In the wee hours of the morning, Ding Kaishan was still sleeping in the martial arts club.
There were many disciples in the Kai Shan Martial Arts Club during the day, numbering more than a hundred. However, there were only a few at night.
Although Ding Kaishan was from the martial arts club and had countless disciples, there were still differences between disciples.
For example, the disciples who came to his martial arts club during the day would only be taught some ordinary martial arts. He would teach them if they were paid, but if they didn't have the money, they would be kicked out.
Ding Kaishan wouldn't even teach them ordinary internal energy, let alone the Gold-Splitting Hand that he was famous for.
These disciples who stayed in the Kai Shan Martial Arts Club all year round were Ding Kaishan's true disciples, the kind that could be regarded as his successors.
Although Ding Kaishan knew that the Li family would make a move against Chu Xiu tonight, he didn't care. He was only responsible for acting as the middleman. If the Li family couldn't kill Chu Xiu with their strength, then there was no need for the Li family to continue standing in the Tong State Prefecture.
Therefore, at night, Ding Kaishan rested as usual. He was old, and his life was very regular. Otherwise, his strength would decline even faster.
Outside the Opening Mountain Dojo, Chu Xiu knocked on the door. After a long while, a disciple of Ding Kaishan walked over while cursing. As he opened the door, he muttered, "Motherf * cker, can't you let me rest?"
As soon as the door opened, he saw a sharp flash of a knife!
In an instant, his head fell to the ground, and the sound was extremely ear-piercing.
Chu Xiu brought Ma Kuo and the others in. No matter how deep Ding Kaishan slept, he would be awakened.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out. Seeing Chu Xiu and his disciple's corpse on the ground, Ding Kaishan's expression suddenly changed.
At this hour, the Li family should have made their move. Why was Chu Xiu still standing here? Why had he come to his Kai Shan Martial Arts Club with a knife?
At this moment, Ding Kaishan realized that something had happened!
However, he still calmed down and snorted coldly. "Chu Xiu, what is the meaning of this? Coming to my Opening Mountain Martial Arts School to kill people, could it be that you're not afraid of being punished when you return to the Chu Family? Don't forget who I am. According to seniority, I am your elder! "
Chu Xiu walked over with a saber in his hand. As he walked, he said in a cold voice, "Elder? An elder who wants to kill me? Old thing, I don't care if you want to support your grandson to the position of Patriarch, but since you're in my way, you can go to hell! "
As the saber slashed down, the blade whistled. A trace of blood-red light appeared in Chu Xiu's saber. After several battles, Chu Xiu had already used the Blood Saber Scripture to the point of perfection.
Ding Kaishan's eyes revealed a trace of anger, "How arrogant! Do you really think that you're invincible after learning martial arts for a few days? "
Although Ding Kaishan was flabbergasted that Chu Xiu had reached Blood Condensation at such a young age, he could be considered a senior of Jianghu. He had trained his entire life, and the only reason he hadn't advanced to Xiantian was because he was too old.
But now a junior was arrogant enough to want to kill him. He really didn't know what was good for him!
As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Kaishan directly used his Golden Splitting Hand. His originally white hands that had a hint of red instantly expanded, becoming a terrifying jet-black, as if they were a monster.
Ding Kaishan's Golden Splitting Hand was a type of Iron Palm, but it was a bit higher level.
Ordinary Iron Palm only used external force to refine a pair of palms, and at most some medicinal herbs were used to supplement it.
But Ding Kaishan's Golden Splitting Hand was different. It needed to be cultivated in conjunction with internal force. During the Body Tempering realm, it was similar to the Iron Palm, but the medicinal herbs used were of a higher level.
But once one reached Blood Condensation, they would be able to control their body's Blood Qi. They would need to channel all their Blood Qi into their hands, and then continuously temper it with internal force. That would cause the Golden Splitting Hand's Blood Qi to be astonishing, and just their palms would be able to shatter metal.
Chu Xiu's Blood Sabre Technique was sinister and ruthless, but Ding Kaishan's attacks were incomparably steady. He directly used his palms to block Chu Xiu's Goose Feather Sabre, and a sonorous sound rang out from the collision. Ding Kaishan's strength was actually not the slightest bit inferior to Chu Xiu's.
His jet-black hand directly clamped down on Chu Xiu's Goose Feather Sabre. Ding Kaishan coldly laughed, "You think that just because you were able to kill that Li Zhong from the Li family, you can kill me? That Li Zhong suffered internal injuries in his early years, and I'm guessing he still hasn't fully recovered. After killing a half-crippled Blood Condensation cultivator, you don't know what's good for you? Laughable! "
Suddenly, a murderous intent burst out from Chu Xiu's eyes. He abandoned his saber and stepped forward. Suddenly, a silver saber light attacked. "Azure Dragon Sleeve!"
The sabre attack was like an azure dragon emerging from the sea. Its speed was extremely fast, and only when Chu Xiu's sabre light appeared in front of Ding Kaishan did he react. He hastily sent out a palm to meet the sabre.
