The Sword of the Dynasty Before the Dynasty Before the Dynasty
"Whoosh!"
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out in the sky above Soul Return Town.
Liu Ruyan rode a flying sword, carrying a sack in one arm, as she sped away.
However, just as she was preparing to find a secluded rooftop to inventory her spoils...
A sudden sense of oppression came from behind!
Liu Ruyan suddenly turned around.
Below, amidst the undulating green tiles and blue bricks, a figure dressed in a flying fish robe was chasing after her.
Liu Ruyan saw clearly the constable uniform the other person was wearing and didn't take this NPC seriously at all.
She scoffed dismissively, looking down at him with a mocking tone.
"Hey! Where did this Imperial Guard come from?"
"A mere lackey from Soul Return Town dares to meddle in the affairs of this Sword Emperor?"
She tossed her hair and arrogantly beckoned downwards with her finger.
"What? You want to capture this Sword Emperor and take him back to boost your performance metrics?"
Stop dreaming! Maybe in your next life!
Having said that, Liu Ruyan swiftly formed a sword incantation with both hands and shouted sharply, "Go!"
In an instant, countless Sword Qi roared out, descending upon Jiangnan below!
This barrier of Sword Qi is powerful enough to shred a building into dust.
Any expert of the same level would have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.
However, Jiangnan on the rooftop didn't even make a gesture of hiding.
He simply raised his right hand casually and snapped his fingers in mid-air.
"Snap."
"A moment... is eternity!"
The wind stopped.
The clouds have settled.
The howling rain of swords seemed to freeze in mid-air.
In this gray and white world where everything is absolutely still.
Only Jiangnan strolled leisurely, stepping on those solidified Sword Qi that were still in mid-air.
As if climbing stairs, he walked step by step to Liu Ruyan was completely frozen in mid-air.
He didn't even glance at her terrified face, and directly reached out and snatched the purse from her arms.
Then, he grabbed Liu Ruyan by the back of her neck with his right hand.
"Snap."
The snap of fingers was made again.
Time resumes its flow.
"Aaaaaah!"
Just a second ago, Liu Ruyan was showing off in the sky, but then she saw a blur and let out a scream.
He was slammed onto the bluestone slab on the ground, and was thrown around in a daze.
Before she could even get up, a foot had already stepped on her fallen flying sword.
"You... what kind of monster are you?!"
Liu Ruyan clutched her aching shoulder, looking at the expressionless Imperial Guards, a sense of crisis welling up inside her.
The person in front of me...
Is it really a human-machine interface?
But even if it were True Person, so what!
She still has a trump card!
"Don't think you can take me for granted! You lowly lackey, feel the Wrath of the gods!"
Liu Ruyan bit her tongue, activating the Lotus Mark the Dragon God had left on her forehead during the trial space!
Boom!
The dragon's might at the [Dragon King Rank] level erupted from Liu Ruyan's body, crushing towards Jiangnan!
Liu Ruyan laughed arrogantly, "Hahahaha! Are you scared now! This is the power left behind by the gods!"
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds passed.
A gentle breeze swept across the empty street.
Jiangnan, standing before her, was not overwhelmed by the terrifying dragon's might.
Even the hem of that flying fish robe didn't move an inch.
Jiangnan looked at her as if she were an idiot.
"Ah?"
Liu Ruyan's laughter stopped abruptly.
She glanced at the unscathed Jiangnan.
"Why isn't it working?! This is the Dragon God's trump card!"
Liu Ruyan's mental defenses collapsed instantly, and she screamed hysterically in her heart.
"It's fake! It's absolutely fake! That damn white-haired man!"
He deliberately tricked me and gave me a counterfeit product!!!
However, just as Liu Ruyan fell into self-doubt...
A sudden change has occurred!
The Lotus Mark on her forehead seemed to suddenly sense a familiar scent.
The originally ferocious dragon's might instantly became incredibly docile, transforming into a single thread!
It connects to the very soul of Jiangnan!
This is like using the imperial sword of the previous dynasty to behead the founding emperor of the current dynasty.
And most importantly...
The two emperors were the same person!
The mark immediately betrayed them and completed automatic Bluetooth pairing!
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow slightly.
He immediately sensed that a subtle, almost imperceptible, soul contract had been established between him and the female thief before him.
Although he couldn't quite figure out what strange tool the woman had just used.
But he discovered that he could command the other party!
Even if you tell the other person to die, their body will obey without hesitation.
The duration of this mandatory command was exactly one day.
Jiangnan glanced down at the money pouch in his hand, then at the time on his wristwatch.
There are less than fifteen minutes left until the [Groom Selection Contest] at noon.
How could someone going to a place like Central Forest Garden not even have a servant to serve tea and water, just to put on a show?
A mischievous glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes.
He carefully considered it for two seconds and decided to make the best use of it.
Punish this servile female thief.
"Since you enjoy stealing so much..."
"He also likes to call people 'dogs and lackeys'..."
"Then I'll punish you by making you my personal slave for one day."
"Now... kneel down."
You're dreaming!
"Even if I, Liu Ruyan, die, even if I jump off this cliff, I will never serve as a lackey like you..."
Liu Ruyan roared angrily, about to draw her sword and commit suicide to prove her innocence.
But before she could finish speaking, her legs went out of control!
Under the absolute Suppression of the soul contract, her body betrayed her will.
"Thump!"
The mighty Sword Emperor's knees buckled, and he obediently knelt at Jiangnan's feet!
She even moved her body forward half a step.
Like a pet trying to please its owner, it rubbed against the leg of the Jiangnan flying fish robe with a fawning expression.
"No... don't..."
"What's wrong with my body..."
Liu Ruyan's cheeks flushed bright red instantly.
She tried desperately to stand up, but her body remained in a humiliating kneeling position.
Two streams of tears of shame and humiliation flowed uncontrollably from her large eyes.
Then, her lips parted slightly, and she uncontrollably uttered the word.
"Master... Master..."
After uttering those two words, Liu Ruyan completely broke down!
She raised her beautiful face, filled with shame and indignation, and let out a mournful cry towards Jiangnan.
"That damned guy!"
"You perverted bastard! Kill me!!!"
"You definitely want me to do those disgusting things for you next, right?"
"I knew it!"
"Rather than be defiled by you, just kill me!!!"
Jiangnan remained unmoved, gazing at the filthy female thief before him.
His [Dragon Spear] was no good.
They simply dragged her away, picked up the sack, and took her back to confess!
