Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike

Chapter 118 Eagle Soars Through the Sky

"Brother Li, you've come to the wrong person by opposing my Qing Company."

[Fat Dragon] Zhou Yuanqing, at this moment, sweat reflected the oil on his face, and flowed down from his forehead and cheeks.

His face was full of fear as he retreated while pleading.

"You probably know about these days."

My Qing brand alone could never gather so many experts.

In fact, with businesses like fortune-telling, gambling dens, and entertainment venues, I really don't want to do anything like kidnapping people, as it would be against my moral character.

How about this, I will hand over the complete list of the people behind the scenes over the years.

Furthermore, 100,000 taels of silver were presented.

"Of course, all those poor souls under the control of the Qing family should also be released. What do you think?"

"Oh, you're actually willing to part with it?"

Li Xin chuckled upon hearing this.

[Fat Dragon] is behaving like a fat pig these days. He seems very sincere, and his words come from the bottom of his heart, but he doesn't believe a word of it.

If he were truly so cowardly, how could he possibly occupy such a large area of ​​territory in the southern part of the city, standing out among underground gangs like a little local tyrant?

With 800 men under his command, what a massive number!

How much wealth can one accumulate when engaging in such despicable acts that lead to the extinction of one's lineage?

How could someone like that not have competitors?

Why has he been able to live a long and healthy life?

Even if external forces couldn't take him down, why didn't they take him down when they attacked each other?

Li Xin had witnessed this before.

There are a total of six stalls in the Qing brand, five of which are located here.

They were all highly skilled and fearless in the face of death.

Even in the world of outlaws, he would be considered one of the strongest.

Even the most skilled fighters couldn't defeat them.

But it was precisely this group of extremely difficult experts who were utterly loyal to Zhou Yuanqing, this old fat man.

If you say this person is incompetent, can you justify it?

Seeing that Li Xin remained unmoved by words and stepped forward, his spear dripping blood.

Zhou Yuanqing lowered his brows slightly, sweat pouring down his cheeks, but a cold glint flashed deep in his eyes.

With a "thud," he knelt on the floor, his hands on the ground, and kowtowed.

"I beg Brother Li to have a compassionate heart and give this old man a chance, and also give those poor people who have been kidnapped a chance—"

"Huh, does that mean you hid them?"

"Yes, that place is right there—"

Zhou Yuanqing's face lit up with joy, as if he could sense the relaxation in Li Xin's tone.

Raise your hand in a gesture of respect.

A loud, booming sound came from both sleeves.

The short, black spikes shot out with a whooshing sound.

At the same time, his kneeling legs bounced slightly, and his body leaped forward like a toad.

"collapse----"

It rose up and came crashing down like a cannonball.

At the very front is his head.

"I've been on guard against you for a while now."

Li Xin sneered.

Standing motionless with his feet neither shoulder to shoulder, his body was like a tree felled by a sharp axe, bending backward at a ninety-degree angle from the waist and hips.

Two points of black light whizzed past his clothes.

The body leans to the left, and the right leg reverses and kicks backward.

It landed heavily on Zhou Yuanqing's head.

"Buzz!"

It struck like a giant log striking a bell.

Zhou Yuanqing's hat, once worn by a wealthy man, was shaken so badly that pieces of cloth flew everywhere, revealing his bald head.

Although Li Xin's kick was powerful and resounding, it only caused a faint golden light to flash on his forehead, his head to be held high, and blood to seep from his forehead.

At the same time, a golden glow emanated from her skin.

Zhou Yuanqing grinned maliciously. His arms were as thick as elephant legs, and his large body was as soft as noodles.

A pair of palms gleamed with a metallic sheen, then flipped and slapped down.

[Iron Oxen Plowing the Field]

Iron Head Kung Fu, Golden Bell Cover, Vajra Palm.

Li Xin felt a fierce wind approaching as his body was parallel to the ground.

