Chapter 27

He brandished the blade, sending waves of cold air spreading through the air. The blade pointed forward, invincible! A streak of cold light sliced through the sky, slashing down at Li Yunxiao once again!

"Just a first-grade trash mystic weapon, trash for trash!" Li Yunxiao sneered, taking a strange step to the side. His fingers flicked the blade with lightning speed, producing a crisp "ding" sound.

Immediately, he moved swiftly, his body leaving trails of afterimages as he darted around the sides of the Azure Dragon Blade. Each finger flicked the blade, producing a series of buzzing sounds that spread in all directions. Long Hao was greatly alarmed, feeling as if the precious blade in his hand was wailing in extreme sorrow. Terrified, he hastily withdrew the blade.

"What... what's going on?" Long Hao was completely stunned. The newly unsealed Azure Moon Treasure Blade had reverted to its sealed state, looking just like an ordinary weapon! He hurriedly poured his essence energy into it and shouted, "Azure Moon Treasure Blade, unseal!"

He repeated the command several times, but the blade showed no signs of unsealing. Cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead. Long Hao was almost in tears. What was wrong with this blade? Could it be broken? Oh, this was the result of his entire fortune and countless requests to Master Liang Wenyu!

Li Yunxiao crossed his arms and sneered, "Do you have any other tricks? Show me all of them."

"Kill him! Kill him for me!" Long Hao went mad, completely mad. He roared and, without a second thought, led his men in a charge, raising his blade to strike!

"Hmph, a bunch of shrimps, all of you get out of my way!"

Li Yunxiao shouted coldly, transforming into a series of afterimages as he charged into the soldiers. His fists moved with great power, a flurry of punches that seemed to defy logic.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

The soldiers felt their vision blur, and in the blink of an eye, they were hit by countless punches. Their chest armor shattered, and a surge of energy entered their bodies, sending them flying.

Meng Wu watched in shock. Li Yunxiao moved like a butterfly dancing among flowers, with a faint glow of essence energy flickering around him, yet not a single piece of his clothing was touched!

"This... this is clearly dancing, not fighting!"

This martial technique was called the Hundred Flowers Mistaken Fist. The Hundred Flowers were easy to defend against, but the "mistaken" part was hard to block. It was created by a Martial Emperor named Yuan Shixiao, who, after a life of setbacks, became eccentric and unpredictable. Despite his extraordinary strength and talent, he created this unique technique, focusing on the "mistaken" aspect, surprising and unpredictable.

Soon, the soldiers lay on the ground, groaning in pain. Long Hao's Azure Moon Treasure Blade was taken by Li Yunxiao, and his arm was broken with a "crack," hanging limply from his shoulder, rendering him completely unable to fight.

"This blade may be trash, but it's still worth something. I'll take it. Do you have anything else to give me, dear?" Li Yunxiao kicked Long Hao's leg, and there was another "crack" as the leg bone broke!

Long Hao fell to his knees, his face filled with hatred, and he hissed, "My father is the commander of the Imperial Guard. If you dare to attack me and steal my things, I will bring people to destroy your entire family!"

"Destroy my entire family?" Li Yunxiao's eyes turned cold, and he was about to react when he suddenly smiled. "I also look forward to you bringing people to my home to see if you can destroy them."

Suddenly, a voice called out from a distance, "Who is causing a disturbance here?!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried a shocking authority, rolling over everyone. Each person heard it clearly, and their eardrums felt a sharp pain.

"That's...," Long Hao opened his eyes and immediately saw a lifeline. He shouted frantically, "Sir, Divine Guard Sir! I am Captain Long Hao of the Third Battalion of the City Defense Imperial Guard. Someone is attacking the Imperial Guard. Please, Divine Guard Sir, save me!"

Two men were riding horses side by side on the narrow road. The people on both sides of the road looked at the emblems on their left shoulders, their faces filled with fear, and they quickly moved aside to make way.

The emblem was made of pure gold, featuring a long sword and a shield, representing the Kingdom's strongest military force—the National Divine Guard!

"Who dares to be so bold! Drop your weapon and surrender!" Hui Ming said sternly, a commanding aura emanating from him. He was surprised to see that Li Yunxiao, though impressive, was only a Two-Star Warrior, while Long Hao was a Three-Star Warrior with many helpers. How could he have been defeated?

Hui Guang's eyes fell on the Azure Moon Treasure Blade in Li Yunxiao's hand, and he was slightly startled. He called out, "Brother, take him down!"

Hui Ming sat on his horse, staring coldly at Li Yunxiao. "Will you surrender, or do I have to force you? If I have to force you, you will suffer."

Li Yunxiao showed a look of disdain. "Without asking right from wrong, how do you know I am in the wrong?"

