Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty
Chapter 34 A Chilling Aura
In a mountain valley of Wulong Mountain, there was a large stronghold where a group of fierce-looking men with menacing auras were devouring large pieces of meat with great gusto. Occasionally, someone would throw a game of pitch-pot or a lottery, which would elicit shouts and curses, turning the entire Wulong Mountain into a chaotic mess!
"Brother, something bad has happened! Something bad has happened!" A thin, monkey-faced man with a pointed mouth and a light, agile gait ran into the village, shouting as he ran, as if afraid that others wouldn't know what he was saying.
"Damn it! What 'big' news have you found out this time, you skinny monkey? If you can't give me a straight answer, I'm going to skin you alive today!" said the leader, who was sitting in the tiger-skin chair in the middle.
Hearing the monkey in the animal skin shouting like that, everyone continued eating and playing, seemingly not caring about the 'big' matter he was talking about. This monkey was always jumping around and causing trouble in the village; he was never satisfied unless he stirred up some trouble. However, he did have some connections when it came to gathering information.
"Yeah, yeah! We have to skin him alive today!" At this moment, some bored guys nearby chimed in.
"This is really big news, big brother!" Monkey said anxiously.
"What big news is it? Tell us!" the chief said, and the people around him joined in the commotion. There was little going on in the village, so they treated it all as a bit of fun.
"Brother, do you remember that courtyard in the southwest of the city?"
"The courtyard? The one inside Tanzhou City? Isn't it supposed to be watched over by 'Skinny' and 'Black Egg'? What? You want to go to the city for some fun again?" The leader glared at Monkey Head, his eyes flashing with malice, as if he would use him as a sacrifice if he didn't explain himself!
Monkey Head wasn't afraid of the Boss's fierce appearance. The Boss always looked like that. "Boss, it's the courtyard in the city! 'Skinny' and the others are in trouble!" Monkey Head said anxiously to the Boss, his face full of grief.
He and Skinny Guy were very close friends, unlike others.
"Really?" the leader shouted, standing up. His face twisted and trembled with malice, his vicious appearance and ferocious aura sending chills down one's spine!
At this moment, the sounds of eating and drinking inside the village stopped, and everyone looked this way. They were like wild beasts wearing wolf skins, their eyes gleaming with a green light that was truly chilling! Even the usually audacious Monkey Head couldn't help but tremble when stared at like this by so many people.
“I’ve found out everything,” Monkey said. “The owner of that house was supposedly a little beggar, but later he somehow became rich and bought that courtyard. The servants were all newly bought, but there were two very fierce dogs, and several of the brothers were bitten to death by the dogs!” Monkey seemed to have witnessed the scene firsthand, and his tone became increasingly cold and sharp, sending a chill down one’s spine.
However, these are all ruthless killers, so we'll just treat it as a story.
At this moment, a pale-faced, long-bearded, and thin man emerged from behind and whispered a few words to the gang leader. The gang leader nodded, gave a few instructions to his henchmen, and then resumed his merriment.
———————A fancy dividing line———————
A flash of cold light streaked across the room, but Li Xingzhi, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, moved swiftly and dodged the blade. Then, he raised his hand and grabbed the hand holding the knife. With a forceful pull, the broadsword fell to the ground with a "clang," and with a quick step, the burly man behind him, wielding the knife, was sent flying more than ten feet away, crashing to the ground.
From the moment the man behind threw his knife to the moment Li Xingzhi disarmed him and kicked him away, only a split second passed. Before anyone could even gasp, the burly man tumbled to the ground. To everyone's eyes, Li Xingzhi seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, dodging the blade before the burly man's hand landed in Li Xingzhi's. It was only that final kick—sending a seven-foot-tall, two-hundred-pound man more than ten feet away—that truly demonstrated his skill!
After kicking the big man away, Li Xingzhi came to his senses and pondered the meaning of that moment.
However, Li Xingzhi didn't have much time to think at this point, as a group of eleven or twelve fierce bandits wielding broadswords had already pounced on him!
The valiant servants and retainers around Magistrate Cui were quite capable, managing to hold off the thieves. Only then did the Li family's servants realize something was wrong, and they rushed over with large clubs in hand.
Before Li Xingzhi's servant, Jiannu, even arrived, the thieves were already in front of him. Five or six burly men pounced on Li Xingzhi, and one of them even lunged at the two children!
At this moment, a flash of cold light appeared on Li Xingzhi's hand, and a sharp beam flew out, knocking the burly man who was lunging at Erlang to the ground! Following the momentum, he lunged several meters further, sliding right in front of Erlang's feet. Blood spurted out, splashing onto Erlang's small face. His small face, covered in blood, was stunned for a moment, with an indescribable eeriness about it!
It was Li Xingzhi's Little Li Flying Dagger technique, which he had been practicing these past few days! Although he hadn't quite mastered it, it was still incredibly accurate against most people within ten meters!
Unfortunately, he only had one throwing knife, and it was too late to exchange it at the system shop. He had no choice but to muster his courage and face the several thugs armed with weapons alone!
When the thugs saw their companion, who had been lunging at the child, suddenly collapse to the ground, they paused for a moment, then rushed forward even faster, so fast that the Li family servants who were chasing after them couldn't catch up.
