Chapter 393: Chapter 167: Qilin, Move!_3

"This is used to store some precious items that are rarely needed, such as the numerous ceremonial weapons and ritual objects used during the Great Sacrifice; they’re all stored in this place!"

"Could it be, Yue Pengwu is here too?"

Yan Xuanji’s heart stirred, and holding his mystical weapon, he charged in. However, Li Guanyi felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he thought of Tantai Xianming’s military tactics. Sure enough, as soon as the two rushed in, there were rockets and thunderous explosions heading their way. Yan Xuanji swept aside the flames and thunder with his mystical weapon.

A Great General clad in Golden Armor and wielding a Floral Battle Axe, with his eyebrows raised proudly, said:

"By order of Prime Minister Tantai, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Yan Xuanji’s killing intent surged: "Gu Daohui?!"

Li Guanyi suddenly remembered the name.

He had seen it in the archives.

Gu Daohui, one of the twenty-four generals, had reported the rebellion of three others to the Court beforehand, led troops to surround and kill them, personally beheading Zhuge Qingyun and the two others, presenting their heads to Emperor Chen Dingye. He was the Jinwu Guard General, a second-rank military officer, and was conferred the title of Marquis Wei Wu.

Gu Daohui watched Yan Xuanji, who was clad in monk’s attire that was stained with blood; although dressed as a monk, he still held a mystical iron staff in his hand, exuding an aura of killing. He fell silent for a moment, then said, "Yan Xuanji..."

Yan Xuanji, filled with great anger, said: "Gu Daohui, Mr. Zhuge and the others, they’ve saved your life numerous times."

"And yet you betrayed them!"

He seemed furious, but discreetly positioned Li Guanyi behind him, ready with his weapon.

Li Guanyi looked at the Great General in the armor of the Jinwu Guard General, Gu Daohui’s eyes deep, and said: "I am loyal to my monarch and love my country. They betrayed their homeland, am I supposed to wallow in filth alongside them?! Yan Xuanji, you are too naive!"

Yan Xuanji said, "Didn’t we swear together that we would restore the world to peace? Have you forgotten?!"

Gu Daohui sneered, "What’s that?"

"I’ve long forgotten!"

"Enough talk, release the arrows!"

Break Armor and Qi Arrows tore through the air, falling towards them. Yan Xuanji sent a telepathic command to run, grabbed Li Guanyi by the collar, and threw him to one side. Then, wielding his mystical weapon, he deflected the rain of thousands of arrows. Gu Daohui, watching Yan Xuanji, murmured softly, "How absurd."

"In these troubled times, people are always pushed to opposite sides."

"Where’s the justice in that?"

"Then let us fight to the death!"

Leaping up, he swung his mystical weapon, striking down fiercely. The magnificent wave of energy tore the ground apart. Yan Xuanji, with both hands on his mystical weapon, collided violently with Gu Daohui’s battle axe as the two former comrades-in-arms battled each other fiercely.

Li Guanyi landed at a distance. Clasping the Frost Battle Halberd, he saw weapons clashing before him. In the sky, the Red Dragon was clearly at a disadvantage. Everyone fought desperately as his heart pounded fiercely. Clenching his teeth, he seized the Frost Battle Halberd, casting aside all innate weakness.

He strode towards the direction of the Golden Winged Great Peng, circling around.

There was another place.

According to the orientation of the Formation, there was another Life Gate that led to the Underground Palace.

Yan Xuanji couldn’t hold back everyone; some of the imperial guard circled around the distracted Gu Daohui and pursued Li Guanyi. Li Guanyi burst towards the direction of that Life Gate, faced the armored imperial guard, and holding his battle halberd in one hand, and his waist card in the other, he shouted:

"I am the Emperor’s fifth-ranked founding Qin Wu County Knight!"

"There are a group of traitors, who belong to Yue Qianfeng’s faction!"

"They took our imperial guard’s weapons following the route of Chen Yuyun, and then silenced Chen Yuyun."

