Chapter Four: The Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly spoke: "What’s the matter, Old Cheng? Are you afraid to take action? They are still young; you wouldn’t be scared of them, would you?"

At this moment, with the sword of Cheng Yaojin in hand, the spirit of battle is high, and confidence is abundant

This statement serves as a reminder to Cheng Yaojin that these individuals are merely cultivated by Luo Tong; even though they are the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun, they are not the same group as those from back in the day

Cheng Yaojin let out a long howl and swung his sharp sword to strike.

So arrogant, even more so than I am. Let me show you how to sever your swords!

Li Shimin inhaled sharply

At this moment, Li Shimin wished he could immediately find Luo Tong to inquire about the method of training these eighteen individuals

He, as an elder, must be taught a lesson

Li Shimin was astonished

I originally did not wish to take action, but since you insist on pursuing me to become a turtle slave, I must apologize. Let Duke Su teach these fellows a lesson

But now he is old

At this moment, Li Shimin was very excited; he wanted to find Luo Tong immediately to inquire about this forging technique

My sword has actually been broken?

As soon as the words were spoken, the eighteen individuals simultaneously drew their swords!

Is this the person trained by Luotong

Your Majesty, they all have weapons, but I do not have any weapons!

It is evident that he is unwilling to accept it

In other words, the swords of these eighteen individuals can sever his sword

Of course, www.hetushu.com. Luo Tong is after all the son of Luo Cheng, so it is certainly impossible to defeat Luo Tong

You have lost the battle, and now I will seal your martial arts, making you serve as turtle slaves in this Tianxiang Tower for one month

In an instant, beams of sword light flickered, and the speed of the confrontation between both sides was so rapid that the onlookers could hardly comprehend what was happening. They could only see the continuous flashes of sword light and figures moving about the scene

Clang!

Li Shimin looked at the soldiers confronting Cheng Yaojin and shook his head

With such strength, dealing with these eighteen individuals should be a piece of cake

Hehe, he is an outsider and surely does not know the prowess of these eighteen individuals

Although the opponent consists of eighteen individuals working together, and although Cheng Yaojin has aged and no longer possesses the combat strength of his peak years, this is still Cheng Yaojin

If he were ten years younger, he would definitely go up and do it without a second thought

The defeated Cheng Yaojin's face turned red, and his anger surged throughout his body

Cheng Yaojin was stunned, frozen in place

They must have heard of this name. The eighteen individuals who followed Grandfather Luo Yi back in the day were exceptionally skilled in martial arts. When they joined forces on the battlefield, they could almost take the enemy general's head amidst ten thousand troops.

In that year, Luo Cheng also trained eighteen individuals as the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, who were exceptionally valiant on the battlefield. Unfortunately, those eighteen also perished alongside Luo Cheng in battle

Then, he unsheathed the sword at his waist and threw it over, saying: "Take this sword and fight for me!"

Having lost, one must find an excuse; otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing

As everyone exchanged words, the expressions of Li Shimin and Cheng Yaojin changed dramatically.

What exactly did Luo Tong do in Huizhou? It's one thing for these eighteen individuals to be formidable, but even the swords in their hands are so powerful!

Whether one can defeat these eighteen individuals is a question, and if one were to lose, especially in front of the Emperor, it would be quite embarrassing

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun

Are you afraid? Am I afraid of them?

However, the eighteen individuals looked at Cheng Yaojin as if he were a fool. Suddenly, one of them spoke up: "The time wasted is a bit excessive"

Li Shimin widened his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief

With that, Luo Yi's figure flashed, and he struck out with a sword!

However, the eighteen soldiers before him are still capable of fighting

"Pursue victory relentlessly?" Luo Yi chuckled and said: "Your sword is quite good, but that is all there is to it!"

The sword in hand shattered a gap

Come on, all of you, let's go together

Moments later, a figure retreated to Li Shimin's side, and only then did the crowd realize that the person was Cheng Yaojin

Why is that person's sword so sharp

I have indeed heard the governor mention that these eighteen individuals are the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun, who are quite formidable

Li Shimin squinted his eyes and said, "That makes sense"

Cheng Yaojin glared and said: "My lord, just watch, I will send them all flying!"

