Chapter 636: Chapter 55 Ascending, Magnate, Swordsman, Legend_2

There was a youth, his eyebrows sharp and rebellious, about twenty-something years old, dressed in splendid clothes, holding a dark-patterned war bow with arrows notched, pointing at Li Guanyi, in great anger: "Li Guanyi!!!"

"You dare to break into the Forbidden Palace of Daying? How audacious!"

"You deserve nothing less than a thousand deaths for your crimes, guards, take the crossbows and shoot him to death!"

"Shoot him!"

The armored soldiers all held crossbows, their fierce blades pointing toward Li Guanyi; the deadly aura surged skyward. Yet, a voice of an old man hurried through, "Assistants, Prince Jiang Guang, hold your fire, Li Guanyi is our own Marquis Qin Wu from Central State, appointed by imperial edict."

"Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding between us; let’s not resort to violence and calmly sort this out."

The elder with neatly combed white hair, was none other than the generous predecessor from the Ji family, carrying a sword box and rushing over. Li Guanyi, lifting his eyes, suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you, old predecessor. However, I did not bring the Seal today. The person here is just Li Guanyi, not the Marquis Qin Wu."

Li Guanyi looked up at the tower, suddenly reminiscing.

A whole year had passed.

The young man thought back, last year he had left Jiangzhou City, heading north, fighting his way through battles, and it was March when he arrived in Jiangnan. Now, another year had come, and today was the same day as the Great Sacrifice a decade ago.

On that day, his mother and father had fallen during the Great Sacrifice in Chen Country.

His mother had borne the brunt of the deadly poison for him and passed on the Dharma Form to him.

Then she could not withstand a second dose of the deadly poison and died in that place.

Fei’s blood poison...

The orphan placed his hand over his heart.

He had come here, where the feuds of his ancestors lay, and up ahead was the emperor who loomed over the world; Li Guanyi knew he could not kill that life-long warrior emperor, but he had to tell that person—

The son of Li Wanli had arrived.

Their son still carried the flame of revenge.

Li Guanyi strode forward; Jiang Yuan had not expected that facing such a formation, he would actually dare to continue advancing.

"Li Guanyi."

"Halt!!!"

A flash of viciousness crossed Jiang Yuan’s eyes as he released the bowstring. Then hundreds of armored soldiers simultaneously shot a rain of arrows. Ji Yanzhong, with great anger, made a move; a red Soaring Dragon ascended, but it was ultimately too far to completely prevent the attack.

Crossbow arrows fell narrowly missing piercing Li Guanyi. In the young man’s hands, a light flickered as if thunder rumbled, and he struck fiercely, splitting the incoming crossbow arrows. With a turn of his palm, a dark golden light spread out.

The Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd appeared in his hands, spinning, repelling arrows and crossbow bolts, slashing them away to one side. The volley of shots was ultimately intercepted by the armorless youth.

The Qilin was not there.

Li Guanyi breathed intensely, exhaling slowly. Weapons resonated with howls; fallen arrows were scattered around, and his Inner Qi rushed through his body with high velocity, the weapons in front of him howling like a deeply roaring tiger.

Suddenly, the dark golden aura of a Divine Weapon began to move around the youth.

A blue robe billowed around him, stirred by Jin Qi.

On Li Guanyi, an armor, purely constructed of Inner Qi, appeared and vanished again.

It transformed into the pure force of a Divine Weapon.

Then he continued to walk forward, and suddenly someone ran out from a high tower; an elderly eunuch glanced over and said solemnly, "The Emperor commands that no one is to shoot him with arrows or crossbows."

"No further troops may be mobilized."

Jiang Yuan was taken aback, turned around, and asked in haste, "What?! "

"Father Emperor, this is such a good opportunity, Li Guanyi is right here, without any soldiers or famous generals. If we use all our troops, we can kill him on the spot. How could you issue such an order?!"

The eunuch did not respond to the now furious Prince Jiang Guang, but simply looked at Li Guanyi and bowed, saying,

"Marquis Qin Wu. "

"The Emperor is waiting for you at the highest point of Star-picking Tower, and he says—"

The eunuch went silent, then solemnly repeated Emperor Ying’s words, "If you have such valor, get past these armored soldiers and come forth!"

"I am here, waiting for you to come over!"

Li Guanyi’s gaze scanned ahead, facing the formidable enemies. The soldiers of the Ying Country had to give up their most powerful formation of crossbows, but at the emperor’s command, three hundred armored soldiers did not hesitate a bit.

They threw down their crossbows and bows.

Then they placed their right hands on the hilts of their swords, drawing swords and raising spears.

In the rear, Ying Country’s imperial guards who had been called over carried axes and maces, and the leading officer, burly and bold-faced with eyes like a tiger’s, all halted in unison, simply watching Li Guanyi, not advancing further.

This was the essence of obeying orders without question.

This was feverish loyalty to the emperor.

Li Guanyi, holding the Battle Halberd, advanced, the armored soldiers ahead shouting angrily and slashing down towards the young man. Li Guanyi’s eyes were calm, his Inner Qi surging with the beating of his heart, his back erect. The heavy sound of slicing the air ensued.

A long knife struck down, landing on Li Guanyi’s arm.

But this time the blade could not slash through; Inner Qi circulated, transforming into armor.

Upon the Imperial Path, the youth wielded the Battle Halberd.

He advanced, donning armor!

Dragon roars and tiger howls, a phoenix cries, and a Qilin calls.

Jiang Yuan watched in bewilderment as the youth’s aura boiled and surged like a rapid current, rising as if a tiger, long in wait, finally roared through the mountains, and a dragon soared above the Nine Heavens.

Here the kings meet, and wild beasts change.

Third Layer Heaven!

Li Guanyi reached the front of Star-picking Tower, and the white-haired, elderly eunuch watched the mighty young man bow in respect. Then the eunuch turned to the imperial guards and announced, "The Emperor commands that all shadow guards and imperial guards are not permitted to enter."
