After Ma Chenggong had left, the street finally returned to normal. The previously scattered crowd gradually returned, and then Li Xuan and the others were forcefully stuffed with a pile of gifts – cucumbers, tomatoes, hollow heart vegetables, over ten kilograms of pork, umbrellas, bamboo horses, and so on. They had everything.
Perhaps because there was not much damage to the items at the scene, the people on this street were all teary with gratitude. Yue Qianqian, who received the most gifts, saved several lives with her Jinzhong talisman.
Peng Fulai had a complicated expression: “These are all worthless things, not at all necessary, yet why do I feel pretty good?”
“Indeed, it feels quite happy.” Zhang Yue also stroked his chin: “It feels completely different from the usual visits to the brothel for music.”
Li Xuan didn’t care at all, he gave away these gifts one by one along the way.
The four of them continued their street patrol, and they didn’t encounter any ghosts until they dismissed in the evening. The red-dressed female ghost’s deterrent power was still very strong. Those evil spirits beneath the sixth house level didn’t dare to approach this street during their patrol.
The flow of people on this road from Ertou Bridge to Confucius Street could tell. The bustling here was only less than the regions directly governed by Zhuque Hall’s Fumo Xiaoweis.
The common people are all clear sighted, they vote with their feet.
By this time, even Ma Chenggong felt surprised. When they were handing over work, he was puzzled: “That’s unreasonable. I personally eliminated five ghost evils today. Are they all blind? Can’t they see that you are the team with the worst cultivation?”
The reason he trusted Li Xuan’s team to patrol the street was that these few guys were all wealthy and had a decent fighting power with their magical instruments and talismans; secondly, the road from Ertou Bridge to Confucius Street was close to the area directly governed by him and Jiang Hanyun. He and his superior could provide reinforcements at any time, guaranteeing safety.
However, what actually happened was quite different from what he imagined.
Previously, most parts of Nanjing City were calm, and there were only occasional small-scale ghost disturbances on the streets.
But the numerous incidents in the city in recent days highlighted Li Xuan’s area of responsibility.
Except for the Eye-Stealing Demon early in the morning, the street that Li Xuan and his team were responsible for, surprisingly, turned out to be the calmest and safest area in the entire east of Nanjing.
“Isn’t it obvious? These ghost evils were naturally scared away by me, Li Xuan, the Divine Blade.”
While Li Xuan was telling the truth, Ma Chenggong didn’t believe it and instead reached out to touch his forehead to see if he had a fever or was drunk.
But that night after returning to the Earl’s mansion, Li Xuan just ate a few bites of dinner and then practiced his blade technique in the backyard. Especially the ‘Thousand Miles Thunderstorm’ move from the Huandian Knife, which he used to kill the Eye-Stealing Demon that day.
Li Xuan felt that he had already opened the door to the “Shi”of Martial Law at that time.
‘Martial Shi’, to put it simply, is to use all factors in the surrounding environment, even in the world that are beneficial to oneself, and incorporate them into one’s own moves when fighting the enemy.
This is a broad concept, although it is one of the thresholds for beginning Wu cultivators, it can supposedly be used even at the heavenly level, with many levels.
At the moment when he killed the Eye-Stealing Demon, Li Xuan not only identified the opponent’s weak point, but he also instinctively used everything he could use at the time.
The surrounding terrain, changes in spiritual power, the thick water vapor, the sharpness of the waist knife itself, and the height difference between the two sides, and so on had all become his ‘Shi’.
Strange enough, the martial secret moves he practiced most skillfully were naturally the ‘Frozen Blade’ and ‘Cold Breath Fierce Palm’, but surprisingly, he had a breakthrough on the ‘Huandian Knife’, coming into contact with ‘Shi’ first.
Right in this backyard training field, spanning a hundred feet in diameter, Li Xuan guided the thunder with his blade, constantly moving around. His gestures were somewhat like ‘Chidori’ in the animation Naruto.
