Chapter 143

144. Chapter 144: A Gunshot

"Let's go find Master and the others, and by the way, discuss the reconstruction of the martial arts school."

Li Yi, at this moment, was riding a black steed leisurely, walking on the streets of Sanyang City. Behind him, a strong Eight-Treasure Deer followed all the way. This kind of mountain treasure was already a monster, with high intelligence, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

Rong Niang on the side said: "Now Master probably has rescued all the other disciples, but I don't know where they are now. If we want to find Master to reunite, it will take some time."

"Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so just treat it as shopping and walk around Sanyang City. I am also here for the first time and am a bit curious about this place. How long has Rong Niang lived here?" Li Yi said.

"I have lived in Sanyang City since I was a child, for twenty-seven years. I am very familiar with Sanyang City. If Eldest Senior Brother wants to play, I can lead the way for Eldest Senior Brother." Rong Niang said immediately.

Li Yi asked again: "So Rong Niang is already twenty-seven years old. Why haven't you married? Logically speaking, at this age, you should have been married and had children."

Rong Niang shook her head and said: "After my parents passed away, I didn't have the idea of starting a family. For me, the Zhao Shiwu Arts School is my home."

"Didn't expect Rong Niang to be a tragic person too." Li Yi sighed.

"My situation can't be considered tragic. My parents were nearly fifty and were not martial artists. Dying of illness is also following the laws of nature. It's just a pity that I practiced martial arts every day for those years and didn't serve my parents well, which is a great regret in my heart." Rong Niang pursed her lips and said.

"The child wants to support, but the parents are not waiting. It has been so since ancient times."

Speaking of this, Li Yi suddenly asked curiously: "But what I want to know is, is the lifespan of ordinary people around fifty? Is there no one who can live to seventy or eighty?"

He was a bit strange when he heard Master say this before, but he didn't ask much at that time. Only now, in his spare time, did he ask this question.

Even if the medical conditions of ancient people were not good, they were hungry, and their lifespans were short, there were also some who were better off and could eat their fill, and their lifespans were longer.

Rong Niang was stunned, as if she didn't expect Li Yi to ask such a question. In the Four Seas and Bazhou, these were very basic common sense. However, she still said seriously: "Everyone is like this. They will die of old age around fifty. If you don't practice martial arts, it is almost impossible to live to sixty."

"Really?" Li Yi's pupils moved slightly.

"Yes, this is something everyone knows. How could I use this matter to fool Eldest Senior Brother? Perhaps in Eldest Senior Brother's world, everyone is long-lived and can live to seventy or eighty, but it is not the case here." Rong Niang shook her head and said.

Li Yi said: "No, I don't think Rong Niang's words have any problems, but I think the lifespan of people in the Four Seas and Bazhou has problems."

"How does Eldest Senior Brother explain this?" Rong Niang became curious immediately.

Li Yi rode his horse, looked at the pedestrians on the street not far away, and said slowly: "There are individual differences between people. Some die young, some are plagued by diseases, so there are long-lived people, and there are healthy people without diseases. Individuals are diverse. It is impossible for everyone to be consistent, unless..."

"Unless what?" Rong Niang reined in her horse and leaned closer, unable to help but ask.

"Unless, the lifespan of the Four Seas and Bazhou is truly determined by heaven. Heaven controls everyone's lifespan within a normal numerical range. Only in this way can ordinary people not live long." Li Yi said, looking up at the sky.

Rong Niang immediately said: "Three feet above the head, there are gods. Ghost god matters have existed since ancient times. Before, Master fought with Yin gods and injured his spirit, which led to a short lifespan."

"Yin gods... This reminds me of what the City Lord Fan Zhizhou said before. If a martial artist can reach the level of refining gods, he can condense Yin gods and escape the shackles of the body, existing in the world for a long time. Do these two have a relationship?" Li Yi asked.

Rong Niang nodded and said: "Yes, top experts who refine gods can turn into Yin gods after death. Master was injured by this kind."

"Then are Yin gods stronger, or are Meridian Cultivation martial artists stronger?" Li Yi continued.

