Chapter 29 A Fire
As soon as Shen Jiyue opened her mouth, only uttering the word "you," she felt a deadly danger instantly envelop her.
The bleeding throat felt as if it were being locked onto by a venomous snake, instantly turning icy cold.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Shen Jiyue swiftly slashed her long sword at Li Xiuyuan, who was rushing forward.
Several sword energies erupted instantly, slashing straight towards Li Xiuyuan's throat, dantian, legs, and arms.
Amidst the stench of blood in the Li family mansion, sword energy stirred up gusts of night wind, whistling towards Li Xiuyuan.
Faced with the sword energy, Li Xiuyuan released all his internal energy and blood without reservation. For a moment, he could clearly feel that his body was covered by a silvery-white protective film.
This is precisely the ultimate manifestation of the Iron Shirt technique.
Li Xiuyuan's speed did not decrease at all. Just as Shen Jiyue unleashed several sword energies that slashed at him, Li Xiuyuan was already close, his long sword thrusting out with overwhelming sharpness.
Shen Jiyue immediately covered her neck with her hand and stepped back.
But Li Xiuyuan was faster, and he didn't aim for Shen Jiyue's neck, but rather for her abdomen, which had just been slashed.
"Pfft..."
The silver sword, imbued with a sharp, gleaming light, easily pierced the open wound in the abdomen.
"You, you go to hell!"
The moment she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, Shen Jiyue gritted her teeth, contracted her inner energy, and revealed a murderous intent on her cold, young woman face.
With a roar, Shen Jiyue swung her right-hand longsword and slashed down with all her might at Li Xiuyuan's neck.
Sensing the chilling sword energy hurtling toward his neck, Li Xiuyuan immediately tried to draw his sword to dodge.
Although I have maxed out Iron Shirt skill.
However, even a seventh-rank Shen Jiyue could break through the defense.
Moreover, the neck is different from the arms and chest; if a sword were to cut an artery in the neck, it could be life-threatening!
What?
But just as Li Xiuyuan was trying to pull out the long sword that had pierced Shen Jiyue's dantian, he felt as if the sword was stuck in his hand.
Even with sudden force, it only trembled slightly, but could not be pulled out.
A seventh-rank martial artist can indeed seal off their entire body's flesh and blood with their internal energy.
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan could already feel the sharp sword energy slicing open his neck, and the intense pain was accompanied by a burning sensation.
It was his own blood...
In a flash, Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, placed his hands on his longsword, and met the descending sword strike.
He used all his strength to forcefully push the long sword that was stuck in Shen Jiyue's lower abdomen wound deep inside!
"Hiss... Pfft!"
With Li Xiuyuan's full effort, the sharp sword pierced through the flesh sealed by the energy and plunged deep into Shen Jiyue's lower abdomen.
In an instant, it even pierced through Shen Jiyue's back.
At the same moment, Shen Jiyue's fierce sword landed steadily on Li Xiuyuan's neck.
Immediately, a stream of hot blood flowed from his neck.
Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and drew his longsword, a spurt of blood immediately spraying onto his body.
Shen Jiyue kept backing away, letting out a scream and almost falling over.
He stared at Li Xiuyuan in astonishment.
"Is it not over yet?"
Take advantage of your weakness to kill you!
Li Xiuyuan quickly applied a hemostatic agent, endured the excruciating pain in his neck, and lunged forward.
The long sword in his hand pierced through Shen Jiyue's right hand, which was holding the sword, once again, like a hurricane.
"what……"
Sheathing his sword, he plunged it into Shen Jiyue's chest as she staggered and was about to fall.
"Pfft... Pfft..."
Faced with Li Xiuyuan's swift sword attack.
Shen Jiyue was completely at the mercy of the chopping block.
Because just now, Li Xiuyuan's sword, which pierced through her abdomen, went directly through her dantian.
Therefore, at this moment, facing Li Xiuyuan's sword, the energy she had been sealing off had completely dissipated.
"puff……"
Looking at the blood-stained young face before her, Shen Jiyue could feel her own life slipping away.
She never imagined that she, a dignified seventh-rank official and the city lord of Yuanguang City, would one day fall into the hands of an insignificant young man.
He let go, allowing the long sword that had pierced Shen Jiyue's chest to remain embedded in her body.
Li Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed Shen Jiyue's neck, which was still gushing blood.
"Are you going to use that mysterious technique that absorbs internal energy on me?"
Shen Jiyue's trembling voice rang out.
She was powerless to resist. With her dantian and heart pierced, she knew she was doomed!
"You know this martial art?"
Looking at Shen Jiyue right in front of him, Li Xiuyuan had to admit that Shen Jiyue was quite good-looking. Although she was almost forty years old, she was very well-maintained.
She was definitely a great beauty when she was young.
It's a pity he's about to die!
Shen Jiyue shook her head slightly and looked at Li Xiuyuan, saying:
"You killed me today, along with Lin Shuang and the others. This matter cannot be kept secret at all."
You are destined to face endless pursuit.
The martial art you possess was brought from the Shangguan family by Shangguan Xiuhong. The Shangguan family has been investigating it for many years, but Shangguan Xiuhong has hidden you and your father very well.
"We haven't found Yuan Guangcheng all these years, but now..."
At this point, Shen Jiyue immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her aura weakened once again.
"After this incident, your secrets will inevitably be completely exposed, pfft... You, you can't escape!"
Shen Jiyue looked at Li Xiuyuan, who was grabbing her, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.
"Are you done talking?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled calmly.
"Since you've given me some useful information, I'll let you know the name of this technique!"
"This technique is called the 'Absorption Technique'..."
As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan immediately activated the Absorption Technique with all his might. As the technique was activated, the strength in his hand gripping Shen Jiyue's neck increased unconsciously.
"Ugh... Pfft..."
At this moment, Shen Jiyue clearly felt that the powerful internal energy that had been continuously dissipating from her pierced dantian was now flowing towards the hand that was grabbing her neck.
At the same time, a suffocating, cold darkness completely enveloped her!
Amidst the howling night wind, the clear sound of bones cracking rang out.
Li Xiuyuan slowly released his grip.
The city lord of Yuanguang City rolled on the blood-soaked ground like a lump of mud.
The night was thick, and the moonlight was cold.
He reached out and pulled the long sword from Shen Jiyue's body.
He strode into the dilapidated library, then packed up several cultivation manuals and some silver notes he had found earlier.
Stepping out of the library and looking at the corpses lying haphazardly before him, Li Xiuyuan could feel the intensely strong stench of blood with every breath.
But in just a few days, Li Xiuyuan had already gotten used to the smell of blood.
He had already planned how to deal with the Li family before he even made his move.
That meant hanging the corpses of Li Cangshan and the others on the city wall of Yuanguang City.
But now, Li Xiuyuan suddenly felt that it didn't make much sense.
As for killing the city lord Shen Jiyue, it was not originally part of Li Xiuyuan's revenge plan.
But who told her to go and get involved herself?
He drew his sword directly at the burning oil lamps in the Li family mansion, and kicked the torches on the ground to various parts of the mansion.
Soon, raging fires broke out everywhere.
Amidst the crackling flames, Li Xiuyuan strode out of the Li family home...
