Zhang Meng's long, bushy beard was now soaked in sweat and blood, making him look utterly disheveled.
His nickname was "Little Guan Yu" because of his long, beautiful beard.
But at this moment, he found his long beard an eyesore and wished he could cut it off and fight to the death to escape.
"We don't want the goods anymore. How about you let our Guardians leave?"
At this point, Zhang Meng no longer cared about the reputation of the Imperial Guard and couldn't help but beg for mercy.
Someone sneered, "Is this all the old man Han, the one who castrated the dog, is capable of? You won't get the Youth-Preserving Pearl, and you'll leave your lives here!"
The Eighth Prince, Grand Tutor Cai, and Eunuch Han all harbored deep-seated grudges against each other, and their subordinates frequently fought each other, their hatred running deep.
At this point, how could one possibly give up an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow?
Just as Zhang Meng was in despair, a bright, sharp blade of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
In an instant, blood splattered all over Zhang Meng like waves.
The enemy who was just mocking him was now cut in two with a single stroke!
Yang Sheng flicked the blood off his Imperial Guard saber. An enemy in front of him thrust his longsword repeatedly, and nine sword flowers bloomed before Yang Sheng's eyes, exceptionally beautiful and dazzling.
However, in Yang Sheng's eyes, the sword flower phantom was faintly visible, but the long sword itself was still piercing towards his chest.
"They performed it quite well."
The Imperial Guard's saber slashed horizontally, shattering the longsword in the attacker's hand instantly. He himself was also cut in half at the waist, his blood and intestines spilling onto the ground.
As he fought for supremacy in Dragon City, his blood and energy increased. He also used the Dharma Seal to enhance his spiritual power. Finally, he swallowed Ying Gou's essence blood to strengthen his physical body.
Yang Sheng's physical strength is now astonishing, which is why he can cut a person in two with a single strike, completely overwhelming him with sheer force.
"court death!"
A burly man in armor, wielding a demon-headed decapitation sword, charged forward with a powerful and swift strike, his blade flashing like thunder, a faint blue aura emanating from its edge.
"Thunder Strike!"
Yang Sheng examined the bluish light on the decapitation blade with great interest.
Is this internal energy? Even when used at full power, it still has a faint feeling of being projected outwards?
Although it looks intimidating, the power is somewhat scattered and not concentrated, wasting a portion of the power.
Yang Sheng turned and concealed his blade, gripping the hilt with his left hand. He appeared to be raising the blade upwards, but in reality, his strength pulled the Thunderous Blade to the ground. He then turned and slashed horizontally, the transition as swift as a gazelle hanging by its horns, leaving no trace.
The burly man was horrified and hurriedly raised his knife to defend himself, but was forced back half a step by Yang Sheng's powerful slash.
Yang Sheng changed to gripping the sword with both hands, stepped forward! Strike! Step forward! Strike!
The blows were powerful and continuous, so strong that the burly man's hands were split open, and blood oozed out, but he was helpless.
With a flash of brilliant silver light from the Imperial Guard's saber, the burly man's decapitation sword shattered with a deafening roar!
Break through the enemy lines!
The next moment, he and his sword were cleaved in two with a single blow!
There was a moment of silence in the entire arena.
In these martial arts worlds, it was common for a single sword strike to kill someone's throat or a single slash to behead them; such killings were considered decisive.
But it's extremely rare to see someone like Yang Sheng, who cuts a person in two with a single stroke, making the whole scene look like a slaughterhouse.
Yin Wuxie and Ye Meiniang also looked at Yang Sheng with surprise.
When did our boss become so formidable?
For a moment, they didn't even recognize Yang Sheng anymore; the boss they remembered seemed somewhat unfamiliar.
Only Chen Da looked excited, wielding a thick iron dragon-patterned staff that was as thick as an arm, swinging it up and down and smashing things with great enthusiasm.
Yin Wuxie and Ye Meiniang also reacted and attacked one after another.
Ye Meiniang continuously unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons, including throwing knives, death nails, soul-severing needles, and coin darts, but she was only wearing a long, tight-fitting dress. Heaven knows where she had hidden these weapons.
Yin Wuxie's swordsmanship is insidious and incredibly swift; he never engages in direct confrontation.
But as soon as Yin Wuxie draws his sword, the opponent will inevitably fall to the ground clutching his neck, his throat slit by a single strike.
With Yang Sheng and his three companions taking action, the other two groups were almost instantly routed, with only a few managing to escape thanks to their superior lightness skills.
Yang Sheng didn't chase after him, because there was no need.
Zhang Meng's face was a little pale. He led several subordinates to Yang Sheng and bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you for your help, brothers."
I am Zhang Meng, a captain in the Imperial Guard. I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!
"Lieutenant Zhang, you're too kind. I am Yang Sheng, the head constable of the Thieves' Bureau. It is the duty of our Bureau to protect the security of the capital."
The Imperial Guard is the backbone of the Imperial City's security force under Eunuch Han. Strictly speaking, they are both responsible for protecting the safety of the capital, one inside and one outside.
How can we stand idly by when our colleague is attacked?
Zhang Meng was taken aback. Were those constables from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation? When did these petty officials become so fierce?
"By the way, Captain Zhang, we are all from the martial arts world, but we have long admired Eunuch Han's name."
"You know how thankless and arduous the work is in the Bureau of Bandit Suppression. That's why we've always wanted to serve under Eunuch Han. I wonder if Captain Zhang could introduce us and put in a good word for us with Eunuch Han?"
Yang Sheng was very direct; there's no need to beat around the bush with these kinds of things.
Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Sheng say that.
He had been wondering why the other person had saved him, and he didn't believe any of that nonsense about being a colleague.
Now that Yang Sheng had revealed his true intentions, Zhang Meng felt relieved.
"Officer Yang, you're too kind. I can still say a few words to Eunuch Han, so an introduction won't be a problem."