Rong Niang showed a bit of embarrassment on her face at this time: "Senior brother, I am only at the Bone Cultivation level, not even at the Blood Cultivation level. How would I know this? However, I heard Master mention it before. Although Yin gods are transformed by experts who refine gods after death, because they have no flesh, their strength is not at its peak. It's just that the means of Yin gods are strange, can hurt people's souls, kill in dreams, and are traceless, which is very difficult to deal with. Only Meridian Cultivation experts, by relying on blood-Qi and aura, have the qualifications to fight against Yin gods. Otherwise, other martial artists have no means and can only be slaughtered by Yin gods. Therefore, we are all in awe of ghost gods."

"So that's it."

Li Yi understood a bit after hearing this. Yin gods are equal to ghosts and monsters. Ordinary people have no means to deal with ghosts and monsters, and even Blood Cultivation martial artists can only be beaten passively, dying in a muddled and unclear way. Meridian Cultivation experts can mobilize blood-Qi to release, so they can hurt these ghosts and monsters, thus having the qualifications to fight against Yin gods.

But if one can master the means to restrain ghosts and monsters, does it mean that Yin gods can also be killed?

In fact, it is not just the Four Seas and Bazhou that are like this; the means to deal with ghosts and monsters on Earth are also very few.

Investigators who encounter spiritual events involving ghosts and monsters dare not manage them, because investigators have no good way to deal with ghosts and monsters, so they can only avoid them.

"The bell must be untied by the person who tied it. Perhaps only Yin gods have the means to deal with Yin gods. If there is a chance, I have to ask the City Lord Fan Zhizhou. This guy is a family disciple with a long heritage, and there must be records in this regard." Li Yi thought secretly, and at the same time remembered the hanging man spear in his home, which was the weapon of a Yin god.

If one day he could pick it up, it would mean he had the ability to restrain and kill ghosts and monsters.

However, it was still a bit early to think about these things. He had to temper his martial arts cultivation next and cultivate his strength to Bone Cultivation, Blood Cultivation, and even Meridian Cultivation.

If the evolver's body opened nine major acupoints, took blood into the acupoints, and condensed aura, then Li Yi's strength would not soar to the sky.

At that time, what is a mere Yang Yi Long? Fist aura erupts, directly knocking him down. As for his half-hanging boxing technique, that is dog shit in front of Li Yi, no, even worse than dog shit.

Boxing technique without martial arts cultivation support not only has limited achievements but also cannot fully exert its full power. Li Yi has a deep understanding of this.

Just when Li Yi was letting his imagination run wild.

"Bang!"

Suddenly in the distance, a thunderclap exploded on the flat ground, startling the treasure horse under Li Yi's crotch to neigh. However, after Li Yi reacted, he immediately controlled the horse, and then looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Others couldn't hear it, but he could.

That was not thunder; it was a gunshot.

Li Yi could instantly distinguish the sound of the super-powered M200 sniper rifle.

"A shot? Did something go wrong on Zhao Qian's side? Go over and take a look immediately. Rong Niang, follow." Li Yi reacted immediately, rode his horse and galloped, and rushed directly in the direction of the gunshot.

Rong Niang also followed on horseback immediately, a trace of worry appearing in her eyes.

From a normal situation, the Meridian Cultivation experts in Sanyang City were all defeated by Li Yi, dead or injured, and there was no threat anymore. Besides that, the Chief Escort of the Wei Wu Escort Agency was also won over by the Zhao Family Martial Arts School, an ally, not an enemy. In this way, there should be no Meridian Cultivation experts left among the remaining forces.

Relying on Master Zhao Ge's strength, even if he hadn't returned to his peak, dealing with those Blood Cultivation martial artists was easy, right?

Under this situation, no matter what, Zhao Qian had no reason to fire.

"That direction is the territory of the Liu family of the shipping wharf. Did Master have a conflict with the Liu family?"

Rong Niang had lived in Sanyang City for many years and immediately knew which force the incident location belonged to. Afterward, she told Li Yi her analysis.

"Shipping Liu family? Very good. I remember this is also one of the forces to be cleared, and they have stained their hands with the blood of many Zhao Shiwu Arts School disciples." Li Yi said.

"Yes, Master is probably dealing with this matter." Rong Niang said.

"What's the situation? Go over and take a look and you will know." Li Yi said.