The right foot kicked the opponent's head, and it felt like kicking a steel wall, with a faint but powerful recoil force.

Then, seeing the golden-bronze emanating from Zhou Yuanqing's palms, they crashed down like giant hammers.

I knew this guy was hiding some amazing skills.

No wonder he was able to build such a large empire in the capital, a city full of hidden talents, and despite committing countless evil deeds, no one came to his aid.

It wasn't because of good luck.

Rather, he's really tough.

With his exceptional martial arts skills, he is truly confident in his ability to defend himself and save his life in any situation, whether it's a direct confrontation or a head-on fight.

Li Xin touched the ground with one foot, his body, parallel to the ground, seemed to be blown away by the wind, drifting backward in an eerie manner.

Having withdrawn from the range of the two palm strikes, his body had already straightened from horizontal to vertical, rising into the air—

He spun around and danced rapidly.

The long sword behind him was drawn, gripped in a reverse hand, and the [Thunder Slash] was already slashing diagonally from the upper right to the lower left.

The blade moved with the force of thunder.

The deafening roar of the explosions was deafening.

As Zhou Yuanqing's palms landed, creating two large holes in the ground, he looked up in shock, but it was too late to stop.

This time, he was truly horrified.

He never expected that he would end up kneeling and kowtowing.

Moreover, he used his hidden crossbow, iron head technique, and golden bell cover to expose all his vital points.

It didn't even make the other party lower their guard in the slightest.

Not only were their movements when dodging hidden weapons so smooth that it seemed like a pre-rehearsed routine.

Using the momentum to fly backward is even faster than rushing forward on your own.

How can we fight like this?

A hint of despair flashed in his eyes, and he could only slightly lower his head, his body radiating golden light.

The Horizontal Chain Golden Bell Cover has already been transported to its limit.

laugh----

With a single slash, the golden light trembled wildly.

But then Li Xin's blade flashed past.

Like waves parting and drifting on water, a gash appeared on Zhou Yuanqing's neck.

A flash of blood appeared, and the fat, bald man was already flying off his neck.

"What were you thinking? You knew perfectly well that I had obtained a legendary sword of the 'Xin Ting Hou' caliber from the Japanese devils, yet you still dared to use your neck to withstand the sharpness of my blade?"

I don't know whether to call you smart or stupid.

After Li Xin finished wielding his sword, he did not sheath it. He watched as the round, fat head landed and remained motionless before slowly turning around.

He looked at Jade Link, the Eagle, who had been shot in the chest, his twin rings falling to the ground, lying in a pool of blood.

This person is also a renowned figure in Beijing.

However, when he fought before, he did not perform nearly as powerfully as his reputation suggests.

Master Ma Gui, in the end, was killed by a miscalculation when it came to a gunfight—a clash of strength against strength.

This guy rushed up and immediately collapsed.

His performance wasn't much better than the other members of the Qing-branded stalls.

The key point is, if you're using "Sky Eagle" as your code name, then go ahead and fly!

The double-linked rings were not only his weapon, but also a part of his cunning.

Li Xin understood this simply by looking at the thick black aura emanating from the other person's forehead.

Therefore, he never even considered getting close.

With a kick, the coiled dragon silver spear, which was stuck upside down in the ground, shot out with a whoosh.

Sure enough, the silver spear moved.

Yu Lianhuan, who was half-lying on the chair, suddenly took flight like a great eagle with a flick of his arms.

I had just leaped up, ready to pass through the window.

The silver spear had already pierced his heart, pinning him to the wall.

How did you know I was using the escape route?

Yu Lianhuan didn't ask why Li Xin knew he was faking his death.

True masters are extremely perceptive of crises.

Those with stronger mental fortitude can even sense the malice lurking in the enemy's heart in advance.

Perhaps I wasn't careful enough in controlling my mind, and unintentionally revealed a trace of murderous intent that was sensed.

That's why they saw through their own disguise.

But what he just couldn't understand was...

