The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 346: Jun Xiu vs. Phoenix (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Qu Xia showed Li Yi the strength of the Qu family with a tentative and sincere attitude. The reason why the Xiang family is the leader of the three surnames is that the Xiang family has a third-grade extraordinary warrior Xiang Xiong. Without this great man, the Qu family would have the strongest overall strength. Let's stop talking nonsense and look at Li Yi's next move.

It is said that the great talent Li Yi still had the bad habit of going to bed late and getting up late. It was almost noon and Li Yi was still lying in bed. He was awakened from his sweet dream by Xiang Ying's anxious voice and unrestrained pulling. You know, Master Wei is now wearing cool clothes.

Li Yi opened his eyes and angrily said, "Xiang Ying, what are you doing? How can you be a girl and not pay attention?"

Xiang Ying said anxiously: "Hide quickly, my brother is coming!"

Li Yi covered himself with the quilt and asked in confusion: "Xiang Ying? What is he doing here?"

Xiang Ying said: "My brother wants to fight you to the death!"

Li Yi was even more puzzled and asked, "Why do we have to fight to the death?"

Xiang Ying threw the clothes to Li Yi and said, "There's no time to explain to you. Put on your clothes and hide!"

Xiang Ying helped Li Yi put on his clothes like a maid, and the latter asked: "No, your brother can't beat me, why do you want me to avoid him?"

Xiang Ying replied: "My brother really wanted to kill me this time. He went to borrow the Phoenix Halberd from Grandpa Xiong. That is the magic weapon of our Xiang family. It was fed with the spirits and blood of several generations of masters of our Xiang family!"

Hearing this, Li Yi chuckled and said, "The Xiang family's magic weapon, the Phoenix Halberd? How scary! However, this difference in strength can be made up without weapons, so there is no need to hide."

At this moment, Xiang Ying came to the yard holding a Phoenix Halberd. The Phoenix Halberd consisted of two halberds, one long and one short. The long halberd represented the phoenix and the short one represented the phoenix. The Chu people believed in the divine bird Phoenix and thought that the Phoenix was an immortal god of war and could be reborn in fire even if it was seriously injured.

It is said that the Phoenix Halberd is made of phoenix blood and meteorite iron. As to whether this is true or not, it is impossible to verify, but it is said that the heroic spirit of the Xiang family is attached to it, and that users of all generations have fed it with blood. This is true, and it is definitely a magical weapon.

Seeing Xiang Ying's aggressive attitude, Xiang Ying immediately stood in front of Li Yi and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive! What happened between me and Master Wei is between the two of us, don't interfere!"

Xiang Ying said angrily: "Wei Le! How can a man like you hide behind a woman? Since you don't like Yingmei and you are still hiding behind her, are you still a man?"

Li Yi laughed and said, "You know you are no match for me, so you deliberately brought a magic weapon to show off. Is that what a man should do? Do you think I will be afraid of you just because you brought two sickles?"

Xiang Ying said angrily: "You will die no matter what you say today! You dare to bully my sister and not marry her! Do you really think there is no one in my Xiang family?"

Hearing this, Li Yi looked at Xiang Ying with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What did you say to him? When did I ever bully you? Did that incident in the training ground count as bullying?"

Without waiting for Xiang Ying to speak, Xiang Ying said angrily: "You hugged Yingmei and kissed her, what else do you want? Wei Le, you die!" After saying that, he swung his left hand, and the short spear drew an arc and went straight to Li Yi's waist.

Li Yi used his left hand to push away Xiang Ying who was trying to help him block the attack, and his right hand, which was shining with golden light, tried to catch the halberd. However, he was knocked away and a section of the courtyard wall was knocked down.

After a moment, Li Yi jumped into the courtyard, twisting his right wrist and saying playfully, "This is really interesting! This Phoenix Halberd is actually attached with the power of the Xiang family's ancestor's human soul. No wonder it is a magical weapon."

At this time, Xiang Ying had already taken back the short spear and said coldly: "Humph, if you were not afraid of hurting Sister Ying, the power of that attack would have been much greater! I'm afraid your arm would be broken! Wei Lenian, you just wanted to protect Sister Ying, I'll give you a chance, marry my sister, and I won't kill you!"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "You are so arrogant because you have a magic weapon in your hand. General Xiang, I still say the same thing, state of mind! State of mind is very important."

