Chapter 1693 - 307: Interrogating the Zhao Clan of Jiujiang

Zhao Yi was able to keep pace with Zhao Yanglin because their attention was focused on each other, constantly analyzing and predicting each other's moves.

But a real ambush often decides life and death in an instant.

This is why Zhao Yi earlier risked exposing flaws to trigger these water vapors, forming a blurry region.

He trusted that Li's ability to seize opportunities was too strong and wouldn't let himself be beaten by elders without gaining something.

A blood-red Tan Wenbin lunged at a Guardian, the Blood Ape Power bursting forth completely, suppressing the opponent firmly.

However, next, the Guardian emitted a blue light, clearly indicating some Magic Artifact was performing its last defense.

The brute power of the Blood Ape felt somewhat ineffective at this moment.

But fortunately, Tan Wenbin had other tricks up his sleeve.

Tan Wenbin let out a light laugh, strange colors swirling in his eyes, his earlobes subtly moving.

In the next moment, the Guardian beneath him first had his tongue severed, spewing blood from his mouth, then snake shadows appeared in his eyes, his eyeballs burst, and centipedes emerged from his ears, diving back in.

The Guardian's head shook violently, finally freezing in place, inside came a "crackling" sound, his skull preserved but everything inside turned to mush.

Rainbow-colored liquid gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, as life faded away.

Tan Wenbin stood up, exhaling a breath.

Next door, Lin Shuyou activated the True Monarch's Body, bringing down a mace, blocked by the Guardian, who was forced into a crouch by the sheer pressure of a single mace.

Then, with controlled ease, the second mace pulverized the Guardian's head.

After the fight, the Double Mace crisscrossed, the rain washing away the bloodstains on the golden mace.

The Guardian who died at Tan Wenbin's hands at least had a rich experience, whereas Lin Shuyou at least forced a move from the one in front of him, while as Run Sheng descended, patterns carved on his face faintly glowed, cleaving the Guardian and his weapon cleanly in two with a side sweep of his shovel.

Liang Li received assistance from Liang Yan, when the Liang Sisters stopped arguing about who was older, their cooperation was terrifyingly seamless.

One attacked high, the other low, wielding dagger and Soft Sword, seemingly simple but sharply controlled. When the sisters parted ways, the Guardian in the middle toppled into the mud with a "thud".

In truth, the quality of the Zhao family's Guardians is quite high, if only there were more to form an Array, they would indeed be difficult to deal with.

But in a sneak attack and direct clash, how could the Guardians compete with those trained on the river?

Li Zhiyuan walked out of the Array's range, holding the Luo Sheng Umbrella.

He had set out with his companions, but by the time he arrived, they had already resolved the situation.

In the boy's right palm appeared a blood mist, flowing up the umbrella handle, the originally black umbrella faintly turned red.

With a gentle twist, the misty water obscurity created by Zhao Yi earlier instantly dissipated, and the surroundings refreshed.

Over there, Zhao Yanglin, who had been forcing Zhao Yi defensively, couldn't help but pause.

He hadn't anticipated that within a mere moment, the four Guardians he had secretly brought from the Zhao family were entirely killed.

Tan Wenbin, Lin Shuyou, and the Liang Sisters all spread out to encircle Zhao Yanglin.

Zhao Yi's location for taking the beating was indeed well-chosen.

Frankly, Zhao Yi has so many Magic Techniques on him, winning against or even killing Zhao Yanglin would absolutely be possible, but he chose to use only the Zhao Family's Secret Technique, allowing himself to be beaten, just to save cost.

Appearing beaten, but actually unharmed, sacrificing some face to trap the enemy with reinforcements, this is truly cost-effective.

Seeing Zhao Yanglin stop fighting, Zhao Yi stood up, tidying his costume.

Zhao Yanglin's gaze swept over the people around him, incredulously saying:

"Zhao Yi, how could you even kill the Guardians?"

"Second Uncle, listen to how you're phrasing it. The tokens are in your hand, could I have persuaded them to defect?"

"But you..."

"Second Uncle, I even plan to kill you, why would I care about some Guardians?"

Zhao Yanglin pointed at Zhao Xu, who stood there: "In fact, I came today purely because I discovered the wickedness he's committed behind my back, and specifically to punish this unfilial son!"

Zhao Xu, already driven to survival mode by the reversal of the situation, immediately said upon hearing his father's words:

"Father, it was you who asked me to find..."

"Beast, shut up!"

Li Zhiyuan continued forward, and in front was Zhao Xu.

To ensure Li Zhiyuan's safety, Run Sheng moved ahead first.

Zhao Xu, seeing this, hurriedly and flusteredly drew a talisman paper with his right hand, while his left hand formed the Basic Technique.

Run Sheng punched through, the talisman paper shattered, the Basic Technique broke apart, and with the shovel horizontally slashing, Zhao Xu's head parted from his body, falling to the ground.

He managed to take two moves to ensure the skin on his face remained intact.

Zhao Yi laughed and said: "No need to trouble yourself, I now have better face choices."

Li Zhiyuan: "Having one more face means one more entry ticket, doesn't it?"

If only Zhao Yi went in alone to the Zhao family, wouldn't it be boring, he wanted to go in and take a look too.

Zhao Yi: "Brother Xiao Yuan speaks the truth."

A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped Zhao Yanglin, it was utterly clear tonight that no matter what he said, it was meaningless; this bastard intended to kill him.

Li Zhiyuan continued to walk with the umbrella, soon, the dynamics in the scene became very clear, everyone was quietly waiting for the boy to speak.

Zhao Yanglin even noticed that his nephew, now in a mad manic state, also subconsciously deferred to that boy with the umbrella.

He immediately turned, staring fiercely at the boy, asking:

"Is it you who incited my nephew to turn against his family, isn't it, why are you doing this?

Do you realize that today's events will lead to an endless vendetta by Jiujiang Zhao? Can you and your forces bear the cost of this?

Who...who are you...who exactly are you?"

Li Zhiyuan raised the umbrella, revealing his face, looking at Zhao Yanglin, and spoke:

"The only inheritor of the Dragon King Sect's gate of the Qin and Liu families - Li Zhiyuan;

Today,

To hold Jiujiang Zhao accountable."
