Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 226 Taking Action! Let's see who can get past me!
"Big brother!"

On Lu Yuan's side.

Seeing his brothers being killed one after another, the men around Lu Yuan couldn't hold back any longer.

All eyes turned to Lu Yuan, who was in the main seat.

"Should we just run?"

"These are the Embroidered Uniform Guards!"

"Big brother!"

They naturally knew what the Embroidered Uniform Guard was, and how could a rabble like theirs possibly fight against them?

In just a short while.

They've already lost nearly a hundred men, but the Embroidered Uniform Guards haven't lost a single one, not even a single one is injured.

With such a disparity in strength, how could they possibly fight against the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
",,,"

Watch this scene.

Although Lu Yuan didn't speak, his fists were clenched tightly.

Obviously.

Lu Yuan wasn't stupid; he naturally understood that this situation was not advantageous for them.

If this continues, something really bad might happen!
Given Lu Yuan's personality, he would have run away immediately if faced with such a dangerous situation in the past.

But the situation is different now.

run away?

Lu Yuan still wanted to run, but he couldn't run at all; at least, now was not the time to escape.

Thinking of what the middle-aged man had said about helping him, Lu Yuan's expression changed for a while before he finally waved his hand and said directly.

"Give the order: not a single one is allowed to escape. I'll take care of them myself!"

Anyway.

Lu Yuan's cultivation at the Acquired Realm is truly genuine.

Dealing with first- or second-rate martial artists is quite simple.

As he spoke, Lu Yuan grabbed his large machete and leaped toward the dock.

"careful!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guards at this time.

Upon realizing what was happening, they immediately stopped attacking the ordinary river bandits and quickly dodged backward.

next moment!
"boom!"

Lu Yuan's figure crashed down, his broadsword slamming into the ground.

The entire ground was shattered into pieces by this powerful force, raising a cloud of dust.

"Humph!"

Amidst the swirling dust, Lu Yuan emerged, a broadsword slung over his shoulder, his expression disdainful.

"I've long wanted to see what makes the Embroidered Uniform Guard so formidable!"

It was also because Lu Yuan could see that the Imperial Guards in front of him were mostly second- or third-rate martial artists. As a martial artist at the Acquired Realm, why should he be afraid?

That's why Lu Yuan had the courage to say such things.

Seeing that their boss had made a move.

The bandits around him became much more excited.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Great!"

"Brothers, let's charge with the boss!"

",,,"

With Lu Yuan leading the charge, the previously scattered river bandits immediately regained their morale and began preparing to charge into Linshui City again.

Compared with it.

The Imperial Guards frowned at first when they saw Lu Yuan, but quickly became serious.

"Don't panic, just do as the adults have taught you!"

"understand!"

The other Imperial Guards nearby nodded in understanding.

It's obvious that they understand what this means.

"Ok?"

Seeing these Imperial Guards, they were not intimidated by their own strength; instead, they formed a kind of battle formation.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

Lu Yuan didn't believe that the highest-ranking member of the Imperial Guards in front of him was only at the first-class level, which was a level lower than his own.

I just don't believe it.

With such a disparity in strength, what do I have to fear?

It's just a last-ditch resistance.

With this thought.

Lu Yuan swung the broadsword on his shoulder and charged towards the Imperial Guards in front of him.

Seeing their leader make a move, the bandits around him became even more excited.

One by one, they shouted at the top of their lungs and followed their leader, rushing towards the direction of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Come on!"

"Hahahaha!"

Perhaps that's how these people see it.

Their leader has already made a move, so the outcome of this battle is already predetermined!
There's no way anyone could stop them.

"get ready!"

The expressions of the group of Imperial Guards became even more solemn.

Those of third-rate skill are sent to deal with those low-level river bandits.

Several first-rate martial artists led a group of second-rate martial artists to deal with Lu Yuan, a martial artist who had acquired his skills after birth.

"court death!"

See this scene.

Lu Yuan's expression turned somewhat disdainful.

Someone whose cultivation level was lower than his own actually dared to try and fight him.

What, do you really think you can beat me?

"Watch me chop you all to death with one stroke!"

As he spoke, Lu Yuan, channeling his inner strength, unleashed a powerful slash at the foremost Imperial Guards!

"Keng!"

A piercing metallic clang rang out.

Originally, in Lu Yuan's view...

Such a disparity in strength, and his full-force strike.

Even if we don't kill them outright, we could definitely send them flying without any problem!

What Lu Yuan found hard to accept was that these people only swayed slightly before steadily blocking his attack.