His approach was to start from a point and then extend to the surface. First, he would practice the move ‘Thousand Miles Thunderstorm’ until he was proficient and could freely use the martial ‘Shi’, then extend to other knife moves in the ‘Huandian Knife’, and finally to the ‘Frozen Blade’ and palm and finger methods.
During the day when patrolling the street, Li Xuan had already substituted his hand for the blade, carefully pondering for half a day. At night, he verified his thoughts and ideas with real swords and guns.
It’s worth mentioning that Li Chengji had been watching all along, his face was full of gratification and his eyes flashed with surprise from time to time.
It wasn’t until his oldest son, Li Yan, arrived: “Dad, are you so bored that you can find his pathetic martial arts skills interesting?”
He gazed at Li Xuan, noticing that the latter had his blade closed to his chest, seemingly in deep thought.
“Your brother’s progress is much faster than yours was. As long as he maintains this passion for martial arts, he will eventually secure a place among the Grand Masters of the martial arts in the Great Jin Dynasty.”
When Li Chengji said this, his expression changed slightly: “Xuan, it’s no good to learn in isolation like this. Fortunately, Yan is here, let him give you some pointers to help you grasp things better.”
“He’s gotten that bad at it?”
Li Yan walked up to Li Xuan somewhat incredulously, continuing to scrutinize him: “Even if he was possessed by the Ancestors, he couldn’t be this bad. Have you grasped your Wu Yun? Can you control your Zhenyuan smoothly?”
“Yan, go fetch a weapon!” Li Chengji reminded him, stroking his beard.

“No need.”
But then, Li Yan’s eyes brightened, and he began to chuckle amicably: “Little brother, how about we make a bet to give you a little incentive?”
He brought out a stack of silver banknotes with a face value of a thousand patterned silvers and waved them around: “We are betting on your ‘Hanjiaojue’. If you can scratch my clothes or hair today, these silver notes are yours!”
Li Xuan couldn’t help but snort: “Do you think I’m an idiot?”
He knew his abilities. If Li Yan was serious, ten of him might not be able to scratch the opponent’s hair.
At the same time, Li Xuan was curious. His brother seemed to be very interested in this ‘Hanjiaojue’, but why?
“I won’t use my right hand, just a tenth of my strength,” Li Yan continued his gentle persuasion: “Apart from blocking normally, I promise not to fight back, and there’s no time limit. Father said your progress is good, which means you must have improved. Have a little confidence in yourself, little brother.”
However, Li Xuan shook his head: “Even if you can’t fight back, what difference does it make if you use your right hand or not? It would be different if you didn’t use your right foot.”
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Alright, I’ll just use one foot.”
Li Xuan paused, looking suspiciously across at him: “Are you serious?”
Seeing Li Yan’s laid-back expression, he turned to his father: “Father, could you please bind my brother’s leg so he doesn’t cheat?”
Li Chengji glanced at Li Xuan, then at Li Yan, appearing to hesitate. In the end, he sighed, walked over, and placed his finger on Li Yan’s thigh. He then patted Li Yan’s chest.
“Let me try it first!” Li Yan hobbled around a bit, hopping from left to right, then smirking, “It’s quite awkward, but it’s enough to deal with you. Come on…”
He looked at Li Xuan dismissively, crooking his finger at him: “Let’s see how far you’ve progressed in your martial arts recently.”
Now that his younger brother had agreed to the bet, there was no need to flatter him anymore.
Li Xuan took a deep breath, calming his emotions like cooling ice. All his thoughts were consumed by ten thousand patterned silvers, ten thousand patterned silvers, ten thousand patterned silvers! Ten thousand patterned silvers!
An overwhelming desire to win welled up inside him, and a faint ‘killing intent’ emanated from Li Xuan’s body.
A person’s momentum, will to fight, determination, and confidence can also be categorized under ‘Shi’. And at this moment, in Li Xuan’s eyes, Li Yan had turned into a heap of shimmering silver—simply called ‘Silver Man’!
Li Xuan felt his fighting spirit instantly reaching its peak.
