Chapter 162 Battle
When Li Yi walked into the lobby of the mansion, Fan Zhizhou had been sitting in a chair waiting for quite some time.

"Lord Fan, I'm sorry. I was practicing martial arts just now and was delayed for a while. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for too long." Li Yi said politely. After all, the guest is a guest, and he can't just keep him at a distance. He still has to take care of the situation.

"Brother Li." When Fan Zhizhou saw Li Yi, he hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"City Lord Fan, please take a seat."

Li Yi nodded and gestured, "City Lord Fan must have something important to tell you today. Let's not beat around the bush and say those polite words. Just tell me what's going on. I'm not from the four seas and eight continents, so I don't like those etiquettes."

"Quick talk, okay, then I'll speak frankly."

Fan Zhizhou smiled and said, "I came to visit you for two reasons. The first is the Yin Horse that Brother Li asked me to find. I found four of them, so I just brought them to you this time. It's a pity that time is short, otherwise I could have found more. But don't worry, Brother Li, I will continue to have people collect them. They are not precious objects, but they are rare and hard to find."

After he finished speaking, he gestured, and immediately a beautiful maid appeared behind him, carrying a box and placing it aside.

After opening it, there were indeed four clay horses neatly arranged inside.

Li Yi said: "It is enough that City Lord Fan has this intention."

These four Yin Horses plus the three in his hand are enough for the short term, so there is no need to rush to look for them.

"As for the second matter, it was about the ghosts and gods taking away the life yesterday." Fan Zhizhou said here, he sighed and said, "Brother Li rode his horse to kill ghosts late at night yesterday, and took away the life of the ghosts and gods. It really caused trouble. Just today, the Yin God from the Meng family in Qingzhou has noticed the problem in Sanyang City. Now they have sent a powerful practitioner of Gang and five masters of practicing Qi from the Meng family. They are here together to deal with Brother Li, this anomaly."

"My Fan family's spy in Qingzhou just received the news and sent it to me this afternoon, so I couldn't wait to visit you and quickly inform Brother Li of the news."

Li Yi's eyes moved and he asked, "The Meng family of Qingzhou? Isn't Xingzhou under the jurisdiction of your Fan family? Why do you want to involve another aristocratic family?"

"Brother Li, you don't know this. The ghosts and gods collect birthday gifts from across states. For example, the Meng family of Qingzhou collects birthday gifts from the people of Xingzhou, while my Fan family collects birthday gifts from the people of Yanzhou. The noble families of the eight states do not collect birthday gifts in their local areas. This is a rule set a thousand years ago. The purpose is that the ghosts and gods above want to instigate internal strife among the eight kings and prevent the eight kings from joining forces. Therefore, there have been constant fights and frictions between the eight kings for thousands of years."

Fan Zhizhou said helplessly: "Although everyone knows this plan, people's hearts are complicated. Who doesn't want to collect more life span? But if too much is collected, the people in the state will die early. If too many people die, reproduction will not be timely, and life span is unwilling to decrease, then it will only cause more deaths. In this way, the state will be in chaos. Forget it, it's useless to talk about these things. Brother Li should think about how to deal with that powerful man who practices Gang."

"I know your strength, Brother Li. Even if the five masters of Lianqiao join forces, they are definitely not your opponents. The real threat is the one who Liangang is."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yi, hoping to get some answers from Li Yi's expression.

However, Li Yi did not show any panic, his face was surprisingly calm, and even a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "A powerful cultivator? He is here to kill me. It is not difficult to kill him."

"Brother Li is so confident?" Fan Zhizhou was surprised.

Don’t you take the powerful martial artists seriously?

Li Yi said, "City Lord Fan, I hate it when the younger ones are killed and the older ones come. It's endless. What I want to know is, after killing this powerful practitioner, will there be another powerful practitioner?"

"Absolutely impossible."

Fan Zhizhou said immediately, "The Meng family of Qingzhou has less than three powerful spirit-cultivating warriors at most. They are very serious about dispatching a martial artist of the Gang Realm to handle this matter. If Brother Li can really kill him in Sanyang City, then the Meng family of Qingzhou will only compromise, and even ghosts and gods will intentionally avoid Sanyang City in the future. One city for one peace, this deal is worth it for them."

"After all, the Meng family in Qingzhou is a large family with a lot of power and they need experts to guard many places. If they put the top forces of the family on the line for such a small matter, once something goes wrong, the Meng family will be finished."

As a disciple of an aristocratic family, no one understands the family's way of doing things better than Fan Zhizhou.

Assuming that Li Yi can kill even the strong ones in the Lian Gang realm, then the Fan family will have to mobilize the strong ones in the Lian Shen realm. However, these strong ones are the family's stabilizer and pillar. How could they take action for such a small matter? It's just a mere Sanyang City. It wouldn't matter even if the life span of the whole city was given to Li Yi.

But the prerequisite is that Li Yi can kill the strong man with Lian Gang ability.

If you can't kill them, everything else is just empty talk. Only if you have enough strength will you be qualified to make the Meng family of Qingzhou compromise.

"Since the younger ones won't be beaten and the older ones are here, I feel relieved. City Lord Fan is kind enough to tell me such important news. I am really grateful." Li Yi said solemnly.

