At the sight, Lei Wu and the Imperial Guards felt their blood surge.
They were elites of the Southern Commandery Investigation Department, Imperial Guards of the mortal transformation realm who had spent years fighting criminals, rebels, and others.
Every one of them was battle-hardened.
They were not men who feared trouble.
Seeing their leader Su Fei fight so fiercely boosted their morale even further. They drew their Spring Embroidered Sabers and followed him into the crowd of Japanese pirates.
Clang!
An Imperial Guard's Spring Embroidered Saber collided with a Japanese pirate's sword, sending sparks flying.
