I still remember that sword strike from Chapter 62!
Upon witnessing this scene, Shangguan Hongtao was overwhelmed with emotion, and he was momentarily stunned.
Just a few days ago, he had seriously injured Li Xiuyuan with a single sword strike. If it hadn't been for that mysterious monk who appeared and stopped him that night, Li Xiuyuan would have been dead!
And just a few days later, his full-force sword strike was crushed by a single blow.
Furthermore, there is such a bizarre and mysterious art of disguise and transformation. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shangguan Hongtao would never have believed it even if he were beaten to death!
"snort!
"How could it be impossible? Shangguan Hongtao, I still remember that sword strike from the Li family's Xuanzhen Pavilion that night."
As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan grabbed at a middle-aged swordsman holding a long sword not far away.
With a "whoosh," the longsword that the middle-aged swordsman had been gripping was drawn from its sheath and flew into Li Xiuyuan's hand.
As soon as the words fell, Li Xiuyuan slashed down with his sword at Shangguan Hongtao, who had just coughed up a mouthful of blood and regained his footing.
A sudden chill arose.
The temperature on the first floor of the inn plummeted, and the sword energy, as if frozen, rushed directly towards Shangguan Hongtao.
Shangguan Hongtao trembled all over, and he immediately felt a deadly danger in the face of this sword.
More importantly, he discovered that he couldn't dodge the sword strike.
In a panic, Shangguan Hongtao immediately roared, his true energy surging into his longsword as he swung it to meet Li Xiuyuan's attack.
"Sizzle... Bang!"
With a single sword strike from Li Xiuyuan, icy sword energy permeated the entire first floor of the inn, and Shangguan Hongtao was completely locked within the sword energy.
The sword energy struck Shangguan Hongtao's longsword, exploding with a bang. Not only did the sword in Shangguan Hongtao's hand shatter, but the sword also severed his entire arm, causing blood to gush out instantly.
sizzle...
With a scream of pain, Shangguan Hongtao was sent flying, and a thick layer of white frost appeared around him as he landed.
The onlookers, their faces filled with terror, quickly moved away.
The next moment, everyone present turned their attention to the jade-like young master standing there in a wide robe, and they were all stunned into silence.
Li Xiuyuan swung his longsword to dispel the icy true energy covering it, then waved his hand.
"Thank you for your sword, brother!"
As the sound faded, the longsword clattered back into its sheath.
"No, it's nothing... Young Master Xiuyuan, I am Zhang Yang from the Zhang family. If you like it, I'll give you this Xuan Tie sword!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged swordsman immediately introduced himself and, with a smile on his face, was about to respectfully offer the food.
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand slightly.
"Hehe, that won't be necessary. You're so arrogant, aren't you? I'll remember you."
After saying that, Li Xiuyuan took a step forward and was already in front of Shangguan Hongtao, who was clutching his severed arm, looking at him with a pale face and full of astonishment.
"you……"
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan did not give Shangguan Hongtao any chance at all.
He reached out and grabbed at the air.
Under the influence of the Absorption Technique, Shangguan Hongtao trembled all over.
"No, Li Xiuyuan, you can't...you can't absorb my power, I...I..."
"Ah... what are you all standing there for? Kill him!"
At this moment, Shangguan Hongtao trembled all over.
Although he desperately wanted to protect his inner energy, he was utterly powerless to resist Li Xiuyuan's Absorption Technique.
He had no choice but to yell and order his men to take action!
At that moment, the guards who had just surrounded Li Xiuyuan took a step forward.
Li Xiuyuan snorted coldly, turned his head, and grabbed at the air with his other hand.
"what……"
"Young Master Xiuyuan, spare my life, I..."
"don't want……"
But at this moment, Li Xiuyuan didn't give these people any chance at all.
A few breaths later, all the guards of the Shangguan family collapsed to the ground, their faces pale and filled with despair, and some even fainted.
At this moment, Shangguan Hongtao was slumped down kneeling in front of Li Xiuyuan, his eyes filled with resentment and fear as he looked at Li Xiuyuan.
"You...you actually absorbed all my power, Li Xiuyuan, you will die a horrible death, you...please, spare me..."
