Tianguang County, the governor's residence, atop a tall building.
A figure looked down over the city from a high vantage point.
The man was none other than Yuan Muzhi, the governor of Tianguang County.
Looking down from the high-rise buildings, the streets are illuminated by twinkling lights.
Amidst all this light, there is one street completely shrouded in darkness.
There was no light there, only deathly silence.
The name Li Fan only came to light not long ago.
Yuan Muzhi knew that as long as this young man lived, he would surely soar to great heights.
But he never expected that day would come so suddenly.
It happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.
He was like a knife, cutting through the rules that shrouded Tianguang County.
Nowadays, the martial arts world, the imperial court, and powerful clans all want to break this sword!
This is reality; he can't escape it!
"Such a young man, how wonderful it would be if I could recruit him into my ranks sooner!"
Yuan Muzhi sighed.
Now, that's impossible.
With Li Fan dead, all is well.
As long as Li Fan lives, no one can stop him, and no one can subdue him.
But is that even possible?
His opponents were the powerful and influential figures of the entire Tianguang County.
Thump!
Ta-da!
......
Footsteps sounded, and a burly figure strode upstairs.
Tian Guangwei Commander Yun Haihe knelt on one knee and saluted: "Lord Yuan, Hai Wuyun, deputy commander of the South City Guard, and Wang Tongguan, deputy commander of the North City Guard, have each led their elite troops out of the camp. Should we recall them?"
"Ignore them!"
Yuan Muzhi did not want to stop it.
Over the years, he has maintained a close and harmonious relationship with both the Wang and Hai families.
No matter how the two families fight, they will not interfere with him.
He naturally wouldn't interfere with those two families.
In any case, those two guards were the private armies of the two major families, from top to bottom.
"Yes, sir!"
"Your subordinates will continue to garrison the area!"
After Yun Haihe finished speaking, he immediately went downstairs.
During this special period, he naturally dared not slack off.
After all, the residences of the Prefect of Zhenwu County and the Governor of He County were located together.
If we don't set up defenses, someone will inevitably take advantage of the chaos.
Inside the prefectural governor's mansion, squads of soldiers, clad in armor and armed with weapons, patrolled.
In the darkness, high above, archers lay in ambush.
......
It's here!
From the top of the pavilion, Yuan Muzhi peeked out and looked into the distance.
In the darkness, the fire serpent surged forward.
The thunderous sound of hooves carried a murderous aura.
The Shahe Gang, the Zidian Sword Sect, the Wang family, and the Hai family have all made their moves!
The four major forces converged on Li Fan from four directions.
Even Yuan Muzhi was terrified by the sheer size of the procession.
If the four forces were to unite, he would have no chance of establishing himself in this city.
Li Fan has no way out.
Yuan Mu sighed inwardly.
......
On a rooftop in the direction Li Fan was heading.
Two figures landed.
"These four major powers have no shame whatsoever!"
Jiang Xue frowned slightly as she watched the large army surrounding her from all directions.
"Even a lion will exert its full strength when hunting a rabbit."
"This is the world of martial arts!"
Jiang Wei looked down calmly.
Any force that can dominate a region has emerged from bloodshed and turmoil.
Their rise was accompanied by the destruction of established powers.
No one is stupid enough to get this far.
The four major powers will not underestimate Li Fan just because he is alone.
Making such a grand display is to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
......
The once quiet street was trampled by horses' hooves.
The flames illuminated everything in all directions.
The martial arts practitioners who had been hiding in the darkness and dared not make a sound began to peek out.
"That's Sha Tongtian, the leader of the Shahe Gang!"
"Not only him, but all four other eighth-rank Sky-Soaring members of the Shahe Gang have also appeared!"
"The leaders of the Hai family are Third Master Hai and Hai Wuyun, the deputy general of the South City Guard."
"Second Master Wang of the Wang family and Wang Tongguan, the deputy commander of the North City Guard, have also arrived."
"Vice Sect Master of the Purple Lightning Sword Sect..."
Exclamations of surprise rang out.
The martial arts practitioners who survived the ordeal were all terrified by this terrifying lineup.
"If Li Fan doesn't die this time, I'm retiring from the martial world!"
"This is terrifying. The four major powers of Tianguang County are simultaneously targeting a young man in his early twenties."
