Chapter 143 Cutting Melons and Vegetables

Li Fu and Feng Shaoting's group left the mansion.

"Officer Li, in your opinion, isn't the eunuch's reaction to this question a bit too calm?"

Logically speaking, with evidence related to his life and fortune seized, one would guess that even if my father-in-law wasn't extremely anxious, he shouldn't have been as calm and composed as we observed, showing no sign of worry whatsoever.

Feng Shaoting mounted his horse, glanced back, and gave a cold laugh, his words carrying a peculiar meaning.

"Could it be that the theft of the disaster relief funds really has nothing to do with Eunuch Yicai? Did he send out the Seven Blood Eagles because he heard rumors and sensed something was wrong, and wanted to stop Zhou Zhen and the others from framing him?"

Chen Tao asked, puzzled.

No, he was too calm.

It was precisely this calmness that betrayed him.

Logically speaking, if he hadn't done such a thing, being suddenly accused and framed in this way, involving a shocking case from last year and considered a serious crime of treason, he should have been somewhat shocked and angry, or eager to defend himself.

But he didn't.

"Before I came here, I wasn't sure if my father-in-law was involved in the disaster relief robbery back then. Maybe he had done a lot of evil things in the past, but he was innocent in this matter."

But now…”

Li Fu narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing in them.

"That letter was forged, but Zhou Zhen and others insisted that there was indeed such a letter back then, but it was destroyed by the real Situ Li."

On this point, I believe they may not be lying.

So, now that this letter has been seized and used as a weapon to bring him down, it's impossible for him to be so calm, unhurried, and even slightly smug when speaking to us.

"proud……

There are only two possibilities I can think of...

Which two?

Feng Shaoting asked.

Li Fu's gaze was serious: "Firstly, there is a traitor within the government office."

This old man is still young at heart. Even after being dismissed, he remained unruly and planted people in the government office. Perhaps he already knew that the evidence was forged when we first returned to the office to examine it.

Now that he knew it was fake, he was naturally complacent and fearless.

Moreover, he felt only disdain when he saw that we were bluffing him.

Feng Shaoting shook his head.

"That's unlikely."

I am well aware of the gravity of this matter. If it is leaked out and the evidence is found to be false, the people of the martial arts world will be outraged and believe that we are behind this, which will inevitably cause chaos.

Therefore, I have strictly ordered a news blackout and that those involved in the inspection be placed under guard. All others who know of this matter are reliable individuals, and there is absolutely no reason for them to leak it!

"Then, only the second possibility remains..."

Li Fu spoke faster.

"That means he wasn't unconcerned; he had already taken action!"

He was unaware that the evidence and witnesses were all fabricated, yet while we were at his door, he had already dispatched his trusted men, targeting—"

Feng Shaoting's expression changed, but he didn't panic. Instead, he sneered.

"The government prison."

He wants to kill them to silence them and destroy Situ Li and Xin!

"good."

Li Fudao.

"When we visited him, he took advantage of the situation and sent people to delay us."

He deliberately stalled for time, talking to us while secretly sending people to destroy evidence, and we knew nothing about it. He was naturally pleased with himself.

"But he didn't know that the evidence was all fake, and it was all for nothing." A hint of mockery appeared on Feng Shaoting's face at this moment.

"Not bad, but..."

Li Fu nodded, hesitated for a moment, then gently pressed his palms on the saddle, and his body soared into the air like a great bird.

As he landed, his toes touched the ground, and his immense inner strength erupted, causing the bluestone street to tremble slightly. He shot out like an arrow released from a bow!

With each stride, he covered six or seven zhang (approximately 33-40 meters), leaving a faint blue afterimage in the long street. His speed was even faster than that of a galloping horse!

In the blink of an eye, Li Fu disappeared from the astonished gazes of Feng Shaoting, Chen Tao, and the others, leaving only a fading blue shadow at the end of the street.

"So fast!"

