Chapter 144 With a simple handshake, the treasure is in hand.
Not far away.
Lin Aoshan's lips curled up. It was the first time she had seen this "Martial Arts Commandant," and he was indeed indescribably handsome. She muttered, "The show is about to begin." She stood with her arms crossed, quite interested.
But then I saw the entrance to the martial arts school.
The newly appointed Martial Commander was tall and handsome, unlike any ordinary person. Behind him was a scene of utter chaos, with his followers and apprentices staggering about, their ranks crumbling.
Fang Yi makes his appearance.
His aura was extremely strong, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and his spirit was as powerful as a tiger's. The people in the hall were all well-known and respected masters in Qingning County. Having held high positions for a long time, they could decide life and death with a single word, and had gradually developed an air of superiority.
But the young military officer was not deterred in the slightest. As he fought his way through, his momentum grew even stronger, subtly overwhelming the others.
"Where did this ignorant brat come from? We're discussing important matters, why are you interfering?" Tie Xiong cursed. How could he not know that Li Xian was Wu Weilang? At this moment, he spoke rudely, calling him an "ignorant brat," and secretly exerted his Qi to suppress him.
Iron Bear is the owner of the Bear Martial Arts School. Anyone who can open a martial arts school must be quite powerful. Martial arts battles are brutal; without true skill, it is difficult to last long.
Iron Bear cultivates the "Bear Body Technique," a skill that cultivates arrogance and blood, allowing internal energy to permeate the entire body, resulting in the growth of black fur that makes him resemble a giant bear. He is tall and imposing, and his every word and action is intimidating. A single shout is enough to terrify a grown man into a state of utter panic.
Li Xian, however, did not care at all: "I am a newly appointed military officer, this is my duty, how can it be considered meddling?"
He entered the martial arts school. Mei Rendu, Zhou Long, Hu Shengnan, and Tie Xiong, their gazes sharp as cold arrows, all focused on him. Li Xian, relaxed and natural, walked up to Tie Xiong: "You want to stop me?"
Iron Bear's face twitched, extremely angry. "Ignorant brat, you're asking for death!" He was about to make a move.
But then the snake, which was wielding the poison of the plum tree, suddenly sneered, "Boy, you say you have a brilliant plan to resolve this?"
Li Xiandao: "Of course."
Miao Xichun helped him up, knowing that the situation couldn't get any worse, and said, "Alright, new Martial Officer, what are your opinions? Please tell me, I, Miao Xichun, am willing to listen."
Zhou Long said coldly, "If you can't come up with a good idea, even if you are a military officer, I won't be polite to you."
Li Xian said, "Very well, since you are all willing to listen to me, then I will speak."
"As a newly appointed military officer, I am unaware of the various grudges among you all. But the matter at hand is quite simple; it boils down to a dispute over a 'precious and rare item'."
Mei Rendu said, "Wu Weilang, you need to make your words clear. It is true that there is a dispute, but it was Master Miao who was magnanimous and took the initiative to give up the treasure first. We didn't know who would get it, which is why the dispute arose."
"The way you're talking makes it sound like we're robbing you. We're not robbers."
Zhou Long nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Li Xian smiled and said, "That's how it should be."
"What do you mean 'take it as it is'?" Iron Bear sneered. "That's the truth. You brat, you have no sense of propriety when you speak."
Intentionally nitpicking.
Li Xian, however, was not annoyed: "I will not dwell on the facts. Master Miao, since everyone has come for the treasures and rare items, please take them out first."
Miao Xichun nodded and took out a bead. It was azure blue, about the size of a finger joint, round and smooth like jade, emitting a faint, ethereal glow.
"So this is what treasures and rare items are like." Li Xian was amazed when he first saw it.
He said cheerfully:
"It truly is a rare and extraordinary treasure. If such a treasure falls into the wrong hands, someone will inevitably be dissatisfied. If this fighting and scrambling continues endlessly, wouldn't Qingning County descend into chaos?"
"Therefore, we must resolve this dispute completely today."
Hu Shengnan sneered, "If the method you're referring to, Lord Wuwei, is to divide the treasure into four parts and take one from each, then there's no need to utter such nonsense."
Li Xian laughed and said, "I would never use such a vulgar plan. It would not only waste the treasures, but also only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. My plan is much more thorough, and I guarantee that you will all be convinced."