How could the opponent accurately predict the route that I would take to retreat diagonally when I sensed the danger?

His nickname, "Sky Eagle," not only refers to his exceptional Eagle Claw Kung Fu, but also serves as the highest praise for his agile and nimble movements.

Its instantaneous explosive power is as fast as an eagle striking the sky, appearing and disappearing in an instant.

Even if Li Xin's lightness technique is better than his own, he might not be able to catch up with him over short distances.

However, the other party didn't need to chase at all.

Every single move was meticulously calculated.

Act early.

The spear seemed to be waiting by the window.

His own soaring and shifting form crashed straight into the tip of the spear.

Clinging to his last breath, Yu Lianhuan was unwilling to give up; he couldn't understand it.

"How dare a mayfly at the bottom of a well look up at the blue sky?"

Li Xin was too lazy to explain; his [Void Reflection] naturally allowed him to see some small details that were invisible to the naked eye.

For example, the other person is lying on the ground, their heart rate is wrong, and the angle at which their right hand is pressing on the table leg is also wrong.

Even the direction in which the muscles and bones exert force is incorrect.

Taking everything into account, there is only one direction he can take, which is the best way to exert his strength and also the fastest way to escape.

You can see all of this without even turning around.

Just like now.

He then discovered that in the backyard and in the private rooms on both sides of the first floor—

The servants and maids who were hiding, as well as the young girls in the building, all turned pale.

They've obviously discovered something.

Even from the [Void Reflection] mental perspective, one can see the tiny sparks dancing in the eyes of these people.

"fire?"

"So, the Azure Dragon Emerging from Water Formation is here?"

The doubts in Li Xin's mind were immediately resolved.

Inside the building was a fierce battle of wits and skill, a life-or-death struggle. It would be even better if they could successfully surround and kill him.

But if these people can't stop themselves, they will all die or be injured.

The opponent has only one last move left.

Both jade and stone were destroyed.

These days, starting a fire is called "fire."

It's so confusing that people can't tell the difference.

A thought flashed through my mind.

Without further hesitation, he did not jump out of the window.

The area containing several windows and portals is definitely under close surveillance; it's somewhat dangerous.

He sheathed his sword and drew his gun.

With a leap, he stomped against the wall, his spear vibrating and spinning as if piercing through with a drill.

The gunfire roared.

It blasted through the roof of two floors of the Wanhua Building.

Passing through the tiled roof beams, one can leap high into the air in a single step.

In the misty drizzle, what came into view were two long black dragons, separated by two streets in the distance.

They dashed to the left and then to the right, swiftly following each other head to tail.

Perfectly, they completely surrounded the area where the Wan Hua Lou was located.

Judging from their appearance, there must be at least a thousand people.

The dense bursts of fire shooting in from the north and south were, of course, burning rockets that had been launched into the air, along with some oil canisters and bottles.

Just one breath.

The entire sky was filled with twinkling flames from all directions.

"What a grand display? What a ruthless scheme."

Li Xin sneered, stepped onto the roof tiles and dashed eastward, soaring like an eagle swooping through the sky, as fast as lightning.

Just before the arrow fell.

With a light swing of his spear, he had already destroyed dozens of rockets.

Break through the encirclement —

Looking back.

I could still hear sharp cries in my ears.

That was in the Wan Hua Lou (a brothel), where a couple hundred servants and girls were wailing in their dying moments.

The drizzle couldn't stop the raging flames, especially with the added fuel of kerosene.

If they keep shooting like that, sooner or later they'll burn this magnificent building to ashes.

The sound of arrows striking the wooden building was called "thud, thud, thud."

Snap snap snap ————

White smoke rose from all sides.

This is the Shenji Battalion's muskets beginning to fire.

Bullets rained down on the windows.

This is to prevent himself from escaping through the window.

Unfortunately, those soldiers never expected this.

They had already escaped from the roof when they launched the attack.

The so-called encirclement is a joke in the face of advance warning and absolute speed.
