Chapter 947: Chapter 4: Heaven’s Mandated Heroes, Heavenly Strategy!
The silver-haired girl was scooped up and held.
Her limbs dangled and swayed, yet she still clung tightly to her small bundle.
Her face was expressionless.
Li Guanyi strode forward, a wooden stick in his hand, sometimes flicking, sometimes pointing. He did not harm these ordinary guards, only tapped their wrists to make them drop their weapons.
On a not very wide road, the weapons fell to the ground. Li Guanyi snatched the monk’s merit box, then let the girl be tossed together with the money-filled parcel, turned around, and with a flick of his wrist, tapped the package.
The package opened in the air.
The various amounts of money collected by the monk along the road scattered all over the ground.
People quickly went to pick up the money, and the monk was shocked and angry: "This is not your money, it’s Buddha’s money! Aren’t you afraid of Buddha’s wrath?!" He tried to chase Li Guanyi, but was blocked by the money collectors, and then suddenly a clay pot fell from the sky and trapped his head inside.
The monk’s head was shaved clean, regularly greased with butter, providing a bright and smooth surface, so with a pop, the clay pot fit snugly over his bald head, plunging the foreign monk into darkness, causing him to screech.
"Archers, archers!"
"Shoot down these Central Plains blasphemers of Buddha!"
"Shoot!"
Li Guanyi looked up to see a woman in a blue robe, slender and wearing a hooded scarf against the wind, performing Qinggong on the buildings on both sides, with a large bundle on her back, saying: "What are you guys up to again?!"
"How could you cause such a big trouble in such a short time?!"
Li Guanyi replied, "That monk tried to rob my money."
Nangong Wumeng was surprised: "Who has the guts to do that?!"
"Without Yan Daiqing, who else would dare to take money from you, and you’d let them?!"
The monk shouted in great anger: "It’s for Buddha, for Buddha!"
Li Guanyi grinned.
Although the evaluation from his partner seemed quite accurate, a complex feeling made Li Guanyi unable to feel happy, Lord, I am the Lord!
The young man shook his head, seriously saying: "These are just small matters, nothing significant."
"So, did you gain anything?!"
Nangong Wumeng had entered the city. Li Guanyi had given her many golden beans to go to the stalls and pawnshops for bargaining. Nangong Wumeng frowned and said: "Just as you said, I bought some things based on intuition, but I don’t know if there’s anything good."
She performed Qinggong, her movements agile, landing beside Li Guanyi and Shaking Light.
In terms of pure Qinggong movement technique, Nangong Wumeng of the Fourth Layer Heaven was not much worse than Li Guanyi of the Sixth Layer Heaven, but the latter was powerful, taking one step forward, creating a small pit in the ground as he leaped far away, unlike Nangong Piaoyi in grace.
Li Guanyi looked at the big bag Nangong Wumeng was carrying, with a smile on his lips.
Nangong Wumeng shrugged her shoulders, a blush on her face, saying with slight annoyance:
"General, don’t be so money-obsessed."
"Just think, without armor, how will we deal with this rain of arrows behind us?"
The city guards had already surged onto the rammed-earth city walls, drawing their bows. The Western Regions bows were larger than the Central Plains bows and the arrows varied, with long ranges. Li Guanyi, although skilled in martial arts, was not afraid of the arrow rain but found it troublesome as revealing martial skills easily attracted more trouble.
But this rain of arrows was not a problem for them.
Li Guanyi teased:
"With your good luck, why not summon some meteors or something?"
Nangong Wumeng said: "You, you, you!"
Nangong Wumeng seemed infuriated, loudly saying: "Fine, fine, I’ll just use the Lord’s thirty years of fortune to bet that we can get out this time without worrying about these arrows!"
Li Guanyi was shocked, but the two had already rushed to the city gate where the guards had prepared large wooden barriers and horse barriers. Li Guanyi gripped the wooden stick with his right hand and charged forward.
Raising his arm, waist, hips, arm, channeling a force, a slight wrist rotation, thrusting the wooden stick forward.
[Mountain Shattering]!!!
The momentum was grand and solemn.
It was different from when he had just learned this move.
At this moment, as Li Guanyi thrust this move, the Jin Qi was massive and layered, as if there was truly a mountain ahead, which the young man’s wooden stick was about to bore a hole through.
Boom!!!
The barriers in front were smashed open, and the heavy horse barriers made of wood and iron pieces exploded apart. The wooden stick in Li Guanyi’s hand emitted a dark golden stream of light, imbued with the Jin Qi of the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, remaining unscathed.
As he stepped forward, he moved with fluidity, the splintered wood chips bouncing away.
He charged out like a fierce tiger.
Even the defenses of this city couldn’t halt him even slightly.
A renowned general from the Central Plains, even in plain clothes, could not be stopped by a small Western Regions city.
As the archers on the steps collectively shot their arrows, somehow, a whirlwind spun up, whisking sand into their mouths and weakening the arrows, swallowing them into the sandstorm.
Li Guanyi was stupefied, looking at the wide expanse of wind outside the city.
Is there really?!
Though knowing it was spring, with frequent sandstorms in the Western Regions, Nangong Wumeng’s words felt uncanny, causing Li Guanyi to slightly waver, saying: "Heroine Nangong, could you perhaps take back your words just a little?"
The most stunning beauty of the Martial World raised her chin slightly, without answering:
"Humph."
Li Guanyi grinned, laughing heartily as he rushed forward. Both he and Nangong possessed top-tier strength among the younger generation in the Martial World, and such a level of sandstorm could not stop them. After charging dozens of miles, they found a rock providing shelter from the wind and sand and hid in the shade it provided.
