Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 435 Royal City Battle
"I originally wanted to marry the heir of the Xiao family and take advantage of his family's power, but when I woke up, I heard that his whole family had been killed by you."

Later, Thirteen Sister persuaded Yu to marry her father and ask him for his troops. However, halfway there, she heard that the army in Yingzhou had been wiped out.

We had no choice but to flee to the capital region and file a complaint at Sanyuan, but on the way we heard that the imperial court had already fled!
We had no choice but to head south from Suiyang to Zhenzhou for refuge, but who knew that the old man Dongwang had withheld the remaining orders!

The old man was hesitating whether to choose one of his sons to marry Yu, or to take her as a concubine. Before he could decide, the rebel army attacked and captured the city.

Then Yu fell into the hands of that bastard Shi Xuan. That bastard was very conflicted. One moment he said he would enjoy him, and the next he was plotting to offer Yu up to that beast so that he could become the crown prince.

Tonight, they attacked and wiped out my entire family. I managed to escape in the chaos, and just as I changed my clothes, I heard a commotion outside, and then the house collapsed.

Shi Yu rattled off a whole bunch of things like a machine gun, only to receive one reply from Tie Dan.
"You're a jinx!"

Shi Yu almost jumped up.
"How can you talk like that! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and save Yu and escape!"

Tie Dan lifted her skirt to look at her pair of slender, snow-white feet.

"You're not sick or injured, can't you just run away?"

Shi Yu gave him a look that said, "Are you even speaking human language?"

Tie Dan ignored her.

"The stone archway you just mentioned, is it the rebel King of Hejian? Is he in the palace too? Is he dead? If not, take me to rescue him."

Shi Yu gave him a look that said, "Are you even human anymore?"

Just as Tie Dan was about to speak, he suddenly seemed to hear a sound. His brows furrowed, and he scooped Shi Yu up in his arms and dashed out of the ruins.

"Whoosh—boom boom boom!"

With a piercing whistle, high-explosive shells rained down on the palace! They blasted the surrounding buildings and halls into dust! Wood chips flew everywhere, bricks and stones shattered! The shells crackled and popped against the backs of swords!
Good heavens! The garrison of Suiyang even has artillery? Where the hell did they get those cannons?!

"Ouch!"

It wasn't just a barrage of bombardments. Tie Dan turned his head and saw a massive, blood-soaked, crazed mob leaping over the palace walls and down the gates like baboons. They crashed to the ground with a series of cracking sounds, ignoring their broken arms and legs, howling and writhing as they charged into the palace! It was practically a bunch of zombies…

How did they manage to break in on their own...? Uh, is it because he killed the gatekeeper eunuch and now there's no one to keep order...?

"Huh! What's going on! Have these people gone mad?!"

Shi Yu, who was being hugged around the waist and legs, initially wanted to curse the rudeness, but upon seeing the situation, she forgot all about it and jumped up like a live fish, tightly hugging Tie Dan's neck.

Tie Dan also frowned.

"Where is everyone else in the palace? There isn't even a guard?"

"Is this the first time you've heard of the Shi family's reputation? There's no one else around; their delicate maids have already been devoured by him!"
The guards would naturally be protecting him at a time like this! "Run! They're charging!"

Shi Yu was in a hurry and jumped onto Tie Dan's back like a wild monkey.

"Ugh, what a hassle, I'll hold on tighter!"

Tie Dan took the Ice Soul Immortal Silk, covered Shi Yu's head with it, untied his belt, tied the girl to his back, picked up his broadsword, and rushed into the city!

"Where is the Stone Arch Palace?"

"Huh? Are you crazy?! You really want to save him?"

"Hurry! The barrier is about to give way!"

"The West Palace! The North Palace is given to the Great Beast, and the East Palace to the Second Beast, and he still dares not overstep his bounds!"

Without saying a word, Tie Dan turned and rushed towards the West Palace!
"Wow!"

The eunuch has reappeared!
With this burden on his back, it was naturally not advisable to take any risks. Besides, knowing that these old fogies were all incredibly tough, he couldn't afford to be careless in the slightest. At that moment, Tie Dan didn't care about revealing his trap! In a narrow encounter, the brave would prevail!

