Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 261 When Li Chimei picked up the silver needle

Despite being insulted, Lie Zhenbei remained unmoved and calmly said, "Brother Lan, I know you."

"Hmm?" Lan Tianyun sneered. "You know me?"

"Forty years ago, Brother Lan used the 'Righteous Qi of the Long River' to intimidate the underworld. Logically speaking, such a righteous and orthodox cultivation method should have become more powerful with age. But I have never understood why Brother Lan is still not on the black list."

Lie Zhenbei stood with his gun in hand, a mocking smile on his face, and said, "Today I see that Brother Lan has dark circles under his eyes and bluish cheekbones. It turns out that he has indulged in wine and women and ruined his own future."

Lan Yuntian was furious upon hearing this. He was a powerful underworld figure who dominated the Yellow River region. He had come here today to launch a sneak attack at the request of Nian Liandan and others. How could he tolerate being mocked by a sickly person?

He and the men behind him roared and immediately leaped forward.

But then Lie Zhenbei burst into loud laughter, his red spear thrusting downwards to block Lan Tianyun's attack, only to feel the opponent's powerful and profound strength.

The spear and the opponent's fist made only a brief contact before the internal energy surged in, flowing like an endless river. Judging solely from internal strength, this person indeed possessed the power of someone on the Black List.

Ke Lie Zhenbei is a renowned "poison doctor" who has been famous throughout the world for over forty years. How could he be defeated by this debauched man?
Lie Zhenbei laughed loudly, brandished his spear, and parried left and right, actually knocking Lan Yuntian away with a single thrust.

He charged off with his gun, displaying the ferocity of a peerless warrior.

Upon seeing this, the men behind Lan Yuntian shouted in unison and charged forward with their knives.

Seeing this, Lie Zhenbei shouted, "Well done!" With a flick of his spear, a woman's head exploded, and he turned around and roared, stabbing a young man to death.

Lan Yuntian was both shocked and furious. These people were all key members of his gang, all battle-hardened and top-notch fighters. Who would have thought that they would be unable to withstand this sickly fellow even in a single exchange?

Adding to the shock and rage, Lan Yuntian discovered that the two dead men were his wife and son. He roared, "You consumptive bastards, die!"

Just as he rushed out, he heard his companions screaming incessantly as Lie Zhenbei shoved them one by one to the ground.

Lan Yuntian rushed to his back, his heart pounding with fear as he looked at the corpses scattered on the ground; there wasn't a single living person left.

The slaughter was swift as lightning, and Gu Ningqing and her daughter were completely captivated, their palms sweating as they secretly cheered for Lie Zhenbei.

Ren Shaoyang then smiled at Li Ruohai and said, "Old Li, Brother Lie's marksmanship has your influence, but in his hands it's more like needlework."

Li Ruohai laughed and said, "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die! Fifteen years ago, when we went to the Northeast together to raid the lair of the notorious bandit 'Thirteen Brothers,' I passed on my marksmanship to him."

"I never expected that after all these years, he would create a spear technique that is no less powerful than 'Wildfire Hundred Strikes'!"

Just then, Lie Zhenbei let out a long roar: "Brother Lan, you shouldn't have come today!" As he spoke, the old man stood in the moonlight, which made his white hair and beard appear even more imposing.

"But I'm already here!" Lan Yuntian roared, "Lie Zhenbei, enough nonsense, today it's either you or me who dies."

In an instant, Lan Yuntian shouted and threw out both fists at the same time, like a soaring dragon and a rising phoenix, with a fierce and murderous wind.

Lie Zhenbei had been waiting for this moment. He shouted, swung his spear in a wide arc, and thrust the spear tip out like the rising sun, aiming straight for the bald man's heart.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the shadows of spears, light scattered and shadows blurred, the two displayed their unique skills, and the sound of spears and fists clashing resounded.

Suddenly, Lie Zhenbei took three steps back, sheathed his spear at his waist, and his previous madness vanished. He looked at the spear in his hand, then at the blue sky and clouds, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Lan, may you have a safe journey!"

Lan Tianyun laughed loudly, his laughter filled with a sense of desolation, and then the laughter ended.

He suddenly fell backward to the ground, his golden robes soaked with blood. He tried to get up by bracing himself with his hands, but he couldn't.

