Free Web NovelChapter 508: Chapter 141: Take Action! Let’s See Who Can Get Past Me (Part 2)
At this moment, the already somewhat crazed Lu Yuan didn’t notice at all that every time his blade was blocked, it was by a different member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and that these guards, though scattered,
had auras that seemed to be connected!
It looked like a crowd, but they moved as if they were one person!
...
"Is this an array technique?"
At the same time, Ye Liuyun’s boat had already arrived at the dock.
However,
since the battle wasn’t turning unfavorable, he hadn’t made a move yet. Seeing that Lishui City was safe, the County Magistrate visibly relaxed a lot.
And at this moment, Shi Sheng
looked at the group of Embroidered Uniform Guards joining forces against Lu Yuan, that Postnatal Martial Artist, and couldn’t help but mutter a line.
Although he hadn’t witnessed it before, he’d heard a bit about array techniques.
The seamless cooperation among these Embroidered Uniform Guards, the way they rotated positions—seemingly chaotic yet clearly ordered—was obviously not random.
Shi Sheng immediately thought this must be some kind of array!
"Well, what do you think!"
Seeing Shi Sheng’s shocked expression,
Si Nan chuckled and said.
"This is the array that the lord personally taught these people. Impressive, huh?"
Seeing Si Nan looking so smug,
Shi Sheng snapped out of his surprise, rolled his eyes, and replied with annoyance,
"Of course the lord’s array is impressive, but what does it have to do with you? As if you taught it to them!"
He clearly couldn’t stand Si Nan’s self-satisfaction.
"Tch! Not worth arguing with you!"
If it were any other time, Si Nan might have bantered with Shi Sheng, but obviously now isn’t the time for that.
So Si Nan just shot him a glare and couldn’t be bothered to reply.
On Jiang Jing’s side, after watching for a while, he suddenly looked at his lord with some confusion.
"My lord! This array looks a bit like the evil qi linking method General Yue Xiu was rumored to use!"
Rumor had it, ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
General Yue Xiu’s army used a method to link their evil qi, binding the entire army’s hatred and murderous intent together, creating unity out of chaos.
For a short time, their strength could multiply!
"Good eye!"
Hearing Jiang Jing’s analysis, Ye Liuyun smiled and said.
It’s very similar indeed.
After all, the technique was obtained from General Yue Xiu.
Ye Liuyun had simply asked out of curiosity, and hadn’t expected Yue Xiu to be so generous, directly sharing the method to refine evil qi with Ye Liuyun, not hiding anything at all.
Since he had it, Ye Liuyun saw no reason not to teach it to his subordinates.
However,
these men had only learned the basics. Yue Xiu’s troops had refined that technique to perfection through countless battles on the field.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards now were only starting to train, and this was their first real attempt at putting it into action.
Being able to pull it off this well was already impressive.
Ye Liuyun was quite satisfied at least.
Lu Yuan, while not at a disadvantage yet, could no longer easily gain the upper hand.
"Target: Lu Yuan!
Realm: Postnatal Realm!
Talent Entry: Innate Strength (Blue), Water Source Sense (Purple),"
"Water Source Sense (Purple): Innately possesses a supernatural sense for water sources, can breathe underwater, and recover injuries and energy when submerged!"
This was a bit unexpected.
Who would’ve thought this low-level river bandit would have a purple quality Talent Entry?
Moreover, this talent was actually quite useful.
No wonder Lu Yuan managed to become the leader of this crew—he really did have some skills.
He’d heard Lu Yuan had been hunted for ages before turning bandit, but always survived. Now it seemed clear that Water Source Sense played a vital part.
That’s why Lu Yuan always managed to stay alive each time.
Unfortunately, this talent will soon be mine.
Clearly, Ye Liuyun had his eye on Lu Yuan’s talent—after all, it was purple grade.
He’d be crazy not to snag it after running into it, wouldn’t he?
But there was no need to rush. It was already in the bag, so there was no harm in waiting a moment longer.
As if sensing something,
Ye Liuyun suddenly turned his head, looking toward a large ship just a short distance away.
No need to guess—that was surely the vessel Lu Yuan and his crew arrived in.
With this sensory-type talent, and after reaching the Grandmaster Realm, Ye Liuyun’s perception abilities had grown much sharper.
"Innate Perfection, huh?"
Ye Liuyun sensed it.
Inside that ship, there was the aura of a Martial Artist at the Innate Perfection Realm.
No wonder.
So this was the confidence behind Lu Yuan’s rebellion? Or perhaps, the reason why he was forced to rebel?
In that instant,
Ye Liuyun’s heart grew more and more expectant.
He wasn’t in a hurry to make a move, but wanted to see how things would unfold.
...
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of weapons clashing kept ringing out.
You could clearly see,
the expression on Lu Yuan’s face
had turned from relaxed at the beginning to incredibly grim.
He’d lost all the confidence he’d shown at the start.
As time passed, the Embroidered Uniform Guards working together grew even more adept, while Lu Yuan was increasingly pushed onto the defensive.
From wielding his blade so aggressively at first,