"I! Slay!"

Tie Dan roared, his voice like thunder! He swung his nine-ringed guillotine down on Tie Dan's head! The guillotine danced in a circle, its light shining like a wheel! His weapon energy condensed, unleashing the Xuanming Xuanji Qi Blade! He slashed down with one strike!

"ha--!!"

That old eunuch was also incredibly skilled! His entire body was surging with immense power, and wisps of white smoke, like dragon whiskers, rose from his mouth and nose! When he struck with both palms simultaneously, his power was astonishing! The force of his palm strikes seemed to create sparks in the air, blasting away and dispersing the Xuanji Ice Qi! He immediately countered with a bare-handed attack, about to have his blade snapped in two by the iron egg knife!
"die--!"

But who would have thought! Hidden within the surging Xuanji Blade Qi was also a formless, invisible, and elusive sword Qi emanation from Tie Dan!
"Wow——!"

Caught completely off guard! The old eunuch was cleaved in two by a single sword strike! A broadsword cleaved his head, a hidden sword aimed to kill him! He was cleaved in two mid-air! Blood gushed out from his body, amplified by his inner power! Like a blood pack bursting in mid-air, the blood gushing out bloomed like a flower! It drenched the two men from head to toe!

"Cough cough cough ptooey ptooey ptooey... Where did this person come from? Ptooey ptooey ptooey..."

Shi Yu wiped the blood splattered all over his mouth and rubbed it on Tie Dan's body.

Tie Dan frowned.

"You've never seen the eunuchs in the Prince's mansion?"

"Eunuch? A eunuch?"

Shi Yu looked at the bloodied corpse split in two on the ground with disgust, shook her head, and
"The Immortal Palace places the utmost importance on appearance and demeanor. The people employed in the Royal Palace are all selected from various places. They are fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys with handsome features who have not yet changed their voices."

Each of them was dressed in splendid robes, adorned with jade belts, silk sashes, sable tails in their crowns, and cicada-patterned gold earrings. They had bathed and perfumed themselves, making it impossible to distinguish male from female. The rebel army had killed them as soon as they entered the city, eating them until not even bones remained; there was no way any survivors could have been left.

Tie Dan sneered and continued flying forward.
"They're all birds of a feather, they all deserve to die."

Shi Yu glanced at him,
"If he deserves to die, why did you come to save him?"

Tie Dan suddenly changed the subject,
"Your family... has anyone among them turned into a demon? They're eating people so fiercely, the stone arch should be close to death by now."

Shi Yi was taken aback, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Liu Xiaoliu, you know quite a lot, don't you?"

Iron Egg said,
"I may know a fair amount, but probably not as much as you, a family member, know."

After all, a mere princess is hardly worth the fierce competition among the Xiao family, the Eastern King, the Three Realms, and the rebels.

What secret do you hold that makes so many people covet you?

Shi Yu remained silent for a moment.

Tie Dan didn't press for details, after all, he didn't have the time, and more eunuchs were appearing...

"Ow—!"

"Ah--!"

"Jingle bells, jingle bells!"

This time it was probably a head chef, a eunuch, wielding a pot and a spatula, wielding a rolling blade, slashing at feet with a gurgling motion. This kind of fighting style was disgusting. That pot, I don't know what kind of magical weapon it was, couldn't be cleaved by a knife, couldn't be pierced by a sword, and when carried on the shoulder, it was like a tortoise shell. Smashing it made a clanging sound like blacksmithing.

Unfortunately, the eunuch was also highly skilled. Even when Tie Dan swung his knife and attacked him forcefully, he couldn't overpower him for a while. The eunuch would also suddenly counterattack with a series of small knife jumps and strikes, and take the opportunity to do a three-hit stab, which was really annoying.

Tie Dan had no choice but to brandish his broadsword, smashing pots and pans while circling around him, which was quite comical. Shi Yi, oblivious to everything else, watched for a while and kept laughing.

