After being chased after my engagement was broken off, my Iron Shirt skill instantly reached max lev

Chapter 50 Max Level Golden Bell Shield

"Bang..."

Ah!

Before the city guard commander could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a deadly danger envelop him. He trembled and drew his sword to try and block the palm strike.

But to his surprise, almost the instant he slashed out, the palm strike seemed to be accompanied by a violent wave.

Not only was he sent flying several meters away, but he also knocked seven or eight city guards behind him away.

"Pfft..."

The city guard commander plunged his long sword into the ground to steady himself, but he could not suppress the surging blood in his chest and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking up, I saw the seven or eight people who had just been thrown into the air lying on the ground, each with blood trickling from their mouths, in great pain.

It was obvious that he had been seriously injured by that palm strike.

He watched the young man walking towards him step by step.

At this moment, the city guard commander's eyes were filled with solemnity and astonishment.

"He's too strong. He sent me flying with a single palm strike and injured seven or eight people at the same time. Could it be that he has reached the sixth rank?"

No! Absolutely not!

He immediately rejected the idea as soon as it crossed his mind. The reason was simple: as someone who had already reached the peak of the seventh rank, he naturally knew what would happen if this palm strike was made of true qi.

There's no way he could still stand up right now!

"Stop right there! If you take another step, don't blame me for being rude!"

As Li Xiuyuan walked towards him step by step, the city guard commander couldn't help but feel increasingly terrified.

A feeling of being targeted and preyed by a ferocious beast intensified the dangerous fear in his heart.

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth, draw his long sword which had sunk into the cold ground of the street, and roar with a fierce but weak voice.

But it was clear that Li Xiuyuan didn't take the guard commander seriously at all at this moment.

However, the "Three Thousand Waves Palm" technique that Li Xiuyuan had just casually used gave him a sense of experience.

This "Three Thousand Overlapping Waves Palm" is much more powerful than he imagined. He wondered if he could inflict some damage on a sixth-grade martial artist if he used it at full power, with each palm strike stacked on top of the others, given his current condition.

"Surround him and kill him!"

When the city guard commander saw Li Xiuyuan still walking towards him step by step, he immediately gritted his teeth and roared.

The guards who had already drawn their swords saw their commander brandish his long sword and slash down at Li Xiuyuan, who was stepping forward.

They naturally did not hesitate at all. After all, in their view, no matter how strong Li Xiuyuan was, he was still just one person. As long as they attacked together, Li Xiuyuan would not be able to defend himself and would be suppressed!

This Li Xiuyuan is someone the city lord specifically requested to capture, and not only the city lord's mansion, but also the Lin family, the Shangguan family, and others have all requested him.

If they could capture Li Xiuyuan, they would gain countless benefits!

Therefore, at that moment, the city guards swarmed forward the instant their commander roared.

The city guards of Yunzhou City are all at the peak of the ninth rank, and many of them have even been promoted to the eighth rank.

At that moment, the group of men swung their waist knives down at Li Xiuyuan.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't take the city guards' attacks seriously at all. He didn't even dodge or flinch, letting each strike land directly on the illusory golden bell shield around him.

These attacks naturally couldn't leave any mark at all; they weren't even enough to tickle Li Xiuyuan.

Just as the city guard commander brought his long sword down towards Li Xiuyuan, Li Xiuyuan reached out and grabbed the sword.

Then, to the astonishment of the city guard commander, Li Xiuyuan squeezed hard.

"Click-clack..."

The long sword immediately began to twist and deform.

At that moment, Li Xiuyuan released his grip and reached out to grab the commander in front of him.

As the Absorption Technique was activated, the city guard suddenly felt as if his whole body was enveloped by a terrifying suction force, and his body involuntarily moved forward.

The head was brought under Li Xiuyuan's outstretched hand.

"You... hurry, give it to me..."

Sensing that his pure internal energy had been instantly drained, the city guard commander's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiuyuan turned around and grabbed the city guards who were forcefully slashing at his illusory golden bell shield.

"what……"

"No, no, my power... no!"

In no time, Li Xiuyuan had completely drained the power of all the city guards present.

