Chapter 615 Old but Not Dead

"Old man, do you think you can protect that little girl?"

Li Qingyuan took out a fan and looked at Li Chungang in front of him with a disdainful smile.

He could withstand the sword energy directly, but if Li Chungang, who was wielding a precious sword, continued to act arrogantly, he might actually get injured. So it was better to use a weapon to block it.

"I haven't left my mountain retreat for fifty years, and I never imagined that the younger generation would become so arrogant!"

"Since you're already old, why don't you just find a hole to hide in and wait to die? Why do you have to come out and be someone's dog? It's ridiculous!"

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but shake his head. The Xu family father and son were truly charismatic. Li Chungang was once a figure who dominated the world, but in his old age, he actually lost his integrity. It was truly a pity.

'call out--'

Li Chungang swung his sword across the sky, and the divine talisman dagger in his hand pierced directly into Li Qingyuan's fan.

The titanium alloy fan ribs were pierced instantly, but Li Qingyuan twisted the fan in his hand, thus blocking Li Chungang's stabbing attack.

Good guy!
Looking at the broken fan, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh. If someone were to get pricked by it, it would probably hurt quite a bit!

Given Li Chungang's strength, this sword strike should have unleashed a sword aura at least a hundred meters long. However, because Jiang Ni was behind him, and there were also many maids in the tent, his sword strike was restrained, appearing ordinary but actually concealing killing intent. Its power was enough to split mountains and divide seas.

Li Qingyuan didn't want to cause too much of a commotion, after all, he came to steal the beauty, not to kill her. What if he killed the little beauty?

In an instant, everyone else seemed to see two gentle breezes, and in the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged over a hundred moves.

Li Qingyuan had already changed more than a dozen fans. Originally, Li Chungang had planned to use the sharpness of his sword to destroy the opponent's weapon first and then defeat him. After all, there was definitely a difference between two masters of the same level, one empty-handed and the other wielding a sword.

What he didn't expect was that the other party's fans seemed to be endless. As soon as one was broken, a new one was immediately replaced, leaving Li Chungang somewhat dumbfounded.

Based on his experience, that fan was also a rare divine weapon, made of at least thousand-year-old fine iron. Having three or five of them would be the most one could imagine, but now the other party had changed more than a dozen of them in one go.
Putting aside where the other side got so many divine weapons, what normal person would carry so many fans on their person all at once?

"Old man, can't fight anymore, can you!"

After exchanging over a hundred blows with Li Chungang in one go, Li Qingyuan noticed that Li Chungang's breathing was clearly erratic, and then he calmly spoke.

As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches. Li Chungang is at least 150 years old. Although experts in this world are known for their longevity, with some even living for hundreds of years, their physical strength and fitness have inevitably declined.

Internal energy can indeed accomplish many things, such as maintaining youthful appearance and prolonging life, but no matter how well a person takes care of their physical functions, there will inevitably be a difference between a 150-year-old and a 50-year-old.

Originally, Li Chungang thought that with his strength, no one in the world could rival him. Even Wang Xianzhi, he had intentionally let him go back then. The old man had hardly encountered any enemies in over a hundred years. This time, being persuaded by Xu Xiao to deal with a lecherous thief made him feel that he had lowered his status.

If it weren't for the discovery that Jiang Ni was a once-in-a-century swordsmanship prodigy, and that he was also blessed with great fortune, Li Chungang would have been too lazy to get involved in this mess.

After all, he had said when he left that he was only responsible for protecting Xu Fengnian's safety, and he didn't care about the lives of anyone else. However, Li Chungang never expected that after not leaving home for decades, he would encounter such a freak as soon as he stepped out. The other party's strength and speed were simply inhuman; he had never seen such a monster in his life.

"You brat, the army has surrounded this place. Let's see what you're going to do now!"

Fortunately, Li Chungang had a very good attitude. Sensing that the army outside had completely surrounded the tent, the old man started to mock him.

"Are you out of your mind? With my skills, running away would be a piece of cake."

Although he couldn't see the other person's face because of the Ultraman mask, Li Chungang felt that the other person must have a disdainful look on their face.

"You...you...you actually thought of running away?"

Li Chungang's entire worldview seemed to be shocked. He never expected that such a master who could fight him would think of running away first when faced with danger.

At first, Li Qingyuan also found it strange. Were all the experts in this world fools? It was understandable that the soldiers were mentally impaired from practicing martial arts and thus fought to the death, but for experts to also fight the army head-on was simply absurd.
After all, a master can keep their distance and fly a kite; what good is a million-strong army if they can do that?
But I learned from talking with Han Shengxuan in the afternoon that, because of the world's spiritual energy, to become a peerless master, one must have a fearless heart. You can lose, you can fail, you can die, but you must never run away. Once you run away, your Dao heart will be shattered, and you will not only be unable to continue to improve, but it will also be difficult to maintain your strength!

Therefore, it is quite rare to find a master like Li Qingyuan who runs away halfway through a fight!

"Old man, you can hit me next time!"

Li Qingyuan shouted, and the luxurious tent immediately burst open, while countless wisps of mist instantly filled the air, turning the elite guards outside into blind men.

Experts like Li Chungang can naturally pinpoint the enemy's location using their aura, but ordinary soldiers have to rely more on their eyesight.

Their armor-piercing crossbows were now firing in no particular direction, like headless flies.

'Boom—Boom—'

Explosions came from all directions. Li Chungang held the divine talisman and shielded Jiang Ni behind him. This scene left him somewhat dumbfounded!

I've never seen this kind of play before!

In this world, true masters are all about style and sophistication. The opponent's use of smoke and explosions left him completely dumbfounded.

So, after I've been underground for thirty years, the world has gone completely mad?
After a long while, the smoke finally dissipated, and the soldiers guarding outside were already scattered and heavily wounded. On the contrary, Jiang Ni, who had been protected by Li Chungang, was unharmed.

But!
"Sweet potato! And the bluebird is missing!"

Jiang Ni looked around and then shouted.

Although they were all maids, only the two first-class maids, Hongshu and Qingniao, had a decent relationship with Jiang Ni. As for the other second- and third-class maids, Jiang Ni declared that she was a princess of the Chu Kingdom and would not play with them!
Well, even among maids, there are different ranks, so it's normal for her to look down on those maids.
