I Have A Martial Dao World

Zuo Xiaowei led everyone into a mansion.

A woman with a pale face greeted them at the front door with a smile, it was Yu Yanmei.

Due to her serious injuries, she looked less sharp and more delicate.

Li Pei hurriedly rushed over to carefully examine his master all over, complaining, "You were told not to come, but you just wouldn't listen..."

Yu Yanmei, standing over 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than Li Pei, gently stroked her disciple's head and said, "I'm in the Flesh Realm, a small injury like this is no problem, I'll recover in a few days."

Zuo Xiaowei sighed with admiration, "Grandmaster Yu is truly a heroine among women!

The bandit leader, the White-eyed Tiger, has lost his mind and wants to dig up the 'Capital River' to launch a water attack!

Downstream, there's not only us but also countless civilians; such an action would undoubtedly lead to catastrophe.

Luckily, Grandmaster Yu risked her life to stop it, but she herself fell into an encirclement and suffered severe injuries."

Only then did Lu Yao and the others understand why Yu Yanmei was injured.

Zuo Xiaowei reminded them, "For martial artists, it's best not to suffer severe injuries, otherwise it could damage the foundation.

My father's Golden Body was breached by powerful enemies twice, which led to a great reduction in his lifespan. Some injuries might seem healed to the naked eye, but they actually reach deep inside..."

The group chatted casually for a few moments.

Zuo Xiaowei kept glancing at Lu Yao, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't and politely excused himself and left.

After he left, Li Pei said,

"It seems the war is going badly. Young Master Zuo clearly wanted to ask for your help, but since we have already donated ten thousand taels of silver, and considering the shallowness of our relationship, he could not bring himself to say it."

Yu Yanmei sighed, "Young Master Zuo is entangled with demon beasts, and the situation of strength has turned. Currently, in the army, only the commander Liu Jintang is left at the Innate; among the bandits, Agubai is at the Leakless stage, and he has his son and the White-eyed Tiger, both Innates."

This was far from just "bad"; it was outright "dire."

"No wonder the Government Forces dare not leave the city..."

Upon arrival, they had noticed the Government Forces hunkered down inside the city, wearing an undeniable look of panic on their faces.

In the wars of Otherworld, not only was military strength a factor, but the role of experts was also crucial.

With such a disparity, it meant that the disadvantaged side couldn't even leave their gates, as they would be attacked immediately upon doing so.

Furthermore, once a battle started, it would be difficult to secure one's own important facilities like the cannon emplacements.

At this point, Yu Yanmei examined Lu Yao from top to bottom and praised, "Lu Xiaozi, a prodigy graced by heaven, has advanced to the Innate Realm. This truly calls for congratulations."

Li Pei laughed in agreement, "Hearing you were in trouble, my lord immediately brought us here."

Lu Yao bowed, "Previously, Grandmaster Yu took care of me, so this time I will certainly eliminate the bandits to avenge you!"

Yu Yanmei shook her head, "Eliminate the bandits? That's quite the bold statement, given that Agubai is at the Leakless stage.

However, with your ability, you should be able to take down that White-eyed Tiger! The man is cruel and cunning, and utterly unscrupulous in allying with foreign demon beasts. He must be killed if the opportunity arises!"

Just as Lu Yao nodded in agreement, the sharp sound of a manually operated alarm suddenly rang out from the city.

"The thieves must be attacking, taking advantage of my injury," Yu Yanmei slung the Longquan Sword on her back, "Let's hurry to Commander Liu's residence."

Li Pei had just hugged his master and knew how weak she was at the moment, "Let my lord go alone, you should rest properly."

