Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist

In these recent days, Elder Qingxuan spends ten out of the twelve hours each day helping the Thunderbolt Army with alchemy.

The rest of the time, he is locked in this iron cage.

Elder Qingxuan normally wouldn't help Li Tunshan with alchemy.

But Li Tunshan threatened him with the lives of his two Alchemy Daoist Children, so Elder Qingxuan agreed.

After Qiu Yu found Elder Qingxuan, she was delighted and was about to call Su Que over.

Suddenly, the two sides of the tent bulged unexpectedly.

Then, the bulges burst open, fabric fragments flying everywhere.

Two shadows dashed through the fragments, attacking Qiu Yu!

Qiu Yu was momentarily shocked that there were still people inside, taken aback.

She flew backward while flicking her arms, tossing out flying sabers.

Ten flying sabers shot towards them, five aimed at the person on the left, five at the person on the right.

The next moment, the person on the right deflected the flying sabers with both fists.

The person on the left, wearing metal finger guards, caught the thin wire with both hands, gathered it and pulled hard!

This person's Martial Arts Realm was higher than Qiu Yu's, and his strength was immense.

Qiu Yu's voluptuous body was immediately lifted into the air.

In shock, she hurriedly used True Qi to sever the wire, then twisted her waist to turn and escape.

She hadn't expected that there would be skilled fighters in this tent!

Moreover, after engaging them, she realized both were stronger than her.

Especially the one wearing metal finger guards, much stronger than her!

'The rescue mission has failed, we must retreat!'

Qiu Yu decisively made up her mind, puckering her red lips under the mask to whistle and signal the others to retreat.

But the one with metal finger guards followed closely, forming a claw with his right hand, slashing at Qiu Yu!

Qiu Yu perceived this and used her Lightweight Skill to dodge.

The claw missed, but erupted with fierce Vigorous Qi!

With a swish, Qiu Yu's night traveling attire was suddenly torn apart, revealing white skin and five deep, grim blood marks.

As Vigorous Qi entered her body, Qiu Yu's whistle leaked, only producing a faint sound.

...

Li Tunshan and Li Xuanji, engaged in the fight, had already heard the commotion coming from the other side of the camp.

Li Xuanji and the others knew that Su Que and the team had made a move.

Li Tunshan wasn't surprised when he heard it.

He had prepared for this.

Though his two centurions were killed,

upon reporting to the Court, the Court was far removed from here, even if they sent people, they wouldn't arrive quickly.

After capturing Elder Qingxuan, he suspected someone would come to rescue him.

He planned to capture them all in one fell swoop.

But he and his subordinates could only keep Elder Qingxuan but might not retain the intruders.

He urgently needed manpower, so he used his connections to borrow people from other Prefecture Cities.

Li Tunshan, because of his formidable skills, had some influence in the entire Southern Domain's officialdom.

When he asked, the other Prefecture Cities generally wouldn't refuse.

The two hiding in Elder Qingxuan's tent are centurions from two other Prefecture Cities.

One is called Fan Yingfei, has opened ten meridians, excels in Claw Technique, nicknamed "Skull-Breaking Claw".

The one with metal finger guards is him.

The other is called Dai Hui, has opened nine meridians, and his "Mountain-Breaking Fist" is renowned.

Li Tunshan guessed the enemy might use a diversion tactic, so he had these two dress as ordinary soldiers, pretending to be guards.

Even to his close confidants, he didn't reveal their identities.

Therefore, Li Xuanji's spies naturally didn't know these two were actually powerful Meridian Opening Realm experts.

Li Tunshan, seeing his prediction was accurate, was extremely satisfied with his arrangement, and couldn't help but slightly smile.
