Chapter 58 Go and report it to the authorities
Lu Jiu stood there, stunned. He hadn't expected the other person to say such a thing.
Although I didn't quite understand what "dish" meant, it wasn't hard to tell from Li Zhi's contemptuous tone that it wasn't a compliment.
Anger welled up inside me.
Lu Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, and after seeing Li Zhi retract the "Breaking Army Spear Technique" from his arms, he became even more impatient.
"Come on," Li Zhi said calmly. "Let me see what it feels like to fight these dozen or so people."
"superior!"
Shikaku squeezed out the word through gritted teeth, turning unnecessary words into strength.
He pushed off with his feet and made the first move, his spear aimed straight at Li Zhi.
This time, Li Zhi neither dodged nor retreated. He picked up his sword, but did not draw it, and raised it high.
It was simple, yet it came crashing down on you.
Such an ordinary action was extraordinary in Shikaku's eyes, like a mountain pressing down on him.
In an instant, Shikaku felt the wind disappear, the shouts of his companions fade into the distance, and even his own wildly beating heart seemed to stop for a beat.
The whole world was left with only that approaching, increasingly heavy shadow.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Shikaku didn't even feel pain. He only felt an endless darkness and dullness pouring in from the top of his head, instantly overwhelming all his consciousness.
He fell straight down, kicking up a small cloud of dust.
It was still a wake-up call, and it still defeated the enemy in one move.
Those who were besieging the sect did not expect their young master to lose so quickly. Some were stunned, while others wanted to go forward to check on Shikaku's condition.
But Li Zhi moved. Being distracted in battle gives others an opportunity. Lin Yueyin's teachings were still fresh in his mind.
How could Li Zhi let such a good opportunity slip by? He took a step forward, looking unhurried, even with a hint of leisurely stroll.
Before anyone could react, Li Zhi was already in front of them, like a fleeting glimpse of a swan skimming across the water, so fast that they could only see her clear and beautiful figure reflected in the water.
Another short, solid "bang"!
A person with a gun falls to the ground like a ripe fruit.
At this moment, the attackers realized what was happening and hurriedly formed a large net to attack Li Zhi.
Li Zhi did not retreat, but instead crashed directly into the large net of intertwined swords and blades.
But how can such a net capture a phoenix that leaves a fleeting trace in the sky?
As she gracefully passed by, the figures fell one after another like harvested crops.
The chaotic, angry roars quickly thinned out, replaced by muffled thuds of bodies hitting the ground and occasional groans of pain.
In less than thirty breaths, Li Zhi returned to the spot where Lu Jiu had fallen and looked down at the hem of his clothes.
There was a small patch of dust there, probably from someone falling down and kicking up some dirt.
He then shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the people lying haphazardly on the ground, and said softly, "Not bad."
These words drifted away in the wind, but unfortunately, no one in the room could respond.
Feeling bored, Li Zhi shrugged and started to leave, but as soon as he stepped out of the training ground, he found an old figure blocking his way.
He was an old man with white hair and a white beard, leaning on a gun.
The gun was dark black, and looked the same as the one Shikaku had just used.
So, this is a case of beating the young one and then the old one coming?
Li Zhi thought to himself, then asked, "You're also from the Lu family, and you also want that 'Breaking Army Spear Technique'?"
The old man didn't answer; he didn't even bother to give his name.
The answer to Li Zhi was that spear.
There was no warning, no opening move.
With a flick of his wrist, the old man sent the spear flying like a dragon emerging from its lair, tearing through the air.
It stabbed straight at him.
Li Zhi was very familiar with this move; it was the fastest move in the Breaking Army Spear Technique, striking straight at the heart of the enemy.
But he never expected such a scene: the gun drew a blurry black arc in the air and emitted a sharp whistle.
The surrounding air seemed to be distorted, and a feeling as cold as a harsh winter and as devastating as a beacon fire was pressing down on me.
This is a cultivator at the fifth realm. Their divine sense and true essence, combined with their techniques, distorted reality.
Fantasy is coming to earth.
This is the true Po Jun Spear, with its Po Jun momentum—swift, ruthless, and deadly, striking straight at the heart of the enemy, with no chance of return!
The gun's speed wasn't actually fast enough to be undetectable, but its momentum was too overwhelming and too heavy!
It was as if they were facing not a gun, but the vanguard of a steel torrent bursting forth from a breached dam.
All of Li Zhi's possible routes for maneuvering and dodging seemed to have been preemptively blocked and crushed by that overwhelming spear intent.
Just as Li Zhi was about to take the hit head-on, something flew over, arriving faster than the old man's spear.
It didn't attack the old man, but instead struck precisely in the middle of the black spear.
"Bang!"
The sound wasn't loud, but it was crisp.
It wasn't until it landed that Li Zhi could see what it was; it was a small pebble.
But it was this action, like a child striking an ancient bell with a pebble, that made the old man's forward momentum suddenly stop.
The condensed, almost tangible force of the Breaking Army Spear suddenly froze, then became slightly disordered.
The veins on the back of the old man's hand, which was gripping the gun, bulged, and he took half a step back before regaining his balance.
Immediately, as if sensing something, he tried to turn his head to look, but collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
A red silk ribbon struck his head faster than the old man had anticipated.
Looking at the familiar red silk ribbon, Li Zhi shook his head without saying a word, stepped over the old man's unconscious figure, and walked towards the carriage.
The servants tending the carriage were clearly unaware of what had happened in the deer park, and still respectfully saw Li Zhi out of the park.
On the way back to Zhaoyang Prefecture, Li Zhi was still thinking about how to deal with the situation next.
Suddenly, the brocade curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and a red figure entered.
In just a moment, someone was already sitting in the carriage.
She wore a red dress, her figure was alluring, and she leaned against the soft wall of the room, her beautiful eyes smiling.
It could be that person if it wasn't Qu Hongxiao.
"Thank you for your help earlier." Li Zhi showed no surprise and sincerely thanked him.
Qu Hongxiao was satisfied with this attitude. She nodded and asked, "Have you thought about what to do next?"
They went to the deer park to meet the emperor, but were besieged and attacked, with even cultivators from the fifth realm being dispatched.
This happened right under the emperor's nose, which is already quite egregious.
Looking at Qu Hongxiao, who was clearly a member of the imperial court, Li Zhi understood her meaning: she wanted to downplay the seriousness of the matter.
Fine, considering how she intervened just now, I can accept it.
"I'll pretend nothing happened," Li Zhi said.
Upon hearing this answer, Qu Hongxiao frowned: "What are you thinking?"
Oh?
These words and reactions piqued Li Zhi's interest; he sensed that something was about to happen.
I never expected Qu Hongxiao could surprise me like this; she's quite an interesting person.
Li Zhi smiled: "It seems that Master Qu has other ideas. If you tell me, I will definitely do it."
"Didn't you just speak very well?"
Qu Hongxiao revealed a charming smile: "Go and report it to the authorities."
Li Zhi paused for a moment, then smiled, understanding Qu Hongxiao's meaning.
Moreover, this matter is starting to get interesting.
