A Blind Swordsman's Sword Coffin

Chapter 651 – Lies Will Bring You Death

Qian Qiusui was stunned.

The Baizhang Sect was no small sect, and Li Guanqi’s actions were nothing less than a direct slap to Wei Qian’s face.

Boom! A powerful aura erupted.

The man on the dais shot to his feet, squinting coldly at Qian Qiusui. “Qian Qiusui, you clearly didn’t come here in good faith!”

Qian Qiusui already regretted bringing along such a reckless youth.

The faces of several elders in the hall darkened.

“Hmph, what an ignorant little girl. The tiny Yunding Auction House dares act so boldly in the Baizhang Sect? Since she’s being this rude, just send someone to flatten the auction house.”

Qian Qiusui glared at Li Guanqi, then opened her mouth to explain. But Wei Qian’s eyes went cold, and a powerful aura erupted from him, aiming to force her to her knees. Her face turned pale, and her heart sank.

Wei Qian clasped his hands behind his back, then his anger dissolved into an amused expression. He sat down, crossed one leg over the other, and sneered.

“Qian Qiusui, it’s only a few Divine Transformation Pills. I didn’t expect you to actually come. Your auction must be quite the spectacle this time.”

Bearing the crushing weight of his aura, Qian Qiusui gritted her teeth. “Indeed, Sect Master Wei. That is why the Divine Transformation Pills refined by the Baizhang Sect are so important.”

Wei Qian glanced at Li Guanqi, who remained unmoved, and chuckled. “Hmph, young people these days are increasingly arrogant.”

Li Guanqi clasped his hands behind his back and nodded wistfully. Now he understood the situation. He looked at Qian Qiusui with some surprise. “All this fuss... just for something so trivial?”

She stared at him in disbelief. Trivial? Did he even know the value of a single Divine Transformation Pill?!

“This is no small matter! I ordered twenty Divine Transformation Pills from the Baizhang Sect. The payment has already been made, and the auction begins in seven days. If I don’t leave with the pills today, the Yunding Auction House’s reputation will be ruined.”

Wei Qian’s patience had reached its limit. He raised his hand, and a terrifying blade of sword qi shot toward Li Guanqi. “Arrogant brat! Since Fellow Daoist Qian won’t discipline you, I’ll do it myself!”

Li Guanqi stood calmly, digging at his ear before reaching out. His right hand snapped forward like an eagle’s talon and seized the incoming sword light.

His lips parted, and his voice remained calm even as the sword qi exploded. “You’re noisy!”

Boom! Crash!

The shockwave nearly tore the roof off the pavilion. The elders who had gathered for the spectacle were thrown from their seats.

Wei Qian’s eyes widened. Li Guanqi murmured with a faint sigh, “So your eyes were open after all...”

Beside him, Qian Qiusui’s red robes snapped in the explosion’s wake. She felt the force for herself. Had she taken it head-on, she would have been gravely injured. Meanwhile, he had caught it with one hand, without even a ripple of vital force.

She swallowed hard. Did he block that with physical strength alone?

Her beautiful eyes locked onto Li Guanqi, her chest rising and falling. She sent him a voice transmission. “Who are you really?”

Li Guanqi glanced at her, his lips curling into a playful smile. “Who am I? I am the man you cannot have.”

Despite the tense atmosphere, Qian Qiusui burst into laughter. “You’ve piqued my interest, sir.”

Li Guanqi shrugged. Around them, weapons scraped free of their sheaths. “Even if you’re interested, it’s useless. I told you, you have no chance.”

As his words fell, a terrifying aura in the early Illusory Refinement Realm erupted. With merely a fraction of his power, the elders surrounding them fell to their knees.

Clang! Clang!

Weapons clattered to the floor.

When Li Guanqi drove his aura to the peak of the mid Illusory Refinement Realm, Wei Qian could barely hold on. The stone tiles beneath his feet shattered, his legs sinking into the ground. His face twitched, his body trembled, and his complexion flushed a purplish-red.

His pupils quivered as he stared at Li Guanqi, who stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He had not expected Li Guanqi to be so powerful.

“Who the hell are you?!” Wei Qian said, forcing the words out.

Li Guanqi stepped forward, and the pressure intensified.

“Ah!”

Crash!

Wei Qian, with only early Illusory Refinement Realm cultivation, was driven to his knees, slamming into the floor.

Li Guanqi lifted his robe and casually sat on Wei Qian’s head. His lips curved into a wicked smile. “Me? I am Li Wuji. It means... without restraint.”

Qian Qiusui gazed at the arrogant youth, her eyes shining like the moon. Li Guanqi raised his hand, and a purple-black lightning sword pierced Wei Qian’s palm.

Pfft!

“Ahhh!”

Li Guanqi blasted his arm to pieces. His screams echoed through the hall. Below, the kneeling elders shuddered.

Li Guanqi curled his lip. Such poor endurance.

He leaned forward, staring into Wei Qian’s eyes. “Tell me. What are you scheming? Don’t try to fool me with excuses fit for children.”

Despite his smile, his words were cold. “If you lie... you die.”

Wei Qian’s heart trembled. He had never imagined that a youth barely past thirty could be so powerful. The calm voice in his ear carried no emotion, even when declaring that lies meant death.

Sweat poured from his forehead as he gulped, his small eyes darting around.

Qian Qiusui was no fool. She had already suspected something was wrong, but she never expected Li Guanqi to confirm it from just a few words.

Her eyes gleamed. How does such a perfect man even exist?Intelligent, powerful, ruthless.
