Chapter 88

"Bang!"

Jia Rong, under Li Yunxiao's stunned gaze, fell to the ground and got up with a grim face, wailing, "Young Master Yun, this is a rumor, absolutely a rumor!" He was furious and pointed at Zhong Tai, shouting, "I know Jia Rong, when did he ever have a disciple like you?"

Zhong Tai was taken aback, "Although Master Jia didn't personally take me as a disciple, I am a close friend of his disciple Shi Yuan. We often discuss the art of alchemy, so I can be considered Master Jia's half-disciple." He looked at the four people suspiciously, "You guys know Master Jia Rong?"

Wu Guang, who had already lost his patience, said, "Zhong Tai, why are you talking to these country bumpkins?" He pointed at Li Yunxiao, "How much to transfer this ancient leaf and this girl? Hurry up and say it."

Li Yunxiao's eyes narrowed, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "Cheap, just your two heads will do."

"What? How dare you!" Wu Guang was furious, "Do you really know who I am?"

Li Yunxiao coldly said, "Slap him, and that 'master' too!"

"Slap!"

Jia Rong was the first to jump out, slapping Wu Guang to the ground. Then he rushed towards Zhong Tai and started beating him up. He was already a warrior, and beating up Zhong Tai was more than enough. He was deeply angry, as using his name to deceive others was one thing, but to provoke Young Master Yun was another. This greatly reduced his favor in Yun's eyes, making him furious.

Meng Wu and his sister also beat Wu Guang relentlessly. Both were warriors, and after practicing the Killing Qi Technique, they exuded a fierce aura that made people shudder.

The innkeeper was stunned and quickly ran over, crying, "Gentlemen, please don't fight! Please, don't fight anymore!"

The son of the city lord and Master Zhong Tai being beaten in his inn was a huge responsibility! If these four were caught and taken to prison, it would be better. But if they ran away after the beating, he would be completely ruined. So, the pain in his heart was as great as the beating on their bodies.

"Alright, stop, or they'll die." Li Yunxiao saw that it was enough and called a halt.

The three still beat for a while, spitting a few more times, before they left with Li Yunxiao, feeling relieved.

"Master Wu Guang, Master Wu Guang, are you alright?" The innkeeper was terrified and quickly helped them up, only to see two pig heads, both swollen beyond recognition. He cried in horror, "Which one of you is Master Wu Guang?"

The pig head on the left pointed to himself, speaking in a hoarse voice, "I, I am." He struggled to take out a signal flare from his chest and handed it to the innkeeper, "Hurry, send the signal! I, I, I will kill them!"

The innkeeper trembled, took the signal flare, and ran outside, pulling it open. A burst of fireworks shot into the sky, looking very beautiful. But the innkeeper had no time to enjoy the fireworks; he only hoped that the people from the city lord's residence would come quickly. As long as Li Yunxiao and the others were caught, he would be fine.

Li Yunxiao suddenly stopped, looking at the fireworks in the sky. Jia Rong also frowned, "It seems to be from the herbal shop, trouble is coming."

"Trouble?" Li Yunxiao smiled. He wasn't the type to seek trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either.

Sure enough, before they left the city, a large number of troops surrounded them from all sides. Wu Guang and Zhong Tai were also quick, wrapping their pig heads tightly with bandages, leaving only their eyes exposed.

The leader was a middle-aged general, with a piercing gaze and a commanding presence. He looked down at the four and said coldly, "Where do you four brats come from? Where are your parents?"

He saw that they were all around fifteen years old, with Jia Rong being the oldest at over twenty. So, he addressed Jia Rong. As the commander of the city guard for many years, Ban Bingbai had a keen eye. These four, though well-dressed, were not impressive enough to catch his attention. The most critical point was that all four were warriors, and one of them was even a peak Eighth Rank Warrior.

A peak Eighth Rank Warrior at fifteen meant a lot. At least these young men had a significant background. So, he didn't rashly order their arrest.

Jia Rong was taken aback, a black line appearing on his forehead, and he said coldly, "Get lost!"

Wu Guang was furious, "Commander Ban, why are you wasting time with them? Arrest them all and beat them to death! Send the girl to my room, I'll make her wish she was dead!"

Ban Bingbai's head spun. Encountering such a spoiled young master, he really wanted to slap him! He didn't even know to hold back in front of so many people. But as the city guard, he had no choice. He said to Jia Rong with a stern face, "Do you know what crime you've committed? If you don't call your parents, the consequences will be severe!"

