Wei Jingzhuo dodged the boulder and circled around to avoid another. Jiang Li roared repeatedly, constantly raising stones and hurling them at Wei Jingzhuo. The huge stones crashed onto the grass, which was full of puddles, with dull thuds.
Chu Yi said, "Jiang Li keeps raising his hand to touch his forehead. It seems that the slash just now injured him?"
Meng Ruliu exclaimed with delight, "So, he's not really invulnerable to swords and spears?"
Chu Yi said, "I'm just guessing. I can't see clearly in the rain, but it looks like he's injured."
Meng Ruliu said, "If it's true, then the scimitar you gave His Majesty will be effective?"
Chu Yi said, "It should be fine. This scimitar was passed down from my great-grandfather to my grandfather, from my grandfather to my father, and from my father to me. It is said that the blade was originally blue, but after passing through the hands of several emperors, it gradually lost its blue color, but its sharpness remains the same."
Meng Ruliu asked, "Was it built by your ancestors?"
Chu Yi said, "It was given by the Holy Land."
As the two were talking, a general exclaimed, "Look! Why isn't His Majesty dodging anymore?"
Meng Ruliu and Chu Yi also noticed this anomaly at the same time.
After dodging several times, Wei Jingzhuo hid behind a rock about the size of a door and raised his sword at the rock.
Meng Ruliu exclaimed in surprise, "What is Your Majesty trying to do?"
Chu Yi glanced at it and said, "Jinzhi is about to make his move."
As they were talking, Jiang Li caught up with them. Instead of chasing around the rocks, he punched the rocks directly, just like before, shattering them into pieces.
However, this time Wei Jingzhuo did not escape. In the instant the stone shattered, his long sword suddenly pierced out from the rubble, with a thunderous sound, and went straight for Jiang Li's left eye.
Jiang Li was completely unprepared for Wei Jingzhuo's actions. Seeing the blinding sword light heading straight for his left eye, he was terrified.
Before he could retract his right fist from striking the rock, he hurriedly raised his left arm to cover his eyes.
The longsword struck his forearm with a clang.
Chu Yi, who had been quite calm, was so alarmed by this scene that he slapped his mount's head and said, "What a great opportunity. What a pity, what a pity."
Meng Ruliu understood as well, and sighed as she clenched her fist, "It was just a little bit short."
Wei Jingzhuo circled around the rocks, trying to provoke Jiang Li. After smashing several boulders in succession, Jiang Li had become accustomed to this kind of pursuit. She didn't expect Wei Jingzhuo to suddenly draw his sword, but fortunately, Jiang Li reacted quickly and blocked the sword.
Chu Yi said, "Jinzhi has already used several strategies, but unfortunately the opponent is a monster, otherwise he would have won long ago."
Meng Ruliu was so anxious that she couldn't sit still on her horse. She said, "Your Majesty, how can we win? Is there really no way to deal with this monster?"
If only my sworn sister were here. During the battle against the Fifth Prince Chu Kai's ghost army at Yanxun Pass, it was Su Wan who came up with the idea of using chili water to subdue the ghosts. But now that Su Wan isn't around, Wei Jingzhuo can only fight Jiang Li head-on.
After blocking Wei Jingzhuo's sword, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, wiped the rain off her face, and said, "Do you think I don't know how to protect my eyes?"
Wei Jingzhuo flicked his sword, sending a trail of raindrops flying, and said coldly, "Quick reaction."
He risked attacking as the rocks shattered, sending shards flying. One shard grazed his cheek, cutting it and causing blood to gush out. The rain washed away the blood, turning it into a thin stream that trickled down his handsome face.
“I’m tired of this chase,” Jiang Li said. “If you’re still a man, stop hiding.”
Wei Jingzhuo said, "That is exactly what I was thinking."
Jiang Li laughed loudly, "Everyone says that the emperor always keeps his word, so come on."
“That’s right. From now on, I will not turn back,” Wei Jingzhuo raised his longsword and pointed it at Jiang Li. “Let’s fight to the death.”
