After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 327 Martial Arts
The little beggar cried and wiped away his tears, while secretly glancing at Li Musheng.

However, she found that the person in front of her was completely unmoved, letting her cry and shout, just watching quietly without saying a word.

Gradually, the little beggar's cries grew weaker and weaker, and eventually he simply knelt down at Li Musheng's feet without moving, silently gathering his strength.

"Damn it, aren't they supposed to be heroes? How come they have no compassion at all?"

The little beggar thought to herself, and then she saw Li Musheng take out the item she had stolen earlier and examine it closely.

Why did you steal this?

At this moment, Li Musheng suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, the little beggar looked up at him, then his eyes flickered, and he put on a pitiful and aggrieved expression, saying:

"Grandpa, I was so hungry I was about to faint. I was looking for something to eat and I just happened to find this thing."

"If you like it, sir, please feel free to take it..."

As he spoke, the little beggar blinked his big eyes and looked at Li Musheng with sincere eyes.

She hoped that Li Musheng would soften his heart and release her when he saw her like this.

However, Li Musheng glanced at the little beggar, shook his head, and said:

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Upon hearing this, the little beggar paused slightly, about to continue speaking, when he heard Li Musheng say:
"My demands are not high. As long as you can answer my questions honestly, I will let you go."

Upon hearing this, the beggar, who was about to utter a string of lies, abruptly stopped.

Her expression shifted rapidly for a moment, then she looked up at Li Musheng and asked:

"Sir, what would you like to know?"

Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Your martial arts skills and agility are quite impressive. Where did you learn them?"

While in the restaurant, Li Musheng had no intention of meddling in other people's business.

However, the little beggar hiding on the roof piqued his interest.

Although the little beggar in front of him didn't tell the truth, his skills in concealment and lightness of movement were the most exquisite he had ever seen.

Even compared to the Killing Saint of the Hidden Killing Pavilion, he is even more powerful.

Clearly, this seemingly unremarkable little beggar must have a master with an impressive background behind him.

At this moment, after hearing Li Musheng's question, the little beggar's eyes darted around rapidly.

Immediately, she released her grip on Li Musheng's feet, then sat cross-legged on the ground, gave a mysterious smile, and said:
"Since you've figured it out, I won't hide it anymore. I'll tell you the truth... I have connections, and they're people you can't afford to mess with!"

As he spoke, the little beggar raised his dirty face, looking down at Li Musheng with disdain, and said:

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better let me go. Otherwise, you'll realize that this is the most regrettable thing you've ever done in your life. You've messed with someone you can never afford to offend!"

After saying that, the little beggar's aura suddenly surged, and he gave Li Musheng a heavy snort, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

Seeing this, Li Musheng immediately raised an eyebrow and said:

"I asked you to answer my question, what are you babbling about?"

He had only praised the little beggar a little, but the other party immediately lost his bearings and changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book!

At this moment, the little beggar was clearly stunned after hearing Li Musheng's words. Then, she quietly observed Li Musheng.

Seeing that he remained expressionless, seemingly unfazed by his words, a chill ran down his spine.
"How did I end up with such a difficult person, someone who's completely unyielding and impervious to reason?"

Lost in thought, the little beggar was somewhat dazed, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Just then, Li Musheng grabbed her from the ground, made her stand up straight, and said:
Have you thought about how to answer?

Upon hearing this, the little beggar glanced at the young man in front of him, who was not very old but was excessively capable.

Immediately, she took a deep breath and said:

"Since you're so stubborn, then I won't hide anything from you. I'll tell you the truth, listen carefully..."

"My master is none other than the renowned and feared Thief Saint, Bai Wuying!"

As he spoke, the little beggar stared intently at Li Musheng, as if to see what kind of surprised and frightened expression he would show.

However, to the little beggar's great surprise, Li Musheng's expression remained unchanged throughout.

Even upon hearing the words "Master Thief," he remained completely unmoved, merely nodding slowly and saying:
"So it was related to that Thief Saint. That makes sense now."

