The Imperial City Black Guard were somewhat similar to the Brocade Guard; they were directly under the emperor and only obeyed his orders.
It is a sharp, swift knife in the emperor's hand.
If an official is one rank higher than another, and there is any crime committed, the official's rank and evidence can be disregarded, and the execution can be carried out first and reported later; such power is immense.
The fact that the emperor directly dispatched the Black Guard shows how important this matter was.
The Simulation barrage continued, and Ling Yi was quite curious about how long he could survive in the Simulation this time.
The newcomer identified himself as Guo Hong, the commander of the Black Guard's Thousand Guards. After showing you the imperial edict, he led you directly out of the prison.
[You can Perception this person's Aura; they should be a Sixth Pin Qi Condensation Realm Martial Practitioner. Besides their powerful Aura, they also possess a cold and sinister Aura. You estimate this is due to some kind of cultivation technique they've practiced.]
[After being released from prison, you were taken to a very large carriage, furnished with bedding, cushions, a tea table, chairs, and even a toilet and bathing area—it was like an ancient version of a motorhome.]
[You know very well that this trip to the capital will likely not go smoothly. The other princes will absolutely not allow you to enter the capital without permission, including the Third Prince Liu Zheng, since you are a fake Third Prince.]
Even though Liu Zheng hasn't returned to the capital for ten years and rarely leaves his residence, making him difficult for others to see, he might fool ordinary people. However, once he enters the capital, your identity as a fake prince will inevitably be exposed.
[If you die on the way, then the Third Prince will truly be "dead." Therefore, Liu Zheng will never let you enter the imperial city. If you want to live, you can only continuously increase your strength.]
[For the next Half Moon, you began cultivating by consuming Divine Martial Pill. You initially thought that with only 200 Divine Martial Pill available, it wouldn't be enough, but the effects of the Divine Martial Pill Big Superman your expectations.]
[ Qi and Blood Pill and Divine Blood Pill only replenish Qi and Blood, but Divine Martial Pill contain immense Spiritual Power, and one Divine Martial Pill is enough for three days of cultivation.]
[On August 25th, 1208 of the Great Qian Calendar, escorted by hundreds of Black Guard, you left Sanhe County and headed north along the official road, oblivious to everything around you, focusing solely on your cultivation.]
This marks the final departure from Sanhe County and the start of a new Map!
Although it was just Simulation experience, Ling Yi was still very excited watching the comments section.
[Five days later, with the help of the Divine Martial Pill, you successfully Entry the Qi Condensation Realm, becoming Sixth Pin Martial Practitioner. Your cultivation has broken through, and you're in high spirits. You don't plan to continue cultivating today; you'll rest for the day.]
[During the midday break, you jump down from the carriage and find Guo Hong, wanting to inquire about the situation in the capital, but Guo Hong seems hesitant and doesn't say a word.]
[So you changed the subject, asking about Martial Practitioner. Guo Hong didn't hide anything from you; after all, he's Imperial Black Guard, and his knowledge far surpasses that of the NPCs in the prison, greatly broadening your horizons.]
[At that moment, your and Guo Hong's expressions changed slightly at the same time. The enemy had arrived, few in number, only three. The three appeared abruptly before all the Black Guard like three Ying Yi.]
[Two are Pinnacle Sixth Pin Martial Practitioner. You can't Perception the cultivation level of the third, but he's the one who feels the most dangerous among the three; he's probably Seventh Pin Lesser Master.]
[Without any preamble, the Combat began immediately. Hundreds of Black Guard formed a large formation and engaged the three enemies in Combat. However, Guo Hong, carrying you, used his Qinggong to turn and fly away into the nearby Lin Zhong.]
Upon seeing this, Ling Yi couldn't help but frown.
The game starts with a Seventh Pin master, Lesser Master level expert. Are they skipping all the mobs and going straight for the boss?
Now that a boss has appeared, it's clear that this Thrusting is aimed at Deathblow blow.
Another point is, since the emperor sent the Black Guard to escort the "Third Prince" back to the capital, why didn't he send a highly skilled fighter instead?
Guo Hong was merely a thousand-guard among the Black Guard. Although his Sixth Pin- Sixth Pin cultivation was not low, it was somewhat insufficient in this level of competition.
Couldn't that emperor see this?
Or is there some hidden story behind this?
Keep watching the comments.
Moreover, Ling Yi estimated that he and Guo Hong were most likely unable to escape.
Since it's Deathblow, there must be a backup plan.
[ Guo Hong led you on a frantic run through the forest, but unfortunately, before you'd gone a kilometer, you were stopped again by men in black. This time there were six of them, all of them Sixth Pin Martial Practitioner.]
[Although Guo Hong is also Sixth Pin, his cultivation technique is of a very high grade, making him extremely powerful in Combat. He can hold his own against six opponents, but you know very well that Guo Hong cannot last long.]
[You know you can't keep hiding your strength any longer, or you and Guo Hong will both die here. Take advantage of a lull in the chaos of battle, find an opportunity, unleash your power suddenly, Cloud-Treading Steps to close the distance, and instantly kill one person with the Mysterious Jade Hand.]
[Your strength immediately shocked everyone. Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, you used your Overbearing Fist to smash two more people with both hands, instantly Reversal the situation.]
[The remaining three were easily killed by you and Guo Hong working together. But just as you were about to leave, the sound of applause rang out from the tree, and a person wearing Bronze mask slowly descended from the sky.]
[This is also a Seventh Pin Lesser Master. Guo Hong shouted "Run!" to you, but then rushed towards this masked man, clearly intending to sacrifice himself to buy you a chance to survive.]