Chen Tao exclaimed in surprise.

He knew that Li Fu's martial arts skills were unfathomable, but seeing him rush away with such terrifying speed right in front of him still shocked him.

The Dead Man's Sword remained silent, but the astonishing speed at which Li Fu departed sent a jolt through his usually calm heart.

He could tell that Li Fu was not known for his exquisite lightness skills, but rather for his overwhelming and almost superhuman internal strength that forced him to "run" away!

This was enough to astound countless top masters in the martial arts world who were renowned for their lightness skills.

His lightness skill was mediocre, which made his internal strength cultivation seem unfathomable, far exceeding his previous understanding of masters.

Just how deep is this person's skill?

So young, could it be that he started practicing martial arts in the womb...?

For the first time, deep within Leng Wuyan's cold eyes, he felt such intense curiosity and heart palpitations towards someone.

Feng Shaoting was also stunned by this martial arts skill. He quickly recovered and said, "Back to the government office!"

The group spurred their horses and galloped towards the government office.

Although they were speeding, under Feng Shaoting's leadership, they weren't in a particularly hurry.

Just now, he realized that letting them succeed might not be such a bad thing.

"If the 'evidence' is destroyed, then it doesn't matter whether it's true or false."

All the blame would fall on the father-in-law, and a hot potato would be gone.

Unfortunately, Li Fu didn't seem to think that way. Feng Shaoting could guess why Li Fu rushed back to the government office so quickly—he wanted to save someone…

In Yanzhou City, every step Li Fu took caused the bluestone pavement to tremble slightly, leaving shallow marks.

He moved with lightning speed, weaving through streets and alleys. Ordinary people only felt a gust of wind pass by, and in a flash, he was gone. They thought they had been haunted by evil spirits in broad daylight.

Li was rushing along when his mind raced.

Actually, he didn't need to be in such a hurry.

There was practically no evidence, and he guessed that his father-in-law's attempt to send people to destroy the evidence would be futile. But he decided to hurry back to save the people.

Although Zhou Zhen and others refused to cooperate, they got involved themselves, fabricated a huge lie, and deceived many people.

But perhaps there are extenuating circumstances, and the crime does not warrant death, especially since the government office has constables and yamen runners.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the towering walls of the prefectural government office were already in sight.

However, before they even got close, a faint, almost imperceptible, pungent smell of blood wafted through the autumn air.

The main gate of the government office was ajar, and there was no one on duty at the gate.

The sounds of shouting and screaming could be faintly heard coming from the direction of the government prison.

Li Fu felt a chill run down his spine. Without pausing, he soared into the air like a giant crane, clearing the ten-foot-high wall and landing in the front yard.

In the front yard's training ground, large patches of blue brick floor were stained red with blood.

More than ten constables and yamen runners lay dead on the ground, their deaths varied and tragic.

Some had only a tiny red mark on their throat, as thin as a needle tip, yet they were already dead.

Some had their chests and abdomens collapsed, as if they had been crushed by a tremendous force;

Others had a bluish complexion and contorted limbs, clearly indicating they had been struck by a malevolent palm strike.

Most of them had not even fully drawn their weapons, and were obviously caught off guard and instantly killed by the newcomer with superb martial arts skills!

In front of the moon gate leading to the prison, three people were attacking other constables.

Screams and angry shouts mingled together. The fourteen or fifteen people who were still standing were all injured, struggling to support themselves back to back, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

Before them stood three composed and menacing masters, who approached step by step like a cat toying with a mouse.

At that moment, a green figure flashed into the front yard like lightning. The constables saw it as if they had seen a savior.

"Li Tou, you've arrived!"

"Officer Li... Officer Li, help! Someone has broken into the government office and is trying to break us out of prison!"

They've already broken into the jail...

Li Fu swept his cold face over the three of them.

"Help has arrived? They came so quickly!"

The man in the center was eight feet tall with an unusually large frame. He wore a black outfit with a tiger-skin vest over it, making him appear exceptionally imposing.