"How can this be!"

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan found it somewhat hard to accept.

He immediately resumed swinging his broadsword, slashing again and again.

"Keng! Keng! Keng!"

The scale of the operation was indeed considerable.

However, it had no real effect; the Imperial Guards still firmly blocked Lu Yuan's broadsword.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, who was already somewhat driven to madness, did not notice at all that each time he caught his knife, it was not the same Imperial Guard, and that these Imperial Guards were scattered.

But the auras around them seemed to be connected!
It looks like a group of people, but in reality it's just one person!
,,,

"Is this an array?"

At the same time, Ye Liuyun's ship had also arrived at the dock.

only.

The battle situation was not unfavorable, so he did not make any moves. Seeing that his Linshui City was safe, the magistrate was visibly relieved.

Meanwhile, at this time, in Shisheng...

Seeing the group of Imperial Guards working together to deal with Lu Yuan, a martial artist who had acquired his skills, he couldn't help but mutter a sentence.

Although I've never seen one, I've heard of some formations.

The seamless teamwork among these Imperial Guards, and their seemingly chaotic yet orderly rotations, clearly indicated that they were not just standing around randomly.

Shi Sheng immediately realized that this was probably some kind of formation!
"How about it!"

Look at Shi Sheng's surprised expression.

Si Nan chuckled and said.

"This is a formation that the adults specially taught these people. Isn't it amazing!"

Look at how smug Si Nan looks.

Recovering from his surprise, Shi Sheng rolled his eyes and said in an annoyed tone.

"The master's formation is certainly powerful, but what does that have to do with you? It's as if you taught them it!"

He was unhappy to see Si Nan looking so smug.

"Tch! I'm not going to lower myself to your level!"

At other times, Si Nan might have been able to banter with Shi Sheng, but now was clearly not the time for that.

So Si Nan just rolled his eyes at Shi Sheng and ignored him.

Jiang Jing, after watching for a while, suddenly looked at his master with some confusion.

"My lord! This formation looks somewhat like the legendary method of connecting evil energy used by General Yue Xiu!"

It's just a rumor.

The army under General Yue Xiu possessed a unique method of connecting malevolent energy, which allowed them to link all the malevolent energy of an entire army together, transforming it into a unified whole.

Increase your strength exponentially in a short period of time!

"Good eye!"

Upon hearing Jiang Jing's analysis, Ye Liuyun smiled and said something.

They are indeed very similar.

After all, this thing was obtained from General Yue.

Ye Liuyun had only asked out of curiosity, but he didn't expect General Yue to be so generous, directly telling Ye Liuyun the method of condensing evil energy without keeping anything to himself.

Since he had obtained it, Ye Liuyun figured he might as well use it and taught it to his subordinates.

but.

These people have only learned the basics. Yue Xiu's men, on the other hand, perfected the art of condensing baleful energy through countless battles on the battlefield.

These Imperial Guards are only just beginning their training, and this is the first time they've been officially put into use.

It's already quite impressive that they were able to utilize such methods.

Ye Liuyun was at least quite satisfied.

Although Lu Yuan has not yet shown any disadvantage in the short term, it is already difficult for him to gain the upper hand.

"Target: Lu Yuan!"

Cultivation level: Acquired realm!
Talent Attributes: Innate Brute Strength (Blue), Water Sensing (Purple),

"Water Sensing (Purple): Possesses an unimaginable sensitivity to water, can breathe underwater, and can recover from injuries and regain strength by diving into the water!"

This is a bit unexpected.

Unexpectedly, this lowly bandit could possess a purple-quality Heavenly Sub-attribute.

Moreover, these talent attributes are actually quite effective.

No wonder Lu Yuan was able to become the leader of this gang of river bandits; he really does have some skills.

I had heard before that Lu Yuan was hunted down for a long time before becoming a river bandit, but he survived each time. Now it seems that his talent for sensing water sources is indispensable.

This is why Lu Yuan is always able to survive.

What a pity, such talent would soon be mine.

Clearly, Ye Liuyun had already taken a liking to Lu Yuan's talent, after all, it was of purple quality.

Now that we've encountered this opportunity, wouldn't it be a great pity to miss it?

However, there's no need to rush right now. It's already in our grasp, so a little longer won't make a difference.

It was as if it had sensed something.

Ye Liuyun suddenly turned his head and looked at a large ship not far away.

Without a doubt, this must be the boat that Lu Yuan and his group used when they came here.

