Chapter 265: Chapter 125: The Azure Dragon Seven Stars, Appear!

As soon as the Imperial Guards stepped forward, the guards of the Ghost Market, who had a murderous look in their eyes upon seeing Li Guanyi draw his sword, now unmistakably showed a hint of dread. The three words "Imperial Guard" signified what was both aristocratic and formidable.

Suddenly, laughter was heard.

"Everyone stop, stop, put your swords away."

"The military officer is truly imposing."

A man in his thirties, dressed in the long gown of a scholar, came forward, a smile on his face. He pushed through the guards who had drawn their weapons, and with many steps still between them, he clasped his hands in greeting and said, "I’m here to apologize, to apologize. Is it that the tribute from our side wasn’t sufficient?"

"It’s impolite, truly impolite."

He took out a large pouch and handed it to Li Guanyi, lowering his voice as he did so, and kicked the body of a person lying next to him, speaking adeptly, "This fool who couldn’t see clearly has offended the military officer, he deserves to die, take this gold as compensation for sullying the military officer’s eyes today."

"I know you are kind-hearted, you can take all these people with you."

"Come on, why aren’t you hurrying to unlock these people’s chains!" He shouted loudly, beaming at Li Guanyi, whose sword seemed to be cleaving through air. He looked at the man before him and the latter said, "I understand the rules, today you take these people with you, and the gold is yours."

"But don’t come back another day, lest you sully your eyes."

The man said, "Otherwise, beneath the feet of the Capital City, where would we dare to offend the Imperial Guard? After all, you are a noble son, and saving so many people, earning a reputation for chivalry should be enough. If you keep on holding onto it..."

A gentle smile emerged on his face, making Li Guanyi feel disgusted and slimy.

"You won’t go far into the countryside, right, unaware of the people’s lives there? If you continue to persist, then for every one person you save today, I will ’buy’ two more tomorrow. You kill one of mine, I slaughter one of their families. This world is bustling, just like a banquet, and the commoners are the dishes on the table."

"Inexhaustible supply, endless use."

"You come, we’ll prepare a pair of chopsticks for you."

"If you don’t wish to partake, you may leave."

"But do not overstep, otherwise, for every person you save, an entire family will suffer. Wouldn’t you say? It’s just how the world is, there’s nothing we can do..."

The young martial artist held his sword and said, "Guess why I mentioned ’Imperial Guard’?"

The man was startled, then the money-crazed young martial artist slapped the gold away. In the next moment, the sword came chopping down, accompanied by the young man’s furious shout:

"Threatening the ’Emperor’s Imperial Guard,’ showing disrespect to His Majesty!"

"What audacity!"

!!!

The man was a mixture of shock and rage.

"You!!!"

He had never seen someone who disregarded the ’rules’ like this. He had honed his Eye Acupoint, his gaze sharp. Li Guanyi’s [One Sword] was fast, but he could see it. Extending his right hand, two fingers reached out along the path of the blade to pinch the edge, and he indeed pinched it.

But he did not secure his grip.

The force on the sword was not something that a Martial Artist of the second level could possess, powerful and majestic, like rolling boulders and surging waves from a mountain’s fall. In an instant, half of his palm was sliced off.

The young man kicked him squarely in the chest.

The man fell, crying out, "Killing me is pointless, the world is like this!"

Li Guanyi’s sword came chopping down.

One Sword pierced his throat, and bright red blood spurted, the young man said softly:

"Then I shall, see one, kill one!"

"One for one."

"I will show no mercy."

He lifted his sword, looking ahead. Li Guanyi knew, today things had to be escalated.

The bigger the commotion, the safer he would be, and that way, the issues here could be better resolved.

Siming rushed out, following Li Guanyi’s instructions, to find Ye Buyi and the elders of Zhou Liuying. When he turned his head back, he saw behind the young man the White Tiger with its head held high and the Red Dragon circling; the magnificence of the Dragon and Tiger was as before, even appearing more domineering and prominent than in times gone by.

Dharma Forms such as the Dragon and Tiger, once embraced by a person, their inherent awe and spirit are related to their bearers; a timid person, a person who bides his time, would hardly win the attention of the White Tiger, a god of slaughter in the heavens; the Azure Dragon might lie dormant, but the Red Dragon is different.

But why, the Red Dragon?

Thereupon, the crowd around him grew furious in unison. Someone shouted "Kill!" and they all pounced toward Li Guanyi. Marquis Bu Ye leaned against a window, watching the young man as the crowd, mostly of the first realm with leaders as second-level Martial Artists, should have overwhelmed and killed the man without armor, but his expression became solemn. He saw the young man just standing there, snatching a blade with a backhanded grip and cutting down with both sword and knife together, like a frenzied killing deity, slaughtering all around him.

With one slash, blood surged, and Li Guanyi stomped within a square radius.

The Qi Mechanism suddenly spread out.

The White Tiger in the sky, his body in Jiangnan.

The Vermilion Bird to the south, the Black Tortoise to the north, the Four Symbols circulating with the Qilin located in the center.

The Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation began, it was merely a simple application, but the attackers found their movements slightly shifted, and upon making just a small mistake, they collided into each other. On the other side, the young man wielded his blade fiercely, cutting them down to the ground.

Blood was everywhere, the air filled with the stench of slaughter.

Li Guanyi suddenly realized, against a large number of opponents with weaker Primordial Spirits than his own, the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation could be terrifyingly effective. This so-called number one strange formation of the age finally showed its fangs in this moment.

Marquis Bu Ye watched the young man’s slaughter, and quickly more than a dozen people had fallen, drenched in blood and wailing. The crowd around began to fear, as only a very few are truly fearless in the face of death. Even the most elite troops, seeing such a monster, would be terrified, and their morale would crumble.