After convulsing for a long time, his body suddenly relaxed, and he finally died unwillingly.

When Lie Zhenbei saw that Lan Tianyun was finally dead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He staggered and swayed several times, only able to lean on his gun and pant.

"Mr. Zhenbei!"

Gu Qianlian and Gu Zixian cried out and rushed over to help him.

Lie Zhenbei gave a wry smile: "That was close! These people are really hard to deal with." He said to the two women, "If it weren't for Brother Ren using the 'Heavenly Music' method to relieve my pain, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it through!"

Gu Zixian asked, "Mr. Zhenbei, are you feeling better now?"

"it is good"

Before Lie Zhenbei could finish speaking, Shao Yang shouted, "Watch out!"

A fair, woman-like hand appeared silently behind Lie Zhenbei and struck him, seemingly appearing out of thin air, as fast as a ghost.

Lie Zhenbei didn't even look, but leaned back slightly and thrust his spear out like a poisonous dragon.

This move, "Returning Spear," is based on waist strength. Although it looks ordinary, it is incredibly fast and has a fierce and reckless spirit that disregards life and death!

The man snorted coldly, his body swaying as he transformed into a blur of light and shadow, like an invisible and intangible yellow cloud. As the spearhead swung backward, the force was dissipated.

Just as Lie Zhenbei's spear thrust was about to end, a yellow shadow flashed, and with a slight flick of his finger, his fingertip met the spear tip, producing a series of clanging sounds.

Lie Zhenbei immediately felt a chilling aura coming towards him. He was startled and knew that the newcomer's martial arts were far superior to Lan Tianyun and the others. In fact, even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for this person in just a few moves!

He immediately held the gun in one hand, touched his ear with his left hand, and casually waved it.

A series of "whooshing" sounds were heard as countless silver needles shot towards the person in front of them, one after another, forming a line.

The man sneered, then with a backhand strike, he deflected the spear, his figure flashing as he instantly cleared the path of the string of silver needles!

"Get out of the way!"

Using the momentum, Lie Zhenbei drifted backward, then used his back to forcefully knock Gu Zixian and her companion back into the main hall. Only then did he look at the man in the yellow robe and say in a deep voice, "Li Chimei?"

Feng Xinglie, Gu Qianlian, and the others were shocked, their faces changing color as they realized who this suddenly appearing enemy was.

Li Chimei stood with his hands behind his back in the courtyard, exuding an indescribable air of elegance and femininity. He narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Lie, excellent marksmanship."

"Brother Li's 'Heavenly Enchantment Yin Condensation' is truly formidable, using feints to strike at the real, breaking my spear technique with military strategy!" Lie Zhenbei said coldly, "Compared to twenty years ago, you've grown far too much." Li Chimei smiled and said, "Twenty years ago, I was no match for Xu Ruowu, but how do you see me now?"

Lie Zhenbei sneered, "You're no less than the 'Ghost King'!" He suddenly took three steps forward, each step exuding an intimidating aura. "But what are you compared to Ren Jianshen and the others?"

Li Chimei looked at the spear in his hand, then glanced at Ding An, who stood with his arms crossed not far away, and smiled coldly: "Brother Lie, Xu Ruowu is no longer the only opponent I recognize."

"Oh?" Lie Zhenbei stopped and asked, "Then who is?"

Li Chimei pointed a finger at An: "Emperor Li Dao!"

"Ha!" Lie Zhenbei laughed loudly, "You still want to compete with the Three Fiends? I wonder if you have the ability to get past this old man?"

Seeing that Lie Zhenbei wanted to use the momentum of his recent great victory to compete with him.

Li Chimei chuckled and said casually, "You've got quite the nerve. Some things are easier said than done."

"Let's fight first and then talk!"

Lie Zhenbei shouted and suddenly leaped out, his twelve-foot-long red spear flashing wildly as it pierced towards Li Chimei's face.

Li Chimei slightly shifted her body to avoid the spear's shadow, then flicked her index finger, striking the spear squarely. With a clang, blood flowed from Lie Zhenbei's tiger's mouth, and the spear nearly flew out of his hand.

This shot was originally Lie Zhenbei's signature move, but unexpectedly, it was countered by his opponent in a single move.

