Chapter 49: Sword Intent?
A dozen miles outside the town, there are barren mountains and dilapidated temples.

A middle-aged man in black was standing in front of the collapsed statue, staring into the statue's empty eyes.

After a long time.

He suddenly said, "You are late."

Behind him, a man in blue floated over and landed silently. He said expressionlessly, "You set the time too tight."

The man in black turned around and asked, "Where's the stuff?"

The man in blue took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "This is the Golden Scale Pill you wanted. It can allow a Gangyuan Realm warrior to directly break through a small realm. Don't forget, you have already taken it. The second time you take it, it will not work."

"This is for the second one."

"Him? Isn't he so conceited that he doesn't want to use the power of the elixir to break through to the Shenzang realm?"

The man in black said solemnly, "Something happened at home."

"I guessed it." The man in blue said indifferently, "You used such an urgent contact method. I thought the old man died--"

The man in black shouted, "Old Five! Do not disrespect your grandfather."

The man in blue sneered, "Li's Wulang is dead, and the one standing in front of you now is Xuanming Sect's Xiangzhu Li Shang. After this, I have paid off what I owe to the Li family, and I am done with the Li family. Don't come looking for me again."

After saying that, he walked away.

The man in black stood there, looking at his departing back with a somewhat bleak look in his eyes.

Back then, in order to leave a way out for the family, their grandfather asked the six brothers to draw lots twenty years ago. Those who won the lot had to change their names and join the Xuanming Sect.

Finally, the fifth brother drew the lot.

From that day on, Wulang of the Li family died.

How dangerous is the Xuanming Sect?

I don’t know how Lao Wu managed to survive these years. Even with the financial support from his family, he must have been in great danger of death.

It’s no wonder that Laowu hates the Li family and his grandfather.

The man in black thought of this, sighed, turned and left.

……

The man in black was none other than Li Jingcai, the second most skilled fighter of the Li family. He quietly returned to the Li family's business in the town, took a horse, and prepared to rush back to Minglong City.

"Brother Li."

Not long after leaving the town, a man followed behind. It was Fan Siyue from the Fan family.

He said with a worried look on his face, "I've heard about the Fourth Master's affairs. That hard-working monk from the Gu family has now become associated with the Jiang family. I'm afraid he will become a great threat to us in the future."

When Li Jingcai heard the ascetic monk, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.

The expulsion of the fourth brother from the Tang family martial arts school and the disappearance of the sixth brother were already a serious blow to the Li family. Otherwise, he would not have used the last emergency contact with the fifth brother in exchange for a Jinlin Pill.

The current situation is indeed critical.

Especially the disappearance of Lao Liu. In the entire Minglong Mansion, there are no more than five people who can make him disappear silently. No matter who took action, it proves that the situation is collapsing.

At times like this, it is necessary to improve your strength as quickly as possible to shock the enemy.

Once the second brother takes the Golden Scale Pill and breaks through to the ninth level of Gangyuan, he will be able to handle any situation.

Li Jingcai said calmly, "A mere ascetic monk scared you like this?"

"But……"

"The Gu family now only has a few small people. Even if we give them ten years, they can't threaten your Fan family. Besides, the injuries on Gu Yunze's body can no longer be suppressed in a few years at most. Once he dies, the Gu family will no longer be a threat. As for that ascetic monk, the longer he can stay in the Gu family, the greater the possibility that he will break his vows. Can't you bear it for a few years?"

Fan Siyue looked a little embarrassed and cursed in his heart, "You Li family are naturally not afraid, but I am."

For the Gu family, the most hated family is undoubtedly the Fan family.

If that ascetic monk breaks through to the Shenzang realm before leaving, the first family to be destroyed will definitely be their Fan family.

The Li family has to move to the back.

The most painful thing is that the ascetic monk has established a relationship with the young master of the Jiang family. If he is killed, the seventh young master of the Jiang family will definitely not let it go.

If I don't kill him, he will definitely come and kill me when he grows up.

I feel like I'm going to die anyway.

Everyone in the Fan family was extremely anxious.

Fan Siyue also regretted it. When that kid first showed up, he should have decisively found an opportunity to eliminate him.

In fact, neither the Li family nor the Fan family considered the ascetic monk as a threat before this.

It was not until I heard that he had a close relationship with Young Master Jiang Qi that I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy.

...Fan Siyue followed Li Jingcai all the way, hoping to get a promise from him that the two families would advance and retreat together.

To put it bluntly, if the Fan family encounters danger in the future, the Li family can join forces with them to fight the enemy.

The lips and teeth are interdependent.

The Fan family is destroyed, can the Li family escape?
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them, blocked their way, and asked, "Are you Li Jingcai?"

The two men pulled the reins and stopped.

Li Jingcai looked at this handsome young man. For some reason, he felt a sense of danger in his heart. He stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The young man smiled heartily and said, "My name is Wang Dong. I have come to take your head."

"court death!"

Li Jingcai snorted coldly, stopped talking nonsense, and took action immediately.

Fan Siyue standing aside did not move.

If it were in the past, he would have already rushed forward and taken down that ignorant boy.

However, Li Jingcai was reluctant to express his opinion just now, which made him feel dissatisfied.

Over the years, the Fan family has been working like slaves for the Li family. But when the time came, the Li family didn't care about their lives at all. It was really heartbreaking.

Li Jingcai's sword turned into a rainbow, and the cold sword energy made his face change.

"His swordsmanship has improved compared to a few years ago. In terms of swordsmanship, I'm afraid he is no less than my father..."

Fan Siyue did not face the sword energy directly. He felt as if the protective energy in his body was about to be pierced, and he took a few steps back involuntarily.

That kid will definitely die——

At this moment, an extremely terrifying blade light burst out before his eyes, and he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if his head was split in half.

Knife intention!
It's the Grandmaster!
Fan Siyue was roaring in his heart, and suddenly he lost his balance and fell off the horse.

……

"Grandmaster?"

Li Jingcai, who was facing the knife head-on, had a look of extreme fear in his eyes. At the critical moment of life and death, the internal energy in his body was stimulated to the limit, and the protective energy became even more intense.

Unfortunately, this is just a futile struggle.

A blade easily cut through his indestructible energy and slashed across his throat.

"No, he is not the Grandmaster—"

Before Li Jingcai died, this thought flashed through his mind, and with despair, unwillingness and resentment, his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

……

When Fan Siyue regained his sight, he saw Li Jingcai's head on the ground more than ten meters away, facing him. There seemed to be lingering fear in his wide-open eyes.

Dead...dead!
He just felt a chill rushing to his forehead and his hands and feet went numb.

The second person in the Li family, a master at the peak of the eighth level of Gangyuan, died just like that?

He turned his head stiffly and saw the young man who called himself "Wang Dong" groping Li Jingcai.

As if sensing his gaze, the other party looked towards him.

This glance made Fan Siyue's heart sink to the bottom.

Even Li Jingcai was no match for the opponent's sword, let alone him?
Unexpectedly, the other party quickly looked away, took the things, and left.

"Go...go?"

Fan Siyue kept watching the other person's figure disappear at the end of the road, still unable to believe that the man actually let him go like that.

Suddenly, he jumped up from the ground, dropped his horse, and ran away in the opposite direction of the man at the fastest speed.

It was not until Minglong City came into view that Fan Siyue felt the joy of escaping death.

At this time, he also reacted.

Or, the other party just doesn't bother to kill himself.

Or, the other party deliberately did not kill him because he wanted to become famous.

Wang Dong!

Fan Siyue remembered this name firmly.
