Chapter 848: Chapter 399: Li Xian Blocks the Road, Vengeance is Instant, County Captain Kong Li, Please Dismount!

"And I, being here under such circumstances, will capture and bring him to justice. This performance is truly eye-catching. How can I not make it into the Gold Appraisal Guard!"

Magistrate Kong was extremely excited, lit a signal flare and leaped from his horse. The Horizontal Saber was unsheathed in an instant, slashing downward towards Li Hengfeng. Li Hengfeng raised an eyebrow and shouted, "Good saber!" He hooked the unconscious yamen runner on the ground with the tip of his foot, grabbed him by the collar with one hand to use as a shield and simultaneously touched his lower back with his left hand, pulling out three black darts, ready to shoot at the right moment.

Unexpectedly, Magistrate Kong’s Saber Momentum did not stop and was about to cleave the yamen runner in two. Li Hengfeng cursed, "You scoundrel, even more ruthless than I am!" He fired the black darts prematurely to delay Magistrate Kong’s Saber Momentum for a moment. He threw the constable elsewhere and then raised his palm to catch the blade with bare hands.

Li Hengfeng knelt on one knee, and as the knee hit the ground, the blue bricks instantly shattered into fragments, turning into debris all over the ground. Magistrate Kong’s muscles and bones were tough, mainly practicing crude and barbaric Martial Arts. Li Hengfeng took advantage of the momentum to fall back heavily on the ground; it wasn’t that Magistrate Kong’s Saber Momentum was too fierce that forced him down, but rather intentional, shattering the blue brick fragments on the ground into the air, shooting towards Magistrate Kong.

Magistrate Kong’s Horizontal Saber was held between Li Hengfeng’s palms. The strength of the flying debris was not to be underestimated, several hitting acupressure points. In an instant, the advantage turned into a disadvantage. In a panic, white light burst from his body, resisting the onslaught of the stones. Little did he know, Li Hengfeng, with seasoned experience, his limbs were long and nimble, shot out the blade with the tip of his foot, hooking upwards, aiming directly at Magistrate Kong’s navel.

Magistrate Kong’s mind was thrown into disarray, the protective white glow gathered at his abdomen to fend off the blade, while blue brick fragments and debris struck several acupressure points. The debris pulverized into powder, leaving red marks on Magistrate Kong’s body, instantaneously making him ache and numb. Despite suffering injuries in this confrontation, Magistrate Kong wasn’t gravely harmed.

Li Hengfeng’s moves were continuous, taking advantage of Magistrate Kong’s acupressure points being struck, the moment the body ached and grew numb. Twisting his palms, he attempted to snatch Magistrate Kong’s blade. How could Magistrate Kong let him have his way, stomping hard, blowing powerful Inner Qi, causing the ground to tremble thrice. Li Hengfeng, lying on the ground, was shaken into the air. Magistrate Kong seized the momentum to wave the Horizontal Saber, intending to hurl Li Hengfeng into the air. One swing didn’t succeed, so he swung again with a backhand.

Li Hengfeng’s lightweight skill was excellent, his body light and buoyant. Like a flag fluttering, Magistrate Kong’s saber acting as a flagpole. Li Hengfeng’s hands remained on the saber, but his long legs would occasionally kick, hit, poke, and sweep downward. Magistrate Kong was drenched in sweat, struggling to parry, unable to contend with Li Hengfeng.

Li Hengfeng laughed, "You dummy, still want to catch me?" Suddenly he let go of Magistrate Kong’s Horizontal Saber, his body gently adhered to Magistrate Kong’s back. Magistrate Kong flailed his saber in a panic, yet couldn’t hit his back. Moreover, he found Li Hengfeng’s hands like long snakes, his limbs both long and supple. Passing under his armpit, coiling up to the elbow, winding through the forearm, wrist, until Li Hengfeng’s palm pressed against Magistrate Kong’s palm back. Their arms became one!

Following suit, right hand, right leg, and left leg did the same. Li Hengfeng adhered to Magistrate Kong’s back, locking hands with hands, locking legs with legs. Their figures almost seemed to overlap.

Magistrate Kong’s whole body went numb, couldn’t muster any strength. His hands and feet were unyielding, his body uncontrollable. Li Hengfeng’s breathing rhythm changed, with each breath his body deflated a little, his figure gradually faded. Later, Li Hengfeng deflated like a "human garment," attached to Magistrate Kong’s back, at first glance, seemed to vanish into thin air, as if fused into one with Magistrate Kong. Magistrate Kong opened his mouth to speak but found it hard to do so. A voice came from the back of his neck: "You dummy, don’t struggle, obediently let me command you and help me escape. I don’t harm lives." ℴ

Magistrate Kong picked up a robe, covered the figures of both, then mounted the horse and fled into the distance. After traveling several miles, Magistrate Kong let out a long "whoosh," stopped the horse, and shouted, "Who stands ahead, I am Magistrate Kong of Ximen County, make way quickly!"

Li Xian had been waiting for a long time, laughed, and said, "Great! Great! I was waiting for Magistrate Kong." He stood in the middle of the road and shouted, "Magistrate Kong, please dismount!"

(ps: Happy New Year! May you all prosper greatly in the New Year!)
