"We're fighting again. How many times is this this month?!"
The boatman watched the fight in the distance and shook the oar calmly, as if he was used to it.
This time, Li Xuan was a little bit confused.
Are the folk customs in Dongzhou so simple? !
A little fighting expert per capita?
Li Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Boatman, is this kind of thing common?"
The boatman shook his head and said: "That's not true. The main reason is that the imperial navy recently wanted to destroy the pirates in the Luanliu Sea area, which attracted many people from the rivers and lakes. I heard that these pirates were formed by the survivors of the previous dynasty, and there were treasures from the previous dynasty hidden inside. Many people want to come and see if they can get some benefits.”
"Now that Shuiyun City has gathered people from all over the world, the chaos is definitely more chaotic than before. There are more than a dozen fights like this happening every month, and the court can't control it."
'Remnants of the previous dynasty? ! Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.
He remembered that Empress Shen Xin was the descendant of the princess of the previous dynasty, and her entire family was executed for helping the remnants of the previous dynasty.
When he followed Shangguan Rou to suppress bandits, Shangguan Rou also encountered two remnants of the previous dynasty who were at the Grand Master level and attacked him secretly.
As a result, the two masters were beaten to death and injured by Shangguan Rou.
It seems that even though three hundred years have passed, the hatred of destroying the country still has not disappeared with the passage of time.
On the contrary, with the decline of Daqian, there are signs of recovery.
The boatman shook the oar and said: "Sir, the people in front of you are beating very fiercely. Let's wait here for a while. When the fighting over there is over, let's go over. Otherwise, it will be bad if we are affected. Miles."
"Okay." Li Xuan nodded.
He had already spent seven days, and he didn't care to wait a few more minutes.
However.
Just as he and the boatman were preparing to wait where they were.
Not far away, a burst of wild laughter broke out.
"Girls of the Chu family, I don't have time to play with you anymore!"
The words fell.
Boom!
A ship not far away exploded into pieces, sending up a large amount of black smoke.
Immediately afterwards.
A naked figure jumped into the water, like a fish, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Zheng!
A crisp sword sound suddenly resounded.
The sword energy billowed out and turned into a dragon, like the King of Hell demanding his life, and blasted into the river.
Boom!
The entire river surface suddenly rolled up into a sky-wide wave, which was several meters high, as if it was going to separate the entire river.
The surrounding ships were rolling with the constant rise and fall of the waves.
next moment.
A woman holding a long sword stepped on a wooden board and quickly walked out of the black smoke, looking at the rolling river with a gloomy expression.
Unfortunately.
But he didn't notice any trace of the escaping person.
'The inner energy transforms into form. This woman is quite capable. At least she is a warrior at the late stage of the Xiantian realm. Li Xuan's eyes flashed.
The innate realm is divided into three realms: opening the dragon's spine, building the foundation, and Qimen.
As the realm improves, the inner Qi will also undergo different changes.
In the early stage of the Xiantian realm, when the Dragon Spine is opened, the inner energy can form an inner energy shield on the body surface.
In the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, during foundation building, the inner Qi can be released outward. The more powerful the inner Qi is, the farther the release distance is and the greater the power.
In the late stage of the Xiantian realm, the Qimen and inner Qi can take shape and produce different attack effects!
The woman not far away can not only transform the inner energy into shape, but her power is not weak. Even in the late Xiantian realm, she can be regarded as a master.
'This woman looks to be in her twenties, but her cultivation is so advanced. It seems that her background is extraordinary. Li Xuan thought to himself.
Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for Jianghu people without roots and sects to cultivate to the late stage of the Xiantian realm.
Not to mention at the age of 20 or so.
after all.
At the late stage of the Xiantian realm, one can already be called a first-rate master in the arena.
Just when Li Xuan was thinking.
Boom——
The water in the river ahead suddenly exploded.
Rising into the sky with the flow of water.
A figure emerged from the water, like a shark, carrying a powerful inner energy, and flew towards Li Xuan's ship.
"Haha, Chu Qingyi, if you want to catch my white shark in the waves on the water, you can practice for another ten years."
The figure sneered, raised his hand, and struck Li Xuan and the boatman with a palm.
The palm force is powerful and heavy, as thick as a mountain, as if a huge stream of water is pressing down on it.
This person actually wanted to kill someone and hide in the boat!
"Sir, spare your life."
Seeing this, the boatman was so frightened that he put his head in his hands and trembled, not daring to resist at all.
Seeing this figure, he was about to jump into the boat!
Whoosh!
One by one, the golden needles suddenly flew towards this figure.
"Huh? Fa Xiu?!"
The figure's pupils shrank slightly and he was startled.
