Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

"By the Eternal Heaven above, I humbly request Your Excellency to grant me this opportunity to go and obtain this man's dog's head."

Upon looking at the man, the officials recognized him as none other than Fuyuan Yuzhibanling, the First Baturuna Yuanhan.

As Yuan Han volunteered for battle, another person stepped forward and knelt down: "This servant is also willing to make amends and vows to kill that brat Li Xin on the spot."

After the Battle of Changzhou, Zhuo Ertai fled back in disgrace.

But he was, after all, a rising star of the Yehe family and a rare and formidable general.

They fled back under the onslaught of foreign troops, claiming it was not a fault of war, but rather due to outdated weaponry and a small number of soldiers and generals.

He wasn't severely punished...

He was simply stripped of his post and forced to listen to imperial commands.

He considered himself skilled in archery and horsemanship, possessed immense strength, and had never lost a fight in his life.

He had provoked Yin Changshou several times, but this master of gossip never accepted the challenge...

As a result, he became even more confident.

They underestimated Master Yin of the palace.

They believe that Han-style boxing is nothing special.

All they know how to do is boast and brag, but it's actually useless.

As long as he wasn't facing long guns and cannons, Zhuo Ertai felt...

He fears no one, relying solely on his personal strength.

Yin Changshou looked surprised when he heard the two men volunteer for battle.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Very well, since you two have successfully completed your mission, I will reward you handsomely."

Whether or not she killed the official, she didn't really care.

However, since that person had delayed his plan for immortality, he could not be allowed to live.

Chapter 142 Such a Movement Technique

As Li Xin made his way to the Ministry of War, he could see the wide and majestic Chengtian Gate from afar.

We also saw the iconic, magnificent white-spired building to the east.

That was a church built by the Anssa people at great expense of manpower and resources.

From a distance, you can see some burly soldiers in naval uniforms, armed with guns, walking on the wide and clean avenue.

The hymns were sharp and high-pitched, carried by the wind, drifting back and forth, making the words difficult to understand.

"It's a joke that the capital of a country has others building houses right at its own doorstep."

Yes, when Li Xin carefully inquired about the various government offices, he was stunned for a moment when he heard that the Angsa people's embassy was located on the east side of the street where the Ministry of War was located.

Not only Anssa, but also the Citrus, Cherry, Japanese, Broccoli, and Northern Bear people, all built numerous structures. They also secretly brought in a large contingent of marines.

These men were well-equipped and highly trained.

Although they were stationed under the guise of the envoy's guard, it wasn't exactly aboveboard.

However, both court officials and ordinary citizens knew that the enemy had already sent troops in.

It wasn't started, it just wasn't ready.

Or perhaps they have ulterior motives.

It wasn't because they were afraid of the imperial army.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these countries are keeping each other in check, and none of them want to be the first to take the lead.

I don't want to fight tooth and nail so that people from other countries can get the best piece of meat.

How many are there exactly?

Li Xin glanced at it with narrowed eyes, and roughly knew that there were at least five hundred naval soldiers hiding in the Anssa embassy district.

What a joke.

No wonder that two years later, the old woman didn't even bother to fight, and simply fled with her confidants.

Not escaping is truly waiting to die.

She's very shrewd.

By clearing away the fog of history, Li Xin gained a deeper understanding of this era.

And they can better appreciate just how dangerous this country is.

The phrase "the court was corrupt and surrounded by powerful nations" in historical records is merely an adjective.

In reality, it is a century of humiliation.

These people have ruined the country, and they still have the nerve to live? Can't they even have a brain?

The problem is that, from officials to ordinary citizens, no one seems to think there's anything wrong with this.

No one believed that two years later, the other side would completely overturn the table and take over the capital.

From then on, everyone born and raised on this land was considered shorter than others.

It wasn't until a hundred years later that it finally straightened its back.

Four hundred million people suffered in blood and fire, constantly on the verge of collapse, and their journey was incredibly arduous.

The culprits are all here.

Li Xin felt a tightness in his chest, and he had to vent it immediately.

