Xiao Qi sighed in relief and gently nodded.
However, she still looked at Chu Li anxiously.
She knew Chu Li the best. She knew that he would not let Cao Xian go as easily as he said.
Chu Li looked at her and smiled. "Don't worry, Madam. I'll handle it properly!"
"Don't lose sight of the bigger picture." Xiao Qi was worried.
Chu Li smiled. "This concerns the safety of the Public House. How can I be careless?"
Suddenly, a long howl rang through the night sky and woke up the Public House.
The Protectors of the Public House immediately became alert. Zhu Tianhua and the others quickly surrounded the Tianshu Courtyard. As for Chu Li, no one came over.
Xiao Qi frowned. "Is Cao Xian here?"
Chu Li nodded slowly.
The Omniscient Mirror had already seen a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes gliding over. He wore a purple shirt and was tall and burly like an iron tower. A long sword hung on his waist. The sword on his waist looked like a thin stick.
He swept past the roofs like a gust of wind and landed in the Tianshu Courtyard like a feather.
Zhu Tianhua and the others shot towards him.
Chu Li's voice suddenly rang. "Step back!"
Zhu Tianhua and the others turned in the air and retreated to their original positions.
Chu Li flashed and appeared in front of the tall young man. He placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Who are you? Why did you trespass the Imperial Residence?"
"Where's Third Lady Xiao?!" The tall young man scoffed. "Who are you?"
"Chu Li." Chu Li frowned. "My wife is not in the residence. You can tell me directly."
He had already read the man's mind. It was Cao Xian, the genius disciple of the Sword Moon Sect. He was outstanding among the younger generation and had cultivated his swordsmanship to an extremely high level. That was why he could not wait to avenge his younger brother by killing the married Xiao Qi.
He had always admired Xiao Qi. Ever since he had met her once, he could not forget her and thought about her day and night. Initially, he planned to go down the mountain and ask for her hand in marriage from the High Duke's Public House after he had mastered his swordsmanship. As a disciple of the Fu Dynasty's Sword Moon Sect, he was more than qualified to be a match for the Third Lady of the High Duke's Public House.
However, he never expected that Xiao Qi was already married before he could master his swordsmanship. Moreover, she was married to a Chief of the High Duke's Public House. She was as blind as a bat and did not know how to love herself. A woman like her did not deserve to be loved by him and should not be alive!
His love turned into hatred, so the first thing he did when he left the mountain was to kill Xiao Qi and avenge his brother at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.
Chu Li's killing intent surged when he saw these thoughts. He wanted nothing more than to kill Cao Xian right away.
"She's not here, so killing you is the same!" Cao Xian sneered and unsheathed his sword.
Holding the sword in his hand was like picking up a straw. It was light and agile. He took a big step forward, and with a flash of cold light, the tip of the sword was already in front of Chu Li's chest. It was about to pierce into his heart.
"Ding!" Chu Li parried the tip of the sword with his sword.
Cao Xian felt his whole body tremble. A strange force was transmitted from the sword to his body. His whole body stiffened, and he almost could not hold the sword. His body also froze for a moment.
Chu Li looked at him quietly and did not take the opportunity to attack.
Although Cao Xian was a genius disciple of the Sword Moon Sect, his cultivation level was much lower than Chu Li's. It was not worth it for Chu Li to use his full strength. Chu Li wanted to completely destroy Cao Xian's confidence.
Cao Xian desperately urged the heart technique of the Sword Moon Palace. After a while, he returned to normal, but his expression changed. He stared at Chu Li as if he was facing a great enemy. He did not blink. "Who are you?"
Chu Li laughed. "Chu Li."
"Impossible!" Cao Xian held his sword tightly. The tip of the sword trembled slightly. He shook his head forcefully. "You can't be Chu Li!"
He could not believe that Chu Li had such a powerful cultivation level. In his impression, the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty was weak. As long as he appeared, other than Enlightened Masters, everyone else would be defeated by him.
