The two swordsmen launched a fierce attack on the coachman.
The female swordsman's sword was incredibly masculine and indestructible, crackling loudly as it clashed with the horsewhip.
But to everyone's surprise, the swordsman disappeared in the center of the battlefield, leaving no trace of him.
This sudden change surprised everyone; they hadn't expected the two martial arts couple's moves to be so peculiar.
Even so, the coachman remained unmoved, his whip swirling wildly in his hand like a coiled snake.
They might pounce suddenly, or they might abruptly retreat to defend.
Even Ye Yi, inside the carriage, couldn't help but nod in approval as he watched the coachman's battle.
"Hehe, the elders really have a wealth of talent under their command. I even think I don't need to protect the Prime Minister anymore," Ye Yi said, shaking his head slightly.
“Young friend, there’s no need to be modest. This coachman was someone I saved by chance. Actually, I didn’t want him to get involved, but he kept refusing. If necessary, I’ll ask you to help him out.” The Prime Minister said hesitantly.
It was obvious to Li Yuanhuai that although the coachman currently had the upper hand, his chances of winning were very low.
After hearing Li Yuanhuai's words, Ye Yi nodded slightly and said softly.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely try to save him."
Ye Yi then remained silent, instead watching the two combatants with a solemn expression.
Gradually, the coachman's whip movements became more and more forceful, leaving many openings wide open. Everyone frowned, but the female swordsman smiled.
The smile immediately made the coachman feel uneasy. He quickly retracted his whip, coiled it around himself, and formed a protective layer around his body.
Ding~ Ding~
Two loud colliding sounds.
Between the swords of the female and male swordsmen, the female swordsman's sword thrust straight at the front, while the male swordsman's sword thrust from the driver's blind spot.
The coachman used the special properties of his horsewhip to block the blow for him.
Seeing that his attack had missed, the male swordsman disappeared from the center of the battlefield once again. As for the female swordsman, she immediately sheathed her longsword, held it horizontally in front of her, and looked at the coachman with a solemn expression.
The whip loosened its grip, and the coachman appeared before everyone's eyes, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
It seems that although the two swords did not pierce the coachman's body, the sword light must have damaged his internal organs.
Everyone couldn't help but think this way; clearly, the fact that the driver had been injured was somewhat unbelievable to everyone.
"Good cooperation," the driver praised, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Your weapon is not bad either," the female swordsman said softly again.
The coachman did not respond to the female swordsman, but turned and slowly walked towards the carriage.
At that moment, everyone noticed a pool of blood slowly flowing behind the driver.
It was clear that the male swordsman had pierced the coachman's body.
However, exposing his back to the female swordsman like this made everyone wonder if he wasn't afraid she would draw her sword and attack.
Judging from the female swordsman's swordsmanship, this thrust would definitely kill the coachman on the spot.
However, the female swordsman's swordsmanship was full of sunshine, so her personality was also upright. Therefore, she did not ambush the coachman when he turned around, but calmly watched what he wanted to do.
The coachman slowly walked to the front of the carriage, knelt down in front of Li Yuanhuai, and said in a sorrowful tone.
"Master, I may not be able to accompany you on your journey from now on. Please take care of yourself."
After saying that, he kowtowed several times.
Li Yuanhuai, sitting in the carriage, sighed sadly and said...
“I’m an old man, why do you still risk your lives for me? If they want it, let them have it. Why hurt so many people?”
The driver did not respond, but walked to the carriage and slowly took out a weapon wrapped in gauze.
He turned and walked up to the female swordsman.
"I have lived for five hundred years, half of which have been spent in slaughter. It was only after meeting my master that I was able to live a few peaceful days. I am not reconciled," the coachman said with some sorrow.
Then the gauze in their hands tore open, and everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Because inside the gauze was a stick, an extremely ordinary wooden stick.
"Bloody Hand Monk," the female swordsman slowly uttered.
This Blood-Handed Monk was a martial arts master, or rather, a martial arts assassin, from the previous generation of the female swordsman. His most famous achievement was successfully killing an immortal being.
It's important to understand that the difference between the Immortal Realm and the Life and Death Realm is vast. The fact that the Blood-Handed Staff Monk was able to kill an Immortal Realm being while only at the Life and Death Realm level is truly astonishing.
