Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 369: Loosening the Joints

“Did someone from the He family come?” Li Hong Yuan lazily asked.

“Yes, and according to master’s orders, have been blocked outside. However, knowing that master is in the manor, they don’t seem to have any intention of leaving.”

Because of Jing Wan, Li Hong Yuan’s mood was pretty good. However, the bruise on Jing Wan’s arm, he also saw. That was the person he cupped at the tip of his heart, yet someone dared to injure her, absolutely unforgivable. “Have the person taken to the training grounds.”

With that said, Li Hong Yuan got up. Although right now wasn’t a good time to loosen the joints, but for the living Enma that did whatever he wanted, did he even need to specially pick a time to do something? Naturally no. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ _Fire

Inside the training grounds, on the weapon racks to the two sides, although may not necessarily be used, but all eighteen kinds of weapons were there. Li Hong Yuan took the long pike that he was most familiar with. The length of the pike exceeded ten feet, and the body was pitch black carved with exquisite patterns. On the surface, it faintly glimmered, the head of the pike metallic, the cold rays threatening. Gripping the tail and skillfully swinging, the entire body of the pike all shook, letting out a humming sound. Shortly after, he performed a series of moves. In his hand, the pike was like another arm. To say the body was like a roaming dragon flying gracefully probably all wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

When the guards had little tyrant He as well as his bodyguards brought over, Li Hong Yuan had only gone through half his moves.

Setting aside that little tyrant with the broken arms and legs, the others were all soldiers that have genuinely killed on the battlefield before, overflowing with an intimidating aura. Yet, at this time, seeing Li Hong Yuan, they also couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by shock inside. One has to know, Jin Qinwang’s ‘resounding reputation’, they’ve all heard of before. However, upon meeting the other party in this kind of manner, certain rumors were instantly shattered. At least, this man definitely can’t be useless with no good points. That chilling murderous aura and intimidating look, every move and swing, not one wasn’t penetrating with killing intent. This wasn’t an idle wangye that lived in luxury, but rather a death god that has walked down the battlefield!

In this moment, their gaze all glued onto Li Hong Yuan, having their little young master that they were originally supposed to protect all forgotten aside, letting him lie paralyzed on the ground like soft mud.

After performing a full set of moves, with a thud, the long pike got inserted into the ground. That feeling was like as if the ground was all about to split open.

And Li Hong Yuan’s figure was also like the pike in his hand, standing tall and upright.

“Two person a team, come exchange blows with this prince. If you win, this prince will consider meeting the people from the He family, if you lose……..” Li Hong Yuan’s gaze landed on little tyrant He, suddenly hooking a smile. Originally it should be an incomparably charming smiling, yet at this time, made one tremble with fear, “It won’t be as simple as just breaking an arm and leg.”

Little tyrant He just got his joints unhitched and didn’t really injure his bones. These military soldiers that temporarily took up the role as bodyguards, at the time, rather wanted to save the person, but when they noticed this bit, they finally endured in silence. However, at this moment, they nevertheless recalled what the people of Jin Qinwang Manor said at the time—————‘You all should be glad that master right now doesn’t have the time to deal with you all. If master were to personally set to the task, even if not dying, it would still be losing half your life.’

Right now, they firmly believed this without a doubt.

Li Hong Yuan was standing right there at the center of the area. They simply had no choice. As such, the eight of them mutually looked to one another and very quickly just divided into four teams. They didn’t dare to put out big words like ‘fighting one-on-one’, and further didn’t feel Jin Qinwang was looking down on them. Some things, anyone with a discerning eye was all able to see. Moreover, for them to have been able to go from a new soldier into a sly old veteran, they usually even carried an animal-like instinct, and thus was able to repeatedly survive the battlefield perfectly intact. How strong or weak an ‘enemy’ was, for the most part, they were all able to tell at a glance.

“The weapons, you can pick yourself. Seeing on behalf of you all having defended Qi Yuan’s land, this prince will give a warning. If you don’t use your all, then even if dying, it’s also just dying in vain. In the capital, this prince killing a person or two, it’s also just that. Whether it’s the commoner class or the slave class, there is no difference.”

That’s right, because these people loyally served the country, Li Hong Yuan even slightly respected them somewhat.