"Brother Li, you are too polite. My advance notice won't help much. The enemy will arrive in Sanyang City tomorrow, and they won't be able to do much in one day. Of course, Brother Li can take advantage of this day to cross the border and leave to avoid their attack. It won't be too late to deal with such an enemy when Brother Li's strength improves."

Fan Zhizhou said, and this was also his original purpose.

He didn't think Li Yi could kill Lian Gang, so he wanted Li Yi to evacuate the world first and come back when he became stronger.

After all, his chance to cross the border lies in Li Yi. Without Li Yi, he would be trapped here for the rest of his life and would not be able to see the wider world outside.

"Knowing in advance that the enemy is coming, I can prepare for it. This is still very important. As for escaping across the border? That's not necessary. I still have some confidence. But since City Lord Fan has told me such important information, why don't you just be a good person and help me be a middleman to contact that master of Lian Gang and pass on a message for me." Li Yi's eyes flickered and he spoke. "Just pass on a message? That's not a problem. I wonder what message Brother Li wants to pass on." Fan Zhizhou asked.

Li Yi said: "Tomorrow at noon, outside Sanyang City, at the foot of Daqing Mountain, I will arrive as scheduled and challenge that martial arts master to a duel to determine who is better and who is worse."

"Ask for a fight?" Fan Zhizhou was stunned, then asked, "Brother Li, are you really so confident that you can defeat that martial arts master by yourself?"

Li Yi said calmly, "How can I dare to fight if I don't have confidence? Besides, only by killing that powerful practitioner can the matter be settled, right? If I really run away, the first ones to be unlucky will probably be my master, and those junior brothers and sisters. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. I might as well fight him."

"That makes sense, but I can take care of the Zhao family martial arts school. After all, Xingzhou is managed by our Fan family, and the Meng family can't interfere in the affairs of the living world. But the matter of ghosts and gods taking away life span is something that our Fan family can't do. If Brother Li doesn't resolve this matter, the ghosts will come again on the first day of next month, and it is estimated that it will not only take away one month's life span, but probably one year, ten years, or even twenty years of life span."

Fan Zhizhou felt somewhat helpless when he reached this point.

"But if Brother Li can defeat the powerful Lian Gang warrior, and if my Fan family intervenes, the incident of Sanyang City's death can probably be avoided in the future."

"Very good, that's enough." Li Yi said.

"Since this matter has been decided, I will ask someone to arrange a fight today." Fan Zhizhou asked again, wanting to confirm it one last time.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Tomorrow at noon, at the foot of Daqing Mountain, I will fight with Lian Gang. This matter has been decided and will not be changed. After killing Lian Gang, City Lord Fan, I will owe you a favor. In the future, cross-border matters will not be a problem."

He also reciprocated the favor and once again made a big promise.

"Okay, then I wish Brother Li a successful return tomorrow." Fan Zhizhou was delighted, then he stood up and saluted again, saying, "I will take care of this matter right away, but Brother Li, don't worry. If anything unexpected happens, I will also come forward to ensure that Brother Li is safe."

"Don't worry, we can't lose." Li Yi smiled.

Seeing Li Yi's confidence, Fan Zhizhou felt relieved and immediately stood up to say goodbye.

Li Yi did not try to keep Fan Zhizhou and watched him leave.

To be honest, he was not sure that he could defeat a strong man who practiced Falun Gong in a head-on fight, but he was a prisoner of the earth. This time he came to the world with a sniper rifle. It was a special model designed to deal with extraordinary creatures, and its power was terrifying.

If you have a gun but don't use it, you are not a master.

"You dare to challenge me to a fight. Isn't this courting death? Outside the Daqing Mountain, there is a fertile plain. There are no obstacles within a radius of more than ten kilometers. If you dare to come over, aren't you a moving target? A master of Lian Gang? I think you will die by the gun." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart.

While others compete with each other in martial arts, I use a gun. I will let you people from all over the world see what a naturally evil prisoner is.

He just didn't believe that the internal energy of a powerful practitioner could block the bullets from a sniper rifle.

"Meng De, are you there? Master is here to look for you. I heard that you are leaving in a few days. Is that true?"

suddenly.

Just as Li Yi was thinking, Zhao Ge's powerful voice was heard in the front yard. From the voice, it could be judged that Zhao Ge's injuries had healed and he had returned to his peak condition.

Li Yi came back to his senses and looked outside the lobby.

But Master Zhao Ge appeared with Zhao Qian, Rong Niang, Shou Hou and others.

Obviously he heard that Li Yi was leaving, so he came over to see him.

"Master." Upon seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Zhao Ge nodded, "Yes, your strength has improved again. You are already training your marrow, right? The progress is very fast, but it still needs some time to polish. Meng De, Rong Niang just said that you are leaving the four seas and eight continents. Is this true? Your martial arts training is only at the bone training stage. Your martial arts training is shallow. You should stay in Sanyang City for a while, at least practice to the blood training stage."

Li Yi said: "I came here in a hurry to save Master this time, and I didn't handle many trivial matters at home, so I wanted to go back in a hurry. After I have dealt with the matters at home, I will naturally return to Sanyang City. It's not like I will never come back."

"I see. I understand." Zhao Ge stroked his beard and smiled when he heard that Li Yi would come back. "But Meng De, since you have so many trivial matters at home, why don't you take Zhao Qian and Rong Niang with you and let them go with you? That way, there will be someone to take care of the family, which can save a lot of trouble."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Qian and Rong Niang blushed.
