In front of the Opening Mountain Martial Arts School, Li Zhao was casually instructing his subordinates to move the ores.
His elder brother and the others were worrying too much. Chu Xiu was probably scratching his head as to how to deal with his own family. How would he have the time to find trouble with him?
Just as Li Zhao was thinking this, he saw a young man in a brocade robe and wielding a goose feather saber at the other end of the long street, leading a group of martial artists in an aggressive manner.
Li Zhao frowned and immediately recognized the person in front of him. It was Chu Xiu, whom he had seen several times before.
However, the current Chu Xiu and the Chu Xiu in his impression were really two different people. His aura was completely different.
Chu Xiu glanced at the carts of ores and said indifferently, "You want to leave after taking my things? Third Young Master Li, aren't you a little too relaxed?"
Li Zhao laughed and said, "Chu Xiu, aren't you a little too arrogant? Your things? I bought these ores from Dojo Master Ding. When did they become yours, Chu Xiu's? "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Li Zhao, since you dared to buy this batch of ores, you should know about the internal affairs of the Chu clan. There are some things that you can't meddle in. I have no enmity with you. Do you really want to incur enmity with me over this batch of ores?"
Hearing this, Li Zhao's expression immediately became gloomy. "No enmity? Chu Xiu, your memory is a little too bad. Back in Yuan Bao Town, you killed my subordinates, which is equivalent to slapping my face. Have you forgotten this matter so quickly? "
To be honest, Chu Xiu really had forgotten about this matter.
At that time, he had just transmigrated, and the memories of his two lives had fused together. It just so happened that some blind people had come knocking on his door. Naturally, Chu Xiu had been a little heavy-handed.
However, those people were only minor characters, so it didn't matter if they were killed. With the Chu clan's strength, the Li clan wouldn't dare to make trouble for them for a servant. However, Chu Xiu hadn't expected that those people were actually Li Zhao's people.
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "They're just a bunch of unruly servants. You can't discipline them well, so I'll discipline them for you. I'll ask you one last time. Are you really not going to give me this batch of ores? "
Li Zhao sneered, "My Li Family spent money to buy these ores, why should I hand them over to you?"
A dangerous glint flashed across Chu Xiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just chuckled.
But as soon as he finished laughing, Chu Xiu unsheathed his saber and slashed at Li Zhao!
The saber whistled, containing a dense killing intent. Li Zhao did not expect Chu Xiu to attack so abruptly.
Although he was a young master of an aristocratic family, after the Li Clan's Patriarch died, he had led the Li Clan's men through a caravan and fought with some bandits. His combat experience was not weak.
When Chu Xiu's saber slashed at him, Li Zhao directly used the longsword at his waist to block. The sword was not unsheathed, but in an instant, Li Zhao felt a strong force coming at him. The luxurious mahogany scabbard on his longsword shattered with a loud bang. Even his right hand, which was holding the sword, suddenly went numb. His body couldn't help but retreat.
"How can his strength be so great!"
Li Zhao's heart revealed a trace of shock. Both of them were in the Body Tempering Realm, and the Chu Clan's cultivation technique did not specialize in strength. However, Chu Xiu's saber made him feel like he couldn't withstand it.
But this was not the end. The Goose Feather Saber in Chu Xiu's hand was like a poisonous tongue, emitting a cold killing intent. The saber's aura was sinister and evil, often slashing out from unexpected places. If Li Zhao was not careful, this saber could pierce a hole in him.
The Blood Saber Scripture was originally an evil sect's martial art, and its sinister and vicious nature was used to the extreme by Chu Xiu.
The clanging sound of the saber and sword colliding could be heard. After more than ten moves, Li Zhao was forced to retreat step by step by Chu Xiu.
The Li Clan's hereditary sword technique was called the Drizzle Sword. The sword technique was faintly discernible, and the sword's aura was like a continuous drizzle.
But the problem was that he was being forced by Chu Xiu to the point where he could only barely defend himself. How could he use the sword technique?
At this moment, a flaw in Li Zhao's body was discovered by Chu Xiu. His footsteps had already started to become weak. The Goose Feather Saber in Chu Xiu's hand was shining with a layer of sinister scarlet color. From bottom to top, the saber slashed away Li Zhao's longsword. Just as the saber was about to reach Li Zhao's neck, a stern voice came from inside the Kai Shan Martial Arts School: "How dare you!"
Ding Kaishan's figure appeared at the entrance of the martial arts school. With a leap, he was already in front of Li Zhao. He stretched out his right hand, and unexpectedly grabbed Chu Xiu's Goose Feather Saber!
His hands were originally delicate and white, but at this moment, they had become thick and jet-black. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and it was exceptionally terrifying.
When Chu Xiu's saber slashed at Ding Kaishan's hand, it actually emitted a clanging sound of metal clashing. It didn't even hurt the opponent's skin.
