Caught off guard, the soldiers of Beixiang Kingdom were thrown into chaos.
Li Kui, not to be outdone, led his team of sword-wielding soldiers in a charge, shouting as he went:
"Grandsons of the Northern Xiang Kingdom, your grandfather has come to send you to the Western Paradise!"
In an instant, the shouts of battle shook the heavens, flames soared into the sky, and the entire camp turned into a living hell.
Mu Qing was drinking in his tent when he suddenly heard shouts of battle outside, and he was immediately terrified.
"What's going on? An enemy attack?"
He hurriedly put on his armor and rushed out of the tent.
But he saw his soldiers being slaughtered by Tu Rong and Li Kui's army like cutting melons and vegetables.
"Damn it! Who attacked my camp?" Mu Qing roared.
"Your grandpa is me!"
Li Kui, wielding two large swords, charged out from the crowd and stood in front of Mu Qing.
"Li Kui? You... how did you get here?"
Mu Qing asked in alarm.
Li Kui grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth:
"I've come to take your dog's life!"
Having said that, Li Kui brandished his broadsword and slashed at Mu Qing...
The two large swords were wielded by Li Kui with great force.
The flash of the blade pierced the night sky, illuminating his rugged face, which was filled with excitement.
Mu Qing dared not take the blow head-on and quickly raised his knife to parry.
He felt a tremendous force coming at him, his tiger's mouth went numb, and he almost lost his grip on the weapon.
Mu Qing was forced to retreat by Li Kui, and his longsword was no longer wielded with any skill.
He cursed inwardly, thinking, "How come this brute has inexhaustible strength?!"
"You bastard, you're strong, but you're brainless!"
Li Kui launched a fierce attack while simultaneously taunting Li Kui.
"Your fancy footwork is only good for tickling Grandpa!"
Mu Qing was enraged by Li Kui's vulgar words.
Amidst the flashing blades and the clash of swords, the two exchanged dozens of blows in an instant.
Mu Qing was a seasoned warrior with exceptional martial arts skills, but Li Kui's strength and speed far surpassed his.
After several rounds, Mu Qing was already at a disadvantage, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Li Kui fought with increasing ferocity, each strike carrying the force of thunder, making it difficult for Mu Qing to breathe.
As he swung his knife in a fierce attack, he didn't forget to taunt them:
"Your martial arts skills are nothing special!"
"A general, my foot! I bet you can't even beat one of my soldiers!"
Enraged by Li Kui's words, Mu Qing roared:
"Arrogant brat, stop your madness!"
He used all his skills to fight Li Kui to the death.
However, the more anxious he became, the more mistakes he made.
Li Kui seized an opening and swung his broadsword fiercely.
It struck Mu Qing's sword hilt.
Mu Qing felt a numbness in his hand, and the longsword slipped from his grasp.
He was thrown to the ground by the force.
Taking advantage of the situation, Li Kui stepped forward and stomped on Mu Qing's chest.
He raised his broadsword high and shouted sharply:
"You old scoundrel, prepare to die!"
Mu Qing closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he was doomed today.
However, the expected excruciating pain did not come.
He opened his eyes in confusion.
Li Kui's broadsword stopped in mid-air.
He scratched his head, and suddenly Lu Yan's voice echoed in his mind: "Recruit the emperor!"
Li Kui paused for a moment, then sheathed his sword and moved his foot away from Mu Qing's chest.
"Damn it, I almost forgot Lord Lu's instructions!"
"Kid, you're lucky! Lord Lu has ordered that those who surrender will not be killed!"
Mu Qing was stunned. Having just escaped death, he was still in shock.
"What? You don't want to live anymore? You think you're so great!"
Seeing that Mu Qing didn't react, Li Kui impatiently poked his chest with the tip of his knife.
"If you know what's good for you, surrender now. Shannan Prefecture will provide you with good food and drink."
"I can at least find you a wife to warm your bed, which is much better than waiting to die in this godforsaken place!"
Mu Qing then came to her senses and looked at the burly man in front of her.
The man, who also had a somewhat comical air about him, hesitated.
surrender?
This was undoubtedly a great humiliation for him.
He got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and snorted coldly:
"Surrender? You want me to surrender to you mountain bandits? Dream on!"
Li Kui wasn't angry; he just smiled faintly.
"Mountain bandits and outlaws? Heh, our Shannan Prefecture is now the most prosperous place in the Great Tong Dynasty."
"The people live in peace and contentment, and the army is strong and well-equipped."
"Look at your army, it has been utterly defeated by us."
"What right do you have to be so stubborn?"
Mu Qing looked around and saw that his soldiers were either dead or wounded.
The remaining ones had lost all fighting spirit and were filled with sorrow.
I was powerless to change the situation.
Li Kui continued:
"Mu Qing, Lord Lu cherishes talent."
"As long as you are willing to surrender, our Shannan Prefecture guarantees to treat prisoners of war well."
"Not only will you not be treated unfairly, but you will also be given the opportunity to make new achievements."
Why would you needlessly throw your life away for a Northern Xiang Kingdom that is destined to fail?
Li Kui paused, then added:
"Our army in Shannan Prefecture is not only well-equipped, but also well-treated."
"Moreover, there are also unique martial arts skills personally taught by Lord Lu."
"Think about it, if you could join us, your martial arts skills would improve to a whole new level. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Shannan Prefecture... will it really treat surrendered generals well?"
Mu Qing asked tentatively.
"Nonsense! Lord Lu's word is his bond!"
"As long as you surrender, we'll immediately arrange accommodations, provide meat for every meal, and drink wine!"
