049:5 Prison
Although Su Wen had witnessed Li Xingguo's prowess before, those monks had no formation at all and were fighting one-on-one, which was an advantage for Li Xingguo.
However, Li Xingguo is now facing a formation. Judging from these Daoist disciples, Li Moxuan must have been training them for some time!
"Stab!" came a loud shout.
Three or four spears thrust towards Li Xingguo's head, and at the same time, three or four spears thrust towards Li Xingguo's abdomen.
Li Xingguo did not fight back head-on, but instead took a step back. With that one step, four people rushed out from both sides and wielded sickle-like weapons to hook at Li Xingguo's feet.
Seeing this, Li Xingguo knew he could not retreat, so he took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and swung his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to sweep away the enemy.
At the sound of "Retreat!", everyone quickly took two steps back. As soon as Li Xingguo's sword missed its mark, someone shouted, "Arrows!" The front row quickly crouched down, while those behind suddenly pulled out crossbows and fired wildly.
Li Xingguo hurriedly shielded his eyes with his hands, and the crossbow bolts struck his armor with a series of crackling sounds, but were blocked.
At the same time, a shout rang out as several people on either side forcefully pulled on the sickle, striking Li Xingguo's feet. Although the sickle could not injure Li Xingguo, who was wearing armor, it caused him to lean backward.
With a "thud!", several shots pierced the head and several shots pierced the abdomen simultaneously.
Li Xingguo sensed something was wrong and could only use his hands to protect his head. Although the sharp spikes in his abdomen could not penetrate his armor, they still caused him to fall heavily to the ground due to his loss of balance.
Upon seeing this, everyone shouted "Smash!" and suddenly the crowd dispersed. A man wielding a sledgehammer rushed out and raised it to smash Li Xingguo.
Seeing this, Su Wen sensed something was wrong. Without any hesitation, he quickly raised his right hand, aimed, and fired a hidden arrow!
The hidden dart struck the man wielding the hammer in the head, killing him instantly. The hammer fell from his hand, and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Xingguo did not rush to get up. Instead, he rolled forward and swung his Mo Dao downwards with great force. The Mo Dao was as sharp as mud, and with Li Xingguo's enormous strength, he severed the lower legs of several people in the front row in an instant.
Everyone fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Li Xingguo then got up and swung his Mo Dao again. This time, because the front row was in chaos, the people in the back row didn't have time to react and were beheaded on the spot by the Mo Dao.
Upon seeing this, Su Wen couldn't help but shout, "Great!"
Upon seeing this, Li Moxuan frowned, snorted coldly, grabbed a long staff, and leaped down with incredible speed, delivering a powerful split to the ground.
Li Xingguo raised his Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword) to block, and with a "clang," the blow caused Li Xingguo to bend slightly.
Li Xingguo pushed upwards forcefully and swung his Mo Dao horizontally. Li Moxuan simply took a few steps back to dodge the sweep.
The two stood face to face, about two meters apart. Just looking at this scene filled Su Wen with fear. Good heavens, Su Wen never expected that Li Moxuan, an old man over fifty, would have such strength.
Li Moxuan wielded an iron rod, while Li Xingguo held a long-handled broadsword. However, Li Xingguo was fully armored, while Li Moxuan was unarmored. But Li Moxuan's iron rod was a blunt weapon, capable of piercing armor and directly injuring internal organs. Therefore, Li Xingguo dared not be careless!
The two faced off for a moment. As Li Xingguo gripped his broadsword and swung it forward, Li Moxuan did a mid-air spin, and Li Xingguo followed closely behind. During the spin, Li Xingguo delivered a single-leg whirlwind kick, landed, and then swept the ground with a single move.
Li Moxuan followed up with a diagonal slash of the stick, then deflected the stick handle with a backhand, and then spun the handle downwards, managing to block both of Li Xingguo's attacks.
Li Xingguo raised his knife to strike, and Li Moxuan immediately used his unique oblique chop staff technique, followed by a backhand flick staff and then a flip-over sweep staff.
