Chapter 25 What an amazing fat guy!
The tiger-head boundary marker stands there quietly, dividing this area into two parts.

No one stopped the pursuers from crossing the boundary marker and reaching Yang Dian's side.

But they didn't cross over.

Because they all know, what difference would it make if they got over it?

The rules of Tai'an City are still there.

Everyone knows all too well what became of those who violated the rules of Tai'an City in the past.

Even if Linghu Ye's trusted subordinate broke the rules in Tai'an City and fled back to the army, Linghu Ye could simply send a letter from the city lord of Tai'an City and have that subordinate bound and sent back to Tai'an City.

If even the kings of the Guanwai region are like this, one can only imagine how others are.

Killing someone is simple. At this moment, Yang Dian clearly has no power to resist. He is covered in blood, and blood gushes from his wounds as he breathes. Let alone a martial arts master, even an ordinary person could easily take his life right now.

But no one can make a move.

One of the pursuers, a boy, even started to cry.

If Yang Dian never leaves the territory of Tai'an City again, they will never have the chance to take revenge, unless they are willing to pay with their lives.

Li Dachui and his group drew closer and closer.

All eyes turned to them.

The pursuers' eyes dimmed even further.

Yang Dian's eyes shone even brighter. If he had been afraid that someone would be willing to trade their life for his, now that he saw the emblem of Tai'an City and the fat man, he was certain that he was safe.

In Tai'an City, there are quite a few people who recognize this fat man.

With him around, would I still die?

Even if those people were willing to trade their lives for one, they couldn't kill themselves.

"Hey Luo, your sister committed suicide, how can you blame me?" Yang Dian stood up and said loudly, "She was the one who insisted on following me back then, what could I do? I just went along with it. If you really want to talk about it, it's her who lacked virtue!"

"Yang Dian!"

The leader's eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his hands were bulging, and his whole body was trembling.

Zhang Qingyun's eyes also reddened inside the carriage.

"Butler Li!" she cried out in a distressed voice.

Li Kaixin shook his head helplessly.

Even the most heinous criminals will be guaranteed safety in Tai'an City as long as they do not commit crimes and abide by the rules.

“Brother Li!” Zhang Qingyun turned around and looked at Li Dachui, whose eyes were still half-closed. “You’re a bandit, not from Tai’an City, and isn’t the Tai’an City Lord your backer? Others may fear the rules, but you don’t?”

Li Dachui opened his eyes, stared at Zhang Qingyun for a long time, and then suddenly wiped his face, revealing his bearded face to Zhang Qingyun.

"Brother Li, are you willing to punish this villain?" Zhang Qingyun asked in surprise.

Li Dachui smiled and said, "I'm willing to help because you called me Brother Li. But we have to save ourselves first before others can help us. Everyone is watching us. Even if I wanted to help, how would I get out? Openly break the rules of Tai'an City? That won't do. To be honest, I set this rule."

Zhang Qingyun was stunned.

"How could they... how could they..."

Li Dachui smiled but remained silent.

Outside, Yang Dian's almost maddening voice continued to drift in, as he recounted his romantic affairs with that woman. Zhang Qingyun's teeth were grinding together.

Just then, a loud shout rang out, and from among the pursuers, a figure soared into the sky, drew his sword mid-air, the blade gleaming brightly, like Mount Tai pressing down, and cleaved straight at Yang Dian.

Although Yang Dian was carried away by his success, he remained vigilant towards these people.

And this is exactly the result he wanted.

The pursuers from the Luo family were almost all elites of the Luo clan outside the pass. Even if they didn't kill him today, as long as they were still alive, Yang Dian could forget about having a single good day. Although Tai'an City had everything, it was also a den of iniquity. Outsiders couldn't withstand it without mountains of gold and silver there.

He only had a little money, and once he entered Tai'an City, he was afraid it would be all gone in no time. What would he do then? He wanted to find a job, but Yang Dian's reputation wasn't good, and he was afraid no one would want to hire him. The only way out was to join the city's garrison.

But the city guards were very disciplined, and Yang Dian couldn't bear such hardship.

He's living a carefree life outside, with countless beautiful women waiting for him, the handsome Yang, to pluck them!
Human desires are endless.

At first, he just wanted to escape with his life, but now he wants to live a good life.

When he saw the badge and the fat man, a wicked idea immediately came to mind.

Enrage them!
Especially that boy,
He was the only male heir of the Luo family in this generation.

Let that boy cross the boundary marker to kill me.

That fat guy might make a move.

Once they take action, Luo's relatives and friends will have no choice but to become enemies with Li Kaixin in order to save the boy.

In that case, they were doomed.

With the Luo family all dead, I can finally live a carefree life again.

So he spewed vulgarities, only wanting to provoke that hot-blooded young man.

