Chapter 179: Capturing the Beautiful Hong Mu! Seizing the Talisman General Red Armor! (13)

Jin City, Mei Xian Courtyard.

"Your Highness, save me!"

"Brothers of the Fushui Bureau, I'm here!"

"Get me out of here, I'll flay Li Chang'an alive!"

Chu Lushan heard the earth-shattering sounds of battle outside the Mei Xian Courtyard and immediately became excited.

The voices calling out to him all had familiar Northern Liang accents.

They were his direct subordinates from the army, coming to rescue him.

On the roof of the Mei Xian Courtyard, Han Diaosi, Human Cat's expression was cold.

Looking at these Northern Liang soldiers, who were like ants coming to their deaths, he couldn't understand.

After finally catching Chu Lushan with a handle, how could the imperial court not keep a close watch on Chu Lushan?

He had already prepared two thousand ambushes, precisely to guard against anyone coming to rescue Chu Lushan.

How could Xu Xiao be so foolish as to send these ordinary army soldiers to rescue him?

Han Diaosi, Human Cat had prepared to deal with experts; he thought Xu Xiao's personal guard, Han Laoshan, would come.

The world didn't know about Northern Liang's nuclear weapon, Xu Yanbing, but they knew Han Laoshan.

Han Diaosi, Human Cat's red silk shot out, easily killing three Second-Rank Hawk-Wolves.

"Hiss... Is that all?"

Although thousands of Northern Liang soldiers had arrived, it was impossible for them to rescue Chu Lushan.

His opponent tonight left him somewhat lonely.

He couldn't have imagined that Xu Xiao had also predicted that the imperial court would not kill Chu Lushan.

As long as Xu Xiao did not agree to the imperial court's terms, Chu Lushan's life would not be in danger.

Therefore, Xu Xiao allowed Xu Fengnian to organize people to rescue Chu Lushan.

These people before him were merely a small price for Xu Fengnian's tempering.

Tang Royal Mansion.

Hearing Zhao Kai's words, Xu Weibear was speechless.

Were she and Zhao Kai very familiar?

She thought long and hard but didn't feel they were that familiar.

"Zhao Kai?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Why do I need you to save me?"

Hearing Xu Weibear's words, Zhao Kai's face immediately turned ashen.

Could it be that he held such little importance in Xu Weibear's heart?

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the air!

"Bang!"

Li Chang'an blasted out a palm, a faint golden light emanating from his body, and a faint Dragon roar could be heard as he struck.

As the roar erupted, a golden Dragon shadow flew out from Li Chang'an's hand.

The majestic Dragon-Elephant Internal Energy surged forth with this palm strike!

Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Flying Dragon in the Sky!

Then, Earth Armor's body began to crack, and immediately shattered into pieces!

Zhao Kai was shocked and let out a shrill cry.

"No!"

His Master had given him five Red Armor, and in an instant, one was broken.

How could he explain this to his Master?

What Li Chang'an destroyed was the Second-Rank Earth Armor.

Zhao Kai never expected the Talisman General Red Armor to be so fragile.

Li Chang'an looked at the cracked Talisman General Red Armor and thought of their origin.

Fifty years ago, there were Four Grandmasters in the world.

Sword God Li Chungang, Fengdu Old Ancestor Green Robe, Talisman General Red Armor Ye Hongting, and Spear Immortal King Xiu.

Just a few years ago, Ye Hongting, who hailed from Southern Tang, assassinated the old Emperor Zhao Chun and was captured by Han Diaosi, Human Cat.

The ruthless Han Diaosi, Human Cat stripped off Ye Hongting's Talisman General Red Armor, along with his skin.

The flayed Ye Hongting was even hung in front of the Imperial Palace in Tai'an City for public display.

Han Diaosi, Human Cat's notorious reputation spread from then on.

Later, he refined this set of Red Armor, turning them into five Red Armor corresponding to the Five Elements.

The strongest, the Jin Jia (Metal Armor), had Peak First-Rank Vajra Realm strength, capable of resisting the other four armor with its single armor's power.

The Shui Jia (Water Armor) was second, with Middle Stage Vajra Realm strength.

The Fire Armor, Wooden Armor, and Earth Armor were weaker, only possessing Second-Rank strength.

