"Hahaha, there are many things you can't imagine. These people behind me, Zhu Li, are all secret guards of the palace. They are all highly skilled. I advise you to just surrender. Pointless struggle will only make you suffer more. Why bother?" Zhu Mei had a confident look on his face, as if Zhu Li could not escape even with wings. Of course, his confidence only came from his own vision.
Zhu Li laughed at himself when he heard this, saying playfully, "If I surrender, can you guarantee that I won't die? If the general can't do that, then don't make such a joke. A general of a town is actually Tian Lingzi's dog. I can't believe it, I can't believe it."
Facing Zhu Li's sarcasm, Zhu Mei remained calm and responded calmly: "Tian Lingzi is nothing. That old eunuch can't even control me. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm from the Secretary General's Office. The people I brought with me are all secret guards, the most terrifying guards in the court."
"Secretary-General?" Zhu Li exclaimed in surprise. In his impression, the Secretary-General was an institution that ground ink, held pens, and drafted documents for the emperor. However, this department, which he thought was just a document management department, was actually able to command a local commander and also trained so many assassins. Was this still the Secretary-General he knew
"Yes, Tian Lingzi is the commander of the ten armies and twelve guards of the world. Most of the death warriors under his command are from the Shen Ce Army. Their combat power is at most the tough soldiers in the army. How can they be compared with the masters of our Secretary General?" Zhu Mei said without any scruples, not taking Tian Lingzi seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Li's eyes wandered and he asked tentatively, "Secretary General, are you the people of the current emperor?"
"Hahaha, you don't need to test me. The current emperor is like a bird in a cage, playing and frolicking all day long. How can a tyrant have the ability to create such a group of terrifying secret masters? However, although I am a local commander, I am just an insignificant leader in the Secretariat. To put it bluntly, I am just a runner. If you meet those adults, even if you are a brave general, you will have no choice but to be killed." Zhu Mei knew that Zhu Li was testing him, but he didn't mind at all and spoke boldly.
However, after he finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject, his face darkened, and he said sinisterly: "Well, it seems that General Zhu has no intention of surrendering, so I won't waste my words with you. Go ahead, regardless of life or death."
Following Zhu Mei's order, sixty or seventy secret guards dressed in ordinary people's clothes drew their weapons in unison, and the sound of "clang, clang..." was deafening.
With the sound of weapons being unsheathed, countless figures leaped and leaped, fearlessly rushing towards Zhu Li. The long swords were as sharp as silk and the iron swords were as fast as the wind, attacking Zhu Li without any hesitation.
Although Zhu Li's internal injuries had not yet healed, he did not take these people seriously at all. However, it was this kind of neglect that caused him to suffer a great loss in an instant. In just two or three breaths, he had several cuts on his body. If he had not reacted quickly, these cuts would have killed him.
Zhu Li was shocked, he never expected that what Zhu Mei had just said, that the Secretariat was the most terrifying department in the court, was not an exaggeration at all, the strength of these secret guards was really too strong.
Among this group of people, the lowest-skilled secret guards are at the level of third-rate generals, and the vast majority of secret guards are
They are all at the level of mid-second-rate generals, and there are even two or three difficult characters among them. Their skills are already strong enough to rival those of unrivaled generals.
This is not the most important thing. If it were just this, Zhu Li would not have suffered minor injuries in an instant. The most important thing is that the martial arts they mastered are not the killing techniques on the battlefield, but the small tricks similar to those in the martial arts world. Not only are the martial arts very strange and varied, but they will do anything to kill the enemy. There are so many masters, and they all use the kind of feminine methods, which instantly submerged Zhu Li in the crowd.
If Zhu Li is careless, he will be hit by countless punches and kicks, and several scratches on his body. He cannot afford to be careless. Fortunately, the Shanhaijing has blessed him with more advanced exotic beasts. Although these people are tricky and vicious, they can't do anything to him for a while. What Zhu Li needs to do is to familiarize himself with these people's methods as soon as possible, otherwise he will be finished today.
Although he had read countless martial arts novels and was fascinated by the magical skills and unique techniques described in them, in fact, Zhu Li had no idea of the real methods of the people in the martial arts world, and it was very difficult for him to deal with them all of a sudden.
Fortunately, he was stronger than before, and his punches and kicks were so powerful that no one could resist him. Even though he couldn't use his internal energy due to his internal injuries, he still couldn't be knocked down by these people in a short time.
At this moment, he used his arm as a sword, and performed a set of "Nine Killing Di Styles" like a fast-paced movie. As his arm swung, his whole body was shrouded in a gray light curtain. Although he did not dare to take the opponent's weapon head-on, he also defended himself tightly.
