The Descending Tiger!
Yang Anzhi suddenly thought of the nickname he had originally looked down on, the Descending Tiger, Li Qingshan. Now, what was lunging at him was not a human, but a ferocious beast baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Having lost his treasured sword, he was like a child, unable to fight back. He retreated rapidly.
The chilly wind swirled up from behind him once again, taking his life.
Li Qingshan no longer had any qualms. He swung the Ox Demon's Fist of Great Strength as he pleased, unleashing a powerful gust of wind. It forced Yang Anzhi to dodge everywhere. Little Ann, who danced about in the darkness, was everywhere, vicious and insidious.
One was tough and the other soft, one yang and one yin. They worked together wonderfully.
Yang Anzhi was impressive as well. Although he was injured, he still used his supreme movement technique to move about and dodge. However, a few more wounds appeared on his body, and the blood on his back flowed even more profusely.
The smell of blood was so heavy that even regular people could smell it.
"Where is Li Qingshan!?" Suddenly, there was an explosive bellow from downstairs. It was filled with powerful inner force, so loud that it was like a clap of thunder.
Over a dozen torches rose up, illuminating the upper floor.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. He signaled to Little Ann, and the dagger immediately flew back into his sleeves. He did not want anyone to know about this secret for now.
Only then did everyone see Yang Anzhi's appearance. They were all stunned speechless. Before the torches were extinguished, Yang Anzhi had been unstoppable, almost about to kill Li Qingshan. This was in line with their understanding. No matter how powerful Li Qingshan was, he was still a first-rate figure in the Qingyang society of martial arts.
However, in the blink of an eye, Yang Anzhi had actually been defeated, and he had been defeated so miserably.
Yang Anzhi recovered his sight as well. He retreated to Yang Jun's side. His face was pale, and his expression was vicious. He wanted to skin Li Qingshan alive. He grabbed Yang Jun and broke out of the window.
Li Qingshan said that it was a pity, but he didn't care too much. He stepped onto the windowsill and looked down, "Li Qingshan is here!"
At first glance, he saw the black bear's tall and strong figure, and the black bear also saw him. Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
"Xiong Xiangwu!" Liu Hong exclaimed. Although his foundation was in Qingyang city, he had met this vicious person once before.
"The Black Wind Mountain Bandits have entered the city!" Someone shouted. First, the aristocrats in the restaurant fell into chaos. Then, the shouts spread far and wide.
Li Qingshan gazed over from the tall building. All he saw was that the entire Qingyang city seemed to be in a state of panic.
Xiong Xiangwu also stared at Yang Anzhi in shock. The two of them had received the news together and rushed over to Qingyang city. One wanted revenge, while the other wanted to steal the spiritual ginseng.
The Dragon's Gate sect used their superior movement technique to arrive first. They wanted to take the spiritual ginseng and avoid any accidents. Li Qingshan had been silenced by the Black Wind stronghold, which only demonstrated that Yang Anzhi's "I didn't want to harm you in the first place" was just bullshit.
However, Li Qingshan's strength had exceeded everyone's expectations.
Yang Anzhi said, "This kid's martial arts are no weaker than yours or mine, and he still has dirty tricks up his sleeve. Be careful, stronghold master." Originally, he did not want to have too much to do with the Black Wind stronghold, but now, all of Li Qingshan's enemies were his friends.
"The Dragon's Gate sect has colluded with the Black Wind stronghold to attack Qingyang city. Everyone here is a witness!" Li Qingshan used true qi to project his voice into the distance.
Yang Anzhi shuddered. He ground his teeth. "Li Qingshan, I will never forgive you!"
That single sentence stripped the Dragon's Gate sect of their reputation as a righteous sect, reducing them to the status of accomplices of bandits.
"If you're bold enough to do it, then don't be afraid of others talking about it! Alright, alright, alright. Stronghold master Xiong, you've delivered yourself to me. You've saved me quite a bit of trouble. " Li Qingshan wrapped his hand around Xiong Xiangwu, trapping him within. Taking advantage of the defeat of the Dragon's Gate sect, he said that with great pride.
"How bold of you!" Xiong Xiangwu's face changed. He leapt up and flew towards Li Qingshan. With his huge body, his movement technique was actually quite impressive.
Just when Li Qingshan was about to strike, a figure flashed past him. Liu Hong used the "Charge of the Iron Cavalry" to forcefully clash with Xiong Xiangwu in the air.