He did not expect Chu Li to be so powerful. With such powerful martial arts, he should not be from the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty!
Chu Li chuckled. "You think that your martial arts can make you invincible in the Ji Dynasty, don't you? You think that the swordsmanship of the Sword Moon Sect is exquisite and unstoppable in the Ji Dynasty, right? "
"That's right!" Cao Xian scoffed.
Even the Tempest Temple was not as powerful as the Sword Moon Sect. Therefore, he was dismissive of the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty.
Chu Li shook his head. "You're a frog in a well. If the martial arts world of the Ji Dynasty is so weak, the Fu Dynasty would have conquered the world long ago!"
Cao Xian sneered. "I don't know where you got this fortuitous encounter. You're really lucky, but do you think you can defeat me like this? Then let me show you the real swordsmanship of the Sword Moon Sect! "
His long sword suddenly lit up and shot out a dazzling white light. His tower-like body suddenly became as light as a feather and appeared in front of Chu Li in an instant.
"Ding!" Chu Li swung his sword horizontally again.
He had taught this move to Li Hanyan before. It was the essence of the swordsmanship that he had comprehended. It had the effect of moving a thousand pounds with little effort.
He took a step back and his whole body was eroded by waves of numbness. The force on Cao Xian's sword was pure and strange. It was worlds apart from the power of the previous sword.
"Tss!" The sword flashed again. Cao Xian thrust his sword forward again. This time, it was faster than the previous one.
"Ding!" Chu Li swung his sword again and took a step back to dissipate the sword force.
"Tss!" "Ding!"
"Tss!" "Ding!"
Cao Xian's sword was faster than the one before. He continuously thrust his sword several times, but Chu Li swung his sword away every time.
Chu Li took a step back with every thrust, wearing down his opponent's spirit.
He knew that Cao Xian was using a secret skill. Such a powerful swordsmanship consumed a lot of inner energy. He could not use too many swords. He just had to wait for Cao Xian to run out of energy.
However, Cao Xian's sword was faster and fiercer. It was like a rolling snowball. It seemed endless and unstoppable.
Chu Li shook his head as he swung his sword. This secret skill would stop at the most intense moment. However, looking at Cao Xian's thoughts, he would not wait until then. He already had the intention to leave.
"Tss!" After Cao Xian thrust his sword forward, his sword suddenly changed direction and avoided Chu Li's sword. Then, he became one with his sword and shot out like a bolt of lightning. His speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred meters away. He was already out of King An's Imperial Residence and on the street.
Chu Li disappeared from where he was and appeared in front of Cao Xian.
Cao Xian had originally prepared a Turnaround Sword. He was waiting for Chu Li to catch up to him and then he would thrust his sword back. It was impossible to guard against and it would definitely hit.
However, he did not expect Chu Li to see through his plan. He appeared in front of him and unknowingly broke this powerful Turnaround Sword.
The tip of Cao Xian's sword changed direction and avoided Chu Li before shooting into the distance.
This time, Chu Li appeared behind him and dodged Cao Xian's stab with his sword.
Cao Xian forcefully stopped his stab. His vigor was fluctuating and his inner energy stagnated. Just as his inner energy changed and he was about to attack again, the tip of Chu Li's sword pierced his shoulder without any hindrance.
"Clang!" Cao Xian's right shoulder was hit and his sword fell to the ground.
Chu Li resisted the urge to stab him to death. He sheathed his sword and sneered. "Is this the Sword Moon Sect's sword technique? Is this the only sword technique in the Sword Moon Sect? "
"Shut up!" Cao Xian quickly stabbed his shoulder a few times to stop the bleeding. He said coldly, "Your cultivation level is great, but don't you dare insult my Sword Moon Sect!"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "You're just a weakling. You should go back to the Sword Moon Sect and train for a few more years!"
He waved his hand and disappeared from the street in a flash.
