Chapter 55

"Unseal!" Li Yi instantly felt a force that could threaten his life. He decisively released the sword, and a primitive and thick aura emanated from it. The cold light sword seemed to suddenly transform into an ancient giant beast, emitting a bone-chilling force.

"Bang!"

The two weapons clashed, and a tremendous force surged from the mystic weapon, forcefully pushing Ji Meng back. The fine sword in his hand trembled incessantly.

"Third-grade mystic weapon!" Ji Meng exclaimed in shock. The weapon in his hand was only a second-grade mystic weapon, yet it felt a chill of fear in the battle. Such a situation would only occur if there was a clear grade advantage.

"Hmph, even if your mystic weapon is one grade higher, what does it matter? My cultivation is three levels higher than yours. Let's see how you can escape!" Ji Meng gathered a breath of true qi and fiercely raised his sword to charge again. Light rings flickered at the tip of the sword, and peach blossoms bloomed, falling toward Li Yi.

At this moment, the other four Great Martial Masters also unleashed their ultimate moves, surrounding and attacking together. They were executing Li Yunxiao's mission, not engaging in a one-on-one duel, so they had no qualms about joining forces.

"How shameless, to gang up!" Li Yi roared in anger, sweeping his cold sword horizontally. A bone-chilling sword beam froze the surrounding air, and the cold air burst forth, sweeping toward the few people.

The cold air froze their movements, making them suddenly slow down. In that brief moment, Li Yi seized the opportunity, leaping up and fleeing outward.

"Not bad, your escape skills are incredibly proficient. I bet you've practiced many times." Li Yunxiao's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, smiling as he raised the Black Girl sword and slashed down.

"Brat, with your trash cultivation, you think you can stop me!" Li Yi roared, gathering strength to slash back. Suddenly, he felt a heavy weight, and a tremendous pulling force came from the ground, causing his body to hesitate and fall.

"Gravity field? Ten times gravity?"

Li Yi was shocked. Ten times gravity would normally be like walking on flat ground for him, but being suddenly pulled without any mental preparation still threw him off. Immediately, the five people behind him caught up and surrounded him.

Ji Meng was even more enraged, almost letting the opponent escape, which would be a great embarrassment. He pointed his sword, and the fine, flexible sword suddenly "swooshed" and moved like a snake, breaking through the air, with sword beams flashing and flowers blooming and falling.

"Swoosh!"

A golden light suddenly broke through the air, striking Ji Meng's flexible sword. Ji Meng's hand sank, and the force was completely deflected. He exclaimed in shock, "Four Elements Realm Martial Lord!"

A gray figure appeared, swiftly striking out with five palms, forcing Ji Meng and the four Great Martial Masters back. Then he grabbed Li Yi's shoulder and shouted, "Go!"

Li Yi seemed not at all surprised by the man's appearance, violently shaking off his arm and angrily saying, "Let me kill this brat first before we go!" He flew toward Li Yunxiao, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped due to his third-grade mystic weapon, a cold ice sword qi slashing toward Li Yunxiao's head.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, the cold ice in the air seemed to be burned by a fierce fire, instantly turning into steam and evaporating. Li Yunxiao and Li Yi both felt the temperature rise sharply, and the air seemed to be burning.

"Bad!" Li Yi was startled and quickly tried to retreat. But he saw a huge axe falling from the sky, splitting the air in two, and the sound of burning followed the path of the axe.

"Inferno City?" The gray-clothed man's face changed drastically. He extended his hands, and a war spear suddenly appeared. He fiercely thrust it, and the cold ice qi seemed to roar like a dragon, rising into the air to meet the giant axe.

"Boom!"

The water and fire forces collided and spread out. The gray-clothed man was shaken internally, and his internal organs were slightly injured. In a panic, he quickly grabbed Li Yi and fled.

The water and fire qi collided in the air, producing a large amount of mist that spread over the entire Li residence.

In the mist, a slender figure faintly appeared. Luo Yunshang, carrying a large axe, slowly emerged, her gaze sweeping over the few people. Those who met her gaze all felt a chill and lowered their heads.

Finally, her gaze landed on Li Yunxiao. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she coldly asked, "What's going on? Why would a Martial Lord-level expert try to kill you?"

Li Yunxiao smiled bitterly and said, "How would I know why a Martial Lord suddenly appeared..." He put on a frightened look, "Thank goodness Teacher Luo appeared in time, otherwise I would definitely be dead now."

