Chapter 748 - 219: Terrifying Li Yuan, Crushing the Immortal Envoy

Chapter 748: Chapter 219: Terrifying Li Yuan, Crushing the Immortal Envoy

Li Yuan held the knife, stunned and bewildered on the spot.

At that moment, the door creaked open, and a beautiful woman just waking from a spring nap, still in her undergarments, leaned lazily against the wooden door frame, her eyes quietly watching the man with the knife.

The bewilderment on the man’s face turned to desolation, and then he hastily put down the knife, the desolation changing into an awkward smile.

"Awake?"

Li Yuan said with a smile.

Xie Yu glanced around at the distant clothesline, the ribs on the table, and the tofu that had been slashed to pieces beside the stove.

Li Yuan rubbed his hands, smiling, "No need to change clothes. There aren’t many people in the mountains, just wash up and come eat."

Xie Yu looked at his hands, hesitated to speak, then nodded with a smile.

She turned around, catching a glimpse of her man cleaning up the shattered tofu.

For some reason, Xie Yu always saw endless heartache in that gesture.

But she couldn’t say it.

Because she didn’t want to rub salt into the man’s wounds.

After a while, she sat at the table in the little wooden cabin, eating the dishes her husband cooked, one bite at a time.

In the distance, peach blossom petals floated down.

Xie Yu’s long hair swayed along with them.

The beauty’s bare face still held a sprite-like mischievous charm.

Li Yuan, however, just ate with his head down.

Xie Yu’s eyes darted around, seemingly with an idea forming.

After dinner, she picked up a sword and began to practice.

She watched Li Yuan closely but secretly.

All the while, swinging her sword with each stroke.

Suddenly,

she let out an "ouch," and the sword fell from her hand.

Li Yuan asked worriedly, "What’s wrong?"

Xie Yu stamped her foot angrily, saying, "Stupid sword skill, stupid sword skill, stupid sword skill! No matter how much I practice, it doesn’t work!"

Li Yuan remained silent.

Xie Yu said, "Husband, teach me how to practice! I’m so clumsy..."

Li Yuan said, "Alright then."

Xie Yu deliberately showcased her "clumsiness" to divert her husband’s attention, sincerely hoping he could overcome the pain of "not being able to use a knife."

...

...

A few days later.

At midnight.

Li Yuan saw Peng Mi waving to him from inside the house, so he got up quietly, went to the cave, extended his Ghost Hand, and grabbed Peng Mi through the door, dragging him in front of him.

Peng Mi, already used to this, respectfully said, "Senior, Wei Huosheng took the bait. He will appear on the streets of Huakai Town tomorrow, then will capture the entity coveting Huakai Town."

Li Yuan nodded.

Peng Mi hesitated, worriedly saying, "Senior, Huakai Town..."

Li Yuan said flatly, "We won’t fight in Huakai Town."

"Yes, thank you, Senior!" Peng Mi hurriedly bowed.

...

...

The next morning.

Li Yuan looked at Xiaoyu’Er, still asleep from her spring nap, gently stroking her hair.

Xiaoyu’Er opened her eyes, revealing a smile.

Li Yuan said, "I’ve arranged to spar with someone today, need to go out for a bit."

"Who is it?" Xiaoyu’Er asked curiously.

Li Yuan said, "Just a swordsman, surname Wei, not very famous."

"A swordsman? Not famous? Tell me more."

Xiaoyu’Er blinked her eyes.

Li Yuan directly said, "Wei Huosheng, have you heard of him?"

Xiaoyu’Er thought for a moment, then shook her head. She had heard of many top practitioners among the Five Great Powers, and even the Buddhist and Daoist sects but indeed had not heard of "Wei Huosheng."

At this point, Li Yuan showed an expectant expression in his eyes, "Haven’t I forgotten how to use a knife? So I wanted to observe someone else and hopefully regain the feeling of using a knife."

When talking about this, Xiaoyu’Er’s eyes curved into crescent moons, pushing him with her hands, "Then go quickly."

But this push didn’t move Li Yuan away.

Li Yuan grabbed her hand, speaking earnestly, "If the sparring venue is settled, I’ll go to the Imperial Capital. The things I’ve promised you, I have to do them."

"Husband..."

Xiaoyu’Er hugged Li Yuan emotionally, hugging him tightly for a moment, then stepping back, clenching her little fists, shouting, "Go for it."

She was certainly worried about Li Yuan, and certainly aware of the dangers of the Imperial Capital, but... she couldn’t let go of the Xie Family that raised her, nor her second sister, father, or elder brother.

But if Li Yuan died, she definitely wouldn’t live alone.

Watching Li Yuan’s departing figure, Xie Yu closed her eyes, silently praying: Husband will be fine, will definitely be fine.

...

Soon, Li Yuan appeared in the distance,

It was in the wild mountains on the other side of Huakai Town.

In the previous days, he had already walked there, considered "uncovering the map."

At this moment, he was carrying some simple iron doors on his shoulders, then inserting the iron doors around him, thereafter sitting in a nearby cave, twisting his neck, the terrifying Hundred Feet Golden Body emerged in front of him, shining brightly, it was the blazing Immortal Appearance.

...

Xie Yu was still praying: Husband will succeed, husband is working so hard, hard work will surely pay off.

...

Li Yuan sat in the cave, the Hundred Feet Golden Body in front, and his drooping hands had already turned white.

He pressed one hand on the ground, his gaze peaceful and gentle, staring at the layers of doors.

Finally, he waited for the person in Red Armor.

He saw the numbers on the Red Armored person: "23~544" (23160~543636).

Li Yuan slightly frowned, internally remarked ’so strong.’

He quickly showed a grin.

Strong is good.

He wanted to openly and dignifiedly defeat such an enemy, then find a fighting style in this Realm.

...

Time passed second by second.

Li Yuan patiently waited.

And as the Red Armored person walked, he reached the front of an archway.

He walked through the door, but did not appear on the other side of the door, instead appearing in a wasteland.

The Red Armored person just walked out but immediately sensed something was wrong.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze.

The Red Armored person saw a towering Hundred Feet Golden Body, slightly hunched over, bending down, its indifferent eyes ferocious and greedy as they stared at the door, hands spread, posing with a "shh, quiet, I’m about to swat a fly" posture.
