"Your excellency!"
As soon as this happened, dozens of cavalrymen noticed it. However, the streets were narrow, and only a few cavalrymen could move forward.
"Who is it?" The lieutenant was extremely courageous. As soon as he finished speaking, he became one with his sword. The wind from his sword seemed to carry with it the power of thunder and wind. It was so fast that it was dazzling.
"The person who will kill you." Pei Zi Yun took a step forward. Although there was some distance between him and the lieutenant, he was already in front of him, "Die!"
"Dang!" The moment the sword and the saber clashed, sparks flew everywhere. A strange force pounced on the captain, causing his entire arm to go numb. Then, with a flash of sword qi, a slit appeared on his right cheek. His gums could be seen, and fresh blood flowed out.
The lieutenant was shocked. He slapped the horse's head. Even though he was wearing armor, he leapt down from the horse. The next moment, the sword energy landed on the horse, and the horse was sliced into two. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Die!" The lieutenant didn't flee in panic. Instead, he had a ferocious look on his face as he slashed down with his sword. Wind and thunder could be seen emanating from his sword as it sliced through the air.
"Dang dang dang …." The sword and the sword collided, and the sword light changed. A terrifying sword energy was emitted, and pierced through the lieutenant's body.
"Not bad!" Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and spoke in a low voice, "Although it's a military technique, to be able to use it to such an extent, it's almost divine."
"It's just that such a technique is used on a married woman. It's even more lethal."
"However, you're from a different tribe. It's not surprising that you're so vicious." Pei Zi Yun advanced, his eyes were cold and filled with killing intent.
"Hm, I'm King Lu's lackey. I don't mind killing." The lieutenant took a few steps forward, and yet another wound appeared on his body. He pretended not to see it, and shouted out coldly. He retreated with his sword, but was ready to pounce on Pei Zi Yun at any moment. The impression he gave was that he was ready to pounce on Pei Zi Yun.
"I'm invincible!" Within seconds, several cavalrymen had pounced on him, and their swords were unsheathed.
"Is this the style of a soldier?" Pei Zi Yun frowned. He then pointed his finger, and a bolt of lightning shot out. The few cavalrymen were paralyzed.
"Wind Form Cloud Body!" Pei Zi Yun transformed into a ray of light and charged forward at a speed three times faster than before. His long sword slashed downwards, and the two of them merged into one.
"Ah …" Blood spurted out from the necks of several cavalrymen. Their heads were still in midair, crying out as they twisted and fell down. Then, a figure flashed, suddenly appearing and disappearing, already pouncing towards the captain.
Don't be fooled by the officer's bravery. After receiving two blows from the cavalry, he immediately retreated. Even Pei Zi Yun was secretly impressed by his mannerisms. Ferocious, daring, cunning, this was the decisiveness of a soldier.
However, the more it was like this, the more he had to kill him.
The bluestone slabs were very hard. The captain retreated to the mouth of the alley. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet caved in and turned into quicksand. He had barely pulled his foot out when the sword flashes arrived.
"Zhng zhng zhng …" The sounds of swords clashing against each other could be heard. Pei Zi Yun took a step back, not moving an inch.
Bang! The lieutenant swayed about ten feet away, his eyes wide open as he strenuously looked at his chest, only to see blood spurting out like a fountain.
"No, how could I die?" The lieutenant didn't die immediately. He roared at the same time along with the leopard phantom behind him.
"Save his Excellency!" In that split second, the cavalrymen were so shocked that their hair stood on end. King Lu's military rules were very strict. Since their Lord was about to die, all his personal guards would be executed. These cavalrymen shouted out loud as they galloped towards Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun didn't bother with them as he looked at the demonized lieutenant. His face revealed a playful smile, "Even if you're demonized, how long can you last?"
"Kill!" Several cavalrymen charged towards him without a care for their own safety.
"Zi, zi zi" Another bolt of lightning flashed past. If this was a Dao technique, he could use his willpower to defend against it. However, this was a naturally occurring bolt of lightning. No matter how strong one's willpower was, it was impossible to defend against it. "Pa pa!" Another group of cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground.
"No, how can there be someone like you in this world. You're a demon, a demon." The leader of the cavalrymen had a look of fear on his face. He couldn't take it any longer and wanted to escape.
Pei Zi Yun's sword flashed past, and the man's throat was pierced through as he fell from his horse.
In the blink of an eye, he had killed more than ten cavalrymen effortlessly.
"Satisfying." Pei Zi Yun laughed out, "Ten steps to kill a man, a thousand miles to travel. Once the deed is done, I will leave without a trace. "
Pei Zi Yun muttered to himself. Today was the first time he had experienced the true power of an Earth Immortal. The power of nature, sword Qi, sword techniques, spells, everything was at his command.
The largest tavern in Little Leaf Town was the Guan Jia Tavern. At this point, the windows were open, and the tables near the windows were filled with Daoists. However, the entire place was silent.
It was strange. Pei Zi Yun was one of their own, but when they saw him killing the most elite cavalrymen as though he was killing a dog, their hearts sank. When they heard the screams of pain coming from below, their faces turned pale.
Seeing the cavalrymen charging towards them in waves, regardless of who was in the right or wrong camp, they had to admit that they were all highly skilled in martial arts. Their teamwork was flawless, and they fought with their lives on the line. They were the role models of soldiers.
However, such sacrifices were meaningless. Like water meeting a boulder, it immediately exploded.