Seeing his confident declaration, everyone became suspicious, wondering, "Could it be that he really has a brilliant plan that can satisfy us?" They all fell silent, waiting to observe.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Xian had completely taken control of the rhythm of the game.
From a distance, Lin Aoshan looked on with approval and couldn't hide her curiosity, asking, "Little Sun, can you come up with a plan that Wu Weilang will use to guarantee everyone's approval?"
Lin Guolong said, "I guess... he wants to invite all the forces to establish a contract here. There is only one treasure, and each family will take turns managing it."
"Really?" Lin Aoshan asked doubtfully, she didn't think so.
Inside the martial arts school.
Li Xianchao Tie Xiong said, "This must be Senior Tie Xiong of the Xiongpi Martial Arts School. You have run the school for decades and have countless disciples. Your martial arts skills have suppressed Qing Ning, which is extremely powerful. Your heroic spirit is unparalleled, and I admire you."
Upon hearing this, Tie Xiong was overjoyed, thinking that this treasure was unique. No matter what brilliant schemes this boy might have, they would ultimately end up in the hands of one person. Did this boy's flattery mean he believed Tie Xiong to be the strongest and that entrusting the item to him was the safest option, ensuring he could maintain order?
Iron Bear calmly puffed out his chest.
The others' gazes shifted, becoming wary of Tie Xiong. Li Xian changed the subject, looking at Zhou Long, and said, "This is Zhou Long of the Man Shen Martial Arts School. His strength is as fierce as a dragon's, and Master Zhou has an extraordinary demeanor. In terms of cultivation, he is undoubtedly the best in Qingning County."
Everyone was puzzled. First they brought up Tie Xiong, then Zhou Long. What was the point of all this back and forth?
Li Xian then said:
"This must be Hu Shengnan of the Red Copper Sect. Speaking of Sect Leader Hu, she is truly a woman who is no less capable than any man, and she is extremely admirable. Although she is a woman, she makes many men feel ashamed of their own. Her shrewdness and cunning are unmatched."
"Mei Rendu of the Snake Walk Sect, the leader of the Mei Gang, has dominated Qingning for decades. He has connections everywhere, possesses great supernatural powers, and is extremely powerful. The leader of the Mei Gang is truly a hero, no less so than the previous ones."
"Kid, get to the point!" Tie Xiong yelled. He was greatly displeased to hear Li Xian praising him one by one.
Li Xian said, "Although all of you heroes are very powerful, in my opinion, none of you are qualified to take control of this treasure."
"You brat, how dare you!"
The four men shouted angrily in unison. They had just heard the praise and thought, "If this boy recommends me, I will take advantage of his good words and seize the treasure." But after the round, they all realized that they had been tricked.
“Interesting, very interesting,” Lin Aoshan said with a smile.
This drama is more exciting than expected. She patted Lin Guolong on the shoulder and said, "Little Sun, look, the situation is now entirely in his hands."
Li Xian smiled and said, "Don't panic, everyone, I haven't finished speaking yet."
The crowd looked unfriendly, but they unconsciously fell silent.
As Li Xian walked, he said leisurely, "I know someone who is most qualified to take this treasure."
"Who!" the four exclaimed in unison.
"This man is as handsome as Pan An. In terms of martial arts, while I wouldn't dare call myself invincible, he's more than capable of suppressing all of you. As for talent and character, well, you lot are just country bumpkins; comparing yourself to him is truly an insult. And as for status and position..."
“That man is a dignified military officer from Qingning County, who is in charge of matters of the martial world. You are all people of the martial world, so you are probably inferior to him.”
Li Xian smiled and walked up to Miao Xichun, took the "precious pearl" from his hand, gently wiped it with his sleeve and examined it, then put it into his clothes.
"Gentlemen, this person is both far away and right before our eyes."
"It is I."
A moment of silence followed, then the four men laughed in fury. They'd gone through all this trouble only to find themselves back at the same time. They'd set up this situation with the intention of killing two birds with one stone. Li Xian's words were nothing short of a slap in the face.
It was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
Extremely arrogant!
Enraged, Iron Bear roared, "You brat, you're courting death!" His body covered in needle-like black hairs, he slapped his palms towards Li Xian. His martial arts were incredibly powerful; the moment he struck, a series of sharp cracking sounds echoed through the air, as if the air itself had been shattered.
Li Xian neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but instead raised his hand to catch it. The Iron Bear was a large man, nearly two meters tall, and possessed immense strength. Yet, Li Xian easily caught it.
