"King Ji, I've come to kill you."
In order to pursue the main force of the King of Ji, Ye Li has not searched carefully for the small groups of troops that are still looting in the vicinity in the past few days.
Only those who were truly "lucky" enough to happen to be the ones he encountered became yet another soul lost to his sword.
Because of this, he also received their intelligence that King Ji was gathering men at Yulong Pass, preparing for a surprise attack.
He arrived just in time; as soon as he got there, he saw Prince Ji dismantling the city wall.
With such a momentum of forced demolitions and such a violent stance, it's no wonder that many people portray Ji Wang as almost like a demon or monster.
"But calling me a killing machine or something, I'm completely different from those monsters and demons."
Looking across the entire border region, is there any chivalrous hero more kind than me? No, there isn't, is there?
"Hey kid, you're the one who's been talked about like a god, the Northern Killer?"
"So this is the person you just said wanted to kill me, and dared to kill my people right in front of me?"
Perhaps due to its enormous size, Ji Wang's voice was deafening, and Ye Li found it a bit noisy.
"It's me, but I don't really like the nickname you gave me. As for you and your people, just kill them."
Ye Li had tried to correct these people's names many times. Calling him something like "White-Clad Swordsman" was fine. What were those nicknames of yours?
"Forget it, it's not important anymore. Let's finish this quickly; it won't waste much of your time."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure blurred, and at the same time, a dark shadow fell.
"boom……"
Ji Wang slammed his halberd down, striking the spot where Ye Li had just been standing.
The sheer violence, coupled with the fact that this weapon was formed from the resentment of the souls killed by the King of Horses, meant that even the aftershocks of the attack tore apart the ground of an entire street.
Earth and rocks flew everywhere. Soldiers who were close by were blasted into a bloody mist by the force, while those who were farther away were also lifted into the air as if weightless.
"Missed it?"
He possessed a level of precision commensurate with his stats, and the sensations transmitted from his weapons told him that the enemy was likely still alive.
"Such strength, such speed, it really is like a monster..."
Ye Li's voice came from the left.
He saw Ye Li standing by the collapsed city wall, seemingly unaffected by the attack.
Without the slightest hesitation or thought, Ji Wang once again swung his weapon and slashed at Ye Li.
"Whoosh..."
The black air currents transformed into blades, detached from the halberd, and sliced through the already riddled city wall.
"I've sensed the speed and power quite well. We can fight this battle, and we can win it."
Dodging the attack skillfully, Ye Li accelerated his landing, not giving himself much time to remain in the air.
As Ji Wang continued his relentless attacks, the city walls in front of Yulong Pass appeared to be nothing more than shoddy construction, offering no real defense whatsoever.
"Is this his full strength? I actually thought I could take on that monster by myself?"
Liu Yong, still lying on the ground, muttered to himself that he was still lying there because no one dared to come and rescue him from this spot.
Liu Yong felt a sense of shattering of his Dao heart. The gap between people seemed to be even greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
"Who is that expert who can rival the King of Ji?"
Ye Li himself wasn't quite sure what level he was at.
By repeatedly slaying soldiers from the northern border or wandering bandits, Ye Li could receive gifts from the dead.
They hoped Ye Li would change the world and avenge them, and Ye Li responded to their calls with his actions.
His strength also grew continuously in the process. Before facing King Ji this time, he had never encountered an opponent who could put him under pressure.
"call……"
With continuous movement and dodging, Ye Li had reached a point less than ten meters away from the King of Horses' left foreleg.
"Now, it's my turn."
He slammed on the brakes, ducked to avoid the slash that grazed his hair, and watched as the building behind him collapsed, a few strands of black hair flying away in the wind.
Ye Li didn't care. He exerted force with his right hand, gripped the hilt of the sword, and poured as much of his power into the weapon as possible.
Then, he swung his sword at the target in front of him.
"Whoosh..."
The grayish-red sword energy resembled a crescent moon; this sword strike was meant to cut off the hooves of the King of Horses.
Tripping a cavalryman is a good way to deal with them, and that's exactly what Ye Li is doing now.
"Ridiculous, you think I wouldn't be on guard?"
