I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 49: Li Yanran Takes Action!

"Father, let’s go first!"

The two young men beside Lu Jiahe quickly moved forward to support him and headed towards the exit.

"Damn thing, how dare you ruin my plans!"

The brawny leader was infuriated, fully revealing the aura of a Martial Artist at the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm.

He lifted his right foot, aiming to kick the severely injured Li Mingzhong to the side.

However, Li Mingzhong seemed unfazed by death, ignoring the intense pain in his left arm and raising his right arm to block the brawny man’s attack.

"The rest of you, chase after them already! If that old fellow escapes, you’re all as good as dead!"

Seeing he couldn’t shake off Li Mingzhong, the brawny man shouted to those behind him.

As soon as he spoke, several men behind him ceased hiding, all exposing their Flesh Refining Realm aura, and pursued them towards the door.

Not far from Lu Family Pharmacy, two women arrived, each riding a fine steed.

One was dressed in a plain white dress, while the other wore a neat cyan brocade robe embroidered with a mysterious black bird.

The newcomers were none other than Ye Xuan and Li Yanran.

Ye Xuan looked at Li Yanran with some curiosity, not understanding why she had stopped here.

"Sister Yanran, what’s wrong?"

That day coincided with Li Yanran’s departure from the county, and Ye Xuan intended to follow her back to the prefecture.

Because the life of the White Lotus Blood Infant had already been confirmed dead by Li Yanran.

As for why Li Yanran stopped in front of the Lu Family Pharmacy, it was because she thought of Mr. Lu Xuan again.

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, it would be hard to imagine.

In such a small county, there existed someone with such martial talent, akin to a once-in-a-generation prodigy.

"It’s nothing, let’s go, Xiaoxuan!"

Li Yanran shook off numerous thoughts from her mind, knowing it was pointless to dwell on them.

After all, Mr. Lu Xuan could not stay in this small county forever; they would meet again someday.

Just then, a tumultuous commotion erupted at the entrance of the Lu Family Pharmacy as five or six men rushed out.

Leading them was Lu Jiahe along with his two sons, while behind them stood the pharmacy’s guards.

"Forget about me, Yunqing, Yun’an, quickly call for help and rescue Mingzhong!"

Intense pain surged from Lu Jiahe’s chest, and blackish blood continuously seeped from the wound.

"The sword is poisoned!"

Seeing the black blood from Lu Jiahe’s wound, Lu Yunqing and Lu Yun’an panicked instantly.

"Huh!"

"What’s happening?"

"It’s the old shopkeeper of the Lu Family!"

"Who dares to lay hands on the patriarch of the Lu Family?"

Passersby outside the Lu Family Pharmacy exclaimed in shock.

"The old shopkeeper of the Lu Family?"

Not far away, Li Yanran, who was about to leave, suddenly turned back.

She saw several brawny men from the Flesh Refining Realm chasing out from the pharmacy towards those at the door.

"Damn you, you bastards, stop right there!"

From the distant streets, several men clad in county government official attire rushed aggressively towards the pharmacy.

The leading government official, appearing somewhat plump, was Liang Cheng.

At that moment, Liang Cheng displayed an astonishing speed, with the aura of just recently breaking through to the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm surging from him.

Liang Cheng glaringly focused on the front, relentlessly pushing aside anyone in his path as he hurried to the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Meanwhile, several others in official attire emerged from a nearby alley.

They boldly stood in front of Liang Cheng, blocking his way, as if they had long planned to lay in ambush.

The leading officer was tall and sturdy, looking at Liang Cheng with a playful gaze.

"Huang Wen!"

"Get out of my way, or I’ll kill you!"

Liang Cheng, eyes red, drew his broadsword from his waist and struck towards Huang Wen blocking the path.

Meanwhile, one of the men swiftly caught up to Lu Jiahe, easily kicking away the guards at his side.

"Heh heh heh!"

"Damn it, old man, go die!"

The man, unable to hide his joy, clenched his right fist and swung it towards Lu Jiahe’s head.

At that moment, it seemed to him as if glory and riches beckoned him.

Boom!

An invisible shadow flashed by, followed by the sound of loud impacts.

The men chasing Lu Jiahe were suddenly hurled towards the surrounding buildings as if struck by a powerful force.

"He’s poisoned, give this to him, it’s Profound Yuan Root Liquid!"

The one who acted was Li Yanran. She said nothing more, only hurriedly making her point.

She quickly took out a small jade bottle from her bosom and handed it to Lu Yunqing and Lu Yun’an.

"Profound Yuan Root Liquid!"

After a cry of surprise, Lu Yunqing, quick-witted, directly accepted the small jade bottle, unhesitatingly giving it to his father, Lu Jiahe.

Since the other party had intervened to rescue them, it meant she harbored no ill intentions.

"That useless thing, you actually broke through."

Huang Wen looked at Liang Cheng in disbelief.

At this moment, he appeared somewhat flustered, focusing all his efforts on defending against Liang Cheng’s attacks.

Liang Cheng’s relentless fighting style left Huang Wen on edge, accumulating many wounds.

That useless Liang Cheng, how did he break through to the peak of the Flesh Refining Realm, equal to his Martial Arts Realm?

"Those useless fools, let’s go!"

Seeing more and more people gathering, Huang Wen decided to retreat, giving up any notion of blocking Liang Cheng, and directly leading his men to flee down the alley.

Liang Cheng, seeing his adversary flee, regained his composure, disregarding the wounds on his body as he hurried to the Lu Family Pharmacy.

Inside the pharmacy, a burly man was rushing out, the same man who had previously attempted to assassinate Lu Jiahe.

Li Mingzhong was already showing signs of poisoning. After being kicked away by the brawny man, the latter urgently rushed out.

"Damn you, you old bastard, you’re still alive!"

Seeing Lu Jiahe not far away, still alive, the brawny man steeled his resolve and fiercely threw his short sword towards Lu Jiahe.

Yet in mid-air, the short sword was caught by a small, fair hand and instantly snapped in two.

"Is there someone else?"

Li Yanran casually scattered the pieces of the broken short sword onto the ground.

Without giving the brawny man time to react, he suddenly blacked out, his body shot back into the pharmacy like a bullet.

By this time, Liang Cheng had arrived, and upon seeing his uncle Lu Jiahe unconscious, his face turned pale, and his heart roared with unrestrained fury.

County Government!

County Government Crime Archive Room!

At this moment, Lu Xuan was sitting inside, rapidly flipping through one book after another, his eyes swiftly scanning the entries above.

Upon learning of Lu Xuan’s intention, his uncle Liang Shanhai had unhesitatingly escorted him into the crime archive room.

Although it violated county government regulations, no one dared to utter a word.

At that moment, the archive room door was pushed open, and a figure swiftly walked in.

The newcomer, in a white brocade garment, was a middle-aged man with a square face—Lu Xuan’s uncle, Liang Shanhai, a senior clerk at the county government.

His face now heavy with concern, he looked at Lu Xuan ahead.

"Xiaoxuan, your father is in trouble!"

Lu Xuan immediately looked up at Liang Shanhai, his eyes narrowing and his hands freezing mid-page-turn.

In an instant, the archive room filled with an unbearably powerful aura, as endless gales howled, rustling the paper with a storm-like sound!