When the group saw Li Xingzhi approaching alone, their eyes flashed with a fierce light, and they wore a vicious grin. They raised their long swords and slashed down diagonally, the blades flashing with a gleaming light that chilled everyone to the bone!
Li Xingzhi moved swiftly, his feet barely touching the ground as he retreated three feet in mid-air, several blade flashes slicing past his nose. At that moment, the thugs, exhausted from their attacks, couldn't change direction and were about to unleash their blades. Seeing the opening, Li Xingzhi stepped forward and, with a single chop to the neck of the group, crippled the hands of two of them holding their knives.
The two burly men watched in horror as Li Xingzhi moved like a ghost, dodging their broadswords with a swift movement. Then, a sharp pain shot through their hands, and they felt nothing more. The other three, however, only felt the agility of the man before them, completely unaware that their two companions had been disarmed. Their blades missed their mark, and as they prepared to strike again, they could find no target! Just as they were filled with surprise and doubt, and turned to look, a sudden, powerful force struck them from behind, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again!
Just as Li Xingzhi was about to step forward and subdue them, he realized that the situation on Magistrate Cui's side was extremely precarious! Of the several strong slaves, only one was still struggling to hold on, with several large gashes on his body, blood and flesh rolling out! The remaining thugs, two with blood-stained faces, looking like demons, and grinning maliciously, pounced on Li Xingzhi, while the others pressed towards Magistrate Cui!
Magistrate Cui also knew some martial arts, and he drew his sword first, engaging the two bandits in a fierce battle. However, the situation was extremely dangerous! One of the bandits even went straight towards Madam Cui!
Seeing the two thieves rushing towards him, Li Xingzhi flicked his wrist, sending a golden thread shooting out. Without even checking the outcome, he ran straight towards the Cui family. However, given the distance, even Li Xingzhi's speed had its limits. Just as the thief's hand was about to be held to Madam Cui's neck, Li Xingzhi panicked. He moved his foot, sending a stone flying straight towards the thief!
Unfortunately, although he had the strength, he lost his aim and missed the thief.
However, it did slow the thief down a bit, but it was still too late; the thief's knife had already been handed over!
Just then, a sword flashed across the thief's neck, blood spurting out. The worried maids and servants screamed in fright, but Madam Cui remained calm, her face pale. It was the young lady of the Cui family, tightly clutching Madam Cui's clothes, who impressed Li Xingzhi. The little girl, her body and face stained with blood, was remarkably composed, her small hand tightly gripping a small stone she had picked up from somewhere.
Seeing that the others were alright, Li Xingzhi looked at the man with the sword and realized it was Scholar Wang!
Since he knew that Li Xingzhi didn't need his help, he had already gone to the place where women and children were gathered, waiting for them to come to him!
Li Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Old ginger is spicier!" If it weren't for Wang Xiucai this time, it would have taken some effort. And if the thieves had been reckless, who knows what tragedy might have occurred.
By this time, all of Li's servants had gathered around, and after a fierce fight, the few remaining thieves were captured alive.
Seeing that the matter on this side had been resolved, Magistrate Cui was no longer anxious and began to fight the two thieves, gradually gaining the upper hand. On the other hand, the two thieves, seeing their companions either dead or captured, became agitated and made frequent mistakes, giving Magistrate Cui an opportunity to kill the two thieves with his sword.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the thieves had been captured. Li Xingzhi was about to say something when suddenly! He felt several sharp lights attacking him from behind, as if they were going to cut his skin. A chill ran straight to his head, and his body stiffened!
The people around him stared dumbfounded as three long swords suddenly appeared behind Li Xingzhi, blocking all his escape routes! Three inexplicable killing intents invaded his mind, seemingly trying to shatter his soul!
At this moment, Li Xingzhi's Ice Heart Technique and Longevity Green Wood Qi began to circulate rapidly. The invading killing intent in his sea of consciousness was instantly suppressed, and his body became more resilient under the nourishment of the Longevity Qi. At this moment, it seemed that Li Xingzhi had completely grasped the Longevity Qi. Li Xingzhi could feel the vibrant Green Wood Qi surging and cheering in his body!
With the long sword at his throat, everyone watching was stunned into silence. No one had expected this turn of events.
However, Wang Xiucai's already pale face became even more ashen, his eyes bulging and white, which was quite frightening!
Before anyone could even gasp in surprise, Li Xingzhi's body suddenly twisted like a thin vine, barely managing to dodge the sword's edge!
Three long swords grazed Li Xingzhi's chest, lower abdomen, and back, tearing his clothes.
The longsword pressed against his skin, its chilling aura almost freezing his blood!
Li Xingzhi remained calm in the face of danger. He clapped his hands several times, and the men holding swords were sent flying!
Li Xingzhi was about to fight these people when, after several rounds of fighting, his primal wildness and ferocity were awakened! But he found that the men were already lying on the ground.
Li Xingzhi was somewhat puzzled. Although his palm strike was strong, it was difficult to render them unable to fight in such a short time!
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these individuals had all died from poisoning!
Li Xingzhi frowned, pondering to himself. He didn't know what kind of enemy he had offended that would send such a deadly assassin to kill him.
I racked my brains, but still couldn't come to a conclusion!
