Great Li Martial God

The instant the armored soldier spoke, Suppression Commissioner Yu Jin and the four grand eunuchs had already struck without hesitation like thunderbolts.

Wind arose beneath their feet. They left only afterimages throughout the hall, leaping from several directions straight toward the armored soldier wreathed in black qi.

The sound of wind and thunder suddenly exploded. Yu Jin's right palm visibly swelled to the size of a cattail leaf fan. The martial Dao true qi around his palm condensed into a blue light palm print that thunderously slammed down with the heavy momentum of mountains.

The four grand eunuchs including An Quan cultivated Sunflower Yin true qi that was incomparably cold. Whether condensing into fist, palm, finger, or claw forms externally, all directly targeted the armored soldier's vital points. In an instant, the temperature around the hall plummeted as if falling into an ice cellar.

Clearly, when the armored soldier no longer concealed himself and truly revealed his own strength, Yu Jin and the others already sensed an enormous threat from him.

Therefore, they held nothing back. They immediately decided to join hands in a siege, determined to achieve success in one strike and capture the armored soldier at the fastest speed before proceeding to interrogate his accomplices.

However, facing the siege of the Tianjin Guards' five great experts, that armored soldier remained unmoved, standing in place from beginning to end with no intention of fleeing.

That face shrouded in black qi curved into a mocking expression.

The next moment, those chain phantoms condensed from mist began rotating rapidly with a "clang clang" sound. Instead of retreating, they advanced like long whips lashing out, winding toward the five people who had arrived nearby.

"Be careful. Don't get contaminated by this Northern Qi Dark Energy." Yu Jin reminded them in a deep voice. The martial Dao true qi in his dantian surged outward, condensing into a layer of protective blue light true qi on his body surface.

The palm print in his hand continued falling without hesitation, thunderously striking the top of the black qi-wreathed armored soldier's head.

At the same time, the four grand eunuchs did the same. While releasing true qi externally for protection, they struck the armored soldier's vital acupoints from four directions with Sunflower Yin true qi.

However, what the five didn't expect was that their attacks entering the armored soldier's body were like clay oxen entering the sea, causing no ripples whatsoever.

The armored soldier before them still stood in place unmoving. Aside from the blue brick floor beneath his feet sinking half a foot and turning to powder, he showed no signs of injury at all. Instead, the mocking expression on his face intensified.

Yu Jin and the eunuchs were all alarmed. They hurriedly tried to withdraw and retreat.

But those chain phantoms condensed from black qi wound along their protective true qi around their bodies, imprisoning them so they could hardly escape.

Immediately after, the armored soldier struck five punches in the blink of an eye, actually shattering and dispersing all the protective true qi around Yu Jin's group of five.

Yu Jin's group of five was immediately shocked. They hurriedly circulated the true qi in their bodies for defense.

At this time, Gong Lishan not far away in the hall saw this scene. His expression suddenly became extremely serious, "This person's Northern Qi Dark Energy is too powerful. Although he hasn't truly reached the Grand Master realm, the strength of his true qi is no inferior to a Martial Dao Grand Master expert."

"Then what should we do now?" Ji Feiyun frowned.

Gong Lishan didn't think much, "We must help them. Otherwise, those five will be exhausted to death by his Northern Qi Dark Energy."

Having said this, he took the lead rushing out while calling to other Innate Realm experts in the hall, "Everyone attack together! Exhaust his strength as much as possible!"

Hearing this, the guards and young eunuchs in the hall immediately struck together, rushing toward that armored soldier.

At the same time, the protective true qi Yu Jin and the others had just condensed was again shattered by the armored soldier's punch.

"You can't even kill me when I stand here letting you hit me. Why seek death?"

The young armored soldier sneered. Turning back, he exchanged one move with Gong Lishan who had already arrived nearby.

With a "boom," explosive sound rang out. True qi collided and surged, shattering a large area of carved doors and windows around them.

Gong Lishan was clearly no match. His entire person flew backward, barely stabilizing his form in mid-air and stopping several zhang away.

"Crack!"

At this time, ferocious cracks appeared on the floor tiles, spreading from the armored soldier as the center toward all parts of the hall.

With a series of crackling sounds, chunks of floor tiles explosively shattered, flying and shooting in all directions through the air.

The Tianjin Guards' guards and young eunuchs hadn't even approached the armored soldier when they were struck by these brick fragments like hidden weapons. Unable to withstand the terrifying force on them, they were blasted away.

For a moment, continuous pained cries and screams rang out throughout the hall. Young eunuchs and guards were successively sent flying. All suffered considerable internal injuries, each unable to help vomiting blood.

Seeing this, Ji Feiyun, who had been preparing to strike, hurriedly stopped. Instead, he flashed to Gong Lishan's side, "This person is too formidable—clearly a Martial Dao Grand Master. We can't possibly be his match. For now, we must seek reinforcements."

Having said this, Ji Feiyun flicked his sleeve. A bamboo tube flew out through the broken window, then was activated to shoot a thick red smoke trail toward the sky.

The black qi-wreathed armored soldier glanced this way, then sneered coldly, "Looks like before your Six Doors experts arrive, I'll have to speed things up."

As his words fell, the armored soldier suddenly struck out with his fist. This time, the true qi that erupted was even stronger than before, directly blasting Yu Jin's group of five away.

The chain phantoms condensed from black qi were like bone-corroding maggots, rapidly eroding the bodies of Yu Jin's group of five.

At the same time, the armored soldier stomped down. His entire person shot out like a cannonball, arriving before Gong Lishan and Ji Feiyun in the blink of an eye.

His fists rolling with black qi suddenly blasted out. The two barely reacted in time to raise their arms to block, but simply couldn't resist. Both were violently sent flying.

At this time, black qi surged around the armored soldier's body. His figure moved, rushing out at even faster speed, appearing beside Ji Feiyun and the other in mid-air.

Seeing the armored soldier about to continue punching toward their heads, Ji Feiyun and the other immediately showed expressions of shock.

Just at this moment, a gray-robed elder suddenly appeared behind the armored soldier like a ghost, thrusting out a sword silently like a venomous snake.

This sword was extremely fast and carried murderous intent impossible to avoid. The armored soldier showed a panicked expression for the first time. He only had time to fully circulate his true qi and shift his body sideways.

The next instant, blood splattered. The armored soldier's entire arm was severed by one sword strike.

"You're seeking death!"

The armored soldier roared furiously. The pitch-black Northern Qi Dark Energy throughout his body condensed into his other arm like a whale swallowing. Turning back, he punched toward the gray-robed elder behind him.

A fierce black tiger phantom with an exposed vicious appearance condensed and charged out from the surging Northern Qi Dark Energy, seeming to want to tear apart everything before it.

The gray-robed elder also didn't seem to want to be contaminated by Northern Qi Dark Energy. He raised his palm and barely struck the black tiger phantom, while his entire person used the force to retreat rapidly backward.

However, he suddenly frowned because that armored soldier was actually fleeing backward at even faster speed.

The gray-robed elder hurriedly stopped his form, but in this blink of an eye, he had already lost sight of the armored soldier.