Li Xingguo hurriedly raised his sword to block, but Li Moxuan, seeing this, began to twirl his staff in a dazzling display to divert Li Xingguo's attention. Li Xingguo, however, was not fooled and swung his sword again. Li Moxuan blocked the attack with his staff.
Suddenly, Li Moxuan hid his foot behind the staff and used a forward sweeping kick, followed by a staff-twirling dance around the neck. Suddenly, he grabbed the end of the staff and used a double swing to cover the top of the sky.
Li Xingguo raised his knife to block, and the blow made his hand tremble slightly.
Li Xingguo was surprised that Li Moxuan, who was over fifty years old, would still have such strength. He watched as Li Moxuan twirled the staff with one hand, then bent over, twirled it over his back, and then jumped up to deliver a flying diagonal chop. Li Xingguo parried with his knife, but Li Moxuan turned around and jumped up again to deliver a flipping chop.
Li Xingguo hurriedly raised his knife to block again, but Li Moxuan withdrew his staff and performed another neck-circling staff dance, grabbing the end of the staff and then flipping over to swing it. Li Xingguo blocked, but Li Moxuan jumped and swung the staff in a chopping motion.
Li Xingguo raised his knife to block again, but in this exchange, Li Moxuan completely suppressed Li Xingguo, even forcing Li Xingguo to only be able to defend passively.
Li Xingguo took several steps back, creating some distance between himself and Li Moxuan.
Li Moxuan did not chase after him, but stood still with a smile on his face, revealing a hint of disdain!
Su Wen was also shocked when he saw this. He knew that Li Moxuan must have some skills, otherwise he could not have become a military advisor in Anqing Palace. However, he did not expect that Li Moxuan was so powerful. His skill with the staff was comparable to that of the Monkey King!
Li Xingguo seemed to have lost his temper at this moment. He grabbed the helmet, decisively took it off, threw it aside, held the knife in both hands, and then took a deep breath.
Li Xingguo placed the knife on the ground, the blade touching the ground, and swiftly moved forward. He dragged the knife with a move that made Li Moxuan frown. Instead of defending, Li Moxuan swung his staff and unleashed a sweeping attack. Li Xingguo slid down with both feet, braced himself with one hand, and kicked off the ground with both feet in mid-air.
Li Moxuan had been using offense as defense, but now he couldn't retract the iron rod, so he had to use his left hand to block. His feet kicked his left hand, causing him to stagger back several steps.
Li Xingguo landed on his feet, leaped, and wielded his sword with tremendous force, splitting Mount Hua in two. Li Moxuan stopped in his tracks, unable to dodge, and could only raise his staff to block.
The ruthless Mo Dao cleaved into the iron rod. Li Xingguo was taller and stronger than Li Moxuan, and instantly completely suppressed Li Moxuan. As Li Xingguo gradually increased his strength...
The blade had already sliced into the flesh of Li Moxuan's shoulder.
Li Moxuan was getting on in years, and naturally he was finding it difficult to keep up with the young and vigorous Li Xingguo.
Just then, Li Xingguo raised his leg and kicked hard, striking Li Moxuan in the abdomen. Li Moxuan's body tilted, and Li Xingguo then dragged and slashed with his knife.
They actually chopped off Li Moxuan's right arm from the shoulder.
In an instant, blood gushed out like a spring. Li Moxuan gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain, and retreated step by step, forcibly stabilizing his steps. On the other hand, Li Xingguo stood up with his Mo Dao, took a deep breath, and looked down at Li Moxuan with a superior gaze.
Instead of being angry, Li Moxuan smiled, then looked at Su Wen, who was hiding in a corner, with a look of gritted teeth and said, "Su Wen, even if I fail to become an immortal today, I will drag you down to hell. Kill him!"
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people who had been watching the show on the steps suddenly frowned, gripped their spears tightly, and charged straight at Su Wen.
Seeing this, Su Wen was terrified and turned to run away.
