Li Zhun, watching from the sidelines, frowned deeply, feeling anxious inside.
He never expected that there would be such a master in Shannan Prefecture.
It seems I underestimated Lu Yan's strength.
Just then, Tu Rong seized an opening and slashed at the burly man's spiked club with his sword.
The immense force sent the spiked club flying.
Immediately afterwards, he swung his knife across the burly man's neck.
"Pfft!"
With a thud, blood gushed out, and the burly man collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
Li Zhun's face was ashen as he watched helplessly as his men were killed by Li Kui, his heart burning with rage.
He suddenly drew his long sword, pointed it at Lu Yan, and said through gritted teeth:
"Lu Yan, how dare you murder a government official!"
Lu Yan shrugged and said innocently:
"General Li, this is a contest. Swords have no eyes, and life and death are determined by fate."
"Besides, it's because he's less skilled than others, so he can't blame anyone else."
Lu Yan smiled dismissively, clapped his hands, and gestured for Tu Rong to step back.
Tu Rong, carrying a large sword, swaggered back behind Lu Yan.
He rolled his eyes defiantly at Li Zhun, his expression seeming to say:
"That's it? Even ten more wouldn't be enough for me to chop down!"
Li Zhun's face was ashen as he stared at the still-bleeding corpse on the ground, veins throbbing on his forehead.
He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, and pointed at Tu Rong, saying:
"The person you sent is tall and doesn't look like someone from Da Tong. This round doesn't count!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost cried.
After he finished laughing, he looked at Li Zhun with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot and said:
"General Li, are you perhaps a sore loser?"
"There are so many talented people in this world. Does that mean that people who don't look like Da Tong can't serve Da Tong?"
"With your narrow-minded thinking, no wonder that old scoundrel Liu An likes you; you're truly a den of snakes and rats!"
Li Zhun was so enraged by Lu Yan's words that his knuckles turned white as he gripped the knife.
He pointed at Lu Yan and roared:
"Lu Yan! Stop spouting nonsense! This general is devoted to the country; how dare you slander me!"
Lu Yan curled his lip in disdain.
"Come on, stop pretending. Do you think no one can see through your little scheme?"
"Isn't it just that they want to capture me and take me back so that old bastard Liu An can claim credit and reward him?"
"It's a pity you chose the wrong opponent!"
"you!"
Li Zhun was so angry he couldn't speak.
Lu Yan immediately said:
"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff, what's wrong with another round?"
"Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. If my men lose, I will turn around and leave without saying a word!"
He originally planned to send Night Owl out to teach the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry a lesson.
But Li Kui suddenly stepped forward from behind.
"My lord, let me do it!"
Li Kui spoke in a deep, booming voice, like muffled thunder, making people's eardrums buzz.
He stepped forward, waved his large, fan-like hand at Li Zhun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and shouted:
"Don't come one by one, there aren't enough of them to fight!"
"Bring a few more, Grandpa's going to clean them all up at once!"
Li Kui's contemptuous attitude and arrogant tone thoroughly enraged Li Zhun.
His forehead veins bulged, and his face was ashen.
As if ink could drip from it, he gave a stern order:
"You lot, all of you, come at me together!"
"Seize this madman! Kill him or leave him!"
Upon receiving the order, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen beside Li Zhun immediately spurred their horses forward.
The warhorse neighed, reared up, and kicked up a cloud of dust.
They brandished their gleaming weapons and attacked Li Kui like hungry wolves.
The air was thick with the glint of swords and the chilling atmosphere.
Li Kui was not afraid at all. Instead, he excitedly licked his lips and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
He held two axes, his arms bulging with muscles as if cast in steel.
With a loud roar, the sound shook the surrounding area.
Like a tiger descending a mountain, it charged into the enemy ranks with immense force.
Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Li Zhun were well-trained.
With perfect teamwork, their offensive surged like a relentless tide.
But Li Kui's martial arts skills were simply too outstanding; he wielded his double axes with impenetrable force.
Like a spinning black whirlwind, the axe blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
For a time, no one could get close to him; they could only wander around the perimeter, looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sounds of clashing weapons rang out continuously, and sparks flew everywhere.
Li Kui slashed left and right, each move deadly, every axe blow carrying the force to split mountains and shatter rocks.
Soon, several Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen fell to their deaths with screams, their blood staining the ground.
Seeing that he could not break through after a long siege, Li Zhun was extremely anxious.
He knew that if things continued like this...
The people I brought with me will probably all perish here.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and decided to take charge himself.
"Lu Yan! I will take you down today!"
Li Zhun roared, drew his long sword, spurred his warhorse, and charged towards Li Kui.
Li Zhun's swordsmanship was exquisite, and his moves were ruthless, with each strike aimed directly at Li Kui's vital points.
Li Kui dared not underestimate his enemy and wielded his double axes to defend himself with all his might.
For a time, the two fought back and forth, their swords flashing and axes clashing, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Li Zhun became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, realizing that he was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position.
This Li Kui's strength is simply monstrous.
Each axe strike made his tiger's mouth numb and his arms ache.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?!"
Li Zhun cursed inwardly, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
Li Kui, however, grew more courageous with each battle, wielding his double axes with even greater ferocity.
