Insufficient balance
The Mo Mansion is located on the west side of Wancheng City, directly opposite to the Li Family's Grand Courtyard. Compared to the Li family's domineering behavior of occupying the back mountain of Wancheng City, the location of the Mo Mansion in the western part of the city seems a bit more humble.
However, in this golden land of Wancheng City, the Mo family's occupied area is actually larger than that of the Li family. It's just that the Mo family rose later and developed later, so when they arrived, the Li and Long families had already occupied the best areas of the city, so they had to settle in the west of the city.
It's just that in the vicinity of Mo Fu, ordinary people don't even dare to set foot on several streets nearby. This behavior is indeed arrogant, but it's also tacitly allowed in Wancheng City.
The main gate of the Mo residence faced a huge square, where giant bonfires were lit all over the place, illuminating the surroundings brightly. A team of Mo family's personal guards were patrolling continuously, their eyes occasionally glancing towards the direction of the Mo residence, and then a faint sound of laughter could be heard, as if some grand banquet was being held in the Mo house.
The guards on patrol were all envious, one of them sighed and said: "It's really frustrating, our Mo Mansion rarely holds a grand banquet, half of the people from Li and Long families have come, but we unexpectedly didn't get to see her, who knows when we'll have to wait until next time."
A man who looked like the captain turned his head and shouted, "Shut up! Today we're on patrol duty, so we don't have the right to complain. If you really want to experience it, wait until after our shift is over, I'll take you to Tianxiang Building to see what a real drinking party looks like."
These guards apparently all knew what Tianxiang Building was, and upon hearing the captain's words, they all burst out laughing in low voices.
Another guard smiled and said, "Today the second young master doesn't know what good fortune he's encountered, actually giving out several gold coins to each person. It seems that the captain's reward is even more generous. Tonight, we must make sure to get a good deal from the captain."
The rest of the people heard his words and all cheered in unison. The team leader saw this scene and could only smile wryly and shake his head.
Just then, a cold laugh was heard from afar, carried by the wind. A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in white clothes, with his hands behind his back, strolled slowly from one side of the square towards the main gate of Mo's mansion.
The guards on patrol exchanged a glance, both of them were taken aback. In all these years, they had never seen anyone like this appear at the Mo Manor's entrance.
The captain had some insight, seeing that the newcomer was young in years but extraordinary in demeanor. He waved his hand to signal his personal guards to disperse before speaking in a deep voice: "Who are you? Do you know this is already Mo Manor's territory? If you're just an innocent bystander, please leave! Today we're having a grand feast at the Mo Manor; we don't want to kill anyone."
The young man in white seemed to have not heard the captain's words, and only slightly shook his head, saying lightly: "Nana sister, let's just start from here... anyway, this road is bound to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, one more group doesn't make a difference."
As he finished speaking, everyone saw a girl in light blue clothes emerge from behind her. The girl's face was extremely delicate, with a faint smile that made people dizzy, but for some reason, this ethereal girl was holding a tattered rope in her hand, the other end of which was tied to a person. This person had their left hand bound behind their back, and their right hand hung down strangely. A black hood covered their head, and all over their body were various types of weapons.
These three people in this row are simply bizarre to the extreme.
The girl glanced at the situation in front of her and shook her head slightly, saying: "I said to sneak in secretly, but you don't want to. Even if you've already advanced to the Dou Zhe level, you shouldn't waste so much energy."
"No need," the young man in white clothes revealed a good-looking smile, "Since we are here to be guests, of course, we will enter openly and honestly. How can we do something despicable? Moreover, this group of trash in front of us won't waste much of my energy, come on with your sword!"
The girl seemed to have let out a faint sigh, but she still carefully pulled out a long sword from the bound person's body and tossed it into the boy's hands, saying in a low voice: "Be careful."
This strange trio of three people is naturally Li Yi, Li Nana, and Li Jiao who has already become a dog.
Li Yi took the long sword in his hand, bent his fingers and lightly plucked it, hearing a dragon's hum, he then let out a sigh and said: "A third-grade weapon is indeed sharp, so please, everyone, try my sword!"
Mo's family guards were all stunned at this scene, and then burst out laughing. One of them, who seemed kind-hearted, laughed and said: "Kid, with just one sentence from a fighter, you should go home and drink milk! You know that we are all fighters, but the little girl behind you can stay, Uncle will invite her to have some sweets, haha..."
Li Yi slightly shook his head and muttered: "Death is imminent, don't you know? Pitiful, pitiful..."
Having said that, he held up the long sword in his hand and walked slowly towards this team of guards.
"Who are you, after all!"
The captain still had a few points of insight, and Li Yi gave him a faint sense of danger. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
However, the response was a flash of sword light. There was not even a hint of fighting spirit on the sword light, but the originally small sword tip suddenly appeared in front of the captain's eyes. Before he could even let out a scream, the sword edge had already stabbed into his throat with a "puff" sound.
Slowly pulling the long sword out from the throat of the corpse in front of him, letting the bright red blood splatter on his own white clothes, Li Yi turned his head to a team of guards and smiled, saying: "This is the first one! Who's next?"
