The people from Escort Regiment quickly returned with news, however it was not good news. Sun Xueshan sent a total of five men to investigate the situation of the "Earth Dragon Boat".
There were no two people in the five waves, a total of ten people. However, there was only one person that had returned, and he was severely injured.
The news that the Divine Martial City guard brought back was that the rapist who kidnapped them did indeed come from the "Landwyrm Ship". The person on the boat was indeed related to Earth Divine King, but he was not on the boat.
There were about twenty to thirty people on the ship, and they were not weak either. The scouts were quickly discovered by them, and the rest of the nine were all killed. Only he was lucky enough to escape. However, this guard had multiple sword wounds on him, so he would probably have to rest for a few months.
After Sun Xueshan heard the news the guard brought back, he ordered the guards to rest. He also ordered someone to take care of the patient and pay a large sum of money as the treatment fee.
After he had settled down the guard, Sun Xueshan went to the main yamen without stopping to tell Yin Zhijie everything that had happened.
After Yin Zhijie finished listening, he flew into a rage and immediately gathered all of the centurions and above to protect himself. He ordered the Steel Cavalry to follow him to the mouth of the Earth God Ship.
Yin Zhijie and his group continuously rushed to the mouth of the sea beside the Divine Martial City. However, before they could reach their destination, they were stopped by someone.
It was a young man in his early twenties, with a pretty, baby-faced face. He wore a brocade robe that made him look like someone from a noble family. Next to him stood a disproportionate sword, broad and thick and long, thrust into the ground almost as high as he was tall and wide enough to match the width of his body. Judging from this greatsword alone, this youth was not an easy opponent.
Seeing Yin Zhijie's team coming over, the young man suddenly pulled out his large sword from the ground, with a flash, he arrived in front of the centurion's horse.
With a swing of the sword, the centurion's horse cried out in grief as both of its legs were cut off.
The centurion was not weak, and was ready when he saw the young man with the sword approach his horse. However, the young man's movements were too fast. He had no time to stop the young man, as both of his front legs had been cut off. However, he was still quite alert. As soon as he flipped over, he jumped off the horse's back.
The centurion who was the vanguard had just landed on the ground when the large group of people behind him arrived in front of them.
Vice Commander Liu Xuan Ren's character was explosive. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately shouted in anger: "Where did this brat come from, to actually make a move on Divine Martial City, is he tired of living?"
Then, he looked at Liu Xuanren and said, "Fine, I am only in my early twenties this year, but you are indeed a bit young compared to me. But when it comes to living, I am also tired of competing with you."
Liu Xuan Ren was a dignified Divine Martial City Vice Commander, and would allow a young man to speak rudely to him. He immediately drew his sword and was about to dismount to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
Upon seeing him, Sun Xueshan hurriedly pulled him back. Then, he raised the horse's reins, took a few steps forward, and said to the youth: "Little brother, we are from Divine Martial City, and currently, we have important matters to attend to, such as capturing bandits.
The young man chuckled. He didn't seem to want to give way and said: "You are more polite than that guy, but you don't make any sense!"
"Little brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Aren't you here to capture me? Why did you want me to move out of the way again?
Sun Xueshan was also puzzled for a moment when he heard this. However, he still said with a smile, "We are going to pick a flower thief this time, not to find trouble with little brother. Please make way."
The young man tapped his ear and said, "That's right. Aren't you still looking for me?"
Sun Xueshan was a cunning and scheming person to begin with. Upon hearing the young man's tone, he couldn't help but secretly beat his drum in his heart. He cupped his fist and asked: "I wonder what your name is, and what is your relationship with the Earth Divine King?"
My name is Li Sicong, Earth Divine King is my clan's ancestor!
Although Liu Xuan Ren had a bad temper, he was not a stupid person. Upon hearing the youth's words, he suddenly interrupted and asked: "So, those kidnapping cases in Divine Martial City …"
Liu Xuan Ren had not finished speaking, but Li Sicong had already interrupted him. He spoke with an indifferent look: "It was all my doing, don't you know?"
After saying that, Li Sicong extended his finger and touched his other ear, then continued to speak: "I also feel that it's strange, didn't I already leave a note earlier? Logically speaking, you should know this, why is it that when I was bringing my people away, no one stopped me?"
Li Sicong's attitude and words had already attracted the displeasure of everyone present. With the sound of sharp blades unsheathing from the scabbard, everyone's swords were drawn.
Zhao Fangluo, the other deputy commander, who had been silent all this time, had already jumped down from her horse, pulled out her sword and said, "Boy, it's good that you've acknowledged me. You'd better blame yourself for being caught, otherwise don't blame me for having no eyes on my sword, and then I'll accidentally take off one of your arms or legs."
Li Sicong was still unconcerned, he looked at Zhao Fang Luo and said: "Those words that you said, felt like it was true. Those people that don't know about it, they think that you have already removed my arms and legs, right? But with just you, do you have the ability to do so? "
"Then you can try if I have the ability."
With that said, Zhao Fangluo thrusted her sword towards Li Sicong.
Seeing the sword piercing towards him, Li Sicong extended his hand and placed the sword horizontally in front of him. With a clang, Zhao Fangluo's long sword stabbed into the sword's blade.
Zhao Fang felt a strong force coming from the sword's body. Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt as if his right arm had been electrocuted, causing a strong numbing feeling.
Then, Zhao Fanghuo felt a heart-wrenching pain coming from her arm. The grip of the sword in her hand became unstable and it actually fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
When he looked at Zhao Fang's arm again, it was already hanging down powerlessly. The sleeves of his entire arm had been torn apart, turning into pieces. The arm that was exposed under the sleeve had turned blood-red.
Zhao Fangluo screamed miserably, supporting her right side with her left hand as she said with a sorrowful voice, "My arm …"
"Hehe, so you're not going to remove my arm? You're going to remove your own? You've really scared me quite a bit."