Xiong Xiangwu landed heavily on the ground, while Liu Hong used the force to return upstairs. Blood surged through both of their faces.
Xiong Xiangwu was furious. "You!"
Liu Hong said, "Stronghold master Xiong has come to Qingyang city to make a mess. Aren't you showing me no respect?" Just like how every wild beast had their own territory, the people of the jianghu treated this with even greater importance than wild beasts. They would never allow others to trespass on it. The actions of the Black Wind stronghold had already displeased him as a local tyrant.
Of course, if he were a regular person, Liu Hong might not have been willing to stand up for Xiong Xiangwu when he had mobilized so many people. However, Just Now, Li Qingshan had already demonstrated the strength to make others help him.
The second boss, who was dressed like a scholar, said with a sunken voice, "The Iron Fist is opposing our Black Wind stronghold. Aren't you afraid of the destruction of your entire sect?"
Liu Hong called out, "Where are the disciples of the Iron Fist?"
With that, figures surged out from the streets and alleyways, surrounding the restaurant. They were all disciples of the Iron Fist. They had rushed over after hearing the news. With a single call, hundreds of people responded, and their bearing surpassed Li Qingshan's.
The reason why the people of the jianghu could behave so arrogantly in their own territory was not just because of their martial arts, but also because of the powerful organisation behind them. Even if Xiong Xiangwu and Yang Anzhi worked together, they would have to think twice.
Yang Anzhi suddenly said in a loud voice, "Sect Master Liu, don't you want to know what I'm here for?"
Liu Hong raised his eyebrows, showing an interested expression.
However, Li Qingshan frowned, but he could not stop Yang Anzhi from speaking.
"It's for a stalk of spiritual ginseng that appeared in the Bailao Peak. As long as a martial artist absorbs a little of its medicinal properties, their martial arts will improve greatly, and they will have a high chance of advancing to the Innate Realm. Now that it's in his hands, his martial arts can improve so quickly." Yang Anzhi pointed at Li Qingshan, his face full of viciousness.
He had revealed the location of the spiritual ginseng in front of hundreds of people, and the news would definitely spread like wildfire. At that time, countless people in the jianghu who longed for the spiritual ginseng would gather like beasts smelling blood. No matter how strong Li Qingshan was, he would be torn to pieces.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily looked at Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan lowered his eyebrows and did not say anything. He knew that it was futile to defend himself. His martial arts undoubtedly confirmed Yang Anzhi's words.
The worst-case scenario he was worried about had happened, but his heart did not become flustered. Instead, it was unexpectedly calm.
"I'm already so old. I don't want to improve my martial arts and dominate the martial arts world!" As Liu Hong said so, his eyes were searching Li Qingshan's body. Obviously, he did not mean what he said. There was no one in the martial arts world who did not want to improve their martial arts.
"The spiritual ginseng also has the effect of prolonging life. Don't you care, Sect Leader Liu? As long as you give the order to capture this brat, the spiritual ginseng will be yours. At that time, Stronghold Master Xiong and I will only seek revenge. We will not fight for the spiritual ginseng. Besides, we won't be able to fight for it even if we want to. "Yang Anzhi demonstrated the terrifying aspects of a sect leader other than martial arts. As expected, Liu Hong was very tempted. Xiong Xiangwu's eyes also lit up. No one knew what he was thinking.
In the blink of an eye, it was Li Qingshan who faced everyone again. His eyes were calm, but his mind was anxiously thinking of a way to escape. He did not think that Liu Hong would have any sense of loyalty toward him. Wasn't the reason he was in such a situation because he believed in loyalty?
Of course, this was not a hopeless situation. As long as he was willing to give up the spiritual ginseng, he could naturally escape easily. However, he would not do that unless he had no other choice. The magical power of the Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers did not focus on Qi Refinement. The spiritual ginseng could be said to be the greatest guarantee for him to become a so-called "Innate Master."
The stalemate was broken very soon. Xiong Xiangwu bellowed out and flew up the stairs again.
Liu Hong lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. He did not move at all. At the very least, it was not impossible for him to make up his mind to watch from the sidelines or even kick him when he was down.
Yang Anzhi used this opportunity to apply some Golden Salve and control his wounds. He was about to strike.
Just as Li Qingshan was about to be surrounded by two great masters of Qingyang, his muscles tensed up. He was ready to strike.