Xiang Ying pointed his halberd at Li Yi and said, "I am not here to compete with you today. If you do not agree to marry Yingmei, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

Li Yi sighed and said, "No, where do you get your confidence from? Do you think you can kill me like this?"

Xiang Ying thought that Li Yi would use Confucian and Taoist words to escape, so he immediately approached Li Yi and started fighting him in close combat, not giving him the chance to mobilize his righteous spirit.

Li Yi condensed the Vajra Power in his arms. He could not use all of the Vajra Power because his Vajra Power was purple-gold in color and was too easily recognizable. So he could only give the Vajra power to his limbs, transform it into energy with Buddhism, and use martial arts moves to deal with it.

After the two fought for several rounds, Jing Xin and her father Jing Zhi came. Jing Zhi shouted: "Xiang Ying, you know this is my Jing family's house, and this young master Wei is my Jing family's distinguished guest! You are violent in my Jing family's villa, which means you don't take my Jing family seriously!"

Xiang Ying heard this while fighting with Li Yi and said, "Uncle, I will apologize to you after I kill this thief. You can do whatever you want to me! But please don't interfere at this moment."

Jing Zhi looked at Jing Xin with an embarrassed expression. Jing Xin immediately put his hand in his father's ear and whispered, "Dad, I'm sure this young master Wei is a minister who supports the dragon!"

Jing Zhi looked puzzled, but seeing his daughter's confident expression, he confirmed again, "Why are you so sure?"

Jing Xin replied in a low voice: "Before, the elders of the clan said that a capable minister would appear in the Northern Wei Dynasty when the Purple Star was the only star in charge of the Northern Palace. Then Li Yi and Li Xiuyuan suddenly appeared. And Master Wei's talent is not inferior to Li Yi, and his martial arts are even better than his. Is there any difference?"

Jing Zhi thought for a while and nodded, saying, "I understand what you mean." Then he gathered his righteous energy and said, "Wei Le is behind me!" As soon as he said this, Li Yi was teleported behind him.

Jing Xin immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is Brother Wei injured?"

Li Yi gave her an ambiguous look, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor Jing, for your help."

Jing Zhi nodded slightly and said to Xiang Ying: "Nephew Xiang Ying, no matter what grudge you have with Master Wei, this is in my Jing family after all, so you have to follow the rules of my Jing family! I have also said that Master Wei is a guest of my Jing family. If you are allowed to injure him here, how can my Jing family still have guests?"

Xiang Ying came to Jing Zhi holding the Phoenix Halberd and saluted, saying, "Uncle, I am guilty of many offenses, but this is a matter of a woman's reputation. If I let this thief go, my Xiang family will lose face!"

Li Yi was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but Jing Xin stopped him with her hand. The message conveyed by her eyes was: Since my father has come forward, he has his own plans. Don't talk now, so as not to mess up the plan. Li Yi naturally understood and stopped talking.

At this moment, a deep and powerful voice came: "Xiang Ying, how dare you! Didn't your father teach you not to hold a weapon in front of your elders?"

The person who came was none other than Xiang Liang, the head of the Xiang family, the defender of Baidi City, the pillar of Western Chu, and the general who guarded the country. This was not Xiang Yu's uncle, but just the same name, so don't confuse them.

Xiang Liang, dressed in tight clothes with gray hair and beard, strode into the courtyard, came to Jing Zhi and saluted, saying: "Brother Jing, I am not good at educating my son, and I am even worse at educating my daughter. I am ashamed!" Then he kicked Xiang Ying in the chest and cursed: "Why don't you put away the Phoenix Halberd? Are you going to fight with your uncle Jing?"

Xiang Ying immediately put down his weapon, saluted with both hands and said, "My son, I would never dare to do that!"

Xiang Liang snorted coldly and turned around. His eyes passed through Jing Zhi and looked at Li Yi. He shouted, "Are you the Wei Le who bullied my precious daughter?"

Li Yi bowed and was about to answer when he suddenly saw Xiang Ying and Mo Bai chatting in the corner of the yard. He instantly realized that all this was a trap set by the Xiang family. He thought: Xiang Ying, you haven't given up yet! Humph, but it doesn't matter. It saves me from visiting. Anyway, I will have to go to see the boss of the Xiang family sooner or later.

