Chapter 511 - 142: You’ve Caught Him! What Right Do You Have to Threaten Me?
"Damn it!"
Right now, Lu Yuan had completely lost the confidence he had before.
His face was starting to turn anxious.
With Si Nan, Shi Sheng, and Feng Feiyi teaming up, Lu Yuan was getting beaten back step by step, wounds appearing all over him.
He wanted to fight back, but he didn’t even have the chance.
"You only know how to gang up on others. What kind of heroes are you? If you’ve got balls, let’s go one-on-one!"
They were all at the Postnatal Martial Artist level, and if it was a duel, Lu Yuan didn’t think he’d lose to these people.
But if they joined forces, he really couldn’t beat them.
"We’re Embroidered Uniform Guard. When have you ever heard anyone call the Embroidered Uniform Guard ’heroes’?"
Hearing Lu Yuan say that, Si Nan shrugged, his tone completely unconcerned.
"..."
Honestly, that was impossible to refute.
In the underworld, there’s always been talk of the Embroidered Uniform Guard being the hounds of the imperial court. Their reputation has never been good, and you really never hear anyone praise them.
"But if you really insist on having a duel, well, that’s not impossible!"
As he spoke, Si Nan and Shi Sheng both looked at Feng Feiyi.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t beat Lu Yuan—just that it would take a bit of time.
But if Feng Feiyi did it, everything would get resolved a whole lot faster.
He’d thought they’d never agree, so when they really did, Lu Yuan felt a burst of joy. But that happiness didn’t last long—his expression froze quickly.
All because...
Lu Yuan saw it.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard who’d only looked postnatal before suddenly erupted with the kind of inner strength fluctuation only Innate Martial Artists had.
"Y-you’re Innate!"
Seeing that, Lu Yuan was stunned.
What the hell?
Weren’t we supposed to all be Postnatal Martial Artists—how did someone suddenly become Innate?
Facing Lu Yuan’s disbelief, Feng Feiyi just replied casually.
"I only broke through by sheer luck. If you want a duel, I’ll be your opponent!"
With that—
Feng Feiyi waved her hands, adopting a fighting stance.
"..."
When Lu Yuan saw that, he really didn’t know what to say.
Are they looking down on me, or what?
Lu Yuan wasn’t cocky enough to think he could defeat an Innate Martial Artist with postnatal cultivation.
"Who says I want to fight you one-on-one? If you’re so tough, pick another!"
No way this whole Embroidered Uniform Guard crew is all Innate Martial Artists, right?
But—
Lu Yuan’s demands were never going to be met.
"You want a duel, be glad you even get one. And you want to pick? Get him!"
Si Nan shot Lu Yuan a glare, annoyed. Seriously, did he not realize how things were going right now?
You’re lucky they even let you have a duel, and you want to choose an opponent?
What, the perfect outcome is supposed to land in your lap? No more nonsense—he just pointed at Feng Feiyi.
And before Lu Yuan could say more, Feng Feiyi got right down to business. The gap in cultivation was just too big. Lu Yuan sensed trouble, but his body couldn’t keep up.
He couldn’t match Feng Feiyi’s moves.
All he could do was defend passively.
In the end, he was blasted away in one blow.
"Bang!"
At this moment, the most clueless were the water bandits Lu Yuan had dragged along.
They’d thought things were screwed, then their boss revealed an Innate Martial Artist trump card.
They’d thought they were about to win, but it turned out the Embroidered Uniform Guard had even stronger folks in their ranks.
Watching their boss get knocked flying again, these underlings looked almost numb, lost on what to do—whether moving or standing still, they were stuck.
All they could do was stand there, dumbstruck.
Too bad for them—
While they were stunned, the Embroidered Uniform Guard sure wasn’t going to just stand there gawking.
"Kill!"
Ye Liuyun wasn’t about to waste breath on this bunch of small fry.
He just waved his hand, unconcerned.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard around him didn’t hesitate for a second after hearing Ye Liuyun’s order. They drew their blades together, charging straight at the water bandits.
If you’ve chosen to be a water bandit, making a living by pillage and murder, then you’d best be ready for the day someone cuts you down.
"Leave none alive!"
The County Magistrate, who’d been trailing nervously to the side,
let out a silent, easy sigh of relief when Ye Liuyun said not a single bandit would be spared.
Same as always—if the water bandits all died, no one would ever know about his deals with them to loot merchant ships. He’d keep his County Magistrate post.
Even if he’d lost one way to make money—
As long as the office was safe, he’d find other ways to fill his pockets.
...
"Kill!"
Dealing with these small fry—
The Embroidered Uniform Guard didn’t even need to use any Evil Qi links; they could just charge in and slaughter.
They were just a bunch of small fry with no cultivation to speak of. Maybe there were a lot of them, but for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who were all martial artists, numbers didn’t matter one bit.
They wouldn’t even get scratched.
Most of them were ordinary people, but every now and then someone would have a pretty decent Talent Entry.
Ye Liuyun hardly minded—he’d scoop them all up without a moment’s pause.
Some even carried a mage’s talent.
But like always, no matter how outstanding some people’s talent, if no one discovers you, that talent will stay buried and wasted for a lifetime.
