Chapter 59 I am disappointed
Puff puff puff puff...
The terrifying sound of countless arrows piercing human bodies rang out simultaneously at that moment.
The power, far exceeding that of a strong bow, transformed these arrows into utterly deadly weapons.
Ordinary armor is no different from a piece of paper in the face of such powerful arrows, offering absolutely no protection.
In an instant, this "sea of people" created by the rain and the Imperial Guards was completely transformed into a sea of blood.
Even when the torrential rain from the sky almost turns into a waterfall, it is still difficult to make the water clear again in a short period of time.
At this moment, there were no longer any Imperial Guards standing in Li Yuan's sight.
However, this does not mean that there are no more people blocking the way.
A force with significantly better armor and weapons, and of greater strength, once again surrounded Li Yuan.
"One hundred eighth-rank soldiers and two hundred seventh-rank soldiers, this is... Tiger Guards?" Li Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Immediately afterwards, in addition to the three hundred Tiger Guards, hundreds more soldiers in black armor came from all directions, braving the rain.
"This is... the Black Knights again?"
The so-called Tiger Guard was a team secretly trained by Fan Xian's father, Fan Jian, under the instruction of Emperor Qing.
These Tiger Guards were handpicked individuals with exceptional martial prowess and unwavering loyalty. They typically served as bodyguards for Emperor Qing and his princes.
The so-called Black Riders are the Fifth Division of the Overwatch Council, which is the most powerful military force in the entire Overwatch Council.
Under the command of Chen Pingping, the head of the Censorate, they even once made a long-distance raid deep into the former Northern Wei Dynasty to carry out combat operations.
Now, these two teams, which can be considered the most elite military forces in the Qing Kingdom, are lying in ambush in the palace, blocking Li Yuan's way.
"Seriously... is this even interesting?"
Seeing the guards and the black-clad riders behind them all drawing their long swords at a shout and rushing in from all directions, Li Yuan was filled with impatience.
This impatience wasn't directed at the people currently besieging him, but rather at Emperor Qing.
Even finding some ninth-rank martial artists would be better.
Even if you have to pay someone to hire you, right?
That would make it seem like we value it more, wouldn't it?
He clearly gave Emperor Qing so much time to prepare, not only giving advance notice but also keeping a slow pace on the way back to the capital.
And that's it?
Whether it was the Imperial Guards, the Tiger Guards, or the Black Riders, they couldn't even handle Ye Liuyun, Ku He, and Si Gu Jian; at most, they would only deplete some of their true energy!
Even after defeating and killing the three grandmasters one by one, he still uses this same preparation?
Emperor Qing, are you even taking this to heart?
Looking at the people rushing towards him from all sides, seeing the resolute look on their faces that could be clearly seen even through the blurry rain, Li Yuan slowly closed his eyes:
"That's enough!"
The next moment, the raindrops falling from the sky stopped.
Also frozen in place were the long swords that were about to strike from all directions, and the person holding the hilt behind the blade.
At this moment, the huge square inside the palace seemed to have undergone the creation of chaos, the beginning of the separation of heaven and earth.
When Li Yuan opened his eyes again, everything had disappeared.
Raindrops, swords, armor, people... everything vanished!
It's like a painting that was originally full of color, suddenly covered with a patch of white.
When the rain falls from the sky, trying to wash it away, it finds that parts of the original drawing also disappear along with it.
Centered on Li Yuan, the entire square was instantly cleared, and everything disappeared without a trace.
The next moment, before the rain could even fill the empty space, he had already vanished in a flash.
No one could see his path forward, not even a ninth-rank martial artist!
In the blink of an eye, Li Yuan arrived in front of the Taiji Hall.
He completely ignored the steps in front of the Taiji Hall, walking as if he were stepping on air, and walked step by step toward the gate of the Taiji Hall.
With each step he took, a sentence uttered from his mouth, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger:
"Li Yunqian, I am very disappointed."
"I gave you so much time, and this is all you've prepared?"
"Do you think this is enough to deal with me?"
His voice was deafening, like a thunderous roar, echoing and reverberating throughout the Taiji Hall and even the surrounding buildings.
Answer me!!!
And this last sentence was like a divine wrath, shaking the heavens and resounding throughout the entire palace.
As the last word fell, he stood right in front of the towering gate of the Taiji Hall.
At the same time, a powerful wave erupted from his body, soaring into the sky and piercing the clouds!
The dark, heavy clouds that seemed to press down on the ground like an iron curtain suddenly broke open with a huge circular gap!
The gap rapidly rose upwards, carving out a cylindrical passage through the impenetrable black clouds.
A brilliant ray of sunlight pierced straight through the thick, visible clouds, shining down from the gaping hole and illuminating the Taiji Hall.
However, that's not all!
In the sky, the gap in the thick, dark clouds suddenly began to tremble violently, creating ripples that spread in all directions.
In an instant, a fierce wind howled, and the clouds swirled and unfurled!
This strange phenomenon perfectly illustrated to all the people of Kyoto what it means for the winds to rise and the clouds to change, what it means for the winds to blow away and the clouds to disperse!
Before many people could react, the dark clouds that had been hanging over Kyoto had completely disappeared.
Without the heavy dark clouds, the torrential rain naturally ceased to exist.
The clear blue sky and the blazing sun once again appeared above the entire city of Kyoto.
The warm sunshine has once again descended upon the world.
Standing in front of the Taiji Hall, Li Yuan looked up at the clear sky, and without hesitation stepped through the gate and entered the hall.
The main hall, which was usually used for court meetings, was now empty except for two people at the dragon throne at the far end.
A man dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe sat upright in a chair; it was Emperor Qing.
The other person was an old eunuch with a hunched back, who was none other than Hong Siyang, who had a martial arts cultivation level that surpassed the ninth rank.
Li Yuan's gaze swept past Eunuch Hong and landed directly on Emperor Qing, his voice revealing no emotion:
"Li Yunqian, what else do you have to say?"
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing his dragon-like appearance. His hands, which were originally resting on the armrests on both sides, slowly clenched, and his bright yellow dragon robe fluttered without wind.
……
Meanwhile, in another part of the palace.
Two figures stood facing each other, their postures ramrod straight, staring at each other expressionlessly, as if they were in a standoff.
One of the "people" was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his eyes, and held an iron shovel in his hand.
The other "person" was dressed in coarse, earth-yellow cloth, with a cold gaze, and carried a straight knife in his hand.