Hui Ming sneered. "The Imperial Guard is the emperor's right arm. They would not wrong you. It seems you are not going to cooperate. I will have to use some effort." He leaped off his horse, spreading his wings like a great bird, and approached Li Yunxiao with incredible speed. His right hand transformed into a blade and slashed down!

Li Yunxiao's face was cold, but his alertness was at its peak. The opponent was a Second-Rank Martial Master, a full realm higher. Although Lan Xuan was a peak Nine-Star Martial Master, the difference of one step was vast, incomparable to a Martial Master!

Even if it were Lan Xuan, he had relied on his understanding of the rules and the power of the heavens to win in one move. Otherwise, even if he could win, it would come at a great cost.

"Hmph!"

Li Yunxiao raised the Azure Moon Treasure Blade, coldly snorted, and slashed out. Instantly, a golden light burst forth, dazzling!

Hui Ming's face changed, and he exclaimed, "You are just a Two-Star Warrior, how can you have such a blade aura? This is... a mystic weapon?!" Recognizing the Azure Moon Treasure Blade, he dared not resist with his palm and quickly withdrew his arm, pushing out with both fists. A surge of essence energy rushed out, like rolling waves, swallowing the blade aura.

"Boom!"

Li Yunxiao felt the energy from the blade rebound, and he took a light step back to dissipate the force, standing with the blade in hand.

Hui Ming landed ten meters away, his eyes flashing with surprise, and he said coldly, "No wonder you dare to commit violence in the street. You rely on having a mystic weapon. But today, you have met us brothers, and your violence will end here!"

"Go to hell!"

Li Yunxiao roared, taking advantage of his distraction to slash the blade through the air. A piercing sound echoed, and a golden light flashed!

The two had a significant power gap, and Li Yunxiao had already assessed the situation. He had to take the initiative; otherwise, the opponent's strength alone would crush him.

Hui Ming glared, surprised that the other party dared to attack. He laughed coldly, "Good, good, you are asking for death!"

He suddenly drew an ancient bronze sword and slashed out. The two golden lights collided in the air, creating a dazzling spectacle.

"Phantom Step, Demon Wind Kick!"

Li Yunxiao suddenly created several afterimages, his body bending and spinning half a circle. His right foot kicked out at an impossible angle, flames appearing beneath it, burning the air!

Hui Ming was greatly alarmed. The afterimages had confused him, and by the time he realized the kick was coming, it was too late. He quickly shrank his body and retreated several meters like a falling leaf before stabilizing.

"Unseal!"

Li Yunxiao took advantage of his success, advancing and shouting. The Azure Moon Treasure Blade emitted a deep rumble, like a sleeping lion waking up. A massive force spread around the blade, the light like water, the cold air piercing the sky, as he slashed down at Hui Ming!

All his moves, from the sudden attack to the Phantom Step, to the Demon Wind Kick, and the unsealing of the blade, were executed smoothly, like flowing water, without a single pause.

In his previous life as a peak Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor, Li Yunxiao had a good understanding of various techniques and could integrate and apply them. Lower-level techniques were at his fingertips, ready to use at will!

He was also very clear that, facing Hui Ming, who was far stronger, he could only rely on his combat experience and rich techniques to catch the opponent off guard. Otherwise, with the strength gap, the opponent could easily overpower him. But his consecutive surprises had already left Hui Ming stunned!

Long Hao, on the side, was completely stunned, realizing the vast gap in strength. He was already drenched in cold sweat. What he couldn't understand was why the blade he couldn't unseal was easily unsealed by the other party and seemed even more powerful!

"Unseal!"

Hui Ming, caught off guard, was filled with anger and killing intent. A small Two-Star Warrior had forced him into a corner. He roared and shouted, "Unseal!" The ancient bronze sword in his hand suddenly glowed, slicing through the air.

Just as his mystic weapon unsealed, Li Yunxiao's blade slashed down.

"Clang!"

The two weapons collided violently. The sword, just unsealed, was somehow forced back to its ordinary state.

But Li Yunxiao's blade remained radiant, and he raised it to slash down again!

Danger!

Hui Guang, on the horse, changed his expression. As an observer, he immediately realized the situation was wrong!

Although he didn't understand why Hui Ming, with such a significant power gap, was being pressed, the power of that blade seemed to contain an extremely strong technique. He couldn't care about his status and face anymore and quickly stepped on the saddle, his sword shaking as he lunged at Li Yunxiao!

"Zzz!" The sword pierced through, and Li Yunxiao's figure began to distort, dissipating into light.

"Afterimage? When did he...?" Hui Guang was startled, but Hui Ming's crisis was over, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Idiot, I was just luring you down. Let's die together!" Li Yunxiao's voice suddenly rang out, his aura surging to its peak. He seemed like a god of death, the Azure Moon Treasure Blade glowing, drawing all the surrounding essence energy, "Moon Breaker Slash!"
