"Who are you? Get out of the way, or don't blame us for being impolite." The soldiers looked at the sudden arrival of the mourners, and their eyes flashed with vigilance. They raised their spears and were already on guard.
"Sir, have some pity on us! My parents passed away yesterday. Let us pass! " A man hugged the leg of a soldier's trousers with snot running down his nose. He looked very miserable, and the mournful music that was playing at this moment made people feel even more depressed and sad.
"No, we're escorting a wanted criminal of the court today. Either you take a detour, or don't blame us for being ruthless." The soldier kicked away the man who was grabbing his ankle.
"Where's the justice?! Where's the justice?! We're just here to send you off, father! Mother! Don't blame me for being unfilial. " The man lay on the ground and wailed. The people around him were moved, and some even tried to persuade him.
"No, if you continue to pester us, I'll send you down to accompany your parents." The soldier didn't fall for that. He raised his spear and was about to stab the man. The man scrambled away. Seeing that the filial son had run away, the mourners followed behind him. The coffin was still in the middle of the street.
"A few of you, move the coffin." A few soldiers walked over to the coffin, picked up the wooden sticks on the ground, and prepared to lift the coffin. However, there was a loud bang as the coffin's lid exploded. A blade flashed, and a few heads were sent flying.
A few people came out of the coffin. They were dressed in black and wore masks. Just as the coffin exploded, a group of masked people came out.
A large group of masked men also emerged from the crowd on both sides. All of them were dressed in black and held sharp weapons.
The commoners who were watching the commotion immediately panicked and fled in all directions. Meanwhile, Shadow Killer's men rushed toward the carriage, taking advantage of the chaos to save the imperial uncle. However, the soldiers had already expected this, and they surrounded the carriage tightly.
Nie Li led a portion of them to attack from the front. "Keep an eye on the prisoner. Raise your shields and cover your spears. Those in the back, shoot with your crossbows." Just as he finished speaking, the soldiers in front took out square shields and formed a wall. Dozens of spears extended from the gaps between the shields.
"Shoot!" Suddenly, the shield wall split open and a row of arrows shot towards Nie Li and the others. Soon after, the shield wall closed again. "Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!" Nie Li looked at the incoming rain of arrows and pulled out the saber at his waist. Heaven and Earth Saber Slash shattered all the arrows in front of him. However, some people were not so lucky and were turned into hedgehogs by the crossbow bolts.
"Great Bloody Hand." Nie Li gathered his internal energy in his palm and sucked in the corpse. All the blood energy gathered in his palm and he slammed the Great Bloody Hand onto the shield wall. When the Great Bloody Hand slammed onto the shield wall, Nie Li felt his palm go numb. The Great Bloody Hand didn't seem to have much effect on this kind of thing. After his attack missed, a long spear pierced through the shield wall towards Nie Li.
Nie Li twisted his body, grabbed onto a spear, pulled it, aimed at a gap, and stabbed it. Puchi, the sound of a sharp weapon stabbing into a body resounded. Nie Li let go of his hand, and the spear stood upright in the air. It seems that he had stabbed it.
Nie Li tapped the tip of his foot on the spearhead and leaped into the air, immediately increasing the distance between them. The rest of the Assassins had already surrounded the carriage and were constantly attacking the soldiers inside. "Heaven and Earth Saber Slash." Nie Li gathered his saber aura. On the long saber, the saber aura faintly expanded to several meters. Nie Li slashed down, and the saber aura tore the ground apart and landed on the shield wall.
"Crack!" The long saber in Nie Li's hand shattered, but the saber aura did not dissipate. The sharp saber aura directly split the shield wall in two. Even the soldiers behind the shield were split in two. Their organs and blood splattered all over the ground.
"Bliss Extinction Great Bloody Hand." Nie Li saw that the enemy's defense line had been broken. His body flashed, and like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he used the Great Bloody Hand. His left and right hands absorbed the blood energy on the ground and continuously slapped the soldiers around him. The blood energy corroded them, turning them into dried corpses. The blood energy then left their bodies and was fed back to Nie Li.
The soldiers were like stray dogs, retreating step by step in defeat, utterly defeated. In a short moment, the ground was filled with corpses. However, most of them were soldiers. The Assassins' losses were relatively small, but Nie Li was somewhat puzzled. Since they were escorting such an important prisoner, why did the imperial court only send such a weak opponent?
"Hurry up and save him. Take him away!" Nie Li shouted. This was not a place to stay for long. An uneasy sense of crisis made him feel uneasy. "Isn't it a little too late to leave now?" Suddenly, both sides of the long street were filled with people. They were dressed in official robes and wore masks. Two of them had an excessively strong aura. Just by standing there, they had the aura of looking down on the world. One of them was wearing a white tiger mask. The other was wearing a strange mask with a snake's head and a turtle's face.
"White Tiger, Black Tortoise. I didn't expect that they would send you for Du Ze. " Yan Kuo looked at the people on both sides and his heart skipped a beat. Seeing these two people, he knew that they would not be able to leave today. Nie Li looked at the two people. He had met White Tiger in Tianshu Pavilion, but this was the first time he had seen Black Tortoise. But now, it seemed that Black Tortoise was not inferior to White Tiger.
Nie Li had only sensed the aura of these two people from Tao Duan. But compared to Tao Duan, they were much stronger. If he had to find another person, it would be Xing Yun. However, his aura was not as condensed as Xing Yun's. But even so, Nie Li knew that these people were no match for them.
