Chapter 132 Catching a Knife Barehanded, Severing Black Iron with Fingers!
"cousin?!"
Qiao'er and Meng Yan stood there, stunned, with different expressions.
The former was simply shocked; he hadn't expected Li Wudao to have a royal background, no wonder he acted without restraint.
The latter, while shocked, was mostly deep in thought.
"Cousin, what brings you to the capital? Did you come to visit me?"
“A while ago, when my mother went to the temple to pray for blessings, she kept saying that she wanted to see you. I didn’t expect it to come true so soon.”
Li Nanzhi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at the boy with some anticipation.
Eight years have passed in the blink of an eye, and she was still a little excited to see her childhood playmate again.
"So, who is it? You're the good-for-nothing prince who caused such a stir in the capital years ago?"
Meng Yan stared intently at Li Wudao, then suddenly clapped his hands and chuckled.
Immediately, he looked at the girl in purple and sneered, "Princess, in my opinion, this boy probably couldn't make it outside, so he thought of coming to the capital to seek refuge with you."
After saying that, he still couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance at Li Wudao.
Previously, he had introduced himself and the young man dared to use such ruthless methods, which made him somewhat suspicious and unsure, fearing that he had kicked a hornet's nest.
But now that they know Li Wudao's identity, that last bit of concern has vanished.
A prince from a collateral branch of the royal family, who was also a mediocre good-for-nothing, was not worth his attention at all.
"Thank you for your concern, Aunt. I'm in the capital on business and will be leaving in a few days."
Li Wudao remained calm and responded indifferently.
He didn't look at Meng Yan once from beginning to end, as if he were ignored like air.
"what......."
Hearing that the boy hadn't come for her, Li Nanzhi felt a little jealous.
She quickly composed herself and said with a smile, "It's alright, your cousin isn't angry. It's rare for you to come to the capital, why don't you come to the Prince's Mansion for a while? My mother misses you too."
"it is good--"
Li Wudao pondered for a moment and then nodded.
When he first arrived in the capital of Dayu, he had no connections.
With the power of Prince Rui's mansion, finding out Li Jing's whereabouts should not be difficult, and it is worth taking advantage of.
Upon hearing his agreement, Li Nanzhi's eyes lit up, and she immediately tried to pull him downstairs.
"No rush, let me take care of them first."
Without making a sound, Li Wudao turned around leisurely, his cold gaze falling on Meng Yan and the others.
They had previously threatened him in every way, even calling for his death, so it was impossible to let it go so easily.
"You... want to take care of us?"
Meng Yan pointed at the boy, then at the people around him, and sneered incredulously:
"You're a piece of trash who can't even break through to the early stage of body tempering in five years. Do you even know what you're saying?"
As he spoke, he burst into laughter, as if he had heard the best joke in the world.
"Cousin, you........"
Li Nanzhi's pretty face changed slightly. She pulled Li Wudao aside, winked, and whispered:
"These four guards are all experts specially arranged by the Marquis of Zhennan to protect Meng Yan. One of them is not far from the late stage of the True Yuan Realm. Even I have no chance of winning, let alone fighting four of them alone..."
In the end, the implied meaning should not be too obvious.
It wasn't that she intentionally belittled Li Wudao.
In her memory, her cousin was mediocre in martial arts, considered the worst among the royal disciples, and even regarded as a disgrace to the royal bloodline by the royal family.
She was exceptionally talented from a young age. Although she did not enter a sect to cultivate, her cultivation speed never lagged behind. At only seventeen years old, she had already broken through to the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm, making her one of the top geniuses in the imperial city.
Even she couldn't handle these guards, let alone her cousin.
"Young master, perhaps... we should just forget about it?"
Qiao'er also offered her advice.
Those guards all looked fierce and menacing, and they seemed like they were not to be trifled with.
Li Wudao was handsome and fair-skinned, and seemed harmless, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Kid, you're barely out of the woods yet, and you think you can take us on? How laughable!"
"For the sake of the princess, we won't bother arguing with you. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"
The guards looked impatient, their gazes towards Li Wudao filled with contempt.
"Young Li, you can tolerate this? If it were me, none of them would survive!"
Seeing the boy's calm and composed expression, the green-haired turtle couldn't help but move closer, peeking out with a cheeky grin, looking like it was enjoying the show.
Li Wudao glanced at it with annoyance.
That damned bastard, he does nothing all day but is always eager to stir up trouble.
The four guards were delighted to see the boy approaching them.
"Hey, is this kid crazy?"