Sure enough, he succeeded.

Seeing the boy lunge at him with a knife raised, Yang Dian almost burst out laughing.

Everything was under control. He rolled several times on the spot, dodging the fatal blow, and cried out, "Butler Li, help!"

The moment the young man made his move, everyone in the Luo family gasped in shock.

Because they had all seen Li Kaixin before.

They all knew very well who Li Kaixin was.

"Luo Ying, come back!" someone shouted, and someone rushed forward, wanting to take the boy's place. It's just a matter of one life for another, so let's exchange our lives for it.

Li Kaixin's face was gloomy.

A large number of people had gathered on both sides of the boundary marker, all watching this unfold.

rule!

He muttered a few words to himself, and then, to Zhang Qingyun's disbelief, the fat man dismounted like a wisp of smoke, passed the boundary marker, and reached out to grab the knife that was slashing down from mid-air. With a gentle twist, the knife fell from the young Luo Ying's hand.

The Luo family rushed forward, but under Li Kaixin's hands, they were like three-year-old children. In an instant, all their weapons were taken away, and they were sent flying back one by one, landing outside the boundary marker. Then, as if they had eyes, their weapons flew back and clattered into the ground, sticking to their bodies.

This move immediately caused people on both sides of the boundary marker to gasp in surprise.

These people from the Luo family are no ordinary individuals. The strongest among them has reached the peak of Qi Control, a dignified sixth-grade cultivator, yet he was thrown out like trash.

Zhang Qingyun's eyes nearly popped out!

Li Kaixin!
That big, fat man who smiled obsequiously at her, bowing and scraping like an old servant,

Is he really such a powerful master?

"He...he...he..." She suddenly turned her head, but Li Dachui, who was right next to her, was nowhere to be seen. Looking down, she saw that the carriage had opened a hidden door, and she didn't know when Li Dachui had slipped out through the hidden door.

She quickly peered out the window and saw a familiar bearded face carrying a bundle, swaying as he walked inside. He made eye contact with Zhang Qingyun, and the bearded man even raised an eyebrow at her!
Li Dachui really did go!
A warm feeling instantly welled up in Zhang Qingyun's heart.

I knew it; this person shouldn't be heartless.

But the rules are there, so how can he punish that bastard? He said he set the rules, but now he's going to break them himself?

Zhang Qingyun is not someone who doesn't know what's important.

Li Dachui's statement that a thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole is indeed true. Moreover, based on Zhang Qingyun's understanding of him since they met, this person truly doesn't care about one or two lives.

If it came to using human lives to uphold the rules and order in his eyes, she felt that Li Dachui wouldn't mind at all.

But now, is Li Dachui really willing to break the rules of Tai'an City just because she calls him "Big Brother" and makes a plea?

Just then, a man with a thick beard casually crossed the boundary marker and headed towards Tai'an City.

The Luo family and their group were lying on the ground, writhing and unable to get up, their faces contorted in pain. It was unclear what methods the fat man, Li Kaixin, had used, but none of them were able to get up.

As Yang Dian watched all this, a malicious thought suddenly arose in his mind.

The Luo clan members crossed the boundary marker and attacked him, breaking the rules and angering Li Kaixin, who then punished them.

All of these people were thrown outside the boundary marker by Li Kaixin.

His hand rested on the hilt of the knife.

Kill these people, and we'll have no more worries.

Once the thought arose, it could no longer be stopped.

They were outside the boundary marker.

Take advantage of his weakness and kill him. Killing these people outside the boundary marker won't break the rules of Tai'an City.

With a swish, he drew his knife.

Fly up.

The air was filled with murderous intent.

A gasp of amazement rose from all around.

How many of those who operate in this world aren't seasoned old foxes? In an instant, he understood Yang Dian's meaning.

Li Kai didn't move an inch.

If it's not within the boundaries of Tai'an City, then it's not something he has to concern himself with.

As the steward of the Tai'an City Lord's Mansion, it is also the rule not to interfere in outside affairs.

The bearded man was a few steps away from Yang Dian. As he watched Yang Dian spring up, a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Outside the boundary marker, the Luo clan members lying on the ground, unable to move, all wore expressions of despair.

Only Luo Ying struggled to her feet.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly realized that he could move again.

Seeing Yang Dian rushing towards him fiercely, Luo Ying roared and became one with his sword, lunging forward in a single bound.

There was no defense whatsoever.
He only wanted to die together with this villain.

With a loud bang, Luo Ying crashed into Yang Dian, and the knife in her hand pierced through the other's chest and abdomen with a thud. At this moment, Yang Dian's knife was raised in mid-air, but he did not bring it down for a long time.

This sixth-rank expert was actually stabbed to death with a single blow by a mere child who had just reached the Qi Control Realm.
