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

The butt of the gun suddenly sprang up, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, hiss...

It had already pierced through his abdomen.

The gun was so fast that it left only a blur.

The flow is so chaotic and confusing that it's impossible to see clearly.

Before Yuan Han could even close his twin blades, Li Xin's spear tip had already vibrated and lifted up.

They lifted his body into the air.

whoosh...

Li Xin took a leap and charged forward.

A flash of cold light streaked past.

Before Yuan Han's excruciating pain could subside, and while his hands were still numb and stiff, a spear pierced his throat.

"Connected from head to tail, dependent on each other, linked left and right, and perfectly aligned up and down..."

What a beautiful Bagua Zhan Shen spear! It attacks from all four directions, just like a hedgehog.

Master Cheng, you've really taken on a good apprentice..."

Wang Zhengyi was so envious that his mouth was practically watering.

However, this is someone else's apprentice; you absolutely cannot and will not be able to take him away.

Besides, you didn't respect them when they were weak.

Nowadays, if I were to take someone in as a disciple again, I wouldn't know what I could teach them.

Not to mention teaching him swordsmanship, Wang Zhengyi even wanted to ask him how to use weapons.

He discovered that Li Xin seemed to have planned everything perfectly from beginning to end when he made his move.

Calculate others and yourself, calculate everything under heaven.

Whether it was Zhuoertai or Yuanhan.

Their fate was sealed the moment they appeared.

Every attack was within Li Xin's calculations, without exception.

It looks dangerous, but it's not dangerous at all.

Wang Zhengyi finally understood that Li Xin hadn't used his trump card yet.

Using only their normal combat strength, they easily killed two of the court's fiercest generals without causing the slightest ripple.

"The student surpasses the master... I am very happy to have such a disciple."

Cheng Yuanhua pretended not to notice the sourness in Wang Zhengyi's tone and smiled so much that his eyebrows relaxed.

I felt that there was no greater joy in my life than this.

To be honest, given Li Xin's current abilities, there's not much credit to be given to him personally.

But no matter how little merit one has, a title or recognition is still indispensable.

Everyone knows that this "Third Prince Nezha" is his disciple.

They practice Baguazhang style boxing techniques.

We can't deny that, can we?

Given time, once the news spreads, no one will object if I claim Baguaquan as the number one boxing style in the world.

Before he knew it, Cheng Yuanhua had put his hands on his hips.

Standing still, he surveyed the surroundings with disdain, looking around at the heroes.

It's laughable to look at.

……

"Rongsheng, what do you have to say?"

Li Xin stood before the Ministry of War, spear in hand, exuding the imposing aura of having slain two generals.

Given his personality, he originally intended to charge straight in and wipe out the Ministry of War.

All these civil and military officials were wiped out.

It's absolutely not right to wrong an innocent person.

To have a country reduced to this state is a disgrace and a loss of national honor...

Who among them didn't deserve to die?

But then again, at this juncture, it's really not a good idea to kill all the officials in the Ministry of War.

There must be a few people left to communicate with those above and below.

Otherwise, if chaos breaks out, the imperial court won't even be able to mobilize a single army.

With the hubs severed, communication between upstream and downstream lost, and border towns acting independently, isn't that giving the Japanese and the Anssa people an opportunity?

Even if the imperial court's fighting strength is weak, it still has a number of soldiers.

This can at least somewhat restrain Lie Qiang's ambitions.

Therefore, although Li Xin killed soldiers and generals and intimidated the Ministry of War, he did not really intend to paralyze the central government of the country.

It does them no good at all, but greatly benefits those foreigners.

It's unpleasant to think that I've been used as a weapon by a powerful thief.

High-ranking officials, nobles, and members of the imperial family are not worth mourning for.

But what have these people in the capital done wrong?

When the Allied forces sweep through Beijing, those foreigners will have no more scruples and may burn and kill everything in the city, leaving it completely desolate.