Since he couldn't break out of the encirclement for the time being, he might as well take this opportunity to find out the whereabouts of these gangsters. With this thought in mind, he decisively gave up the attack and began to defend with all his strength.
Defense was not Sha Di Jiushi's strong point, but now he had practiced this set of swordsmanship to perfection, so there was naturally no problem in using it to defend against the attacks of these people.
Plus, he was naturally fast. Since his debut, only Li Cunxiao was half a step faster than him. Although these people had unique and tricky martial arts, they were no faster than him. With the support of the strange beast Luwu, his strength increased to an alarming level. He actually entangled with these people, and for a while they were evenly matched. Although the other side had more people, he was not afraid at all.
However, when Zhu Mei saw this situation, he frowned and was worried. He thought that facing so many masters, Zhu Li should not be able to fight back at all and would be in a situation of being beaten.
However, watching Zhu Li in a precarious state, as if he could fall at any time, but he just wouldn't fall, Zhu Mei took a closer look and realized that although dozens of secret guards tried their best and launched a fierce attack, almost no one's fists, feet or weapons could land on the opponent. The situation was very strange.
This strange scene gave Zhu Mei a bad feeling. Sure enough, not long after, Zhu Li gradually became familiar with these people's tactics. While defending, he also began to fight back gradually.
As time passed, Zhu Li's counterattack became more and more powerful. Although he was unarmed, he had enormous strength. Almost every secret guard he hit was knocked away.
Looking at the secret guards that were knocked away by Zhu Li, most of them couldn't stand up immediately after they fell to the ground.
Thrown back into the fight again, many people even had blood oozing from the corners of their mouths and were unable to get up for a long time after being punched or kicked.
It has always been said that Zhu Li is the bravest of the three armies and is known as the best of the world. Zhu Mei has always refused to believe it, but after seeing him today, he had to believe it. This is not just the best of the world, it is no exaggeration to call him the Lu Bu among men.
He knew very well how powerful the secret guards were. They could adapt and fight back even when surrounded by so many people. It took great skills and reactions to achieve such a level.
Suddenly, a secret guard holding a long knife was grabbed by Zhu Li's wrist, and then he twisted it hard. With a "click" sound, the bone broke. The secret guard's wrist was broken by Zhu Li in an instant, and the long knife in the secret guard's hand was naturally taken away by Zhu Li.
With a knife in hand, Zhu Li became even more courageous. He was invincible in slashing, stabbing, and killing. The knife flashed like silk and intertwined like waterfalls. Along with the silver lightning-like slashing, bright red blood splattered like ink.
"Ah, ah..."
With a knife in hand, gods and ghosts cannot escape. Zhu Li with a knife in hand is like a completely different person from Zhu Li with bare hands. Without weapons, he can only be seen to be extremely fierce, but with weapons, he instantly turns into a Shura from hell, killing gods if he stands in the way and killing Buddhas if he stands in the way.
Among the secret guards who were besieging Zhu Li, people would die from time to time, and the shrill wails kept ringing out. In Zhu Mei's eyes, the secret guards who had always been invincible were actually suffering a rare continuous loss in the mission of besieging Zhu Li. Moreover, as the number of people decreased, the speed of loss became faster and faster. Sometimes, someone would die on the spot just because of a moment of daze.
This rare phenomenon made him suddenly feel a chill, which spread silently from the tailbone of his body and continued to spread upwards. In almost the span of a breath, it spread to the top of his head. His hands and feet began to tremble and become cold, and he even broke out in a cold sweat. Of course, he was scared.
What on earth is going on? Li Keyong's adopted son was able to defeat Zhu Li's entire army, forcing them to flee into the water like a dead dog. Now he is leading a whole team of secret guards, but not only did he fail to kill the enemy, but looking at the situation, he might end up with complete annihilation. Could it be that the information given to him by his superiors is false? He couldn't help but become a little suspicious.
No matter what, he could not have imagined that not everyone has a fake son like Li Cunxiao. In such a big world and such a long history of China, there is only one Li Cunxiao. In this era, if Wu Dao does not appear, who can be his rival
If it weren't for Li Cunxiao, if they really wanted to find someone to beat Zhu Li as badly as last time, it cannot be said that there weren't any such people in this era and on this land, but they would be rare and difficult to find.
In fact, we should thank Li Cunxiao for this situation. After all, he had just made his debut and this was the beginning of his talent. He had no fame before, and even if he was a little famous, it was only in the Shatuo Army. Now few people in the world know how powerful he is.
Zhu Mei's bad luck was that he didn't know how powerful Li Cunxiao was. He just heard that Zhu Li couldn't even beat Li Keyong's fake son, so he thought Zhu Li was just so-so. With the terrifying secret guards, he could definitely be killed. Obviously, he was wrong this time.
