Chapter 971: Chapter 10: You? Worthy?!
"Nonsense!"
Li Guanyi swung his halberd down: "That only represents."
"In your eyes, power is far above the Shaking Light."
"Human hearts have various reasons. Li Guanyi is not capable of seeing through people’s hearts, nor can he distinguish the burdens of so many people as an enlightened person who contends with the good and evil of human hearts. To consider oneself above human hearts, I lack such an ability."
"However——"
"You sacrificed the Shaking Light for real! Drawing the blood and bones of the people is real!"
"Such things can’t be changed! Nor can they be misjudged!"
Xiao Yuxue said, "We had no choice but to do this!"
Li Guanyi said, "Then I also have ’no choice’ but to destroy you!"
"If grievances have utility, where does revenge come from in the world? If helplessness prevails, where is justice in the world?!"
"Why should I care for the grievances of a filthy person like you? Your struggles and reservations no longer concern me; maybe my elder brother in the Martial World still remembers the delights of allegiance, or Siming has elder compassion and spared you a hand decades ago."
"But you first attempted to kill my dear friend, then oppressed and bullied the people."
"Countless bones, indescribable even with all the bamboo scripts under heaven."
"Li Guanyi is not them; to you, I have only one word!"
Li Guanyi’s brows raised high, and he shouted fiercely:
"Kill!!!"
The Red Dragon sang long and coiled, the golden-red scale armor suddenly became vividly real, transforming into a coiling dragon surrounding that beautiful woman, with the White Tiger pressing its paw on one side. The young man retreated into the air, wielding the battle halberd single-handedly to form an array as various Dharma Forms appeared one by one.
The Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation directly locked the woman in place.
The Fire Qilin shook its head, revealing its true form just behind Li Guanyi, raising its head and opening its mouth as golden-red flames emerged. With no delay in the young man’s voice, the Grandmaster Level Qilin Fire turned into a pillar of fire, fiercely crashing down.
BOOM!!!!
At a high place several miles away from the array, Changsun Wuchou and others watched the small town where Li Guanyi had entered long ago without any response. Suddenly Mr. Lei said, "Look!!!"
Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see the center of the town abruptly explode with a massive roar. Instantly, golden-red flames burst forth, and a crimson Divine Dragon wrapped in flames spiraled into the sky.
Batuer’s crowd was stupefied: "...!!!!"
I... damn???
Traveling merchants in the Central Plains are like this, yes, yes, yes...
Yes, my ass!
Batuer only felt his forehead drenched in cold sweat, momentarily dazed, feeling that such means were no different from the mythological Tian Ge’er in the epic tales, suggesting that perhaps the heroes in those tales were not myths.
Fan Qing said, "These are the master’s methods!"
"It seems the lord has engaged, Batuer, stay here, Changsun, Mr. Lei, assemble a thousand men and follow me to attack!"
Batuer said, "Don’t you find it mystical...?"
Fan Qing was silent for a moment and said, "You’ll get used to it."
This thick-browed young man had to uphold Li Guanyi’s words, instinctively shifting his gaze without directly meeting Batuer’s eyes, saying, "You wouldn’t understand."
"Our traveling merchants in the Central Plains are like this."
Batuer: "..."
...
BOOM!!!
The clashing of weapons echoed incessantly.
Using sword and halberd techniques to block the opponent’s movements, locking them instantly with the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation, then unleashing the Grandmaster Level Fire Qilin’s Qilin Fire in a simple, brutal, and extremely efficient battle style.
Crimson-golden Qilin Fire mixed with the flames of the Chi Xiao Sword, burning and melting the entire secret realm. Seeing the situation worsen, Li Guanyi pulled back his halberd to defend, performing the Wave-Rolling to sweep the Qilin Fire, then erupting with Mountain Shattering.
The entire steel-forged chamber was torn open from the inside by this terrifying force.
Li Guanyi lifted his hand to embrace the Shaking Light, pulling away with the silver-haired girl. As the secret realm erupted, even the sizable courtyard above was directly ripped open, with the crimson-golden fire dragon soaring into the sky, startling the entire not-so-bustling village, instinctually drawing their attention here.
"Hm?? What happened?!"
"It’s, it’s the master’s place..."
"There’s a dragon, is it the manifestation of a Heavenly God? Has the master finally met with just retribution, sob, sob, sob..."
Amidst various chaotic voices, Li Guanyi gently guided Shaking Light to the ground with a gentle Qi Force, letting the Qilin protect Shaking Light while he fiercely slashed with his battle halberd.
Xiao Yuxue only saw the firelight disperse before her eyes as Li Guanyi charged directly through the flames to kill, with the Inner Qi and Qilin Fire scorching the body, unable to harm Li Guanyi himself, or rather, any injuries healed instantly upon occurrence.
Holding his battle halberd, the young man with serene brows powered through the flames with bold bravery, wielding his weapon with a commanding presence.
The metallic clang was piercing.
The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd already swung down with momentum, truly aiming to kill the enemy. Xiao Yuxue smiled and said, "Such murderous spirit, worthy of the reputed killer Marquis Qin Wu, but with such deadly aura, are you really going to kill me, her mother, right in front of my daughter?"
Li Guanyi said, "You don’t understand her at all. When you spoke, her last trace of affection for you already dispersed in disappointment."
"From the beginning to the end, you only treated her as a tool."
"A decade ago, it was for power."
"And now, it’s to win me over."
"From beginning to end, your thoughts have never changed. I must admit, I’ll say this, you remained consistent, never straying from your original intention."
Li Guanyi held his battle halberd, ceased to step, as Xiao Yuxue pressed her lips together.
She had long been accustomed to the deception and the verbal skirmishes between nobility and the high ranks of the Holy Sect in the Martial World, yet these plain words from the young lord pierced her heart sharply, prompting her to smile and say:
