"Li, Li Shidao?!"
"That’s the legendary Li Shidao?"
"Having just sent away a monster, another monster among monsters arrives..."
"It’s over, we just killed Li Village Maiden, and now we’ve bumped into Li Shidao. If he wants to avenge Li Village Maiden, aren’t we left with no way out!"
"I, I’m not involved! It has nothing to do with our Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall, it was people from Foolish Underworld who killed Li Village Maiden!"
"Right, right! What Foolish Underworld does has nothing to do with our Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall!"
"Shut up! Foolish Underworld enforces the law impartially; without them, do you think you would still be alive now? Repaying kindness with ingratitude? It’s just a matter of life and death, at worst we’ll just fight it out with this so-called Li Shidao!"
"I [Village Scythe Martial Arts Hall] am willing to share life and death with the great people of Foolish Underworld!"
"Disciples of my Liuyun Martial Arts Hall too!"
The arrival of Li Shidao had a significant impact on everyone.
Some quickly declared their stance, some were hot-blooded.
The atmosphere on-site suddenly became tense.
Even Zhuo Xueer next to them subconsciously clenched her fists.
She didn’t know how many times she had run into Li Shidao.
But it’s not that she lacked courage, it’s just... the difference in strength was too great!
Even if she had never seen Li Shidao make a move, just the evaluation of being able to compete with Li Shiquan was enough to keep people far away.
Everyone was on edge, except for Fang Yu, who, on the contrary, relaxed a little.
The person opposite was one of his own, what was there to worry about.
In the silent hush, under everyone’s gaze, Li Shidao slowly walked out from amongst the proud children.
He stood still, sweeping his gaze across everything.
Bodies all over the ground.
Those of the Li Family, of the martial arts schools; the horrific scene was taken in by his eyes.
It wasn’t until his line of sight fell on Fang Yu and the body of Li Village Maiden on the ground that he suddenly paused.
The corners of his mouth twitched subtly, wanting to smile, then immediately held back.
Yet his eyes no longer moved, firmly locked on Fang Yu’s body.
In his gaze flickered barely discernible feelings of admiration and approval, and then he stepped forward.
A sense of alarm went through Fang Yu’s heart.
Brother Qing, isn’t this too obvious?
Shouldn’t we go through some procedures first?
Don’t let others realize our relationship...
Fang Yu understood that Brother Qing had definitely come for him.
But others didn’t know that.
"Li Shidao is here!"
"He’s heading straight for the big shot of Yangshen Hall!"
"It’s bad! It looks grim for Lord Zhuo Xueer, probably more bad luck than good!"
"What do you mean ’more bad luck than good’, it’s almost certainly a death sentence! That’s Li Shidao; the people of Yangshen Hall, I’m afraid, can’t take even one strike from him!"
They all thought Li Shidao was moving towards Zhuo Xueer.
That calmness back in his eyes, when viewed by others, signaled determined killing intent, fiery anger, and a bone-chilling coldness.
As if at any moment, he might surge forward and cut down Zhuo Xueer and that young man together.
Even Zhuo Xueer suddenly shielded Fang Yu, whispering in a low voice.
"If it comes to a fight later, you find a chance to run away!"
To run, not to fight.
Zhuo Xueer hadn’t even started fighting, but she already admitted she was no match for Li Shidao.
Her body was trembling slightly; obviously, she had no confidence in facing Li Shidao.
Yet her body still rigidly protected Fang Yu, showing no sign of backing away.
Zhuo Xueer’s reaction caused the approaching Li Shidao to pause for a moment.
The hidden smile in his eyes deepened, pausing for a moment, he glanced sideways at his close guard Li Lan, as if with a faint sense of showing off.
However, this emotion was not visible to others, only Li Lan slightly curled her lips and turned her face away.
His gaze returned, and Li Shidao once again took a step forward.
Step!
Step!
Step!
The site was dead silent, only the stepping sounds of Li Shidao echoed.
Everyone held their breath, no one dared to make a sound.
If Li Village Maiden was someone they could have a fight with under the leadership of people from Yangshen Hall.
Then Li Shidao was simply waiting for death on the spot, without any room to resist.
It was not until this moment that Fang Yu truly felt the oppressive force of Brother Qing’s disguise, how strong it really was.
Step!
As the final step landed, Li Shidao had already stood in front of the two.
"What a coincidence, meeting you several times in one day. Tell me, thirteen little sister, did you kill her?"
"...I did."
Zhuo Xueer gritted her teeth in response.
She didn’t know if it was because Fang Yu was behind her, but she had an impulse to protect her junior, mustering the courage to glare at Li Shidao.
Zhuo Xueer didn’t mention anything about Li Village Maiden slaughtering martial arts schools or massacring the innocent.
Because she knew, it was meaningless.
Both sides were clear about the current situation.
If the other party had appeared here, they must know what had transpired.
If the other party was concerned about her status as someone from Yangshen Hall, they wouldn’t strike.
On the contrary, if they did not care at all, today would likely be unfavorable.
At this moment, everyone was holding their breath, and the two people on stage, once they started fighting, would need to make a decision instantly, whether to flee or to fight,
In the focus of everyone’s attention, Li Shidao suddenly spoke lightly.
"Well killed."
What... what?
With these words, Zhuo Xueer was totally dumbfounded.
Well killed?
Could this guy be speaking sarcastically?
Zhuo Xueer was stupefied; they had killed someone from the Li Family! And a Direct Lineage Disciple at that, yet... it’s okay?
Wait a minute!
Direct Lineage... Could it be because...
Zhuo Xueer had a thought, while those around her were already stunned.
It seemed that Li Shidao didn’t plan to pursue the matter further? There was no need to fight??
In everyone’s confusion, Li Shidao walked to the body of Li Village Maiden and spoke indifferently.