Yu Yanmei shook her head, "I must make an appearance, otherwise, the troops will lose heart!"

~~~~~~~~~

Yu Yanmei took a deep breath, her face calm and her steps steady as she led Lu Yao and the others to the military council.

Along the way, they encountered many soldiers in a panic, who immediately stood at attention and saluted as soon as they saw her coming, their expressions less frantic.

The group arrived at Commander Liu Jintang's residence of the Western Expedition Army.

Countless military officers were waiting there, and upon seeing Lu Yao, they all stood up to greet him.

Commander Liu Jintang saluted, "I have long admired the great name of Grandmaster Lu. Today's matters are urgent; please forgive this officer's neglect."

"Commander Liu need not worry about me, the important matters come first," Lu Yao said and then stood behind Yu Yanmei.

Liu Jintang nodded in thanks, then relayed a piece of news—

Agubai bandits had risen up in full force, with 50,000 troops, and they had also coerced 30,000 civilians, marching towards Dihua City.

The faces of those present turned grim.

At this moment, the Dihua garrison only numbered 30,000, which was not too deficient. But the disparity in high-end combat power was indeed drastic.

Once the battle commenced, an unconstrained Innate Grandmaster could charge into the city and cause tremendous destruction.

At this point, everyone turned to look towards Lu Yao.

Liu Jintang bowed deeply, saying solemnly, "I earnestly request Young Master Lu's assistance to help this official defend the city! Should Dihua fall, it would surely affect Master Zuo, leading to a chain reaction!"

Lu Yao responded seriously, "Since I have come, there is no reason for me to stand by and watch." Read exclusive adventures at empire

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Jintang was especially grateful—thank goodness Lu Yao had arrived, otherwise, this battle would have been unwinnable.

The generals continued to discuss the details of the city's defense.

Just then, the loud humming of aircraft engines came from the sky.

Even those with the lowest cultivation level among the people present were at the Organ Refining stage, and their senses were far keener than ordinary people, so they immediately looked up.

At an altitude of 4 kilometers, a twin-propeller biplane was heading straight for Dihua City.

This aircraft was extremely large, with a length of 17 meters and a wingspan of 40 meters. It was none other than the Rakshasa's "Ilya Muromets" bomber.

"Fuck! The Rakshasa's planes are here again!"

"Quick, bring the cannon over!"

This old bomber clearly had malicious intentions, seeking to strike at the morale of the defenders.

But at this time, it was also quite difficult for those inside Dihua City to deal with this contraption flying at an altitude of 4 kilometers.

Countless soldiers, unsure what to do, were holding guns, while others pushed over a Jiade "Krupp 88mm cannon."

A Spirit Refining Expert who had entered a meditative state fired two shots. However, his cultivation level was too low, and the difficulty was even greater due to shooting from a lower position to a higher one—the cannonballs didn't even come close to the plane.

The next second, the bomber dropped an 800KG bomb! This thing could level a city block.

The bomb produced a piercing whistle as it fell, causing countless people to scream in panic and scatter in all directions.

It would take about 13 seconds for the bomb to hit the ground, which was enough time for Lu Yao.

He walked up to the 88mm cannon, made a slight adjustment to the barrel, and pressed the firing mechanism, firing with great force.

A cannonball whistled out of the barrel and hit the mid-air bomb precisely!

With a thunderous boom, a burst of fire and smoke restored peace to the sky.

Lu Yao pulled open the breechblock, ejecting an arm-sized shell casing before loading a new one, then aiming at the bomber.

The pilot was a clever one. As soon as he saw the bomb being blasted in mid-air, he immediately realized there was a Spirit Refining Expert in the city and quickly controlled the aircraft to escape in an irregular trajectory.

Lu Yao adjusted the barrel calmly and unhurriedly.

At this moment, two Blood-Exchange Realm generals came over and lifted the 88mm cannon onto their shoulders, shouting,

"Grandmaster Lu, we'll bear the cannon for you! Shoot it down!"

With someone shouldering and adjusting the barrel, it was much more convenient for Lu Yao. He nodded in thanks to them and then entered the Spirit Refining State.

Wind speed, humidity, the speeds and movement trajectories of both friend and foe, he had everything under control.

With a huge bang, a massive blaze burst from the mouth of the cannon as the cannonball roared out, and the initial velocity of 760 meters per second easily caught up to the aircraft.

In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed as though the bomber was catching the cannonball itself.

The cannonball pierced through it, creating a large hole and continued to fly.

The bomber, having suffered such damage, lost its ability to fly and, emitting black smoke, spiraled down, exploding violently upon impact with the ground, with flames and thick smoke filling the sky.

Cheers erupted from around, and the people suddenly remembered—this Lu Sect Grandmaster was also a Spirit Refinement of Divine Fetal Breathing expert!
