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

Otherwise, given that kid's ferocity, it wouldn't be easy to drive him away.

While thinking this, he used a psychological tactic.

"Li Xin, if we continue this pursuit, your garden might be raided."

If I'm not mistaken, the troops from the Northern Army and the Southern Camp have already targeted your family.

"Are there really such reckless people in this world?"

Li Xin coldly replied:

"I don't go on a killing spree simply because there's no need for it."

If anyone thinks they can use my family to blackmail me, they are mistaken.

Jin Zhong, you'd better not run away. At least you can save some dignity.

Today you've schemed against me, and I won't concern myself with what your true intentions are... But whatever you do, you must consider the consequences.

You're dead...

The clear, melodious voice rang out, drawing the attention of passersby and chilling the Golden Bell Monk to the bone.

He simply stopped talking and spared no effort, frantically burning his dragon energy to protect his entire body.

We headed straight for Wanfu Wanshou Garden.

……

Infantry Headquarters, Northern Office...

Left-wing General Sadolo sat high in the main hall, his face cold and solemn.

"Is that really the case? Is that Golden Bell Monk so useless?"

"It's not that he's useless. Although he's been chased and fleeing all the way, he's still managed to save his life from Li Xin's blade."

As long as we escape to the palace, everything will be fine.

Assistant Director Shen Tong lowered his head and smiled, "According to the news from our spies, none of Yin Changshou's disciples lasted even a stick of incense."

The second disciple, Tang Siwu, the third disciple, Zhao Yuguang, and the sixth disciple, Wu Di, all died on the spot.

Then there's Zheng Shanhe, the master of the Tongbei White Ape Fist. Before he made his move, he was arrogant and boastful.

As a result, he was beaten to death by Li Xin in just a few rounds, which is truly laughable.

General, you see, we belong to the Fifth Army Headquarters, and we don't have much of a connection with that snowy mountain...

Let them try to steal whatever precious scriptures they want. Why get involved yourself and get yourself covered in mud?

"You don't understand, this isn't a matter for the monks in the Great Snow Mountain, it's a matter for those above."

If that person thinks we haven't done our job well, then the more glorious and honored we are now, the more miserable and destitute we will become in the future.

When it comes to matters of prolonging life and achieving immortality, even the slightest hint must be firmly grasped.

Even if we do our part, it's better than having to flatter someone in the future and have no one care.

"Lord Dorok is truly brilliant."

Shen Tong slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "I used to think that General Abuda, the Right Wing Commander, was really so devoted to his brother and wanted to avenge his senior brother."

So that's what they were planning..."

"Hmph, Abda is a fool too. Although he is good at leading troops, he only knows how to fight recklessly."

The army was mobilized just to besiege a martial arts figure; it's amazing he even came up with that idea.

If the other party just packs up and runs away, wouldn't he be restless day and night?

The best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting; the key is to win their hearts and minds...

Even if Li Xin possessed extraordinary abilities, his weakness lay in bringing his family to the capital.

He can't just abandon his family, can he?

I want to see if he'll kneel or not when his family is brought here.

Sadoro shook his head slightly. Although Abda was already dead, he still looked down on him somewhat.

The other party was really stupid.

Why confront them head-on? A few simple tactics will suffice to subdue them.

"Has Sturlin of the Southern Camp already made his move?"

"Just as Li Xin headed to the Tongbi White Ape Martial Arts School, he had already laid a trap. He must have already reaped the rewards."

At that time, we will have complete control, and any scriptures will be within our grasp.

"If we capture this person again, we can decide whether to kill or imprison him as we see fit; it'll also do the Great Snow Mountain a favor."

Shen Tong wholeheartedly agreed with Sadolo's approach.

He also felt that those peasants valued family ties the most.

Once you grasp their weaknesses, you can manipulate them however you want.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, it will be difficult for them to use their abilities.

This tactic has been used to manipulate countless heroes and villains.

It works every time.

Sadoro chuckled and said, "Talent is hard to come by... Although Li Xin is arrogant and fierce, he is a rare and excellent man."

