Lu Li's army gave chase again.

He doesn't believe in fate, much less in the inviolability of the will of Heaven.

Now is the best opportunity to kill Liu Bang, and he must seize it.

Liu Bang panicked even more. He didn't know why Lu Li had targeted him instead of pursuing the armies of so many remnants of the six states.

Lu Li has already entered the realm of a minor grandmaster. The most powerful general by Liu Bang's side is Fan Kuai, but he is only at the peak of the ninth level and cannot stop Lu Li at all.

He took the lead and charged into the crowd. With a slash of sword energy, dozens of soldiers were cut in half at the waist, their blood splattering everywhere.

Liu Bang was so frightened he almost lost his soul and hurriedly retreated, but it was too late.

Lu Li had already closed in on him.

He held a long sword in his hand, which was pointed directly at Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was pale and his legs went weak; he almost knelt on the ground.

"Stop harming my lord!" Fan Kuai immediately roared.

He held a shield in his hand, blocking Liu Bang's path.

Lu Li slashed with his sword, the sword energy like a dragon.

Fan Kuai's shield was cleaved in two, and he himself was thrown back by the powerful force, crashing into a tree trunk dozens of feet away, coughing up blood and collapsing to the ground.

Liu Bang trembled with fear, his eyes filled with terror.

He never expected that Fan Kuai, a peak ninth-level martial artist, would be unable to withstand Lu Li's attack.

Lu Li slashed at him again, and he closed his eyes in fright, thinking he was going to die this time.

But instead of the expected pain, a scream was heard.

Liu Bang opened his eyes and saw that Xiahou Ying had been pierced through the chest by Lu Li's sword, and blood was gushing out.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Xiahou Ying!"

Xiahou Ying coughed and gripped Lu Li's longsword tightly, saying, "My lord, run!"

Liu Bang burst into tears, overwhelmed with despair.

Xiahou Ying was the person he trusted most. He always regarded Xiahou Ying as his right-hand man and protected him even at the cost of his own life.

But now, Xiahou Ying has died protecting him.

Lu Li glanced at Xiahou Ying, then snorted coldly and said, "Get lost!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Xiahou Ying was thrown out, landing more than ten meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and collapsing directly into a pool of blood.

Lu Li said coldly, "You will die today!"

After saying that, he swung his sword again, and Liu Bang screamed in fright and hid in a tree nearby.

Lu Li struck the tree with his sword, and the tree snapped in two.

He continued his pursuit, hacking and slashing his way through the enemy ranks. The surrounding rebels swarmed forward to block Lu Li, but were all cut down by Lu Li's sword and fell to the ground.

These people were also Liu Bang's confidants, but they met the same fate as Xiahou Ying earlier, dying under Lu Li's sword.

Lu Li, his eyes bloodshot, swept through the crowd, killing anyone who stood in his way with a single sword strike.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had killed all the rebels and was walking step by step toward Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was already terrified, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.

His face was filled with panic, and his eyes were full of despair.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Li thrust his sword forward.

With a clang, Lu Li's longsword was blocked by a chain, making a crisp sound.

"Young friend Lu Li, how have you been?"

Lu Li's pupils contracted, and he immediately recognized the person! It was the white-robed elder of the Mo family.

"I never expected that you would break through to the Lesser Grandmaster level in just three years. It's truly surprising."

The white-robed elder smiled faintly, his face still bearing a gentle and refined smile.

A chilling glint flashed in Lu Li's eyes as he said calmly, "You want to protect him?"

His aura suddenly erupted, and he became like a war god, dominating all directions.

The white-robed elder remained calm, a smile still on his face.

"Young friend Lu Li, you've killed so many people, aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"

Lu Li coldly replied, "Anyone who stands in my way will be killed!"

The elder in white shook his head and sighed, slowly saying, "You're still too naive, young friend."

"As the saying goes, the way of Heaven cannot be defied; haven't you realized it yet?"

The white-robed elder suddenly moved, the iron chain in his hand shooting out like a venomous snake at an extremely fast speed.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Li's eyes, and his long sword was drawn, transforming into a shooting star as it slashed towards the white-robed elder.

"Boom!"

The two collided, unleashing a thunderous roar, and the iron chain in the white-robed elder's hand was knocked away.

Lu Li's sword strike did not stop, aiming straight for the white-robed elder's throat.

The white-robed elder neither dodged nor avoided, but brandished the chains in his hand and charged towards Lu Li.

"Ding~"

The white-robed elder easily blocked the attack, then lashed out at Lu Li with the chains in his hand.

Lu Li slightly shifted his body, and the sword blade pierced through the white-robed elder's armpit, directly penetrating the elder's shoulder. Blood gushed out and splattered onto Lu Li's body.

The white-robed elder screamed and staggered back several steps, the chains slipping from his hands and falling to the ground.

His face showed a look of horror.

"How is that possible? Only three short years! Impossible!"

The white-robed elder was shocked. He was at the peak of the Lesser Grandmaster level, while Lu Li had only just entered the Lesser Grandmaster level. How could he suppress him?

Lu Li ignored the white-robed elder's words and continued to attack him.

The white-robed elder hurriedly resisted, but Lu Li's every move was extremely fierce, leaving him somewhat flustered.

Lu Li's sword strikes were like a whirlwind, each strike sharper than the last, making it impossible for Lu Li to defend against them.

"Sword transforms into a hundred shadows, covering the sky and the earth!" Lu Li roared, and the long sword in his hand transformed into thousands of sword shadows, covering the sky and the earth and enveloping the white-robed elder.