Li Musheng had naturally heard rumors about that legendary thief in the martial arts world.

The most vivid memory I have is of the thief Bai Wuying who, many years ago, sneaked into the Great Xuan Imperial Palace and abducted one of the Great Xuan Emperor's concubines.

Although the scandal involving the Great Xuan Imperial Palace was covered up by the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, Li Musheng had heard Yu Jin read about rumored cases of successful intrusions into the Great Xuan Imperial Palace before he set off for Great Xuan.

The rumor that the legendary thief Bai Wuying abducted the Empress of the Great Xuan Dynasty is the only one that is somewhat reliable and reasonable.

Therefore, after hearing the little beggar mention the name of the Thief Saint, and after he had personally witnessed the other party's mysterious movement and martial arts skills, Li Musheng...

He no longer doubted the other party's words, since it would be reasonable if this movement technique came from that Thief Saint.

After seeing that Li Musheng seemed to believe her, the little beggar couldn't help but mutter under her breath:
"I just said a bunch of things, and you didn't believe me. But when I finally told you the truth, you actually believed me."

Immediately, the little beggar glared fiercely at Li Musheng and said:
"Hearing my master's name, you're scared now, aren't you? Keep your eyes open from now on, I'm not someone you can mess with!"

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to run away.

However, before she could take a step, Li Musheng grabbed her by the collar from behind and lifted her up.

"What else do you want to do?"

The little beggar was suspended in mid-air, his legs leaving afterimages as he turned around and shouted at Li Musheng in astonishment.

Clearly, if Li Musheng had been even a fraction slower in grabbing her, given the incredible speed at which she could swing her legs, she would have vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Write down the movement technique you possess from memory. I want to see it."

Li Musheng spoke calmly, showing no shame at having forced a little beggar to do something.

Upon hearing this, the little beggar glared at Li Musheng with wide eyes and said:
"Are you kidding me? I didn't steal anything from you. In fact, you took what I did steal. I'm already down to my underwear. And now you want to covet the martial arts skills of a beggar like me?"

"How can people be bullied like this? Is there no justice in this world? Is there no law anymore?"

……

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng remained calm and unconcerned, replying:

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer. I can teach you a martial art that is no weaker than your movement technique." Li Musheng's self-created movement technique is called "Divine Speed ​​Without Shadow," but this martial art was learned from a beginner's two-stage spring kick technique.

Although he believed he could move at extreme speed and be invisible, almost no one in the entire martial arts world could match him in terms of speed.

However, although this martial art is extremely fast, it lacks movement and variation.

The martial art that the little beggar possessed, while also excelling in speed, was even more adept at the art of change, making it unpredictable and extremely mysterious.

In addition, although the martial arts technique of the opponent was no weaker than the movement technique of the Hidden Killing Sect's Killing Saint, Li Musheng still had flaws and room for improvement.

This undoubtedly piqued his interest.

Even if Li Musheng didn't learn the Thief Saint's movement techniques, he was certain that no one could surpass him in speed.

But the Thief Saint's martial arts skills were clearly commendable, and since he had encountered him, he wanted to study them as well.

Upon hearing that Li Musheng wanted to exchange his martial arts skills for her movement techniques, the little beggar almost laughed in anger, and shouted:

"This is the secret of the Thief Saint, passed down only to the world. Once you learn it, you can roam the world freely, appearing and disappearing without a trace, and entering the Great Xuan Emperor Palace as if it were an empty place."

"What martial arts skills do you have to offer me in exchange? Can your lousy skills even compare to a single hair of my secret, the Thief Saint's, secret technique? Not even a single hair!"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng glanced at the clamoring beggar under his command and frowned slightly.

He didn't intend to use the Life and Death Talisman to force her to reveal her martial arts skills. It was clear that the little beggar in front of him was a young girl.

Moreover, the other party had not actually provoked him; he was simply coveting the other party's martial arts skills.

Therefore, Li Musheng couldn't bring himself to use the kind of life-and-death talisman that could make a person wish they were dead to torture the other party.

