Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

The shopkeeper looked distressed and bowed repeatedly.

"Master Li... the kitchen was just too busy, with people coming and going, and I... my colleagues and I didn't pay attention at the time, we really can't remember..."

Li Fu nodded and looked at the two arguing men: "The shopkeeper can't remember, so this matter has become an unsolved mystery."

Jiao Qi hurriedly asked, "Master Li, what do you think...?"

Li Fu smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the plate of braised beef that had sparked the dispute, which was now placed on the table in front of Zhang Fengyi.

"I think this is a simple matter."

He turned to Zhang Fengyi, "Chief Zhang, have you touched this plate of meat?"

Zhang Fengyi snorted, "This dish was originally meant for him, so I had my men take it over."

I was about to enjoy it, but he kept pestering me, and I didn't even have a chance to move.

Jiao Qi was so angry that he yelled, "You're talking nonsense! You're the one who stole my vegetables and you're trying to blame me!"

Who exactly is being unreasonable and making trouble?

"That's good."

Li Fu didn't ask any more questions and gestured to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao understood, stepped forward, picked up the plate of braised beef, and placed it in front of Jiao Qi.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Li, for your kind words!"

Upon seeing this, Jiao Qi's eyes lit up, a smug look appeared on his face, and he clasped his hands in thanks.

People in the martial arts world value their reputation, especially in lawless areas like the borderlands. Their prestige is their foundation, and they cannot afford to lose it in the slightest.

By awarding this dish to him, Li Fu had done him a tremendous favor, and he had to accept it.

Zhang Fengyi's face darkened, becoming extremely ugly.

As the leader of a powerful gang, a figure of great prestige in Hangzhou, shouldn't he have some self-respect?

Li Fu's actions clearly showed his bias towards Jiao Qi, publicly humiliating him!

"Officer Li," Zhang Fengyi said curtly, his voice laced with suppressed anger, "what do you mean by this?"

Li Fu said calmly, "I'll make a decision for the shopkeeper and have him make you another plate of the finest braised beef right away, on his behalf."

The shopkeeper must be willing.

Each person gets a plate of braised beef; there's no need to argue anymore.

He looked at the fat shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll have the kitchen make it right away! I'll bring it to Chief Zhang immediately!"

A mere plate of braised beef was enough to avert disaster and he couldn't be happier.

Zhang Fengyi's expression did not improve; on the contrary, it became even more gloomy. He said coldly.

"Officer Li, this isn't just about a plate of braised beef."

"What I want isn't just a plate of braised beef."

Li Fu pretended not to understand, then suddenly smiled and asked.

"Chief Zhang, if I may be so bold as to ask, your Qinghua Gang controls the main waterways in Hangzhou. Approximately how many trips does your business, traveling north and south, make in a year?"

Zhang Fengyi, puzzled, frowned and replied, "It's at least forty or fifty trips, both by water and by land."

"How much silver is a single shipment worth?"

"The price ranges from a few hundred taels to a thousand taels, depending on the goods."

Li Fu nodded, his smile widening. He spoke to Chen Tao and the others behind him without deliberately lowering his voice, so that everyone else in the hall could hear him.

"Everyone heard that."

Zhang, the gang leader, was a major figure in the goods trade, with an extremely large business. The amount of silver he handled in a year was probably tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of taels.

Today, however, over a plate of braised beef worth twenty coins, a fight broke out in this small restaurant, and it looked like blood was about to spill... If this matter were to spread...

Chief Zhang, tell me, isn't this shameful?

These words were like a slap in the face to Zhang Fengyi.

His face instantly turned from pale to red, then from red to white, his chest heaving rapidly, and his eyes blazing with fury.

If he hadn't been wary of Li Fuwei's reputation, he would have almost lost his temper on the spot!

"Officer Li!" Zhang Fengyi gritted his teeth, speaking slowly and deliberately, his voice icy cold, "You're taking sides."

I respect you, and this matter has nothing to do with you, so please... step aside!

The smile on Li Fu's face gradually faded, and his eyes turned cold.

"It has nothing to do with me?"

Does Chief Zhang not know who is in charge of maintaining order on the streets of Yanzhou City?

They dare to gather crowds to cause trouble and threaten armed conflict in my territory.

This matter is very much related to me!

Zhang Fengyi took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and glared fiercely at Jiao Qi, saying, "Fine, fine, Officer Li, I'll give you face today!"

Jiao Qi, if you have the guts, come with me right now!

"Don't make things difficult for Officer Li here! Let's go outside the city, find a secluded spot, and have a real fight, then let fate decide our fate!"

Jiao Qi, with his fiery temper, couldn't tolerate such provocation. He slammed his hand on the table, ready to retort, "Fine, I'll go! I'm not afraid of you, you little brat..."

"snort!"

Li Fu suddenly let out a cold snort!

