Chapter 311 Li Qiwo? Avoiding Your Edge? (Eighteenth Update! 5100 Monthly Tickets Added! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

"Me? Avoid his sharp edge?!"

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak.

Amidst the crowd, Li Qi looked at his phone and saw messages from Li Wei and Li Zheng, one after the other. He casually turned off his phone without replying.

These two people have quite a bit of self-control; they held back from asking last night, but couldn't hold it in until this morning.

Li Qi felt there was no need to reply; he would wait and see, for he would have his own sword to explain the scriptures to him!
A single strike is worth more than a thousand words.

Just as Li Qi put down his phone, in the sealed-off area, Li Zheng and Li Wei, the two brilliant minds, were whispering to each other.

Has Aqi replied to you yet?

"No."

"What about you?"

"nor."

"But that makes sense. After all, it's about avoiding direct confrontation. Aqi is only sixteen, a time when youthful vigor is at its peak. We shouldn't have provoked him like that..."

The two whispered among themselves, not because Li Qi's previous performance was not strong enough, but because his opponent was Wang Taixu, a legendary figure in Tiancang for more than ten years.

This is the prestige and value brought about by twelve years of invincibility.

In the past few years, if you want to describe someone as formidable, just say they are like Wang Taixu. Those three words are more powerful than countless other words.

Beside them, Li Tianxing gazed at the flowing river and listened to the murmurs around him, yet his heart remained calm.

The idea that Li Qi should avoid confrontation is simply not going to work.

He knew all about the big thing Li Qi was about to do.

Others may not know about Li Qi killing several mercenaries, but he knows some inside information about it, and the whole thing is terrifying.

However, the old man kept this matter a secret, and only a handful of people know about it now.

Right now, he feels that the one who should really avoid his sharp edge is Wang Taixu.

"It's like a dream! Like entering a dream... Who could have imagined that the person from back then would reach this point so quickly..."

At this moment, a thought popped into Li Tianxing's mind, and he remembered Li Qi, whom he had seen just two months ago during the clan's ancestral worship ceremony.

At that time, the other party stood in the corner, inconspicuous, but now, he is stirring up the winds and clouds, and is about to end Tiancang's former legend.

Just as many in the clan once considered Li Tianxing a legend, Li Tianxing once felt the same way about Wang Taixu, even wishing he could replace him…

Unfortunately, his talent was far inferior to that of his opponent.

He had a clear understanding of himself and knew that, given his circumstances, pursuing a breakthrough was futile and would likely be a waste of time. It would be better to enter the Dao early with his unique martial arts skills and elevate his skills to the peak of the Dao as soon as possible. In the future, he might have a chance to enter the realm of the Four Great Refinements.

On the contrary, if one pursues breaking through limits, and fails to do so, after entering the Dao, one may not even be able to reach the peak of the Dao.

Thinking to himself, Li Tianxing glanced again at the old man and the other two families' elders, who were also leaning on the railing and gazing into the distance.

At this moment, Li Tianxing was also curious about what the ancestors of the Mu and Zhang families would think if they saw Li Qi's invincible sword strike.

Meanwhile, Sun Guang was walking with two girls, Sun Qing and Yan Jiuzhen. Indeed, Sun Guang and Sun Qing's relationship was very tense, and they almost never acted together. But since their parents were also there today, it was a family activity.

Under these circumstances, it was naturally impossible for the two of them to be separated. As for Yan Jiuzhen, she was only with him because her parents were away on business trips.

“Sun Guang, people online say that Li Qi is avoiding Wang Taixu’s sharp edge, but I always feel that this is not in line with Li Qi’s style.”

"So, is it possible that the Wang family of Cangbei used their family power to pressure Li Qi into giving up participation, in order to maintain Wang Canghai's invincible reputation?!"

"Or perhaps, this is an exchange of interests between the Li and Wang families. Large families prioritize family interests, and personal honor and disgrace don't matter..."

Yan Jiuzhen started gossiping.

"???"

"Have you been reading too many novels?!"

"Where would there be so many conspiracies, schemes, and exchanges of favors?!"

"Is it possible that Aqi is simply avoiding his sharp edge?"

Sun Guang complained, but he didn't tell the truth at all, deliberately holding it in.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Yan Jiuzhen doesn't believe it.

“You and Li Qi were always inseparable, but now you've separated. I strongly suspect he's been grounded by his family!”

"This is a complete cover-up! A colossal cover-up! I have to report it!"

Yan Jiuzhen shouted.

Further away, Song Ziyan was also leaning on the railing, gazing into the distance, her heart filled with complex emotions. Beside her, besides her parents, were two girls, one her older cousin and the other her younger cousin, both relatives from her maternal side.

She used to play with them quite a bit during summer and winter vacations, but these two were just here to watch the fun.

