surviving people in the martial arts school were being held.

"Wait here for me, I'll go look for it!"

The rescue couldn't wait, and under Zhang Daniu's expectant gaze, Li Xingzhi didn't delay. He once again leaped from the eaves to the trees, heading straight for the eastern suburbs of Luoyang...