He roared angrily, and the inner energy around his body surged out like a tide, forming a thick defensive shield.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
After these golden needles broke through half of the inner energy shield, they stopped.
"Hmph, at this level, you still dare to do something?!"
Seeing this, the figure suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his expression became fierce. His futon-sized palms stirred up gusts of wind, and he suddenly grabbed Li Xuan.
His inner energy actually formed a huge white shark around him.
This grab was like a white shark biting him, a sense of madness and bloodthirsty suddenly erupted!
Seeing this scratch, Li Xuan's head was about to be scratched to pieces.
Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged. He turned his palm and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his hand.
After mana was poured into it, a bronze-colored light suddenly shot out from it, blasting towards the grabbing figure.
This bronze-colored light was extremely strange. It actually penetrated the inner energy shield of the figure directly and hit him.
"What's this?!"
The figure was suddenly startled, feeling his consciousness dim, and his whole body was completely out of control.
Even the inner energy shield can no longer be maintained!
Just when the figure was surprised.
A sound like a dragon's roar resounded.
This figure felt as if there was a flash of lightning in front of his eyes.
next moment.
Severe pain was felt all over his body, and large amounts of blood spurted out.
Bang!
The figure fell on the boat, all the tendons and tendons of his hands and feet were severed, blood flowed out, and he looked like he was breathing in but not breathing out.
'This Mu Chenxue's soul-fixing mirror is so easy to use. Even late-stage Xiantian realm warriors were caught off guard and immobilized! '
This was the first time Li Xuan used the soul-fixing mirror against an enemy, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
This soul-fixing mirror is worthy of being a spiritual weapon, it is indeed extraordinary.
Li Xuan put the soul-fixing mirror into the cave space, then turned to look at the shirtless man lying on the boat.
This man has a strong build, with perfect lines all over his body, and there are bulges on both sides of his abdomen, like fish fins.
It was obvious that he had practiced some kind of martial arts and had this kind of vision.
but.
At present, this man has been severely injured by Li Xuan, his martial arts has been abolished, and he can no longer use his abilities to the fullest.
Li Xuan squatted down and groped the man for a while.
Apart from some pills and silver coins, only one white bead was found.
'Huh? This bead is a bit unusual. '
Li Xuan poured his inner energy into it and found that there was a sound of rushing water inside the bead.
This is at least a magic weapon.
However, the specific functions still need to be explored.
"Shipman, let's dock."
Li Xuan glanced at the boatman who was still shivering.
From the time the man launched the surprise attack to the time Li Xuan dealt with the man, it only took a few breaths.
The boatman has not yet recovered from his fright.
Li Xuan also sighed silently in his heart, it turned out that he had become a great master without knowing it!
Even warriors at the late stage of the Xiantian realm can easily subdue them with a flip of their hands.
certainly.
He just took advantage of the soul-fixing mirror. In a real fight, although Li Xuan could win, it would not be so comfortable.
"Ah, don't kill me, don't kill me!"
The boatman still looked shocked.
Li Xuan stepped forward helplessly, lifted up the boatman, and said: "I have subdued the man. Hurry and row to the shore."
The boatman looked at the man lying on the boat like a dead dog and trembled with fear.
However, he had finally seen the wind and waves, and he quickly came to his senses. He immediately turned up the oar and headed towards the dock.
A quarter of an hour later.
The ship docked.
Li Xuan paid the boat fare and lifted the shirtless man off the boat with one hand.
at this time.
The woman who was fighting with this man just now came over quickly, cupped her fists and said:
"Chu Qingyi, thank you young hero for your help. This man's name is Langli Baisha Youchao. He is a gangster in this area. He has committed countless crimes. He has robbed several merchant ships of my Chu family. Today, I ran into them. I never thought that this thief is extremely cunning, and he actually has black water divine thunder and water-proof beads hidden in his body. If the young hero hadn't taken action, he would have escaped."
It turns out that these white beads are water-proof beads. Can they avoid water flow after use? ...Li Xuan's eyes moved, and he cupped his fists and said:
"My Excellency, Li Feiyu, came from Taihu Province. I didn't expect that this man was actually a gangster. No wonder he was so ruthless."
He deliberately spared this man's life just to be a favor to the woman named Chu Qingyi.
He had just arrived, and if he had a local to guide him, he could quickly understand the general situation in Dongzhou.
This is still helpful for him to find his external incarnation.
Chu Qingyi had a bit of the chivalrous demeanor of Princess Hongying, and she couldn't help but say:
"It turns out to be Brother Li. Brother Li has extraordinary strength. I admire him."
She just vaguely saw Li Xuan's move. Although it was a bit blurry through the river fog, she also saw the extremely fast sword light.
This kind of swordsmanship is already extraordinary and holy, and it is definitely a superior martial art.