However, Tie Dan is Tie Dan after all. There are very few people in the world he can't kill if he wants to. After maneuvering for a while, he took advantage of the opponent's path dependence, rolled his knife around, and suddenly kicked the bottom of the pot.

This kick was incredibly ruthless. With just a twist of the waist and a pull of the hips, almost without warning, the invisible, formless, and shapeless sword energy reversed its course along the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, and was activated from the Lidui acupoint on the toe. It stabbed out fiercely, striking the head eunuch in the chest with a kick straight at his heart!

Immediately, a muffled "thud!" was heard, and the eunuch was thrown over like a turtle, tumbling several times before collapsing to the ground. Blood gushed from his mouth and nose, his face turned bluish-purple, and he gasped for breath before his heart was severed by the shock and he was kicked to death!

Shi Yi glanced sideways for a moment.
"Wow, Xiao Liu, you've become so strong!"

Iron protein glanced at her, picked up the pot, and dumped it on her head.

"I've always been strong, but you haven't improved at all."

It's ridiculous to have a stone covered in gauze and then topped with a pot.

"What am I supposed to improve? I am the princess of Kan Kingdom! Besides, it's only been two years since we last met, how much could I possibly have improved..."

Tie Dan snorted coldly.

"So you don't even want to avenge your family's grudges, and you're just going to wait to be eaten?"
Or are you planning to have children for them and then go back to Hanlan Palace to become a concubine?

Shi Yu fell silent again.

Tie Dan didn't have time to exchange lines with her either, because that old eunuch was on the screen again...

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

This time, another eunuch jumped down from the roof! Hammer in his left hand and chisel in his right, he pounded away furiously, creating a chaotic scene of lightning and thunder! Electric snakes shot out, striking the iron balls from all directions!
"cut--!"

Tie Dan also swung his broadsword, unleashing his true energy and slashing out a mountain of sword energy! He used his longsword to freeze the thunder and lightning!

"boom!"

Lightning flashed everywhere, and thunder roared! The lightning was completely absorbed by the ice wall, and the high-energy current blasted the Xuanji Glacier apart, causing it to crumble and disintegrate! In an instant, the temperature soared, water vapor filled the air, ice shards scattered, and hot and cold air swirled, creating a gust of snow and mist within the palace!
"Yeah!"

"Aha!"

"Ping ping pong pong!"

Without a moment's rest, the two leaped forward, charging into the icy wind to engage in a fierce battle. Amidst the swirling snow and mist, only the glint of blades and the clang of metal echoed, sparks flying everywhere. They fought fiercely, their blades locked in close combat, until blood and flesh flew everywhere!
A moment later, the icy wind and snowstorm dissipated, revealing two figures standing amidst the scattered ice shards.

"Clap"

The eunuch who was repairing the eunuch fell to the ground and died. Naturally, he had already been slit in the throat by a hidden sword in the icy wind. His meridians were also eroded by the Xuanji Ice Qi, and he was shattered into a pile of blood foam and ice shards.

Tie Dan also let out a heavy breath, his hot, fishy breath shooting out three feet like dragon flames, as he pulled out the lightning nail embedded in his ribs. He had to catch his breath for a moment, urgently using his internal energy to repair the cracked bones that had been smashed.

Damn, this book about the Prince's Mansion is a bit hard to read...

Shi Yu, wrapped in fairy silk and carrying an iron pot on her head, peeked out and, sure enough, brought up the very thing she didn't want to discuss.
Am I a burden to you?

Tie Dan ignored her.

Shi Yi did not understand.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, why do you have to get involved in the Shi family's affairs?"
"With your abilities, where in the world can't you go? Why bother fighting here?"

Tie Dan looked at her.
"And what about you? Running around east and west, borrowing troops and begging for help, with your meager abilities, you dare to negotiate with a tiger and oppose that evil dragon?"

Why not just change your name, marry an honest man, and hide far away?

Shi Yu puffed out her flat chest, radiating an air of unparalleled pride.

“That’s different. I am from the royal family of Kan Kingdom, and I am a descendant of the Shi family.”

