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

It was the last act of kindness.

Lord Rong, you should be glad that those people didn't succeed in doing this.

Otherwise, a ruthless figure, a hundred times more terrifying than the most notorious bandit, might very well emerge in the capital.

……

Chapter 115 In the brothel

Wuyin Xuantong's gaze swept across the room, a half-smile on his face.

Clearly, they didn't believe that the top experts around Rong He could save his life.

The other party isn't taking action simply because there's no need for it.

Or rather, if you don't directly offend him, he won't bother to target you.

Not taking action doesn't mean you can't take action, nor does it mean you can't succeed.

"Mr. Xuantong, this cleaning will inevitably take some time. Do you think we should reduce the intensity?"

"No, we still need to intensify our efforts. If we don't push them to the limit, how can your Emperor rely on us wholeheartedly?"

"Those who died..."

"It is an honor for them to die for the Emperor."

A faint smile appeared on Wu Yinxuan's lips. Behind him, black mist seemed to rise, and a phantom figure appeared and disappeared, as if it were roaring ferociously.

next moment.

Ronghe's vision blurred slightly, and he realized that there was no trace of the man in black in the room.

He slowly sat down and remained silent for a long time.

……

On February , the dragon looked up.

Rainy.

That day, a light drizzle began to fall from early morning and continued incessantly.

By noon, the rain had not cleared up; in fact, it had intensified.

The sky was overcast and the view ahead was not very clear.

Li Xin wore a bamboo hat, carried a long spear, and had a long sword on his back.

His trouser legs were tied with triangular spikes, and two revolvers were tucked into his waistband.

For him, this was already being fully armed.

Three steps behind them were their elder brother Li Cheng and Zhuang Hongxiu, and even Cheng Feiyan followed.

In their words, fighting wouldn't be of much help.

But you can wait in the distance...

They can still intervene when it comes to handling the aftermath.

As for Li Garden.

I'm not worried at all.

Since the brief but intense gunfire the night before, the area around Li Garden is as clean as the Qianqing Palace in the inner city.

Not only were the city scoundrels and corrupt officials gone, but the soldiers who extorted and demanded bribes also disappeared.

Even the most ruthless and boisterous江湖人 (jianghu people) would speak softly and gently here, not daring to raise their voices.

They were terrified of being targeted by some malevolent spirit and losing their lives unknowingly.

Where is Master?

Li Xin was somewhat puzzled as to why he hadn't seen Cheng Yuanhua.

These past two nights, while he was practicing his skills inside the house, he could occasionally sense his master's figure appearing in front of and behind the house.

Sometimes I would stand at a distance and watch quietly.

Sometimes, he would go into the yard and sneak a peek at his daughter.

But whether he enters the hospital or not.

They did not reveal themselves to the others.

Li Xin simply pretended not to know.

Having lived two lives, he knows what the mindset of an elderly man is like.

I also understand just how protective they are of their own.

Master Cheng Yuanhua was like that.

Presumably, the same applies to my senior brother, Yin Changshou.

Surprisingly, Uncle Yin did not come to question him. Li Xin wondered if it was because the other party was shrewd and calculating, or because he disdained to bully the weak.

Overall, it's better not to come than to come.

He was not afraid of anyone, but he also did not want to make enemies everywhere and fight every day.

Life needs not only stormy seas, but also some romance and beauty.

Enjoying flowers and sipping tea, living a carefree and leisurely life—this was actually Li Xin's life dream.

"Father went to the palace early this morning. I heard he went to find his senior uncle to play chess."

Cheng Feiyan had lively eyes and a strange smile.

She clearly understood what playing chess was all about.

If we were to say who would pose the greatest threat in the battle at Wanhua Tower, it would undoubtedly be Grandmaster Uncle Yin Changshou.

In recent years, this man's reputation has far surpassed that of Cheng Yuanhua.

The title of "Imperial Tutor" is not just empty boasting.

If they truly disregard their status and launch a sneak attack.

Even Li Xin, who was full of confidence, could not guarantee that he could handle it.

Would Yin Changshou, who lost his apprentice and grand-apprentice, be so tasteless?

Li Xin didn't know.

But he knew that his master would not stand idly by.

By completely locking up that tiger that might escape its cage, we have cleared away the last obstacle in our path.

……

Inside the Wan Hua Lou.

Zhou Yuanqing smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.

