Whoosh! Whoosh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darts sailed straight through the fiery red balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the little fireballs kept floating in midair, drifting toward Ye Liuyun’s group like nothing had touched them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the moonlight, Yun Sheng, hiding in a corner behind a wall, watched the scene on the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a mocking grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what if they’re Embroidered Uniform Guards? Out here in the sticks, a few of them dead won’t lead to me, no matter what.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Yun Sheng’s view, even if the guards really died, by the time anyone traced things back to him, he’d have long since skipped town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s a big place. If the Great Qian Dynasty gets too hot, he’ll just head somewhere else. Who’s scared?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>,,,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-sir! What do we do, run for it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the enemy was just a man, Shi Sheng wouldn’t blink an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But facing this weird supernatural crap, Shi Sheng honestly had no idea what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even though he was scared, Shi Sheng stood his ground and turned to Ye Liuyun, waiting for his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Liuyun grinned as he watched the fireballs drift toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This? Not even enough to make me take a step back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mage tricks, huh. Entertaining, for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad they’re no real threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved for Si Nan and Shi Sheng to step aside. And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overlord Saber Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, he drew his saber, flaming hot, and hurled it at the approaching fireballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even get close to Ye Liuyun, his saber sliced right through them midair, extinguishing them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, you’re amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Si Nan praised without hesitation, slapping Shi Sheng on the shoulder and saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See?