The scenery along the river was certainly not bad, but at this moment, Song Ziyan's mind was completely occupied with the various news she had seen online.

Li Qi's absence from this matter, and his potential disappearance later, left her unsure how to feel—a sense of relief? A little bit…

But she felt it was unnecessary for her to do so, since she and the other party had no relationship to begin with, and whether Li Qi participated or not was none of her business.

However, some past events and causes still lingered in her mind, disturbing her peace of mind.

Having seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant...

Time cannot be turned back, and everything is gone forever.

……

"He must not be very confident, so he's avoiding my attacks..."

"What a pity! I was actually planning to fight him and see if I could break through the Heavenly Gate!"

At this moment, Wang Taixu sat cross-legged on a large rock by the river, watching the surging river and chatting with his relatives and friends around him.

He was under pressure to fight Li Qi, but he wasn't afraid of battle. However, he hadn't expected that his opponent wouldn't even show up yesterday. At this moment, the river was surging, and Wang Taixu, dressed in black, seemed to blend into the rocks by the riverbank. His aura was vast and powerful, as if it were resonating with the river.

Undoubtedly, such weather conditions startled many people.

After three years of inactivity, Pu Yi's reappearance has revealed an extraordinary presence.

"The Wang family is truly blessed; their ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke, for such a remarkable person has been born into the family..."

Important figures from Tiancang and other places, upon witnessing such an aura, discussed it in hushed tones. Some were even captivated by Wang Taixu's presence at first glance, their minds reeling.

However, Wang Taixu ignored the surrounding discussions and simply sat quietly until the time passed and the competition of a hundred boats finally began. Only then did he set sail alone, with the engine roaring behind him. He stood at the bow, easily controlling the direction, riding the wind and waves. On the small boat, the sails fluttered, displaying a magnificent and imposing atmosphere.

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on Wang Taixu, and almost all the drone cameras were also pointed at him, showing his heroic figure from various angles.

What a sight! What a momentum! What a spirit!

"He is indeed a heroic figure!"

This is a thought that arises subconsciously in the minds of many people.

Then, more than a hundred boats on the river surged toward Wang Taixu's location, like stars surrounding the moon.

Then came the buzzing of knives and the crashing of boats.

One man, one sword, one boat; wherever he went, he was invincible. People were thrown into the air, boats tilted to the side, and no one could withstand a single blow.

"This is indeed the era of Wang Taixu..."

Many people sighed silently at this moment.

But at that very moment, in an extremely distant place, another boat sped by at lightning speed. At first, it appeared as just a small black dot, but soon it traversed the vast distance and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"What's this?!"

"There doesn't seem to be a match number on it?!"

"Who is that person?!"

"What a terrifying aura! Even Wang Taixu was like a surging river, but this person seems to be connected to the heavens..."

……

Many people couldn't help but discuss it at this time, and some insightful people exclaimed in amazement.

"Wait, isn't that Li Qi?!"

"He actually came at this time?!"

"According to the rules, he didn't even pass the three tests, so he's not qualified at all..."

"Rules are used to bind the weak..."

Some people spoke out, while others refuted them.

……

"Li Qi?!"

"That's the same person we met yesterday! It's exactly the same person! How can their demeanor be so different?!"

"Is it like a dragon?!"

Xia Hongyan watched the live video stream on her phone while peering intently through the river.

A live video stream can never fully capture a person's presence; you still have to see it with your own eyes.

What she felt made her start to speak recklessly.

"Li Qi?!"

On the other side, Xu Wei heard the exclamations from the crowd and subconsciously looked over, but it was too far away and she could only see a small dot. However, she could feel the magnificent momentum very clearly.

"Wow!"

"This is Li Qi?!"

"This aura is terrifying!"

Xu Wei's two roommates next to her also screamed in surprise.

"here we go!"

Sun Guang felt the overwhelming sense of oppression and thought to himself.

"here we go……"

At this moment, Li Tianxing felt this terrifying pressure, and while he murmured to himself, his thoughts were somewhat complicated.

"Li Qi..."

At this moment, Song Ziyan's heart trembled, as if her heartstrings had been plucked, and she was completely unable to calm down.

……

"Li Qi, I thought you were avoiding me, but I didn't expect you to come after all!"

"Good good!"

"It's the perfect opportunity to fight you and break through my Heavenly Gate!"

"I hope you won't disappoint me!"

At this moment, despite being nearly a thousand meters apart, Wang Taixu's gaze struck out like a divine blade, directly colliding with Li Qi's.

His voice, like muffled thunder, echoed across the river, stirring up towering waves.

"Me? Avoid your sharp edge?!"

Li Qi responded by twirling his long sword. In an instant, the sharp edge seemed to cut off the river, causing countless people's pupils to constrict. Even Wang Taixu felt a tremor in his heart.
