Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

After kicking Er Kang, the mysterious man grinned menacingly and said, "Hmph, is that all you've got? You think you can catch me?"

Yongqi was furious, and his sword moves became even more ferocious: "You villain, you hurt my brother, today you will pay a terrible price!"

The mysterious man nimbly dodged, still hurling insults: "How dare you talk such nonsense! If you've got the guts, come over here and see if you take my life or if I take you all down!"

Xiao Jian steadied himself and said calmly, "You're at your wit's end. Stop making futile resistance and surrender obediently. Maybe we can spare your life."

"A way out? When has your court ever given us a way out?" The mysterious man said as he seized the opportunity and suddenly rushed towards Xiao Jian, trying to break through his defenses on this side.

Xiao Jian quickly parried and countered, saying, "You have committed numerous evils and harmed the people; how can the imperial court tolerate you!"

Ignoring his aching shoulder, Er Kang rejoined the battle, shouting, "Why waste words with him? Take him down quickly and rid the capital of this scourge!"

The mysterious man was surrounded by three people, fighting his way through, but he was gradually becoming overwhelmed. However, he still resisted stubbornly, shouting, "You think I'll submit to the law? Not so easy! Even if I die, I'll take you all down with me!"

Yongqi spotted an opening in the mysterious man's defenses and thrust his sword forward like lightning. "Let's see if you have the chance!"

The mysterious man barely dodged the attack, but accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground, causing him to sway.

Xiao Jian reacted swiftly, stepping forward and striking the mysterious man hard on the back with the hilt of his sword, causing the man to stagger forward a few steps.

"Grab him!" Er Kang shouted.

Upon hearing the shouts, the guards quickly surrounded the mysterious man, making it impossible for him to get through.

The mysterious man looked at the forest of swords and knives all around him. Though he was panicked, he remained defiant: "Don't be too happy yet. Even if I'm captured, you won't have an easy time! My men won't let you go!"

Yongqi sneered, "You think you still have a chance to tip someone off? Don't be delusional!"

The mysterious man suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Haha, you think capturing me is all that matters? The Shadow Cult's influence is deeply entrenched; you can't possibly eradicate it all!"

Xiao Jian's eyes blazed as he stared at the mysterious man: "Then we'll dig them out one by one until we're completely wiped out. You are the first breakthrough!"

The mysterious man curled his lip in disdain: "You won't get any useful information out of me."

Er Kang retorted angrily, "You think we can't do anything to you just because you don't talk? Don't overestimate your abilities!"

At this moment, a guard stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Jian, "Young Master Xiao, there are still many enemies around here putting up a stubborn resistance. What should we do?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Jian shouted, "Brothers, let's focus on taking care of these enemies. Leave no one alive! As for this mysterious man, I'll personally guard him. He won't be able to escape!"

"Yes!" the guards responded in unison, turning to engage the other enemies in battle.

Looking at the still struggling mysterious man, Yongqi couldn't help but say, "Look at your current situation, why don't you confess honestly? What other schemes are you plotting?"

The mysterious man closed his eyes and remained silent.

Er Kang said anxiously, "This guy is very stubborn. It seems we need to think of a way to get him to talk."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly: "He's clinging to a sliver of hope, thinking that as long as he doesn't talk, there's nothing we can do about him. But we have plenty of time and patience. I refuse to believe we can't get him to talk."

The mysterious man suddenly opened his eyes and said fiercely, "Don't waste your energy, I won't let you succeed."

Yongqi clenched his fists in anger: "You stubborn fool, you'll regret it when you suffer the consequences!"

Just then, the shouts of battle on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the other enemies had been basically eliminated by the guards.

Xiao Jian looked at the guards cleaning up the battlefield and said to the mysterious man, "See? Your men are completely routed. It's time for you to face reality."

The mysterious man remained defiant: "Hmph, even if I fail, someone will avenge me!"

Er Kang sneered, "Who will seek revenge? Do you think anyone would dare to come and die?"

The confrontation seemed to be nearing its end, but the mysterious man remained tight-lipped. What secrets was he still hiding? How would Xiao Jian and the others get him to talk? Everything was shrouded in uncertainty amidst this stalemate…