With this set of Dao Artifact by his side, Zhao Kai essentially had three Second-Rank and two First-Rank experts protecting him.

This showed how highly Han Diaosi, Human Cat regarded Zhao Kai.

It was precisely because he knew all this that Zhao Kai's heart was now aching as if pierced by a knife!

The gift from his Master hadn't even warmed up in his hands!

And one was already shattered!

While Zhao Kai was heartbroken, the Scarlet Chi Sword pierced through the chest of the last black-clad man, and all the black-clad men died.

"Your Highness, all the Fushui Bureau Hawk-Wolves are dead."

Xu Weibear stood beside Li Chang'an, her words full of tenderness.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Kai's insides churned, and his eyes blazed with fury!

There was no need to ask anything more; he understood everything now.

Xu Weibear's gaze towards Li Chang'an was passionate; the rumors outside were all true.

Originally, Zhao Kai only wanted to use the Talisman General Red Armor to break into the Royal Mansion and get to the bottom of things.

However, now that he knew the truth, he couldn't accept the facts.

Because he was going mad with jealousy!

"You adulterous couple!"

Although Zhao Kai was an illegitimate imperial prince who couldn't be acknowledged, he had always held himself in high regard.

A wise man had told him that he, Zhao Kai, carried great Luck!

Before his mother gave birth to him, she dreamt that the sky opened several zhang, and four Celestials arrived, holding the sun!

When he was born, a red sun appeared at night, and red light enveloped the room!

Therefore, Zhao Kai firmly believed that he had the hope of becoming the Supreme ruler!

He angrily shouted, "My surname is Zhao! I am a descendant of the Heavenly Family!"

"Li Chang'an, what right do you have to contend with me!"

"You two... go to hell!"

Zhao Kai's voice suddenly erupted, startling the soldiers inside and outside the Royal Mansion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Then, four more Talisman General Red Armor descended from the sky!

Zhao Kai was too enraged; he wanted to kill Li Chang'an and Xu Weibear.

Because in his eyes, these two had insulted his character and dignity.

Immediately after, a blue-glowing Red Armor suddenly charged towards Xu Weibear.

The First-Rank Vajra Realm Shui Jia (Water Armor)!

Charging at Li Chang'an were the Fire Armor and Wooden Armor!

The Fire Armor opened its mouth and spewed flames, while the Wooden Armor extended vines from its hands!

Li Chang'an moved like a ghost, instantly covering dozens of zhang!

Just at this moment, Zhao Kai suddenly felt a chill from behind him!

"Bang!"

Cao Zhengchun's decades of virgin cultivation skill, a palm strike, landed on the strongest Jin Jia (Metal Armor)!

Although Zhao Kai was agitated, his mind was still clear, and he kept the last Jin Jia (Metal Armor) for self-defense.

Because he knew he had great Luck protecting him, he cherished his life greatly.

If he didn't have the powerful Talisman General Red Armor, he wouldn't have dared to break into the Tang Royal Mansion.

The strength of this Jin Jia (Metal Armor) was equivalent to the other four armor, and its defense was extremely powerful.

"Where did this little brat come from, daring to act wildly in the Tang Royal Mansion!"

Cao Zhengchun struck the Jin Jia (Metal Armor) with his palm and immediately gauged its strength.

But for him, a Peak Zhi Xuan Realm expert, two more palm strikes would shatter this Jin Jia (Metal Armor).

Currently, Cao Zhengchun's strength was no less than Han Diaosi, Human Cat's.

Zhao Kai's mind raced; he realized the Tang Royal Mansion was a den of Dragons and tigers.

Li Chang'an was First-Rank Vajra Realm, and Cao Zhengchun was First-Rank Zhi Xuan Realm!

In this situation, his Talisman General Red Armor was probably no match!

Although Li Chang'an was in the Early Stage Vajra Realm, his True Qi was extremely powerful.

At this moment, he was using the Dragon Grasping Skill against two Talisman General Red Armor, and he held a distinct advantage.

The Dragon Grasping Skill was originally a top-tier capturing divine skill, and against inanimate Red Armor, it was even more formidable.

"Bang!"

Li Chang'an grabbed a Red Armor and then struck it with a palm, completely knocking it down.

