Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

"Now that this matter is over, it's time for me to leave."

After saying this, he looked at Wang Quan Shouzhuo, who was still somewhat dazed, and said, "Brother Shouzhuo, if there is a chance someday, we should fight again."

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Shouzhuo's eyes were filled with fighting spirit again.

He clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Okay, I will definitely ask Brother Li for advice again someday!"

Li Chungang nodded with a smile, bowed to the Wang Quan family and everyone present, then turned and left.

The man in green shirt's back was slender in the sunset, like a sword drawn from its sheath, sharp yet restrained and deep.

Taoyuan Li family, inside the main hall.

Li Changyuan, the head of the Li family, sat in the main seat with a dignified look on his face.

He held a cup of tea in his hand and seemed to be leisurely, but in fact his eyes kept glancing towards the palace gate.

"Dad! Dad!"

A young man about seventeen or eighteen years old stumbled into the hall, holding a letter high in his hand.

He ran so fast that he tripped at the threshold and fell forward.

Li Changyuan frowned, gently put down the teacup in his hand, and an invisible force supported the boy who was about to fall.

"Why are you running so fast? Can't you speak slowly?" Li Changyuan said sternly, but he couldn't hide the concern in his eyes.

The young man steadied himself, brushed the dust off his sleeves, and shouted excitedly, "Dad, my brother beat the eldest young master of the Wang Quan family! Wang Quan is a man of few words!"

"That's the Heaven and Earth Sword. I knew Big Brother could do it..."

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Li Changyuan's hand slammed heavily on the table, splashing tea everywhere.

His face instantly darkened: "I've already told you, you're my only son. That rebellious son has nothing to do with me anymore.

Whatever happens to him has nothing to do with me or the Li family! Do you understand? "

The young boy, Li Ruojin, was startled by his father's sudden anger and shrank his neck.

But he soon noticed that although his father said this, his eyes unconsciously fell on the letter in his hand.

"If there is nothing else, you can go down!" Li Changyuan waved his hand, but his eyes still stayed on the letter.

Li Ruojin bent down to pick up the letter that had fallen to the ground, but his father stopped him: "Have you finished your homework today? Why don't you go down!"

"Yes, father." Li Ruojin stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran out of the hall.

But he did not go far. Instead, he hid in a secluded corner outside the hall and quietly observed his father's actions.

It was also because of his outstanding talent in refining weapons. Apart from Li Chungang, no one in the entire Taoyuan Li family could compare with him in refining weapons.

And he has refined a lot of good things over the years.

Among them, there are three or four items that can conceal the breath, so it is difficult for Li Changyuan to sense them.

Inside the hall, Li Changyuan lightly hooked his finger after confirming that his son had left.

The letter on the ground seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand and floated into his palm.

He carefully unfolded the letter, his eyes moving quickly between the lines.

As he read deeper, his tense expression gradually relaxed, and even a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Good boy..." Li Changyuan murmured in a low voice.

"Even Wang Quan's Heaven and Earth Sword is no match for you, you really make me proud!"

But after all, this is just what I think in my heart, and I can't say it out loud.

With a long sigh, he folded the letter carefully and hid it in his sleeve.

He looked towards the distant sky outside the hall, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Chun Gang, I hope you don't blame me. I bear the entire Li family's responsibility, and there are some things I have to do."

In the corner outside the hall, Li Ruojin watched his father's every move with a slight smile on his face.

He knew that his father was always thinking about his elder brother.

Although they had severed ties on the surface, my father would always privately follow any news about my eldest brother.

"Brother, just wait." Li Ruojin clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"One day, I will make my father proud of you!"

Inside a lively teahouse.

The storyteller stood on the high platform, spit flying as he recounted the recent events that had caused a sensation in the world.

The seats were packed, and even the aisles were filled with people.

"It is said that when Li Chungang swung his sword, Wang Quan Shouzhu's Heaven and Earth Sword melted away like ice and snow!"

The storyteller slammed the gavel.

"That's not all. Over the next month, Li Chungang challenged eighteen other sects and families, including the Black Sword Zhang family and the Qingcheng Sect, without losing a single time!"

Although the audience had already heard this story, they still exclaimed in amazement.

"Isn't this just imitating Lu Zu from five hundred years ago? One man, one sword, challenging the world!"

"This achievement is comparable to that of Lu Zu five hundred years ago!"

However, some people hold opposing views. After all, Lu Zu's name is far more famous than Li Chungang's today.

At such a young age, he was called the ancestor, defeated the demon king with his sword, etc.

Not everyone can compare!

In the corner, a man in a yellow robe and with two iconic long beards on his head quietly sipped tea and listened to the discussions around him.

This person is Dongfang Gu Yue, who is now looking for a suitable location to build Shenhuoshan Villa.

"Brother Li..." Dongfang Guyue repeated the name in a low voice, his eyes full of joy.