Take a deep breath and feel your dantian and meridians being filled with pure internal energy.

There are also some minor insights into the way of the sword.

However, Li Xiuyuan did not linger for long, because the patrolling city guards had just released a signal, revealing his location.

I estimate that many people are heading here at this time.

As for these people, having absorbed their internal energy and martial arts, Li Xiuyuan did not continue to attack. He took a step forward, and his figure transformed into a blur as he disappeared into the darkness.

After Li Xiuyuan disappeared, the city guard commander collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with lingering fear and despair.

Just then, the void trembled not far away, and figures flew swiftly toward their location.

Soon, Zhu Shan, a burly man dressed in the uniform of the city guard commander with cloud patterns, stood in front of the city guards who were either slumped on the ground or unconscious after being injured by the palm strike and absorbing the power.

He looked at the commander, who had suddenly aged ten years in a daze, and then spoke:

"Which direction did Li Xiuyuan go?"

The city guard commander, whose power had been drained, pointed expressionlessly behind him.

He did not speak.

At this moment, Shangguan Hongtao and an elder from the Lin family also arrived here with their entourage.

When they saw the guards and city guards on the ground, whose internal energy had been drained, they all frowned.

"Lin Cheng, what's wrong with you...?"

The elder of the Lin family, upon seeing the Lin family guard commander sitting cross-legged on the ground, immediately went forward to check on him and then frowned and spoke.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the commander named Lin Cheng immediately gave a wry smile and said:

"Ninth Elder, this Li Xiuyuan is much stronger than we imagined. However, he should be at the peak of the seventh rank now, and he has not yet cultivated true qi."

We had barely met when he used that internal energy absorption technique to drain us dry!

Why……"

Lin Cheng sighed deeply as he spoke.

Now that he has lost all his powers and has become an ordinary person, he can almost foresee his life in the Lin family from now on.

From a high-ranking leader to the lowest laborer!

But what can be done about it?

"This... damn it."

Li Xiuyuan must have mastered that mysterious technique that absorbs people's power. We must suppress and kill him completely before he becomes truly powerful.

Shangguan Hongtao nodded slightly after hearing what the Ninth Elder of the Lin family said.

"Elder Lin Tao is right. Commander Zhu Shan, it seems we need to work together and mobilize all the martial arts practitioners in Yunzhou City."

Only in this way can we find and capture Li Xiuyuan.

"Don't worry, our patriarch said that although the power-absorbing technique that Li Xiuyuan possesses belongs to our Shangguan family, as long as we capture Li Xiuyuan, the Shangguan family will take out this technique and we can share it!"

Ok?

Upon hearing Shangguan Hongtao's words, everyone else present looked at him in shock.

Whether it's Zhu Zheng or Lin Tao.

Or perhaps it's some people who are hiding in the shadows and haven't appeared yet, like Han Jingfu, who is standing on a rooftop not far away, wearing a blood-stained gray-white robe.

They all doubted what Shangguan Hongtao had said.

Naturally, he met Zhu Zheng and Lin Tao's meaningful gazes.

Shangguan Hongtao did not offer any explanation whatsoever.

By speaking out now, he is essentially telling everyone, "If you're so capable, go and capture Li Xiuyuan."

But no matter who captures it, my Shangguan family must obtain this skill. We can share it with you, but you cannot keep it all to yourself!

As for why the family head would do this, Shangguan Hongtao didn't want to think too much about it. Moreover, for him, Li Xiuyuan seemed to be becoming increasingly uncontrollable.

It's fine if the entire Yunzhou City turns against him, since Young Master Qingyun will be arriving in Yunzhou City soon anyway.

He is a member of the Shangguan family in Yunzhou, and he is also the deputy commander of the Zhenwu Hall, which is backed by the Dali Dynasty!

All that's left is for Young Master Qingyun to bring the Zhenwu Guards to Yunzhou City. Once they arrive, no matter who Li Xiuyuan falls into, he will be suppressed by the Zhenwu Hall.

By then, Li Xiuyuan would still be at the mercy of the Shangguan family.

"Indeed, that's how it should be. Li Xiuyuan is becoming increasingly arrogant and is one of the most unstable and dangerous figures in Yunzhou."