This was the second Red Armor to be knocked down; the Red Armor scattered, revealing the corpses inside.

It's over!

In that instant, Zhao Kai knew his chance to live was fleeting.

While the Jin Jia (Metal Armor) could still block Cao Zhengchun, he had to escape immediately!

However, the newly acquired five Talisman General Red Armor were about to fall into Li Chang'an's hands.

He lost his wife and got his soldiers killed!

He had only just acquired them a few days ago; how could he tell his Master? Perhaps he should just flee back to the Academy.

Watching Cao Zhengchun's second palm strike hit the Jin Jia (Metal Armor), the strongest Jin Jia (Metal Armor) directly lost a piece of its armor.

Zhao Kai said nothing, turned, and disappeared into the fighting soldiers.

Saving his life was the priority!

"What an inauspicious start!"

"However, my life is more valuable than Li Chang'an's!"

"I, Zhao Kai, must prioritize the great cause! I won't bother with them!"

"I mustn't let that adulterous couple disturb my mind!"

Subsequently, Cao Zhengchun completely shattered the Jin Jia (Metal Armor) with a palm, and Li Chang'an also disabled the remaining Red Armor.

On the ground lay the armor of five Talisman General Red Armor.

Once the armor separated from the corpses inside, the Talisman General Red Armor were completely Waste.

These Red Armor were inscribed with Buddhist and Daoist talismans, as well as Confucian cloud patterns.

It wasn't easy to decipher them immediately, but once deciphered, they could be reused.

At that time, one would only need to find suitable corpses with the right cultivation to reuse the Talisman General Red Armor.

If one could obtain the corpse of a First-Rank expert, the strength of the Talisman General Red Armor would be much higher than in Zhao Kai's hands!

Thus, Li Chang'an put these four Talisman General Red Armor into the System space.

"Old Cao, go help the Yongzhou Army resist the Northern Liang soldiers."

The Northern Liang soldiers had extremely strong Battle Intent, and with the thought of avenging Chu Lushan, they all wanted to break into the Tang Royal Mansion.

In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of people had already died on both sides!

With Cao Zhengchun's addition, the Yongzhou Army's combat power instantly surged!

The Ninth-Rank to First-Rank of a Martial Artist was measured by the number of armor broken.

Armor referred to standardized iron plate armor, with two layers, front and back.

Damaging armor without breaking it was the Lower Three Ranks!

Breaking fewer than six armor was the Middle Three Ranks!

Breaking eight or nine armor was the Upper Three Ranks!

In fact, at the First-Rank Realm, one could break around a hundred armor!

The strongest First-Rank Terrestrial Deity could break over a thousand armor!

The disguised Northern Liang soldiers wore no armor, so they were killed even faster.

Just like Cao Zhengchun, when he charged into the enemy ranks, one palm strike could knock down dozens of people!

If he hadn't considered his allies and if the Northern Liang soldiers weren't too dense, he could have killed even more.

"Your Highness, your concubine will also go help!"

Now, Xu Weibear couldn't help but grit her teeth when she saw the Northern Liang soldiers.

Her Second-Rank cultivation also made her a great help when she charged into the enemy ranks.

"Go, but be careful."

Xu Weibear received the order, holding the Scarlet Chi Sword, and rushed out.

However, after only a dozen zhang, a red shadow suddenly flashed in the air.

An extremely fast figure in red charged towards Xu Weibear.

Li Chang'an had good eyesight and saw clearly: an graceful figure in red, holding two short blades.

A First-Rank expert!

Name: Hong Mu / Jin She

Age: 16 years old

Realm: First-rank Martial Artist (Pseudo-Vajra Realm, Pseudo-Zhi Xuan Realm)

Talent: Management (First-Rank), Socializing (Second-Rank), Martial Dao (Second-Rank)

Abilities: Management (Third-Rank), Socializing (First-Rank), Assassination (Fourth-Rank), Disguise (Fourth-Rank)

Affection: 10

Hong Mu, who was originally Hong Shu, destined to be Xu Fengnian's maid.

Because of her natural body fragrance and graceful, enchanting figure, she was trained to be a bed-warming maid.

In the original work, Hong Shu's Realm was "Pseudo-Vajra, Pseudo-Zhi Xuan, enough to kill."