Without thinking twice, Lie Zhenbei raised his left hand forward.

Li Chimei, wary of the Poison Doctor's Divine Needles, retreated gracefully. Unexpectedly, he twisted his wrist, and dozens of silver needles on the ground flew up with a "whoosh," scattering and spinning in all directions like fireflies, shooting towards him.

Li Chimei, confident in the astonishing speed of her "Heavenly Demon Yin Condensation" technique and the fact that she had nearly made him vomit blood with a single palm strike, was certain that this man would retreat.

Unexpectedly, Lie Zhenbei disregarded his own safety and unleashed the divine needle.

Li Chimei frowned and said coldly, "You're courting death!" She slapped out several times, knocking down several silver needles, and picked up the last one with her hand.

Like a shadow, it pierced through in a flash!
In that instant, Li Chimei felt incredibly exhilarated, as if she were holding a needle in her hand, and only now was she truly herself!

With a long, bold yet sinister laugh, Li Chimei vanished without a trace.

The Heavenly Demon Yin Condensation is a closely guarded secret of Li Chimei's sect. Upon mastery, the body can transform into a condensation of Yin energy, embodying the Lao Tzu philosophy of "attaining utmost emptiness and maintaining steadfast stillness."

At this moment, Jingli Chimei's technique had reached such a level of etherealness that he was not attacking Wanlie Zhenbei as a person, but rather his soul.

No one could see Li Chimei's presence, yet he seemed to be everywhere.

Hongxiu said to Ren Shaoyang in a low voice with a solemn expression, "Crippled man, this androgynous martial arts has improved again!"

Ren Shaoyang nodded and said in a deep voice, "In terms of speed alone, Li Chimei is already comparable to my 'Sword Silk Crossing the Void.' But whether it's a long-distance raid or a short-distance teleportation, he can maintain this speed for a long time."

"I think he has completely integrated the fire energy from the severed hand into his body!" Hongxiu said coldly. "Now he has begun the union of yin and yang, stepping into a new level!"

Before the two could finish speaking, they suddenly heard a "ding".

But then Lie Zhenbei held his gun high, while Li Chimei, like a great eagle spreading its wings, held a needle to the tip of the gun mid-air.

Yes, it was like needle against gun, and Li Chimei supported her body with only such a tiny point of contact!

Li Ruohai's expression was solemn, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging.

Suddenly, Lie Zhenbei let out a muffled groan, staggered back more than ten steps, felt a sweet taste in his throat, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that Lie Zhenbei was out of control, he was flipped over three zhang (approximately 10 meters) before he could even stand up straight.

A soft laugh was heard: "Brother Lie, may you have a safe journey!"

These words were just spoken by Lie Zhenbei to Lan Tianyun, but now they are being delivered to him by Li Chimei.

But then Li Chimei, like a ghost or a phantom, caught up with him and flashed her silver needles a few times.

Upon hearing the sound of wind breaking, and with his mind already on guard, Lie Zhenbei immediately unleashed countless red shadows with his spear, while also retreating repeatedly.

But he still let out a scream.

He covered several acupoints, including Zhangmen and Quchi, his face pale, clearly injured by the needles.

Just then, a yellow shadow swam over, and Lie Zhenbei roared and thrust his spear straight into its throat.

But Ke Li Chi Mei suddenly disappeared into the moonlight. The next second, a needle pierced through the shadow of the gun and went straight for the heart!
At this moment, his vital organs were threatened, and he was certain to be killed!

at this time.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted: "Li Chimei! Your Grandpa Ding'an is here!"

The wind howled through the air, the firelight flickered, and a raging fire surged into the courtyard.

It's getting close.

Yet it was also the crimson shadow of a thick-backed knife.

Ding An's imposing figure appeared and disappeared in the fire, and suddenly, he and his sword, amidst the flames, floated lightly above Li Chimei's head.

The person was suspended in mid-air, and a streak of firelight, like a long ribbon or a scarlet cloak, swirled behind Ding'an.

"Drink!"

Ding An roared and plummeted to the ground. The scorching wind swept across his face, causing Lie Zhenbei to gasp for breath, but he was also blasted away by the shockwave.

boom!
A deafening roar erupted in the courtyard, splitting the stone tablet and creating a huge fan-shaped crater on the stone pavement!
