Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

"Brother Yan, we meet again!"

When Yan Qixing saw Li Xingzhi, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Young brother, this matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better leave quickly!" He thought Li Xingzhi was still the same 'Li Qing' from before.

"Have you not heard the saying 'A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' separation'? We've been apart for months, Brother Yan, how can you still look at me with the same old eyes?" He stood to one side, smiling, completely disregarding the hundreds of silver-armored elite soldiers before him. "It seems Brother Yan owes me a great favor today!"

As he spoke, Li Xingzhi snatched the halberd from Yan Qixing's hand, carried it on his back, grabbed Yan Qixing's shoulder with his right hand, and rode away in the dust, leaving hundreds of people behind dumbfounded!

This time, Li Xingzhi didn't rush out to save people because he was being a good Samaritan, nor was it because of the secret manual or treasured sword he considered a 'calming' item. He simply felt it was a real pity that such a heroic figure had died like this!

"A deity?!" exclaimed Soldier A.

"Ouch—" The leader, standing not far from Soldier A, heard Soldier A's cry, slapped him, and then shouted, "The thieves have escaped! Aren't you going to chase after them?" With that, he led the way and rushed out. Although he had little hope of catching the two men, this action was still necessary.

Li Xingzhi carried Yan Qixing as they sped through the secluded alleys, and all that could be felt by onlookers was a strange gust of wind!

Yan Qi stared wide-eyed at the fleeing Li Xingzhi, his shock no less than that of the soldier who had exclaimed "divine being!" After all, he had known Li Xingzhi's background just a few days ago; how could he have become so powerful in the blink of an eye?

He stared at his hands in astonishment, still unable to believe that his weapon had been taken away so easily—even though he was exhausted.

"Hmm?" Li Xingzhi suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing violently. "Could there be someone else?" he wondered, and then turned in a different direction to look for the sounds of fighting.

As darkness fell, he was no longer afraid of being discovered or surrounded, and he became more relaxed.

At this moment, Yan Qixing also heard the sounds of fierce fighting and suddenly called out, "Young brother, put me down!"

Being dragged away by Li Xingzhi in such a disheveled state made him feel somewhat embarrassed, but more than that, the constant sounds of fighting reminded him of the masked boy who had come earlier.

Li Xingzhi glanced at Yan Qixing, stopped, put him down, and flipped his hand, revealing two jade pills. "Take these; they will do you good!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Qixing did not hesitate for a moment, grabbed the two pills from Li Xingzhi's palm, and swallowed them.

The pills immediately transformed into two warm currents that flowed through his entire body, giving rise to a powerful aura in his dantian!

"Good medicine!" With that, he grabbed his halberd and strode toward the source of the sound, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Li Xingzhi floated down like a gentle breeze, hanging lightly behind.

The sound grew closer and closer until all that could be seen was dozens of silver-armored warriors surrounding a young man. Many other armored soldiers in the distance had already been alerted and rushed over.

The young man, wounded and exhausted, was not yet on the verge of collapse, which impressed Li Xingzhi.

Yan Qixing's eyes widened, a sharp glint flashing within them. Without uttering a word, he raised his halberd and charged straight into the fray!

He swung his halberd, and in just a few moves, only a handful of the dozens of silver-armored men could still stand!

Li Xingzhi watched from behind and exclaimed in amazement! With his many techniques, plus his recent breakthroughs and insights, ten Yan Qixings wouldn't be enough for him to kill. However, when it comes to battlefield combat, even dozens of Li Xingzhis might not be able to match one Yan Qixing!

This person was born to fight!

"How are you?" Yan Qixing grabbed the young man who was about to collapse.

The young man removed his headscarf, revealing a handsome face with striking, arched eyebrows that were unforgettable. However, some childishness remained on his face, and he was deathly pale due to excessive blood loss.

When the young man saw Yan Qixing, his eyes lit up and he immediately gripped his hand tightly. "Hero...you've come...I just feel ashamed before my parents..." He said a few words in a broken voice, then his eyelids fluttered and his head drooped, but his hand was still tightly gripping Yan Qixing's clothes.

Li Xingzhi looked at the young man's still bleeding wounds; his entire body was covered in crimson!

He didn't know what relationship this young man had with Yan Qixing, and said solemnly, "Give him to me! If the bleeding doesn't stop, his life will be in danger!"

Li Xingzhi took the young man, whose blood was still gushing out, and without any visible movement, he lightly tapped his finger, and slowly, the bleeding subsided. Only then did he wrap the large wound with a cloth, and put a few jade pills into the young man's mouth. The young man's breathing immediately became steady.

"Let's go, or we'll be in trouble again!" Li Xingzhi frowned as he looked at the silver-armored soldiers gradually gathering around him.

The Li family had just been ravaged by Zhou Da's serious injuries when they saw Li Xingzhi, covered in blood, return with two blood-soaked figures, almost causing a commotion throughout the entire mansion.

"Alright, I'm fine. Don't disturb my grandfather or the others. Go and get a few buckets of water!"

Yan Qixing wasn't seriously injured, just exhausted. However, all three of them needed to be thoroughly cleaned up, otherwise, with their blood surging like this, things might get complicated tomorrow.

The servant standing tremblingly below glanced up at Yan Qixing, and seeing his full head of white hair and the murderous aura emanating from his halberd, a chill ran down his spine, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He silently prayed that this young master wouldn't cause any more trouble...

The strong winds subsided after a few days.

The trees are still, only the lingering sound of the wind remains.

In the gossip mills and brothels, many people fabricated strange stories based on their own speculations!

The most widely circulated version is: "Human Cao dreamt of beheading the Dragon King of the Jing River, and divine generals protected the holy emperor."

The reason this rumor spread so widely is that the emperor later indeed issued an edict ordering the two generals, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, to protect him!

The mix of truth and falsehood inevitably gives skeptics an outlet for their suspicions, and even those who don't believe it start to have doubts after repeated rumors spread.

Li Xingzhi listened to the gossip among the servants who were taking a break, and was surprised. He then burst into laughter. He never expected that the myths and legends passed down through the ages would come about in this way. What surprised him even more was that the appearance of door gods in later generations was somehow related to him!

"Li Shimin must have been truly terrified by Yan Qixing. Now that Yan Qixing is still alive and well, he must be feeling quite uneasy!" Li Xingzhi thought to himself, feeling frustrated.

There's one more chapter, I don't know if I can finish it. It would be troublesome if my mom urged me to go to sleep.