Jia Rong sneered, "If you don't let us go, the consequences will be even more severe!"

Ban Bingbai knew further words were futile and waved his hand. Instantly, a row of soldiers drew their weapons and surrounded them.

"Hold on!" Li Yunxiao suddenly called out, "Are you bullying us because we are few?"

Wu Guang, with his pig head, shouted, "Yes, we are bullying you because you are few. What are you going to do about it? Not convinced? I'll beat you until you are!"

Li Yunxiao nodded slightly. Among these guards, there were also experts at the First Yuan Realm, and the commander on the horse was even a Great Warrior. He himself was not afraid, but Meng Wu and the others would be in trouble. He said calmly, "You want us to call our parents, right? Give us five minutes."

Ban Bingbai waved his hand, and the guards stopped, standing at attention, clearly well-trained.

Li Yunxiao took out a sleeve arrow from his chest and shot it into the sky. It exploded into eight small arrows, releasing intense smoke and fire, flying in all directions.

"Sky-Piercing Arrow!"

Ban Bingbai was shocked, his eyes almost popping out. Cold sweat started to seep from his forehead as he looked at the four with shock. He had been in the army and knew the origin of the Sky-Piercing Arrow. It was the highest-level summoning signal of the military, made of fine steel, containing a substance called Flame Cloud Scale Powder, which could explode into intense smoke and light, and the eight small arrows inside would fly in all directions. It could accurately locate in any environment.

Wu Guang, though he didn't recognize the Sky-Piercing Arrow, was also stunned. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with joy, "Commander Ban, kill them, I want that sleeve arrow! This thing is much better than my signal fireworks!"

Ban Bingbai almost fell off his horse, his face turning green. Damn, that's the military's strongest Sky-Piercing Arrow, and yours is fireworks. How can they be compared? Idiot! This is a big trouble now!

He immediately realized that Li Yunxiao and the others were not simple. He quickly whispered to a guard, who then ran quickly to the city lord's residence.

Suddenly, a huge commotion came from the city gate, and the ground trembled.

"Run, run quickly!"

"Who are you? How dare you enter Puyang City without permission!"

"Run, the army is attacking the city!"

"Quick, notify the city lord, notify Commander Ban!"

The commotion from afar shocked everyone. Ban Bingbai saw the calm faces of Li Yunxiao and the others, and even a slight smile on their lips, and instantly understood. His heart sank into the abyss! This was really a disaster, Wu Guang's years of mischief in Puyang City had finally met its match!

In a short while, over two thousand student soldiers, exuding intense killing aura, surrounded all the Puyang City guards, leaving no room for escape.

"Who are you?" Wu Guang was also panicked, seemingly understanding the situation. He pushed Ban Bingbai, afraid, "Commander Ban, what should we do?"

Ban Bingbai swallowed hard, his body drenched in cold sweat. When these people surrounded them, the intense killing aura made even him, a Great Warrior, feel a chill. What chilled him even more was the mountain-like pressure that locked the space around him, seeping into his bones, making him dare not move.

He believed that any movement would result in instant death!

A force of over two thousand warriors, including a Martial Lord, oh my God! Who are these four? Could they be a prince? Even a prince wouldn't have such a terrifying force! He felt his body stiffen, only sweat flowing, not daring to move a bit.

Silence, absolute silence! Despite the thousands of people, there was not a single sound, only the cold wind.

Wu Guang, seeing that Ban Bingbai ignored him, was at a loss, his heart in turmoil. He looked around, the killing aura from each warrior making him shudder.

Finally, Li Yunxiao spoke, "Alright, let's start. Wu Pighead, draw the line."

The moment Li Yunxiao spoke, Ban Bingbai felt the pressure around him disappear. But his intuition told him that a divine consciousness was still locking onto him, and any misstep would result in instant death!

Wu Guang, who dared not speak, was already cowering on the horse, not daring to lift his head.

Ban Bingbai could only force himself to stand, jumping off the horse. Without the previous high and mighty air, he said cautiously, "Who are you? This is Puyang City, protected by law. How can you mobilize the army at will?"

"Law?" Meng Bai bulged his eyes and laughed, "When you had more people, you talked about fists. Now that we have more people, you talk about the law?"

Li Yunxiao sneered, "Initially, you wanted to beat us four with hundreds of people. Now, we have two thousand people to beat you hundreds. By ratio, we are still at a disadvantage. Commander Ban, let's start, don't waste time. I'm very busy."
