Chapter 57 Bullying the few with more
March 20th is a good day for traveling and burials, but not for praying.

At noon, more than a dozen people sat together in the Li family's lobby.

At the main seat, Li Rulong, dressed in black, said with a sad face, "Thank you all for your kindness. I invited you all here today because I want you to be my witnesses."

"That kid from the Gu family killed my four grandchildren. This hatred is irreplaceable. Today, I, Li, will take his life as a sacrifice to the spirits of my four grandchildren in heaven."

Those present were all Li Rulong’s long-time friends or partners of the Li family, so they naturally voiced their support.

Only one person remained silent and watched coldly.

Li Rulong noticed that the man was Liu Yi from Jin Yutang, who had the highest status among all the people present.

He just pretended not to know, as long as people came.

After Li Rulong finished speaking, he led his men to attack the Gu family.

……

"Miss, the Li family has set off."

Inside the prefect's mansion, a servant came quickly to report.

Wang Xining immediately rushed over with his men, and saw a group of people marching towards the Gu family on the street, with a coffin leading the way in front.

There were not many people watching the fun on the street.

Ever since the ascetic monk from the Gu family killed Li Ruhe in the street ten days ago, everyone knew that there would be a war between the Li and Gu families.

Looking at the situation today, it is obvious that a big war is about to start. If you come out to watch the excitement at this time, you are asking for trouble.

Those who dare to go out on the streets are either extremely daring or those who rely on their strength.

"Xining, do you really want to intervene in this matter?"

Guo Yi followed him out, wearing men's clothing, which was not conspicuous. She said with some concern, "Have you forgotten the house rules of the Marquis' Mansion? You are not allowed to interfere in the grudges in the martial arts world. If the young Marquis knew about it, he would definitely take the opportunity to attack you and punish you."

Wang Xining did not answer, and after a while he said, "Uncle Guo is going to be transferred back to Shendu, right?"

"How do you know?"

"This matter has already spread everywhere. The emperor wants to transfer Uncle Guo back to the capital to take over the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Congratulations, you can finally return to the capital."

Guo Yi said with some melancholy, "I have been wandering outside for so many years that I have long forgotten what gods are like."

As the two chatted, the Li family's team finally entered the Gu family's territory.

"stop!"

A group of Gu family members appeared and blocked their way. As soon as they approached, they were bounced away by the invisible energy, falling a long way and unable to get up for a long time.

Finally, the team stopped in front of a house.

The coffin flew out, turned in the air, and with a "bang", landed in front of the gate.

Li Rulong swung his sleeves, and the two doors were blown away. He strode inside, with murderous intent on his thin face, and shouted, "Gu Mingchuan, give me back my grandson's life!"

……

"You stay here and don't come out. I'll take care of them."

Gu Mingchuan heard the noise outside the door and said to Su Lingshuang.

All the servants in the house, including Zhou Ruxuan, are here.

Su Lingshuang held his hand tightly and warned him, "Be careful."

"it is good."

Gu Mingchuan patted her hands and turned to walk out. Just as he closed the door to the lobby, he saw the gate to the courtyard was blown away.

He was a little bit envious, thinking that Qigong warriors were of higher status.

Then, he saw an old man in black, with white hair and beard. The aura around him had become so material that it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, he could clearly sense the protective energy outside his body.

What profound skills!

Gu Mingchuan said, "I'm surprised you dare to come to my house. Aren't you worried that a sword will fly out from the back mountain of my Gu family and kill all the members of your Li family?"

Li Rulong sneered, "Since I dare to come here, I must have made all the necessary arrangements. Just prepare to die. Gu Laogui will never come to support you."

Gu Mingchuan was indeed a little puzzled as to why no one from the Gu family came, and neither did the group of disciples from Qianlong Hall.

It seems that this old guy has been running Minglong City for many years and he still has some skills.

At this moment, he felt something in his heart. A gust of wind blew past his ear on the side of his head, and a few strands of hair fell off.

He said, "You old man, you have no moral principles."

Li Rulong's attack failed, so he drew his sword and shouted, "Die!"

……

"Invisible sword energy!"

Outside the door, the dozen or so warriors who were invited were somewhat shocked and began to discuss, "Isn't this the unique skill of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

"Could it be that Elder Li is the heir of the Wanjian Sect?"

"Not necessarily. During the turmoil in the Wanjian Sect, a lot of inheritance was lost."

"Mr. Li has mastered the invisible sword energy. I'm afraid there are few rivals in the Gang Yuan realm."

……

"mean!"

Not far away, Guo Yi saw Li Rulong's sneak attack and said angrily, "Xining, why don't you take action?"

