Chapter 3: Even Before Running Away, Take a Bite of Meat
"Young Master Lin, step back. This kid is at his last gasp, a cornered beast fighting desperately. Leave him to us, lest you get your hands dirty..."
The disciples of Luojian Sect and members of the Li family standing around Lin Shuang immediately drew their swords and sabers at Li Xiuyuan.
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan didn't care about anything else. As he circulated his inner energy, he thrust his long sword straight at the people surrounding him like lightning.
"Pfft..."
One of the men at the front was unable to dodge in time and had his chest pierced by a sword.
Amidst the splatter of blood, the panel in front of Li Xiuyuan appeared:
[Thunder Sword Technique successfully entered. Max level requirements:]
1. Swing the sword ten thousand times under the thunder and lightning. (Incomplete)
2. Using the Swift Thunder Sword Technique, kill more than ten martial artists of the same level. (Incomplete)
Sure enough, after reaching the highest level, he quickly mastered the two sword techniques he had previously practiced and entered them into the max-level system.
However, the rain has lessened considerably, and there are signs that the sky is clearing up.
To fulfill the first condition, we still need to wait for the right opportunity.
But the second one!
"Bang bang bang..."
The men who surrounded him unleashed their swords and knives at Li Xiuyuan.
Although it pierced and tore Li Xiuyuan's clothes, it seemed to have caused no harm whatsoever.
The longsword was drawn from his body, transforming into a swift sword light that slashed horizontally.
With a "whoosh," a Luojian Sect disciple rushed to Li Xiuyuan's side, his long sword still slashing at Li Xiuyuan's shoulder. At this moment, he only saw a white light magnify in front of his eyes, and the next moment the world spun around him.
His head flew several meters into the air and rolled several meters away.
"this……"
"No wonder this kid is so fearless; he's wearing armor. Cut off his limbs, but not his head. Young Master Lin wants him alive!"
Upon seeing this, the men who immediately attacked exchanged glances. One of them shouted, turned around, and swung his broadsword down at Li Xiuyuan's arm.
When they attacked Li Xiuyuan, they found that their swords and blades couldn't penetrate him, so they immediately concluded that Li Xiuyuan, who was protected by Iron Shirt, was wearing armor.
The group felt they had finally found the real reason why Li Xiuyuan hadn't been caught despite killing so many people along the way.
After all, if a ninth-rank martial artist is wearing armor and fighting desperately, it will inevitably hinder other martial artists of the same rank who want to capture him alive, and he may even be killed if he is not careful.
But at the moment.
More than fifteen people surrounded Li Xiuyuan, including four ninth-rank martial artists and Lin Shuang, an eighth-rank martial artist, who was watching from afar.
In almost everyone's eyes, Li Xiuyuan, who had already gone through a night of fierce fighting and escape in the rain, was now just struggling to survive.
Even with armor on, escape was no longer an option.
"Well done!"
Li Xiuyuan didn't care about all that and didn't offer any further explanation.
With a loud shout, he advanced instead of dodging, channeling his inner strength to meet the downward slash, and cleaved the burly man's head with his blood-stained longsword.
Everything happened too fast. The big man's long sword had barely struck Li Xiuyuan's left arm when his head was cleaved open by the sharp blade.
Brain matter and blood splattered all over the ground, causing the people around to shudder and stop in their tracks.
2. Use the Swift Thunder Sword Technique to kill more than ten martial artists of the same level. (1/10)
After glancing at the prompts on the panel, Li Xiuyuan did not stop walking.
Under the full level of Iron Shirt, these ordinary swords and blades will hurt, but they will not cause bleeding damage. At most, they will leave clear scratches or large red and swollen patches.
Under the current circumstances, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't care at all.
However, the continuous attacks did give Li Xiuyuan a chance to catch his breath!
Although he relied on his Iron Shirt technique, Li Xiuyuan knew his own limitations.
There were three other ninth-rank martial artists surrounding him, and also an eighth-rank martial artist named Lin Shuang.
Moreover, the commotion here will inevitably attract the attention of other members of the Li family soon, and if I am left here...
Once his seventh-rank "uncle" arrived with his men.
I will definitely be caught, subjected to inhuman torture, and die a miserable death.
This is absolutely not what Li Xiuyuan wanted to see!
"Li Xiuyuan, I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the cultivation technique, and I'll make your death easier. Otherwise..."
Dressed in fine clothes, the haughty Lin Shuang slowly walked out and looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was covered in blood and in a terrible state, and sneered.
In his eyes, Li Xiuyuan was already a dead man. The only reason he hadn't been killed was because he still wanted to get the mysterious martial arts manual left behind by Shangguan Xiuhong from him.
