Chapter 223: Chapter 196: I Seem to Have Forgotten Something (6000 words Chapter)_4

"I’m not interested in that. Considering your current situation, big brother, is it really wise to engage in martial arts?"

"My situation is different from yours. Back then, every bone in your body was broken, your entire body was limp. Most of my injuries are internal and from blades. Besides, you underestimate the recovery power of a war cultivator of the eighth level."

Li Yan glanced with a peculiar look: "For the past few days, haven’t I been studying the true meaning of Martial Law? I can assist you as well."

Li Xuan immediately understood his intent, realizing that this fellow was up to no good.

"No need to worry about it, big brother. This afternoon, I have to work a shift at the Liudao Division. If need be, I can ask Xiaowei for help."

Although both situations were arduous, there was a definite difference. One wanted to sincerely help him, the other plainly wanted to embarrass him.

"Tsk."

Li Yan clicked his tongue unwillingly and turned his attention to the ’Fumo Vajra’: "How about practicing with this biggy for a bit? It will be fun when there is someone to practice with."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan hesitated for a moment: "That can be arranged, but if there is any damage to this big guy, you will be liable."

He feared that this guy would retaliate intentionally, using his ’Fumo Vajra’ to vent.

This Organ Puppet is very valuable, worth more than a hundred thousand teals. Especially after being modified by Leng Yuro, even if its price is raised to two hundred thousand teals, it would still sell.

So even a minor damage to this puppet would upset him for half a day.

Li Yan waved his hand impatiently, "Alright! I will pay, can you cut the crap? Be quick."

Only then Li Xuan manipulated his Fumo Vajra to step in front of Li Yan, imitating a slight bow.

Li Yan returned the bow, then his body disappeared like a dimming flame, only to reappear above the Fumo Vajra’s head with a powerful blade descending toward the Fumo Vajra’s head.

Li Xuan was immersed in the battle when the housekeeper of Earl Chengyi’s mansion rushed in hurriedly, "Second Master, the imperial envoy has arrived from The Court, he mentioned that His Majesty’s reward for you has been granted."

On hearing this, Li Xuan was delighted, immediately forgetting about his puppet and Li Yan, and headed straight for the gate.

Li Xuan was very much looking forward to the reward from The Court. Despite the Jin Dynasty’s recent financial struggles, the rewards from His Majesty and Shaobao Yu for military achievements were still very generous.

Walking in haste to the front yard, Li Xuan stopped abruptly, as if remembering something.

He wondered what he had forgotten, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t remember.

Meanwhile, in the back yard of the Earl’s mansion, Li Yan was increasingly enthralled in his combat practice with the puppet, striking it harder and harder. His rusted muscles from inactivity were gradually warming up.

"Quite a strong opponent. I didn’t expect my younger brother to get such a fun toy."

The flame power on the sword gradually faded, and a thin layer of frost condensed on the blade.

"Watch out for the Yihan Saber!"

At that moment, Li Yan noticed that the puppet had lifted its great sword high above its head.

"Planning to use the Overheaded Mountain? Quite intimidating. But unfortunately—"

Li Yan coldly sneered, when the great sword descended, he placed his long sword horizontally over his neck.

The puppet’s Overheaded Mountain stance indeed had immense momentum, but he had found its flaw. As long as he could block this strike, the puppet’s entire chest and abdomen would be exposed to him, completely susceptible to his blade’s chopping.

At that moment, Li Yan noticed a tiny hole in the puppet’s knee.

What is that?

The idea barely flashed through Li Yan’s mind when he felt a thump in his lower body.

His face first turned red, then blue, and finally ghostly white. The searing pain was so intense, it momentarily deprived him of his ability to think.

In the next instance, he let out an incredibly piercing scream of agony and began to roll on the ground clutching his crotch.

"Li Xuan!!! You fucking bastard! Hell! Damn you to hell!"

His cries of anguish were so loud that even Li Xuan, who had already reached the gate, could hear it. He finally remembered what he had forgotten and cold sweat started to break out on his forehead.

He pondered carefully, remembering that Li Yan was supposed to be wearing armor. Since the two times he froze it, his big brother was more cautious about his personal protection.

Next, the ability of a war cultivator of the eighth level to withstand attacks and recover also differed significantly from those of low-level cultivators.

So his sister-in-law’s happiness should be alright, right? Probably?
