Wuxia: Start with max-level Nine Yang Divine Skill

The descendants of the Bone-Scraping Evil Blade are like an invisible shadow, watching them from the shadows; it could be anyone.

He was like a deadly ghost; no matter how skilled one was in martial arts, it seemed impossible to defend against him.

But Li Fu felt little fear.

The miraculous effects brought about by mastering the Nine Yang Divine Skill gave him complete confidence.

"Internal energy is inexhaustible, making one impervious to all poisons. Most importantly, true energy circulates throughout the body, automatically protecting it in times of danger!"

Sneak attacks, deadly poisons, and sleeping pills. Countless heroes of the martial world have fallen victim to these two moves, but he has nothing to fear.

After Han Wenyuan established the rule that they should travel in pairs and never be alone, and Li Fu added that the companions should also be wary, the second day passed peacefully.

On the third day, there were no disturbances and no one was harmed.

During this time, everyone did their best to investigate, but the murderer was as cunning as a fox, leaving no trace.

Despite feeling helpless and unwilling, it seems that the only option left is to wait for the culprit to make a move and reveal a weakness.

Night, the third night!

The last night!

The main hall of the Mu family was brightly lit, reflecting the solemn faces of everyone present.

Constables and servants patrolled the mansion closely, and torches illuminated the courtyard as bright as day.

The night was as dark as ink, and time passed slowly.

Master Mu, holding a gleaming longsword, gazed anxiously at the dark night outside the door, his eyes blazing with fury: "That scoundrel! Is he scared? Doesn't dare to come back?!"

Grandpa Mu looked distressed and sighed, "For a whole day and night, you and I have had someone by our side every step of the way, whether we're eating, drinking, or relieving ourselves. The descendants of the Evil Blade can't find an opportunity to strike."

I reckon that even though his martial arts are strong, he wouldn't be able to kill us all at once... I'm afraid we won't have a chance."

His tone was complex, both hoping the murderer would appear to avenge his brother and worrying that the killer would disappear without a trace.

Han Wenyuan, his iron ruler gleaming coldly at his waist, sat upright in his chair and spoke in a deep voice.

"Do not let your guard down!"

The descendants of the Evil Blade have not made a move for more than a day, which may not be out of fear, but perhaps as a strategy to wear down the enemy!

We have been on tenterhooks for days, our minds tense, not daring to relax for a moment, which has been exhausting.

As dawn approaches, when people are most likely to be complacent, it may be the perfect opportunity for the killer to strike!

Especially now, we need to be extra vigilant!

The group looked at each other and saw the weariness and exhaustion on each other's faces.

There was one exception: Li Fu, still full of energy, led his men to patrol the courtyard in front of the hall, his sharp eyes scanning for any movement on the high walls and eaves.

Torches flickered in the courtyard, illuminating the area as bright as day, leaving no gap for darkness.

Although everyone was surprised by his energy, they only thought that he was young and not the main target of the murderer, so the pressure was naturally less.

Zhang Yuan quietly approached Li Fu and muttered to himself.

"Brother Fu, you see, Lord Han is meticulous and experienced. In comparison, that famous constable Duan seems inadequate and unworthy of his reputation."

Li Fu's gaze swept over Duan Gang, who was sitting upright in the hall, and he said, "The world of martial arts is in turmoil, with powerful outlaws rising up and aristocratic families standing in great numbers."

To be a renowned constable, one doesn't necessarily need exceptional keen observation skills.

"As long as his martial arts skills are high enough, he can catch the criminals that others can't, and defeat the villains that others can't beat. He can solve a few sensational cases and capture and kill criminals of sufficient importance, and his reputation will naturally come."

"Brother Fu is highly skilled in martial arts and has a sharp mind. He will surely become a world-renowned divine constable in the future!" Zhang Yuan sincerely praised.

Li Fu shook his head slightly, showing no smugness: "Let's get through tonight first."

