The Fengdu Ghost Emperor rarely refrained from refuting Zhao Baiyang’s words but spoke coldly, “I have long yearned for this forbidden zone of the Imperial City.”
The three of them smiled at each other, their True Qi stirring freely and their robes fluttering as they leapt towards the Imperial City.
“Loose arrows!”
Indeed, the soldiers assigned to guard the Imperial City were all elite troops.
Under the organization of the chief officer, archers had their bows drawn. An order was given and countless arrows rained down from the high city walls.
The three were not in the least afraid. Their True Qi was flowing freely and unimpeded. The rain of arrows could not touch them.
In an instant, the three leaped onto the city wall, took action, and countless soldiers fell at their command. Soon, within a radius of several meters, no soldiers stood.
“Enter the Imperial City and execute the foolish ruler!” Zhao Baiyang shouted loudly.
“Enter the Imperial City and execute the foolish ruler!” Many skilled martial artists followed Zhao Baiyang and his company onto the city wall while those lesser martial artists stormed the city gate under the leadership of Yu Yiyao.
The gate was breached by the time they arrived and skilled warriors were already coming out from the inside to clear a path for them.
“Leader, the tyrant is currently boating in the Imperial Garden!” A middle-aged man in the imperial guard uniform appeared in front of them. To their surprise, it was the Diamond Sect’s Master, who had escaped from the northwest Dao rebellion with the surviving skilled warriors of his sect and sought Zhao Baiyang’s protection.
Once the Diamond Sect’s Master’s sect was extinguished, he developed a deep hatred for the Great Ming imperial court and would not miss this opportunity. He even volunteered to infiltrate the Imperial City to act as their inside man.
“This time we owe a great debt to Taoist Friend Kongxiang! ” Zhao Baiyang spoke with a smile, a wave of his sleeve motioning to the two, “These two are the Diamond Sect’s Master, Taoist Friend Kongxiang. ”
“Nice to meet you, Taoist Friend Kongxiang!” Xue Wuheng and the Fengdu Ghost Emperor both nodded.
Then, under Kongxiang’s guidance, the group headed towards the Imperial Garden.
“Attack!”
Countless soldiers surged like a tide.
While there were quite a few accomplished fighters among these soldiers, there were none who were capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with someone as strong as Zhao Baiyang and couldn’t impede their advance.
All of this was because Zhao Baiyang and his comrades acted too suddenly. No one could have expected such audacity to breach the Imperial City directly.
Even though people have gone to send messages and summon those who serve the royal family and the hidden masters in the Great Ming Imperial court…
But everything needs time. In the short time, these soldiers, even in formation, could not stop the forward movement of Zhao Baiyang and his group, and they could only continue retreating.
“How dare you intrude upon the important grounds of the Imperial City, you all deserved to die!”
As Zhao Baiyang and the others continued to advance, they were not far from the Imperial Garden when the stronger warriors finally arrived, and an angry bellow echoed forth.
Next, over a dozen first-grade martial artists, leading an army of numerous soldiers and skilled warriors, stood in the path of Zhao Baiyang and his comrades.
Boom, boom, boom…
Pei Xuanjing and Fa Wuyi had crossed hands several times in a blink of an eye. Their fists and palms whistled incessantly. Within a radius of a hundred meters on the Long Street, no one dared approach, intimidated by their overwhelming presences.
The surging force of the True Qi, the boiling eruption of the Blood Qi, and the everlasting collision of the true intentions of the Martial Arts, far transcended the imaginations of those present.
Snap, crackle, pop…Consecutive bursts of explosive sounds like thunder resounded throughout Long Street.
Wherever the afterimages of the two passed, stones flew, walls collapsed, and strong gusts roared incessantly from the collision of their strikes.
The more Fa Wuyi traded blows with Pei Xuanjing, the more terrified he became. He couldn’t hide the look of disbelief in his eyes.
Even though he had a high estimation of Pei Xuanjing’s strength, he had never imagined that Pei Xuanjing’s power had reached such an extent.
“The rumors are indeed true. You really broke free from the shackles of the Dragon Elephant Art and strode your own path. Your talents are amazing, comparable only to Ancestor Sanfeng of the True Martial Sect six hundred years ago. Besides him, I, the Capturer, can’t think of anyone who would have such a gift.”
Given his relationship with the Taoist Qingxu and his own status, he naturally knew about Pei Xuanjing’s dual cultivation of the body and True Qi and that Pei Xuanjing was cultivating the Dragon Elephant Art, the unique skill of the Diamond Gate.
However, it’s easy to start as a body cultivator, but hard to master. Otherwise, the Diamond Sect’s Master, Kongxiang, wouldn’t have spent nearly two cycles of 60 years to step into the first-grade realm.
However, Pei Xuanjing was still in his prime and had already cultivated his body to the first-grade realm, which was unheard of. In terms of natural talent, he was already the peer of Master Sanfeng.
His loud voice echoed up and down Long Street and entered the ears of the warriors all around.
“I pale in comparison to the highly skilled Capturer. If the Capturer hadn’t been born into the public service, there would definitely be a place for him in our supreme ranks.” Pei Xuanjing stared at the legendary Chief Capture Officer of Six Gates.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing finally realized why the Great Ming imperial court can suppress the world. Besides those guards stationed across the land, there were also powerhouses like Fa Wuyi.
Just one Chief Capture Officer of the Six Gates had strength that rivaled the Supreme of the martial arts world. How many strong warriors were hidden away by the Great Ming imperial court?
“I wonder how many strong individuals Zhao Baiyang has lured out by invading the Imperial City?” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
Neither of them concealed their conversation. They were heard verbatim by the surrounding warriors, astonishing them..