I am born with the blood of an immortal, and I have the eyes of a dragon god. From the moment I was born, I was destined to be the king of the Kan Kingdom.

We should be born in Guyan, buried in the vast desert, guarding the northern frontier and awe-inspiring the Yinshan Mountains.

This land of nine provinces and twelve kingdoms is my own domain.

This vast land of Kan Kingdom is my own land.

Now that things have come to this, and the world is in chaos, I don't even care if my own home is gone. Who else can I expect to clean up after me?
Even if I die, I must die with dignity, in my own home, so as not to tarnish the name of the Duke's mansion or bring shame upon our ancestors.

Tie Dan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Is this the setting? I understand..."

Shi Yu nudged him.
"Hey, I'm done talking, it's your turn."

"Wow!"

Then another eunuch appeared.

"Oh!"

This time it was a stealthy eunuch who used some unknown technique to escape. Tie Dan only noticed him when his silent palm strike was about to land, and he had to quickly counter with his own palm. Tie Dan was so shocked that he was sent flying backward.

To be fair, even the weakest Nascent Soul cultivators are still Nascent Soul cultivators. Tie Dan had fought at least five of them along the way, and each of them possessed astonishing power. They attacked with all their might as if in a final burst of energy, truly causing Tie Dan internal injuries and damage to his Dao body.

Although each move was at most ten, which was fast enough, if the Sword Sect were to unleash their true skills, they wouldn't be fighting so anxiously. They would probably be killed instantly with a lightning-fast sword strike at the "Ready—!" stage.

Unfortunately, Tie Dan was worried about the Blood God Child in the sky and was also carrying a burden, so he couldn't easily roll over to dissipate his power. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the palm strike head-on. He was shaken by the palm strike, causing his blood and qi to churn, his throat to taste blood, and he suffered internal injuries.

Fortunately, this move wasn't a complete defeat. After all, Tie Dan's Xuanji Ice Qi had a freezing effect, making it incredibly annoying to fight. Moreover, Tie Dan had a hidden Wuxiang Sword Qi trick. With just one palm strike, the sword qi broke through the opponent's defenses, shattered bones and severed arms, and pierced straight into the heart! Xuanji Ice Qi followed closely behind, taking advantage of the opening, flowing upwards along the meridians, and directly invading the lungs and internal organs!
This vicious and insidious palm strike made the stealthy eunuch catch his breath. He couldn't continue his attack, and was even forced to roar and cut off his own arm to stop the icy attack!
But Tie Dan wouldn't give him time to react. With a swift turn and agile movement, he circled around from behind! He struck at the back with a palm! But this piercing palm missed its mark! It only shattered an afterimage!
It turns out this stealthy eunuch is quite skilled! He can maneuver! He can move with agility! He directly circled around from behind! A palm strike came whistling through the air, aimed straight at Tie Dan's temple!

It must be said that even among the old eunuchs, there were differences in skill. This stealthy fellow's movements were truly swift and unpredictable! So much so that Tie Dan was caught off guard and almost got slapped on the head!

Fortunately, it was a close call, because Shi Yu's cumbersome head was also stuck in the palm strike's path, and the old eunuch actually managed to stop his hand abruptly! He withdrew his palm force to avoid Shi Yu's head, and then struck out to hit Tie Dan!

However, in a duel between masters, in that pause, that sudden movement, that contraction and expansion, the very essence of death is revealed! Flaws abound!
Tie Dan seized the opportunity, unleashing a powerful back kick! The Qi of the Formless Sword emanated from the Kunlun acupoint on his heel! A single, powerful kick ripped open the abdomen! The stealthy eunuch was sent flying ten zhang away! Blood exploded around him! His pinkish-white intestines spilled all over the ground!
Shi Yu only realized what had happened at this moment. In the blink of an eye, another Nascent Soul eunuch had been kicked to death. She sighed sincerely.

"...So annoying."

Tie Dan remained silent, glancing at the eunuch and then at Shi Yu.

"Come sit in the front."

Shi Yu, “?”
