Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

Chapter 31 Opportunity

The hall was dimly lit.

Only two or three oil lamps flickered dimly.

The scene reflected the gruesome corpses lying in pools of blood on the ground. Among them was the old leader of the Chai Gang, whose head was severed from his body and was being held up in mid-air by his gray hair.

As the words echoed.

Meng Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.

This wasn't because his father, who once held immense power in the outer city and was now beheaded, was a powerful figure. Rather, it was because the fierce man who was holding his father's head and slowly turning around was none other than the Qin family patriarch, whom he had just seen that evening.

"How could this be...?"

Meng Xuan's voice trembled.

His mind was almost completely blank at that moment.

They felt that this man was far too hot-tempered. He had only said a few words in the evening and had been severely beaten. Now, not long after nightfall, he had stormed up the Chai Gang and ripped off his father's head. No one could remain calm at this moment.

"My father is a third-level cultivator, you, you..."

"Don't say useless things."

Throwing away the severed head, Qin Jiu took two steps in one, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Then he raised his hand and grabbed her neck.

"tell me."

"Why did you, the people behind the Chai Gang and the Yu Gang, allow demons to gather in Songshan County? And when will the Wei army arrive in the county?"

"What?"

Meng Xuan was taken aback, then sneered, "You'd better not kill me, otherwise..."

'Kaba'

Qin Jiu remained expressionless.

He squeezed hard with his right hand.

Meng Xuan's eyes bulged out, then his head slumped down, and he instantly lost all life.

"Tap tap,"

Outside the hall.

Several footsteps sounded.

He casually tossed the corpse at his feet, turned to look at the door, and almost simultaneously, Qin Xuanzhou, Huang Jing, and the others quickly walked in.

"Master, all the core members of the Chai Gang have been executed."

"We also found its secret vault."

"What should we do next?"

Qin Xuanzhou bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

The others followed suit, clasping their hands in greeting, but their faces twitched involuntarily when their gazes swept over the corpse on the ground.

"You three, move all the corpses to this building."

"Huang Jing went to the secret vault with Qin Xudong."

"Come with me to the Li family's house first."

At this point, Qin Jiu added, "After you finish doing all this, one of you will stay behind at the Chai Gang and wait for an hour before setting fire to this building. Qin Xudong will need to transport the contents of the secret vault back to the Qin family alone, while the other three will immediately go to the Li family to provide assistance."

"Do you have any questions?"

"no."

Several people said in unison.

Qin Jiu nodded slightly, then quickly left the Chai Gang with Qin Xuanzhou.

On the road.

Qin Xuanzhou hesitated several times before finally asking, "Patriarch, are you... truly a Second-Level Martial Artist?"

His tone was far from calm.

According to seniority, this person is the head of his cousin's family.

Previously, he was a complete playboy. Even when Qin Guihong was alive, no matter how much he forced him to learn martial arts, it was to no avail. But tonight, the other party actually beheaded a third-level martial artist with his own hands.

It's simply unbelievable.

When did you learn martial arts, and when did you break through to the second level of cultivation?

And it's only the second refinement?

The doubts in his heart surged like a raging storm, refusing to subside for a long time.

In response to Qin Xuanzhou's question.

Qin Jiu nodded slightly.

"I just broke through to the second level of cultivation not long ago, so you don't need to be too surprised."

"If that old gang leader hadn't taken a punch from you, and given his old age, frailty, and depleted energy, I wouldn't have been able to take him by surprise and behead him," Qin Jiu said, shaking his head. "Don't misjudge my strength. The Li family's third trial will require you to deal with it later."

"That man is different from the old leader of the Chai Gang."

"He is in his prime, you must not be careless."

"I see."

Qin Xuanzhou nodded.

My thoughts drifted away again and again.

He remembered clearly that on the day he took over the Hundred Beast Garden, Qin Jiu was just a sickly person corrupted by demonic energy, and could not possibly be a martial artist, otherwise how could he have allowed that energy to enter his body?

It only starts from that time.

Now, less than a month has passed since then...

......

More than half an hour later.

The two returned to the inner city and headed straight for the Li family's mansion.

However, after arriving at the Li family's residence...

Qin Jiu did not take action immediately. Instead, he led Qin Xuanzhou to scout the area around the Li family's residence. Firstly, the inner city was different from the outer city, and if any noise was made here, it would easily attract the attention of the county government officials.

Secondly, although the Li family currently only has one third-level martial artist on the surface.

However, the strength of its guard team.

Far superior to the firewood gang.

"Shall we go back to the Qin family and summon the guards?"

A rooftop outside the Li family's residence.

Qin Xuanzhou stood on the eaves, observing the patrolling guards below while speaking in a low voice.

Qin Jiu immediately shook his head.

"no."

"The more people there are, the easier it is for things to go wrong."

"Although I intend to destroy the Li family tonight, if outsiders find out that it was the Qin family who did it, then tonight's events will be meaningless." He pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's wait for Huang Jing and the other two to arrive first."

"We will go straight for the head of the Li family and try to kill him as quickly as possible. In this way, the second-level martial artists in the guard team will naturally know how to avoid danger and seek advantage. Once all the members of the Li family are dead, those guards from other families will naturally collapse like loose sand."

They are both from large families.

Qin Jiu naturally understood the nature of those bodyguards who were only nominally in charge of guard duties.

To use an old saying from a previous life.

You're just a lowly guard, how much silver do you earn a month? Is it worth risking your life like this?

Soon.

Huang Jing joined the other two figures.

Qin Jiu had everyone cover their faces.

Previously, in the Chai Gang, although they were not allowed to do that, it was under the condition of wiping out an entire gang. Now, the situation with the Li family is different, and he does not want to carry out that horrific act of massacring the entire family.

All we need to do is kill the direct descendants of the Li family.

......

The inner hall of the Li family residence.

Li Shuyan, the head of the Li family, sat in the high hall with his eyes closed as if he were resting.

However, his hands were folded together.

He was constantly rubbing the thumb ring on his hand.

He was clearly thinking about something.

'Tap tap,'

Footsteps approached.

Li Shuyan opened her eyes and looked towards the door, a hint of surprise flashing across her face.

"Is the shepherd still awake?"

"I don't know why, but I feel inexplicably restless and want to come out for some fresh air."

Li Mu entered the hall, first shaking his head and saying something, then asked, "Father, what are you thinking about so late at night?"

"Um."

Li Shuyan nodded and said, "I'm thinking about the affairs of the Qin and Han families."

He valued his son, who was not yet twenty years old but had already broken through to the second level of cultivation, so he did not hide anything and said, "According to the original plan, the Fishing Gang wanted the Qin family's secret recipe, and the Firewood Gang wanted the Han family's property and martial arts."

"Our Li family will take over the Qin family's assets."

"However, at present, the members of the Fishing Gang are almost all dead, with only one gang leader left. I think the Li family should be able to take over that secret recipe and keep it for when that person enters the city. They can then present the secret recipe to you and secure a bright future for you."

"One might just be enough for you..."

"The opportunity to break through internal limitations in the future."

"What opportunity?"

Li Mu spoke with a slight hint of doubt.

But almost at the same time, Li Shuyan's expression suddenly changed drastically.

In an instant.

A chilling blade of light, accompanied by a trembling sound, pierced down from the roof, aiming straight for his crown.
