Chapter 1423: Knockout
If Lu Xiaohang wanted a position in the Lu family, he would have been the head of the Lu family by now.
However, Lu Xiaohang was not interested in the Lu family’s heritage.
As for Lu Liangxun… At a glance, he was not a good person.
In the brief contact just now, Xia Xibei found out that Lu Liangxun’s strength was not good.
Rather, the strength of all of these people was not good.
In this world, although the ancient martial arts families still passed on their legacy, it had declined a lot.
Moreover, this was already a world of weapons.
A pistol could easily defeat a strong martial artist. Even if you could walk on a wall, you would be no match against a weapon.
To have enough breakthroughs in this area, one had to start practicing from a young age, and there was no telling how many trials and hardships one had to go through in between.
This was not the previous crisis-ridden world, and people did not need to use this method to protect themselves.
Besides, if having a gun was enough, who would take the time to do this?
Moreover, people were pampered and spoiled. Why would they spend so much effort to do these things?
Unless one’s natural talent was outstanding, and they were being closely watched by the family, they would not spend too much time practicing martial arts.
In this case, it was normal that their strength was ordinary.
In fact, if one cultivated to a certain degree, it was possible to be invulnerable to swords and spears.
If Xia Xibei cycled her qi at full strength, she could be invulnerable to swords and spears. Moreover, her speed could match that of bullets.
However, this was very difficult.
Without the accumulation of her second life, she wouldn’t be able to achieve this now.
Unfortunately, among the current ancient martial arts families, the heritage in this area was missing too much. Not many families had the medicinal broth that went with martial arts practice anymore.
Who wanted to do so much useless work, if it took so many years to study hard and they would not necessarily have much success in the end?
Therefore, the children of the new generation of these families were not too good in this regard.
Faced with ordinary people, they were certainly very powerful and could take one for five.
However, in front of the real masters, they were not good enough.
Xia Xibei had her suspicions long ago, but only now did she determine that they were indeed not very good.
“Who is Lu Liangxun?” Xia Xibei asked.
“He…” Qi Xin gave her a strange look. “He is not good to mess with. Moreover, he is quite ruthless. If he likes something, he has to have it.”
If he can’t have it, he’ll ruin it.
However, Qi Xin would not say this out loud.
Of course, even if she did not say this, Xia Xibei understood the situation here.
“Not bad, very good,” Xia Xibei said, revealing a strange smile.
This smile made Qi Xin freeze for a moment.
Not bad? Did she hear it right?
“It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Qi Xin sighed despite the sneer in her heart. “If I had known they would be here, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
Hearing her self-condemnation, Xia Xibei smiled, “It’s okay, you didn’t ask them to come here.”
This intentional remark made Qi Xin’s heart jump and she could only smile.
“By the way, there’s something I want to tell you.”
Xia Xibei walked over.
“What?”
Qi Xin looked at her suspiciously.
Xia Xibei smiled, then came up to her ear.
“It’s about…”
Qi Xin did not clearly hear the following words, she only felt a pain in the back of her neck, and then she fainted.
In the last moment, before she passed out, she was filled with disbelief.
What did Xia Xibei want to do?