If you really want to tame it, you can take it in and make it a good dog, letting it bite whoever it wants. That would be quite nice.

"Your Excellency is wise."

Shen Tongxin was completely convinced.

……

Shi Dulin, the military commander of the Southern Camp, sat high on a white horse, accompanied by fifty constables.

Behind him followed Guerrilla General Zeng Changxing and Commander Wang Zhaohe.

There were seven or eight captains and lieutenants guarding the left and right, each of them brave and fierce, wearing armor and carrying a gun.

I saw a young man and a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old carrying medicine baskets as they walked out of Huichuntang.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

He gave the order:

"Take it."

As the sound faded, more than ten armored soldiers swarmed forward, surrounding the two men and brandishing their swords and spears.

Li Cheng looked up and was stunned.

He stepped in front of Li Xiaowan.

"Sir, let's talk this out. Have you come to the wrong person?"

"You are Li Cheng, and behind you is Li Xiaowan."

If anyone's to blame, it's your brother Li Xin for not thinking about the consequences of his actions.

If you cooperate obediently, you'll be tying your own hands and feet.

If you resist, I will have to pierce your collarbones, cut off your hands and feet, and take you back.”

Guerrilla General Zeng Changxing had a sinister face.

He had just taken office and shared the same thoughts as Shi Dulin, the military commander of the Southern Camp.

Whether he can hold onto this position depends on his own performance.

There must be no mistakes on this mission.

Logically, their best course of action would have been to lead troops to Li Garden and wipe out Li Xin's entire family.

But after thinking about it, I gave up.

Master Cheng Yuanhua, a master of Bagua (Chinese astrology), has been loitering around the area recently.

No one knows when, but he went into Li Garden to drink tea.

If that old man stops them, there will likely be another big battle when Li Xin returns.

Why bother?

Even if they manage to capture these people, their own men will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

It would be better to wait outside and wait for Li Yuan and his men to come out to do their business; then it would be much easier to handle them.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

Li Cheng accompanied Li Xiaowan out to buy medicine.

I wonder how many medicinal herbs they need?

They searched far and wide for precious medicines, sparing no expense... In the southern part of the city, they had almost bought up all the good medicines.

Zeng Changxing didn't care much about medicinal herbs.

All he cared about were the hostages.

With a lunge forward, Zeng Changxing swung his thigh and swept his foot across Li Cheng's knee.

click...

Li Cheng's left leg was broken at the knee, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but he ultimately did not retaliate: "Don't fight back. As long as Xiaowan is not hurt, I will go with you."

"Take them all down. This kid has some serious kicking skills, he's got a pretty good foundation. Break one of his legs and tie him up."

Zeng Changxing shouted sharply.

Then someone stepped forward with an iron chain.

They tied up Li Cheng and Li Xiaowan and threw them onto a horse.

The thunderous sound of hooves echoed as a group of people hurried in and then hurried away.

……

Chapter 137 The Chase

"It's terrible, sir! Cheng-ge'er and Xiao-wan have been arrested by the soldiers."

The pharmacy clerk finally came to his senses, forced himself to stand up, and rushed toward the entrance of Huichuntang.

After entering the room, he said with a deathly pale face.

"what?"

Yang Shoucheng's expression changed drastically.

"Come with me quickly... Never mind, the soldiers are prepared, there's no way to reason with them."

We need to inform Li Xin about this immediately and close the shop first..."

Yang Shoucheng had also heard some of the things that had happened these days.

They found it especially incredible that Li Xin had accomplished such great things.

He wasn't without worry and fear in his heart.

But thinking that he was just running a pharmacy and treating patients, he was sure he wouldn't be implicated, so he felt relieved.

Thinking to himself, he figured that none of Li Xin's rivals would dare to lay a hand on his family before dealing with Li Xin himself.

First, this approach is basically useless.

Secondly, it's because of Li Xin's personality...

Even he, as an observer and doctor, could see it all clearly.

As an adversary, this person is practically a jinx descended from heaven; if you don't provoke him, you might still have a chance to survive.

If you provoke him.
