075. Must Kill Xiang Yu, Capture Yu Ji! Wang Jian's Surprise Attack on Outside Xianyanggong!

Inside Outside Xianyanggong!....

Looking at the newly drawn character, Facing Ying Su's eyes were practically shining!

This time, the one drawn was no other than Li Cunxiao!

Li Cunxiao!

Who is he?

How could he become an SSS-level Divine General?

No need to say more; just mentioning his ranking reveals his true worth!

Among kings, none surpass Xiang; among strength, none surpass Ba; among generals, none surpass Li; among fists, none surpass Jin!

In terms of combat power, across ancient and modern times, inside and outside, these four are absolutely the ceiling of martial prowess!

And the "King" here, without a doubt, refers to Seeing Xiang Yu!

"Among strength, none surpass Ba"; the "Ba" here naturally refers to Li Yuanba!

"Among generals, none surpass Li" refers to this very person!

He and Li Yuanba are also jointly known as the Two Fierce Men of the Li Family!

Then what skills does he possess to be ranked equally with Li Yuanba?

"Hate the sky for having no handle, hate the earth for having no ring!"

This is used to describe Li Yuanba!

But equally, it can also be applied to Li Cunxiao!

His strength is so great that he can kill a tiger with a single punch!

His battle record is so fierce that he even suppressed the Huang Chao Uprising of the late Tang Dynasty!

That's right; the Huang Chao previously drawn by Lin Si was the one he took down!

His battle record does not end there!

Li Cunxiao, also known as An Jing Si!

Legend has it that this person was born from a stone general statue and a woman!

At the age of three, just becoming aware, upon learning his father was actually a stone statue, in a rage, with a single punch, he shattered that statue into pieces!

Upon learning he had smashed the statue, the woman became furious on the spot, believing he had killed her father; thus, she ordered him to reassemble the statue, and furthermore, made him kneel on the ground to quietly reflect on his sins, giving him the name An Jing Si to warn him never to act impulsively in any matter!

At the age of ten, while herding in the mountains, he suddenly encountered a fierce tiger; seeing the tiger about to eat a sheep, in a rage, with another punch, he directly killed the tiger!

This scene happened to be witnessed by the Prince of Jin, Li Keyong, passing by; thus, he adopted him as a sworn son, named him Li Cunxiao, and he followed Li Keyong to fight in battles everywhere!

This person followed Li Keyong in battle his entire life, capturing eight forts by day and raiding three passes by night; indeed, with merely eighteen riders, he could conquer Chang'an!

Fighting his entire life, never suffering a defeat!

Indeed, as long as he participated in a battle, merely raising his banner was enough for no one to dare accept the challenge.

Even after his death, someone used his name to literally scare a contemporary famous general to death!

Because he repeatedly established Hong Hong Qigong, the common people called him the Thirteen Taibao!

In later generations, people even used "Thirteen Taibao" to evaluate someone's peerless combat power!

The most famous was Ao Bai in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

The hard martial art he cultivated was called the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Cultivation Golden Bell Shield!

And the "Thirteen Taibao" here refers to Li Cunxiao's Wu Gong!

This person almost became a synonym for peerless bravery!

As for battle records, although he did not possess Li Yuanba's terrifying feat of fighting over two million men alone!

Yet he possessed peerless divine strength capable of pushing back eight horses and dragging nine oxen!

Besides this, there is one thing Li Yuanba could not catch up to even if he galloped!

Steel bones and iron flesh, invulnerable to blades and spears!

Yes, Li Yuanba could not let arrows get close, relying on wielding twin hammers, impenetrable even to water!

Li Cunxiao needed nothing; standing still and letting you shoot arrows, you still could not kill him!

The most famous is the story of his being torn apart by five horses, recorded in official history!

Yes, official history!

Not like Li Yuanba's fictional Du Zhuan!

After following Prince of Jin Li Keyong, although Li Cunxiao repeatedly established Hong Hong Qigong, because he did not know how to behave, he was repeatedly ostracized by Li Keyong's other sworn sons; consequently, Li Keyong also grew cold toward him!

Gradually, Li Cunxiao developed some dissatisfaction with this!

Just at this time, treacherous people framed him, accusing Li Cunxiao of plotting rebellion.

Although Li Keyong did not believe it, since someone had reported it, he could only send troops to suppress Li Cunxiao!

Due to his loyal and righteous nature, Li Cunxiao did not wish to resist!

Thus, he submitted himself to be captured; upon meeting Li Keyong, he directly explained the full circumstances to him, telling him that he never had any thoughts of rebellion!

Li Keyong also understood Li Cunxiao's nature; learning that although Li Cunxiao had grievances against him, accusing him of rebellion was indeed an exaggeration.

But... the matter at the time had become too big; merely Li Keyong himself could no longer protect Li Cunxiao.

Thus, he hoped everyone would jointly plead for Li Cunxiao, to spare his life.

But... Li Cunxiao's achievements were too great; he had long been envied by many; surprisingly, not a single person at the scene pleaded for him!

Finally, even though Li Keyong was reluctant, he could only kill Li Cunxiao!

And upon learning his fate was certain death, Li Cunxiao did not wish to resist either, allowing himself to be torn apart by five horses!

But... a shocking scene appeared!

Even though Li Cunxiao had not the slightest intention of resisting.

Yet... five horses actually failed to drag him!

In the end, it was Li Cunxiao himself who proposed to first sever the tendons in his limbs, then relax his entire body.

Only then could the five horses tear him apart!

This single passage from the official histories is enough to demonstrate Li Cunxiao's formidable prowess.

Steel-reinforced bones and iron flesh, impervious to blades and spears!

And having drawn such a figure, Facing Ying Su's eyes literally lit up.

At that moment, he hadn't even finished pulling up his trousers before rushing out to the courtyard!

And with just one glance, he saw this steel-reinforced, iron-fleshed mighty man!

At that moment, he, holding the Yu King Spear, was Li Cunxiao!

"Excellent!"

"Truly excellent!"

Facing Ying Su, excited, circled Li Cunxiao, observing him constantly.

At the same time, he could not help but ponder how exactly to arrange Li Cunxiao!

Should he let him accompany Han Xin on the expedition to attack the Xiongnu, or keep him in Xianyang City to protect himself?

To be honest, compared to Li Yuanba's terrifying combat power, this Li Cunxiao was even more suitable for protecting himself!

Not for any other reason; the mere fact of being impervious to blades and spears was enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting him.

He weighed the matter in his mind, but what exactly this man would be used for was a matter for later.

Now... Facing Ying Su directly drew a sword and asked Li Cunxiao, "May I strike you with a sword slash?"

He inquired.

It was not that he wanted to kill Li Cunxiao, but rather that he wished to personally verify the power of these steel-reinforced bones and iron flesh.

Impervious to blades and spears; in this world, who would not want to witness such a mighty man?

Li Cunxiao, for his part, was not at all polite, and nodded directly: "You may!"

"Very well!"

Facing Ying Su wasted no time, and with a single sword strike, slashed directly at his head!

Ding!

A faint sound!

Facing Ying Su's hand was numbed by the shock!

Yet Li Cunxiao, utterly unharmed!

Looking again at that bronze sword, it had actually... developed a huge notch!