However, after the Staff Monk killed the Immortal Realm expert, he disappeared from the martial arts world. At the time, many people believed that the Staff Monk was seriously injured and did not survive.
I never imagined that I would be taken in as a coachman by this prime minister.
"This old man's staff has not appeared in the martial arts world for a long time. I think this time it will be his swan song," the coachman said sadly.
After saying that, he suddenly thrust an ordinary wooden stick at the female swordsman.
Yes, it's a stab, not a hit.
It thrust out like a spear.
Clang! The wooden stick and the longsword collided, producing a loud metallic clanging sound.
But everyone was stunned. The longsword, which was as hard as steel, began to bend. It actually bent under the attack of a wooden stick.
This change was unexpected by everyone.
Ding~~~
The longsword slowly bent, and the male swordsman finally couldn't resist making a move, breaking the stalemate between the two.
The moment the blade broke open, the female swordswoman was forced back, her hand gripping the sword trembling uncontrollably.
"Finally out." A cruel smile crept onto the coachman's lips; at this moment, he truly revealed himself as a renowned assassin in the martial arts world.
The long staff wielded with ferocious power in his hands, and the countless shadows of the staff created a strong sense of crisis for them.
The couple knew that if the wooden stick touched them even once, they would be seriously injured on the spot, so they were on high alert.
"Not enough, not enough, not enough!" The coachman attacked frantically, blood streaming uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
The couple was finding it increasingly difficult to cope. Although all three of them were clearly on the verge of reaching the Immortal Realm, the coachman was now relentlessly suppressing the two opponents of the same level.
Even under such pressure, the driver became increasingly aggressive, to the point that the two men were finding it difficult to defend themselves.
Bang! The wooden stick slammed down, sending the two men flying.
"Hoo~~ Not bad~" the driver panted, praising, but his eyes still revealed a crazy killing intent.
"Continue." Although the two were sent flying by the wooden sticks, they were not seriously injured, so they were still able to continue fighting.
The three fought each other again.
Watching the three fighting fiercely, Ye Yi suddenly sighed.
"It's about to end."
These words made Li Yuanhuai glance at him sideways.
As Ye Yi finished speaking, the driver suddenly thrust out the wooden stick in his hand, like a long spear.
The male swordsman's eyes lit up, and he immediately thrust out his soft sword, but the next moment, he regretted it.
Because if the coachman made such a huge mistake, it would definitely kill the female swordsman.
The wind rustled the trees gently, and the clouds in the sky were thin.
The coachman's wooden stick stopped a centimeter from the female swordsman's throat. If it had gone any further, the female swordsman would have surely perished. Her eyes were filled with despair and lingering fear, and even tears welled up in them.
However, looking at the coachman again, it was discovered that the male swordsman's sword had already pierced the coachman's neck, and blood was slowly flowing down the short sword.
The male swordsman, however, did not feel happy; instead, he slowly turned his head away in despair and terror.
He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the female swordsman was unharmed.
"Waaah~~" The male swordsman quickly ran to the female swordsman's side and hugged her tightly.
It was only then that everyone noticed that the male swordsman was mute.
The female swordsman reassured the male swordsman, then put down her weapon and respectfully addressed the carriage where the prime minister was.
"Thank you, monk, for sparing my life. If I had died, he would never have remained in this world."
"Take my life if you must. There's no need for further bloodshed," Li Yuanhuai said sorrowfully.
"The Prime Minister's men spared our lives, but we are actually ungrateful. We will take our leave now." After saying this, the female swordsman cupped her hands and then immediately fled with the male swordsman.
"It seems I'll be driving next," Ye Yi suddenly laughed, then got up and walked to the driver's seat, slowly driving the carriage.
Those hiding in the shadows saw Ye Yi driving the carriage and were immediately filled with hesitation, because Ye Yi was too mysterious, so mysterious that even now they were still unsure of his existence.
Although Ye Yi appears to be an ordinary person, no one dares to underestimate his charisma and network of connections.
After all, there aren't many people who can easily summon Daoist Cangyan and who are fearless in the face of Empress Beiyou's imposing aura.
