The heavily-armed heavy infantrymen, who looked overbearing just a second ago, fell miserably to the ground in the next second. It was obvious that they had no energy left to fight.
In fact, this kind of heavy infantrymen was a powerful weapon against martial arts masters. Ordinary masters who were surrounded by the shield formation would be pierced into a hornet's nest. It was a pity that their opponent this time was not an ordinary martial arts master, but one of the best swordsmen in the world. In addition, the opponent was originally from the army, so he was quite familiar with the formations of the army, so he was defeated so quickly.
Now, most of the main soldiers in front of Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie had fallen, leaving only a few personal guards in front of them, trembling with fear. The reason for this predicament was that they had come to Yili Courtyard to investigate a case, so the guards were naturally in charge of the Yili Courtyard. Therefore, they did not bring many personal guards. Otherwise, although the Wei Mansion did not have as many top masters as the Ruyang Mansion, it was still worthy of a "cloud of masters".
Although Xue Yixin was a little crazy with his swordsmanship, he was not a fool. On the surface, it seemed that he had directly charged into the Yili Courtyard's prison, but in fact, he had done some investigation and found that this was the time when the guards around Yelu Yixin were at their weakest.
Seeing the opponent walking towards him step by step, Zhang Xiaojie was so scared that his legs trembled. Especially when he saw the beads of blood dripping from the opponent's sword, he almost fainted.
Xue Yixin sneered and stabbed his sword at Yelu Yixin. He knew that this was the territory of the Khitans, so it was not suitable for a long battle. Otherwise, when more and more soldiers came, he did not want to be surrounded.
The nearly ten guards around Yelu Yixin were famous figures in the martial arts world of Shanxi. Unfortunately, they had encountered Xue Yixin, and a man in a blood-red robe, famous for his murderous aura!
Before they even started fighting, they were suppressed by the murderous aura of the other party and found it difficult to breathe. They could not even use half of their martial arts. Then, they saw a flash of red sword light, and this was the last thing they saw in this world.
Seeing that he was about to subdue Yelu Yixin, the corners of Xue Yixin's mouth rose slightly, and his expression finally eased a little. But before his smile could fully appear, his expression suddenly changed. He turned his sword back and flicked it, knocking back a flying saber.
"Audacious thief, how dare you behave atrociously in the Yi Li Bi Courtyard!" The newcomer was tall and burly, emitting a hint of wild charm from head to toe. It was Xiao Eleventh Lang, who had taken over as the inspector of the front palace. He had originally come to announce the imperial edict, but he did not expect to see Xue Yi committing the crime.
Upon seeing Xiao Eleven Lang, Zhao Min nudged Song Qingshu, who was beside her, and teased, "This person looks more manly than a pretty boy like you."
Song Qingshu didn't take it to heart and replied indifferently, "I rely on my talent and inner qualities, not my face to make a living."
"Shameless!" Zhao Min scolded jokingly. Icy Snow, who was at the side, nodded in agreement and continued watching.
At this moment, Xue Yi also saw the appearance of the person who had come. He could not help but laugh coldly. "Xiao Eleventh Lang? Just in time to settle the debt of kidnapping Young Miss Shen before I leave! "
He had stayed in Shangjing City for a long time and had already found out who had kidnapped Shen Bijun. Although he now planned to kill Shen Bijun to avoid the humiliation of the imperial family, he hated the instigator of the incident even more.
Therefore, he had already made preparations in his heart to kill Yelu Yixin after finding out the whereabouts of the mandarin duck saber. As for the fact that killing an important official of Liao would cause the relationship between Song and Liao to deteriorate, he did not care at all. After all, Liao was no longer what it used to be, and the two countries were not even bordering each other. Liao could not retaliate even if it wanted to. The only thing that could affect it was the joint attack on the Jin Kingdom. However, the northern expedition was Han Xingzhou's matter. He was born in the Xue Family and had always been on the same side as the Jia Family, so he did not want to see Han Xingzhou succeed in this northern expedition.
However, with such a huge ruckus in Liao, he would inevitably face impeachment from Han Xingzhou's camp when he returned. If he could solve the case of the kidnapper of the Crown Princess, not only would he not be punished, but he would also be meritorious. Naturally, he would not have to worry about the aftermath.
Therefore, the gaze he used to look at Xiao Eleven Lang instantly became fiery, causing the other party to feel a chill.
Xiao Eleven Lang only thought that it was because the other party's murderous aura was too strong, so he did not think too much about it. He directly brandished his saber and pounced over. He was very confident in his saber techniques. In the whole of Liao, apart from Xiao Feng and his son, as well as the mysterious Great Secret Agent Su Yin, he did not take anyone else seriously. Moreover, even if he were to go up against these three people, he did not think that he would lose. If he was given another ten years to grow, he even thought that he could become the number one expert in Liao.
A sabersman should have a disdainful aura in his bones. Only then would he be able to reach the highest realm of saber techniques.
However, during this period of time, his indomitable momentum had been somewhat reduced, because he had encountered two mysterious people twice in a row. The first time was the mysterious person he had met on the street that night. The two of them had exchanged dozens of blows, and he felt that the other party had not used his full strength at all and was just toying with him. The second time was when he had tried to capture Zhao Weiyi in the palace previously. The other party had actually left calmly under his nose, which was really a big blow to him.
Thinking of these two things, Xiao Eleventh Lang's indomitable momentum suddenly paused, and there was a flaw in his perfect saber intent. If he had been up against an ordinary expert, it would not have been a problem. However, what kind of person was Xue Yi? He had instantly caught that fleeting flaw.
Everyone only felt that their vision had turned red, and it was as if a bright blood-colored flower had bloomed in the field. Only Song Qingshu realized that it was the sword aura released by Xue Yi's blood-stained sword. At that moment, the sword aura was so dazzling that there were only a few people present who could open their eyes.
Everyone only heard the clanging sound of the tip of the saber clashing. When the blood faded and everyone opened their eyes, they saw that Xiao Eleventh Lang was already half-kneeling on the ground. There were more than ten bloody holes all over his body, and his clothes were already in tatters. If it were not for the saber in his hand that was inserted into the ground to support most of his weight, he would probably have already fallen to the ground by now.
The guards present were in an uproar. One must know that Xiao Eleventh Lang was a famous expert in the capital city, and he could be considered invincible in the army. No one expected that he would actually be defeated in an instant, and so badly at that?
"Hmm, he actually survived my ultimate move?" Xue Yi let out a cry of surprise, but there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Only Song Qingshu understood that the current Xiao Eleventh Lang was not the Xiao Eleventh Lang in the original work who had comprehended becoming one with the saber. It was normal for him to be unable to defeat Xue Yi. However, he had not expected that he would be defeated so easily. After all, he had exchanged blows with Xiao Eleventh Lang before and knew Xiao Eleventh Lang's martial arts. No matter what, it would take at least a hundred or eighty moves to determine the victor.
"Why did he suddenly hesitate in that saber strike just now?" Song Qingshu was very puzzled. How could he know that the other party's confidence had suffered a setback because he had exchanged blows with him twice in a row? As a result, his combat prowess had dropped by at least 30%. It must be known that confidence was very important for an expert who used the saber.
However, he did not have the time to care about this now. Instead, he said to the two girls beside him, "You two keep watch over here. I'll take this opportunity to go in and save Su Quan."
"Alright." Icy Snow nodded. Zhao Min, who was at the side, seemed not to have heard anything and stared at a certain person in the field thoughtfully.
