Chu Xiu stood still with his saber in his hand. Blood flowed from his mouth uncontrollably.
He touched his chest. There was a sharp pain coming from there. He was afraid that a few of his bones had been broken.
However, looking at Li Zhong's headless corpse in front of him, Chu Xiu sighed in his heart. This time, he had won by a hair's breadth. Li Zhong was stronger than he had imagined.
Originally, Chu Xiu had thought that Li Zhong was just an ordinary martial artist. Who would have thought that he was a disciple of the Great Light Temple?
Although he was just a monk in the Great Light Temple, he was still a monk in the Great Light Temple. He was very familiar with the Taming Tiger Stick, and Chu Xiu could not find any loopholes in it.
If the fight had continued, even if Chu Xiu had cultivated the Xiantian Skill, he would not have been able to compete with Li Zhong, who had already stepped into the Blood Condensation Realm.
Fortunately, Li Zhong had panicked and switched from defense to offense. Chu Xiu had found an opening, and in the end, he had been injured in exchange for his life. Only then was he able to kill Li Zhong with the Azure Dragon Sleeve.
However, this injury was worth it. Not only had he killed Li Zhong, but when he was fighting with Li Zhong, Chu Xiu had also felt the surging rhythm of Li Zhong's Qi and blood. This gave Chu Xiu a lot of inspiration. After this battle, if Chu Xiu went into seclusion again, he would not be far from the Blood Condensation Realm.
On the other side, the battle with Ma Kuo and the others had also ended. The Li family's caravan had been slaughtered, and Li Zhao's arm had been smashed by Ma Kuo's heavy sword. He was carried by Ma Kuo to Chu Xiu.
Looking at Li Zhong's corpse on the ground, Ma Kuo said in surprise, "Young Master Chu, you killed a monk from the Great Light Temple. That's amazing."
Chu Xiu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, threw a few healing pills into his mouth, and said, "You've seen a monk from the Great Light Temple?"
Ma Kuo nodded and said, "Who doesn't know about the North and South Buddhist Sects? Moreover, the Great Light Temple is located on the Great Light Peak in the Northern Swallow Mountain County, which is not too far away from the Northern Thirty-six Bandits. However, Great Leader Pang Hu and the other Great Leaders of the 36 Great Bandits of the Northern Lands have made it clear that we can touch the other martial arts sects, but we absolutely cannot provoke the people of the Great Guangming Temple. Those monks are not to be trifled with. "
As he spoke, Ma Kuo glanced at the corpse on the ground and said, "Of course, that doesn't matter. There's not even a ring scar on his head. He's not even an official disciple of the Great Light Temple."
Looking at Li Zhong's headless corpse on the ground, Li Zhao's eyes were filled with sorrow.
Their father had died young, and for the past few years, only Uncle Zhong had stayed by their side and protected the Li family. He did not expect that he would die here just because he had made a mistake and wanted to make an enemy out of Chu Xiu.
However, Li Zhao was a man of his word. Although he was devastated, he did not yell that he would fight to the death with Chu Xiu. Instead, he said in a hoarse voice, "Mister Chu Xiu, I, Li Zhao, have lost this time. If you let me go, I'll give you whatever you want.
In the future, if you want to fight for the position of the Chu family's successor, the Li family will also give you our full support!
You don't have to worry about me taking revenge on you after this. Now that the Li family has suffered a great loss, even if we want to take revenge, we don't have the strength to do so. "
Chu Xiu looked at Li Zhao and suddenly shook his head. He said, "Li Zhao, you can still stay calm at a time like this. You're quite a man, but it's a pity that you can't give me what I want."
"What do you want?" Li Zhao struggled to ask.
Picking up the dagger in his hand, Chu Xiu came to Li Zhao's side and said calmly, "I want the entire Li family. Can you give it to me? I didn't pay attention to your Li family at first, but now that you've jumped out to meddle in my affairs, don't blame me for being cruel. One mistake, and everything will be over. Mister Li, have a safe journey. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu had already stabbed the dagger into Li Zhao's chest. When Li Zhao fell to the ground with a look of unwillingness, Chu Xiu pulled the dagger out. He shook the blood off the dagger and said, "Take the goods and get ready to go back to the city."
Ma Kuo was surprised. "What about the corpses? Don't you need to disguise them? "
Chu Xiu's eyes showed a touch of sharpness. He said, "What do you need to disguise them? I've prepared these corpses for others to see. "
The Shang Mang Mountain was huge, but there were only a few paths into the mountain. Therefore, although the corpses of Li Zhao and the others were not discovered on the first day, they were discovered by other caravans on the second day. Someone recognized Li Zhao and immediately sent someone to inform the Li family.
In the main hall of the Li family, Li Cheng and Li Yun looked at the corpses of Li Zhao and Li Zhong under the white cloth. Their eyes were dull, but their hearts were filled with grief.
One was the younger brother that they had taken care of the most since they were young, and the other was the old housekeeper that they had always been by their side. Although he was an outsider, he was no different from a family member. But in the end, both of them died here in one day.
"Who is it! Who is it!? "
Li Yun suddenly shouted. His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was crazed.
Li Cheng's expression was gloomy, but he was not as crazy as Li Yun. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's Chu Xiu from the Chu family!
