"Cao Rui!" Huang Shaoyu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had personally seen his fourth uncle's old illness worsen after Cao Rui's move and he could only lie in bed ever since. In the end, he couldn't make it through the journey to support the Jing King Palace. His fourth uncle, whom he worshipped since young, had passed away. Huang Shaoyu was heartbroken.
It was only then that he realized that the one facing Cao Rui was Yan Li. His heart skipped a beat, and the same fear shrouded him. Yan Li remained motionless even when the wind, fire, and dark lightning arrived. This made him suspect that the scene from two years ago was about to repeat itself.
"Formless …"
Yan Li's head was slightly lowered. His entire body was trembling from the wind, fire, dark lightning, and was about to fall at any moment. Suddenly, the hand holding the sword moved stealthily and everyone heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed.
The sound of a sword being unsheathed wasn't anything special, but this sound, because it was only a little bit, perhaps only half an inch away from being unsheathed, was exceptionally sharp and ear-piercing. Listening to it, it was as if something was cutting through one's eardrums and then transmitted to the bottom of one's heart, as if it was hanging on one's lifeline, making one feel unbearably uncomfortable.
It was so painful that one couldn't even breathe.
After this voice, the sword mound, which was unknown how many zhangs wide, appeared around Yan Li, who was standing quietly. They were also like their masters, quietly stuck there, not making a sound, not making any movement, as if they were using cold eyes, sizing up the fist force that covered the sky and covered the earth.
However, the wind, fire, and dark lightning were even more turbulent, causing the sword mounds to flicker. It was clear that Cao Rui was superior in terms of the Law Domain.
"Little bastard Yan, die!" Cao Rui roared, his fist already inches away from Yan Li.
"Zhi Ge …"
However, the sword was still being unsheathed, but it was very slow. It was so slow that Cao Rui's fist was only halfway out. It was as if he had no choice but to use half of the sword to block.
The half-unsheathed sword was dark black. Every time Li Ya absorbed external force, it would turn this color, and the more it absorbed, the darker the color.
The external force was condensed in the sword, and he used this black sword to block the fist.
The fist smashed onto the sword, and the result was an earth-shattering explosion. Yan Li didn't vomit blood and fly back as he had expected. At this time, he slightly raised his head. His deep, black, and bright eyes were still as unfathomable as before. That face that seemed to have been sculpted by a top master craftsman still had a faint smile on it.
Not only was there no sound of explosion, even the original movement had disappeared at this moment.
Everything seemed to be absorbed by the black sword.
"You!" A look of bewilderment appeared on Cao Rui's face, and he let out a low roar of anger. He refused to retreat in the face of this. "I am the military governor of the Long Qing Protectorate Army. The glory of the Sacred Dynasty shall not be blasphemed. The glory of the Sacred Dynasty shall shine forever!"
A strong burst of energy caused the armor on his body to sway and make a "ping ping" sound. The originally flickering Dark Thunder Force on the fist suddenly condensed to the point of condensing into a liquid, emitting a horrifying destructive force.
The visible Dark Thunder Force fell on the Sword Catacomb and immediately bit off a piece. In a moment, it was riddled with holes.
"Invincible in Ten Directions!"
Clang!
At this moment, Li Ya was finally completely unsheathed. It also meant that this move was completely unleashed.
The dark black sword and the fist wrapped in dark lightning clashed fiercely. The sparks scattered in all directions, causing the walls of the tower to be riddled with holes.
However, the fist still couldn't block it. The protective True Qi first dissipated, and then the flesh on it, revealing the white bones.
Cao Rui couldn't help but scream. The black sword didn't stop and slashed on his body. "I have the Black Scale Armor!"
The Black Scale Armor was the best in the world because its designer was one of the rare Heavenly Master Craftsmen, an important minister of the Dragon Emperor Dynasty, and the dean of the Instrument Cultivation Division of Great Corner Academy, Master Ban Gu.
No one knew how much external force Li Ya had carried, but when it slashed on the Black Scale Armor, it really didn't split into two.
However, before Cao Rui could rejoice, he was smashed down by a tremendous force. He fell down like a meteorite, smashing all the wood on the way. Finally, he hit the ground heavily. With a loud bang, the tower of the observatory couldn't help but shake.
Cao Rui's subordinates all stopped in their respective places. Some of the newcomers were sent flying by the aftermath. When they ran back, they found that the Black Scale Armor on their Commander in Chief had been completely shattered. His body had also been shaken into minced meat by an unknown powerful force. Only his face was barely recognizable.
"Commander in Chief!"
Before they could finish their exclamations, they seemed to have sensed something. They looked up and saw a figure descending from the sky. They instinctively moved aside.
Yan Li descended from the sky and glanced at the ground. Li Ya drew a flower with his sword and slowly returned it to the sheath. He slowly turned to the guards who were staring at him blankly at the gate and said calmly, "Excuse me."