He had a face as red as a jujube, thick eyebrows and round eyes, a full beard like steel needles, clenched fists with sharp knuckles, and a dark red complexion like iron.

This man is Liu Yue, a master of the Mountain-Shaking Fist from beyond the Great Wall.

He was born with superhuman strength and had mastered external martial arts to the highest level. His iron fists had the power to shake mountains and tremble peaks. He once killed a black bear with a single punch in Changbai Mountain. He was extremely famous in the outlaws outside the Great Wall. Later, he was recruited by a certain eunuch.

The one who just killed several people with brute force was clearly him.

At this moment, Liu Yue grinned widely, staring at Li Fu with a bloodthirsty and excited glint in his eyes.

"Hey! Grandpa just warmed up his muscles, so it's good to beat up these good-for-nothings. It's not very interesting."

"So you're the one who summoned the dragon with your palm?"

The other two.

The one on the left, with a face as pale as paper and a body as thin as a bamboo pole, wearing a gray scholar's robe, holding a fine steel judge's pen, the tip of which flickered with a cold light, was Cui Xiu, the Soul-Chasing Pen.

In his early years, this man roamed the Hebei region, renowned for his acupuncture point striking technique. He was ruthless and cunning, specializing in breaking people's meridians and vital points, and many famous masters fell victim to his skill.

He spoke in a cold tone, "I've heard so much about you, Officer Li."

On the right was a short, stout old man with a ruddy complexion, smiling and silent like a wealthy gentleman; he seemed harmless.

But his small eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his hands were faintly wreathed in bluish-black energy, clearly indicating that he was not someone to be trifled with.

He is Tian Butong, the infamous Green Fiend.

These three were all top-tier martial arts experts, just like the Seven Eagles of Blood Coagulation, whom the eunuch had previously recruited in his mansion. Their presence here together clearly indicated their intention to completely block reinforcements and buy time for their accomplices in prison.

"Take this punch from grandpa."

Liu Yue swung his fist with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and with a whoosh, he punched Li Fu in the face. The wind from the punch stirred up a cloud of dust on the ground!

Almost simultaneously, Cui Xiu's judge's pen transformed into a cold star, swiftly striking Li Fu's vitals from a tricky angle, striking at the same time.

Tian Butong then lowered his body, as if gliding along the ground, and silently struck Li Fu's chest with the Green Fiend Hand, a move specifically designed to severely injure the internal organs.

The three of them worked together, ruthless and swift.

"Get out of here!"

Li Fu's expression was cold and stern. He seemed to ignore the attack from three sides and continued his forward momentum with a light tap of his toes.

With a strike of his right palm, a move from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms shocked the entire region!

It even faintly brought forth the sounds of wind and thunder!

The palm strike was not aimed at one person, but rather covered the area where the three people were located. The overwhelming and unstoppable force erupted like a raging tide!

"boom--!"

Where the palm strike landed, the blue bricks on the ground shattered with a crackling sound, dust flew up, and fallen leaves in the courtyard were swept up and danced wildly in the air.

"boom--!"

Where the palm strike landed, the blue bricks on the ground shattered with a crackling sound, dust flew up, and fallen leaves in the courtyard were swept up and danced wildly in the air.

Liu Yue was the first to be hit, and he felt an overwhelming force crashing down on him. His powerful fist, which was strong enough to split rocks and shatter stone, crumbled like paper in the face of this palm force!

He let out a muffled groan, as if struck by a giant hammer in the chest. His tall and strong body was sent flying backward as if hit by a charging elephant, crashing into the brick wall next to the moon gate. His chest bones were completely destroyed, and blood gushed from his seven orifices. He died without even uttering a sound.

Cui Xiu and Tian Butong, who were not in front of Li Fuzheng, were also swept by the edge of this violent palm strike.

Cui Xiu felt an irresistible and terrifying surge of true energy, and the judge's pen clattered out of her hand.

