Chapter 266: Chapter 125: The Azure Dragon Seven Stars, Appear!_2

Li Guanyi lifted his sword.

The sharp weapon bestowed by the Emperor was still as keen as new.

The sword he had snatched was already so dull it was useless.

He discarded the thing, looked around, and someone handed him a knife. He turned to see it was a young boy. The boy spoke, using the Tiele language. It wasn’t just Central Plains people here; there were Turkic, Tiele, and Jiangnan people as well.

Li Guanyi seriously thanked him in the Tiele language.

The boy was stunned, his eyes wide as he quickly ran back to his original spot. Li Guanyi heard him stuttering to the children beside him, saying that someone from their tribe was here, that he believed his brothers would not abandon them, so they should believe as well.

There must be someone, hoping that you also live well.

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes.

He gripped a new knife, his body half drenched in fresh blood, and he said to the men in front of him, "Come on."

The youth stepped forward, a weapon in each hand.

The overwhelming torrents of the situation.

The air seemed filled with the roars of dragons and tigers.

Seeing this, the guards of the Netherworld Ghost Market all retreated in unison, a look of panic on their faces.

Marquis Bu Ye watched this scene from upstairs, his movements pausing with a drink in hand. These were merely hangers-on at the Netherworld Ghost Market. The Netherworld Ghost Market wouldn’t deal in human trafficking; they would take in orphans, but even in their eyes, a life should not be so cheaply sold.

The Netherworld Ghost Market always stayed out of the affairs of the surrounding black markets, neither lending a hand nor striking against them. Marquis Bu Ye turned his head and saw that someone had arrived.

"Ha, I see, who’s causing trouble!"

"Causing a ruckus on my turf, are you tired of living?!"

A big man charged over with more than twenty people. The big man had his jacket wide open, his eyes full of fury, and the twenty-plus people behind him wore armor and held crossbows in their hands. A glimmer of ’as expected’ flashed in Li Guanyi’s eyes when he saw that military horses were for sale; he believed armor and crossbows must be too.

They planned to keep Li Guanyi here.

The sale of armor, people, crossbows, and military horses was all too common in these chaotic times. Perhaps even the Emperor knew of it, but officially, even Elder Xue claimed the Xue Family had no armor—so long as nothing was exposed, everything was negotiable.

But...

The youth raised his head to look into the distance.

’Don’t doubt, Liu Ying, you must hurry.’

The big man’s gaze settled on Li Guanyi as he cursed:

"What kind of bumpkin, dog’s spawn!"

"Didn’t have a father to raise you? Daring to come make trouble on your grandpa’s ground!" In great anger, he waved his hand; the armored martial artists had already cocked their crossbows—not the handheld types that Li Guanyi could break with one punch, but powerful crossbows that could pierce through a layer of iron armor.

The big man surged forward, his presence commanding and overbearing, rich jin qi converging around him then wafting off his body before turning into armor. This was a martial artist of the Triple Realm, Li Guanyi’s pupils shrank slightly.

This was a state that, in the midst of chaos, could turn one into a general, yet here he was guarding the Ghost Market.

The big man charged, heading straight for the children and old people; a ruthless martial artist. If Li Guanyi dodged, he would pulverize the people he had saved into a bloody mess. Li Guanyi could not retreat. He slashed down with his sword, but the man dodged and his fist was covered with inner qi formed into a fist-guard.

This inner qi fist-guard looked ferocious, like a lion’s head.

The translucent inner qi left a clear streak of light in the air.

Li Guanyi exhaled sharply and threw a fierce punch.

The big man’s fist collided with Li Guanyi’s, their clothes snapping taut in an instant, all eyes glued to the two combatants. Then, they saw blood on Li Guanyi’s fist, which dripped to the ground, and the crowd cheered.

"Good, great!"

"Daring to make trouble in our territory!"

"Boss Cui, kill him, kill him!"

The surrounding crowd cheered, and Li Guanyi heard the lightly laughing voices of the dignitaries in hooded cloaks, as though saying, is he a Xue son?

But so reckless, for a few bumpkins...

Too foolish.

But the big man felt something was amiss; his fist felt like it had struck a mountain, shattering the rocks but also causing pain in his palm. Li Guanyi’s eyes lowered, the flame in his heart surging.

The Ghost Market guards surrounded him, while those hooded ’guests’ stood afar.

They were also prominent people of this world, who saw what had just occurred as normal, while finding Li Guanyi’s actions astonishing. Their idle chatter and gazes made Li Guanyi feel a bout of stifling frustration rising from deep within.

From Qian Zheng’s plight and that of his sister, to the vegetable farmers selling their daughter at midnight.

To the Imperial Palace eunuchs’ human trafficking black market.

All the events he had witnessed converged in his heart and then exploded into fire.

The youth stepped forward, initiating with a punch. The big man’s expression changed as he too punched out. Fists met in fierce combat, Li Guanyi’s robe whipped around, his fist bleeding, but the big man’s complexion was also off.

He had been slowly weakening Red Dragon Power to contend with the Imperial Physician.

But in this moment of agitation, unable to suppress the Red Dragon’s long chant, the Jade Liquid from the Jade Tripod kept falling down, Yue Qianfeng had said, his Red Dragon Power derived from the "Red Dragon Suppressing Nine Provinces" divine skill, now reactive from agitation.

Li Guanyi activated the "Six Void Four Union Divine Skill."

Opposing inner qi blasted towards him, wrapped in his own qi, then he struck out with a Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Shattering Jade Fist—in one punch, two, three. The surrounding cheers slowly waned, even the ’guests’ fell silent, and the air was filled only with the sound of clashing fists.
