Qin Dynasty: Becoming a peerless master through the Golden Light Mantra

Namyang, South Korea.

A magnificent carriage, escorted by dozens of armored soldiers in red armor, slowly drove out of Nanyang City, along with more than ten knights riding tall horses.

When pedestrians on the official road outside the city saw this scene, whether they were ragged commoners or high-ranking officials in fine clothes, they all silently made way.

The reason was that the person sitting in the carriage was a distinguished figure from Korea—the eleventh prince, Han Che.

Besides being a prince of Korea, he was also the garrison commander of Nanyang, in charge of the 5,000-strong Korean standing army stationed there.

Those professional warriors were all as fierce as wolves and tigers.

Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to look up at such a person, let alone offend them.

Inside the carriage, Han Che was thinking about the news he had just received from Xinzheng.

The ghost soldiers robbing the pay in the anime has already happened, and his famous ninth brother, Han Fei, has also finished his studies abroad and returned to Xinzheng.

According to the anime's storyline, the power balance in Xinzheng is about to be broken.

Although he left the power struggle in Xinzheng early on and joined the army to settle down in the important place of Nanyang, he still had to pay attention to the affairs in Xinzheng.

Xinzheng is the capital of South Korea, and changes there will affect the future of the entire country.

As a prince of South Korea, his fate was already intertwined with that of a nation on the verge of collapse.

Once the State of Han is destroyed by the State of Qin, Ying Zheng may not care about the collateral descendants of the Han clan, but he will definitely take extra care of the royal princes like himself.

Historically, due to a rebellion in the Han region, his father, King Han An, who chose to surrender, was directly executed by Ying Zheng.

Later, Zhang Liang attempted to assassinate Ying Zheng at Bolangpo.

This fire spread directly to all the members of the Han family.

Therefore, even if it's just for himself, he's willing to give it his all.

Moreover, he has the ability to fight for it.

Thinking of this, Han Che raised his right hand.

His right hand was enveloped in golden light, making it look incredibly sacred.

Crackling sounds!

The next moment, the golden light transformed into blue-white lightning.

This is the ability that came into this world with him.

The Golden Light Mantra and Thunder Magic from the One-Man World.

In this situation, even if he cannot reverse the situation, he can still preserve himself in the torrent of history and accumulate some capital for the subsequent struggle for supremacy.

After all, he is still very young, not yet twenty years old, only eighteen.

Although thunder suddenly sounded inside the carriage, the surrounding soldiers were already used to it.

They knew that their young master possessed the ability to control lightning.

This made them even more in awe of Han Che.

At this moment, the carriage was about to enter a grove of trees.

The scouts ahead slowed their pace, carefully observing their surroundings with their eyes hidden beneath their iron masks, searching for any potential traps.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities on the road, the scouts immediately set off to return to the main force.

Just then, a man in black used his lightness skill to leap down from a hidden tree and run quickly into the depths of the forest.

Soon, fifteen men dressed in black, wearing straw hats, appeared before the man in black, along with a woman wearing a spiderweb-patterned iron mask, fitted light armor, and a fishnet outfit.

They were all assassins from the Luo Wang organization, and the woman was even more so—Jing Ni, a top-tier assassin from Luo Wang.

Among assassins, the highest level is "Heavenly Killer and Earthly Destroyer" and "Demons and Monsters".

"Is the target about to appear?"

Seeing the scout return, Jingni asked.

His tone was cold and devoid of any emotion.

The man in black who had returned replied, "The scouts sent by the target have already arrived."

His tone was equally cold.

As professional assassins trained by the Net, emotions are superfluous to them.

"good!"

Jing Ni nodded slightly, then looked at the group of assassins behind her and said, "Prepare to move out."

At a single command, the assassins of the Luo Wang organization immediately began their operation.

Although their preparations were inadequate and they hadn't set up any traps to assist them, it was precisely because of this that they were able to deceive their target.

The key to this assassination was to strike unexpectedly and then use Jing Ni's formidable personal martial arts skills to carry out the assassination.

On the other side, the carriage, escorted by knights, was about to enter the woods.

Although scouts had been sent to explore the area before, the knights responsible for guarding the carriage did not let their guard down despite the complex terrain.

The knights on both sides used their bodies to protect the carriage.

After walking deep into the woods, a dozen iron crossbow bolts suddenly flew out from both sides of the woods.

Although the attack was sudden, the crossbow bolts did not cause much damage to the armored soldiers, nor did they cause much disturbance to the well-trained troops.

Their armor was no mere decoration; it could only be broken by powerful bows and crossbows.

Moreover, even if the armor's protection is broken, the remaining force is unlikely to cause much damage to these armored warriors who have practiced external martial arts.

"Assassins! Protect the young master!"

Han Hu, the captain of the guard riding a tall horse in front of the carriage, hurriedly drew his long sword and gave the order.

Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately formed a battle formation around the carriage.

Dozens of infantrymen formed the first line of defense on the outer perimeter, while more than ten knights formed the second line of defense on the inner perimeter.

The infantrymen stood in neat formation, their spears arrayed, ready for battle.

The knights immediately picked up their portable crossbows and aimed them at the trees on both sides.

At that moment, Jing Ni led a group of Luo Wang assassins out of the woods.

"Release the arrows!"

Under Han Hu's command, the knights did not hesitate at all and immediately unleashed a rain of arrows at Jing Ni and the others who were charging towards them.

The agile Jingni nimbly dodged the crossbow bolts aimed at her, easily avoiding all of them.

However, the ordinary assassins behind her were not so skilled, and three of them were hit by arrows.

Despite the injuries, the assassins of Luo Wang did not retreat.

They kept following Jingni as she rushed forward.

Hearing the commotion outside, Han Che, inside the carriage, raised his right hand and parted the right-side curtain.

Seeing Jing Ni's familiar figure outside, Han Che was quite surprised.

He hadn't expected that Jing Ni wouldn't assassinate Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji, but instead would try to assassinate him.

Or perhaps they planned to kill themselves first, since they were easy targets, before going after Wei Wuji, who was more difficult to kill.

Was it because of Nanyang? Or because of his cousin Chengjiao?

This Nanyang is not the modern Nanyang.

Located north of the Yellow River and south of the Taihang Mountains, it was one of the important gateways for the Qin state to expand eastward.

At the same time, it also served as a barrier to the north of Han, preventing the Zhao state, which had a very friendly relationship with Han, from being completely cut off by Qin.

Although the states fought each other during the Warring States period, Han and Zhao had few conflicts due to historical reasons and were truly brother states.

The Qin state had been secretly plotting to seize the land of Nanyang through espionage.

Historically, it was the loss of Nanyang that caused the state of Han to lose its last strategic stronghold, leaving the capital, Xinzheng, completely open to the Qin state.

Knowing this, Han Che had been suppressing Qin's activities in Nanyang.