"Now they even dare to hunt me down, gentlemen, follow me in battle!"

He immediately turned around, with his Frost Battle Halberd pointing towards the group ahead, bellowing:

"Our men are all here, you brazen madmen, still daring to come up?!"

"Fire the arrows! Shoot them dead!"

The imperial guards on both sides were filled with rage, and then they engaged each other in battle. When the fighting dulled their blades, they suddenly realized that the people opposite were their own. Meanwhile, the young man had already run to a faraway place at some point.

The pursuers had caught up; members of the Imperial Guard were closing in from all sides.

Li Guanyi couldn’t control himself and had to engage them in battle. He swung his Frost Battle Halberd fiercely. With his physique, clad in heavy armor, he was equivalent to a General of the Third Layer Heaven in foot combat, sending one Imperial Guard after another flying away. But Li Guanyi also realized the difference between the battlefield and the Martial World.

Cold blades and arrows were almost incessant, and he sustained injuries.

One injury signified a sequence of continuous attacks.

Having an imposing physique didn’t mean being invulnerable to weapons.

Li Guanyi broke through the blockade of over thirty men, heading for the only Life Gate.

A Colonel behind him shouted, "Imperial Guards of the Qilin Palace!"

"This man is a traitor, capture him!"

Unexpectedly, the Life Gate was the Qilin Palace.

Clutching his weapon, Li Guanyi was prepared to fight to the death as he charged in, but what he saw was utter chaos—the Imperial Guards had all collapsed to the ground, and nearby were Turkic alcohol jars. It seemed as though someone had delivered strong liquor, causing all the Imperial Guards to be knocked down.

What was supposed to be an encirclement became Li Guanyi’s opportunity.

Li Guanyi grinned, guessing who was behind this.

Breaking Army!

It was indeed you!

With pursuers behind him and a dead end ahead, the youth raised his head to the sky; Yue Qianfeng was already bathed in blood, while the Red Dragon still roared fiercely. Former comrades were slaughtering each other, and his blood surged, pumping vigorously as Li Guanyi clasped the sword of the Jinwu Guard.

The Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation spread out in his perception.

Members of the imperial guard and Colonels were getting up, all charging at Li Guanyi. Time seemed to slow, the young man stood with firm steps, wielding the sword as if making a final decision. His sword’s blade suddenly stabbed into the ground, hitting a node of the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation.

Li Guanyi’s heart was pounding intensely.

Tantai Xianming, Yue Pengwu.

Elder Xue, Ying Country, Emperor Chen Dingye, Yue Qianfeng, Yan Xuanji, Gu Daohui.

One by one, they charged here, as if becoming part of the Formation itself. Li Guanyi’s strength was far inferior to theirs, but he suddenly understood his own nature, his gaze calm as he directly unraveled the entire Formation.

The young man held his sword, and with a sudden twist,

a wave of aftermath swept through the entire Imperial Palace!

If that’s the case, let’s cause a big commotion.

The aftermath of the Four Symbols Sealing Spirit Formation suddenly spread out, sweeping over the charging Imperial Guards and sending them flying. The young man, at the very center of the Formation’s aftermath, had blood dripping constantly from the corners of his mouth, holding the sword as if he couldn’t control the overwhelming power, trembling violently.

Tantai Xianming’s strategy was perfect, everything was perfect.

But Breaking Army had once said that chain plans are the most prone to problems.

There was no time to lose.

The power to change everything, to turn the tide, the final move.

It was at this moment.

The young man closed his eyes and whispered in his heart:

"Qilin!"

In the Qilin Palace, within the cold and dark Imperial Palace, a pair of fiery golden eyes suddenly lit up, and in the next instant, fierce flames burned, engulfing the young man, sending all the Imperial Guards flying in a moment. The scorching fire soared, and the roaring of the Exotic Beast reverberated again, transforming into the auspicious creature of legend.

Guarding next to the sword-wielding youth who had penetrated the Great Formation, the flames reached to the sky.

The Qilin—

joined the battle!
