Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1219 - 711: Luoyang Pier, Bloodbath! (Part 2)

"That An Long is Shi Zhixuan’s right arm, naturally unfathomable, not to be described merely with martial arts; as for that Heavenly Lord Xi Ying, Teacher, do you know that twenty years ago, due to some minor grudges between our sect and ’Tyrant Blade’ Yue Shan, he challenged Yue Shan to a duel, losing by just one move. Bearing a grudge, he slaughtered Yue Shan’s entire family in his absence, sowing deep hatred. This person is narrow-minded and cunning, difficult to deal with."

Shi Feixuan’s words were etched into Sui Yi’s mind. In terms of understanding the Demon Sect, she truly wasn’t as knowledgeable as Shi Feixuan.

"Are you worried they might also head to Luoyang Pier?"

"Worrying is useless, isn’t it?" Shi Feixuan sighed lightly. "If the news of Green Dragon Yan has reached Great Scholar Wang, they must already be at the pier by now. How can the opponent not make a move?"

They were probably too late.

Unless there’s an absolute master beside Li Yuan.

"Let them make their move." Sui Yi’s casual remark surprised Shi Feixuan; this man didn’t seem like someone who would hit someone when they’re down.

"Someone will surely make a move eventually."

Shi Feixuan’s eyes lit up.

Luoyang Pier was bustling with more people than usual.

Not because they knew Li Yuan had arrived but because of the commotion here.

Not long ago, that grand ship and several other impressive vessels sailed into the pier’s waters. Many looked on eagerly, but just as they saw a dignified middle-aged man on the deck surrounded by guards, screams erupted, and someone fell overboard from the railing, already dead upon hitting the water. Soon after, many wet black-clad figures closed in from the rear, attacking Li Yuan and his men before the ship even docked!

"Not good, it’s the Dongying ninjas!"

"These must be the assassins from Dongying!"

Li Yuan and his entourage, experienced and knowledgeable, immediately recognized the source of these assassins and realized their own men were no match for them. Li Yuan’s face changed, but he managed not to collapse in fear, instead retreating under the protection of the guards. Meanwhile, the helmsman tried to bring the ship ashore quickly so Li Yuan could evacuate.

As Green Dragon Yan was still over a hundred meters from docking, the guards on the accompanying ships threw ropes to latch onto Green Dragon Yan’s railing, trying to fend off these Dongying assassins.

However, as anticipated by An Long, the Demon Master Legion was far more than just this handful of men.

From under the water, a barrage of flying darts shot up, severing the ropes while masked figures in black swarmed over the vessels, slaughtering!

How could these military troops possibly match these martial arts assassins? Moreover, these tactics from Dongying were unlike anything in the Central Plains, and these were the elite of elites among the Dongying people; encountering them meant heavy casualties on first sight, and the bloodshed and screams brutally engulfed the entire pier.

The trade ships passing by and the large marketplace on the pier’s edge were terrified; many rushed to the pier’s edge...

Oh my, such a grand scene!

Just how large is this scene?

A total of seven huge ships, larger than any merchant ship they’ve ever seen, had their decks running red with blood, and the number of black-clad figures was not at all less than the five hundred guards Li Yuan brought.

Such an elite and massive ninja force is among the top combat units in this world. Their massacre left the people of the Central Plains immensely shocked, especially seeing the banner of the Li Family Clique.

One must know, amid the populace, the Li Family had the highest support for ascendancy, but now... what did the people of the Central Plains see?

They saw the forces of the Li Family being slaughtered like chickens and ducks by the Dongying people.

Furious!

Incomparable fury, coupled with immense shame!

This shame was greater than the political storm that Li Yuan’s death would bring.

Perhaps even Li Jiancheng didn’t foresee the extent of impact this scene would have on the Li Family’s authority among the people.

It would directly smother the Li Family’s authority among the populace.

And this result is exactly what Dongying wanted!

Kill!

A Dongying assassin screamed sharply.

The slaughter accelerated, and Li Yuan’s guards rapidly dwindled... Before long, the blade was pointed at Li Yuan’s head...

A fireball the size of an egg hit his hand, burning off most of it in an instant,

this was the real scream of agony.

Amidst the screams,

from a fast-approaching large ship, Natasha, clad in Persian-style dress that turned beauty into an articulate blade, stood at the helm, tossing fireballs from the palm of her hand, and as the sailboat swiftly swept from behind after twenty meters... Hell’s Wan Ge, at the top of the ship’s mast, threw the iron cable in her hand directly forward.

Easily spanning twenty meters, it securely hooked onto the top of the second-highest mast of the ship ahead.

Then she tied a thick leather strap to the iron cable and, following the downward trend, swiftly...

In an instant, she slid twenty meters through the air onto the ship’s top, jumping down.

Raising her hand and striking with her blade, heads rolled instantly; she slaughtered over a dozen ninjas in the blink of an eye, throwing the iron cable back to Natasha’s ship as she went, and without caring about Natasha anymore, turned and killed her way to the ship’s bow, jumping over that ship... swiftly heading to Green Dragon.

She was an assassin mainly focused on solo attacks, not good at group killings, but Natasha was skilled in that, and any ninja hiding was meaningless to a "mage" like her.

Opening up an area with fire magic, she executed a group massacre.

From the seventh ship, she quickly swept to the sixth!

And Hell’s Wan Ge had reached Green Dragon Yan!

But just as she arrived at the bow, she raised an eyebrow,

Sui Yi was right; indeed, there was a master by Li Yuan’s side, making it not so easy for him to die. (To be continued.