So Li Yi bowed and replied: "Replying to Xiang Zhuguo, I am afraid there is some misunderstanding. I have never offended Miss Xiang Ying. Please investigate it clearly."

Xiang Liang sneered, "Investigate clearly? How many people saw you walking with Ying'er in the street and using her as a servant? How many people saw you humiliating my Ying'er at the door of the inn? Do you want me to find witnesses? You said you didn't offend anyone, but do you think you have to do something frivolous in the street to be considered an offense?"

Jing Zhi was about to speak when Xiang Liang stopped him with his hand: "Brother Jing, don't worry, I know the rules of your Jing family, and I will not do anything to you. But if your family recruits such a guest, it will ruin your Jing family's reputation. Besides, it is not appropriate for us as fathers to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation.

Besides, you know how naughty my daughter is. She finally found someone she liked, but she didn't expect him to be such a heartless person. Ying'er was so angry that she took action. You saw that she even used the Phoenix Halberd. How angry must she be! If it were me, you and I should not interfere in this matter. Let them fight on their own!"

Jing Xin naturally knew that there was something fishy going on. This was Xiang Ying's lifelong event, and as a father, how could she not care? She was about to open her mouth to ask but was stopped by her father.

Jing Zhi bowed and said, "Since Brother Xiang has said so, what else can I say? I just don't know how I want to resolve this matter? Must we decide the winner or loser, or decide life or death? In my opinion, forget about life or death, and just decide the winner or loser. If you promise that uncle, you will no longer protect him."

Xiang Ying looked at his father, who did not say anything but stroked his beard. He immediately nodded and said, "I promise you, uncle, that I will not kill you later."

Jing Zhi nodded, while Jing Xin looked at her father in surprise. She had clearly told her father the importance of Wei Le, so she didn't understand why her father acted like this.

Xiang Ying shouted to Li Yi, "Wei Le! Do you dare to compete with me in the training ground of the patrol camp?"

Although Jing Xin didn't understand, Li Yi guessed the general reason why Jing Zhi did this. The Jing family ranked last among the three surnames in Western Chu, and was not as powerful or influential as the Xiang and Qu families. This time, the Xiang family used the woman's reputation as an excuse, so naturally they couldn't forcibly protect her.

Even if Xiang Ying had the Phoenix Halberd, Li Yi was not afraid of him. He had the Measuring Ruler and the Heaven-Shooting Sun Bow, which were all magical weapons refined by Empress Tai'an. Even the Seven Deadly Swords could not be compared to the Phoenix Halberd, and the difference in strength between the two was too great. Naturally, Li Yi was fearless.

However, Li Yi was very interested in the Phoenix Halberd at this time. If he encountered it on the battlefield in the future, he was afraid that this magical weapon would cause him a lot of trouble. He also wanted to find out how the Xiang family forged and raised such a magical weapon.

So, Li Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I dare not. I guess you have a weapon that suits you. I can't get the upper hand against you with my bare hands. Although you can't hurt me, I can't beat you either. I say let's just forget about it!"

Xiang Ying shouted, "Forget it! It's about Yingmei's reputation, so just tell me to forget it! Uncle Jing, you can see the face of this thief clearly!"

Jing Zhi reached out his hand to comfort Xiang Ying, then turned to Li Yi and said, "Master Wei, it's not that I don't protect you, but your behavior is indeed inappropriate. Xiang Ying is from a famous family after all, even if you don't like her, you can't treat her like this, you'd better accept this lesson."

Li Yi bowed and said, "Doctor Jing, it's not that I'm afraid of him, but the weapon in his hand is really powerful, and I'm not sure I can defeat him."

Jing Zhi comforted him, "Just go ahead, don't worry, I'll be watching the game with you. This is a rare sight that we shouldn't miss."

Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's go!" After that, he pulled Jing Zhi out and said with a smile, "Wei Le, don't even think about running away. Don't think that no one in Baidi City can stop you! Change into clothes that can give full play to your strength and fight with my son. I want to see how strong this fourth-grade Confucian and martial artist is."

Xiang Ying raised his double halberds and glared at Li Yi, then left with his father. After everyone left, Jing Xin ran over and pulled Xiang Ying, who was playing with the dog, over and asked, "What are you doing?"