However, Chu Xiu's sabre suddenly deviated from its original position. The sabre light streaked past, and Ding Kaishan's right hand was directly cut off at the wrist by Chu Xiu. That severed hand instantly sprayed out a large amount of blood. It was simply not the amount of blood that a severed hand could contain.
From the start, Chu Xiu's sabre had never intended to kill Ding Kaishan. He had only wanted to cripple his opponent's Golden Rending Hand.
The Azure Dragon Sleeve wasn't meant to be used as a sure-kill technique!
Ding Kaishan painfully howled, and his figure retreated. However, Chu Xiu's sabre light was like a maggot attached to a bone, sticking closely to Ding Kaishan.
In the case of a severed hand, Ding Kaishan's figure was awkward, and he had no time to resist at all. In the end, Chu Xiu directly stabbed his sabre into his chest, and he was directly killed.
Drawing out his sabre, Chu Xiu felt that Ding Kaishan's strength didn't seem to be as strong as he had imagined. He was even weaker than Li Zhong, the old housekeeper of the Li family.
The power of Ding Kaishan's Golden Rending Hand was too strong. In terms of strength alone, it was not inferior to Chu Xiu, who had practiced the Xiantian Skill.
But it was precisely because of this that he had devoted too much energy to how to practice this pair of Golden Rending Hands. As a result, his martial arts could only be said to be sloppy and ordinary.
Therefore, when he encountered Chu Xiu's sudden strange move, which directly crippled his Golden Rending Hand, Ding Kaishan could only wait for death.
Of course, the most important reason was not that Ding Kaishan was weak, but that the current Chu Xiu had become stronger than before.
"Cut off his head. Tomorrow, I will send a big gift to the Chu family!"
Chu Xiu put away his sabre and walked directly out.
Ma Kuo was puzzled. "Childe Chu, where are you going?"
Without looking back, Chu Xiu said, "It's still early. I'm going back to sleep."
…
The next morning, the Tongzhou Prefecture, which was usually peaceful, was very lively. Chu Xiu and the others didn't bother to clean up the corpses on the long street. Therefore, when people found the corpses, all the people in the Tongzhou Prefecture knew that the elites of the Li family, which was originally one of the three big families in the Tongzhou Prefecture, had all died here!
Such a big thing couldn't be hidden from others. In less than two hours, the news had completely spread, and naturally, it had also spread to the ears of the Chu family.
When Chu Zongguang heard the news, he was also stunned. Chu Zongguang hadn't thought of Chu Xiu yet. He subconsciously murmured, "All the elites of the Li family are dead? Who did it? "
Housekeeper Chen whispered, "I heard that they died in front of Childe Chu Xiu's courtyard."
"Chu Xiu!? It's impossible for him and his subordinates to destroy the Li family! "Chu Zongguang didn't believe such a ridiculous thing at all.
Just when Housekeeper Chen was about to say something else, a servant of the Chu family came in and reported, "Master, Childe Chu Xiu is here. He wants to convene the family for a meeting. He said that he has a gift for you."
Chu Zongguang frowned slightly. "Is it really him?"
At this time, in the Chu family's meeting hall, there were four boxes placed in front of Chu Xiu. He was drinking tea leisurely. First Madam, Chu Xiu, and a group of Chu family elders all looked confused. Obviously, they didn't understand what Chu Xiu was up to this time.
Second Madam and Chu Sheng looked a little flustered. They didn't even dare to look at Chu Xiu.
They really didn't understand what went wrong. Why was Chu Xiu still alive? Instead, the Li family's people were all dead. Could it be that there was someone behind him helping him?
Before Second Madam and Chu Xiu could think too much, Chu Zongguang walked out and looked directly at Chu Xiu. He said in a deep voice, "Did you do what happened to the Li family?"
Chu Xiu bowed to Chu Zongguang and said, "Yes."
Chu Zongguang coldly snorted. "What did I tell you last time? Did you forget? I won't let you act against the Li family for the time being. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words? "
Chu Xiu had a helpless expression on his face. "Father, I didn't want to provoke the Li family. But this time, it was the Li family who attacked me first. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill my way to the Li family and drag them to my residence."
Chu Zongguang thought about it and felt that it was reasonable. The Li family had indeed gone too far. He had already let them go, but they still dared to cause trouble.
Chu Zongguang frowned and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I will make the Li family give you an explanation."
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "There's no need for an explanation. I have already asked the Li family for an explanation."
After saying that, Chu Xiu opened the three boxes in front of him and said to everyone, "These are the heads of the Li family's three brothers, Li Cheng, Li Yun, and Li Ze.
Right now, the entire Li family is like a group of dragons without a leader. Even a few branch families can't be found. The entire Li family has been completely destroyed!
I have already sent my subordinates to take over the Li family's business. From now on, there will only be two great families in the Tongzhou prefecture! "