"With my current abilities, I can't possibly protect everyone in the world, but at least I can protect the people around me."

He remained silent and stepped forward.

The situation ahead is already extremely tense.

……

Li Xin was leading a horse, with a little girl sitting on it, and two soldiers carrying a young man beside him.

Swaggering around as if no one else was around, carrying a long spear and a long sword, he charged toward the military command office, one of the six ministries of the imperial court.

"What a majestic presence, what a menacing aura..."

Those who were curious followed closely behind, and seeing this group of people, they were all so shocked that they trembled all over.

Is this going to turn the world upside down?

"I've never even heard of such a person throughout history. Is he going to single-handedly govern an entire country?"

“Absurd, utterly absurd.”

Among the onlookers were many insightful individuals, as well as a number of brave and courageous people.

They couldn't understand why anyone would be so bold.

Moreover, they actually accomplished something they never even dared to dream of.

"Hundreds of patrolmen in the southern camp were killed or wounded, and all the officials and generals were dead..."

The situation in the northern government office was even worse, with only a few defeated soldiers managing to escape.

After this battle, Li Xin's name will be known throughout the world.

A true man would die for this cause.

No matter how famous a bandit or thief is, they always develop their power in secret. No one would so openly and blatantly kill an official and flaunt their power.

Furthermore, it directly confronts the opponent's highest military authority.

Li Xin did it.

Not only were the people of Beijing shocked.

Even Cheng Yuanhua was so shocked that he started pulling at his beard...

He had previously thought that if things didn't go his way, he would step in to help.

No matter what, we must get Li Yuan and the others out of the city and leave safely.

In retrospect, it seems completely unnecessary.

This apprentice is more outstanding and more fearless than I imagined.

The word "escape" never even crossed the disciple's mind.

Yes.

It can only be others who escape.

Compared to that, my life as the master is utterly insignificant.

"Master Cheng, you've found it."

Even a big, strong man like Wang Wu, was speaking with a hint of sourness in his voice.

It was completely incongruous with his rugged face.

He uttered sarcastic and ambiguous words, but his heart felt like it had eaten a bayberry—sour, astringent, and slightly bitter.

Back then, his own daughter, Wang Jingya, had recommended this young man to him at a very young age.

He felt it was worth a try; if he could recruit Yuanshun Escort Agency, he would; if not, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But now it seems like the worst business deal I've ever made.

Their taste is absolutely terrible.

'If only I had found Li Xin immediately and been more polite, and persuaded him to join Yuanshun.'

"Isn't that old bastard Cheng Yuanhua's business over a long time ago?"

Whenever he thinks about this, Wang Zhengyi feels so distressed that he can't eat or sleep.

During this time, he was even somewhat afraid to see his own daughter.

He was afraid that girl would use words to shut him up.

This guy is hardly a talent.

He's not just a genius, he's a monster.

"I didn't expect Master Cheng's movement skills to have improved so quickly. It's been a while since we've sparred."

It seems that Wang is no match for you now.

He glanced at Li Xin, then turned to look at Cheng Yuanhua.

Wang Zheng touched the red-tasseled broadsword on his back, feeling a pang of emotion.

Both are among the six wonders of the capital.

In the past, his reputation far surpassed that of Cheng Yuanhua...

They are all grandmasters, but he, the grandmaster of the greatsword, is recognized as having unparalleled combat prowess.

But now it seems that the praise from the world is really unreliable.

Cheng Yuanhua had hidden a lightning-fast movement technique. No matter how fierce or powerful his broadsword was, how could he possibly defeat his opponent?

"Master Wang, you're mistaken. In terms of cultivation, I'm no match for you in a direct confrontation."

Even if my movement skills are slightly better than yours, it's only to a limited extent... I was naturally no match for you before, but now, we'll have to fight first."

Cheng Yuanhua didn't have much of a competitive spirit.

He was always suppressed by his senior brother, and even his junior brothers didn't think much of him, so he wasn't very angry.

In fact, he is not a competitive person.
