Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Whether his apprentice lives or dies is not very important to Ma Shiqing.

He is a very cold person by nature.

However, he could neither block the opponent's swordsmanship nor seal off the opponent's internal energy.

This situation is very strange.

The two men share the same teacher.

One journey takes place under the blazing sun, the other under the gloomy darkness.

Logically speaking, water overcomes fire, so he should have some advantage.

Internal energies clash, ice and fire interact.

The other party, however, did not feel any discomfort at all.

His mind went blank, and he shouted angrily, "How could you be alright? You've only been training for a short time!"

"Didn't you look down on my sect's palm techniques? You don't even recognize the Qianyang Blazing Palm?"

Li Xin chuckled and said, "If it were before, I wouldn't have been able to deal with your Extreme Cold Profound Yin Inner Strength. However, your junior uncle, whom you look down on, cultivates both extremes and combines the two techniques into one."

This is undoubtedly a groundbreaking breakthrough. Senior Brother Ma, I can also use your Xuanbing Force!

As he spoke, he slashed straight down with his sword, the blade flashing with an icy blue light, an extremely cold sword aura pressing down on people's brows.

Before the blade even reached him, Ma Shiqing's eyebrows were already covered in frost.

It was even more refined than Ma Shiqing's own internal energy.

"Yin arises from Yang?"

Ma Shiqing, being a renowned expert in gossip, quickly figured out the problem.

That was the level of skill that our grandmaster and his master had been longing to break through day and night.

Unexpectedly, it was that useless senior uncle who beat him to it.

Is there any justice in this world?

Why?

He completely abandoned any侥幸心理 (a sense of wishful thinking or侥幸心理).

This time, let's be sincere and mindful, and treat it with utmost seriousness.

It's not that I haven't considered leaving.

First, I can't bring myself to do it.

Secondly, he knew that Li Xin was agile and quick, and that he had no chance of escaping.

Even Gao Tianyun, the most skilled bandit in the capital, couldn't beat Li Xin in terms of lightness skill. So how could he possibly compete with him in agility?

Then we have no choice but to fight to the death.

"good."

Li Xin didn't say much, and swiftly slashed three times.

Cut out a zigzag shape.

As the sword moved, a great storm arose.

However, each time the blade was about to strike, the enemy dodged it with an extremely slight arc.

He knew that Ma Shiqing was responding with a sense of danger at the Transformation Realm stage.

The opponent's cultivation level was approaching that of his master, and he usually didn't even think much of his uncle Cheng Yuanhua, so he was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

His strength had long since spread throughout his body, converging into a net.

But if an attack is about to strike, they can react in time.

The speed was a little slower, but not by much.

At this moment, the only goal is to survive, not to attack. The tip of the pen moves straight and horizontally, whistling back and forth, like twinkling stars in the sky.

Every move he made targeted Li Xin's vital points.

"Junior Brother Li, it's not too late for you to retreat now. Once the Green Standard Army arrives, tonight will be your death night."

Ma Shiqing shouted angrily, but he felt extremely frustrated.

A master of the Transformation Realm was actually beaten so badly by his junior brother that he couldn't fight back and could only defend himself. He lost all face.

The key point is that this junior brother's grandfather was only thirteen years old.

He clearly hasn't reached the level of "Transformation of Strength" yet.

They weren't even very skilled at techniques for deflecting and neutralizing force.

But why is it that they can accurately sense the rise and fall of power, and strike before you can with every single blow?

This is unreasonable.

After tonight's battle, his reputation as "Crab Horse" has been completely tarnished.

With so many wives, concubines, and servants in the mansion, everyone saw his disheveled state.

No, we have to kill all of them after this kid leaves.

The thought flashed through his mind, and he saw a blade that had clearly reached its end suddenly lengthen by three inches, grazing past his shoulder.

A sharp pain shot through my left arm, and my arm flew off.

"It was just a test of your Celestial Star Calligraphy technique. You really think you can block it?"

He could hear Li Xin's cold glare.

Yes.

Li Xin only knew the Bagua Knife Technique.

He didn't even use the secret technique of "Eight-Nine Transformations, True Body of Wishes".

