Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8

Chapter 260: Chapter 152: The Sandstorm Is Too Strong, It Got in My Eyes

Seeing Li Chang’an just stand there instead of running, the Reincarnators responsible for the ambush all breathed an involuntary sigh of relief.

They had received orders to ambush Li Chang’an, but they hadn’t expected him to arrive so quickly.

They had barely made their move when Li Chang’an happened to run right into them.

As a result, many of them weren’t ready to fight.

However, they wouldn’t get a chance to prepare. Li Chang’an charged forward, long saber in hand, holding nothing back this time.

The group sent by the Tian Family of Jiangzhou Prefecture was, at its strongest, merely Tier Three Extraordinary.

To Li Chang’an, who was already a Tier Five Extraordinary, they were like lambs to the slaughter. Many of them were decapitated by his blade before they could even cast a Technique.

For the slums, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

Li Chang’an lopped off the heads of six Reincarnators in a row.

After neatly stacking their bodies, he took out his communicator and called Su Ruobing. “Do you know of the Tian Family from Jiangzhou Prefecture?”

Su Ruobing sounded puzzled. “The Tian Family? I’ve heard of them. They seem to be a third-class family from Jiangzhou with some business ties in Kyoto. Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Li Chang’an didn’t hide anything. “The Tian Family of Jiangzhou Prefecture just sent seven Vassal Reincarnators after me. I killed six of them, clean. I left the last one half-dead. I suspect that bastard Gu Ruilong is behind this, but I don’t have any proof yet. Could you trouble Chairman Su to send someone to help me clean this up?”

Upon receiving Li Chang’an’s call, Su Ruobing was furious.

Because Gu Ruilong had made his move in Linjiang City.

To kill her most capable subordinate on her own turf—such an act was simply intolerable!

She immediately dispatched people to handle the cleanup.

At the same time, she made several calls in quick succession.

One call went to Cao Shuran, the vice chairman of the Linjiang Reincarnator Association, telling him to lead a city-wide search and that any Reincarnators of unknown origin could be killed on sight.

Another call went to Hu Xiuyuan, the Governor of Xiangnan. Hu Xiuyuan was the Governor of Xiangnan, and since Jiangzhou Prefecture was part of Xiangnan Province, no one was better suited to cause trouble for the Tian Family.

The last call went directly to Kyoto, to report the situation to the Kyoto Reincarnator Association.

Meanwhile, Su Ruobing also had someone investigate the relationship between the Tian Family, the Gu Family, and Gu Ruilong.

If the Tian Family had tried to kill an ordinary Reincarnator, it certainly wouldn’t have caused such a commotion.

But the Tian Family had targeted Li Chang’an, and not only was Li Chang’an a high-ranking citizen, he was also the uploader of the “Martial Arts Foundation True Understanding 2.0 Version”!

If a connection between the Tian Family and the Gu Family could be found, even the Gu Family could be implicated.

While Su Ruobing was busy making calls, Li Chang’an, on the other hand, had nothing left to do. Getting revenge on Gu Ruilong would definitely be on the agenda, but right now, the most important thing was to make arrangements for Li Jianfei’s family.

Watching the people from the Reincarnator Association drag away all the bodies, Li Chang’an sheathed his long saber and said, “Jianfei, I can’t call you ’Little Fatty’ anymore!”

Li Jianfei had come back to his senses by now.

After looking Li Chang’an up and down a few times, he burst out laughing. “Brother Chang’an, it’s great that you still remembered to come find me. I thought you would’ve forgotten all about me by now!”

As he spoke, Li Jianfei’s eyes grew a little red.

Li Siying rushed to Li Chang’an’s side. She had wanted to throw her arms around him, but as she got closer, she couldn’t help but stop, looking a little nervous and awkward.

She had just witnessed Li Chang’an’s terrifying combat prowess with her own eyes.

The Reincarnators, who were usually so high and mighty, were like lambs to the slaughter before Li Chang’an, dealt with in less than a minute.

This version of Li Chang’an felt a little unfamiliar to her.

Li Chang’an patted her head and smiled. “Siying, you’ve gotten taller. You don’t even call me Brother Chang’an anymore!”

Seeing that his tone was about the same as it used to be, Li Siying breathed a sigh of relief. She gave Li Chang’an a quick hug, then said worriedly, “Brother Chang’an, those were all Reincarnators just now. Won’t you get in trouble for killing all of them?”

She had learned a lot at the Rebirth School.

Even in fights between Reincarnators, for six to die at once like today was a huge, heaven-shaking event.

She was terrified that Li Chang’an would get into trouble because of this.

Li Chang’an laughed. “If I dared to make a move, then of course I’m not afraid of them. Trash like that doesn’t deserve to be called Reincarnators. If they’re dead, they’re dead!”

Seeing he wasn’t joking, Li Siying finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Li Jianfei turned to look at the trashed barbecue stand and said with a wry smile, “Looks like I can’t run this place anymore. Let’s find somewhere else. I’ll treat you to a late-night snack!”

People died at the barbecue stand.

And they were Reincarnators, no less.

Six of them, at that.

Even if his barbecue was seasoned with addictive spices, probably no customers would dare to show up anymore.

His heart ached a little. After all, this was a shop he had poured so much blood, sweat, and tears into building up, only for it to be ruined in an instant. He didn’t know if he’d be able to find a new way to make a living.

Li Chang’an saw the pain on his face and teased with a smile, “If you can’t bear to treat me this time, I can pay!”

Li Jianfei rolled his eyes. “I’m not upset about the money for the meal. I just think those bastards died too easily. I really wanted to castrate them alive!”

They closed the shop door, and the three of them walked and talked, laughing along the way.

In this atmosphere,

Li Chang’an felt a long-lost sense of peace.