Li Yi's sword, like a ghostly apparition, left the remaining bodyguards stunned, but only for an instant. They quickly drew their own weapons from their waists and charged at Li Yi.
Li Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face grew thicker. Facing this group of imperial guards, he didn't even bother to use his martial skills. With a slight lift of the long sword in his hand, it was already slanting towards one side, chopping down. The imperial guard who was preparing to launch his martial skill only felt a red flash before his eyes, and the sword had already chopped down from his brow.
At this moment, seven or eight swords were chopping towards Li Yi at the same time. The sword tips flashed with Dou Qi, and it was clear that these guards had already used their Dou techniques. However, Li Yi only slightly shook his head, his body not retreating but advancing instead, instantly flashing into a flurry of knives and swords.
His long sword made a slight movement, and it was already on the face of a guard. He then swung his sword backhandedly, and in an instant, two good heads flew into the air. At this time, the remaining three or four people were crowded together. Li Yi's long sword flicked out casually, using up a few points of Dou Qi. Instantly, the long sword was like lightning, piercing through their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, it had strung the remaining guards together like candied hawthorns.
In just an instant, a team of over ten imperial guards all died at the hands of Li Yi, and not one of them could withstand even half a move from him.
He slowly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his palm, then turned to Li Nana with a smile and said: "What are you spacing out for? This is just the beginning. You can't even keep up now, I won't be able to protect you later."
Li Nana smiled sweetly, but the astonishment in her heart was simply indescribable. In the Dou Sheng continent, it wasn't unheard of for a move to instantly defeat an enemy, but such situations usually involved one side using an overwhelmingly powerful technique, leaving their opponent completely unable to defend themselves.
But like Li Yi, without using any martial skills at all, his body moved like a ghost and slipped through the crowd, annihilating his opponent in an instant, this situation was unheard of.
Although Li Nana knew that Li Yi had already advanced to the Douzhe level... ...but weren't all these bodyguards at the Douzhe level? Even if their cultivation methods and fighting skills were rough, they shouldn't be weak to this extent, right?
This is Mo's personal guard!
Just as Li Yi was about to continue stunning her, he picked up a long spear from the ground in front of him and walked straight towards the Mo Mansion gate.
Because of the sudden death of Mo's family guards, not a single person had time to report it to the Mo Manor. Otherwise, Li Yi would not have been able to walk to the gate of the Mo Manor so easily.
The main gate of the Mo estate was extremely large, with high steps leading up to it. On either side of the gate stood two stone statues of fearsome magical beasts whose names he couldn't recall. However, not a single one of them exuded an aura of majesty, perhaps due to the grand feast being held inside. At this moment, the main gate of the Mo estate was slightly ajar, with two personal guards standing on either side, their gazes fixed intently on the interior of the estate.
Li Yi slowly walked to the outside of the gate, his long spear hanging down to the ground. The four personal guards who should have been vigilant did not notice him at all, which made Li Yi feel embarrassed. He coughed slightly and said faintly: "Everyone..."
Four bodyguards turned around, still looking bewildered, wondering how this person suddenly appeared here. Why didn't those patrolling trash report a sound? Did they all die?
Before they could even finish their thoughts, the increasingly awkward Li Yi let out a cough and said calmly: "Everyone, your mom is calling you home for dinner!"
As soon as the voice fell, Li Yi's long gun swept across, sweeping to the knee of the first guard on his right side. The guard let out a dull hum and fell to the ground, he didn't even have time to cry out in pain before Li Yi kicked him in the chest, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, this guard hadn't even had time to hit the ground before he was dead beyond all doubt.
The four guards at the gate were clearly more formidable than the previous ones, and their reaction to the sudden change was faster. One of them immediately rushed towards the inner courtyard, while the remaining two simultaneously drew out their long swords from their waists and charged towards Li Yi.
Li Yi slightly tilted his head, seemingly with a hint of doubt, and said: "Really ran back home to eat? Then let the young master send you on your way!"
He tossed the long spear in his hand, and with a fierce turn of his body, one foot kicked at the end of the gun. The long spear floating in mid-air suddenly shot out like an arrow off the string, piercing through the chest of the running man, pinning his body straight to a wall.
Li Yi's body dropped down, his right hand suddenly shot out, like lightning falling on the throat of the person on the right side. His entire body then violently crashed forward, his shoulder colliding with the opponent's chest, and a cracking sound was heard. Only then did he nod in satisfaction, snatching the long sword from the man's hand and stabbing it towards the rear.
A low hum, the long sword in the hand of the man behind fell to the ground, his hand trembled as he tried to press his throat, where a long sword had appeared at some unknown time, and fine blood foam was constantly flowing out, but he couldn't even let out a scream.
Li Yi slightly shook his head, and in his heart, he didn't have any special feelings. From the moment he recovered his past life's cultivation, he understood that these warriors who couldn't even form a Qi shield were like ants in front of him, unless their martial arts skills were above Zhu Que's, otherwise they weren't even worthy opponents for him.
He lightly clapped his hands and pushed away the two limp corpses beside him. Li Yi let out a cold laugh and said calmly, "Fire!"
The two fierce battles at the door were just an appetizer. To rescue Li Han, it seems that there is still a long way to go.
