Chapter 187: Chapter 138 Teach You Again!

"Red Fist?"

Yao San’s eyes glinted coldly, "So it turns out you’re an idiot."

He had originally been somewhat cautious, especially since Li Yan was the core of the opposing group of magicians and had even called for expert assistance. This level of capability and connections, even Li Hu had never been able to achieve back in the day. It was definitely not as simple as the intelligence had suggested. Therefore, even with a Jade Plate Suppressing Object for protection, he had used tactics, immediately recounting past events to lure Li Yan into a blade duel. By destroying his weapon, Li Yan would be forced to rely on spells. Magicians using spells was something he had seen before, even killed a few, and now that both sides had closed the distance, there was no time for spells.

He had escaped from the death row, and although controlled by Xiong Baodong’s poison and forced to follow orders, he valued his life more than anyone. After all, only the living had opportunities.

Yet, unexpectedly, Li Yan did not use spells, but assumed a boxing stance, which was both laughable and disappointing to him. He wasn’t some boxing grandmaster. To face a blade with fists was no different than courting death.

Thinking of this, Yao San no longer bothered with words, his feet burst forth with Hidden Energy as his arms swung to swiftly cut through chaos and utterly slay Li Yan.

Li Yan, too, stepped forward with Hidden Energy surging, his throat and chest vibrating, and uttered a True Word that sounded like thunder. This took Yao San by surprise. Although Li Yan’s Thunder Sound could not hurt anyone, the close proximity startled Yao San, making him mistakenly think his opponent was using a spell, and so his strike hesitated.

Meanwhile, Li Yan’s Fist Force changed from small and crafty to wide and powerful, his right palm swiping upward.

Lady Li’s words seemed to echo in his mind:

"Attack like fire, as if flames are surging upwards, to break through slashes!"

Yao San’s right blade chopped down, sure to hit the palm.

Li Yan changed his move just in time to close the distance.

Bang!

A muffled sound resounded as Yao San’s right wrist was struck by Li Yan, though the blade stayed in hand, his arm lifted away, exposing an opening.

Li Yan seized the opportunity with his left hand swiping.

Clang!

The blade in his hand flashed.

A sleeve blade?

Yao San sneered coldly and was about to withdraw and slash.

Li Hu’s sleeve blade could intimidate others but not him; it merely forced them to guard, easily broken.

However, before he could move, his entire body stiffened, eyes filled with fear. He felt a cold force pierce into his body directly, chains clattering in his ears, and his consciousness blurred.

In that brief moment, Li Yan’s left hand pressed against Yao San’s chest and with a flick.

Ding!

The Eight Trigrams Jade Plate hanging on Yao San’s neck shattered simultaneously.

Li Yan smirked coldly, retreated rapidly, and cupped his fists slightly,

"Li family, sleeve blade!"

Of course, this was not a sleeve blade at all.

In the instant he made his move, the Soul Hook had already penetrated the opponent’s body. Once the Soul Hook was deployed, the opponent’s Divine Soul was restrained, naturally immobilizing them, allowing his sleeve blade to easily pierce the heart. As for the opponent’s protective Jade Plate, it might fend off yin souls, but the Soul Hook bypassed it, locking onto the soul by entering the flesh.

The Soul Hook would need to be used sooner or later; rather than letting people guess and find weaknesses, it was better to hide it within a sleeve blade technique. He had tested it; ordinary divine skills couldn’t detect it.

At this moment, Yao San’s Divine Soul, unrestrained, regained consciousness, looking down at his bleeding chest, his face full of unwillingness, breath faint, gritting his teeth:

"That wasn’t... a sleeve blade..."

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, said indifferently, "You have to be alive to talk; didn’t I already say..."

"Let me teach you that once more!"

Yao San, though wanting to speak, quickly lost his consciousness, collapsing to the ground with a thud, utterly motionless.

Only then did Li Yan turn around, picking up the twisted Guan Mountain Blade, cursed under his breath, and glanced at the double blades on the ground, picking them up as well. Such material was extraordinary; reforging them into new blades would definitely be useful.

As for the shattered Eight Trigrams Jade Plate, he didn’t bother at all.

Just as Crimson Yaksha said, some things, whether you pick them up, buy them, or they even fall from the heavens, if the original owner isn’t dead, you’ll never hold onto them comfortably.

It’s always been like this.

That Jade Pendant, Xiong Baodong valued highly as a treasure against magicians. If taken, he would undoubtedly be relentless in reclaiming it.

Better to destroy it, letting them suffer in silence.

...

"Won?!"

In the distance, Lu Gongfeng was somewhat incredulous.

He hadn’t expected such a clean and tidy victory.

"Oh, how did he win?"

Beside him, Master Tie was also curious.

He knew Yao San, though only at the peak of Hidden Energy, his blade technique was sharp and cunning, countless same-level experts had fallen by his hand. And he also had Xiong Baodong’s convenient Suppressing Object, unable to use spells to kill...

Only Lu Gongfeng could see clearly, so naturally, they asked him.

Lu Gongfeng also puzzled, said, "That Brother Li seemed to use a short blade with his left hand, a bit fast, Yao San couldn’t dodge at all."

"It’s a sleeve blade!"

Sha Lifei immediately shouted, "It’s his Li family’s ultimate skill; back then, Li Hu’s sleeve blade was renowned throughout Guanzhong, haven’t you heard of it?"

Lu Gongfeng was stunned, shook his head slightly.

He was familiar with matters of the Mystical Sect, not this pugilistic world business.

"Sleeve blade?"

Master Tie was rather incredulous.

He certainly knew what the sleeve blade was all about.

"Yeah, the sleeve blade!"

Sha Lifei nodded affirmatively.

On the other side, Xiong Baodong’s face was exceedingly gloomy, turned to whisper to someone beside him, "Go, retrieve the item."

"Yes, gang leader."

A man swiftly departed.

Meanwhile, Li Yan also started to return.

Seeing the double blades in his hand, Xiong Baodong’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Kid, you can take the blades, but what about my item?"