As the commander of the Yunzhou City Guard, for the sake of Yunzhou's stability and the safety of all its inhabitants, Li Xiuyuan must be captured as soon as possible!

Zhu Zheng immediately spoke coldly.

"Commander Zhu is absolutely right. This Li Xiuyuan has repeatedly attacked my Lin family and killed my family members. My Lin family must capture and suppress this scoundrel to give an explanation to the souls of my Lin family who have perished!"

Lin Tao immediately spoke up in a righteous and righteous tone.

Shangguan Hongtao stood there, and upon hearing their conversation, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

But he didn't say anything, because no matter what, the priority was to find Li Xiuyuan.

"Leave a few men to take them back, the rest of you follow me and continue the chase!"

Zhu Zheng didn't linger. He gave an order to the people around him, then turned around and, with a flash, led the city guards in a swift pursuit towards the direction where Li Xiuyuan had disappeared...

It's almost dawn.

Li Xiuyuan was cornered at the end of a street, surrounded by at least thirty or forty people.

Among them were members of the city guards and members of the Lin family.

What puzzled Li Xiuyuan was that there were no guards from the Shangguan family among them.

However, Li Xiuyuan didn't think about that right now.

After his previous act of feigning weakness, he was surrounded and relentlessly attacked by countless swords and even arrows.

All of these were completely blocked by Li Xiuyuan's Golden Bell Shield.

Looking at the panel in front of me:

【…

2. Use the Golden Bell Shield to withstand at least 3000 attacks! (2999/3000)

...]

The conditions for reaching the maximum level of the Golden Bell Shield are about to be met.

Sensing the martial artists surrounding them, they all wore worried expressions, cautiously avoiding getting too close for fear that they might suddenly drain them dry.

But more than anything, it was an overwhelming surge of excitement.

Li Xiuyuan was completely used to these pursuers whose faces displayed a mixture of two expressions.

"Li Xiuyuan, let's see where you can run now!"

The crowd dispersed, and a Lin family elder appeared, holding a long sword and looking at them coldly.

Li Xiuyuan could also see another group of city guards approaching from not far away.

Moreover, half of the city guards were armed with bows and crossbows.

Without a doubt, he is now surrounded and has nowhere to escape!

Based on my perception, there are two Rank 6 beings right in front of me.

One was the elder of the Lin family standing before them, and the other was a commander of the city guards not far away.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan could also sense that there were several other auras hidden on the rooftops or in the attics not far away.

It's almost dawn, so I can't stay here too long. Otherwise, if more sixth-rank martial artists arrive, it will be troublesome for me to leave!

Immediately, Li Xiuyuan grabbed a guard holding a long sword not far away.

With a "whoosh," a long sword that was in the guard's hand flew into Li Xiuyuan's hand.

"You still dare to resist at this point? You're asking for death!"

The elders of the Lin family chased after them for two full hours, losing many men along the way.

He was already furious. With a roar, he drew his longsword, his true energy surging and wrapping around the blade.

He slashed down at Li Xiuyuan with his sword!

"Buzz"...

The illusory image of the golden bell shield surrounding Li Xiuyuan shattered with a roar, and the sword energy that was not completely blocked struck him directly.

Li Xiuyuan took a few steps back and stood still. Even though the sword energy was blocked by the Golden Bell Shield, it still stung his body.

"You think you can block that? Then I'll see how many swords you can block!"

Young man, you haven't even cultivated true qi yet, and you already want to withstand my sword qi head-on? You're still too young.

You have no idea of ​​the enormous gap between you and me!

Kneel down!

The elder of the Lin family took a step forward, his violent true energy flowing into the long sword in his hand, and slashed down at Li Xiuyuan from mid-air.

Faced with this fierce and terrifying sword strike, Li Xiuyuan looked at the max level notification on the panel in front of him and couldn't help but smile slightly.

The immense internal energy within his body surged and churned wildly like a giant wave, instantly filling all the meridians in his body.

At this moment, the Golden Bell Shield is at its maximum level!

A hurricane howled around Li Xiuyuan, and a pale golden bell-shaped phantom began to solidify as it spun continuously...