After all, he and Li Chungang are good friends, and now his friend is famous all over the world, how can he not be happy.

He put down the teacup and looked out the window.

Such a person has not appeared in the world for a long time.

One person challenges the entire Taoist Alliance. Who in the world can compare with such courage?

At this time, Dongfang Gu Yue seemed to have thought of something, and was fiddling with something with his fingers.

Chapter 54 Going Home

"Snapped!"

The gavel slammed heavily on the table, and the noisy discussions in the teahouse came to an abrupt end.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the goateed storyteller on the stage.

The folding fan in his hand opened with a "swish", and the ink-splashed landscape on the fan trembled slightly with his movements.

"Since everyone is tired of hearing these stories, let's tell you something new!"

The storyteller squinted his eyes and looked around, deliberately drawing out his voice.

In the corner, a man in a yellow robe and with two iconic long beards on his head gently put down the teacup.

The corners of Dongfang Gu Yue's mouth rose slightly, and his two long whiskers trembled slightly with his silent smile.

He tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and an invisible energy force silently transmitted to the platform.

The storyteller's ears suddenly moved, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.

"It is said that some time ago, on the bank of the Yangtze River in Tianyong City..." The storyteller suddenly raised his voice, and his folding fan snapped shut, pointing to the east.

"A mysterious man cuts the water with his sword and strides across the river!"

There was an uproar in the teahouse.

Because almost everyone present had heard of this incident.

He cut the river with his sword and walked across it.

How many kendo people yearn for it!

However, most of the people present had only heard of it, and few had seen it with their own eyes.

Dongfang Guyue watched the uproar in the teahouse with satisfaction. Several young men dressed as swordsmen were flushed with excitement. A white-haired old man took the stone with trembling hands, examining it carefully with his dim eyes.

"It is rumored that the shadow is a wisp of green clothing. From then on, the legend of 'the man in green clothing wielding a sword and wandering the world' spread throughout Tianyong City. Who wouldn't envy a wisp of green clothing?"

The storyteller struck while the iron was hot.

"It's Li Chungang!" a young man in the back row suddenly shouted.

"It must be Li Chungang! Because Li Chungang also wears a blue robe, and his swordsmanship is also unparalleled in the world."

When these words were spoken, many people present agreed with them.

However, there are also many doubts.

A sarcastic voice came from the private room on the second floor: "Where's the evidence? Just because the clothes are the same color?"

Dongfang Gu Yue's two long whiskers trembled slightly, and another message was sent out.

The storyteller suddenly straightened his back and said, "Believe it or not, but I guarantee in my own name that the man from Tianyong City is Li Chungang!"

The teahouse was bustling again with people talking non-stop.

Dongfang Gu Yue gently put down the tea money, and when he stood up, his robe sleeves brought up a breeze.

His figure disappeared outside the door, leaving only the silhouettes of two long beards in the sunset.

Three months later, everyone in the martial arts world knew the legend that Li Chungang was the man who cut off the river with one sword in Tianyong City.

Li Chungang, on the other hand, overcame all obstacles along the way, challenging the Taoist Alliance and the thirty-six major sects in the world from south to north, and never lost a single battle.

The Wangquan family, the Black Sword Zhang family, the Qingcheng sect...all the famous skills of the major families and sects pale in comparison to him.

Li Chungang is also known as the new generation swordsman leader after Lu Zu by people in the martial arts world, and is called the Sword God!

The title "Sword God" began to spread in major teahouses and restaurants.

Some people say that his swordsmanship is so superb that he has reached the level of Lu Zu in the past; others say that he is just an arrogant person and cannot be compared with Lu Zu at all.

Some even suggested that if Li Chungang wanted to become a true sword god, he had to follow the example of Lu Zu and defeat the Demon King with his sword!

Once these words were spoken, they will now lead the trend.

Rumors spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and become more and more biased!

Now the whole world is saying that Li Chungang is going to challenge the powerful Demon King!

The person involved, Li Chungang, returned to the Li family in Taoyuan.

The pear blossoms at the Li family's home in Taoyuan are in full bloom.

Li Ruojin sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard with his eyes closed. Eighteen flying knives were suspended around him, slowly rotating with his breathing.

Suddenly, the outermost flying knife "whoosh" shot towards the courtyard wall.

"Ding!"

His green robe fluttered as Li Chungang clamped the flying knife between his fingers and lightly landed it on the top of the wall.

The branches of the pear tree in the corner were motionless, as if only a petal had fallen.

"The Sword God's strength is indeed well-deserved!" Li Ruojin smiled with his eyes closed.

Li Chungang laughed and took out a jar of mud-sealed wine from his back: "You little brat, you even dare to tease me."

The wine jar drew an arc, and Li Ruojin hurriedly stood up to catch it, but his palm was numb from the shock.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chungang flashed to the other person's side and placed his left hand directly on the other person's shoulder.