Ye Yi indeed stood on both sides.
The carriage slowly made its way down the road once again.
The male and female swordsmen, swords in hand, ran frantically through the forest, but the terror on their faces told them that someone was hunting them down.
Finally, the two stopped in a canyon. It wasn't that they didn't want to run anymore, but the scene before them stunned them.
The old man, who could originally create three clones, was found dead in the canyon.
He lay on the ground, his body separated from his body.
Meanwhile, the limbs, head, and body parts fell to the ground in scattered pieces.
These scenes filled their expressions with terror.
If you look closely, you'll find scattered fishing lines lying around, but these lines are covered in blood.
"Tsk, you people, how come you all choose the exact same death spots? This makes it very troublesome for me to clean up." A sharp voice rang out, causing the two to tremble in fear.
With a whoosh, countless sharp weapons ripped through the sky, and the two who were once unparalleled in combat power were instantly cut into pieces and fell to the ground.
"Let's clean this place up. These good-for-nothings dare to disobey me. Aren't they courting death?" A sharp voice echoed through the jungle.
…………
The carriage slowly drove along the road. Ye Yi calmly looked around and found that there was no one around, which made him feel bored.
At this moment, a gunman wearing a straw hat appeared in front of Ye Yi.
"Why is this person here?"
"This is troublesome. Why weren't they keeping an eye on him over there?"
"Yeah, how are we supposed to make a move? Isn't that just courting death?"
"I want to stop."
"I don't want to get involved anymore. It's too much trouble."
After the gunman appeared, the people in the shadows couldn't help but communicate with each other using their spiritual senses.
Regardless of the circumstances, it demonstrates that this gun is an extremely powerful weapon.
"Elder," Ye Yi called softly.
"What's wrong?" Li Yuanhuai asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Looks like it's time for me to get behind the wheel," Ye Yi said softly.
"who?"
“The sharpshooter Li Wenshu,” Ye Yi said calmly.
Even though Ye Yi wasn't from this world, and even though he had only recently entered this world, he knew this person's name.
This person was so famous throughout the Central Plains that he was known as "the Sixth Supreme in the World" and "Divine Spear Li Wenshu" by the people of the Central Plains.
Ye Yi still keeps such masters and players with supreme hope in his heart.
After all, if the world wants to return to its former glory, remembering these people is an inescapable duty.
"Sigh, have all the clerks arrived? What's going on?" Li Yuanhuai sighed in dissatisfaction.
"Sir, the clerk has come to see you."
The carriage slowly came to a stop, and Li Wenshu immediately stood up, holding his spear, and said...
Li Wenshu is the pride of the entire Central Plains, and the Central Plains is not just home to the Xia Kingdom.
Therefore, Li Wenshu's appearance made those who wanted to assassinate Li Yuanhuai hesitate.
Li Wenshu calmly walked to the driver's seat of the carriage, glanced at Ye Yi, and gestured for Ye Yi to go to the carriage first, while he would drive.
Upon seeing this, Ye Yi nodded slightly and then stepped back into the carriage.
Finally, Li Yuanhuai spoke up.
“Writing, why are you doing this? Provoking the Xia Kingdom will not do you any good.”
"Haha, the name of my document was given to me by you, sir. My father and you are also close friends. If I didn't come, heaven and earth would not forgive me. However, if the Xia Kingdom comes, I will defeat them with a single spear." Li Wenshu said with great pride.
No one found anything wrong with Li Wenshu's words, because in this world where the supreme being is the pinnacle, Li Wenshu possessed the strength of a peak Venerable, a level of existence that was absolutely unimaginable to ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Wenshu truly possesses such confidence and ability.
"Sigh." Li Yuanhuai sighed and then fell silent.
However, Li Yuanhuai also knew that once Li Wenshu took over the driving, no one would dare to come looking for trouble.
Even if they weren't afraid of Li Yuanhuai's reputation, Li Wenshu's fighting prowess alone would be enough to terrify these people.
The carriage slowly moved forward once again, but this time the road it traveled on was so smooth that the previous bumps and potholes had obviously disappeared.
Even the slightly larger stones on the road have disappeared. It's unclear whether this is just people's imagination or if it's actually true.