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin felt somewhat hesitant

Upon arriving in Huizhou, I have encountered so many issues without even having seen that rascal Luo Tong. It is imperative to establish authority right away.

I was careless

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin appeared somewhat miserable, his clothes tattered and torn by the sword's light, and the crown on his head had fallen off, leaving his hair disheveled like that of a beggar

Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up

Cheng Yaojin is very excited

He knew that he had underestimated these eighteen individuals, as well as the effort required to cultivate them.

Cheng Yaojin hooked his right index finger towards the eighteen men, and his entire demeanor surged with a formidable presence, revealing the spirit of one who has galloped across the battlefield

Cheng Yaojin took the sword, and a look of delight appeared in his eyes

The leader of the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun furrowed his brow and said: "This person is very strong, do not hold back, let’s take him on together"

With a swift motion of his sword, Cheng Yaojin pointed at the eighteen men and laughed, saying: "I will settle the score with you right now!"

Who is Cheng Yaojin? He is one of the eighteen heroes of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Most of those who ranked among the top of those eighteen have now passed away. In terms of the Tang dynasty, the only ones who could match Cheng Yaojin in combat would be Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.

Indeed, these eighteen individuals are not the same eighteen who followed Luo Cheng; how could Cheng Yaojin possibly fear these people

It has been broken into two pieces

It has become too arrogant and dismissive of others

This time it is a discreet inspection, and he did not bring his two axes. Without weapons, his combat capability is directly reduced by half

This is the emperor's sword, forged from refined iron by a master craftsman. It is extremely sharp, and ordinary weapons would shatter after just a few clashes with it

Clang!

This... how is this possible! Li Shimin's voice trembled slightly

The clash of dual swords, sparks flying in all directions

With this sword in hand, although it is not as convenient as his large axe, as long as he utilizes the sharpness of this sword to sever the weapons in the hands of those eighteen individuals, without their swords, those eighteen will certainly not be his match

If we teach a lesson to the soldiers under Luo Tong in front of us, it will not only resolve Emperor Li Shimin's crisis but also give Luo Tong a warning

Another person: "Why waste words with him? Just break his sword directly!"

Having finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin's figure flickered and transformed into a fleeting shadow as he charged forward

However, the onlookers around were looking at the scene as if they were watching a fool

Cheng Yaojin came to his senses and, upon hearing the whistling sound, instinctively raised his sword to defend himself

At this moment, Luo Yi, at the forefront, looked at Li Shimin and Cheng He - Tu - Shujin.

Li Shimin quickly looked at Luo Yi's sword, then turned to observe the swords of the other seventeen individuals, discovering that the swords of these eighteen people were identical

That person took three steps back, while Cheng Yaojin remained in place and did not retreat

However, Cheng Yaojin gazed at the sharp sword in his hand, his eyes revealing a look of confusion

Cheng Yaojin was so furious upon hearing these words that he felt as if his lungs were about to explode

Another person: "His confidence comes from his sword"

Cheng Yaojin actually lost?

Li Shimin, who was behind, did not see the situation. Seeing Cheng Yaojin standing still, he could not help but frown and said, "Old Cheng, why aren't you pursuing the victory?"

Subsequently, the sword in Cheng Yaojin's hand broke.

How capable can Luotong be, and how impressive can the individuals it cultivates become

Li Shimin appeared to be enjoying the spectacle, showing no concern that Cheng Yaojin would be unable to defeat eighteen opponents single-handedly

I do not know why, but I suddenly want to mourn for him, nor do I know if his two hundred pounds of flesh is enough to withstand the blows

But now, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun have appeared again

Having finished speaking, Luo Yizhao rushed forward towards Li Shimin

You wish for me to return to being a turtle slave, truly you must have the audacity of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage

Is it that that kid Luotong has mastered some special forging technique

Is this old fellow a fool? Does he think he can fight against the eighteen riders of the governor?

This time, the eighteen individuals did not strike simultaneously; instead, the leader, Luo Yi, raised his sharp sword to block.
