Outlying Islands and Different Swordsmen

Chapter 19 First Battle: Black Armored Guards

"Pingjing Black Armored Guard? The Flying Detective Army under the command of Southwest King Jiang Qianlong?" Liu Minglong asked.

"Exactly." Mo Xiangzhi said tremblingly, "I really didn't expect to see these people here again."

Yi Yao heard from her father that the founding emperor of this dynasty had conferred five distinguished military feats as vassal kings, including three kings of the royal family surnamed Li and two kings of different surnames. The five kings could be hereditary.The vassal kings guard the five important border areas of the dynasty, set up vassal king counties, are independent and self-governed, and can also recruit soldiers and horses.The vassal king has now been passed down to the third generation, and there are occasional small movements, which seem to have a tendency to gradually break away from the control of the imperial court.

And Southwest King Jiang Qianlong is one of the vassal kings with different surnames in this dynasty. He guards the southwest region and is also the most restless king among many people. "Flying Detective Army" is a military position in this dynasty, specializing in spying on military and civilian news, and solving difficult cases.And this "Pingjing Black Armored Guard" is the spy army recruited by the Southwest King Jiang Qianlong alone in addition to the regular army formed by him.

Mo Xiangzhi signaled Yiyao to step back, and said softly to her, "Be careful. The Pingjing black armored guards are different from the ordinary flying scouts in this dynasty. They are all unpredictable in martial arts, and their black armor is even more sturdy. It is said that One person can be equivalent to hundreds of ordinary troops."

Yi Yao didn't retreat, but just clenched the sword in her hand a little nervously.

There were five Pingjing black armored guards who broke into the Taoist temple. They had black robes, black armor and black masks, horrific weapons, and a burly and tall body, which brought a strong sense of oppression to Yiyao and the others in this small Taoist temple. .Neither Yiyao nor the two young masters of the Mo family moved, Lingduo was holding Yiyao in fear, while Liu Minglong seemed calmer.

The leader of the black armored guard held a four-foot sword, glanced at Yiyao and the others, and did not act immediately, but said in a terrifying voice: "According to reliable information, the power of the sword demon is hiding here."

His mask seemed to have some function, making his voice thicker, like the deep voice of a beast.

"Several...Masters of the Black Armor Guard," Mo Xiangzhi tried to calm himself down, made a bow, and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. My elder brother and I are from the Mo family in Quanshan City. The other three This is... our friend. How could we be the sword demon forces?"

Mo Xiangzhi was a bit cautious, and didn't directly tell Yiyao, Lingduo, and the injured Liu Minglong.

The leader of the black armored guard laughed loudly and said, "Young Master Mo, that's right!"

He slightly turned his head and gestured backwards, and the two black armored guards rushed out behind him.Seeing that they were in thick armor, they didn't expect to be very fast. They rushed out and knocked the two brothers Mo Xiangzhi and Mo Jianzhi to the ground with one punch. The two of them seemed to have fallen to the ground before they could react. He was stepped on by a black armored guard.

Seeing this, Yiyao was about to draw her sword.Only Mo Xiangzhi shouted:
"My father must have sent you here!!! Mo Qi!" Mo Xiangzhi shouted while being trampled on the ground and struggling.

The head of the Black Armored Guard sneered and said: "It is indeed the master of the Mo family. The activities of our Black Armored Guards in Quanshan City and the surrounding cities are funded by your Mo family all the year round. Mo Qi asked us not to hurt the lives of your two sons , By the way, we have to capture a beautiful woman with a gun alive."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lingduo.After Yi Yao came out of the illusion, she gave the gun to Ling Duo.It seems that the black armored guard regards Ling Duo as himself.Lingduo was terrified, trembling with the gun in her hand, and said softly: "Miss... what should I do..."

The leader of the black armored guard signaled again, and the other two behind him rushed towards Ling Duo immediately.

This time Yiyao didn't hesitate, she pulled out the Liuxi sword in her hand, and the real energy instantly surrounded her whole body.She swung the sword and shot a burst of true energy from the entire blade, hitting one of the black armored guards, and then slashed back, hitting another one.

clang!clang!Yiyao's two moves were quick, and they hit the black armor of the two powerfully, making a heavy metal sound.But the armor seemed extremely strong, Yiyao's attack only left a trace of sword marks on the armor of the two men, and did not hurt them at all.But she managed to make them take two steps back.

