Late at night.
Thousand-Household Manor.
At this moment, Li Changfeng and the Imperial Brocade-Clad Guard were feasting and drinking in the mansion, celebrating their harvest of the day. In addition to paying all their taxes, they had also received a generous tribute of 50,000 taels of silver.
Li Changfeng secretly took out 10,000 taels of silver and distributed it among the Brocade-Clad Guard. They were overjoyed and became even more devoted to following Li Changfeng, which made them work even harder as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Only when everyone makes money can they be motivated to work hard, which invisibly strengthens their cohesion. This is Li Changfeng's method.
Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared at the outer wall of the mansion. They crept along the wall and, finding no one around, crossed the wall and lay in wait, slowly making their way towards the main hall.
The Brocade-Clad Guard passed by on patrol were all assassinated by them. Their methods were clean and efficient, and they were all top-notch. The leader of the men in black was particularly fast, like a phantom. Wherever he went, someone died. His strength was unfathomable!
They approached within ten meters of the main hall when Li Changfeng suddenly frowned, raised his hand, and signaled all the Brocade-Clad Guard to cease their commotion. Seeing this, Centurion Kang Huai asked softly, "Commander! What has happened?"
Li Changfeng said softly, "It sounds like there are people outside!"
Leng Zhi sniffed the air. "There's a smell of blood outside! Something must have happened!"
Old Li was furious upon hearing this, "Who is it! How dare they attempt an assassination at the Thousand-Household Manor!"
As the group of men in black drew closer, and they were almost at the wall, Li Changfeng suddenly struck, hurling his Meteor Iron Hook Rope with the end of his Meteor Hammer at incredible speed. The rope exploded in the air with a crackling sound as it slammed towards the window.
The attack was instantly spotted by the Black-Clad Leader behind him. His eyes narrowed, and he tried to warn them, but it was too late.
The Meteor Hammer suddenly burst out of the window, smashing the head of one man in black with a single blow. With its remaining force, it smashed the head of another man in black. The Meteor Hammer, still powerful, then smashed towards the head of another man in black.
At this moment, the Black-Clad Leader also reacted and quickly struck out with his palm, directly slapping the Meteor Hammer back towards Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng simply gave a slight shake, violently dissipating the force of the Meteor Hammer, and then stored it directly on his back. He said coldly, "Brothers! Go out and kill the enemy!"
"Kill them!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd roared, grabbed their Embroidered Spring Blade, and charged out to attack the men in black outside. The men in black outside sneered, "Overestimating yourselves!"
The Brocade-Clad Guard who rushed out were instantly killed by several powerful men in black with a single sword stroke. This immediately frightened the group of Brocade-Clad Guard who were about to charge forward, causing them to stop and stare coldly at the men in black.
Then a black-clad man wielding a sword suddenly unleashed a cyan sword aura. The sword aura was sharp and swift, cutting many Brocade-Clad Guard into pieces wherever it passed, leaving blood flowing everywhere, and they died instantly.
The five brothers of the centurion were enraged upon seeing this, shouting, "You villains! Prepare to die!"
The five people subtly formed a sword formation. They simultaneously drew their swords, unleashing five sharp and fierce pale yellow sword energies. The sword energies were sharp and fierce, and they fiercely attacked the black-clad swordsman. Their power was extremely astonishing!
Upon seeing this, the man in black wielding the sword laughed loudly, "Well done!"
After saying that, the black-clad man wielding the sword attacked directly, unleashing his 250 years of Inner Force. Streams of azure true energy condensed in his sword, and with a sweeping motion, he unleashed a fierce and swift azure sword aura. The air exploded wherever it passed, and it fiercely attacked the five people.
"Bang"!!
A loud crash resounded as the black-clad swordsman shattered the combined sword energy of the five men with a single strike. The remaining power surged towards them, and the five men quickly joined forces to defend against the fierce attack.
The five were too weak and were sent flying by the powerful sword energy. They did a backflip in the air and landed slowly on the ground. As soon as they landed, they spat out a mouthful of blood, already injured!
Upon seeing this, Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed. "This is the Azure City Swordplay! You are Yu Yingfan of the Azure City Sect!"
"Hahaha! Wu Tiande! You guessed it!" The black-clad man wielding the sword pulled off his mask and grinned maliciously.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's heart sank. "This guy! His strength has indeed improved a lot in recent years!"
Then Li Changfeng shouted, "You all step back! Let me deal with him!"
Just as Li Changfeng was about to lend a hand, a blurry figure appeared behind him, grinning maliciously. "Wu Tiande! Your opponent is me!" This blurry figure was none other than the Black-Clad Leader.
After saying that, the black-clad leader suddenly slapped Li Changfeng on the back with a powerful and domineering palm strike, which produced a loud bang and was extremely powerful.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng's face darkened. He suddenly exerted force with both feet and leaped into the air to dodge the domineering palm strike. The domineering palm force struck the large tree next to him, smashing it into pieces and turning it into wood chips all over the sky. Its power was extremely domineering!
Then Li Changfeng kicked out seven or eight leg shadows in the air. His leg power was swift, domineering, and indestructible, fiercely heading towards the Black-Clad Leader. His power was extremely fierce and domineering.
Seeing this, the Black-Clad Leader sneered and suddenly unleashed seven or eight palm strikes. The palm strikes were powerful and domineering, and the air exploded wherever they passed, directly blocking Li Changfeng's swift leg attack.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...
A series of violent explosions rang out as Li Changfeng's seven or eight swift and powerful leg shadows collided head-on with the Black-Clad Leader's seven or eight powerful and domineering palm prints, unleashing a fierce burst of air power that exploded in mid-air.
Using the force, Li Changfeng was sent flying. Just as he was about to help the five people, a figure appeared in front of him and suddenly slammed down with both palms. The palm force was fierce and domineering, and the sound of wind breaking was heard wherever it passed. The power was extremely fierce!
Li Changfeng's face darkened, and he gathered his fierce and domineering true energy in his palms. He unleashed both palms simultaneously, his palm force extremely domineering, to meet the fierce palm strike head-on!
"Smack!"
A loud bang was heard as the man in black was directly defeated by Li Changfeng's extremely domineering attack. He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air and slammed into a large tree, smashing the entire tree to pieces. The power was extremely domineering!
"Ah! Brother!!" Yu Liang cried out in anguish as he desperately held onto Commander Kang Huai.
Just now, Commander Kang Huai shielded Commander Yu Liang from this powerful sword strike, which pierced his heart, causing him to die instantly!
Yu Yingfan wiped the blood from his longsword and sneered, "So this is all you Brocade-Clad Guard are made of!"