"Cultivation techniques?"
Haha, even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. And even if I die today, I'll take you down with me!
"You want this martial arts technique? Then you'd better watch carefully..."
As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, pushed off with his feet, and like an arrow released from a bow, pierced through Lin Shuang, who was right in front of him with his sword.
Under the max level of the Sudden Rain Sword Technique.
Standing there, Lin Shuang suddenly felt a deadly danger enveloping her.
With a quick movement of his feet, he leaped backward several meters.
"Protect Young Master Lin..."
The three ninth-rank martial artists who were originally blocking Li Xiuyuan's back suddenly flashed and blocked Li Xiuyuan's sharp sword with a "clang".
At the same time, a dozen or so people quickly surrounded them again.
"You think you can protect them?"
Li Xiuyuan shouted sharply and drew his sword again.
With a "whoosh," the sword pierced through the chest of a ninth-rank martial artist. With a sudden horizontal slash, blood splattered, and Li Xiuyuan had already passed over the man's body, heading straight for the empty space around Lin Shuang.
"I underestimated you, but the more you act like this, the more it proves that this technique is not something a piece of trash like you can possess!"
Very well, you should feel honored that I, the young master, can personally suppress you!
They sensed Li Xiuyuan approaching, carrying an overwhelming killing intent.
Lin Shuang snorted coldly, drew her long sword from her waist, and met the attack with a swift strike.
clang!
Li Xiuyuan immediately felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car, and was sent flying several meters backward.
His blood and qi surged, and as soon as he stood up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His entire arm was throbbing with pain and trembling, making it difficult to hold the long sword.
"As expected, I have cultivated my Qi and Blood to the eighth rank, and my strength is much greater than when I first entered the ninth rank."
I got up and, with the help of the twilight, I saw a figure moving on the hilltop not far away.
Lin Shuang was also in a bad mood. Although the sword had sent Li Xiuyuan flying, Lin Shuang's right hand was also in excruciating pain.
He took a step back, and if he hadn't forced himself to suppress the surging blood, he probably would have spat out a mouthful of blood the moment he stepped back.
At this moment, Lin Shuang's face was ashen as she looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was trembling as he stood up from the ground, coughing up blood. Her eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent.
"A lowly wretch like her dares to try and climb the social ladder through marriage to the Lin family... What a pipe dream, she's courting death!"
"Li Xiuyuan, stop making futile struggles. Hand over the cultivation technique, and you can reunite with your foolish father!"
This is the last chance I'm giving you, I don't want to say it a third time...
As she spoke, Lin Shuang took a step forward, her blood and qi surging, forcibly suppressing the surge of blood that was about to burst forth again!
"what……"
"You all deserve to die, Lin Shuang, you bastard, didn't you want to kill me?"
Come on, even if I, Li Xiuyuan, die today, I'll still kill you, you son of a bitch!
Ah, I'll do everything I can for you...
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, and his aura completely erupting.
The boundless rage and killing intent made those surrounding him tremble with fear, and they gripped their swords tightly, ready to fight.
Even Lin Shuang frowned, gripping her long sword tightly, staring intently at Li Xiuyuan, who was cornered and ready to fight to the death.
Although he believed Li Xiuyuan was doomed, Lin Shuang knew that if this man died, his mission here would not have been perfectly accomplished.
That sword strike just now had caused him considerable injury.
This further demonstrates the power of that mysterious technique, and that he absolutely must obtain it!
Just when everyone was on high alert, ready to attack.
Without any hesitation, Li Xiuyuan turned around and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the lush, twilight-covered forest before him.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiuyuan wasn't stupid; after that sword strike, he already knew that he was no match for Lin Shuang at all.
In addition, in the instant he was blasted away, he saw that the Li family members were also chasing after him not far away.
If we don't run now, we're definitely doomed.
So when he was about to fight to the death, he was already prepared to turn around and run away.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan needed to break through the encirclement immediately and leave this place.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!
Only by surviving can one take revenge, make the enemy pay the price, and do whatever one wants.
As for these people, he won't let any of them get away with it when they meet again!
"What are you standing there for? Chase after them!"
Just moments before, Li Xiuyuan had been fighting to the death, but now he had vanished in the blink of an eye.
Lin Shuang knew she had been tricked.
He immediately flew into a rage, pointed in the direction where Li Xiuyuan had disappeared, clenched his fists, his face ashen, and roared angrily.
At that moment, several more figures swiftly appeared in the forest.
The newcomers were none other than Li Cangshan and his group, who had rushed over after hearing the commotion!