Someone saw Chu Xiu leave the city with a group of people yesterday, and in the afternoon, he came back with carts of goods. The carts even had the Li family's insignia!
But I don't understand. Uncle Zhong was there, so why did something happen? Uncle Zhong was a martial artist from the Great Light Temple. He rarely had a match in the same level. How could he be killed by a tempered body realm martial artist like Chu Xiu? "
Li Yun stood up and picked up the sword beside him. He was about to leave, but was grabbed by Li Cheng.
"What are you going to do?"
Li Yun shouted, "Of course I'm going to the Chu family to seek justice!"
Li Cheng immediately snatched the sword from his hand and shouted, "Second brother! Calm down! No matter what, Chu Xiu is Chu Zong Guang's son. What justice are you going to seek? Will Chu Zong Guang kill his son to pay for third brother's life?
What we should be worried about now is the Li family itself. In the past, with Uncle Zhong's help, us three brothers were able to support the Li family.
Now that Uncle Zhong is dead, will the people who have enmity with our Li family turn a blind eye?
Moreover, what I'm most worried about is the Chu clan. Will they directly make a move against our Li clan because of this matter? "
"Then what do we do?"
Li Cheng's expression was gloomy, "Wait! Wait for the results from the Chu family before we make a decision! Although our Li family has declined, our foundation is still there. If the Chu family really dares to make a move, then our Li family will sacrifice all of our family's wealth and hire outsiders to make a move. We will definitely make the Chu family suffer a great loss! "
At this time, in the Chu family, such a big news had already spread throughout the Tong State Capital. If the Li family could know who did it, then the Chu family naturally also knew.
When Chu Zong Guang heard this news, he angrily smashed his teacup and cursed, "This unfilial son! Call Chu Xiu over! "
Chu Zong Guang was so angry not because Chu Xiu killed Li Zhao. The Chu family was stronger than the Li family. Even if Chu Zong Guang did not want to cause trouble and did not make a move against the Li family, the Chu family would not be afraid of the Li family.
What he was angry about was that Chu Xiu did not listen to his words. He told him that this matter was over, but in the end, he still acted in the dark, leading people to rob and kill the Li family's caravan. In the end, did he not put his father in his eyes at all?
Chu Zong Guang originally did not like Chu Xiu. What he liked was Chu Shang, a well-behaved and obedient son. Unfortunately, now that Chu Shang was crippled, his remaining three sons were not easy to deal with. Among them, Chu Xiu was the most troublemaker!
Inside the meeting hall, Chu Zong Guang, the Chu family's Elders, Chu Kai, and the others were all present. Such a big matter naturally required the other members of the Chu family to be present.
Chu Xiu's complexion was slightly pale. He took a Vajra Arhat Fist head-on, breaking several of his bones. This kind of injury was not something that could be healed in a single move.
Seeing Chu Xiu step into the meeting hall, Chu Zong Guang coldly snorted and said, "Chu Xiu, do you still put me, your father, in your eyes? What did I tell you before? You actually dared to act without my permission! "
Chu Xiu bowed his head and said, "Father, please forgive me. Opportunity waits for no man, I didn't have the time to report to you. But this time, I robbed the Li family's caravan. In addition to taking back my Chu family's ore, there was also a large amount of goods that the Li family wanted to transport to the Yan Empire. These things, I am willing to hand over to the family."
The eyes of the several Elders present lit up when they heard this. Chu Xiu was very meticulous in handling this matter. After obtaining such a large amount of wealth, he didn't choose to keep it for himself, but instead chose to hand it over to the family.
Originally, they also wanted to reprimand Chu Xiu along with Chu Zong Guang, but seeing Chu Xiu being so tactful, they didn't say anything.
However, Chu Kai on the side added oil to the fire, "Second Brother, it's not that I want to criticize you, but the Tong Zhou Prefecture is only so big, and our Chu family isn't the strongest. Pulling one hair will affect the whole body. Aren't you a bit too good at stirring up trouble?"
Chu Xiu lightly said, "Then according to Big Brother, do you want me to return the things, or prepare to pay with my life for Li Zhao?"
Chu Kai was just about to say something, but he saw Chu Zong Guang waving his hand in annoyance, "Enough, shut up."
Looking at Chu Xiu, Chu Zong Guang frowned and said, "This time's matter will not be repeated. The merits and demerits offset each other, but the next time you prepare to act, you must report to me. Even if I am in seclusion, you must first inform Housekeeper Chen and obtain my permission before you act."
Chu Xiu obediently bowed and said, "I will solemnly obey Father's teachings."
Originally, Chu Zong Guang's plan was that if Chu Xiu dared to talk back, he would certainly punish him according to the family's rules and properly teach this restless son a lesson.
However, Chu Zongguang did not expect that Chu Xiu, who had been incomparably unyielding and dared to go against him, would become obedient this time. He took the initiative to hand over the items that he had robbed from the Li Clan. This gave him no reason to be angry.
At this time, Chu Zong Guang suddenly thought of something and asked, "The Li Family's Li Zhong was killed by you? How did you kill him? "
Body Tempering killing a Blood Condensation cultivator, this kind of thing had happened before in the Jianghu, so it wasn't strange.
But those who could do this, without exception, were the elites of the large sects. Chu Zong Guang's son was actually able to do this? Chu Zong Guang still had some doubts in his heart.