"Brother Fu, who do you think the murderer is, and when will they arrive?"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but ask more questions out of curiosity.

Li Fu did not answer, his gaze once again subtly sweeping over Duan Gang in the hall.

To be honest, he actually hoped that Duan Gang was the murderer, so that he could take this opportunity to capture and kill him.

However, in terms of clues, pointing the finger at Duan Gang is too far-fetched and lacks any evidence.

Li Fu also knew that he did not have any extraordinary talent in solving cases, only being a little more perceptive than the average person.

The methods of tracking, surveillance, and searching for people that were essential for survival in my previous life are mostly no longer applicable in this world.

I don't know.

But it doesn't matter. Everyone's gathered here now; the killer will make his move sooner or later. Then we'll see.

Li Fu said calmly.

At this moment, Han Wenyuan inside the hall called out to the outside: "Brother Li Fu, you must be tired from guarding outside. Come in and rest for a while."

If the attackers come, you are a top-tier fighter; you need to be well-rested.

Grandpa Mu watched Li Fu walk in with a spirited air and was filled with emotion.

"Alas, a doting mother often spoils her son, and it is difficult for a wealthy family to produce outstanding individuals."

My four brothers, the Mu family, were renowned throughout the martial arts world, yet none of the next generation has amounted to anything.

If my Mu family had someone like you, young brother, we could rest in peace even in the afterlife.

"You flatter me, Elder Hero."

Li Fugang had just taken his seat.

Duan Gang suddenly stood up.

"What is it?" Han Wenyuan asked coldly, his tone naturally unpleasant, given their long-standing feud.

"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes," Duan Gang replied with a cold snort.

"Don't be alone!"

Han Wenyuan emphasized.

Master Mu stood up in response, his hand gripping his sword warily, and said, "I will accompany Brother Duan."

The two figures disappeared into the night outside the courtyard.

The gravel path leading to the latrine was cut off by the high walls, casting deep shadows in the moonlight.

Duan Gang suddenly stopped and turned around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Third Master Mu, to be honest, I have a suspicion in my mind about the murderer... I'm afraid you won't believe me if I tell you."

"The murderer?!" Mentioning the killer of his two brothers, Third Master Mu's eyes flashed with hatred. "Who is it? Tell me!"

"We all believe the killer is a descendant of the Evil Blade, but... could it be... there's more than one person?" Duan Gang uttered a startling statement.

Master Mu's body trembled slightly, as if a previously overlooked point had been pointed out: "That makes sense! Who exactly does Brother Duan suspect?"

"Don't you think it's strange... that constable Li Fu, who is just a lowly constable, has such uncanny martial arts skills at such a young age?"

Duan Gang lowered his voice even further.

"I had someone investigate. He moved here a few years ago with a so-called uncle. Their past is completely blank, as if they appeared out of thin air."

"This..." Third Master Mu frowned.

"To be honest, my elder brother and I have noticed this young man's promising future these past few days and wanted to befriend him. We even sent someone to inquire about his background and interests, but the investigation into his origins will take some time."

But...his martial arts skills...it's said he's never displayed such profound skill before."

This is indeed very strange. Why would the other party hide their martial arts skills? Why are they acting so discreetly?

"There's one more person..."

Duan Gang continued, his voice icy.

"Who?"

"Han Wenyuan!" Duan Gang dropped an even more shocking statement, "Didn't you notice how overly close he was to Li Fu? How he promoted him at every turn?"

This made him practically one of the key figures in the case.

I think they have a very close relationship; they're either uncle and nephew, or brothers!

"What's even more suspicious is that when Master Mu was murdered, Han Wenyuan had not yet entered the mansion, giving him ample time."

When Master Mu was murdered, he claimed to be the first to arrive, but who saw him?

Maybe he killed someone and then pretended to have just arrived!

And he was the first to arrive after witnessing the servant's murder. I think he was the one who did it. He deliberately made a scene and pretended to be late to cover his tracks!

As for body shape and such, those can all be disguised.
