Chapter 434: Chapter 352: No Longer the Ignorant of Wu (6000-word large Chapter asking for monthly ticket) _1

As Li Xuan stepped into the threshold of The Third Gate, countless rays of blades flew towards him from all directions, blocking out the sky and shrouding the earth, dense as clouds.

At first glance, all types of hidden weapons were present, including flying needles, coin darts, throwing arrows, flying forks, bell-metal castanets, and throwing knives, among others. Controlled by machines and talisman arrays, most of these weapons possessed speed and killing power far surpassing that of the firearms and crossbow arrows he had previously encountered.

They all gathered together, their combined aggression resembled the ferocious onslaught of numerous post-apocalyptic cannons each firing thousands of rounds per minute, launching a curtain of projectiles in all directions.

Some, though less powerful, were invisible and unpredictable, making them hard to detect.

Li Xuan disregarded them all, simply intensifying the power of his magnetic field, continuing to warp all metal. Occasionally, non-metal components of the hidden weapons attempted to pierce his defenses, but he remained unfazed. He was able to deflect them, reduce their power, or propel them away using the metal hidden weapons under his control.

He also had the Demon Qilin to assist him, this fierce beast had now transformed into a red lightning bolt.

—In its path, regardless of how solid an object might be, it pulverized them into dust with a single strike.

It rampaged freely within the courtyard, sweeping everything in its path. The formation of the numerous Shenqi Union Wu cultivators was shattered in an instant. The others were forced to dodge haphazardly, thus halving the dense swarm of hidden weapons that were aiming for Li Xuan.

At this moment, only the spells of Spellcasters were able to approach within a meter of Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan, moving like bamboo in the wind, swayed unpredictably. He condensed the Shi of the sword around him and shattered all the spells.

A thousand blows only increased his resilience, as he weathered the winds from the east, west, south and north—

This "bamboo sword Yi" also formed countless ’bamboo leaves’ as thin as a cicada’s wing in the air. Though they seemed weak, fluttering down with the wind, anyone touched by these ’bamboo leaves’, no matter how thick their protective Gang Qi or powerful their magical instrument, would have their defenses easily slit by these leaves, and then freeze into ice sculptures in a blink of an eye.

—This was the first time Li Xuan tried to combine the Cold Law Knife Technique with the bamboo Shi of his sword, concentrating his cold energy and elements onto those ’bamboo leaves’. The effect was surprising, with the destructive power against the group far outstripping other knife techniques.

In the main hall, Wei Shumeng who was watching this scene from afar, unknowingly started to sweat.

The figure who swept everything before him outside was gradually giving him the chills.

He thought, how could a Confucian cultivator of the seventh house level be this strong?

Why are those hidden weapons ineffective against him? Why is his sword Shi so strong?

Also, his steed—that must be a Kylin, right?

Wei Shumeng realized, they not only underestimated Li Xuan’s background, they may have also underestimated Li Xuan’s personal strength.

The face of the man in green armor was as cold as ice: "Arrogant fool!"

"Indeed, a real arrogant fool. Brother Wei said this boy is unruly and looks down upon everyone. He couldn’t have been more spot on."

Bai Zheli of Shenji Building, looked coldly at the young man who was slowly approaching from outside the hall: "Union Chief, if old man Muyin doesn’t come, it’s alright. With the foundation of Shenqi Union, we can always hire several heavenly level individuals as long as we’re willing to spend. But if we can’t even get rid of this adolescent punk today, the reputation of Shenqi Union built over hundreds of years will be destroyed overnight."

"That’s exactly it! Today, no matter what, we can’t back down."

Another young man in the hall who was also dressed in garb of a civilian official but had an expression cold as iron said: "Shenqi Union pays tribute to various forces and provides for the heavenly level cultivators with tens of millions worth of silver coins every year, isn’t it because there are no true powerhouses in our union? Don’t they refuse to show us respect for this reason?

But if we only had three to five fourth-tier ’Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Magnet Miejue Needles’, who in the world would dare to act arrogantly in front of us? Who would we need to make tribute to? Regardless of the cost, we must get the Peacock Secret Method as soon as possible!"

"Shut up!"

The man in the green armor thought, how could I not understand these things? His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging: "Mr. Lei, you deal with this boy!"

"This boy’s strength is extraordinary, I may not be able to take him down by myself."

This was an old man standing next to the man in the green armor, he looked at the outside of the hall with a cold expression: "I need assistance and we must not concern ourselves with his life or death! I can’t show mercy."

"Then disregard his life!"

The man in the green armor took a deep breath, his eyes bulging with anger: "Kill him!"

Wei Shumeng felt his heart tighten slightly, thinking, these people are insane!

But, thinking about the ’Great Five Elements Yin-Yang Magnet Miejue Needle’, Wei Shumeng gritted his teeth and did not attempt to stop them.

He knew that at this point, he could not stop them.

Meanwhile, outside the hall, at the moment the man in the green armor finished speaking, exactly twenty people from the four directions took up their black iron tubes, brandishing them at Li Xuan. These were the ’Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles’ that could fire a thousand rounds, their countless small holes at the front end resembling a beehive.

Hum!

Countless needles were sprayed out at the same time, their powerful needle momentum and the speed as fast as transient light made it impossible for Li Xuan’s magnetic field to completely distort them.

Li Xuan’s face was calm as he used ’Superconductivity’ to instantly flash fifty meters away, well beyond the range covered by the ’Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles’.
