Chapter 464: Chapter 12: The World’s Tenth Greatest Assassin, Reemerges in the World!

The elderly woman seemed to have some martial arts skills as well. She forcibly tried to bypass Li Guanyi, determined to reach out and grab Shaking Light. Her eyes almost shot out beams of light, having lived for so long, she had never seen such a beautiful and pure girl.

Such a person, if turned into a Blood Elixir, could surely...

The clear ringing sound of the sword shattered her dreams.

Li Guanyi’s fingers pressed against the handle of the sword, and in an instant, the pine pattern ancient sword was drawn from its sheath.

The cold light circulated, and with just a tap on the old woman’s chest with the hilt of the sword, she almost blacked out, her fifty years of accumulated Inner Strength directly shattered, as if in a mere moment she had been struck by one of the Mo School’s crude siege machines.

Her internal organs almost shifted out of place, and she was on the verge of vomiting blood.

The hilt struck her chest once, and the sword returned to its scabbard.

Li Guanyi did not immediately draw his sword to slay her.

Inside Zhenbei City, there were thirty thousand mighty soldiers from Chen Country; he did not intend to kill someone in the street.

He merely remembered the old woman’s face. The white-haired old woman fell to the ground and could not get up for a long time. Her peak Second Layer Heaven Inner Qi, bolstered through consuming Elixir Pills, seemed like nothing under the blow from the young Taoist’s sword hilt.

As she caught her breath, she saw Li Guanyi holding his sword, preparing to back away. But seeing that the girl was astonishingly beautiful and noticing that the young Taoist was clad in a plainly washed, almost white Taoist robe, she deduced he was just someone with some martial arts skills but no significant background.

Thinking of the extent of her mistress’s desire, she bit her lip and started to shout:

"Someone, help!"

"This Taoist is abducting Lady Hua Rui’s foster daughter, he’s kidnapping her!"

Her shouting almost made Li Guanyi burst into laughter.

Looking at his own Taoist robe, he understood the reason. Often people do judge others based on their attire, looking down on them disdainfully. If he had still been in his luxurious robes and carrying the Frost Battle Halberd, as the Spear Madman, this person would have definitely not dared to make such a claim.

Now, however, he did seem to be the proverbial tiger that had fallen to the plains and was bullied by dogs.

Lady Hua Rui had some reputation in Heroic City, and with her shouting like that, unknowing martial artists were filled with righteous indignation, readying their weapons. Suddenly, the atmosphere of the street became fraught with killing intent, and dozens upon hundreds of martial artists appeared.

The sounds of swords being drawn echoed all around.

The syrup shop owner’s face turned pale with fright and retreated.

Shaking Light looked up: "Let’s go."

Li Guanyi reached out, grabbed the girl’s hood, and pulled it down: "Keep it on."

"Sit tight."

The young Taoist stood up, lifting his sword. The old woman’s eyes gleamed with triumph, but when Li Guanyi looked up, the Red Dragon and White Tiger two Dharma Forms dispersed from above the Nine Cauldrons, and his murderous aura suddenly spread in all directions.

Ripples seemed to sweep through the void.

This handsome and elegant young Taoist was truly a top-tier killer of recent years.

Battling and slaying a hundred at Ghost Market, killing Tantai Xianming, storming through Guan Yi City in armor.

He destroyed a branch of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect.

The cumulative sin of killing in the hands of these dozens of martial artists might not even surpass his.

An ordinary martial artist simply couldn’t compare; the White Tiger Dharma Form roared softly.

Rushing out suddenly, invisible to the naked eye, the roar of the White Tiger at this overlord level made all those martial artists who had drawn their swords against the young man stiffen, their scalps tingling, feeling as if there was a fearsome tiger roaring endlessly in the void, inducing fear.

Down the street, horses neighed in terror, collapsing in unison; weapons fell to the ground incessantly, chaos ensued with people and horses tumbling, chickens flying and dogs leaping.

The old woman’s face turned pale.

Several martial artists acquainted with the old lady came forward, and Li Guanyi wielded his sheathed sword with ease, knocking them to the ground. A martial artist made a desperate attempt, grabbing Li Guanyi’s sword scabbard, only to find that despite pulling with all his might, he couldn’t even unsheathe the sword!

The girl slowly sipped on her sugary drink while the young Taoist dealt with these martial artists single-handedly.

Li Guanyi knew no swordsmanship, using only his arms as the staff and handle, and the sword as the halberd’s edge and spear point. With wide-open and domineering moves, in mere moments, he had injured all the martial artists, none of whom could approach within three feet of him, much to the astonishment of onlookers.

Suddenly, a laughter sounded.

"Hold on, take it easy."

Ribbons flew in, wrapping up those few martial artists who had attacked Li Guanyi. With one easy pull, they were all flung away, tumbling and crashing, causing a commotion. Li Guanyi, with sword in hand, looked up slightly to see a group of young martial artists.

The woman who intervened had hair like a cloud and wore a veil, with only her enchanting eyes revealing her spirited nature. With just a few gestures, she had knocked over those few people, who apparently had some status in the Martial World. The other martial artists also stopped their actions.

Li Guanyi heard the surrounding conversations.

Most were about the woman.

The Young Pavilion Master from Piaomiao Pavilion, daughter of the Gongsun aristocratic family, named Feixue, ranked seventh amongst the most beautiful women in the Martial World and also listed on the Famous Hero List. Li Guanyi thought of old Mr. Chen Chengbi, the living Buddha, and Elder Zu’s old friend, that Miss Gongsun. He slightly lowered his gaze and sheathed his sword.

Gongsun Feixue dismounted swiftly and walked over quickly. She looked at the old woman and said, "Just now, we clearly saw this Taoist and lady entering the city together."

"You old woman, how dare you falsely accuse someone?!"

The old woman’s face turned pale, stammering, and then people who proclaimed to be from Lady Hua Rui’s household came to apologize, continuously bowing and saying that the old woman, being aged and decrepit with poor eyesight and mistaken recollections, might have been confused, and came to offer apologies.

"This old nanny is Lady Hua Rui’s wet nurse, she has cared for Lady Hua Rui since childhood, please pardon her on her behalf."