Li Xiuyuan originally wanted to hear some potentially valuable information, but it was clear that Shangguan Hongtao hadn't grasped it.
He raised his hand and brought it down.
With a loud thud, Shangguan Hongtao's voice came to an abrupt halt, and his body went limp on the ground, no longer able to move!
The Shangguan family guards who had previously had their power drained suddenly trembled and shrank to the ground, staring in terror at the burly man not far away.
At the same time, everyone on the first floor of the inn was completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
They couldn't believe that Li Xiuyuan was even more formidable than the rumors suggested.
It was at this moment that Li Xiuyuan slowly turned his gaze to Shen Yan, who was standing there in a daze, having forgotten to escape.
It wasn't that Shen Yan didn't want to leave, but rather that the time it took for Li Xiuyuan to make his move and kill Shangguan Hongtao was too short—just a few breaths and a few words.
Shen Yan had never expected this.
In her opinion, even if Li Xiuyuan had cultivated true qi, he would only be at the initial sixth rank and would be no match for Shangguan Hongtao, not to mention the seventh and eighth rank guards of the Shangguan family.
Under siege, even if Li Xiuyuan had cultivated the divine skill that absorbed people's power, he would still be no match.
But what just happened was too fast, only a few breaths from beginning to end.
With Shangguan Hongtao's death, all the guards who came with him were rendered useless.
"What do you want? Li Xiuyuan, let me tell you, I am a member of the Shadow Pavilion. If you lay a hand on me, you will be relentlessly hunted down by the Shadow Pavilion!"
Seeing Li Xiuyuan looking at her, Shen Yan immediately trembled, her true energy surging as she looked towards the door and the window closest to her.
"Mr. Shen? What is your relationship with the Shen family?"
The Shen family?
Li Xiuyuan hadn't expected this, but now that he thought of the Shen family in Yunzhou City, whose power he had drained during the day, he realized...
The person from the Shadow Pavilion was also surnamed Shen, so I casually asked him a question.
"I am a member of the main branch of the Shen family, Li Xiuyuan. If you let me go today, I promise I will never oppose you again!"
Shen Yan stared intently at the handsome young man before her, unable to believe that such a young man, still bearing the traces of childishness, was the one who had slaughtered her family and had just casually killed Shangguan Hongtao.
Before this moment, Shen Yan had been skeptical of many rumors and information about Li Xiuyuan, but now, looking at that face with a slightly aloof smile, he was completely convinced.
A terrifying sense of danger enveloped him!
"The main branch of the Shen family, hehe... that's interesting, but it doesn't matter. Since you've already opposed me, then you'll only die!"
"After all, I've already killed several of your Shadow Pavilion members, one more won't make a difference!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiuyuan raised his hand and grabbed.
Suddenly, a violent suction force erupted from Li Xiuyuan's palm.
But to Li Xiuyuan's surprise, an accident occurred almost the instant he was about to unleash the Absorption Technique.
Suddenly, everything went black before Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
He immediately felt something wrap around and envelop his palm.
A deliberately hoarse voice rang in my ears:
"Damn it, Li Xiuyuan... I'll remember you. You just wait, my Shadow Pavilion will never..."
Before Shen Yan could finish speaking, Li Xiuyuan, who was wrapped in a black robe, unleashed his sword energy, instantly shattering the black robe into dust.
Turning around, I saw Shen Yan, dressed in black, already at the entrance of the inn.
At the same moment, Shen Yan also saw Li Xiuyuan.
His gaze immediately sharpened, his whole body trembled, and he quickly shut his mouth, gritted his teeth, and circulated his true energy into his legs. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
The black robe that had just covered him was the same robe that this person was wearing that had been able to block his energy absorption technique for a moment.
The fact that the black robe fragment in his palm still emanated true energy was enough to prove that this robe was no ordinary garment!
Li Xiuyuan sneered.
One can't help but admire that they are indeed people of the Shadow Pavilion, and they do have some tricks up their sleeves.
It seems that this Mr. Shen from Yingge Pavilion must have quite a few good things on him.
With a single step, Li Xiuyuan's figure blurred as he gave chase...
