The Blade-Wielding Legend

Chapter 587: A Sudden Turn of Events


What happened?!

Li Yan suddenly looked up, leaping onto the rooftop to investigate.

This kind of thing, it's the first time it has happened.

Ever since obtaining the Hook Paper and learning to summon Yin Bureau troops, it had been unbeatable, capable of suppressing any evil and making even the strongest martial arts experts flee at the mere sight.

But what's happening this time?

As darkness was about to dissipate, Li Yan quickly used his left thumb to pinch the second knuckle, activating his divine skills.

In an instant, there was a cacophony of noise within the darkness.

"The Heavenly Court intervenes..."

"Earth Official Golden Palace Decree..."

"Retreat..."

His divine skills allowed him to hear the language of ghosts and gods, but these ghost pawns from the Netherworld didn't speak. They communicated using a sound similar to that of upper language.

So after hearing it, it became strange.

Soon, the gang wind subsided, and the darkness dissipated.

These sounds also quickly vanished...

Earth Official Golden Palace Decree?

Li Yan thought of the arrow embedded outside the door.

What kind of magic artifact is this?

Of course, at this moment, he couldn't think much about it.

The Yin Bureau troops hadn't fully succeeded, only managing to drive away the Black Sect lamas, suppressing and killing those few Commanders of the Guard. The most crucial Heavy Armor Black Feather Guards suffered no more than a dozen casualties.

Fortunately, without these commanders, the remaining garrison soldiers were in chaos, frightened by the previous scene and continuously retreating.

As for those Black Feather Guards, despite their uncertainty, they began to regroup, showing their elite nature.

Missing the opportunity might make it challenging to escape later.

"Break through!"

Unxiang Gongzi shouted angrily, taking the lead in rushing out of the Prince Mansion.

He moved swiftly, stepping rapidly, his figure shifting like a ghost, quickly reaching the opposite side of the street.

On the street, there were still dead Black Feather Guards.

They knelt on the ground with heads lowered, their heavy armor covered in frost, their faces pale, having lost all signs of life.

As Unxiang Gongzi flew past, he casually snatched a Divine Fire Gun, suddenly pulling the trigger towards the distance.

The fleeing Black Feather Guards were just turning around when they saw him shoot, startling them and making them instinctively sidestep and fall.

Click!

The hammer fell, but the gunpowder chamber failed to ignite.

This kind of firearm construction had its weaknesses; the cold brought by the Yin Bureau troops covered the gun in frost, causing issues.

"Unreliable!"

Unxiang Gongzi snorted coldly, continued moving without pause, and flung the heavy firearm, directly breaking a soldier's neck.

Taking advantage of the moment, he crossed over a dozen meters in just a few steps, leaping into the crowd, his hands flipping up and down, swiftly throwing darts.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Blood splattered, and people occasionally fell.

Though this batch of Black Feather Guards wore heavy armor and helmets, their necks had a finger-width gap for mobility.

Ordinary people struggled to exploit it, but experts like Unxiang Gongzi could hit a copper coin from dozens of meters away by dim light.

Seizing an opening was naturally easy for him.

And he wasn't the only one in action.

As Unxiang Gongzi emerged, others followed closely, full of murderous intent as they charged towards the street entrance.

The Three Religions and Nine Sects, the underworld experts.

These were not good people.

Someone raised a hand to release a sleeve arrow, tipped with Red Chain Snake Poison...

A Cao Gang expert swung a Po Blade, aiming at people's legs...

Once they lost distance, heavy armor meant nothing to them.

Li Yan was naturally among them, but he was a step behind.

The reason being that the Nuo God priestess Granny Jin, although having high Dao skills, was average in martial arts, and in mourning for her apprentice, she fell to the back.

In the pugilistic world, ethics come first, but at such times, everyone only thought about saving their own lives, with no one looking back.

Li Yan frowned slightly, but without talking, he stepped forward to support her arm, "Senior, follow me."

Saying so, he exerted force with his legs, leaping out.

As soon as he exited the Prince Mansion's gate, a thought struck, and he leapt into the air, tearing down the yellow silk pinned onto the plaque.

Without examining it closely, Li Yan stuffed it into his chest, then pulled out a piece of brocade filled with runes; it was the Armored Horse.

Meanwhile, Unxiang Gongzi and others had already broken through the Black Feather Guards' encirclement, running deeper into the street.

The garrison soldiers who had fled in fright were regrouping under the Hundred Households' scolding, firing their guns.

In this world, there are plenty of clever people.

Several Commanders were killed, but many sought to replace them.

"Senior, don't move later."

Li Yan instructed bluntly, quickly tying the Armored Horse to his leg, then stepping and chanting with a mantra, "Nuogao! Six Jia Nine Chapters, Heavenly Circle and Earthly Square, Four Seasons and Five Elements, Sun and Moon Light..."

Granny Jin, being experienced, naturally knew what he was doing, hurriedly gathering her energy to avoid disturbing Li Yan.

Whoosh~

The spell incanted, causing a violent wind to howl around them.

Li Yan held onto Granny Jin, exerting force with his feet as the surrounding snow exploded. With a swoosh, they soared into the air, directly jumping across the street.

Though appearing swift, they were actually half the speed slower.

After all, using the Armored Horse to carry someone consumed significantly more energy than usual.

Even so, they were much faster than the others.

The wind whistled in their ears, and others only saw a swirl of wind and snow while the two figures were already at the forefront.

Seeing this, Unxiang Gongzi's eyes flashed coldly.

Today's events caused him significant losses.

The original plan was to use this incident to connect with the court, whether the Imperial Censor Wang or the Great Prince, to further position himself for a future opportunity.

What did being a Chengdu underworld leader amount to?

No matter how big his pugilistic world reputation, it meant a lifetime of hiding.

He never forgot his upbringing in an official family.

If he seized the demon's treasure, combined with his lifelong skills, attaining a noble title and court position wouldn't be an empty dream.
