Chapter 370 Lone Blade
"Even if you weren't allowed to break in, we've already fought our way this far. Who are you?"
Unable to win an argument with Xiao Di, Fang Duobing unleashed his full power, firing at the suddenly appearing Feng Qing.
"you!"
Feng Qing was so angry that his face turned ashen. He leaped forward to fight Fang Duobing, but was deflected by Li Lianhua's sword.
"Your opponent is me."
"The Junior Master's Sword?"
Feng Qing looked at the sword and arrow in front of him with some surprise. He looked up at Li Lianhua for a while and exclaimed in surprise, "Li Xiangyi, you're not dead?"
At this moment, Li Lianhua felt utterly absurd that an unfamiliar enemy could recognize him so instantly. It was clear how much of his former acquaintances truly respected him.
Feeling suddenly struck by a blow, Li Lianhua attacked without saying a word, brandishing her sword.
The weapons clashed, and several exchanges took place in the blink of an eye.
Fang Duobing, who was watching the battle, was filled with admiration, which was entirely due to his trust and respect for Li Lianhua.
It should be noted that at this time, Li Lianhua had just been cleared of the residual poison and her strength had recovered to less than 30%, yet she was already fighting Feng Qing to a standstill and even quickly gained the upper hand.
"The best in the world is the best."
Fang Duobing praised him, and the others nodded in agreement.
Facing Li Lianhua's attack head-on was particularly difficult for Feng Qing, who had witnessed Li Xiangyi's era as the world's number one. But today was his first time fighting him, and he had a clear understanding of Li's strength.
Before he could think any further, Li Lianhua quickly knocked the sword out of his hand. Feng Qing wanted to retaliate, but suddenly felt weak all over and fell to the ground like everyone else in the hall.
"You poisoned me?"
Feng Qing looked at Li Lianhua in shock. Before he could speak, Li Xiangxian walked up with a smile: "You've gotten a great deal with this exclusive muscle-softening powder."
"you……"
Feng Qing was clearly unable to accept this reality. Fang Duobing followed closely behind, giving him a disdainful look: "We said we're here to cause trouble, so of course we'll do whatever's convenient. Besides, you can't beat us in a one-on-one fight."
Feng Qing was about to vomit blood from Fang Duobing's smugness, but before he could say anything, he suddenly heard a "thump" from behind.
Everyone looked up and saw a dark figure fall from the roof beam.
"Sect Master!"
Feng Qing was alarmed, and Lan Yan slowly said, "Indeed, the medicine is still effective."
Li Xiangxian blinked innocently, then asked hesitantly, "So, that's Shan Gu Dao?"
Seeing the man in black struggling to his feet, revealing his face, Fang Duobing felt a mix of emotions, including a bit of embarrassment for him: "It really is you..."
He was supposed to be the mastermind, and he had been upset for a long time about his uncle being a bad guy, and he had mentally prepared himself for it. But when Shan Gu Dao appeared, Fang Duobing felt an absurd sense that the reality did not match his imagination.
Where's the prestige? Where's the prestige of the mastermind behind this? Taken down with just a muscle relaxant?
"Li Xiangyi...you're really lucky to be alive..."
Dan Gu Dao reluctantly got up, staggered to the throne at the top and sat down, as if that would truly make him high above everyone and able to look down on them.
"Shan Gu Dao." Li Lianhua looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression. Although he had made many preparations beforehand, seeing Shan Gu Dao appear unharmed in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.
What are those ten years of his life worth? Isn't it ridiculous for Shan Gudao to watch him tirelessly searching for his remains?
"Not even calling him 'Senior Brother' anymore?" Shan Gudao sneered, even though he knew they were in grave danger. But his resentment towards Li Xiangyi made him stubborn.
"You are not worthy to be my senior brother, nor worthy to be Master's disciple."
"Heh," Shan Gu Dao scoffed, "Li Xiangyi, you've finally revealed your true colors. You look down on me, and your master looks down on me too, but he's devoted to you, hahaha..."
Dan Gu Dao suddenly burst into laughter, and his manic behavior gave Li Lianhua a bad feeling. He asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
“Master was so worried about you. Back then, I only told him that you, Li Xiangyi, were besieged by the Golden Mandarin Duck Alliance in the East Sea, on the verge of death. Unfortunately, Master was in seclusion at the most critical moment of cultivation. In his anxiety, he suffered a qi deviation and went mad…”
"Single Blade!"
Li Lianhua's forehead veins bulged as he heard this. He held his sword to Shan Gudao's neck, leaving a bloody gash. Shan Gudao, however, didn't care and continued to provoke him.
"Master really loves you. To save you, he disregarded his own injuries and insisted on passing on all his life's skills to me so I could save you. As for himself, he ended up exhausted and dying, hahaha..."
Li Lianhua's eyes were filled with tears, her blood rushed to her head, and her breath was thick with rage. She glared at Shan Gudao through gritted teeth and said, "Shan Gudao, you are not worthy of being called a human being!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, and she angrily questioned, "Why? Our lives were saved by Master and Mistress. Why? Why won't you even spare Master?"
It's all because of you!
Dan Gu Dao glared at Li Lianhua, showing no remorse whatsoever, "Because of your arrogance and haughtiness back then!"
"fart!"
Fang Duobing roared angrily, "It's clearly your jealousy that's causing this! You're unrepentant and trying to shirk responsibility!"
Seeing Li Lianhua heartbroken, Shan Gudao felt a surge of satisfaction. He then turned to Fang Duobing and sneered, "Fang Duobing, is that it?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Is this how Tianji Manor teaches you to talk to your father?"
Dan Gu Dao casually uttered a thunderous remark, startling Fang Duobing so much that his eyes widened: "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Whether it's nonsense or not, go back and ask your mother. Fang Duobing, you are my son, and I order you to kill Li Xiangyi!"
Dan Gudao hadn't taken this son seriously before, and naturally wouldn't expect him to actually do anything now. He was just deliberately causing trouble for them because he didn't like them.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Fang Duobing's fingers were icy cold as he gripped the Erya sword tightly and staggered backward, only to be stopped by Lan Yan who pressed against his back. "Don't panic."
"Brother Lan..."
In a panic, Fang Duobing no longer cared about titles; he only wanted to seek help from Lan Yan.
"It's just a desperate struggle. You were born of your mother, what does it have to do with him?"
"That's right, I have nothing to do with him."
Seeing that Lan Yan had persuaded Fang Duobing with just a few words, Shan Gudao glared at him resentfully: "It was you! You blind fool! You ruined my plan! I should have killed you when you appeared beside Li Xiangyi! If it weren't for you..."
"Shut up!"
Li Lianhua pushed her sword forward a little further.
“Hua Hua, it must be tiring to hold a sword all the time,” Lan Yan said, his expression unchanged, even with a smile on his lips. “Today, your senior brother will teach you another lesson: what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit.”
"Shan Gudao, even without me, you would not have succeeded, Xiang Xian."
Lan Yan stepped aside, and Li Xiangxian stepped forward in unison, looking at Shan Gudao with a mocking expression: "Shan Gudao, is my identity useful?"
