During the bitter battle, the formation kept changing. Snake Formation, Tiger Trap Formation, Dragon Trap Formation. There were no flaws in the changes. The same formation was like heaven and earth compared to the one used by the military disciples.
Three hundred people silently waved their spears. Li Qingshan roared and charged, but he couldn't break out of the encirclement. There was also Han Tieyi constantly commanding the formation. If he was alone, he might have a chance, but with two people, he couldn't advance any further.
In the blink of an eye, Han Qiongzhi's True Qi was exhausted. She was sweating profusely. Fighting against a military formation alone wasn't something a normal Qi Practitioner could do. Seeing a row of spears stabbing towards her, she couldn't stop them. Her waist tightened, and she was pulled back by Li Qingshan.
"Hold me tight!"
Li Qingshan carried her on his back. The situation was even more critical.
Han Qiongzhi leaned on his back. Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind coming from behind. As he turned around, three spears stabbed into his body.
"Qingshan!"
Li Qingshan broke the spear and pulled it out. The tip was dyed red. With the power of the entire formation, even the Bull Demon Forges its Hide couldn't block it. It was lucky that it wasn't pierced.
Seeing this, the soldiers all attacked Han Qiongzhi at the same time. This made Li Qingshan curse them for being despicable.
"Put me down!" Han Qiongzhi's heart ached. These were her father's personal guards. As long as they gave the order, no matter what enemy they faced, they wouldn't show any mercy.
"Don't move!"
Han Qiongzhi struggled, but Li Qingshan held her back. These people really wanted to kill. They didn't treat Han Qiongzhi as a lady at all.
Han Qiongzhi immediately did not dare to move. Because of her movement, a few more wounds appeared on Li Qingshan's body. She leaned against his back firmly as her eyes reddened uncontrollably. She murmured, "Qingshan."
… …
Li Qingshan held the broken spear and supported his body. His True Qi was almost exhausted. His body was full of wounds. Behind him, Han Qiongzhi was unscathed.
A hundred of his personal guards were heavily injured, and only two hundred remained. However, he still firmly maintained the formation and did not relax at all. At the same time, he was astonished and shocked. He had never seen such a tenacious enemy before, not to mention that the enemy was in such a disadvantageous situation. He also used this short stalemate to recover his strength.
At this time, a human figure flew up, immediately triggering the army formation's killing intent. Spears and halberds came from all directions. The assassin came. Just Now he could see clearly that the person was actually Han Qiongzhi. Turned out she had recovered some of her zhenqi on Li Qingshan's back. Immediately she flew out to meet the forest of spears.
"Qiongzhi!" Li Qingshan flew up as well, but it was already too late. Seeing that Han Qiongzhi was about to be pierced by the spear, Han Tieyi swept across the sky and thrust his spear forward like a dragon. It pierced below Han Qiongzhi's body. With a hook and a flick, it grabbed her shoulder and brought her out of the formation.
"Qingshan!" Han Qiongzhi stretched out her hand, only to see a relieved smile on Li Qingshan's face.
"Retreat."
Han Tieyi ordered. The personal guards immediately retreated. In the blink of an eye, there was no one around Li Qingshan. Behind Han Tieyi, the gate to the inner city suddenly opened. He asked loudly, "Does this count as passing the test?"
"At least you passed my test." Han Tieyi let go of Han Qiongzhi and walked to the side of the gate.
Li Qingshan strode forward. The personal guards lined up on both sides and paid respect to him. Someone shouted, "Bro, you're amazing!" An injured person supported his comrade. "Yeah, you're really something!"
Li Qingshan grabbed Han Qiongzhi's hand. The two of them walked into the inner city together.
"Where's the gift?"
"Can I keep it for myself?"
"No!"
…
"General, Qiongzhi and I are truly in love. I'm willing to take her as my wife."
Han Anjun sat upright at the front of the hall. Li Qingshan went up, bowed, and said boldly.
Han Qiongzhi's face was flushed with joy and shyness.
"No!" Han Anjun's voice was resolute and full of unchangeable determination.
"What?" Li Qingshan was surprised. They had already come this far, but it was still not enough?
"Why? Old man, explain it to me! "Han Qiongzhi couldn't bear it anymore. She stepped forward and pointed at Han Anjun's nose.
"There's no why. No means no. It's getting late. If there's nothing else, let's go!" Han Anjun stood up and turned to walk into the inner hall.
"Stop right there! We didn't come here to listen to your opinion after suffering untold hardships!"
Han Qiongzhi snatched the gift from Li Qingshan's hand and threw it in front of Han Anjun. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. She had never seen such an unreasonable father. She pulled Li Qingshan's hand and rushed out of the door, brushing past Han Tieyi.
Han Tieyi was slightly stunned. He walked into the door and saw Han Anjun bending down to pick up the scattered pastries on the ground. He said without raising his head, "What are you doing here?"
"I ordered the troops to retreat. I disobeyed the military order. I'm here to accept my punishment!"
"Even you dare to disobey me." Han Anjun straightened his body and put a piece of pastry in his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed. "It tastes good. This girl, she threw it away just like that."
"Why didn't you agree with them, Father?" Han Tieyi lowered his head deeply. He was extremely puzzled.
"You also think that I'm unreasonable? I don't always do the right thing. "
Han Tieyi raised his head in shock. He could not believe that these words came from his father's mouth. However, he saw a rare smile on Han Anjun's face.
"I wholeheartedly want to groom all of you into talents. I don't want to become an obstacle in your hearts. Even that girl seems to do as she pleases, but when she finds a man, she still has to come to my door and ask for my permission. Why does she need my permission? Tieyi, you have to understand that before the generals and their sons, we are first and foremost cultivators. "
Han Tieyi left thoughtfully. Han Anjun returned to the hall. Cao Gan was holding the zither as he carefully tuned it.
"General, that son-in-law of yours is too ruthless. He almost broke my zither. However, his strength is really impressive. Why don't you recruit him into the Han Faction? He will definitely be a great help in the future. You refused him not just to teach Young Miss and Young Master a lesson, right? "
"I can't hide anything from you. That kid is no ordinary person, but he will never submit to someone else. On the path of cultivation, there are only companions, not lovers. If we don't share the same ideals, how can we last a century? We're united because of love today, but we'll definitely part because of love in the future. The title of husband and wife only adds to the shackles. "
"Heh, that's fair enough. When two balls of fire are gathered together, it seems like they're blazing, but it's difficult for them to last for long. In my opinion, it'll be difficult for them to last a few years. Young Miss will definitely understand your thoughts in the future. "
… …
The two of them left the general's estate, but they did not return to the Hundred Schools of Thought. Instead, they arrived in Clear River city, in one of Han Qiongzhi's courtyards.
Han Qiongzhi remained silent the entire time. Li Qingshan had no idea how to persuade her. "I think it's still because my cultivation is insufficient. Once I cultivate for a few more days, I'll destroy your father's personal army. He won't have anything to say then."
"Are your wounds fine?" Han Qiongzhi finally asked.
"I'm fine!" Li Qingshan's body had always been tough. After using a few more Water Healing techniques, he had already made a full recovery.
"Then let's get married right now!"
