Li Guanyi and the Martial Artist exchanged a hundred blows!
The final punch was fiercely delivered.
The lion-like Inner Qi of the gauntlets shattered, and the young man’s fist slammed into that of the third layer Martial Artist. Then, the big man’s fist bones twisted and contorted, and his face turned pale and fearful. Li Guanyi stepped forward, diving in.
His fist, a spear, his body a martial weapon, the Absolute Skill of Chen Country’s ancestors was fully manifested at this moment.
[Mountain Shattering]!!!
A punch thundered, generating a violent surge of air. This single punch shattered the Aura Armor of the Martial Artist. Amidst a series of breaking sounds, Boss Cui was thrown like a ragdoll against a wall, where he lay in deathly silence, yet still alive.
He pulled open his clothes, saw a fist imprint on his Soft Armor, and yelled with a deathly pale face,
"Release arrows, release arrows!!!"
As Li Guanyi picked up his sword, both Crossbow Arrows and arrows were released, followed by an angry shout:
"Li Guanyi, take this!!!"
The sound of a steed was like the roar of a dragon.
The young Imperial Guards rushed over, and those guards were speared, hoisted, and thrown by the momentum of the horse. Ye Buyi, holding a Battle Halberd in his hand, suddenly tossed it, with other young men behind him.
Ten men were all there.
They charged over amidst the whinnying of the horses, Ye Buyi also leading a fierce horse.
Li Guanyi raised his hand and grabbed the Battle Halberd.
Blood-drenched, his right hand raised high.
His only concern had always been when they would arrive.
He never doubted that these youngsters, who had been at odds just a month ago, wouldn’t show up.
As Crossbow Arrows and arrows were fired, Li Guanyi’s Battle Halberd thrust forward with Wave-Rolling Jin Qi. He swept his Battle Halberd, stirring up the arrows and Crossbow Arrows with small whirlpools. At that moment, the Jin Qi of the Red Dragon fully merged into Li Guanyi’s body.
Thus, he mimicked [Vast Sea Strength] with Wave-Rolling.
The arrows were suspended midair, and as the young man swung his Battle Halberd, the red glow at the tip, like the long chant of the Red Dragon, attracted the flames from torches and lamps. The frenzied Yang Power absorbed them as Li Guanyi danced like the Red Dragon, ultimately sweeping all the arrows and Crossbow Arrows to the ground with his Battle Halberd.
Ye Buyi, in plain clothes and carrying a Battle Halberd, with a Token at his waist, stood solemnly:
"Imperial Guard, Ye Buyi!"
"Imperial Guard, Zhou Liuying!"
The blood-soaked young man held the Battle Halberd horizontally, and hence, behind him, the youngsters carrying Battle Halberds and weapons, holding reigns, coolly surveyed their surroundings before they all charged together. Their horses galloped back and forth, displaying battlefield skills, scattering a cohort of two hundred guards with ten members of the Imperial Guard.
They regrouped, eleven Martial Officials, the future eleven Generals.
The Marquis Bu Ye stayed silent for a long while, then exclaimed, "Siming’s speed is truly fast, and this child..."
"The young generation of Chen Country really has the makings of heroes."
"Before the Grand Sacrifice, this underground market is likely done for."
Li Guanyi gasped heavily as footsteps approached. Hundreds in the armor of Capital City’s Defense Forces approached, heading straight for Li Guanyi and his group, shouting, "Who?! Who dares ride horses and wield spears to cause harm? Arrest them!"
"Have them disarm and take back to the prison to await judgment!!!"
He aimed to settle this matter definitively, but the next moment, a whooshing sound rang out.
A spear pierced through a War General’s Armor, stabbing into his side and pinning him to a wall, chilling and commanding. Then, the clanking sound of armor, as Imperial Guard Imperial Army General Gong Zhenyong on horseback, declared:
"Capital City patrols, beacons, roads, suitability of water and grass. All Yifu’s Yiwei and guards from other houses, are under the command of the Imperial Guard."
"I really want to see..."
Ten young people and Li Guanyi saw the Imperial Army General riding a dark horse coming out, followed by ten Imperial Guards. The Imperial Army General’s gaze was icy as he sneered, "Who dares to touch my Imperial Guards’ children!"
Behind him, around a hundred Imperial Guards stepped forward synchronously.
Aside, Qiu Shiyong whispered to Li Guanyi, "I’ve gone to find uncle."
Gong Zhenyong said, "Dutiful!"
His gaze rested on the blood-soaked Li Guanyi, wanting to scold him, but seeing him covered in blood, he thought of his own younger days when he had left home to join the army, and remained silent. He said, "We’ve taken over this place, don’t worry, there is no reason to wipe out the black market now."
"I just woke up angry and needed a place to vent."
"But you started this, how many have you killed?"
Li Guanyi said, "Thirty-seven."
"How many incapacitated?"
Gong Zhenyong said, "Good."
He ordered, "Guards, seize him!"
The guards grappled the young man, their voices lowered, "We have to take you back, it’s a family matter now, otherwise, the City Defense would cause trouble, the General is protecting you."
Li Guanyi nodded, "Hmm."
The children ran out, and an old man too, the children shouted:
"Thank you for saving me!"
Li Guanyi’s arms were bound, his back straight as he turned around to look at the children.
The young man was chained, but he revealed a radiant smile.
Then, his shoulders twisted forward, and he saw Siming. The young man softly said, "Old man, thank you; you said, this problem can’t be solved?"
The young man’s eyes gleamed with clarity, he blinked.
Tied up himself, he still cheerfully said:
"Look, isn’t it resolved?"
"Imperial Guards, uproot them entirely! Before the Grand Sacrifice, they will plough through this place."
"I promise, they won’t have the chance to harm anyone else."
Siming was speechless.
Li Guanyi said, "I once met someone who really said, if everyone in the world could shine a little light, emit a little heat, things would get better. I didn’t understand before, but now, I truly do."
The elder looked at the black market, saw the people in hooded cloaks panic, being stopped, saw the black market locked by the Imperial Guards, this place wouldn’t exist anymore, at least not for the next two years.
The young man smiled, he said, "Try touching my chest."
"See if my heart is still warm?"
"It’s still warm, burning like fire."
In Siming’s eyes, the Red Dragon coiled around him, different from before, Li Guanyi’s heart changed, the Red Dragon also warmed, carrying the light that once, during the uprising led by the Red Emperor with the Three-foot Sword, swept across the realm and lit up the dark night.
Suddenly, Siming felt something.
He abruptly looked up, the Azure Dragon Seven Stars in the sky.
