Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 32 Preparation

A fierce killing intent.

It instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Li Shuyan didn't even bother to remind Li Mu beside her. Instinctively, she took off the ring on her hand and threw it at the broken roof.

"when,"

The long sword trembled violently.

The blade twisted in one motion, sweeping towards Li Mu's head.

The latter only felt a stinging pain between his eyebrows.

There was no chance to dodge at this moment, so he could only raise his arms, then clasp his hands together to catch the falling blade, while looking up to meet a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

His brows held an indifferent expression.

Li Mu felt a vague sense of familiarity.

In just a moment.

A thunderbolt seemed to strike his mind, and he cried out in horror, "Father, he is...!"

However, he hadn't finished speaking.

The immense force transmitted from the blade violently shook Li Mu's palms away and cleaved down directly from his Heavenly Spirit Power, causing his body to stiffen.

'Pat'

Qin Jiu landed.

Li Mu's stiff body then split in two and fell to the ground.

This moment seems very long.

But from the moment he drew his knife until it landed in the hall.

In less than three breaths.

"Shepherd!"

Li Shuyan was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened in fury. His body resembled a tyrannical dragon, the bluestone floor tiles beneath his feet shattered, and he almost instantly approached Qin Jiu, then clenched his fist and slammed it down.

The latter had an unusual look in his eyes, holding a sword across his chest.

"when,"

The Boxers made their first contact.

Fine cracks immediately appeared beneath the two of them.

Dust filled the surroundings.

It was instantly scattered by the powerful wind.

"Second refinement..."

Li Shuyan's expression froze for a moment, then he was furious: "How dare you, a mere second-level cultivator, act like this? You deserve to die!!!"

"boom,"

Almost simultaneously.

The roof exploded again, and two more figures fell to the ground.

One made no attempt to conceal his aura, his body radiating the internal energy fluctuations of a second-level cultivator, while the other slightly restrained himself, wielding a hexagonal heavy hammer, which he aimed straight at Li Shuyan's head.

"roll!"

The latter was almost insane at that moment.

Adding to the fact that the newcomer's aura of a second-level cultivator was not concealed at all, he only slightly flashed the hammer before raising his hand to strike the newcomer's chest.

However, it was only a single encounter.

Li Shuyan coughed up blood and flew backward.

His left arm hung limply in a bizarre posture, while the man wielding the hammer followed closely behind, striking him several more times. The head of the Li family died on the spot, without ever having uttered another word.

"Protect the master's house!"

"Charge in!"

At this time.

Shouts of battle gradually rose from outside the hall.

Immediately following was the sound of clashing swords.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiu immediately chopped off Li Shuyan's head with his knife, then looked at the masked figure holding a hammer.

"Go and deal with the other direct descendants of the Li family."

"Leave this to me and him."

"No, this is far too risky for you..."

"It's alright."

Qin Jiu shook his head and said, "Just now, I still took Li Shuyan's punch head-on. Unless there are three-stage martial artists outside, they can't threaten me. Go, speed is of the essence in war. If there's anything wrong, we can review it when we get back."

Qin Xuanzhou could only sigh upon hearing this.

Then he quickly left the hall.

Qin Jiu grabbed Li Shuyan's head and led another person out of the hall, heading straight for the source of the shouts of battle.

When he threw the head, which lay there with its eyes wide open, to the ground.

The guards' expressions changed instantly.

"Master of the house, master of the house..."

Someone's teeth are chattering.

Only half a sentence was spoken.

He involuntarily moved backward.

The others also had their eyes gleaming, and gradually fell silent. Then, they dispersed without prior arrangement, with some shrewd ones even heading straight for the inner palace.

These people clearly figured it out.

The other party brought out Li Shuyan's head merely as a warning, and had no intention of actually attacking him.

Therefore, the guards decisively turned and ran away.

joke.

A martial artist at the third level of cultivation died in less than a quarter of an hour after the sound of the collision.

Who would dare to continue this stalemate?

"Let's go to the Li family's secret vault."

Qin Jiu spoke.

Upon hearing this, the group's eyes lit up.

Then they all rushed to the inner palace.

......

Night, the beginning of Yin hour.

Less than half an hour had passed since the death of the Li family patriarch.

Taking advantage of the dark and windy night.

Qin Jiu then led Qin Xuanzhou and his group back to the Qin residence in a hurry. At the same time, another guard who had stayed behind at the Chai Gang set fire to the pavilion there and returned safely to the Qin residence.

There are a few people at this moment.

They all changed their clothes and gathered in the east wing.

"Regarding tonight's events, everyone..."

As Qin Jiu spoke, his gaze swept across their faces.

Qin Xuanzhou's face was grim as he immediately said, "Please rest assured, Patriarch, we will keep today's events a secret. Anyone who dares to utter a word about it will have their head ripped off by my own hands."

Upon hearing this, everyone...

They all turned to look at Qin Jiu, and hurriedly patted their chests to assure him.

This is the current head of the Qin family.

His strength was fully revealed tonight.

Even Huang Jing and Qin Xudong, who had previously served as sparring partners, were utterly shocked at this moment.

He took the head of the old leader of the wood-chopping gang with a knife.

They confronted the head of the Li family head ....

This cannot be explained by the second level of cultivation.

Therefore, no one wanted to leave a bad impression on Qin Jiu at this moment.

Seeing this, Qin Jiu nodded and said, "Everyone has contributed to tonight's events. Therefore, I will reward Commander Qin Xuanzhou with one thousand taels of silver and two bottles of Triple Refinement Protective Pills. The other five will each receive two hundred taels of silver and two bottles of Bone Forging Pills. Are you all satisfied?"

"Your subordinate thanks you, Master."

Everyone readily accepted.

As second-level guards, they only received a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver. Now, after going out for a trip, they only received two bottles of Bone Forging Pills, which were worth three hundred taels of silver. Who could say they were not satisfied?

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Qin Jiu couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

In fact.

What I got from the Chai Gang and the Li family tonight.

The gold and silver alone are worth more than 30,000 taels of silver, not including some precious medicines and high-grade weapons.

That's why I'm being rewarded with such a small amount.

The main reason.

These people also engaged in embezzlement while transporting valuables.

However, they didn't receive much.

He turned a blind eye to it.

After the rewards were given.

Qin Jiu then dismissed everyone.

Only Qin Xuanzhou remained.

"Xuanzhou, starting tomorrow, help me reduce the number of guards. Just keep as many loyal to the Qin family as possible."

"Steward Wang is not currently in the residence."

"You are also responsible for inspecting the other collateral relatives and servants' families. Weed out the bad and keep the good as soon as possible. Our Qin family needs to prepare to leave Songshan County."

"What?"

Qin Xuanzhou was startled and asked, "Could it be because of what happened tonight?"

Yes and no.

Qin Jiu both nodded and shook his head.

He didn't say much.

After all, you can't see into someone's heart. Those uncles from the collateral branches left without hesitation, so I'm naturally reluctant to share my thoughts with them now.

They were only instructed to prepare for leaving Songshan County.

Qin Xuanzhou hesitated for a moment, then said, "This is certainly not impossible, but what about the Hundred Beasts Garden..."

"I will personally take care of things over there."

Qin Jiu said.

His eyes flickered slightly.

He currently has five talent slots available, which is a good opportunity to improve his strength and see if there are any suitable talent imprints.
