"You really are disappointing me. Are you really the Divine Elephant Army?"

The appearance of these soldiers, or rather, bandits, in front of him actually made Ye Li feel somewhat fortunate.

He once thought that he could use his knowledge to change Daqian and the world.

He still has the same idea, but perhaps the way to achieve this goal can be slightly modified.

Why are you here? Is the situation at the border really that bad?

Ye Li pointed his sword at the soldiers and bandits in front of him. He could see that their eyes were full of vigilance, and a trace of fear.

The guy whose arm had just been severed by Ye Li's sword didn't pick up his arm. Instead, he covered the wound with his left hand and used his muscles to stop the bleeding.

Who are you?

Answer questions with questions?

“I’m just a country bumpkin, nothing special.”

The bland answer caused these people's expressions to falter, and one by one they raised their weapons.

"An ordinary country bumpkin? How could that be? That attack just now was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve..."

The wounded soldier has the most to say about this. When his body entered the giant elephant state, he had rough, thick skin, tough flesh and tendons, and solid bones.

With this level of defense, ordinary crossbow bolts cannot penetrate the skin on the battlefield, and conventional arrows are no match for it.

Even if it's a spear from the enemy, if the material is a little inferior, he can have the enemy thrust it into his chest while he pushes forward, and breaking the spear shaft wouldn't be a problem.

This is also the source of their confidence that a dozen or so people dare to commit crimes in the surrounding villages; the people here simply cannot match them.

"But just now, when that sword cut my arm, I didn't feel any pause at all."

This mere iron sword is of questionable quality; it's not even as good as the weapons in our army.

That person, it's only possible that person has a problem!

They suspected, no, they should say they believed, that Ye Li was also a master who had entered the Dao.

But here's the problem, a problem that's completely inconsistent with their common sense.

"Why are you still alone? How can you maintain a human demeanor at a time like this?"

He sounded like a person encountering a monster; his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

After all, the current situation is completely illogical for them. It's like an ordinary person waking up to find that a sports student, after undergoing some kind of transformation, has managed to stop a steel coil with his bare hands.

He could easily cut off his arm with a single sword strike, so he could certainly kill him instantly with one strike.

Such masters exist in their Divine Elephant Army, but when they unleash their power, none of them are human.

"Ah, so this is what you are afraid of, not my power, but because I am a human being?"

Why must I be reduced to the same kind of creatures as you, not human?

He recalled how he had been afraid of Uncle Li and his group when he was young because of their inhuman power.

Now, facing an even more powerful cultivator, he feels fear because he is human?

"hehe……"

Ye Li smiled, feeling that he couldn't get any information out of the people in front of him.

However, he still had one last question.

"How many villages have you been to, and how many people have you killed?"

He did not wait for the soldiers' response, because he had already seen it.

The black and red aura that clung to these people was the wailing of the dead.

"Revenge! I want revenge!" "Why? Please, I just want to live!" "We've given you everything, please let us go."

An indescribable sense of sorrow and resentment overwhelmed Ye Li. He felt that what he had seen and heard these past few days was constantly exceeding the limits of his comprehension.

Those voices resonated with his beliefs; he could feel their pain and understand their obsessions.

"Your Excellency, although we had a conflict, there was no bloodshed in the end."

Since someone of your stature lives in this village, we won't disturb you any longer."