Having always possessed this type of sensory talent, Ye Liuyun's sensory abilities became even stronger after his cultivation reached the Grandmaster realm.

"Is it innate perfection?"

Ye Liuyun sensed it.

Inside that ship, there was also the aura of a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm.

No wonder.

Is this the source of Lu Yuan's confidence to rebel? Or rather, is it the reason that forces Lu Yuan to rebel?

For a while.

Ye Liuyun's heart began to stir with anticipation. He wasn't in a hurry to take action, but rather wanted to see how things would unfold.

,,,

"Keng! Keng! Keng!"

The sounds of clashing weapons continued to ring out.

It is clearly visible.

The expression on Lu Yuan's face.

It has gone from being easy and carefree at the beginning to looking incredibly ugly.

They completely lacked the confidence they had at the beginning.

As time went by, the Imperial Guards became increasingly adept at working together, which ironically put Lu Yuan at a disadvantage.

From the very beginning, he swung his sword forcefully.

Now, I can only passively defend myself by swinging my sword.

Just like that, Lu Yuan, caught off guard, was slashed away by a single blow!

"Oh!"

The figure crashed heavily to the ground.

However, thanks to his acquired martial arts physique, Lu Yuan quickly stood up again.

"What the hell!"

After cursing under his breath, he glared fiercely at the Imperial Guards in front of him.

They were clearly not as skilled as me, yet they still managed to cut me down. Are these Imperial Guards all monsters?

"Big brother!"

Simultaneously.

Because Lu Yuan was slashed and sent flying, even though he didn't seem to be injured.

This situation also silenced many of the previously shouting bandits, and their eyes began to show fear.

after all.

If even their eldest brother is no match for these people, then if they continue to persist, they're probably all doomed.

He became a river pirate in order to live a better life.

Don't assume that these people are all really loyal.

When things are going well, everyone gathers together, but if danger really comes, they'll probably all run faster than the last.

These people haven't run away yet.

But after exchanging glances, they both saw the retreat in each other's eyes, and took a slight step back, as if they would turn around and run away at the first sign of trouble!
"Shut up, I'm not dead yet!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan, hearing his subordinates' shouts, simply shouted something without bothering to do it himself.

For Lu Yuan...

As long as he's alive, he can recruit as many of these subordinates as he wants, so he doesn't care at all.

After giving a reprimand.

Looking at the Imperial Guards in front of him, Lu Yuan did not impulsively take action again.

With his back to the ship he was on, he shouted something.

"My lord, if you don't intervene soon, I'm really going to die!"

I definitely won't die.

Lu Yuan was a smart man; he originally thought he could win, which is why he made a move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yuan was already prepared to escape into the water if he were to make a move again.

After that.

Naturally, the person inside the cabin had to take action; they couldn't really expect to fight these Imperial Guards themselves.

"???"

As soon as these words came out.

Let alone the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Even Lu Yuan's men looked confused, clearly not understanding what their boss meant by shouting.

They looked at each other, both of them appearing bewildered.

Only a few of Lu Yuan's closest followers showed knowing expressions in their eyes.

No wonder.

If they weren't hiding some secret methods, their leader wouldn't have openly rebelled!
"on!"

The group of Imperial Guards surrounding Lu Yuan exchanged glances but didn't linger.

He said this at the same time and rushed towards Lu Yuan's direction again.

Although we don't know if Lu Yuan has any other tricks up his sleeve, killing him directly is the best course of action at this point.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The words fell.

A series of sword shadows swiftly swung towards Lu Yuan.

",,,"

Damn it, am I going to be sold out?!

There was no movement in the cabin in front of him, but the Imperial Guards were already rushing towards him.

Lu Yuan's face was grim, as if he was contemplating whether he should run away now, or if he really had to stay here and wait to die.

Good thing!

Just as Lu Yuan was about to retreat.

next moment!
Inside the cabin, a palm strike shattered the Jinyiwei's sword energy.

"call!"

Seeing the group of Imperial Guards being driven back, Lu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I managed to restrain myself.

If I had actually run away just now, the other party probably would have attacked me too!
"grown ups!"

He saw the middle-aged man's figure fly out of the cabin and land beside him.

Once he realized what was happening, Lu Yuan quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

The bandits following Lu Yuan didn't dare to say anything at this moment. It was the first time they had realized that their leader had another leader above him!
"My lord, these Imperial Guards are really difficult to deal with. I fell into their trap without even realizing it!"

Lu Yuan was about to explain.

Being defeated by a group of people with lower cultivation levels than oneself is shameful to even talk about.