This was the Golden Splitting Hand that Ding Kaishan had relied on to become famous. This wasn't an exaggeration, but his hands really could shatter metal and split stone.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Ding Kaishan coldly snorted: "You dare to injure someone in front of my Kai Shan Martial Arts School? Do you still not place me in your eyes?"
Chu Xiu withdrew his saber, a cold light appearing in his eyes.
Just now, his saber had been grabbed by Ding Kaishan, and that huge force had actually made it so that he couldn't advance even an inch.
Ding Kaishan had been in the Blood Condensation realm for such a long time, so he had most likely long since reached the peak. No matter how fierce Chu Xiu's Blood Saber Scripture was, or how unexpected the Azure Dragon Sleeve was, wanting to kill him now would be incomparably difficult.
"Head Ding, for that grandson of yours, you've really put in a lot of effort."
Chu Xiu coldly said: "But in the end, the Chu family's matters are the Chu family's matters. As an outsider, if you interfere like this, you won't have a good ending."
After saying this, Chu Xiu directly led his people away, very direct and efficient.
Since he couldn't kill anyone, and he couldn't take anything, there was no need to waste words. But today's matter definitely wasn't over!
Behind him, Li Zhao still had a face full of lingering fear. He looked at Ding Kaishan and asked: "Head Ding, what kind of saber technique did this Chu Xiu use? How could it be so evil and strange? Just now, if it weren't for you, I would have been in danger. "
Ding Kaishan's face was also gloomy: "I don't know, but it definitely isn't the Chu family's martial arts. Furthermore, looking at how evil and strange it is, it definitely isn't a righteous martial art."
Ding Kaishan could be considered a veteran of Jianghu, and he had seen many things.
A person's character and their martial arts had a certain connection. Although it wasn't absolute, there was some truth to it.
For this Chu Xiu to be able to cultivate this kind of evil and strange saber technique to the point of perfection, it was clear that this Chu Xiu was definitely not a good person.
Right now, Chu Xiu wanted to compete with Chu Xiu for the position of successor. The difficulty was even greater than competing with the Chu family's eldest brother.
At this time, on Chu Xiu's side, Ma Kuo raised his heavy sword and mumbled: "Young master Chu, why don't you fight with that old thing? Although that old thing is in the Blood Condensation realm, from his appearance, he should be around sixty or seventy years old. If he still hasn't stepped into the Xiantian realm at such an age, then his Blood Qi should have already deteriorated. Perhaps you really could kill him with a single saber strike. "
Chu Xiu shook his head: "Don't look down on Ding Kaishan. He's managed the Opening Mountain Martial Dojo for dozens of years, so he has quite a few resources. Adding on the fact that he hasn't fought with anyone in recent years, his Blood Qi has been preserved quite well. He's still at the peak of the Blood Condensation realm and hasn't declined much. Moreover, his Opening Mountain Martial Dojo has over a hundred people. If we really fight, the dozen of us won't be enough. "
When martial arts reached the pinnacle, it was possible for one person to fight against ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand. The strongest people in Jianghu could fight against an entire army, but for a martial artist of Chu Xiu's level, this kind of realm was simply a legend.
At this time, a cold light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes: "But even if we can't kill him this time, it doesn't mean we can't in the future! Since that old thing Ding Kaishan doesn't want to retire peacefully and wants to get involved in this matter, then I'll let him retire ahead of time. "
Chu Xiu turned to Ma Kuo: "You take the people back first."
Ma Kuo was puzzled: "Young master Chu, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going back to the Chu family. That mother and son Chu Sheng actually sold the Chu family's resources to outsiders. I don't believe that my old man won't care about this!"
Chu Xiu believed that even if Chu Zongguang didn't care about the Chu family, this kind of thing was intolerable to him.
Moreover, the Chu family didn't belong to Chu Zongguang alone. Chu Sheng and his mother did this kind of thing, the rest of the Chu family wouldn't allow it.
Therefore, when Chu Xiu returned to the Chu family, he immediately asked Steward Chen to inform Chu Zongguang, and also alerted the other elders and stewards of the Chu family.
In the Chu family's meeting room, Chu Xiu stood in the center and told the story. His face was full of grief and indignation: "Father, elders, when the Chu family first came to Tongzhou Prefecture, we went through hardships to resist the suppression of the Li family, and finally established a foothold in Tongzhou Prefecture. But now, someone betrayed us and sold the Chu family's resources to the Li family. This is simply digging up the foundation of the Chu family! "
The elders of the Chu family looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Chu Xiu's performance was impassioned, as if he had a big grudge against the Li family, but these wily old foxes wouldn't believe it.
When the Chu family was going through hardships, Chu Xiu hadn't even been born yet. Why was he so sad and indignant now?
However, if what Chu Xiu said was true, that Chu Sheng and his mother sold the refined ores of the Chu family to the Li family, then this was indeed a big deal. They couldn't tolerate anything that harmed the interests of the Chu family.
There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the Chu family's First Madam and Chu Kai.
Anyway, they were happy to see Chu Xiu and Chu Sheng fight to the death. It would be good if both sides suffered.
