Looking at Xu Wenxuan who was resisting the sword aura with all his strength, Li Mugui was secretly satisfied in his heart.
After breaking through the later stage of the second realm of martial arts, the deepening degree of the "Swordsman" effect had indeed greatly improved.
Even without additional effects being activated.
This cold and piercing sword aura still seemed to turn into a tangible force!
Suppressing everyone present, daring them not to move!
"That's right, what do you want from this city lord?"
Li Mugui's voice was still so flat.
At this moment, he was full of the scent of alcohol, and his clothes, which had not been changed for a month, looked sloppy.
However, as long as one felt that increasingly powerful aura.
That vast and unparalleled sword aura.
Anyone would understand.
This seemingly young and free-spirited man was an unparalleled swordsman!
Xu Wenxuan took a deep breath, unsure if he was tired from the intense battle just now or because he was facing Li Mugui directly.
Why did he have such a terrifying aura?
Xu Wenxuan didn't understand.
Among the young generation in Dongshan Prefecture, his strength was already outstanding.
He had challenged countless people, and countless people had challenged him.
Many of them were also swordsmen, and some even came from Xichuan.
But none of them gave him a stronger sense of oppression than the one in front of him.
The sword aura on Li Mugui's body seemed to slice through heaven and earth!
"I," Xu Wenxuan took a deep breath, strengthened his conviction, and said, "I am Xu Wenxuan, the third son of the Xu family. I have come to challenge you today!"
However, there was a lack of confidence in his words.
Upon hearing this, Li Mugui raised an eyebrow.
The Xu family?
If he remembered correctly, the Xu family was one of the three prominent families in Dongshan Prefecture.
Anyone who heard this name would surely be intimidated.
However, Li Mugui couldn't back down.
If someone came to challenge you and you backed down, how could you ever mix with them in the future?
Moreover, he had already demonstrated his sufficient strength, so there would be no shame in refusing to fight.
After all, Xu Wenxuan was also a respected figure, and he wouldn't be so shameless.
If he really insisted on fighting, Li Mugui also had a trick up his sleeve.
But then Xu Wenxuan wouldn't be able to easily get away.
"Challenge me?" Li Mugui's tone was ominous, "Have you thought it through?"
[Sheath Dragon Chant] activated!
BOOM!
A violent wind swept through!
A deafening dragon's roar echoed!
A flying dragon sword qi coiled up from the green sharp sword, soaring into the clouds!
That sword shadow grew larger and larger, eventually turning into a gigantic beast dozens of zhang long!
It was a lifelike illusion of a flying dragon, soaring in the air, its scales sparkling with cold metallic luster.
The terrifying aura pressed down like a mountain, overwhelming everything below!
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Wenxuan's eyes widened in disbelief.
Was this really sword qi?
Could a third realm martial artist really achieve this?
Why couldn't I do it?
The momentum he had just built up immediately dissipated.
This guy's level didn't match his own!
"Wait a moment!" Xu Wenxuan said in a deep voice, "There's no need to fight!"
His instincts told him that if he were to be hit by this attack, he would either die or be severely injured!
As a member of a prestigious family, he actually had a good sense of self-awareness.
As long as he didn't show too much hostility, most people would be willing to give him a face.
Saying this, Xu Wenxuan released his grip on his weapon, showing his sincerity.
Li Mugui glanced at him lightly.
The sword qi remained poised, ready to strike.
"Why don't you want to fight anymore?"
He asked calmly.
Xu Wenxuan cursed inwardly.
You're like a freaking hacker, how am I supposed to fight you?
He looked at Li Mugui with a bitter smile and said, "I have already witnessed your swordsmanship, the outcome is decided, I am no match for you."
"When I first heard those rumors about you, I thought they were exaggerations."
"Now it seems that your words are just facts."
"There is indeed no one in the young generation of Dongshan Prefecture who can match you."
Li Mugui was taken aback by these words: "Huh? What words? When did I say that?"
Xu Wenxuan was also surprised to hear this: "It's been all over Dongshan Prefecture, that you boasted that no one of your generation in Dongshan Prefecture could be considered your enemy."
Upon hearing this, Li Mugui frowned.
This didn't feel right.
It felt extremely off.
He had never said such a thing!
It seemed like someone was setting him up!
As for who would do such a thing...
Li Mugui didn't need to think hard, with his current network of relationships, there was only one person who would do something like this.
Liang Anfu, the governor of Tangwei.
What a fucking asshole!
He fell silent for a moment, and finally spoke slowly: "I never said that."
Since Xu Wenxuan wasn't insisting on fighting and he had shown sufficient strength, it was time to give the other party a way out.
As he spoke, his sword intent receded, everything returned to normal, and even the terrifying sword qi disappeared.
Xu Wenxuan also fell silent.
He understood the implied meaning of Li Mugui's words.
So he had been used as a pawn?
Xu Wenxuan thought for a long time before sighing: "I, Wenxuan, have acted rashly."
"For disturbing the city lord this time, Wenxuan hereby apologizes."
As soon as his words fell, everyone present was stunned.
Especially Pei Liangji, Dong Hong, and Pang Sheng.
They knew how arrogant and unyielding Xu Wenxuan used to be.
And yet he was now showing such humility!
After all, they weren't the ones who had faced the [Sheath Dragon Chant] sword qi directly, so they didn't know how much pressure Xu Wenxuan was under!
But after some careful consideration, they roughly understood the reason behind it.
After all, the strength that Li Mugui had just demonstrated was obvious to all.
They knew they couldn't match him either.
Seen in this light...
In the face of such a powerful opponent, it wasn't shameful to show a little humility.
Li Mugui saw that Xu Wenxuan was willing to apologize, so he naturally wouldn't push the issue.
However, he looked around at the situation, especially at his newly repaired city lord's mansion gate, and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you've apologized, I won't make things difficult for you."
Xu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid of dying, he was afraid of losing too badly and losing face.
That's why he chose to concede so quickly.
With the kind of aura that Li Mugui had, he was certain that no young person in Dongshan Prefecture could defeat him.
Once people recognized Li Mugui's strength, they would understand how quick,free and easy, and wise his concession was.
Li Mugui ignored his thoughts and continued, "But in the end, you still injured my guards and broke the gate of the city lord's mansion for no reason. This account still needs to be settled."
Xu Wenxuan, knowing he was in the wrong, straightened his face and said, "Wenxuan is not an unreasonable person. This time, I was misled by a villain and ended up here. Naturally, I should pay the corresponding price."
"Please rest assured, City Lord Li, that I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"
Upon hearing these words, Li Mugui nodded in satisfaction.
Very well, very sensible.