"Ah … Oh …" The guards' brains seemed to have stopped working, and they instinctively moved aside to make a passageway.
Yan Li walked out of the passageway.
Then, the other Yanshan Robber also walked out of the passageway.
At this time, they suddenly realized that they were here to capture Yan Shiyi. Why did they make way?
"Stand …"
One of them turned around and shouted, but his mouth was covered by the other. "Shh! Do you want to die? "
"We're letting them go just like that?" He forcefully pulled his hand away and glared at his colleague.
"Of course not. To avenge the Commander in Chief, we have to ask the Commander in Chief to come here. Tell the brothers behind that the thieves are very powerful. We have to send ten times more soldiers than them …"
He only understood when he heard this. "The rest of you, keep an eye on them. We can't wait any longer. Let's go! "
As he said this, the two of them ran out of the other exit. The rest of the guards followed them, but when they saw the thief who killed the Commander in Chief standing outside talking to the group of people, they retreated.
It was as if Huang Shaoyu had just broken free from the strings of the Soul Extracting Puppet. He said, "Yes, this is enough to prove that my choice was not wrong." It was just inconvenient for him to show his excitement, otherwise, his prestige would be easily destroyed. Now he understood his father's difficulties. In this position, he had to be humble most of the time.
Old Hei had no scruples. He looked at Yan Li with admiration. "Dragon Head, I, Old Hei, have long been at the Cave Insight Realm, but I couldn't beat Thief Cao. I didn't expect you to kill him as soon as you were enlightened, and without any effort. I, Old Hei, have decided to be loyal to you from now on. No matter what decision you make, I will support it unconditionally!"
"Dragon Head, aren't you going to kill them to silence them?" Lu Bai Chuan asked calmly. He was already used to this.
"Those demons won't let us go so easily." Yan Li gestured for everyone to follow. Then he said slowly, "There's no point in silencing them now. It's better to let them report and have more powerful people come. Maybe they can muddy the waters even more. Right now, our goal is to escape from Tianjing. Listen to my orders. "
"Yes."
"Old Hei." Yan Li pointed to the first loyal Old Hei.
"Your subordinate is here!" Old Hei didn't expect to be the first to be pointed out, so he answered excitedly.
Yan Li said, "Split up with us and set off immediately. Leave the city and find the three deputy commanders to convey my orders. When they hear it, they must immediately act according to it."
"Yes!" Old Hei agreed, then asked, "Then, what orders should we execute?"
"Attack the city." Yan Li said.
"Attack the city?" Old Hei was shocked.
Yan Li said, "With their strength, it won't be difficult for them to take down a city gate. If we want to escape, occupying a city gate is the key. We can't wait for the imperial court's army to gather and then slowly climb over the city walls."
Lao Hei immediately understood what Yan Li meant. He finally understood why Yan Li had left the three deputy commanders outside the city. He nodded in understanding. "Dragon Head, don't worry. I, Old Hei, will definitely convey your orders to the three deputy commanders."
When Yan Li heard the word "convey", he knew that Old Hei had carefully understood this order. He was very satisfied and nodded. "Then go quickly. Be careful on the way."
"Alright!" Lao Hei sprinted away.
"Bai Chuan," Yan Li said to Lu Bai Chuan, "Your movement technique is the best. You'll be responsible for the eyes and support as usual."
"No problem." Lu Bai Chuan nodded and immediately turned invisible.
At this time, the sounds of a large army gathering towards Lang Kun Palace could be heard. The sound of powerful cultivators piercing through the air could also be heard. After all, it was the center of the Dragon Emperor Dynasty. The death of the Crown Prince was a great humiliation. Many people would be implicated.
After confirming that Ji Wuji was dead, those Jianghu cultivators had already fled. How would they dare to stay? The entire Lang Kun Palace seemed to be empty.
Yan Li then said to Li Kuofu, "Auntie, go to the positions I've pointed out and open a path."
"Understood." Li Kuofu nodded. After receiving the instructions, he also left.
The rest of the people listened.
Yan Li said, "The rest of you, follow me and charge towards Martial Rock Gate. There are two important points. First, try to save as much energy as possible. Don't waste your energy unnecessarily. Second, try not to split up. If you accidentally fall behind, find a way to break out of the encirclement. Escape through the path Auntie has opened and meet up with Senior Brother Shen and the others in the Celestial World. If you can't break out, fire the signal in time. "
"Those who go to find Senior Brother Shen, be careful too." He added, "I've made an agreement with the Peak Lord that they will come to help after taking down Li Hongzhuang. However, they haven't come. There must be something we don't know about. Do you all understand? "
Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
At this time, they arrived at the wall of Lang Kun Palace. The gate was already occupied by a dense army, so they definitely couldn't pass.
"If there are no more questions, let's go."
Yan Li said and suddenly leaped over. He led the group and charged towards Martial Rock Gate.
The guards behind them naturally chased after them.
