Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Fu Yaoqin's faint but clear cry of pain reached Xie Xiaoyi's ears.

Xie Xiaoyi instantly flew into a rage: "You dare touch her—you're asking for death!"

A furious roar shook the sky, and with a sudden stomp of his foot on the ground, his figure shot straight up to the city wall like a black thunderbolt!

He gripped the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword tightly in his hand and slashed down at Wang Jiling's head!

"Your Majesty, be careful—"

Yu Shinan was startled and quickly made a hand seal to the Qi cultivators in the city, instructing them to increase the power of the barrier.

The guards quickly moved to protect Wang Jiling, as they could not bear the responsibility if he were injured.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, Xie Xiaoyi's enraged sword struck the barrier, causing the entire space to tremble.

The next moment, a tremendous counterforce began to surge.

Xie Xiaoyi felt his body stiffen. He tried to circulate his true energy, but only managed to hold on for three breaths before being thrown back and crashing to the ground.

Dust flew everywhere.

He straightened up and frowned as he looked at the invisible barrier.

It is indeed very difficult to break through, not to mention that the realm is suppressed by the external formation, which greatly reduces the cultivation level.

When Wang Jiling on the city wall first saw Xie Xiaoyi flying towards him, he was initially startled, but he was relieved when he saw that Xie Xiaoyi could not break through the barrier of the Qi cultivators.

He curled his lips slightly, lightly brushed Fu Yaoqin's cheek with his fingertips, and looked down with a cold gaze:

"Fu Yaoqin, today I will show you that the person you can't let go of in your heart is just an ordinary mortal after meeting me!"

Under the whole world, is it not the king's land, and the coast of leading the land is not the king's ministers.

"The great laws and rules must all bow to me. Xie Xiaoyi is nothing but a coward who dares to trespass on my domain. He can only die!"

Fu Yaoqin twisted her neck and forcefully shook off his hand that was pressing against her face.

Ignoring the eunuchs pulling her away, she shouted at Xie Xiaoyi with all her might:

"Xiao Yi, don't worry about me! Go quickly! I'd rather bite my tongue off and die than be humiliated like this. You can avenge me later!"

She knew that if Xie Xiaoyi hadn't tried to save her, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to escape.

She could also see that Xie Xiaoyi's martial arts skills had reached a level that even the emperor was terrified of.

Therefore, she absolutely could not let Xie Xiaoyi risk his life for her sake.

Upon hearing her words, Wang Jiling's smile froze, and his imperial anger surged.

He slapped her hard across the face with a crisp slap.

A sharp "snap" rang out, particularly jarring from the city wall.

"Ugh—!" Fu Yaoqin groaned involuntarily in pain.

After hitting her, Wang Jiling looked at Fu Yaoqin's flushed cheeks and felt a sudden tightness in his heart. He subconsciously reached out to touch the spot where she had been hit.

"Does it hurt?"

"Don't touch me!"

Fu Yaoqin turned her head away coldly, unwilling to let him touch her in the slightest.

Wang Jiling's hand froze in mid-air, his face growing increasingly gloomy.

His gaze fell once again on Xie Xiaoyi below the city, his mind racing.

It took a lot of manpower and effort to kill this official.

If we let him escape today, given his cultivation level, he will surely become a great threat in the future.

He couldn't be on guard at all times, much less keep Fu Yaoqin by his side as a bargaining chip forever.

If Xie Xiaoyi finds an opening, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Wang Jiling's eyes. Looking down at Xie Xiaoyi, he sternly threatened:

"Xie Xiaoyi, listen to me clearly!"

If you dare to take even half a step back today, or dare to turn around and run away, I will make Fu Yaoqin wish she were dead!

"I want to see whether you want to live your own life or whether you want her to live well!"

These words effectively pinned Xie Xiaoyi down in this encirclement, unless he disregarded Fu Yaoqin's life or death.

"Sword—go!"

Xie Xiaoyi ignored Wang Jiling, let out a loud shout, and with a flick of his wrist, the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword flew out of his hand!