"Even if Li Fan, the One-Sword Swordsman, dies, his name will be known throughout the thirteen states of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"My God, they didn't attack immediately, but instead chose to use crossbows at the same time!"
"With a barrage of arrows, Li Fan is likely to be riddled with holes!"
The warhorses came to a halt, and the sound of wind breaking through the dark night sky echoed continuously.
The maximum killing range of a crossbow is one kilometer.
The four major forces, with nearly three thousand crossbows, fired simultaneously within a range of seven hundred meters.
The dense barrage of arrows transformed into a canopy of sky, pressing down upon the enemy.
Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh!
......
The arrows fell like raindrops on banana leaves, constantly hitting the ground.
The bluestone floor was shattered by crossbow bolts.
The mud flew everywhere, and Li Fan's steps came to a complete stop.
He swung his long sword and drew a circle in front of him.
A series of dark blade energies severed the arrows.
Even those that occasionally slip through the net are blocked by the indestructible body.
"put!"
The first round of shooting took only a breath.
In the darkness, the sound of wind breaking could be heard again.
A dense swarm of crossbow bolts rained down from the sky once more.
Round three!
The fourth round.
......
Ten volleys of arrows rained down, and where Li Fan stood, the interwoven arrows piled up into a small mountain.
"Rocket!"
At Sha Tongtian's command, the specially made flaming arrows were ignited.
Duh!
Duh!
Duh!
The bowstring was pulled, and the rockets were launched in unison.
"Everyone, be on alert!"
Sha Tongtian looked ahead with a solemn expression.
He did not underestimate Li Fan, nor did he think that these arrows could kill him.
All he wanted was to deplete Li Fan's internal energy.
No matter how abundant a person's vital energy is, it is always limited.
Even if Li Fan brought the pills, it would take time for them to take effect.
Human wave tactics can wear down a martial artist.
If you can't wear them down, it's only because there aren't enough people.
boom!
Amidst the raging flames, a path was cleaved open by the flash of a blade.
As soon as Li Fan rushed out, he began to accelerate.
The fleeting shadow was launched with full force, without any deviation or retreat.
All of his true energy was used for acceleration.
In an instant, he unleashed a sonic boom with his physical body.
Upon seeing this, Sha Tongtian thrust his long sword forward.
"Discard the crossbows, charge!"
The thunderous sound of hooves echoed as the Shahe Gang members charged forward.
At the very front, there was an arrowhead formed by five people flying through the air.
Following them, thirty seventh-rank martial artists unleashed their innate qi.
Behind them, five hundred elite members of the Shahe Gang simultaneously channeled their inner energy.
Using the momentum of the horse, the man transformed into a torrent that crashed into Li Fan.
laugh!
The glint of a blade flashed in the darkness.
The pitch-black blade energy descended like an axe splitting the heavens and earth.
With the support of the massive amount of true qi accumulated through the Long Qi Technique and the Mountain Shaking Fist.
This Blood Burning Blade technique became extremely terrifying.
Almost the instant Li Fan drew his sword.
Sha Tongtian immediately sensed a deadly crisis.
A martial artist's intuition warns him.
If I try to hold out, I'll die!
He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Fan.
He was afraid just as the two were about to make contact!
With a surge of true energy, Sha Tongtian, riding on horseback, soared into the air.
Almost the instant he flew out, Liu Mou, Meng Fan, He Qian, and Chen Qing made the same choice.
Li Fan was focused and paid no attention to them.
With a swift movement, the knife fell.
A straight ravine stretches into the distance across the land.
The first horses caught in the blade's energy were blasted to pieces before they even had a chance to scream.
Next up were the seventh-grade innate martial artists in the second queue.
The originally indestructible innate qi was as fragile as an eggshell at this moment.
The five innate beings located in the path of the sword energy had their protective auras broken at the same time.
The blade's energy continued forward, cleaving men and horses in two wherever it passed.
At this moment, the five people in the sky all looked terrified.
With a single strike, Li Fan pierced through the formation of five hundred elite warriors from the Shahe Gang.
The team, which had originally been like a fiery serpent, was split in two.
The gushing blood poured onto the torch, making a hissing sound.
"Gulp!"
Liu Mou swallowed hard, looking at Sha Tongtian with a terrified expression, "Chief, we..."
"We haven't lost yet!"
Sha Tongtian looked down with a fierce expression.
The four major factions, along with more than two thousand people.
Even if you pile them up, you can still crush Li Fan.