He was broad and fat, with layers of flesh on his face that jiggled as he walked.

But judging from its footsteps, it was as light and agile as a magpie, moving silently.

He is known in the martial arts world as "Fat Dragon".

Back then, he and a group of old brothers conquered a large territory in the southern part of the city.

Furthermore, they had connections with all sides and were extremely influential.

He had a force of at least eight hundred men at his disposal.

Although it operates in the shadows, its true strength is comparable to that of a powerful local force.

Even renowned masters in the capital dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

At this moment, he smiled and bowed, saying, "Today, I must trouble all the masters and brothers to work together to kill that arrogant brat here."

If this matter succeeds, I, Zhou, am willing to give you all 30% of the future share; I hope you will not hold back.”

[Fat Dragon] Zhou Yuanqing considers himself a businessman, traveling thousands of miles just for money.

These so-called forces and brothers are just tools for acquiring wealth.

It wasn't that important to him.

However, to undermine his foundation and cut off his source of wealth, one must be an enemy who killed his father and mother.

We must crush his bones and scatter his ashes.

Under the guise of "Nezha, the Third Prince," Li Xin has not only cut off the Qing family's financial resources but has also been keeping a close eye on their operations...

His methods were ruthless and merciless, to the point that Qingzihao's business was on the verge of collapse.

This is not only a loss for the Qing brand, but also a shared loss for all the high-ranking officials and allied friends.

Therefore, the battle at Wanhua Tower was able to gather so many people.

Even the Great Snow Mountain, which rarely interfered in the martial arts world of the capital, couldn't sit still and sent Mingzi Buyun and Shura Mountain to lend a hand.

Furthermore, renowned masters such as Ma Gui, one of the three divine spearmen of the Bagua Sect in the capital, and Tianying Yulianhuan were also invited.

This is certainly not due to my own connections, but rather because of those important figures.

"It's a pity that the Tianxing and Bima brothers were assassinated by that person, which is a great loss to their loved ones and a source of joy to their enemies. Otherwise, the chances of winning this battle today would have been much greater."

Zhou Yuanqing sighed deeply, his eyes filled with sadness.

"Brother Zhou, what are you saying? We have set up such a formation, and General Abuda has also ambushed us with a large force."

Donama Shiqing is neither more nor less important.

Li Xin is just a greenhorn, barely weaned. If he comes, let Ma make the first move and claim the credit.

Ma Gui's face flushed slightly, his eyes narrowed into slits, and his expression was somewhat displeased.

He always felt that Zhou Yuanlong, the leader of the Yuanqing Society, looked down on his family.

The Three Divine Spears of Luo Tong are renowned throughout the martial world; who wouldn't be awestruck upon hearing their name?

At this point, he personally arrived at the scene, and was even besieging a junior, yet he was still worrying about this and that. It's truly laughable.

I heard that before [Fat Dragon] betrayed the Buddhist sect, he rose to power on the mountain by flattering others...

Later, when they arrived in the capital, they relied entirely on their skillful maneuvering and the help of six siblings, including Snake, Crane, Tiger, Leopard, and Two Mantises, to conquer these territories.

My own abilities are actually just average.

Given this, his lack of confidence is understandable.

……

Chapter 116 The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Water, But Where is the Dragon?

“Master Ma is absolutely right, and Master Yu as well. Today’s battle depends entirely on the two of you.”

As for Mr. Bu Yun, it would be even better if he could lend a hand.

If you're too lazy to do anything, just drink and have fun...

I wouldn't dare boast about anything else in my building, but the girls are absolutely stunning.

"No matter what happens afterward, Chairman Zhou, I want all of your newly arrived thirty-year-old girls."

Mingzi Buyun, a disciple of the Great Snow Mountain Impermanence Original Wish Master, was a handsome monk in his late twenties with powdered face.

He immediately asked for thirty of the most outstanding courtesans from the Wan Hua Lou, showing his enormous appetite.

However, Zhou Yuanqing showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

Instead, he asked with concern, "It is an honor for our Qing Company that Master Bu Yun has taken a liking to the young lady in the building."

Besides what was promised afterwards, a generous gift was also presented.

“We have heard that Venerable Shanku dislikes women and has a fondness for blood and food. Our Qing Company will do its best to satisfy him.”

Hearing this, the gaunt middle-aged man, with a somber expression and dark green pupils like will-o'-the-wisps, nodded without saying a word.