[You didn't leave because you knew that since this was a Deathblow, you couldn't escape; you either died or you killed all the enemies.]
Seeing this, Ling Yi knew that he was most likely going to die again.
However, the following comments left Ling Yi completely stunned.
[You unleash the Cloud-Treading Steps, charging directly at the masked man. Activating your Mysterious Jade Art Skill, your power surges. Your right hand delivers Overbearing Fist, while your left hand, wielding the Mysterious Jade Hand, prepares to strike the masked man.]
[The masked man snorted, uttered a few words about overestimating himself, and with a wave of his hand, sent Guo Hong flying with his True Yuan. He then threw a punch at you, clearly intending to clash head-on. You circulated your entire body's Qi and Blood, unleashing your Overbearing Fist to its fullest extent.]
[However, your goal wasn't to clash head-on with your opponent, but rather to change your punch into a grab, directly seizing their wrist. You used the Cloud-Treading Steps to deflect the force backward, while your left hand, the Mysterious Jade Hand, struck forward towards their heart.]
[The masked man circulated his True Yuan, let out a cold snort, and made no attempt to defend himself. He clearly didn't believe you could break through his True Yuan. But the next thing you did, your Mysterious Jade Hand pierced directly into his body, shattering his heart.]
[The masked man stared at you in disbelief, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground. You grabbed Guo Hong, who was equally dumbfounded, and used your Cloud-Treading Steps to turn and run.]
Ling Yi stood up again, exclaiming in surprise, "Wo Cao, how did you do that?"
Ling Yi is no longer Little White in cultivation; he already has a very good understanding of the cultivation levels of Martial Practitioner.
The reason why Lesser Master is called Lesser Master is because his Qi Jin is transformed into True Yuan True Yuan, which protects his body. His defensive power is almost impossible for the Qi Condensation Realm Martial Practitioner to break.
Unless you can exhaust all of the opponent's True Yuan in one strike.
But Ling Yi knew very well that this was impossible, at least he couldn't do it.
Could it be related to the Mysterious Jade Hand? Could the Mysterious Jade Hand possibly break through the protective True Yuan? Impossible!
The Mysterious Jade Hand is only Mystic Tier technique. Although it can make the palm incredibly hard, comparable to Treasure Artifact, it is still just a Physics attack.
Ling Yi looked at his left hand and suddenly a possibility occurred to him!
The Simulation bullet hell continues!
[You led Guo Hong straight into the deep mountains Old Lin, running wildly without knowing which way to go, from noon until nightfall, and then from nightfall until dawn, without stopping for a moment, until you finally came to a small village and stopped.]
[Upon inquiry, we learned that this is Mountain Splitting Village, located 60 li (approximately 30 kilometers) from Sanhe County Mountain Splitting Village belongs to Qinghe County, situated south of Sanhe County, a far cry from the capital. It is precisely because of this distance that you successfully escaped this Deathblow and survived.]
Qinghe County?
Ling Yi remembered that Zheng Qi seemed to be Eighth Pin constable in Qinghe County.
As for why he appeared in Sanhe County, it is probably related to the Third Prince Liu Zheng, or rather, he was arranged to be there to deal with the Third Prince Liu Zheng.
However, none of that matters; let's continue watching the Simulation bullet hell.
[You purchased some clothes from a Peasant School, disguised yourselves, and after some discussion, decided to continue south, leaving Nanlan Commandery for Nine Bends Commandery in the south. Nine Bends Commandery has a river dock, so you plan to switch from land to water travel.]
[You and Guo Hong traveled south non-stop, resting during the day and traveling at night, and it took you a full Half Moon to finally arrive at the county river dock in Nine Bends Commandery.]
[These Half Moon, though rushed, have been safe. With the blessing of the Divine Martial Pill, your cultivation has broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm Great Perfection. You're just one step away from entering the Seventh Pin True Yuan Realm and becoming Lesser Master.]
[On September 15th, 1208 of the Great Qian Calendar, you were cultivating in an inn near the dock while Guo Hong went out to gather information. That evening, Guo Hong returned and informed you that he had found a merchant ship heading north, and you would board it in three days.]
[After Half Moon- Rush, both you and Guo Hong are exhausted, both physically and mentally. You plan to use these three days to rest properly. Guo Hong then tells you that he left behind coded marks from the Black Guard along the way.]
[Other powerful Black Guard quickly arrived to provide protection, but upon hearing this news, you instantly had a bad feeling. Without thinking, you immediately decided to leave that very night without lingering.]
[ Guo Hong trusted Black Guard Black Guard, but you didn't. You argued about it, and you insisted on leaving that very night. Guo Hong, though unhappy, could only follow, but it was too late.]
Seeing this, Ling Yi shook his head, inwardly cursing him as an idiot.
[At the Junhe Wharf, you and Guo Hong are surrounded by hundreds of men in black. The moment you engage them, Guo Hong recognizes them as members of the Black Guard.]
[ Guo Hong seemed to have been greatly provoked. He unleashed a secret technique, causing his Battle Power to surge. In a desperate, life-or-death struggle, he killed dozens of men in black before being killed by a combined attack from them.]
[And you, you were surrounded and attacked by three Lesser Master. Unfortunately, even though you had Deathblow techniques, you couldn't get close. One of them was a master of Hidden Weapons. You used the Cloud-Treading Steps to fight off dozens of them, barely managing to kill one before Hidden Weapons pierced your heart, and you died!]