Luo Yunshang's face was full of suspicion because when she attacked, there was not a trace of fear or panic in Li Yunxiao's eyes, like a calm ancient well, which was somewhat frightening. She really didn't understand where Li Yunxiao got such confidence.

She glanced at Ji Meng and the other four Great Martial Masters, her gaze narrowing, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ji Meng was a deputy leader of a team, and the other four were from the third team. The five of them looked at each other, unsure how to answer. Li Yunxiao defused the situation with a smile, "This is a long story. By the way, why did Teacher Luo come?"

Luo Yunshang seemed to be deep in thought, staring at Li Yunxiao and said, "I heard that last night you played the Guangling Scatter, making the flowers bloom. I really want to hear it."

Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "Playing music requires the right time, place, and people. Without the environment of last night, how can I play it again?"

Luo Yunshang frowned, almost wanting to get angry, but quickly relaxed and said, "That's a pity. If there's an opportunity next time, I'll come to listen."

Li Yunxiao said, "Teacher Luo, a Martial Lord-level assassin appeared in the capital for no reason, and he is an accomplice of Li Yi. This person also tried to poison Commander Xiao yesterday, clearly with ulterior motives. I hope Teacher Luo will inform His Majesty and search the entire city, with no mercy!"

Luo Yunshang said, "This matter is indeed suspicious. I will inform His Majesty. I have another question for you. Can you cure Commander Xiao's internal injuries?"

Li Yunxiao smiled and said, "As long as I'm not dead, I should be able to cure them."

Luo Yunshang said, "That's good. During the time you cure Commander Xiao's injuries, I will send people to protect you."

Li Yunxiao's face showed pleasure. Luo Yunshang's appearance gradually exposed Li Yi's background. Having a Martial Lord-level bodyguard by his side, he couldn't be an ordinary person. If this Martial Lord wasn't sent by Qin Zheng, even Qin Zheng wouldn't tolerate him!

After Luo Yunshang left, he instructed everyone to wait outside and walked straight into the Li family compound. After turning a few corners, he came to a dilapidated small courtyard, where the lock on the door was already rusted.

Li Yunxiao broke the lock with a single palm and pushed the door open, walking in. Inside, the grass was overgrown, and various small animals scurried about, clearly showing that no one had been there for a long time.

He wandered around for a while and suddenly laughed, "Old man, still not coming out? Do you want me to tear up your floor?"

The small courtyard was silent, with no response.

Li Yunxiao coldly snorted, walked to a pillar of a dilapidated house, and took out the Black Girl sword to slash down!

"Clang!"

His Black Girl sword was directly deflected by a force, causing his tiger's mouth to split, and the sword flew out of his hand, embedding itself in the ground of the small courtyard. An old voice said, "How did you find me?"

An old man in rough hemp clothing appeared behind Li Yunxiao, his face full of surprise.

Li Yunxiao shook his arm, looking at the blood on his palm, and laughed, "Blood and water mix, it's a kind of telepathy. How can it compare to your old man's ruthless move!"

The old man's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he said happily, "Are all the meridians in your body really unblocked? A Four-star Warrior, good, good! Excellent! No wonder you are my grandson Li Chunyang, far superior to those so-called geniuses!"

Li Yunxiao coldly snorted and said, "Do you still care about my life? What are you hiding here for? Playing hide and seek? If I hadn't sensed your aura just now, I would have thought you were really killed by 8527."

Li Chunyang angrily said, "Nonsense! A mere servant, how could he possibly defeat me!" His eyes suddenly showed a hint of shock, "What did you say? You sensed my aura just now?"

Li Yunxiao said disdainfully, "Do you think you hid well? When Li Yi attacked me, if I hadn't sensed your aura, do you think I, a Four-star Warrior, would have the nerve to stand there without moving or dodging?"

Li Chunyang's face turned blank, "This, this is impossible."

Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said, "Forget about that. Tell me, what do you think and plan to do now that the Li family is in this state?"

Li Chunyang thought for a long time and sighed deeply. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What do you think I plan to do? And what do you plan to do?"

Li Yunxiao knew the old man was testing him and smiled faintly, "You hiding here is to stay away from trouble. One, to observe Qin Zheng's attitude, and two, to watch the situation develop. After all, Qin Zheng is old, and the sky of Tian Shui Kingdom will soon change. The old man hiding here is to better understand the situation and plot a long-term path for the Li family. Otherwise, how could a lowly servant like 8527 cause any trouble