Aside from testing the [Qiankun Palm] once at the very beginning, the rest of the time it was simply a matter of countering each move as it came.

With a [Spirit] bonus of 27.5, even ordinary moves are mastered with exquisite skill and executed with unparalleled wonder.

The entire battle situation is within my perception.

He even mastered all sixty-four styles of Ma Shiqing's Tianxing brushwork in a short period of time.

Hearing that Ma Shiqing was about to die, he still dared to threaten him.

They immediately decided to let this Senior Brother Ma see what the Heavenly War God really looked like.

"Take three more of my blows, and I'll spare your life."

Senior Brother Ma, you absolutely mustn't let me down.

Li Xin sheathed his sword and stepped back, taking a deep breath.

The figure moved as if disappearing into thin air.

Only a single blade of light slashed down with a thunderous roar.

Ma Shiqing shouted loudly.

The long stroke makes a left dot and a right cut, preparing to use force to neutralize force.

Suddenly, he noticed that the blade of light had slowed down for a second.

His judge's pen changed its moves twice, both of which resulted in empty air.

As he thought to himself that something was wrong, the gleaming longsword suddenly accelerated, so fast that his eyes couldn't even react.

chi...

A cool sensation on my neck.

The blade flashed past.

With a clang, the sword was sheathed.

Li Xin's figure reappeared before them, a face with three eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, as if he were sneering.

"you……"

If you have this kind of swordsmanship, you should use it sooner rather than later.

The subtle shifts in speed and deliberation revealed his mastery of human nature. His changes were so nuanced that he couldn't even withstand a single strike.

In that brief moment, he didn't even catch a glimpse of Li Xin.

It can only be said that, in terms of skill, he was miles behind his opponent.

With his carotid artery severed, Ma Shiqing reached out and tightly covered his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out faster and faster.

Everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The last thing I heard was:

"Senior Brother Ma, I'll gladly accept your vast fortune. Hongxiu, make your move."

And now, the cloth bag can be used.

Chapter 114 The Ferocious God

"How could there be such lawless people in the capital, the most virtuous and prosperous place?"

When Wu Qianjin heard the news of her senior brother Ma Shiqing's death, she couldn't believe her ears.

Immediately following was a burst of fury.

His father died in battle, and as a young boy, his uncle seized the family property, nearly killing him.

It was his senior brother who rescued him from his suffering and recommended him to become a disciple of Master Changshou.

In his heart, Ma Shiqing was truly a benefactor, someone to whom he felt deep gratitude and loyalty.

Over the years, most of his martial arts skills were passed down from his senior brother.

Even the position of brigade commander in the Green Camp has benefited greatly from this.

He believes that without Ma Shiqing, he would not be where he is today.

"You mean, Senior Brother Ma and his nine disciples were all killed?"

Even his only two sons had been killed, and his entire fortune had been looted?

"Yes, that masked man has three eyes, and he seems to be Erlang Shen from the storybook."

His swordsmanship was also fierce and ruthless. The guards within the manor could hardly withstand the power of a single strike from him.

The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror.

If he hadn't been quick to react and crawled out of the Ma family's courtyard through the dog hole early on, he would probably be beheaded like those guards.

What disheartened the housekeeper the most was...

The masked man's extreme bloodlust was one thing, but what was most chilling was his ability to distinguish between those loyal to the Ma family and those who were disloyal.

None of those who were not valued in ordinary times were killed.

The maids and servants even received some money and were dismissed without being made difficult.

However, all those who were related to the Ma family and were loyal to the head of the family died.

"I'm afraid there's been a traitor in the family all along, and now that they've got the chance, they're going to settle scores with him."

The idea seemed absurd, but after much thought, it was the only way to explain the masked man's actions.

When Wu Qianjin asked him about what had happened an hour earlier, he told her everything in detail.

"Such a ridiculous reason, just because you broke the legs of his two orphans, you wiped out my senior brother's entire family?"

Wu Qianjin, a brigade commander in the Green Standard Army, looked extremely grief-stricken and asked again in disbelief, "Are you sure that person is really Li Xin?"

"My lord, in the capital now, anyone with even a little bit of inside information knows that Li Xin is ruthless and vicious."