Soon, the two rode fast horses and rushed over quickly. Before long, they saw a big river passing through Sanyang City, and there were many ships docked on the river. Near the largest wharf, many people gathered, and vaguely, a bloody smell drifted over.

It seemed that not long ago, a slaughter had occurred here.

Li Yi rode past and saw many corpses soaking in the water nearby. The strength of those corpses before they died was not bad; there were Bone Cultivation, and also Bone Cultivation, and among them were many Blood Cultivation martial artists.

"Saw it, Junior Sister is on the roof over there, she is fine." Suddenly, Rong Niang pointed and had already found Zhao Qian, who was squatting on the roof holding a sniper rifle.

At this moment, the sniper rifle in Zhao Qian's hand seemed to be aiming in a direction, as if wanting to shoot and kill some enemy at any time.

And in the crowd ahead, there were sounds of fist force echoing, and at the same time, there was aura raging, as if Meridian Cultivation experts were fighting.

"Are there still Meridian Cultivation experts in Sanyang City? Go, rush over immediately." Li Yi's eyes condensed, feeling a bit surprised.

The water in this Sanyang City was too deep.

Whether it was Master Zhao Ge or Rong Niang, they only knew on the surface that the masters of the Han and Jin martial arts schools and the City Lord of Sanyang City were Meridian Cultivation experts. In fact, after truly stirring up the water, Meridian Cultivation experts popped up one after another, such as the old servant in the City Lord's Mansion, the Chief Escort Leader of the Wei Wu Escort Agency... plus this one, three more Meridian Cultivation experts had appeared.

? ￠o

However, Li Yi could understand it. After all, in such a large Sanyang City, it was normal to have a few hidden experts.

At the same time.

In the crowd, Zhao Ge was fighting with an old man who was over seventy, with white hair and beard, and a dead air all over his body.

"Liu Taigong, didn't you die early five years ago because of blood-energy loss? The Liu family even held a funeral for you. Didn't expect you to fake your death and still live in the world at over seventy." Zhao Ge roared at this moment, threw a punch, fist aura gathered, and the essence of the Hanshan Fist was displayed to the fullest by him.

However, this Liu Taigong's state was very bad. He opened his eyes wide, one arm had been shattered, leaving only a little flesh. At this moment, he could only support himself with one hand and fight with Zhao Ge.

Both Meridian Cultivation experts were not in their peak state.

Zhao Ge's serious injuries hadn't healed, his spirit was damaged, and he couldn't exert much of his strength. And Liu Taigong was old and weak, his blood-Qi was declining, and he had lost an arm. Even so, the moves between the two were fierce and sharp, determined to kill each other.

"I faked my death because I was afraid that the Liu family would encounter such a disaster after I died, so I secretly protected them. Didn't expect that the first person to take action against me would be you, Zhao Ge. When you were young and seeking teachers everywhere, my Liu family even subsidized you. Didn't expect you to be so heartless and want to seize my Liu family's three generations of family business?"

Liu Taigong was very angry. He was also a martial artist who learned boxing. He threw a punch, fist aura exploded, and the killing intent was full, but it was a pity that he was old, his strength was insufficient, and he didn't have the courage of his youth.

"Your Liu family is worthy of mentioning the subsidy? When I broke through to Meridian Cultivation and founded the Zhao Shiwu Arts School, I don't know how many troubles I helped your Liu family solve openly and secretly. Even after you faked your death, the Liu family was secretly taken care of by my Zhao Shiwu Arts School. As a result, your Liu family? Seeing that my Zhao Shiwu Arts School had an accident, in order to completely clear the relationship, you killed my martial arts school disciples more diligently than anyone else. Now the heads of my Zhao disciples are hanging on the flagpole of your shipping wharf."

"With your Liu family's wolf-hearted and dog-lunged things, you are worthy of talking about feelings?"

Zhao Ge roared at this moment, shaking the soul, and also revealed the ugly side of the Liu family.

"More talk is useless. Since you want my Liu family to perish, I will drag you into the coffin together."

Liu Taigong suddenly let out a long roar. At this moment, he no longer endured it. His heart-blood exploded, like eating a big tonic medicine. His whole body's blood-Qi boiled, and his originally shriveled skin and flesh instantly regained vitality.

The whole person seemed to be twenty years younger, and a strength of his peak period surged out quickly.
