Chapter Fifty-Seven: Violating the Taboo with Military Might

  "Hmm?" Han Yang put down the book in his hand and gestured for the middle-aged man to continue speaking.

  "The assassin from last night was Yan Sha, the successor of Yi State's fierce flame. It is said that he was a top-notch expert just a year ago, but somehow broke through to the innate stage! And we have already grasped Yan Sha's trail!" The man in blue clothes said respectfully.

  "This assassination is quite suspicious, I don't know if we should capture him and interrogate the mastermind behind it?" The middle-aged man's eyes gleamed with a cold light, his voice icy and stern.

  "In the Jianghu, people have always used martial arts to break the law. Capturing this person can actually serve as a wake-up call for the Wulin community!" Han Yang's eyes were clear and bright, his voice low and solemn, with an air of killing intent lingering around him.

  "The student will go and prepare." The middle-aged man said respectfully.

  In less than half a time, two teams of soldiers lined up outside the city of Rongzhou, with a total number of over 500. These soldiers wore dark armor, holding long spears, and the spears had a cold light on them. The atmosphere was solemn and stern, with a chilling and murderous aura.

  "Charge!" A man wearing armor, holding a crimson long spear, rode a red stallion, leading the way into the city. Boom, boom, the sound of synchronized footsteps echoed. Soldiers followed closely behind.

  In an ordinary inn room, Yan Sha sat cross-legged, with crimson true energy flowing through his body, emitting a scorching aura. The true energy flowed smoothly, unobstructed, nourishing the meridian cells within his body. At the same time, threads of heavenly spiritual energy transformed into white mist, entering Yan Sha's body from the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and being converted into fiery true energy.

  Suddenly Yan Sha's mind moved, his eyes opened, a ray of light flashed by, and his robes fluttered without wind. A thread of scorching hot breath appeared, then disappeared without a trace.

  "It's fortunate that my physical body has already reached an extraordinary level, otherwise I would have been left behind last night. The power of the saint is terrifying, I regret being careless! Inflamesa couldn't help but recall the terrifying scene from last night when his true energy was suppressed, and his heart was already racing with anxiety."

  "Wait, why am I feeling so uneasy? Is it the aftermath of last night?" Yan Sha felt a sudden sense of panic in her heart, as if something big had happened.

  "No, this is a life and death matter! A crisis has arrived!" Yan Sha immediately thought of something, hastily got out of bed, didn't even pack anything, and quickly opened the window, ready to make a run for it.

  "Fire!" A cold shout rang out, like a thunderclap on dry land.

  Yan Sha didn't have time to think carefully and immediately retreated. At the same time, he swung his sleeve robe, mobilized his true energy, and conjured up a fierce gust of wind.

  "Thud thud......" Arrows burning all over the sky whizzed in, hitting the windows and the houses.

  "Hmph...!" The remaining arrows that shot in were swept down one after another by Yan Sha's true energy gale.

  "It's the imperial court!" Yan Sha was greatly shocked in his heart, never expecting that the imperial court would take action so quickly.

  "It's not suitable to force a confrontation, let's retreat!" Yan Sha made the decision. A master martial artist facing hundreds of well-trained soldiers could escape without too much difficulty, but trying to take them down by force would be a bit challenging. Moreover, there was also a great scholar in the city, and it wasn't the right time to show off one's skills.

  "Bang!" Yan Sha's foot swept out, lifting up the entire bed. With a loud crash, it smashed through the window.

  "Dong dong......"

  "Get out of the way!"

  The large bed was filled with arrows, but it also crushed the soldiers below, and a sudden cry of panic rose from beneath.

  "It's now, let's go!" Yan Sha's big foot stomped down, and with a loud "crack", his foot had already broken through the wooden board beneath. With a whooshing sound, Yan Sha's true energy shook, and he swept his foot downwards, causing all the wooden boards in the room to fly up and shoot out of the window.

  "Thud thud!" Yan Sha's feet trampled the flying wooden board, and it flew out in relay. The wooden board under her feet blocked the arrows that came shooting over, forming a barrier under Yan Sha's feet.

  The officers and soldiers below only saw a large bed falling down, followed by a row of wooden boards flying out in a hurry. A figure was seen jumping on the flying wooden boards with agility, about to escape from the encirclement.

  "Stay back!" A stern, hard and cold shout rang out. A man wearing a suit of armor with a faintly glowing dark color, holding a long red spear, kicked the ground with one foot and soared into the sky.

  "Cheers!" The man holding the long spear had his true energy surging, and the long spear was filled with a brilliant red light. A bloody and murderous aura burst into the sky. Boom! The long spear shot up towards the sky, piercing through the wooden board. Then, with a flick of the spear, crackling sounds were heard as the wooden boards flew back and forth.

  "A mere top-notch, dare to block my way!" Yan Sha's voice was hoarse and low, his right palm turned fiery red, and he slapped out with a loud slap.

  "Bang...bang..." The flying wooden board was struck into pieces, the wood shavings turned into sparks and fell down.

  "Thief, with martial arts violating the forbidden, your intentions are unfathomable, you should be executed!" The man holding a crimson long spear shouted sternly. Not showing any fear towards the innate master.

  "Looking for death!" Yan Sha was furious, his true energy surged, and his momentum soared into the sky. Within three feet of his body, the air twisted, as if a torch was burning fiercely.

  "Charge!" The man with the long spear rushed forward.

  "Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers below shouted to the sky, hundreds of stocks of murderous aura, killing aura, and iron-blooded aura rose into the air. These auras formed a martial aura, filling an area of one mile in diameter.

  "What?" Yan Sha was shocked in his heart, and suddenly a strong, cold, and murderous aura filled the sky, suppressing the momentum around him, and his true energy couldn't even leave his body.

  "You're a dead man! Even if your true energy doesn't leave your body, taking your life is still easy." Yan Sha's voice was filled with murderous intent, and with a sudden kick, he charged at the military officer.

  "Whoosh... A crimson long spear burst forth with a dazzling spear flower, like a giant python emerging from its lair, a venomous snake searching for prey, facing the fiery red palms."

  "Clang... Clang..." Yan Sha's palms danced wildly, colliding with the long spear, and astonishingly emitted a metallic ringing sound.

  "Boom!"

  "Clang!"

  Flames shot out from both palms, and the powerful true energy and strength sent the officer holding a long spear flying back several steps. The armor-clad officer's tiger mouth was greatly shocked, and fresh blood had already seeped out of his hands. At the same time, the true energy in his body surged up, receiving no small impact.

  "Cough! Cough!" The officer coughed several times, with scarlet blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

  However, both of them simultaneously fell to the ground. Ka-ka, the officer landed and continuously retreated to dissipate the force, his feet crushing the green bricks beneath him with a crunching sound.

  Yan Sha gently fell on the roof. His gray robes fluttered in the wind, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of solemnity. However, he didn't suffer any damage at all. For a moment, the advantage of the Pre-Heavenly stage was revealed without a doubt. Moreover, this was still without mobilizing the resonance of heaven and earth, and the full state of true energy being released externally.

  "With force, he violates the forbidden, and his crime deserves to be punished!" A stern and majestic voice rose, as a vast, upright, and orderly aura burst forth, countless scriptures transformed into crystal chains within the white mist, sealing off an area of one mile in diameter.