The leader of the black armored guard said: "Hmph, it seems that there is a bit of skill. However, the master of the Mo family only said to save the lives of three people, and the rest of the idlers are waiting. We will not show mercy."

The two black armored guards attacked again. They waved their weapons, both of which were long-bladed simple knives, and attacked Yiyao.

"It's just a good time to try my new martial arts." Yi Yao thought to herself.

The black-armored guard was extremely powerful, and when he swung the long-bladed plain knife in his hand, there was a gust of wind, and Yiyao surrounded her body with true energy, and quickly dodged.The black armored guard slashed the wooden table next to him with a knife, and the wooden table broke into several pieces in an instant.Yi Yao swung her sword to block, and accompanied by the dull sound of metal collision, she felt that the two men's strength was extremely heavy, and her mouth was a little numb from the shock.

Yiyao didn't retreat, and after a few parries, the instinct formed over a month of training prompted her to strike back quickly with her sword. Far surpassed these two opponents with heavy armor and broadswords.The two were gradually at a disadvantage, and were hit by Yiyao's sword.

However, I don't know what material this thick black armor is made of, and it is extremely strong. Yi Yao hit these people's bodies, heads, and faces many times, but they all hit the armor, making a ping-pong-pong sound. He was losing ground, but he didn't seem to be hurt much.

With a clang, one of them was hit by Yi Yao's sword, and the simple knife in his hand fell to the ground.The two stopped to attack and looked at Yi Yao, but they didn't intend to retreat.

"This..." Yi Yao was a little dazed, and turned her head to look at Liu Minglong. The part of the "Sword of Wu Xiang" that she had just learned, did not expect that the first actual combat would be so difficult.She whispered to Liu Minglong: "Young master Liu, do you know what material the black armored guards' armor is made of? It's so hard that I can't seem to hurt them."

"This is probably a kind of black metal from the Western Regions. I have seen someone make swords with it in the Western Regions. But this is the first time I have seen someone make armor with this material." Liu Minglong said, "Yiyao, don't be nervous. Ordinary Weapons may not be able to hurt them, but the sword in your hand is smelted by swordsmith Piyi's Wuxiang Divine Sword, and its material has already surpassed theirs by far, so try to use it with your true energy."

Yi Yao nodded, she recalled the first few sentences of "The Sword of Wuxiang", which was also the first formula Duanmu taught her in her dream, [Qi is self-defending the weapon, there is no way to do it]... She held the sword and started to fight again Concentrate, and focus all your attention on the true qi surrounding your whole body.As she became more concentrated, she felt that the Qi in her body became stronger and stronger.

The two black armored guards still stood unmoved, as if they had decided that Yiyao, a weak woman, would not be able to hurt herself with her moves.

Yi Yao jumped up suddenly, and the moment she swung the sword in her hand, the qi in her body seemed to have a mind of her own, concentrating on the sword instantly...

snap!The sound of metal shattering.One of them was hit by Yiyao's sword in the chest, and the powerful zhenqi carried the blade, directly crushing the thick black armor on the chest, and the blade went straight to the flesh...

"Ouch..." The black armored guard in Zhongjian vomited blood and fell to the ground, blood gushing out from the gap between the mouth and nose of the black mask.

Seeing this, the other black armored guard yelled and slashed at Yi Yao with a huge force.Yiyao immediately blocked with the horizontal sword, and at the moment when the sword and the sword collided, true energy flowed out from the blade of the sword following Yiyao's movement of swinging the sword, directly splitting the black armored guard's sword into two pieces.Yiyao didn't stop, and swung her sword away. The armor on the right shoulder of the black armored guard was shattered, and the right shoulder and arm were bloody and bloody.

"It's done!" Liu Minglong nodded with a smile and said, "Yiyao, there are three more. I'll give you the leader, and I'll take the remaining two. Solve it as soon as possible, we still have important things to do."
