Chapter 53 Dawn

Author: Sharkshou Zhazhao

"Pick the strongest among you and fight me. Whoever stabs the other will get to drink."

Li Hecheng played with the wine cup in his hand and said casually.

"Before dawn, if you win, then it's up to you; if we win -"

"You guys, get out of here right now."

Marquis Yongding glanced at the circle of people behind him, and finally his eyes met the eyes of Ji Xuan who had been sitting cross-legged in the dark.

The old man stood up slowly while holding the snake-head staff and pulled off the hood on his head.

"I can fight, but His Highness's skills are not deep enough. Fighting one on one would be a bit bullying. What's more, His Highness is a dragon-born, and I really don't dare to offend him."

Feeling the familiar inner force in Li Hecheng's body, Ji Xuan was able to confirm that the divine consciousness of the Heavenly Lord had been restored to less than half, so he continued:

"If Your Highness is willing, we should find another person."

"Ha," Li Hecheng sneered, "I don't dare to offend, but I have already offended. What if I don't agree?"

Seeing his stalemate, Marquis Yongding, who was sitting in the first place on the left, shook his head and said with a helpless tone, "Since His Highness is unwilling, let's just use the old method. Someone -"

"I come."

Li Qianyin placed the sword at her waist on the table, stared at Ji Xuan and said word by word, "I'm here. Are you satisfied with the elder?"

"Qianyin," Li Hecheng stopped him, "There are other ways. You haven't recovered from your injuries, so don't go."

"No," she pulled out her hand and whispered, "don't worry, if it's magic, I'm not as good as him, but in this competition, I can definitely fight with him."

"Hey, if I let you, a girl, fight, you would be scolded."

He grabbed her again and whispered breathlessly.

"Ha," Li Qianyin was speechless, raised a fake smile at him, and slapped his hand away, "Don't touch me."

Then he stepped directly over the table, slowly drew out the long sword, and turned it against the ground.

"I know that Miss Li is good at Gu magic, but if you are just trying to compete with swords, please don't make a sneak attack."

"I should be the one to say this, Elder Jixuan, put away your blinders and don't appear to be unworthy of the Cross Gate."

The long sword spinning in her hand was suddenly grasped tightly. She pulled away to avoid it, then raised the hilt of the sword with both hands and made an upward stroke——

Li Qianyin stood aside and looked at the old man who tried to attack her suddenly before she finished speaking. The robe in front of her was cut open by her long sword.

"Elder Jixuan, if you play like this, you will lose."

There was a narrow smile in her eyes, and she flicked the sword with two fingers. With a "ding" sound, the sword fell steadily into her hand, and she stabbed her face again.

On the side, Li Hecheng picked up the wine pot unhurriedly, filled a glass, and raised the wine cup slightly to Marquis Yongding who was sitting opposite:

"Hey, I will drink this bowl of wine for Miss Li first."

Marquis Yongding's expression suddenly changed, and his left hand on the case was clenched into a fist.

When did Li Qianyin's martial arts become so strong? What's more, in Luoyang before, he had never heard of the daughter of General Zhaonan knowing any martial arts.

The long sword in the hands of the girl in the palace is like a white snake spitting out a message, breaking through the wind, moving like lightning, and making killing moves every step of the way.

Amid the fierce sword wind, the old man struggled to retreat, holding the knife to protect his body, and hit the door with a "bang" sound.

"Master Marquis, unfortunately, it is me who is here to drink again."

Li Hecheng's lips curled up imperceptibly, and his eyes darkened slightly as he watched Li Qianyin pull out the long sword from under Jixuan's collarbone.

After countless moves, the white robe on the old man's body was almost stained red.

"Your Majesty's internal strength has really improved rapidly." He got up from the ground and wiped away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand. His eyes were as bright as fire. "In less than a month, it far exceeded my previous decades of practice - it's a pity that I specialize in magic."

, when it comes to internal strength and martial arts, I’m really not as good as you.”

Hearing this, Li Qianyin raised his hand and pointed the tip of his sword at the hunched old man on the ground:

"Is Elder Jixuan going to admit defeat?"

“No cough cough”

He coughed violently, picked up the curled knife on the ground, and wanted to fight again.

But Li Qianyin didn't want to wait for him.

In the past life, this person led many decent immortal sects to join forces to kill her, and he also obstructed and encouraged Tianzun to persuade her to reincarnate. In this life, he framed and tortured her several times when she was not prepared -

Willing to admit defeat, life or death depends on her, she kicked the knife out of the old man's hand, pointed at the exposed neck of the old man, and stabbed it without hesitation.

"No, get away quickly!"

The moment the sword blade touched the dry and wrinkled skin, a flash of green light flashed across the wound. Li Hecheng stood up quickly, and three silver needles flew out from his fingertips and stabbed behind her.

But it's still too late.

In the flash of lightning, Ji Xuan suddenly appeared behind her, holding a huge broad knife in both hands and stabbed it directly with all his strength.

The silver needle hit the blade, and the long knife deflected. Although it avoided her heart, it still penetrated her ribs and penetrated through her abdomen.

"ah"

The pain of the sharp blade penetrating her body was delayed for a few seconds. Her hand loosened and the sword slipped from her fingers and fell in front of the wooden puppet opposite.

She opened her mouth, but it was so painful that she couldn't make any sound.

From the confusion of Liuhe to today's cheating, Ji Xuan's illusions are indeed extremely powerful, hundreds of times stronger than Ali from the Eight Divisions back then.

Li Hecheng had been keeping a close eye on them for so long just because he was afraid that they would use some dirty tricks, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't see through it immediately.

Seeing King Yi preparing to take action, the white-clothed disciples from Shishimen immediately stood in front of him.

"Your Highness, I want to drink more of this bowl of wine."

Marquis Yongding put his hands on his hands and laughed and drank two or three pots in one breath. He felt very contented and said, "It's just that the rules are set by King Yi. Your Highness, please don't break the rules."

"The rules set by this king can be changed if I want to!"

Jixuan pulled out the long knife without hesitation, and blood splattered everywhere.

Seeing the girl's body crumbling in front of his eyes, Li Hecheng almost went crazy. He turned his palm down and struck the void hard. A huge circle of golden light suddenly shook away the disciples of the Cross Sect surrounding him, killing him instantly.

.

"Little witch, little witch!"

He caught her suddenly weary figure, her heart seemed to be crushed to pieces, and while calling her, with trembling fingertips, he panickedly inserted needles and tapped her acupuncture points.

The old man's gray hair was messy from the fight just now.

Looking at Li Qianyin who was as angry as silk, a few complicated emotions flashed through Ji Xuan's eyes.

If it weren't for the incompatibility, he would actually admire this young girl very much.

"it's over."

The old man threw the long knife to Li Qianyin's side, turned his back and sighed.

Suddenly, Li Hecheng seemed to see the corner of the girl's mouth in his arms twitching very slightly.

"Your Highness, King Yi, if you have any new methods, let's go together -"

The words died between the teeth.

Ji Xuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

He wanted to say something else, but he held his neck where blood was spurting out, his throat was buzzing and vibrating, making a horrible sound of blood bubbling.

At this moment, the first ray of morning light happened to shine through the window of the main hall on Jixuan's gradually stiffening body.
