Chapter 947 - 425: Stunning Sword Skill! Fame Soars—In July’s Glory, I Alone Am Li Xian! (Part 3)

It was determined that he fled into the desolate mountain.

Using the Tiger Python Order, they mobilized constables from surrounding towns and the county government office, then recruited Li Kuo, Chang Zixqiang, and Yao Fan, three Gold Appraisal Guards, to assist and began their search in the mountains.

In a desolate mountain temple, they found traces of the ruthless bandit. Li Kuo, Chang Zixqiang, and Yao Fan formed the Drum Beating God-Slaying Formation to assist and harass the bandit from the side. John Li confronted him head-on.

The ruthless bandit was cruel, using strange techniques. He extracted the intestines from live humans and woven them into long whips. With a flick, they wrapped around and entangled, incredibly bizarre and hard to deal with. Moreover, his martial arts were peculiar. After bathing the intestines in a medicated bath, they became even more tenacious, capable of digesting flesh and corroding foes.

If ensnared by this strange object, one would soon turn into a mass of bloody pulp. But John Li ultimately succeeded in capturing him, with no casualties among the soldiers and riders, meticulously arranged.

From that day on, John Li began to frequently tackle Tier Four Tasks. Wearing the Tiger Python attire, he truly possessed the nature of a tiger and a python. First, like a venomous python, he watched for opportunities, secretly investigating, waiting to discern the difference between friend and foe, then, like a fierce tiger, he struck and killed abruptly.

Because he often encountered ruthless bandits with strong abilities, John Li's prowess, his experience in dealing with enemies, and his understanding of martial arts... all were gradually honed, matured, and elevated through battle after battle.

John Li first experienced hundreds of life-and-death duels in the Willing Death Valley, with only pure martial art technique contests involved. His martial fighting prowess could be called terrifying. He transformed decay into miracles, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.

No matter how strong the martial arts of the enemy, John Li could simply rely on the Dubhe Saber Technique and Stone-Pushing Palm Technique to suppress them, leaving them no room to breathe or display their skills. After this pursuit and capture of bandits, his many prior insights corresponded with the present.

His fighting was increasingly like flowing water, everywhere showing an unspeakable elegance, pleasing to the eye. Several Gold Appraisal Guards inadvertently glimpsed John Li fighting bandits. Afterward, when speaking with colleagues about the matter, they unabashedly expressed their admiration for John Li, with deep respect. They further told companions that if they could learn even half of Li Jinzhang's combat skills, they would have no regrets in life.

There are tens of thousands of martial arts styles in the world. Some families boast profound heritage and teach their young generations with painstaking care, allowing them to master martial arts with great success or even perfection. But those who form their unique style are extremely rare!

Even if there are such individuals, they must have undergone numerous days of arduous tempering, emerging with fierceness, viciousness, rigidity, or antiquity... styles vary greatly. John Li's style exudes ease and elegance, crisp and decisive, extremely rare. Sometimes in combat, with just one or two saber strikes, it leaves others contemplating for a long time, imprinted in their hearts. In idle moments, it naturally resurfaces, savoring the saber's flair, deeply entranced.

Thus... John Li's unique conduct, formidable capability naturally stood out. It's said that he struggled in Jade City for several months, enduring hardships and challenges, passed through frost and blades, and finally in early July, truly emerged!

Until now, John Li has only shown the "Dubhe Saber Technique." But as more cases were handled, more people gradually witnessed him employing the saber technique. The Gold Appraisal Guard's "Dubhe Saber Technique" suddenly garnered the attention of many.

From the western city clan, "Yao Clan" and "Su Clan," numerous young prodigies and heroes of similar age heard the rumors and gradually took notice of the "handsome-haired, ugly-faced Li Jinzhang," having heard the Gold Appraisal Guard possesses a fine martial art "Dubhe Saber Technique."

With clan brothers and cousins serving as Gold Appraisal Guards, they sought their guidance, sparking a "Dubhe Saber Technique" craze. However, when witnessing the clan brothers and cousins performing the Dubhe Saber Technique, they found it exceedingly stiff and awkward, lacking the rumored elegant and carefree spirit.

It lacked the ease of mastering ten thousand transformations at will.

Due to John Li, the Gold Appraisal Guards and riders only realized the "Dubhe Saber Technique" could be so powerful, its execution so thrilling and outstanding. They emphasized practicing the Dubhe Saber Technique, and during evening training at the Marquis shop, they were heard whipping up a storm, practicing the Dubhe Saber Technique fervently.

Lei Chong was greatly displeased yet powerless to do anything. His sense of crisis intensified, knowing that even with his role as a director, he couldn't match John Li's decisiveness and efficiency in solving cases and capturing bandits. With just the Dubhe Saber Technique, Li Jinzhang's reputation began to surface in the city.

He made a group of proud young clan heirs humble themselves, seriously studying the Dubhe Saber Technique. He knew that he could never match John Li's capability in solving cases. Sometimes he'd reflect, "General Xu intends to make use of this kid, but could he truly constrain him? I fear not, probably!"

Furthermore... although the Dubhe Saber Technique is indeed remarkable, what makes it so spectacular is John Li wielding it. Lei Chong and John Li are already polarized, destined to have one vanquished. He plots to harm him opportunistically, determined that his next strike will be pinpointed, leaving no chance for survival.

Before that, with John Li's "extremely ugly appearance" as an excuse, he spread rumors, tarnishing his reputation, believing he grasped John Li's weakness, using this as a vicious attack.

By July seventh.

The Dubhe Saber Technique gradually became well-known. Jade City constantly had various forces entering and leaving, outside martial artists coming to Jade City also began to hear about the "Dubhe Saber Technique," curiously investigating. Rumors started circulating that "Dubhe Saber Technique, one saber Dubhe, two saber defective, three saber defeat."

It turned out that the Gold Appraisal Guards, emulating John Li, used the Dubhe Saber Technique first in every encounter. But they couldn't fully comprehend and integrate the "take yourself as the pivot" principle, causing their moves to fail smoothly connect amidst combat.