Wang Xining stared at Li Rulong's movements and said, "Don't worry, a physical warrior at the eighth level of the Divine Power Realm won't die that easily."

Even as she said this, she already had her hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to strike at any moment.

……

At the same time, in the study room of the Gu family's old house, Gu Yunze slumped in the armchair, looking at the person in front of him with a sullen face, as if he wanted to eat him, "Wendong, my good son, you are really capable, you actually poisoned me!"

A middle-aged man knelt in front of him, his face pale. "Forgive me for being unfilial. I cannot watch you let the entire Gu family be buried with Gu Mingchuan. He is just an ascetic monk, and he is destined not to stay in the family for long. It is not worth our risk for him."

"Beast!"

Gu Yunze was so angry that he was shaking all over, "How could I give birth to someone like you..."

……

"Good swordsmanship!"

Gu Mingchuan felt a huge sense of oppression when facing Li Rulong's sword.

This man's swordsmanship was indeed very advanced, much better than his grandsons.

This was the first time he encountered an opponent who made him feel pressured, which aroused his fighting spirit. He shouted, "Take my sword!"

As soon as the word "knife" came out, everyone present felt a shocking knife intent coming, and they were all shocked.

"Knife intention?"

A few exclamations.

Everyone activated their protective qi to protect their bodies.

Many of the Li family members with weaker cultivation could not withstand the attack of the sword and vomited blood on the spot, having suffered internal injuries.

"Ninth level of divine power?"

Wang Xining lost his voice and for a moment he couldn't control his shock, his pupils trembling violently.

Eighteen years old and ninth level of divine power?

Even in the Divine Capital, there are only three or five people who have achieved this.

At this time, the two people in the field had already exchanged a move.

Gu Mingchuan's sword intent broke Li Rulong's invisible sword energy.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his strength was superior to Li Rulong's.

……

Li Rulong's face changed drastically. He could never have imagined that this kid had reached the ninth level of divine power.

No wonder he was so calm.

What’s even more terrifying is that he has also condensed the sword intent.

Li Rulong practiced swordsmanship for seventy years, and his skills reached the peak of the ninth level of Gangyuan, but he still could not comprehend the meaning of sword.

This child must not be kept!

A crazy killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he roared, "Why don't you attack?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Mingchuan's second knife had already arrived in front of him.

Before the knife arrived, the terrifying knife intent had already penetrated the protective qi, almost splitting his spirit in two.

He let out a scream in severe pain, and the protective energy in his body almost dissipated.

For a strong person who has mastered the sword intent, facing someone who has no sword intent, it is like a dimensionality reduction attack, which is almost impossible to resist.

However, Li Rulong was also a man who had experienced many battles. He held his breath and blocked the knife.

when.

There was a loud bang.

The floor beneath Li Rulong's feet cracked and collapsed into a hole.

At this moment, a figure appeared silently behind Gu Mingchuan and stabbed him in the back with a sword.

This person's moves were fast, accurate, and ruthless.

The timing was just right when Gu Mingchuan had no time to think about anything else.

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

"Humph!"

Wang Xining reacted extremely quickly. The sword in his hand was already unsheathed, and a stream of sword energy flew out, arriving in an instant and blocking the sword for Gu Mingchuan.

She shouted angrily, "Who are you, you bastard, to dare to hurt someone with a hidden sword?"

Just as she was about to charge forward and leap into the air, a man in green jumped out from the side, blocked her path, and advised her, "Miss, it's better not to meddle in other people's business."

"Go away!"

Wang Xining stabbed forward with a sword without saying a word.

The man in green raised his sword to block. He was actually at the ninth level of Gang Yuan. He barely blocked her sword and was shocked to take a step back. He asked in surprise, "What a profound cultivation. What's your name, young lady?"

Wang Xining was extremely anxious and ignored him completely. He moved his sword faster than the last one, just wanting to get rid of this man as soon as possible.

The man in green was also quite powerful and took a defensive stance, with the obvious intention of entangling her.

For a moment, the fight between the two men was full of sword energy, which seemed much more intense than the fight on the other side.

At this time, Guo Yi reminded, "Be careful, this man is called Fan Guqiu, and he has a deadly feud with the Gu family."

……

Not far away, on a roof.

Two men of extraordinary bearing were watching the battle. They were the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yongxu, and the prefect Guo Yun.

Jiang Yongxu sighed, "Master Guo is leaving soon, why do you still care about these trivial matters?"

Guo Yun said calmly, "I cannot bear to see you bullying the minority with your numbers."