With a flash of lightning, no matter how strong the cavalrymen were, they were paralyzed on the spot and could only await their deaths. Hearing the screams, the Daoists from the Imperial Court, especially Zhang Ling, could not believe what they were seeing. Was this the power of an Earth Immortal?
A single person could suppress an entire army. It would take hundreds of people to surround and kill him. Everyone present was trembling.
"Your Excellency, is an Earth Immortal so strong?" Such a terrifying enemy, to the Daoists who were secretly supervising, how could they not be afraid?
"He's not completely unafraid of military formations. Look, he's making use of the terrain to prevent the cavalrymen from attacking. That's why he's so effective." Zhang Ling observed and said.
"Then why is he fighting with the cavalrymen instead of killing the general?"
"He's just become an Earth Immortal not long ago. Of course he has to test his strength in a relatively safe environment. This alley and the number of people here are perfect for testing his strength." Zhang Ling's face darkened as she voiced out her conjecture. At that moment, the entire tavern was silent. After a long time, someone pointed and exclaimed, "Look, this officer has a special technique too!"
While the cavalrymen were fighting, the wound on the officer's chest had already healed. He stood up and let out a roar that did not sound like a human's.
Everyone looked at him and felt a chill run down their spines. In a blink of an eye, it had reached the top of their heads. A trembling Daoist official's face turned pale, "That's impossible. Dao techniques can only stop the bleeding. At most, it can heal the skin."
"Even if it's an Earth Immortal's body, it can't heal so quickly. What's more, it's in a vital area."
"He's a monster."
The Daoist official, who didn't know that he had hit the nail on the head, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Everyone look!"
Everyone looked over and saw that although the officer's wound had healed, his hair had turned white. It was obvious that he had activated his body's potential to produce such a miracle.
"Not bad, it's a very strong technique. It's a pity that it's useless against me." Pei Zi Yun saw it as well and was slightly disappointed. He shook his head and took a step forward. In a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the officer and swung his sword.
A ray of sword energy lit up, carrying with it a faint red color, as it sliced across the sky.
The officer roared in anger. He was like an agile leopard. His speed increased by two to three times. His speed was so fast that it left behind afterimages.
"Pu!" A dull thud could be heard as another five or six cavalrymen charged forward. Both the man and the horse were sliced in half by the demon. They didn't die immediately, as they struggled and screamed in pain.
In front of him, the shadow disappeared, and the officer's real body fell to the ground. A deep sword mark had appeared on his body. Even the armor on his body was unable to block the attack. It was as if he had been sliced in half. Blood and internal organs flowed out.
The shadow of a leopard cried out as it tried to escape. All of a sudden, the Plum Blossom flashed, and the leopard disappeared.
"Hm!" Pei Zi Yun's body trembled as he grunted. However, he didn't sustain any further injuries, "Killing this officer was like taking a punch from me."
"Not only was this person's rank low, but I'm also the Imperial Envoy. Although the last time I killed Count Zhong Qin, I was able to defend myself against the attack, and was able to ignore the backlash."
Having lost the shadow of the leopard, the officer lay on the ground and felt around for his internal organs. All of a sudden, he regained consciousness and shouted, "My Lord, my Lord, I have been loyal to the enemy. I have died …."
As he spoke up to this point, his body started to twitch. His vision and thoughts started to blur. Everything in front of him started to swirl and float. Soon after, countless people appeared. They were all the people he had killed.
"Kill, kill, kill!" At the last moment of his life, the officer let out a muffled cry. His hand reached for his blade, but only managed to extend it a few inches before he froze.
"Your Excellency!" Seeing this, some of the soldiers were terrified and stopped in their tracks. Some of them screamed and charged towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun didn't hesitate any longer. With a swing of his sword, he killed several more soldiers. He then leapt onto his horse and galloped away. As the horse galloped out of the town, his vision turned black as an information interface appeared before his eyes.
"Side Mission: Kill ten visitors from another plane and absorb their information. Completion: 2/10."
Zhang Ling watched from above as her body stiffened. She couldn't move for a long time, and her jaw dropped.
A gust of wind blew in, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines. They were speechless. After a long time, a Dao official mumbled, "Strong, he's too strong. True Sovereign Pei's fighting prowess is unparalleled under the heavens."
To be able to fight against ten cavalrymen alone, his fighting prowess was beyond anyone's imagination.
Many commoners who had never gone through military training thought that one had to be able to kill an entire army in one fell swoop. However, this involved many other factors.
To put it simply, it was mobility, firepower, defense, and endurance.
If a person could kill a hundred soldiers in one go, and rest for a day before resuming the battle. Most importantly, it would be difficult for the enemy to harm him, and he would be able to fight an entire country alone.
Although these Dao officials didn't have a clear understanding of this, they were after all from the Department of Dao Records. This was their job, and they knew what was at stake. Their faces turned pale.
After a long time, one of the Dao officials looked at the panicking soldiers and asked, "What do we do now?"
Zhang Ling's position was high after all. Even though she had been through so much, she was still clear-headed. Without hesitation, she walked out and stood on the stairs, "What else can we do?"
"Have you all recorded everything that happened? Record it down and report it to the Department of Dao Records. Then, hand it over to the Imperial Court. We must let the Imperial Court know the details of what happened. "
Several Dao officials stood up and replied, "Understood. We've recorded everything."
"Then follow me and follow True Sovereign. When we have time, we'll report it to the Department of Dao Records." As Zhang Ling spoke, she walked down the stairs. The other Dao officials looked at each other and silently went down the stairs, heading into the distance.