Li Xian narrowed his eyes and kicked out. Tie Xiong thought to himself, "Not good," and tried to parry. But he underestimated Li Xian's brute strength; taking this kick sent his internal organs flying several feet away as if they had shifted...
He was thrown straight out of the martial arts gym.
In an instant, Li Xian's ferocious aura erupted. Just moments before, he had been speaking eloquently and had a very pleasant temperament. Now, he was completely different; his gaze was cold and piercing, and an indescribable pressure enveloped everyone.
The overwhelming power to subdue an army was beginning to show. Li Xian sneered: "I know all your thoughts better than anyone. Since you're all here, let's deal with each of you one by one."
He stepped forward, his black blade unsheathed, flashing a streak of dark light as he struck at the poisonous plum blossom.
Mei Rendu immediately parried, not daring to be careless. He circulated his inner energy rapidly, his shoulders draped in rainbow colors, his chest pounding like thunder, attempting to resist Li Xian's might.
Li Xian sneered, his swordsmanship characterized by horizontal and vertical slashes, requiring no elaborate variations. Perfect swordsmanship, simple yet unsolvable.
In a short while, Mei Rendu was covered in several marks. He roared, "This kid is formidable! Let's join forces to defeat him!" It was clear that Li Xian was not just spouting nonsense, but possessed extraordinary skills.
Hu Shengnan and Zhou Long looked grim. They exchanged a glance and attacked from the left and right. Li Xian, multitasking, raised his palm and struck out from mid-air…
The energy surged, mixed with water mist, just like a real, massive wave crashing down. Hu Shengnan was thrown several feet away, her eyes wide with shock. She truly couldn't believe that a sixteen-year-old boy could possess such martial arts prowess.
The skills he has displayed are at least perfect.
"You brat, die!"
Iron Bear's chest was dented, with a clear shoe print. At this moment, his blood and qi surged like a rainbow, and a rosy glow erupted from his shoulders. He plucked the fur off his body and, with an extremely refined technique, threw it out.
The Bear Fist Technique is indeed formidable. It is an advanced martial art, requiring practitioners to frequently soak in medicinal baths to cultivate a body covered in bear fur. In combat, the smooth bear fur can deflect physical force and be used for defense.
If outnumbered, one can pluck a hair and shoot it, catching the enemy off guard. The bear's fur is actually poisonous and as fine as needles; when it shoots down in a dense, overwhelming barrage, who can dodge it?
Li Xian laughed, "Well done!" He held his knife in one hand, entangled with Zhou Long and Mei Rendu. With his other hand, he reached out towards the empty space.
Although his double pupils were not obvious, his eyesight was excellent, and the trajectory of the black-haired flying needles was clear. Li Xian used the "Cloud-Searching and Mist-Grabbing" skill, his long and nimble fingers pinching, picking up, grabbing, and stroking, and caught all the flying needles.
Not one less, not one more.
This composure was awe-inspiring. The arrogant martial arts school owners and gang leaders all stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
It's more than just underestimating the enemy.
This is like a mantis trying to shake a chariot, or an ant trying to shake a tree; it's overestimating one's own abilities and courting death.
Li Xian laughed, "Here you go!" and shot the black feather in his hand. With two "whoosh" sounds, it pierced Iron Bear's eyes. Iron Bear howled in pain, and his eyes went blind.
Li Xian incorporated the characteristics of the "Gentle Breeze Leg" into the "Great Luo Blade." One technique was perfected, the other reached its pinnacle. The combination of the two made him even more unpredictable.
The Great Luo Sword Technique, with its sweeping and dynamic movements, possesses a unique quality akin to a gentle breeze. It is impossible to defend against, leaving the opponent unaware of being struck.
Several tearing sounds were heard.
Zhou Long and Mei Rendu suffered repeated knife wounds and were forced to retreat, unable to withstand the onslaught.
Li Xian leaped into the air, looking down from above, and swung his sword mid-air. The two men were even more unable to defend themselves, and each of them was slashed three times on their faces.
Finally, he kicked the two men away, sending them crashing heavily against the wall. Although they were still conscious, they could no longer muster their energy and were no longer able to fight.
A rainbow appeared on Li Xian's shoulder, his aura as imposing as a rainbow. Suddenly spotting a fish that had slipped through the net, he swung his black knife.
Seeing that things were not going well, Hu Shengnan tried to escape, but before she could take a few steps, a flying knife shot out and pierced through her right arm, pinning her to the wall.