If he does that, then he will truly become a ruthless evil cultivator!
After thinking for a moment, Li Musheng grabbed the little beggar and then suddenly disappeared into the alley.

Meanwhile, the little beggar was about to continue speaking while cursing, but he suddenly shut up.

His eyes widened as he stared at the fleeting, blurry scene around him, speechless with shock.

Having learned the Thief Saint's movement technique, she naturally understood what all of this meant.
But before she could react, a "click" sound rang out.

The little beggar found himself thrown to the ground, and all the blurry surroundings suddenly became clear, revealing the scene in the restaurant lobby he had just witnessed.

"This...how is this possible...so fast!"

The little beggar fell to the ground, staring in disbelief at everything before him.

She had just escaped from the restaurant and had been running non-stop for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea before she reached a small alley in the city, far from the restaurant.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, she was brought back by Li Musheng.

This speed was far too fast, far exceeding her expectations. Even if the Thief Saint himself were here, he probably wouldn't be able to outrun this person.

The little beggar stared in disbelief for a long time before finally regaining his senses. He then looked at Li Musheng with a very complicated expression and asked:

"You're already so fast, do you still need to covet my martial arts skills?"

Upon hearing this, Li Musheng raised an eyebrow slightly, and said calmly:

"Don't talk nonsense and slander my reputation. How could I possibly covet your martial arts? I'm just interested in your movement techniques and would like to exchange them with you."

"What if I don't want to?" the little beggar asked immediately.

Li Musheng shook his head and said:
“If you don’t want to switch, I won’t force you. However, when that group of people comes back, I will hand you over to them.”

As he spoke, Li Musheng looked at the other person with a leisurely air and said:

"No matter what, stealing is wrong, and things should be returned to their rightful owners. You should apologize to them at least a little bit, shouldn't you?"

After saying that, Li Musheng put the thing he had taken from the beggar back on the other person.

At this moment, the little beggar realized with horror that he was now completely unable to move, let alone continue to escape from under Li Musheng's nose.

Then, she looked angrily at Li Musheng, only to see him waiting quietly, seemingly waiting for the group of people from before to return.

"No, you're not serious, are you?"

A look of panic flashed in the little beggar's eyes, and he hurriedly said:
“Those people are from the Sun Moon Demonic Sect, one of the three major demonic sects in the Great Xuan territory. They kill without blinking an eye, and everyone in the martial arts world wants to kill them.”

"You wouldn't actually help them and hand me over to them, would you? I'd be in for a terrible death!"

……

"Besides, when I stole their things, it was also doing justice, robbing the rich to help the poor... I'm a good person..."

……

However, Li Musheng remained unmoved by the little beggar's words and casually struck the beggar's pressure point to silence him.

Seeing this, the little beggar was truly frightened and tried his best to say something nice, but he couldn't make a sound.

After a moment, Li Musheng glanced to the side and saw the little beggar on the ground blinking his eyes at him desperately.

Meanwhile, the man and the two old men in black robes returned to the restaurant lobby, clearly having not found the missing item.

At this moment, Li Musheng glanced at the little beggar, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said:

"Have you figured it out?"

Upon hearing this, the little beggar frantically blinked at him, almost blinking his eyes out.

"It would have been better if it had been this way."

Li Musheng nodded slightly. This little girl was just a bit stubborn. She insisted on making him play the villain before she would give in, which he didn't want to do.

At this moment, the man and the two old men in black robes had naturally already spotted Li Musheng and the other man in the hall.

One of the old men in black robes recognized the little beggar at a glance as the same person who had bumped into him on the street earlier.

"Finally found you, you little bastard. Hand over the stuff!"

The old man in black robes moved instantly and arrived in front of Li Musheng and the little beggar.

Upon seeing this, the man and another elderly man in black robes immediately followed and surrounded the two.

"You definitely have a problem."

The man stared at Li Musheng with a gloomy expression.

He had sensed something was off about Li Musheng and his group before, and now it seemed they were clearly after them.