What if the other party thinks you are weak and useless, and attacks you first?

Fortunately.

The middle-aged man had no intention of attacking Lu Yuan. He calmly looked at the group of Imperial Guards in front of him, realizing that they were using a formation.

But middle-aged men are still very confident.

Being able to defeat Lu Yuan, who is at the Acquired Realm, is already quite impressive.

But the thought of defeating himself, who was at the peak of the Innate Realm, made it absolutely impossible.

"Send your men to continue pushing into the town. I'll handle these Imperial Guards!"

"Understood, sir!"

Upon hearing that the other party was willing to take action, they stopped the Imperial Guards.

Lu Yuan naturally had no problem.

Without the interference of these Imperial Guards, Lu Yuan didn't think anyone in Linshui City could stop him.

"Brothers, rush with me!"

With that, he led the charge into Linshui City.

Those river bandits, though still somewhat unaware of the situation.

But the thought that once they rushed into Linshui City, they would be surrounded by wealth and glory, and their expressions immediately became excited.

Without saying a word, he raised his voice and prepared to charge.

The Imperial Guards stationed there tried to block their way, but the middle-aged man stepped forward.

"With me here, you won't be able to move a muscle!"

While talking.

The aura of ascending to the perfect innate realm erupted instantly.

"is it?"

And just then.

A voice came from behind the middle-aged man.

,,,

Just moments before, the instant this person made their move, Ye Liuyun's men reacted.

"Perfect innate state?"

Jiang Jing, who was also at the Innate Perfection Realm, was naturally able to sense the fluctuations in the other party's cultivation.

When they saw those Imperial Guards being stopped.

Jiang Jing and the others all turned their gazes toward Ye Liuyun's position with tacit understanding, awaiting their master's orders.

"Go!"

Now that they've shown themselves, there's no need to wait any longer.

not to mention.

You're not young anymore, yet you're quite the actor. Don't you know that within the Great Qian Dynasty, no one is allowed to be more pretentious than me?

A sudden sound.

The middle-aged man was taken aback at first, then, sensing the threat, he quickly turned around and gathered his inner strength to defend himself.

But then...

"A stunning shot!"

The shadow of the gun flickered.

Even though they had taken precautions, the middle-aged man was still blasted away.

midair.

The middle-aged man quickly regained his balance and landed steadily on the ground.

"puff!"

Even so, the shot he had just received still caused him considerable internal injuries. As soon as he stood up, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Innate perfection!"

He raised his head solemnly and looked at Jiang Jing, who was holding a long spear and pointing it directly at him.

There's no mistake, this fluctuation in cultivation level definitely indicates that the cultivator has reached the same level as me, the peak of the Innate Realm.

at the same time.

On Lu Yuan's side.

He thought that with the middle-aged man taking action, all he had to do was lead his gang of henchmen to burn, kill, and plunder in Linshui City.

But the next moment.

Before Lu Yuan could even react, he was blasted away by a tremendous force.

"Humph!"

Watching Lu Yuan's figure fly backward.

Shi Sheng snorted coldly and at the same time flexed his wrists slightly.

"If you want to enter the city and rob things, you'd better see if you have the guts!"

at the same time.

Si Nan and Feng Feiyi also appeared on the side.

That middle-aged man with perfect innate cultivation can be dealt with by Jiang Jing, who has the same cultivation level.

As for the band of river pirates in front of them, they are naturally the ones to deal with them.

"Lord Senhu!"

The group of Imperial Guards who were first present saw Si Nan and his companions appear.

His expression immediately turned to surprise and delight.

At the same time, they saw Ye Liuyun walking towards them.

"Your Excellency the Pacification Envoy!"

Faced with these surprised and delighted gazes, Ye Liuyun simply waved his hand and offered a word of praise.

"well done!"

It's quite remarkable that these Imperial Guards were able to hold out for so long.

Upon hearing this praise from Ye Liuyun, the assembled Imperial Guards couldn't hide their joy.

He waved his hand.

Ye Liuyun didn't say anything more, but instead watched the battle.

Having reached the Grandmaster level, if Ye Liuyun had to personally handle every battle, wouldn't that make his Grandmaster status seem rather low?

Among these people.

The one with the highest cultivation level was that middle-aged man who had reached the perfect innate realm.

Jiang Jing is more than capable of dealing with such an opponent.

As for Lu Yuan, the leader of the water bandits, he was surrounded by Si Nan and the others, even with his purple-quality talent of water source sensing.

But if you can't get access to a water source, then it's all for nothing!