The sound wasn't very loud, but it was like a muffled thunderclap from a clear sky, or a heavy hammer that slammed into everyone's heart!

"Buzz—!"

Inside the hall, everyone—including Zhang Fengyi, Jiao Qi, and the two groups behind them—

Whether it was Tang Jin, Tian Laosan, the disciples of Bashan, or even the martial arts practitioners who were bold enough to stand close at the gate, everyone was shaken to their core, their blood surged, and they saw stars before their eyes!

Those with less skill almost collapsed to the ground, their legs buckling.

The cups, plates, and bowls on the table vibrated and hummed, spilling wine as they did so.

For a moment, the room fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone stared in horror at Li Fu, who was sitting upright in his chair. His face was slightly cold, and his eyes were sharp as lightning, making him impossible to look at directly.

"Chief Zhang,"

Li Fu spoke slowly, exuding immense pressure.

"You really do... not take me, a mere constable, seriously at all."

Right in front of me, you're challenging someone to a death match outside the city?

They disregarded the laws and regulations of the imperial court.

Zhang Fengyi was so shocked by that cold snort that his blood and qi became unstable, his internal energy became disordered, and he was filled with extreme fear.

He had long known that Li Fu was highly skilled in martial arts, but he never expected him to be so skilled.

With just a cold snort, his blood and qi surged!

What kind of advanced sonic power does this Constable Li possess?

Faced with Li Fu's cold gaze and questioning, Zhang Fengyi's eyes revealed deep apprehension and a hint of fear.

But his expression changed, and he still refused to back down in the slightest. He gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Officer Li, I have already backed down again and again, and promised to resolve this outside the city and not cause trouble here. What else do you want?"

Don't push your luck!

Chen Tao's palms were sweaty.

He really didn't understand why his boss was being so confrontational, clearly showing some favoritism towards Jiao Qi.

It's important to know that the worst thing you can do when trying to mediate a fight is to take sides.

On the surface, Zhang Fengyi did seem to be backing down again and again. He tolerated Li Fu's suggestion that the restaurant make another plate of braised beef, a trivial, perfunctory solution that didn't take his face seriously.

The decision to resolve the conflict outside the city instead of inside the hall was a gesture of considerable respect for Li Fu.

But Li Fu still showed no respect and even pressed him relentlessly.

Seeing Zhang Fengyi about to explode, Li Fu chuckled, which silenced the entire room.

"What if I really want to push my luck? Don't miss the exciting part: Chapter 47, Officer Li, with unparalleled superb skills (two chapters combined) Full version available, click here."

Pressed repeatedly, Zhang Fengyi's face turned ashen.

Behind him, a group of skilled members of the Qinghua Gang had their swords drawn half a foot from their sheaths, gleaming coldly, ready to fight to the death at the gang leader's command.

Seeing this, Jiao Qi was not to be outdone, and the horse traders from Guandong drew their sabers again.

The two sides were on the verge of exploding, and the atmosphere was even more dangerous than before, with the situation on the verge of breaking out at any moment.

at this time,

Ever since Li Fu entered, the lone thief Tian Laosan, who had been hiding in a corner and trying his best to keep a low profile, felt relieved when he saw the situation becoming more tense and thought he had found a good opportunity to slip away.

He felt guilty, and when Li Fu entered, he seemed to glance at him, which terrified him so much that he just wanted to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible.

Old Tian quietly got up, picked up the large dagger on the table, crouched down, and prepared to climb over the wall to leave.

He figured his movements were nimble, and with a distance of eight or nine zhang between them, and Li Fu with his back to him, facing off against Zhang Fengyi and Jiao Qi, he would certainly have no time to pay attention to him.

However, just as he was about to climb out the window to leave...

"Where do you want to go, Tian Laosan?"

A voice rang out; it was Li Fu, who had his back to him.

Tian Laosan froze, only to see Li Fu still sitting upright in his chair, facing Zhang Fengyi and the others, without even turning his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head!

His every move was kept secret.

Even before entering Juyinglou, Chen Tao had already quickly and quietly introduced the Jianghu figures he recognized inside to Li Fu.

The article specifically mentions the lone bandit, Ghost-Sorrowful Old Man Tian, ​​a notorious bandit in Jiangbei with a history of numerous bloody crimes. He is skilled in martial arts, especially lightness skills.

"not good!"

Tian Laosan moved even faster, and tried to leave through the window.

But as soon as Li Fu finished speaking, without any apparent action, he casually reached his right hand behind him, his five fingers slightly bent, and made a grasping motion in mid-air!

"Dragon-Capturing Skill!"

An invisible suction force, both overwhelming and incredibly concentrated, arrived from afar!

It was as if a giant dragon claw had precisely gripped several of Tian Laosan's vital points.

