Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Shattered book pages fell before Zhou Ziqun's eyes, the fragmented pieces piecing together a sentence.

‘Spare the rod, spoil the child…'

Li Guanqi silently watched this scene.

Luo Ming kicked Zhou Ziqun in the abdomen.

This kick directly broke several of Zhou Ziqun's ribs!!

The sound of cracking bones echoed.

Zhou Ziqun spat out blood, his body hunched over as he lay on the ground, twitching slightly.

The reason why a mortal youth could withstand an immortal's strike was entirely due to Luo Ming holding back his strength.

“Every time you look at me, it makes me feel very uncomfortable…”

“Wouldn't it be better to just be your idiot self?”

“The Zhou family is long gone. The fact that you and your father are alive is due to the benevolence of our Luo family. You should be kneeling on the ground, filled with gratitude.”

The muscles on Zhou Ziqun's face contorted into an uncontrollable sneer.

His eyes shifted, looking at Luo Ming as he slurred.

“Your self-esteem… is pathetically fragile and sensitive.”

“Idiot?”

“Although I, Zhou Ziqun, cannot control my trembling body.”

“From the bottom of my heart, I hold myself three mountains higher than you!!”

When Zhou Ziqun spoke these words, Li Guanqi's heart was shaken!!

He found it hard to imagine that these words could come from the mouth of a boy considered an idiot by the world.

A youth with such profound insights was trapped within this body, and Li Guanqi felt a pang of pity.

Perhaps provoked by Zhou Ziqun's words, Luo Ming's eyes were filled with anger.

He stomped on Zhou Ziqun's ankle!!

Crack!!!

Bones were crushed, and flesh and skin were ground into minced meat.

The horrifying wound was shocking to onlookers, but they dared not speak, and could only turn their heads away.

“In my eyes, you are nothing but an ant-like waste!!”

“You should be prostrating on the ground, looking up to me!!”

“I'm three mountains higher than you?? Hahahahaha!!”

“Today, I will break both of your legs and see how you can be higher than me by three mountains!!”

Having said that, the young man directly lifted Zhou Ziqun's head and mocked him.

However, the always silent Zhou Ziqun, with his joints twisted, used a piece of gravel in his right hand to carve a sentence, stroke by stroke, on the brick wall behind him.

“Heaven and earth have righteousness!”

Luo Ming looked at this scene with a mocking expression, wanting to see what this waste could do.

As the last stroke fell, the blue brick actually emitted a faint cracking sound.

Li Guanqi's heart trembled. Within those seemingly clumsy carvings was actually contained a wisp of extremely pure sword energy!!

Luo Ming felt a strange sense of unease.

With a wave of his hand, he slashed off Zhou Ziqun's right hand with his sword!!

“Courting death!!”

Although Zhou Ziqun's voice was trembling and blurred, and even his speech was slow.

He seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart.

“Heaven and earth have righteousness, mingled and flowing in various forms…”

“Below, they are rivers and mountains; above, they are the sun and stars!!”

The moment the sound rang out, everyone was stunned. Zhou Ziqun, who had been curled up, straightened his back without anyone noticing.

Although saliva still dripped from the corner of his mouth, his hazy eyes were surprisingly bright.

Each time he spoke a word, the blue brick on the stone wall behind him would turn into dust!

Li Guanqi couldn't understand this power.

Clearly, the young man lying on the ground had congenitally blocked meridians, unable to condense spiritual energy within his body, let alone release sword energy…

As expected!

When Zhou Ziqun's voice, filled with anger, fell, that wisp of sword energy suddenly shattered!!

Upon seeing this, Luo Ming immediately revealed a look of joy, with no attempt to conceal the killing intent in his eyes!!!

The sword in his hand also shifted its target from Zhou Ziqun's wrist to his head.

If this sword were to strike, Zhou Ziqun would undoubtedly die.

Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and he ultimately couldn't help but take action.

With a wave of his hand, a thunderous sword, fully ten zhang in length, instantly fell from the sky!!

Boom!!!

The thunder sword instantly sent Luo Ming flying dozens of zhang. The old man hidden in the crowd flashed forward to catch the young man, but was also sent flying dozens of zhang by this force!!

“Who dares to attack our Luo family!!”

Zhou Ziqun lay on the ground, his right hand severed, and multiple bones throughout his body fractured. The intense pain blurred his vision.

However, he still desperately turned his head to look at the tall figure standing in front of him.

Li Guanqi's hands hung slightly, and his gaze towards the old man was frighteningly calm.

A mere glance caused the old man's limbs to stiffen, his entire body as cold as if several sword blades were pressed against his neck, rendering him unable to move.

Li Guanqi's emotionless voice slowly came.

“He is just an idiot, why be so aggressive.”

The old man suddenly felt the pressure around him lighten. He grabbed Luo Ming's mouth, who was struggling in anger, and instantly suppressed him with a powerful surge of immortal essence.

Then, he bowed deeply to Li Guanqi, cupping his fist with a solemn expression.

“Thank you, Senior, for showing mercy.”

After speaking, the old man took a deep look at Li Guanqi and transmitted his voice solemnly.

“If you don't want to cause trouble, I advise you to leave Jianshui with the Zhou family father and son tonight!!!”

The old man's eyes flickered as he left with the struggling young man in luxurious clothes.

After the old man left, the crowd gathered here gradually dispersed, and the street returned to its bustling state.

Li Guanqi raised his hand and infused a wisp of immortal essence, helping Zhou Ziqun recover from his injuries. The fractured bones healed instantly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Ziqun shakily climbed to his feet, enduring the intense pain in his ribs, and bowed with twisted fingers to Li Guanqi.

“Zhou Ziqun, thank you, Immortal, for saving me.”

“I am still young and have no special skills and am unable to repay my benefactor.”

“I can only remember this great kindness in my heart and never forget it.”

Li Guanqi squatted down, looking at him with gentle eyes.

He sensed confidence and self-love in Zhou Ziqun.

From the bottom of his heart, he did not take his current physical defects seriously. On the contrary, he showed no fear of the纨绔子弟 like Luo Ming.

“You don’t seem to be… an idiot, just unable to control your own body?”

Zhou Ziqun smiled openly, drooling slightly.

Li Guanqi did not show any disgust and took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.

However, this action made Zhou Ziqun feel a little uneasy. When he looked at Li Guanqi's pure white eyes, his heart was shocked.

He did not see any discrimination in Li Guanqi's eyes, which made the young Zhou Ziqun feel complicated and a little closeness in his heart.

“My father once said.”

“People are divided into two types.”

“One… is that the elderly are taller.”

“The other is the heart.”

Li Guanqi said in admiration.

“Your father is a very excellent father!”

However, at this moment, urgent shouts suddenly came from afar.

“Jun'er!! Jun'er!!!”

Li Guanqi followed the sound and was shocked by what followed.
