Chapter 932: Chapter 421: Unparalleled Beauty, Alas a Short Life; Gaining Martial Arts Again, Shock and Slay the Petty!

Li Xian thought to himself, "Well, I’m no saint; everyone has their own fate, so let it be." He drank several sips by himself.

Hong Dexin and Wang Jue sneered inwardly, both thinking, "With such a thin face, you dare to show off." With a few orders, the team set out swiftly and reached the shore. Hong Dexin suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Li, I’m straightforward by nature, not very versed in worldly affairs, and often get reprimanded for it. If I had offended you during this fortnight, please don’t take it to heart."

Hong Dexin patted his chest and said, "Just now, I stopped the soldiers from drinking because it’s the rule, fearing it might delay important tasks. I hold no intention of opposing Brother Li. Also, drinking with these soldiers, what’s the fun? If Brother Li wants a drink, why not board the ship? During this time, we brothers can have a good drink together?"

Wang Jue laughed and said, "Indeed, indeed. I’ve admired Brother Li for a long time. To my shame, although we have worked together on the island for quite a while, due to busy affairs, the three of us have hardly had leisurely chats."

Li Xian was surprised and laughed, "If you truly have this intention, that would be excellent!" Wang Jue laughed and said, "So, Brother Li agrees?" Li Xian said, "Hahaha, being able to drink with the two of you is truly a rare delight. To speak from the heart, when I first met you, I thought you might dislike me, but today, with you inviting me, it’s indeed a great honor."

Hong Dexin said, "Excellent, then please Brother Li, oh! No! Brother Li, board the ship first. My two younger brothers will accompany you."

Li Xian laughed and said, "I’m humbled!" He was the first to step onto the ship. Hong Dexin and Wang Jue closely followed. The three of them walked to a cabin where food and wine were already prepared.

Li Xian was clear in his heart: "These two have a good ploy. Before the ship sails far, there are many variables, fearing I might cause chaos aboard, or change the situation in various ways. That’s why they prepared food and wine early, to lure me into eating and drinking. By the time I come back to senses, the ship has already reached the depths of the lake. At this time, the plan becomes foolproof." Pointing to the table full of food and wine, he feigned surprise and said, "Dear brothers, this is..."

Hong Dexin laughed and said, "Hahaha, the food and wine were prepared early, wishing to bond with the elder brother. Rest assured, this feast is absolutely non-toxic. Let me taste test for you."

Saying so, he tried a bite from each dish. Li Xian said, "Hahaha, excellent, excellent, sit down quickly and let’s eat and drink together."

The three of them toasted each other, drinking three cups in succession. The wine was fragrant and rich, yet shook the spirit. At this time, the Tiger Python ship gradually sailed into the lake. Hong Dexin and Wang Jue exchanged glances, feeling their deceit had succeeded, and praised, "We brothers have long been curious about how Brother Li performs the Dubhe Saber Technique so smoothly and naturally."

Li Xian said, "Oh? To be honest, it was taught to me by a master, with the secret essence of the Dubhe Saber Technique, allowing me to progress rapidly."

Their eyes lit up instantly, immediately toasting and asking. Li Xian said, "Do you two want to learn? I’m happy today and willing to teach, but this big secret must never be passed on. Please dismiss everyone else and close the doors and windows."

Hong Dexin and Wang Jue were extremely tempted, hearing Li Xian say the Dubhe Saber Technique has other secrets, and not just talent. They wanted to learn, achieving perfection in the future, and gain another martial art skill, truly a rare opportunity. They immediately did as told, dismissing the surrounding soldiers far away, ordering them not to approach.

Returning to the room, they closed the doors and windows again. The two asked again, "Brother Li, we’ve done as you said, please speak."

Li Xian said, "You two are very sincere, very good, very good, but there’s one more step, you need to acupressure your mute points, no matter what you see, don’t make a sound."

Hong Dexin and Wang Jue grew wary instantly, realizing something was amiss, thinking, "This ship has a peculiar structure, closing doors and windows would already make it difficult to eavesdrop. Now asking us to silence ourselves, somewhat malicious..." They exchanged glances, suddenly felt tension and a faint chilling murderous aura enveloping.

Li Xian laughed, "What, dear brothers, don’t trust me? That’s fine, I don’t trust the two of you either." Slowly standing up, he gently drew out his Horizontal Saber, with intent infused, its sharp gleaming edge flashing, its cold scathing the skin. Sunlight shone through the window paper, reflecting on the saber, onto the silver mask.

With the saber unsheathed, the silver mask gleamed even brighter. Hong Dexin and Wang Jue felt the danger deeply, slapped the table and rose, shouting, "Li Xian! What do you intend to do!?" But the doors and windows were shut, soldiers dismissed, despite the loud voice, it couldn’t pass beyond the room.

Li Xian didn’t speak, gently rotating the saber edge, its reflected light sprinkling over their necks. The intent was clear.

Wang Jue felt a sudden chill in his heart, his hair stood on end. Fear turned to anger, he immediately drew his saber to attack first. Li Xian held the saber with one hand, stood still, only gently vibrated the saber, instantly knocking away his saber, then lightly lifted the saber, placing it on his neck.

This momentary pause showed Wang Jue a glimmer of hope, just as he was about to beg for mercy, he felt his gaze shift upwards, seeing the wood panel above. He thought, I didn’t look up, why is my gaze shifting upwards? Trying hard to adjust his head, to look directly at Li Xian. Yet his gaze continued to move back, seeing the table and chairs behind. Then the vision changed rapidly, heaven and earth spinning, ending with a dull thud sound.

It turns out... just now, his head had already been severed, rolling backwards. He retained a shred of consciousness, feeling a pang of sorrow. Rolling all the way, stopping at the desk leg, his vision still lingered for a moment. 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

He happened to see Hong Dexin’s frightened expression, petrified, about to flee and scream, yet suddenly captured by Li Xian’s hand on his chin, the terrifying intimidation and disparity leaving Hong Dexin paralyzed. Immediately after, Hong Dexin caught fire, rolling and exploding, blazing waves surging.

Decisive action, in just a split second.