The longsword soared through the air, transforming into a dazzling streak of light, and crashed fiercely into the barrier!

Since others will be repelled, let's continue to apply pressure to the barrier with sword control techniques and see who can fight to the end!

really!

The Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword continued to pierce, causing the barrier to distort violently, its light flickering.

Yu Shinan's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward, bowed to Wang Jiling, and said urgently:

"Your Majesty, the killing formation outside the city can suppress Xie Xiaoyi's cultivation level, but his true energy is more powerful than imagined."

If he continues to charge forward on his sword like this, the qi cultivators within the city probably won't be able to hold out for long, and the barrier will be broken sooner or later!

"What does Minister Yu think?"

"Your Majesty, look! The smoke from the Qilin statue rises in the distance, proving that the two generals from the North and South have arrived. Why not join forces and charge?"

Wang Jiling looked in the direction Yu Shinan pointed and saw yellow smoke rising in the distance, which was the signal for assembly.

"Granted. Proceed."

Yu Shinan accepted the order, raised his hand and quickly formed a Xun trigram command seal in the air, and a beam of azure light shot straight into the sky.

In an instant, deafening shouts of battle erupted from both sides outside the Forbidden City!

At the end of the official road on the left, smoke and dust billowed.

A great general, wielding the Heavenly King's Slaying Blade, led ten thousand iron cavalry in a thunderous charge.

It was none other than the Northern Frontier War God – Kuang Tie.

On the right flank, in the high forests and mountains, bugles sounded.

A general, wielding the Eight Desolations Sky-Splitting Spear, led ten thousand elite heavy armored soldiers in a sweeping advance.

It was none other than the God of War of the Southern Frontier—Kai Wang.

In the blink of an eye, both armies pressed forward simultaneously.

With the addition of Lü Wushuang's main Imperial Guard forces on the front, the three forces combined to encircle Xie Xiaoyi, totaling thirty to forty thousand elite armored soldiers, trapping him firmly in the center.

Swords and spears filled the air, and the murderous aura was overwhelming; it was a true inescapable net.

Just now.

Lu Wushuang roared fiercely, "Three armies, charge in turn, exhaust his true energy!"

The Imperial Guards, the Northern Frontier's Mad Iron Division, and the Southern Frontier's King Kai Division responded simultaneously, with squads of soldiers charging forward.

Not far away, Qin Huaiyu and Wang Shaobo had already stabilized their surging internal energy. Understanding each other perfectly, they leaped out at the same time, one to the left and one to the right, rushing straight at Xie Xiaoyi!

One wielded a knife to sever the waist, the other punched the heart.

Xie Xiaoyi's aura solidified, his mind became clear, and he could focus on three things at once.

The moment the crowd attacked, the power of the auspicious beast within him erupted.

The Ancestral Dragon's True Qi circulated, resisting the suppression of his cultivation level by the killing formation.

The power of Dragon Essence and Phoenix Blood propelled the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword, which continued to crash into the barrier of the Purple Gold City.

The power of the tortoise spirit protects the body, and the power of the qilin covers the arms.

At this moment, Wang Shaobo's sword energy arrived.

Xie Xiaoyi casually drew a horizontal line with his left arm, which resembled a unicorn's might.

With a loud "bang!", the violent force rebounded, and Wang Shaobo was sent flying more than ten feet away as if struck by a heavy hammer.

Qin Huaiyu's fist followed closely behind.

Xie Xiaoyi threw a punch with his right arm.

"boom--"

Following the same method, Qin Huaiyu was also blasted away.

Two masters were defeated in a single move.

The surrounding soldiers had already charged in, thrusting their spears at him.

Xie Xiaoyi threw a left punch.

"boom--!!!"

Dozens of armored soldiers in front were like paper, instantly sent flying into the air, screaming in agony.

Immediately following, he took a step forward and swept his right fist horizontally.

Dozens more people were thrown into the air, their armor dented, and they coughed up blood.

The elite troops who took turns attacking were like weeds in front of his powerful arms.

One punch knocks down a group, another sends a bunch flying.
