Everyone was stunned and speechless, like seeing a ghost in the daytime. After a long time, only the slight sound of swallowing could be heard, but it was particularly awkward.
Liu Zhiyan looked at them coldly, as if she was going to fight and teach everyone a lesson, which made the followers scared and flustered.
That strong man surnamed Wu was quite famous in this area. Not only was he a genuine practitioner, but the attack of his knife was also fierce. Now even he was kicked out face to face and didn't seem to be able to fight back, so the followers dared not to fight.
With the help of Li Ye, Liu Zhiyan's cultivation had already stepped into Level 3 of Qi-refining at present. After all, she was the Big Master to control the river bangs, so her cultivation couldn't be too low, even with the secret care of the Black Office.
In spite of her irritation, she reserved her power just now, otherwise, not only could she cut off the s
The lumbering man, towering at more than 2 meters tall, carrying his huge, menacing sabre was called Wu Zhenjiang (Wu the Conqueror of Raging Rivers), a name so imposing that, when coupled with his hulking length and girth, many locals in the vicinity of Ji River feared and avoided him. What a pity it was, that he met Li Ye. Wu Zhenjiang was rescued from the water and he collapsed on to the wooden planks of the ship's bow, lying down, gasping for breath like a fish out of water. The two other young men, whom he always greatly respected, were also tightly bound in ropes. One of them was so badly beaten that the swells and bruises of his face rendered him unrecognizable. The other was tossed into the air by Li Ye that he crashed through the cabins of the ship with his head used as a battering ram. He too was badly wounded. Li Ye muttered a few words to Liu Zhiyan, ordering the latter to take every bandit who was blocking the way into custody,
Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan were at an inn, preparing to enjoy their freshly-laid meal on their table when a band of burly men, led by a few constables from the local magistrate stormed into the premises. "This is an official business of the magistrate! Keep away at once!" The beefy leader of the constables barked loudly as soon as he had entered the inn. No one dared say a word. At the sight of the constables in their uniform, the rest of the other patrons of the inn immediately scurried out of the door like frightened animals. "Damn it! Who is this woman called Liu!" One of the constables bellowed, flipping over a table to intimidate Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan as he glared at them. He stepped on the fallen plates and cups, trampling on the shards and splinters to assert his threatening presence. It was a rather pointless question, Li Ye mused. There was no one else in the inn save for Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan. Even the manager and the staff o
The folding fan in Li Ye's hand was painted with an ink landscape painting, antique and profound. There were five words on the upper right, a river and a mountain. Today, Li Ye was wearing a white robe of a scholar with no fancy decorations. He smiled with a peaceful look as he waved the folding fan gently. His manner was very natural and unrestrained. But soon, his smile disappeared and he narrowed his eyes. His smiling face became gloomy. A few fishing boats were moored along the river a hundred paces to the left front. It was in the afternoon, so the fishermen were having meals. On an old fishing boat with a broken bamboo mat as its top, an old man in his fifties and a teenager girl were cooking fish in a fire on the bow. The two people wore coarse clothes with many patches. The old man's hair was grey, fluffy and sparse. His face was furrowed, he was skin and bone, and his eye sockets sagged. The constant exposure to the wi
The white horse flew up as Li Ye waved his hand. He said with no emotion in his eyes, "You were so arrogant as you hit someone. Do you really think money makes you justified? Do you like to kick others' sacks? I'll let you try what it feels like to be under a heavy object!" Li Ye stepped backward and pressed down his hand so that the white horse fell immediately on the man in splendid clothes, causing dust everywhere. The man in splendid clothes jerked his legs, and then he didn't move without any screams. The young coolie looked at this scene in surprise. Perhaps because he was squatting on the ground, the figure of the young man in a white robe was very big in his eyes. Clasping his hands which were trembling with excitement, he stood up and cupped his hands. "Thank you for your help!" Li Ye looked back at him and motioned to the dock. "See those ships with a lot of people tied up?" The young coolie looked back. "Yes!"
At this moment, the seven shadowy swordmen attacked together abruptly, and seven waves of sword light struck to Li Ye at the same time. While the green whirlpool at his feet burst out a bright formation pattern. Its great suction burst to the extreme at this moment. The tall building under his feet was torn to pieces with broken woods and bricks flying everywhere. The seven waves of Sword Qi blocked the space where Li Ye would dodge. At the same time, a giant green sword, shining dazzling light, suddenly appeared in the air. It chopped Li Ye down, as bright as the sun! Wu Jianghuai's voice was full of killing intent, "It's useless to never say uncle. Go to hell!" "Really?" Li Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. He punched without any extra movements. The punch was unremarkable but powerful. The sudden punch hit the shadow in the front directly, and screams immediately sounded. That shadow wasn't a vague shadow but a
Wu Huainan was the Inspector General of Qizhou. Under the tough management of the Wu family, Qizhou was in good order. Although there were many incidents of bullying ordinary people, it could not be denied that the Wu family was the local despot in Qizhou and that they had absolute authority in Qizhou. Now, someone dared to break into Qizhou and come straight to him? Wu Huainan's first reaction was that was he crazy? "Who is there? How many are they?" Wu Huainan strode out the door, and his face darkened. His voice was murderous because of the great insult to his dignity. Spiritual Master Zhao was also surprised and didn't figure out who dared to be so bold. Wu Jianghuai went outside to arrest the river gang. He didn't arrest them, but he himself was seriously injured and dying? Spiritual Master Zhao didn't think it was possible because how could there be such a master who could break the Skylight Sword Formation in such a smal
There were many pedestrians on the street, and there were more people in the shops and restaurants on both sides. They opened their eyes wide incredibly and they were stunned for quite a while as they saw this scene. Until there was no movement in the sky, they rushed over, craned their necks, and peered at the big hole. "Isn't he the Inspector General?" "Oh, my god! Is he really the Inspector General?" "Why did the Inspector General... hit out a big hole on the street? And why was he lying still there?" "This... Don't you find out that the Inspector General was attacked seriously by a cultivator and fell down hard? Don't you see that the Inspector General doesn't move at all?" "Is he already dead? The Inspector General was always arrogant and extremely imposing. He never put anyone in his eyes, acting like a local despot. But now, he is hit to death here?!" "Well done! This treacherous official bull
The major was stunned. The sergeants were stunned. And so were the officers. The Military Commander! Under the government of the Tang Empire, the title of Commander in Chief was not specific for a certain position. Each of the major generals who led troops to fight might be addressed as Commander in Chief. But the Military Commander or the Commander of the Vassal State was different from the Commander in Chief. By convention, the title of Military Commander was used by the army men of the vassal state to address the Commissioner! The Commissioner of the Vassal State was called the Honest Commissioner by the civil officers under him. The word "Honest" meant being honest in performing his duties. On the other hand, the military officers were used to addressing him as Military Commander or Commissioner of the Vassal State, which meant the commander of an army, namely the commander of the vassal state's