The man fell backward more than ten feet like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground. His chest heaved with blood and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.

Tian Butong fared even worse. He was also at a crucial stage of channeling his internal energy when his palm strike was blasted away before it could be unleashed, and the backlash from his internal force caused him to groan.

He staggered back seven or eight steps, then fell to the ground, his arms turning bruised and black. His face turned from blue to black, then from black to white, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

The two struggled to get up and looked up to see Li Fu, his green robe fluttering, his face cold and stern, striding towards them without even glancing at the dead Liu Yue.

Cui Xiu was utterly horrified.

He had roamed the martial world for decades and encountered countless masters, but he had never seen such terrifying palm force!

The depth of Li Fu's internal strength and the power of his palm techniques are simply unbelievable. Even some of the top masters who once dominated the martial arts world might not be able to match him!

Tian Butong was terrified.

His Green Fiend Hand, which he had painstakingly honed for many years, crumbled instantly in the face of the opponent's powerful palm strike, like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun!

Just how high is this person's martial arts skill?

"escape!"

The same thought flashed through their minds at the same time.

But with his injuries severe and his breathing disordered, how could he possibly escape?

Li Fu didn't stop walking, and with two flicks of his fingers, he unleashed his finger-flicking magic.

Sizzle, sizzle!

Two invisible finger-like forces shot out from the air, as fast as lightning.

Cui Xiu and Tian Butong felt a sharp pain between their eyebrows, and then everything went black before their eyes, and their consciousness became blurred.

The two swayed and slowly collapsed, each with a bloody hole between their eyebrows; they were dead.

From Li Fu's intrusion to Liu Yue's death by his palm, Cui Xiu and Tian Butong's serious injuries, and then their deaths by his fingertips, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Without even pausing, he dispatched the three notorious enemies as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.

The surviving constables in the courtyard were stunned, almost forgetting the pain in their bodies.

Without pausing, Li Fu moved like a wisp of smoke, passing through the moon gate and arriving at the prison. The passageway reeked of blood, and the sounds of fighting within grew increasingly intense.

He pressed down harder and charged straight into the depths of the prison.

Several prison guards lay dead on the ground, their deaths bizarre, blood flowing from their seven orifices, their bodies stiff. The cell door at the far end was wide open, and sounds of fighting and roars could be heard from inside.

Li Fu strode in. The lights flickered in the passageway. Zhou Zhen, Zheng Baichuan, Zhao Gang, Qian Tong, and several others had broken free of their shackles and were fighting desperately with the enemy.

Meanwhile, in the other cell, the imposter 'Situ Li' had already died a gruesome death.

Zhou Zhen and his men were also covered in blood, and their situation was critical.

The opponent was a thin, short old man in black with deep-set eyes. His hands had hook-like fingers with sharp, black nails and dark red wrist guards.

This man was the master of the Seven Eagles of Blood Coagulation, known in the martial arts world as the Blood Claw Eagle Elder. His actions were truly evil, and his methods were cruel.

He has mastered the Blood-Coagulating Eagle Claw Technique to a high level. It is said that those struck by its claws will have their blood instantly coagulate into lumps, dying in excruciating pain. However, he has not been active in the martial arts world for many years.

Zhou Zhen and the others were clearly no match for him; they couldn't even withstand a casual move from him.

Zhao Gang's left arm was covered in bruises, and his movements were stiff; Qian Tong's clothes were torn on his chest, and the claw marks were so deep that bone was visible, and he was barely breathing.

Zhou Zhen and Zheng Baichuan struggled to hold on, but also sustained multiple injuries.

"I haven't made a move in a long time, and it's hard to find a worthy opponent in the martial world. You guys are quite good, you can even withstand one or two of my moves and survive."

Bloodclaw Eagle Elder sneered repeatedly, his claws flashing, forcing the two men to retreat steadily, seemingly on the verge of death under his claws.
