The three secret guards weren't talkative people. Ever since they joined the imperial court, they had followed the same principle. Everything had to be done with their strength.
Since Li Danai was so stubborn, they could only kill him first and take back the scroll.
Actually, the three of them didn't know what was in the scroll. They had only received orders from the Jiangzhou Commander to come to Rivertown and kill a man named Wu Yue and take something from him.
This matter should have been handled by the Grand Council. However, the Grand Council had other missions in Rivertown, so the secret guards could only do it for them.
Although the three of them didn't know what the scroll was, they knew that it must have a big secret. After all, the secret guards wouldn't use it easily.
However, they didn't expect the middle-aged man named Wu Yue to have hidden his strength. Due to their carelessness, Wu Yue escaped from their encirclement. The three of them chased him all the way to Rivertown before killing him.
At this time, another problem arose. Before Wu Yue died, he angrily threw the scroll away and it was taken by Li Danai, the Soul Breaking Saber.
They had some information about Li Danai. In Rivertown, other than the bandits of the Black Wind Mountain Range and the people of the four big families, Li Danai had a good reputation in the underworld.
His Soul Breaking Saber Technique was said to have killed four early-stage Inborn Experts with one saber. Subsequently, people gave him the nickname Soul Breaking Saber.
Although Li Danai had a reputation, the three secret guards weren't weak either. To be able to join the Embroidered Uniform Guards and be chosen as secret guards, they must have their own strengths. They used words to test Li Danai just now because they didn't want to complicate things.
Since Li Danai didn't want to listen to them, the three of them had to put in more effort.
Whoosh!
The three of them rushed forward in a triangular formation. Halfway through, the secret guards on both sides separated and attacked Li Danai from both sides.
In a battle between Innate Masters, every move and style was extraordinarily powerful.
The energy of the four people's battle radiated in all directions. It was as if a storm had formed in the field, causing sand and stones to fly.
From time to time, the flying stones were like bullets with great penetrating power. The walls around the four of them were full of holes.
Shenlang and the other four watched the battle quietly from afar.
"Soul Breaking Saber Technique, Soul Breaking Saber Technique."
Li Danai roared angrily. He raised the mountain-splitting saber in his hand and viciously chopped down at the middle-stage Xiantian Dark Guard.
The secret guard's expression changed. Li Danai truly lived up to his reputation. That one slash of his had caused him to feel a great sense of danger.
Boom!
Sand flew everywhere.
That secret guard held his blade horizontally and firmly blocked this blade. However, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth as he suffered an internal injury.
The Shadow Guards on both sides did not let go of this opportunity.
He circulated his inner force and two streams of Saber Qi flew out, slashing towards Li Danai.
Li Danai exerted his strength with both hands, forcing the middle-stage Xian Tian Dark Guard to retreat. Then, he stamped his feet, and the mountain-splitting broadsword spun up like a windmill.
Boom!
Two streams of Saber Qi collided with Li Danai's saber.
Although Li Danai had received the two streams of Saber Qi, he had acted hastily and had not unleashed his full strength.
His feet rubbed against the ground as he retreated, leaving two marks on the ground.
Li Danai leaned on the ground with his broadsword. He raised one hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with an ominous glint as he looked at the three Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"Shadow Guards, you truly live up to your reputation."
The three Shadow Guards were expressionless as if they were looking at a dead man. They did not say anything as they continued to attack Li Danai.
After the previous exchange, the three of them had already used their full strength. Li Danai and the middle-stage Xiantian Realm expert had suffered serious injuries.
This time, the fight between the four of them was even more intense. Although the attacks of the Xiantian Realm experts were overbearing, their inner force was not like that of the Emptiness Realm experts, who could borrow the power of the heavens and the earth to circulate their inner force endlessly.
The inner force of the four of them had already dried up. They were completely relying on their willpower to see who could last until the end.
Puff!
Li Danai took advantage of a slight opening and killed one of the Shadow Guards.
However, he was also slashed by another Shadow Guard. As his blood flowed out, Li Danai felt the mountain-splitting broadsword in his hand become heavier and heavier. In the end, he was finally beheaded by one of the Shadow Guards.
The remaining two Shadow Guards heaved a sigh of relief. They walked in front of Li Danai and took the scroll from his arms.
However, before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, a black shadow suddenly flew out from behind a wall. That person's hands formed into claws and grabbed the necks of the two Shadow Guards before they could react.
With a cracking sound, the necks of the two Shadow Guards were twisted and broken.
The two Shadow Guards were already at the end of their rope. If the two of them were at their peak, even a late-stage Xiantian Realm expert would not be able to kill them so easily.
After that person twisted the necks of the two Shadow Guards, he took the scroll from the Shadow Guard's hands.
"This … this is really that place. So that place is really not a legend."
Then, that person could not help but laugh out loud.
"What is this? Brother, can you lend it to me to read? "
A mocking voice slowly rang out.
"Who is it? Get out here. "
That person shouted in shock.
Just as that person was feeling bewildered, Shenlang walked out with Gao Jianli and the others with a faint smile on his face.
"Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is the thing in your hands. I want it."
Shenlang said indifferently.
That person glanced at Shenlang and the others. Then, he looked at Gao Jianli who was beside Shenlang and said coldly, "With just you?"
Shenlang shook his head and said, "Wrong. It's not us. It's him."
Just as Shenlang's voice fell, Gao Jianli's figure flew out.
A cold light rose between heaven and earth, and a frost Qi fell.
That person was dressed in black. His face was covered by a black cloth, and only his eyes were exposed. When Gao Jianli attacked, that person in black had already noticed it.
Before the sword arrived, the frost had already fallen.
Frost Qi had already appeared on the person in black's shoulders.
The person in black's face could not be seen, but from his eyes, one could see the shock in his heart.
But after all, that person in black was a master.
Circulating his internal energy, the frost had already melted. Then, the person in black's hands turned into claws. This person's hands were shining with a metallic luster. It was obvious that he practiced claw martial arts.
Gao Jianli's eyes were indifferent. It was as if he did not see the person in black's claws. In his eyes, there was only the sword. No matter what was in front of him, he would break it with his sword.
"Clang"
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The person in black had actually blocked Gao Jianli's sword with his bare hands.
But that person in black did not have it easy either. Gao Jianli's Ice Water Sword was an Earth Level weapon. Although the person in black had practiced claw martial arts for many years and his hands were as hard as iron, he still could not block an Earth Level weapon.
The person's hands were trembling, and a trace of blood flowed down his fingers.
"Good sword."
The person in black sighed.
"Of course it's a good sword."
Gao Jianli looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly. He gently waved his Ice Water Sword, and in an instant, a layer of frost fell.
"Give me the scroll and I'll let you go."
The black-clothed man took a deep look at Gao Jianli and tossed the scroll to Gao Jianli. Then, he turned around and left without hesitation.
Gao Jianli walked back and handed the scroll to Shenlang.
"Hey, why didn't you kill that person?"
Shen Qing asked in confusion.