With his current abilities, he could survive against the outdated imperial army, but he couldn't guarantee survival against the foreign-armed forces.

With stray bullets flying everywhere, one bad luck could mean instant death.

After much deliberation, Li Xin decided that it would be best to have a clear cause for retribution and a legitimate reason for his attack.

The table can be flipped at any time.

Only when I am stronger and have no more scruples can I act freely.

"I have failed in my governance, and I cannot escape blame for today's events. I have no choice but to resign and retire from public life, never to concern myself with state affairs again..."

A hint of humiliation flashed in the Minister of War's eyes.

His beard trembled slightly.

He was clearly furious, but he could only force himself to suppress it.

The situation is better than people.

He dared not display any of his official authority.

There's no point in saying anything when dealing with impolite people from the martial arts world.

Moreover, no matter how you look at it, the reasons are on the other side.

In the past, the imperial court was powerful and used force to suppress others, so it didn't matter whether people listened to reason or not. But that's no longer the case.

He paused here, then said, "I urge Brother Li to stop here. Too many people have already died today. I don't want the court's pillars to suffer such heavy losses because of some absurd things."

"Just kill yourself!"

Li Xin's eyes were indifferent, and his voice was devoid of any warmth.

Since you're so righteous and want to gain fame, I'll grant your wish.

"what?"

"No..."

"Lord Rong is concerned about the world and is truly a pillar of the nation. He must not die."

"Li Xin, you have killed countless people along the way, including the generals Yuan Han and Zhuo Erchun. You must have vented your anger."

Now, your elder brother Li Cheng and your cousin Li Xiaowan are both fine...

Why not stop here, save face, and make it easier to meet again in the future?

At this moment, another official stepped forward.

His words moved everyone present.

This man also appeared to be in his early forties, and his official robes indicated he was a second-rank official, so he must be one of the two vice ministers.

It is only one rank lower than the Minister of War, who is a first-rank official.

He was considered an important official in the imperial court.

A high-ranking official.

I love killing high-ranking officials the most.

Li Xin asked curiously, "What is your name?"

"Lord Rong He is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and is deeply trusted by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor..."

Someone nearby said.

"So it's the Left Vice Minister. My apologies for not recognizing you. Since you've stepped forward, you might as well die first."

Li Xin thrust his spear forward.

They pierced his chest and hoisted this high-ranking official of the second rank into the air.

"you you……"

Ronghe felt a sharp pain in his chest, but was filled with deep regret.

Can't we just hide?

He had to come out and show off, and look what happened—he got stabbed to death.

Overwhelmed with remorse, his mind went blank, and he couldn't understand how things had come to this.

Li Xin watched with a cold laugh, thinking to himself that even if he couldn't see the thick black aura on his body, he could hear the old man's constant contempt for him.

I was wondering who this guy came from.

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be in cahoots with the Japanese.

If you are truly committed to reform, then so be it; after all, as a servant, loyalty to the emperor is a natural duty.

Although his mind wasn't clear, it was ultimately due to the limitations of the era.

However, the fact that they harbored the idea of ​​supporting a puppet regime is despicable and unforgivable.

"Lord Rong..."

"No."

"Why did it have to come to this!"

Li Xin killed the Left Vice Minister of War as easily as killing a chicken.

I listened intently to the sound of horses' hooves approaching from afar.

He turned to look at Rong Sheng, the Minister of War.

"More troops arrived, but this time, they dared not approach."

Minister Rong, you know what to do…

"I am willing to die, but I only hope to save the lives of my colleagues and prevent their families from being implicated."

"It is hateful that Sadoro and his ilk acted on their own initiative, bringing disaster upon themselves. Executing one person is not enough as a warning; their entire family should be executed."

Rong Sheng sighed, his whole body trembling as if he were shaking, before slowly saying, "Bring me paper and pen!"

An official immediately presented paper and pen.

He shakily wrote down an order.

The message was immediately passed down.