White Tiger and Black Tortoise waved their hands, and their subordinates charged towards Shadowthorn. If the situation had been reversed, Shadowthorn would have been massacred by the Patrol Envoy. Only a few people and four squad leaders would have been able to contend against the Patrol Envoy.
But even so, they did not have the slightest chance of winning. Because there were still two people who had not made a move yet. White Tiger and Black Tortoise were only standing there, watching the show.
"Ghost Emissaries, take him away!" Yan Kuo shouted at Nie Li. Because Nie Li's battle wasn't that difficult, the Patrol Envoy was secretly going easy on him and did not target Nie Li. Yan Kuo shouted.
"Got it." Nie Li glanced at Du Ze in the carriage. He activated his Qing Gong and slammed his palm on the cage. "Hmph." With a cold snort, Nie Li felt that his aura had been locked onto. When he raised his head, White Tiger was already in front of him.
"You want to save him? Have you asked us?" White Tiger's palm slammed towards Nie Li. Nie Li felt pain in his right arm, as if his palm had been pierced by a sword. Accompanied by White Tiger's tyrannical and powerful internal energy, Nie Li's body flew out. However, the aftermath of the internal energy collision broke the cage open.
Nie Li hurriedly circulated his internal energy. Fortunately, his meridians were tough enough. Otherwise, that palm from White Tiger would have temporarily crippled his right arm. However, Nie Li looked at White Tiger in confusion. He did not believe that Old Gou did not tell them about this matter. But why would White Tiger still target him?
Although he did not understand, seeing White Tiger attack again, Nie Li did not intend to sit still and wait for death. "Great Blood Hand." Nie Li absorbed the surrounding blood aura and formed a huge blood hand in the air. He slammed it towards White Tiger.
"Roar!" White Tiger roared, its voice was like thunder. A golden light wave spread out from its mouth and trapped Nie Li's Great Blood Hand. "Weng weng weng" The sound wave and the blood hand dissipated together.
"Heaven and Earth Slash." Nie Li grabbed a steel saber from the ground. The unparalleled saber Qi carried an aura that could cut through everything. However, White Tiger did not move at all and allowed Nie Li's saber to slash down.
"Clang" White Tiger's body was suffused with golden aura energy. Moreover, the aura energy was circulating with a strange light. When the steel saber landed on the aura energy, it directly turned into iron shavings. The saber Qi did not cause any substantial damage to the aura energy. Because of the backlash from the aura energy, Nie Li's palm split open and his body flew out and fell to the ground.
Nie Li's hands trembled as he gritted his teeth. If this happened a few more times, his hands would probably be crippled. "Pointing at the World." Nie Li endured the pain in his arm and pointed his finger at White Tiger.
However, when the sharp finger force came into contact with the aura energy, it was still blocked. Nie Li looked at White Tiger. This feeling of being crushed was really powerless. However, he had no choice. It would only make him thirst for power even more.
"What, don't you have any moves?" White Tiger looked at Nie Li motionlessly. In fact, he already had an idea of Nie Li's strength. At this realm, Nie Li could actually withstand his aura energy. He could already be considered an outstanding figure among his peers.
"Then let's try this move." Nie Li picked up another steel saber. He closed his eyes and brushed his finger over the saber. His eyes suddenly opened and a dense aura of death spread out. White Tiger's eyes flashed with surprise. He felt that his aura had been locked onto. He couldn't dodge this saber.
Nie Li's saber move made him feel very surprised. It wasn't that he had never seen such a move before. It was just that he had never seen it from a late-stage Xiantian brat. This saber move involved too many things. If Nie Li reached his realm, White Tiger dared to say that this saber move would be enough to take his life.
"Saber Cutting Path to Life." Nie Li's figure flashed and appeared behind White Tiger. The saber had yet to fall. "Not bad, not bad. However, let's stop here." White Tiger's tone was full of praise. Nie Li's saber move was already very powerful.
"Kacha" The saber split from the middle. The cut was very smooth, as if it had been cut open by force. White Tiger's aura energy was also torn. The most eye-catching part was that a corner of his sleeve had been cut off by Nie Li's saber.
"Charging Fist." White Tiger slightly bent his body and swooped down. He arrived in front of Nie Li in an instant and threw a simple punch towards Nie Li's lower abdomen.
Nie Li knew that he wouldn't be able to dodge it, but the Earth Qi on the fist was too powerful. In order to save his life, Nie Li executed the Buddha Three Kowtows. Furthermore, he also executed the Golden Lotus Giving Birth to Buddha. The resplendent golden lotus firmly protected Nie Li.
"Bang" "Kacha" The fist wind fell on the golden lotus, producing a dull sound. However, the following shattering sound broke Nie Li's last bit of stability. The fist didn't stop. It passed through the golden lotus and landed on Nie Li's lower abdomen.
Nie Li felt as if his internal organs had been smashed by a heavy hammer. His lower abdomen throbbed with pain and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The power of the fist wind penetrated his body and came out from Nie Li's back. It also penetrated the golden lotus behind him.
"Urgh" Nie Li clutched his lower abdomen and crawled on the ground, vomiting blood. Otherwise, this punch would have been enough to knock him out.
"Die!" White Tiger didn't have any intention of stopping. He threw another punch. It seemed that he was prepared to take Nie Li's life in one move.
Nie Li looked at the violent aura energy in front of him. Death had always been by his side.