Old Tian was shocked and instinctively tried to use his internal energy to resist, swinging his sword to slash.

But as soon as he mustered his internal energy, he felt his acupoints being captured and sealed, making it difficult to circulate his true energy!

An irresistible force lifted him into the air!

"ah--!"

To everyone's horror, Tian Laosan's hundred-pound body, along with his heavy ghost-head broadsword, was as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, and he was sent flying backward without any resistance.

It flew over several tables and chairs, covered a distance of eight or nine zhang, and with a thud, landed heavily three feet away from Li Fu's feet!

A light dust rose.

Tian Laosan was thrown around so hard he was dizzy and his blood was churning; a trickle of blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He tried to struggle to get up, but his limbs were weak and sore. His acupoints had been pressed, and he could not even move a finger, let alone resist!

The greatsword he cherished as his life fell from his grasp and lay to the side.

From the moment Li Fu opened his mouth to the moment Tian Laosan was captured from a distance and thrown to his feet, it was only a fleeting moment!

The whole process was effortless, relaxed, and incredibly skillful!

The room was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop!

Everyone was stunned by this unbelievable scene.

Tang Jin, the fifth master of the Tang Clan, suddenly felt his eyelids twitch, and with a soft crack, a tiny fissure appeared in the cup in his hand.

He had roamed the martial world for decades, his skill with hidden weapons was unparalleled in western Sichuan, and he considered himself to have witnessed countless extraordinary skills and techniques.

But have you ever seen such skill, so effortless and graceful as to capture people from eight or nine feet away, as if taking something out of a bag?

This is almost like the legendary divine ability to retrieve objects from a distance and capture dragons and control cranes!

"Agile grappling, unleashing power like a god!"

This...this is terrifying skill! Even the elders in seclusion within the sect are probably...probably far inferior!

The young junior brother gaped wide-eyed, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, unable to utter a sound for a long time, completely stunned by this unimaginable scene.

Zhang Fengyi was so frightened that he suddenly stood up, his angry expression vanishing and replaced by boundless horror and shock.

Looking at Tian Laosan lying on the ground, unable to move like a dead dog.

This is Tian Laosan, known for his ruthless swordsmanship and superb agility; he is undoubtedly a top-notch master in the martial arts world!

He didn't even get a single move out of him—no, he didn't even get a finger to touch Officer Li—before he was captured from a distance like a chick, his life and death in someone else's hands!

He actually dared to think he could attack this person?

This martial arts skill... The thought of it made Zhang Fengyi's back instantly soaked with cold sweat. Looking at Li Fu, he felt as if a fierce tiger was beside him, making him uneasy.

Jiao Qi also gasped, his large palms clenching involuntarily, and he murmured.

"My dear mother... what... what kind of martial arts is this?"

Releasing someone remotely?

"Is...is this even human?"

He had traveled all over the country and met many masters, but what he saw before him completely overturned his understanding.

Li Fu slowly withdrew his hand, as if catching a tiny mosquito trying to fly away, without the slightest effort. His gaze calmly swept over the pale-faced Zhang Fengyi and the dumbfounded Jiao Qi.

"Officer Li... possesses unparalleled martial arts skills."

Mr. Zhang... has truly had his eyes opened today!

Zhang Fengyi's throat bobbed, his voice dry, devoid of any arrogance, only filled with deep shock and lingering fear.

"It is only natural that the Twelve Fierce Generals fell into your hands!"

Today... today I, Zhang, have acted rashly and offended Officer Li's authority. Please forgive me!

Let's just drop this matter!

Mr. Zhang... take his leave!

He dared not mention again that he had fought with Jiao Qi, nor did he dare to look at Li Fu even once more. He bowed deeply to Li Fu, then hurriedly turned around and shouted to his men behind him, "Go!"

The Qinghua Gang members felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They hurriedly sheathed their weapons and followed Zhang Fengyi, practically fleeing from Juying Tower.

His back looked disheveled, and there was no trace of his previous arrogance.

Li Fu didn't even look at them, but gestured to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao immediately led his men forward and sealed the acupoints. Tian Laosan, who was as thick as mud, was tied up tightly and dragged to the side like a dead dog.

Chen Tao then moved closer to Li Fu, lowering his excited voice.

"Boss, that was absolutely amazing!"

But... Zhang Fengyi, didn't he slip away way too fast?

It seems...it seems she's really terrified. Why doesn't she care about his feelings anymore?

Li Fu said calmly, "Because he has a guilty conscience. He came here on purpose to cause trouble, so naturally he feels guilty."

"Do you remember who that plate of braised beef was originally served to?"

Chen Tao was taken aback, then recalled, "It was...it was served to Jiao Qi."

However, the shopkeeper said he couldn't remember who ordered first, and that they might have brought the wrong item...

"Shopkeeper, do you really not remember?"

Li Fudao.