Moreover, the person in front of him has already practiced this sword technique to perfection.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such power and be able to subdue a late Xiantian realm warrior in an instant.
Li Xuan said politely: "Thanks to Miss Chu for hurting this person first, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. Let Miss Chu handle this big thief."
Chu Qingyi waved his hand and said: "This You Chao is a wanted figure by the imperial court. He is rewarded with five thousand taels of silver and two third-grade elixirs. Since this You Chao is in Li Shaoxia's uniform, I cannot take such rewards. "
Li Xuan said: "Miss Chu intercepted this person first. I just took advantage. How can I monopolize all the benefits? Let's do this. Miss Chu will send You Chao to the government first, and each of us will get half the reward."
Seeing Li Xuan's generous behavior, Chu Qingyi felt a little good in her heart and said with a smile:
"In that case, let's go to the government together. I don't need to reward you with any silver. I just need to take a third-grade elixir."
You Chao, who was still slightly conscious at the side, couldn't help but vomit blood when he heard himself being pushed around like a commodity.
After all, I am also a warrior in the late stage of Xiantian realm. How have I ever been humiliated like this? !
However, his hands and feet were crippled, and even his tongue was pressed against him, so he couldn't even commit suicide.
When Li Xuan heard what Chu Qingyi said, he didn't refuse any more:
"Okay, I'm new to Dongzhou and I'm not familiar with the place. If Miss Chu wants to show you favor, I'll be the host. I'll treat Miss Chu as a thank you by inviting Miss Chu to a nearby restaurant for dinner. How about that?"
Chu Qingyi smiled generously and said: "Of course it's no problem, Brother Li, let's go."
…
An hour later.
Hefeng Restaurant.
Li Xuan and Chu Qingyi sent You Chao to the government, found him dead, and received the reward.
The government here is very generous, and there is no sloppiness at all. The elixirs and rewards are all presented one by one.
certainly.
The reason why it was so fast was probably because of Chu Qingyi's face.
From the conversation, we learned that Chu Qingyi was the eldest daughter of the Chu family, one of the five major families in Dongzhou.
The Chu family runs most of the iron ore business in Dongzhou and is really extremely rich.
It was nothing more than Chu Qingyi giving away the five thousand taels without even looking at them.
In a luxurious private room.
Chu Qingyi smiled and said: "Brother Li, when you first come here, you must try the fish and rice from Hefeng Restaurant. The aroma of this fish and rice is said to be able to linger around for three days, and it is the signature of this restaurant. .”
Li Xuan looked at the rich, fragrant and crystal-clear rice in front of him, and couldn't help but nodded:
"It's really rich and fragrant, and it's really exciting."
Chu Qingyi exchanged pleasantries with Li Xuan again, and then said:
"I don't know why Brother Li came to Dongzhou this time. My family is quite famous in Dongzhou. Maybe I can help Brother Li."
She had seen Li Xuan's strong strength, so she naturally wanted to make friends with him.
What I have been waiting for is your words... Li Xuan said: "I am entrusted with this trip. I want to go to sea and go to Penglai Island. I wonder if there are ships that can reach this island?"
When Chu Qingyi heard this, he shook his head: "Brother Li, you don't know. Recently, the imperial court wants to destroy pirates in the Luanliu Sea area. The sea areas in that area have been blocked, and Penglai Island is also among them. Ordinary merchant ships and passenger ships are afraid of There’s no way to go there.”
Li Xuan frowned and looked embarrassed: "This is troublesome. I'm still waiting to complete the agreement with my friend."
Chu Qingyi's beautiful eyes flickered and she said: "Actually, it is not completely impossible. Although the court prohibits merchant ships and passenger ships from entering to prevent pirates from taking advantage of the chaos to escape, or someone to fish in troubled waters, our Chu family can send a ship. I will go out with the Tianhai Navy to eliminate pirates, but this ship can only carry warriors above the Xiantian realm, and the number cannot exceed twenty people. If Brother Li needs it, I can fight for a place on the ship for Brother Li."
There was a pause.
She added: "It is rumored that this group of pirates in the Chaos Sea was formed by the remnants of the previous dynasty. The various islands inside contain endless wealth. With Brother Li's strength, if he lands on the island, the wealth inside will be easily accessible. .”
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said without changing his face:
"The competition for such a scarce spot must be fierce. Miss Chu, we are just acquaintances for the first time. You gave me such an important spot because you want me to do something for you, right?"
Chu Qingyi seemed to be afraid that he would not be tempted, so he offered a huge profit. It was obvious that he wanted something.
Chu Qingyi pursed her red lips: "Since Brother Li is so happy, I will tell you directly."
"I hope Brother Li can help me kill someone after landing on the island!"