"Go easy on him, don't kill him outright, that's no fun."
"......"
Hearing the unbridled mockery, Li Wudao's eyes turned cold. Without uttering a word, he flashed away, leaving an afterimage in his wake.
The next instant, he suddenly appeared in front of a guard.
Immediately, under the other party's panicked gaze, he casually snapped their neck and threw them on the ground like trash.
The whole audience was silent.
The entire restaurant was silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.
A True Essence Realm expert was instantly killed just like that?!
"this........"
Li Nanzhi's mouth gaped slightly, feeling somewhat incredulous.
When did his cousin become so strong?
"This kid's strength is suspicious!"
"Let's do it together!"
Seeing their companion fall to the ground in the blink of an eye, the remaining three guards' expressions changed drastically, their breathing became labored, and they were on high alert.
These guards, being specially selected elites, did not panic in the face of such an unexpected turn of events; instead, they remained calm and gave their all.
"Ah-"
"call out--"
In an instant, from three directions, fists, legs, and knives attacked from all angles with cunning and fierce intent, aiming to take Li Wudao's life!
"Lord chicken and dog!"
Li Wudao muttered to himself.
His stance was casual, yet his attacks were exceptionally fierce. He first smashed a man's sternum with a single punch, and then, at the last second, he perfectly used his sword fingers to catch the cold blade right in front of him, without moving an inch or sustaining any injury.
"Catching a blade bare-handed?!"
Everyone was horrified and gasped in shock.
Facing an attack from three True Yuan Realm experts, he not only instantly killed one of them, but also managed to catch the blade between two fingers. What incredible skill and spirit that is!
"Crack!"
Before the shock in everyone's eyes had faded, a crisp metallic sound rang out.
As Li Wudao exerted force with his fingertips, the precious sword made of black iron trembled and suddenly broke into several pieces.
Under the guard's horrified gaze, he watched helplessly as the boy used his own blade to slit his own throat, dying instantly.
At that moment, the last guard had already raised his foot and attacked from behind, the sharp edge of which made the boy's hair flutter.
Li Wudao remained expressionless, picked up a blade in mid-air, and flung it backward without turning his head.
"puff!"
A flash of white light appeared, and a bloody hole appeared in the center of the last guard's forehead. His pupils widened, and he fell to the ground without uttering a sound.
A long silence fell over the entire room.
Everyone stared at the boy standing before the four corpses, frozen in place, speechless for a long time.
These are four experts at the True Essence Realm, comparable to the foundation of a second-rate family in the Great Yu Imperial City.
They died in just a few breaths, leaving them feeling as if they were in a dream, a sense of unreality washing over them.
"Is this still my good-for-nothing cousin?"
Li Nanzhi's beautiful eyes were glazed over, her emotions fluctuating wildly.
One against four!
Catching a knife bare-handed!
A finger can sever black iron!
In every aspect, she felt inferior and conceded defeat.
Especially in such a dangerous situation, to be able to make calm judgments and reactions, and to use someone else to do the dirty work, is truly astonishing and unheard of!
Li Wudao's strength far exceeded her expectations; he truly made a name for himself.
"So young master is this strong."
Qiao'er covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
This young man, whom I only met once, not only came from a distinguished family but was also a powerful figure who kept his abilities hidden.
"Wow, big brother is so amazing!"
The little boy looked at him with adoration.
Li Wudao paid no attention to the reactions of the crowd and walked towards Meng Yan on his own.
At this moment, the latter stood frozen in place, shaking his head repeatedly, muttering to himself as if he had lost his mind:
"How is this possible... He's just a good-for-nothing, how could he suddenly possess such strength?"
As Li Wudao drew closer, Meng Yan finally came to his senses. His face turned ashen, and he staggered backward, completely unlike his previous domineering self.
"What are you trying to do? My father is the Marquis of Zhennan. If you dare to kill me, believe me, you won't see the sun rise the next day!"
Hearing the other party's blustering but cowardly threat, Li Wudao smiled indifferently.
He was just a spoiled brat; killing him was a good deed, a way of ridding the people of a scourge. He had no qualms about it.
Moreover, he doesn't even respect the Emperor of Dayu, let alone a Marquis of Zhennan.
Just as Li Wudao was about to make his move, Li Nanzhi stopped him, shaking her head and saying, "Others can die, but Meng Yan cannot be killed, at least not here."
"What, are you going to stop me?"
Li Wudao's eyes turned slightly cold, signaling the girl to give him a reasonable explanation.
Without sufficient reason, even his cousin could not sway his will.