Vajra, Zhi Xuan, and Heavenly Elephant all had pseudo-Realms.

Generally, this was caused by experts falling in Realm due to severe injuries or flaws in their mental state.

However, Hong Shu cultivated to this Realm due to a unique Cultivation Technique.

Entering a pseudo-Realm had a major drawback: it would be very difficult to make further Breakthroughs in the future.

A standalone Pseudo-Vajra Realm was equivalent to Peak Second-Rank, still a bit short of First-Rank.

However, simultaneously possessing Pseudo-Vajra and Pseudo-Zhi Xuan strength was enough to contend with a First-Rank expert.

Most Martial Artist could never enter the First-Rank in their entire lives.

Although the Cultivation Technique Hong Mu practiced allowed her to quickly achieve First-Rank combat power, it was extremely difficult to advance further.

In the original work, Hong Shu remained in the Pseudo-Vajra and Pseudo-Zhi Xuan Realm, never making any progress in her life.

However, as she said, there were only over a hundred First-Rank experts in the world, and such a Realm was enough to kill.

Whether Hong Shu wanted to kill Xu Weibear on the orders of the Northern Liang Royal Mansion or as an assassin's mission, Li Chang'an did not know.

This figure, famous on the assassin's list, clearly underestimated Li Chang'an's strength.

She thought that at a distance of a dozen zhang from Li Chang'an, assassinating Xu Weibear should be no problem.

Because it was a sneak attack, and the blade tip was already aimed at Xu Weibear's back.

Hong Mu's heart settled; this time, it would definitely be a fatal blow!

Since Wu Su's death, Hong Mu's sense of belonging to the Northern Liang Royal Mansion was not strong.

The Fushui Bureau arranging for her to accompany Xu Weibear to break off the engagement was the beginning of her return to the Northern Liang Royal Mansion.

According to Xu Xiao's plan, the next step was for her to undergo dead warrior training and then become Xu Fengnian's dead warrior and maid.

That day, when Li Chang'an crippled Chu Lushan, Hong Mu knew something big was wrong.

As an assassin, her sense for danger was extremely acute.

So, she escaped at the first opportunity.

Compared to returning to the Northern Liang Royal Mansion, she preferred being an assassin.

However, not long after she returned, she received a mission to assassinate Li Chang'an and Xu Weibear.

Because Hong Mu had many glorious records of assassinating multiple people alone, this mission was given to her.

She came to the Tang Royal Mansion tonight and observed from the shadows for a long time, realizing that Li Chang'an's strength was not to be underestimated.

She wasn't confident in defeating Li Chang'an, but she was confident she could escape.

So, she seized the opportunity to kill Xu Weibear first.

However, just as she was about to succeed, she suddenly felt a huge force wrapping around her waist!

Then, she felt powerful True Qi rolling and surging around her body.

And her body, surprisingly, was temporarily suspended in mid-air!

What was going on!

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Li Chang'an extending a hand!

Li Chang'an's body emitted a faint golden light, and his right hand seemed to be grabbing something.

Not good, this person actually knows a martial art similar to telekinesis!

And, it was from a distance of over a dozen zhang!

This Li Chang'an, he couldn't be a monster, could he!

In a panic, Hong Mu noticed that the True Qi around her waist gradually condensed into a golden Dragon.

That golden Dragon, like a powerful whip, tightly coiled around her.

"Hong Mu, stay!"

Li Chang'an let out a low shout, then fully activated the Dragon Grasping Skill!

Hong Mu was completely unable to resist the Dragon Grasping Skill, which possessed the strength of ten Dragons and ten elephants!

"Ah!"

After a startled cry of losing control of her body, the gracefully red-clad Hong Mu was captured by Li Chang'an from a distance.

Xu Weibear only saw Hong Mu flying straight towards Li Chang'an, only turning over and landing when she was not far from him.

Hong Mu descended from the sky, her black hair flowing, her skin as white as snow, and her face exquisitely beautiful.

However, due to the powerful True Qi of the Dragon Grasping Skill, Hong Mu was directly forced to her knees on the ground.

Although Hong Mu was startled, she refused to admit defeat and stubbornly said.

"Li Chang'an, it's not that easy to keep me!"
