Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Da da da!

A series of rapid footsteps slowly approached, causing Li Guanqi to frown.

The man outside the door, with a sinister look in his eyes, wore a long robe made of animal skin, possibly from a fox or some other demonic beast.

The dark, shiny fur collar was stained with blood, sticking together.

With a rugged face, his hair was braided and tied up, and a golden-ringed broadsword hung at his waist.

He wore a string of beast teeth around his neck, and his gaunt face had three hideous, twisted scars. His skin was dark, and his eyes were sharp.

After ascending the stairs, the man headed straight for Room Two of Tianzi.

The suppressed pressure slowly spread out. Without a word, he channeled his Yuan power and kicked violently at the door!

Li Guanqi narrowed his eyes. Meng Wanshu was still taking a bath, yet this man was kicking the door without saying a word?

"Humph!"

Whoosh!!

Li Guanqi teleported outside the door. The man didn't stop his force even when he saw a handsome, scholarly-looking young man standing in front of him.

The bustling crowd in the restaurant had already been attracted by the commotion.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Oh no, that young man is going to suffer."

"If that kick lands, even if he doesn't die, he'll probably be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life."

A flash of cold light suddenly flickered in Li Guanqi's eyes!!

His right hand formed a sword with his fingers and instantly slashed across his body!!

Pfft!!

Screech!!

Thunder roared. Many people didn't even see what happened before the man's leg was instantly severed!!

The man's expression changed drastically. Intense pain struck him, and a sense of fear filled his heart!!

Boom!!!

An inexplicable pressure descended, targeting only the man. He couldn't even let out a scream as he knelt heavily on the ground.

Bang!!

His head smashed the blue brick floor into pieces, and his forehead was a bloody mess.

Li Guanqi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the man and said softly, "Don't come and provoke me."

With that, Li Guanqi released the pressure and flashed back into the room.

The man's face was pale, and his pupils, as tight as wheat awns, trembled wildly. He buried his head in the broken blue bricks, not daring to move.

Until Li Guanqi returned to the room and his aura dissipated, he held his breath, trembling, and whispered.

"Thank… Thank you, Senior, for not killing me…"

"I'll get out of here… I'll get out of here…"

As he spoke, the man pressed his head to the ground and moved backward little by little.

He reached out to grab his severed leg, but whoosh!!!

A sharp thunderous sword light flashed and disappeared!!

His entire palm was cut off at the wrist, and a huge gash was cut into the floor of the閣樓.

Li Guanqi's cold voice slowly came: "Did I let you take it?"

The man was terrified, enduring the pain of his severed hand and leg, and retreated step by step downstairs.

The stairs from the first to the sixth floor were covered in blood, but the man didn't dare to stand up.

Only after the man left did the people in the entire restaurant gradually discuss what had just happened in low voices.

Without exception, everyone was very curious about who the guest in Room Two of Tianzi was.

The female shopkeeper was shocked, but she didn't dare to disturb him in the slightest, nor did she mention changing rooms.

In the room, Meng Wanshu smiled and said, "Why such a big temper?"

Li Guanqi curled his lips: "I don't like the look of him. You were taking a bath, and he dared to kick the door!"

Meng Wanshu smiled, thinking that was true.

Li Guanqi had already shown restraint by not directly killing him.

The matter of Ye Feng had been bothering him, and in this situation, someone came to cause trouble. Li Guanqi had indeed shown mercy by not killing him.

Li Guanqi didn't take this matter to heart. If the other party wanted revenge…

Li Guanqi's eyes slightly glanced in the direction of the window. The man was leading a group of people away in a mighty manner.

Even when leaving, the man didn't dare to look upstairs.

Li Guanqi snorted coldly. If the other party wanted revenge, he wouldn't mind venting his anger.

Pan Yi's face was extremely gloomy. He didn't expect that such a strong person would exist in a small Qixia City!!

This time, he had kicked a steel plate.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Pan Yi had only gone upstairs, and then he came out of the restaurant on his knees with a severed hand and foot, shocking everyone.

The man said in a cold voice with a gloomy expression: "There is a strong person here. I was just blind."

However, the man also sighed: "The other party was very restrained. I can count myself lucky to have survived."

Pan Yi's face was a little ugly as he said, "Find a random restaurant to stay in. You personally make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion and say I have something urgent and will go in an hour."

There was no way he could meet the City Lord of Qixia City in this state. What a sight he would be with a severed hand and foot.

After the group left, Li Guanqi sat at the table in a daze.

Then, he took out an ancient jade slip and said softly: "Grandpa, I plan to have a few of my brothers become disciples of the Eight Generals. What do you think?"

Soon, the jade slip lit up slightly, and Su Xuan's voice slowly came.

Meng Wanshu, who was taking a bath behind the screen, held her breath and listened attentively.

"Yes, you can contact Dragon Marquis privately."

"But… I can't guarantee whether they will accept them or not."

Li Guanqi's expression froze. He didn't expect his old man to say such a thing.

He had already bragged about it: "Grandpa, my dear grandpa… I already told them to let the Eight Generals take them in."

Su Xuan sat on the chair, his lips slightly raised, and tapped the table beside him.

"The matter of accepting disciples is extraordinary. The Eight Generals will also have their own ideas."

"It depends on whether your brothers have talent. I will pass it on."

Li Guanqi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It would be ridiculous if there was no hope at all.

He was about to put away the jade slip when he heard Su Xuan's voice again!

But this time, the old man's voice became a little dignified.

"Guanqi, for a long time to come, the Eight Generals may not appear in the outside world."

"This also means that the means Grandpa can use to protect you are getting less and less. Everything depends on yourself!"

Li Guanqi frowned, and his heart lake rippled like a boulder had been thrown into it.

He didn't care that the Eight Generals wouldn't escort him, but he was worried that something had happened to Grandpa that required the Eight Generals to go back and help.

"Did something happen?"

Su Xuan smiled indifferently and said disdainfully, "With me here, what could happen?"

"It's just a little more work."

"So I have to recall them all. The matter of apprenticeship can only be discussed between you and Dragon Marquis."

Li Guanqi took a deep breath and said softly, "Okay, I understand."

After putting down the jade slip, Meng Wanshu frowned and said, "Is Grandpa Su's matter very difficult?"

Li Guanqi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As long as the old man says he's fine, then he's definitely fine."

"At least… it hasn't reached the point where he thinks it's difficult."

Li Guanqi, who was getting up, said softly: "It seems that there are still some twists and turns in the matter of their apprenticeship."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanqi couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, those are the Eight Generals… Apprenticeship isn't that simple."

Li Guanqi's mind raced, and he murmured softly: "If I remember correctly, there are still a few Eight Generals candidates like Qin Wushang, right?"

Qin Wushang was the Sword Chief candidate that Nangong Xuan had crossed over!

And he was very curious about how strong the old man named Dugu Lingxiao was.
