“I have won, Prince Ji. I said I would kill you, and now I have done it.”
The enormous centaur, now split in two, stood upright, its body radiating the bloodthirsty aura of the victim, which was gradually dissipating as the murderer's death took hold.
The dark red evil energy transformed into white smoke invisible to others, and countless relieved faces appeared in mid-air.
Another part of their obsession entered Ye Li's body; they wanted to follow their benefactor to see if he could change the world.
“I understand your intentions. I made a vow in the past to change this world, and I will keep my word.”
However, your battle, and ours, is not over yet. Now is the time to eradicate evil completely.
Ye Li did not sheath his sword, but instead gazed at the Northern soldiers whose morale was on the verge of collapse due to the death of the King of Ji.
Should he thank them for their efforts, for gathering their troops ahead of time? At least half of King Ji's warriors are here.
"Face me, and be careful in your next life."
A white figure weaved back and forth among the fleeing troops, while the pale, waning moon danced in the air, leaving behind trails of blood outside Yulong Pass.
At the end of August in the year 995 of the Heavenly Stems calendar, you slew King Ji, one of the three kings of the Northern Frontier, at Yulong Pass.
[You conveniently disposed of the soldiers belonging to Prince Ji; at least 60% of their troops were left permanently outside Yulong Pass by you.]
[He who kills will be killed in return; you hope they can learn this lesson with their own lives.]
You rested at Yulong Pass for three days, perhaps out of fear, or perhaps out of gratitude. Inside the pass, both soldiers and ordinary people held you in the highest esteem.
On the third day, as you prepared to set off to continue dealing with the Wolf King, you received good news.
"You mean, the wolf king has already escaped?"
"Ah, yes, Lord Ye, it's like this. According to news from other cities, the Wolf King has already gathered his troops and returned."
Liu Yong, the commander of Yulong Pass, stood in front of Ye Li and told him the good news.
Yes, the general who was instantly killed by Ji Wang at the start of the battle did not die. Instead, he was lucky enough to survive until after the battle and was carried back by his soldiers for emergency treatment.
While his strength may not be comparable to that of figures like Ji Wang or Ye Li, it is still considerable. In just three days, he has recovered to the point where he can walk normally again.
However, this guard dared not say anything superfluous in front of Ye Li, remaining completely still, for fear that he might accidentally say or do something wrong and end up like Prince Ji.
It wasn't that he was being petty and judging others by his own standards, but this man was indeed too ruthless. He had called on all the people in the city to deal with the corpses outside, but they hadn't all been buried yet.
"Why did the wolf king run away so fast? Are you sure he took everyone with him?"
"That's right, not a single one was left; they all ran away. Our border troubles are finally over."
Liu Yong knew perfectly well why the wolf king had run away.
The hero, warrior, god, and otherworldly being before us is indeed terrifyingly powerful.
Several defeated troops belonging to the King of Steeds went to join the Wolf King, and the Wolf King sensed that the situation was not good.
The defeated army arrived in the morning, while the wolf king fled in the afternoon.
Since we've already looted the supplies, going back now is a win-win situation. We can also take advantage of the time difference and absorb the resources left behind by King Ji in the Northern Territory.
He is a cunning wolf and will not be so reckless as to confront Ye Li, a god of death, head-on.
"It's over, that's good. It's just that some people haven't received the retribution they deserve."