The two men inwardly shivered, not daring to slight in the slightest, choosing their weapon and directly setting to the task. They were all boorish men, and won’t pay attention to things like etiquette, because on the battlefield, no one will talk etiquette with you. Moreover, for people like them, although they’ve trained before, it was still mostly learning to kill from the battlefields, never concerning themselves with style. The purpose was just one, kill, kill, kill…………

In reality, ever since Li Hong Yuan ‘returned’, he really didn’t have any opportunity to utilize his true strength. Training on normal days, even when ‘exchanging blows’ with Fu Yun Ting in the past, he still held back in the end. Even last year at White Dragon Temple, because he wanted to act out a ‘pity inducing scheme’ in front of Jing Wan, it was also nothing more than just using about half of his actual strength. As for the assassination attempt on the way to the imperial summer residence, it was still mostly him venting his anger.

That’s why, right now, his blood really was a bit boiling.

Once it boiled, he naturally didn’t hold back on his blows. Moreover, in his past life, did he spend any less time on the battlefield? Even when he was the emperor, he still personally led the army, because the Li Hong Yuan at that time was truly insane and fearless. These people that he was facing indeed been on the battlefield before, and have killed quite a few enemies. However, Qi Yuan’s northeast, ever since the He family started overseeing, have yet to break out in any large scale battles. Compared to what Li Hong Yuan has seen and experienced, the discrepancy wasn’t just a tiny bit, and the various approaches used on the battlefield, Li Hong Yuan also understood thoroughly.

With Li Hong Yuan using his true strength, the imposing manner on him just grew increasingly obvious. Afterwards, in a short amount of time, blood was drawn. The throat, the heart, the two eyes, as well as the lower body, these people that have gone through hundreds of battles, this while, in Li Hong Yuan’s eyes, seemingly were full of holes, with nowhere to dodge and nowhere to escape. Fortunately, every time at the last moment, Li Hong Yuan would always pull back, and didn’t really inflict serious injuries upon them. As such, it was more than enough to see his extremely strong control over his strength. The more it was like this, the more it made one fearful. This just means that he really easily controlled his opponents life and death.

An Yi and them knew that their own master was very strong, but didn’t know exactly how strong. Seeing it now, afraid it was still beyond their expectations. Just, with merely two people, afraid it won’t be able to let master use his full strength. They were able to sense Li Hong Yuan’s current state. If it continues like this, afraid he will be very disappointed, and once disappointed, perhaps really will kill someone.

Actually, just as Li Hong Yuan said, him killing a few people really wasn’t anything. However, these people, mustn’t be killed, because if killed, afraid it will incur the entire Northeastern Army’s discontent towards master, and discontent towards the imperial family. One can well imagine, despite fighting with their lives at the border, their brothers that have gone through life and death with them on the battlefield strangely just got killed by a wangye of the country they were loyal to, so how can they not be furious? When time comes, it will be very difficult to say what kind of aftermath it will bring about.

An Yi slightly contemplated, “Why don’t two more of you go over.” Having acted without permission, An Yi was also prepared to receive the punishment afterwards.

Since An Yi was able to make out, these military men naturally understood too. Without the slightest hesitation, they directly picked their weapons and charged forward.

They originally thought that it might be the outcome of one plus one equals two, but in reality, it was far greater than two.

As the direct target in the fight, Li Hong Yuan naturally was able to clearly sense the change, and very soon, just discovered the reason within. It wasn’t that these latter two people were stronger, but rather, because the four of them formed a small formation, both attacking and blocking. As such, how could the power level not rise?

This kind of change made An Yi and them somewhat worried, their stance unconsciously changing, preparing to make a move at any time. However, they very quickly noticed that their worries were somewhat excessive.

Although it was a formation, Li Hong Yuan still immediately figured it out. This small formation had been simplified and can’t output its full power. Moreover, it similarly had holes. If his guess is correct, the complete formation should be eight people.

Li Hong Yuan’s attack slightly staggered, appearing as if getting suppressed. However, he grasped onto the opening and broke the formation in a single move. The original power level rapidly plummeted. Perhaps because of getting caught off guard, this one plus one effect was less than two. Thus, the scene changed back to the initial situation again.

The wounds on the four of them grew more and more. Perhaps it was more or less enough, Li Hong Yuan successively used the long pike to have the person flung out.

The four that ruthlessly smacked onto the ground just felt their chest slightly vibrating, faintly coughing up blood.

However, they didn’t really harbor any resentment or grudge, instead looking to Li Hong Yuan with excitement and reverence. For people like them, their thoughts were the most simple, and that was just worshiping the strong.

The imposing manner on Li Hong Yuan didn’t reduce, “Again.”

The remaining four people, upon hearing, immediately went forward, and not a single one wasn’t carrying a bit of excitement.

The bodyguards of the qinwang manor faintly twitched the corner of their mouth. They really didn’t understand these people’s thoughts. Clearly knowing it was looking for a beating, yet still this happy.
