Killing people?
Killing people was quite normal!
When rules were not enough, violence naturally made up for it.
Walking the pugilistic world, one could not avoid mortal enemies.
But why did you want to help you kill soone?
Li Yan feigned difficulty and said, "With your senior skills, I’m afraid you don’t need soone like to take action."
This Zhang Xiaoshan was no easy character.
Without knowing the reason, Li Yan would not casually take on such karma.
"Hmph! Stop playing tricks!"
Zhang Xiaoshan snorted coldly and shook his head, "Old man wants you to take action for a reason. Rest assured, killing that scum will certainly bring you benefits."
Li Yan squinted slightly, "Perhaps senior could share more?"
Zhang Xiaoshan looked outside the tent and whispered, "To tell you the truth, this tournant has already changed its nature."
"Originally, several factions competed to make a na for their disciples and to secure an instructor position at the Prince Mansion, also to foster good relations with the future Prince Wuchang."
"But with those fifty slots, the problem grew bigger."
"The Yan Sect people were the first to break the rules, knowing their chances were slim, they brought in external help, reportedly a skilled Eight Extres expert from Cangzhou who also knows Martial Arts..."
"Afterwards, the Pai Sect and others followed suit, and the Xicai Sect also brought in senior experts from their sect, it’s a complete chaos."
"Them doing these flashy things doesn’t matter, we still handle our matters the usual way, but soone has invited an old enemy of mine."
Li Yan was surprised, "In the Ezhou pugilistic world, there are still people who dare go against you, senior?"
Zhang Xiaoshan’s dead fish eyes widened, his face somber, "There are many more skillful than I, but this person is different, a scoundrel from Xiangxi who uses Ge Nian."
"His na is Yang Yun, nicknad ’Lustful Snake,’ a mber of the Xiangzhou Snake Sect, sinister and despicable, known for accepting secret contracts to kill. If he encounters won while killing, he will surely commit heinous acts."
"One of my disciples was hard by him."
The old man’s eyes flashed with killing intent, gritting his teeth, "Both the court and my Zhenwu Palace have issued bounties."
"But this person, knowing he has many enemies, is usually very cautious, disguising himself and hiding in various places. This ti, he sohow accepted the Pai Sect’s money to co fight."
Hearing about killing soone like this, Li Yan questioned, "What’s the matter, senior still has reservations about dealing with such a scoundrel?"
"Old man got tricked!"
Zhang Xiaoshan gritted his teeth, "Because this tournant is special, a few days ago, an old guy proposed that no matter who cos, all pugilistic feud must be temporarily set aside."
"I didn’t care at the ti, didn’t expect it to be a trap, even if old man broke the word and took action, that old thing Dong Su would definitely stop ."
"I see." Li Yan suddenly understood.
Dong Su was just another Dan Strength expert at the Ezhou Chamber of Comrce back then, short and robust, bald in a black robe, practicing the Monk Fist, with a relatively high position in the Brotherhood.
Li Yan made special inquiries afterward.
This old man when young also had a bad temper, with frequent clashes with Zhang Xiaoshan, half their lives tearing each other down, though not coming to blows, they both wished the other dead.
Given a chance, they would never miss an opportunity to trip the other.
As for the other old man with white hair and a cane, he was an elder from the Confucian Sect, known not only for teaching but also being a respected elder of Ezhou’s Fish Gate Fist, with high prestige.
Dong Su clearly just wanted to see Zhang Xiaoshan embarrassed.
Taking action would an breaking one’s word and being obstructed, and by then the person could escape, leaving Zhang Xiaoshan utterly furious.
Thinking of this, Li Yan asked, "Since the Pai Sect invited that Lustful Snake Yang Yun, they must be no good, right?"
Zhang Xiaoshan didn’t hold back, directly saying, "That lustful thief practices the Seven-step Snake Fist, at the peak of Hidden Energy, coupled with the Snake Sect Poison Gu Secret thod, he’s ferocious and difficult."
"When you had a conflict with the Pai Sect’s Shichen, that man is narrow-minded, he’ll definitely take the chance to hit you hard."
"Others might not know, but old man knows that you, young fellow, can definitely wipe out that Lustful Snake."
Li Yan hesitated, "After all, he’s from the Snake Sect..."
Zhang Xiaoshan impatiently waved his hand, "You’re not even afraid of the Ghost Sect, still afraid of that Snake Sect? Speak, what terms do you want?"
Li Yan squinted slightly, "Easy, I’m currently honing my boxing, I wish to ask senior for so guidance."
Zhang Xiaoshan was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Hahaha... even the disciple’s grandsons in my gate don’t want to spar with , you asked for it. Co find in the martial hall after the tournant."
"No need, how about now!"
As Li Yan spoke, he began to remove his gear, handing over the Duan Chen Blade, Thunder Fire Pills, and Duan Chen Sleeve Blade to Wang Daoxuan beside him.
Zhang Xiaoshan frowned, "You’re just about to enter the ring, fighting for five consecutive days. Are you not worried about being distracted?"
Li Yan’s eyes were calm, he slowly assud a boxing stance and said in a deep voice, "I’m entering the ring this ti just to find soone to spar with, I’m not afraid at all!"
"Good!"
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed heartily, tossing his large opium pipe to a nearby disciple, "Go, cover the tent, guard the entrance."
"Yes, master!"
A few disciples imdiately stepped forward, pulling out straw mats to block the outside of the tent, also stationing a few to guard it.
Although Zhenwu Palace was not thriving in incense offerings in Wuchang, nor were there many Xuann Practitioners, the power of lay disciples in the pugilistic world was not weak.
Several martial arts and escort agencies, manpower aplenty, resources abundant, tead up to occupy several tents, quite spacious.
With tables and chairs removed from the tent, it beca spacious inside.
Many Wudang lay disciples ca to watch the fun, crowding outside the tent, grinning mischievously as if waiting to see Li Yan make a fool of himself.
They knew Zhang Xiaoshan’s nature best.
As for Wang Daoxuan, he just smiled slightly, holding the weapons and stepping back.
