Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

The further they went into Baiyue, the more mosquitoes there were, so Li Ming had now become a walking torch.

Su Mei arranged for people to scatter a ring of wood ash around the area.

Even so, it's still difficult to stop the mosquitoes flying in the sky.

"Uncle-Master, set another fire here!" Su Mei pointed with the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand, and the sword energy she unleashed left a mark in the air.

"Oh!" Upon hearing the call, Li Ming held the Sunfire Greatsword and aimed it at the mark.

The towering blue flames shot straight into the sky like a jet of fire.

The others simply marveled at the azure flames.

"Wow, as expected of a high-ranking master from Mount Taixu, his strength is unfathomable!"

"Is this the Blazing Fire Sword?"

"horrible!"

……

Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping exchanged a glance. Zhao Lianping's steel gun was stuck in the ground, but he didn't seem to like fiddling with it much these days.

Perhaps they were frightened by Qin Baijiang's manner of wielding the demonic sword.

"How is it?" Zhao Lianping raised an eyebrow.

Yan Chengying simply shook his head, raised the broken sword in his hand, and said, "If I can't even control this broken demonic sword, how can I possibly master the greatsword known as Sunfire?"

"I mean, you think this is the ability of a top-tier martial arts master?"

Zhao Lianping said that he was just a country bumpkin who hadn't seen many masters. If he had really seen masters, he wouldn't have considered his second and third leaders as his trump cards.

"Didn't you already meet that guy Li Huantong?"

Huan Tong is Li Heng's courtesy name, but when Yan Chengying mentioned Li Heng, Zhao Lianping couldn't help but twitch his lips, "I feel that guy is really too shameful."

"Are you sure it's not because Qin Baijiang is simply amazing?" Yan Chengying complained, while also organizing the others to rest with Liu Shuimiao.

Their logistics were a complete mess. If Su Mei hadn't taken over and managed it for a period of time, and hadn't used the Li Family Escort Agency to connect with many places...

This ensured that the few thousand people did not starve to death. However, now that Li Ming is preparing to attack Li Island, it is unknown whether the logistics will collapse.

"...Uncle-Master, quite a few people have appeared near the coast of the East China Sea." Cheng Ling Shuang returned carrying her sword. Now, Cheng Ling Shuang can be said to be becoming more and more of a lone wolf.

Li Ming sheathed his Sunfire Greatsword, leaving behind a trail of ashes. "Oh, so someone's still here in this godforsaken place?"

Cheng Ling Shuang covered her nose and fanned it. "Yes, those people seem to be setting up camp, but they seem to have noticed the situation here, Martial Uncle."

She pointed to the still-burning emerald flames, clearly the flames that Li Ming had been recklessly unleashing.

Obviously, Li Ming, who was setting fires everywhere, was easily noticed.

"Ling Shuang, how far are those guys?"

Those present were somewhat agitated upon hearing the news, but Li Ming, Su Mei, and Cheng Ling Shuang remained calm. Su Mei looked at Cheng Ling Shuang and asked.

Her calm tone calmed many people down. The fact that they hadn't starved to death in the mountains these past few days was entirely thanks to Su Mei's planning.

As for when Li Ming rescued them, they were almost starving to death. If it weren't for the fact that the autumn harvest in a village was almost ready, they would have survived.

"About ten li, I'm not sure exactly, but there's woodland about eight hundred paces away. It'll take them quite a while to get through the woodland." Cheng Ling Shuang estimated that her lightness skill was much faster than those guys'.

"Alright, Uncle Yan, I'd like to trouble you and Uncle Liu to organize the brothers and prepare for the enemy."

Su Mei didn't hesitate and spoke directly to Yan Chengying.

Yan Chengying didn't think much of it; he had always trusted Su Mei's judgment.

Li Ming, however, couldn't resist asking, "Why organize the brothers directly? What if they're friends?"

"I had already gathered intelligence before coming here. Most of the people here are civilized Baiyue people, and this place is very close to the coastline. You know, the Red Dragon Gang and the Japanese pirates were fighting for territory before. Now that the Red Dragon Gang is gone, the people who will appear in this area are most likely those guys." Su Mei spoke fluently. She had long ago used the Wushuang Sect to access various channels and summarized a lot of information.

Yan Chengying then organized his brothers to set up simple barricades and arrange military formations, since this woodland was not suitable for horseback riding.

"Speaking of which, haven't you guys considered talking to the other side?" Li Ming said, expressing that he wasn't used to this kind of killing that happened so easily.

Does it not advance the plot at all?

These words earned Su Mei an eye roll. Su Mei felt that she had been rolling her eyes a lot more often since she came down from the mountain.

"Uncle-Master, please don't joke around. If you're worried about the brothers suffering heavy losses, then you and Junior Sister Cheng should stay together and hold the line!"

After Su Mei finished speaking, Li Ming didn't care. He jumped up into the tree and sat down on a branch.

Cheng Ling Shuang seemed somewhat reluctant, "Senior Sister Su, I want to be at the forefront!"

"If you're leading the charge, how will the other brothers get any experience?" Su Mei tapped Cheng Ling Shuang with her finger, then told Li Ming to take Cheng Ling Shuang and stay in the tree with her.

"Alright, everyone is in formation!" Yan Chengying changed into a leather armor and held a thick, broken sword in both hands.

Li Ming, standing on higher ground, had a better view and immediately spotted the people disembarking from the ship. "Oh, there are quite a few people. How did they manage to fit them all in such a small ship? Are they Indians?"

"Uncle-Master, please stop complaining. Do you need a shield so the archers don't notice us?" Su Mei looked up at Li Ming climbing higher and higher, but Li Ming immediately refused.

"Please, if they could hit me, I'd be too shameless! Don't you think so, Ling Shuang!"

Li Ming looked at Cheng Ling Shuang beside him, and Cheng Ling Shuang nodded as well.

"Alright, hopefully we won't waste the healing medicine." Su Mei's red hair was tied up and tucked into her clothes. She then put on a leather armor. After all, female generals rarely go into battle, and having disheveled hair would indeed be difficult to fight.

Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping, on the other hand, were already sharpening their knives, ready to strike at any moment.

This made Li Ming a little bored, since those guys lingered for quite a while after getting off the ship, as if they were setting up camp.

It took Li Ming almost fifteen minutes to get over, during which time he had already swatted quite a few mosquitoes.

Seeing that some people were gradually getting within 500 paces, Li Ming raised his Sunfire Greatsword high and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to fight! Hahahaha!"

The towering blue flames were so conspicuous even in the daytime, not to mention that Li Ming's laughter echoed continuously through the mountains and forests, making it audible to everyone.

Those people were all frightened by Li Ming's laughter, but Liu Shuimiao immediately ordered the archers to aim forward, "Eight hundred paces up, fire!"

"Hey, hey, hey, 800 paces? Does that mean I can get shot too? Liu Shuimiao, are you trying to rebel?" Li Ming didn't expect the first rain of arrows to come from his own side, which made him dodge rather awkwardly.
