"King Li, King Zhang, King Guo..."
Li Wenzheng managed to utter these words with difficulty, his hands and feet ice-cold.
This time, Tianwang Village dispatched three Heavenly Kings and over a hundred bandits.
Apart from the leader, Liu Tianwang, almost all the fighting force of Tianwang Village is here.
Why would such a large force be needed to deal with a small caravan of less than ten people?
Hahaha~
Looking at the caravan of less than ten people, Li Tianwang burst into laughter.
"This money seems quite easy to earn."
They surrounded the caravan from three sides and quickly encircled it.
Li Tianwang's voice, as resonant as the clash of metal, rang out once more.
"Boys, I'm asking you, are you from the Sihai Escort Agency, which departed from Erhe County?"
"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"
Lin Ce, carrying a single-edged sword, responded in a deep voice.
"If so, then we've found the right person and will naturally slaughter you all. If not, then we can spend some more time finding the real culprit after we've slaughtered you all."
Li Tianwang laughed heartily, his words clearly showing that he didn't take the escort team seriously at all.
"You keep talking about 'cleaning up' and 'wiping out'? You think you can do that?"
Li Qingshan stepped forward.
His confidence was clearly soaring after defeating Li Yuan Sanyi in a one-on-three battle.
"Interesting. Few people dare to talk to me like this anymore. I guess you're just a newborn calf."
A chilling killing intent flashed in Li Tianwang's eyes as he shouted at Li Wenzheng:
"Nephew, why aren't you coming over here? Do you want to be chopped into mincemeat along with them?"
Li Wenzheng simply shook his head repeatedly.
"The ancestors of Li Yuan were once chivalrous and righteous, and were highly respected. Now, my uncle is going to do such a thing. Where does this leave the glory of Li Yuan?"
"Respected by others?"
Li Tianwang sneered, "What's the use of being respected? Now all that's left is a dilapidated garden. I'll give you one last chance. If you don't want to die, get over here."
"Uncle, please forgive me for not being able to go along with your evil deeds."
Li Wenzheng glanced at the other two members of the Three Righteous Men and made a difficult decision.
"I beg you, Uncle, to show leniency and let my sworn brother and sister leave. They have nothing to do with this matter."
"Old Li, stop talking too much nonsense. Who cares who they are? Just chop them all up and be done with it. The boss is waiting for us to go back and have a victory celebration."
Such a sound came from behind the caravan, and a slender figure suddenly rushed forward.
"King of Kingdom!"
Li Wenzheng was shocked. "Be careful! He's most skilled in light-body techniques, known for his unpredictable and swift movements..."
This statement is no longer of much use.
Before he could finish speaking, that slender figure had already rushed in front of him.
Perhaps annoyed by his excessive talking, the king of the country launched an attack on him first.
As the Heavenly King made his move, all the thieves from the three directions shouted in unison and charged forward.
Only Li Tianwang and Zhang Tianwang remained on the perimeter.
"Old Guo is still the same as ever, always so impatient."
Li Tianwang and Zhang Tianwang got together and started complaining about each other.
At this moment, the King of Heaven had already engaged in combat with his opponent.
As he launched his attack on Li Wenzheng, Li Qingshan, eager to prove himself, was the first to intercept the attack.
"You guys help deal with the henchmen."
Lin Ce casually tossed the confiscated swords back to them and then turned to walk away.
His target was the two superstars on the outer circle.
This time, it's a great thing that the Heavenly King Liu, who is said to have the strength of an eighth-rank cultivator, did not come.
Although the remaining bandits are numerous, the battle may not necessarily be one-sided.
The month-long training before the mission greatly increased the strength of the young men who were escorts. Although they had not yet reached the level of a ninth-rank martial artist, they were naturally much stronger than ordinary bandits.
Not to mention, they also had the help of three genuine ninth-rank martial artists, Li Yuan San Yi.
Of course, he didn't completely trust the three men from Liyuan. If they had any ulterior motives, he, who had been keeping a close eye on them, would definitely deal with them immediately.
Therefore, whether today's crisis can be resolved depends not on the more than one hundred thieves, but on the three thief leaders who call themselves "Heavenly Kings".
Li Qingshan's strength has increased, and dealing with a national king shouldn't be a big problem.
The key is whether I can take down the remaining two Heavenly Kings.
Having the "Mountain-Breaking Fist" of the fourth level gives Lin Ce the confidence to take the initiative.
"Bang~ Bang~"
Lin Ce strode forward and charged straight toward the two Heavenly Kings, ruthlessly shoving aside any thieves who stood in his way.
One of the thieves swung his knife at him, but under the defense of the "Azure Rock Robe," it couldn't cause him any damage at all.
He gripped the single-edged sword tightly in his hand and in an instant rushed to within a short distance of the two Heavenly Kings.
"let me."
Realizing that his opponent also seemed to practice external martial arts, Li Tianwang was overjoyed and spurred his horse forward, smashing a massive iron cudgel down fiercely on Lin Ce's head.
The tower-like body brought terrifying strength, and the giant iron club swung through the air with a "whoosh" sound.
Lin Ce's weakness lies in his lack of agility; at this moment, he is charging too fast, and it is obviously unrealistic for him to dodge.
In fact, he never intended to avoid it.
He gripped the single-edged sword tightly with both hands and slashed powerfully at the giant iron club.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the single-edged sword collided head-on with the massive iron club.
Lin Ce only felt his arm lighten as the single-edged sword broke in two, the shattered metal fragments flying out and hitting the two combatants.
Amidst the muffled thud, he noticed that the shattered metal that struck Li Tianwang had failed to cause him any harm.
The opponent clearly possessed some kind of protective martial art, which couldn't be harmed by this attack.
Li Tianwang's giant iron cudgel now had a shallow cut, but it wasn't a big problem.
Clearly, in that clash just now, Lin Ce's strength was not inferior; he only lost because of his weapon.
"Kid, your weapon is a bit lacking."
Li Tianwang looked at Lin Ce and nodded in approval.
"No wonder the guest was willing to spend three thousand taels to deal with you. You're quite capable, kid."
He didn't care about the news leaking out. He destroyed Lin Ce's weapon at this moment, and he didn't care about fairness either. As he spoke, he swung the giant iron club and knocked it down again.
The front end of this iron rod is as thick as a thigh. If it were to strike the ground with a single blow, even a millstone would be reduced to dust.
With only half a single-edged sword left, it would be unwise to use it against the iron rod.
Lin Ce casually tossed the single-edged sword towards his opponent's face. At the same time, the tendons in his body vibrated like a bowstring, and his whole body bounced out like a bullet.
After discarding the single-handed sword and reverting to a one-handed stance, he was able to better unleash the fourth level of "Mountain-Breaking Fist".
The face is a vital point on the body. Even if one has mastered the art of protecting the body, Li Tianwang still dares not completely ignore the half-sword thrown at him with great force.
He quickly raised an arm to protect his face, and the force of his swinging the giant iron club was obviously greatly reduced.
At that very moment, Lin Ce lunged forward, reaching out to grab the massive iron club that was being swung down.
"court death……"
Li Tianwang sneered inwardly.
The massive iron rod was incredibly heavy, and when it struck with such force, it was the nemesis of any protective hard-body technique.
Even he, who prides himself on his hard skills, admitted that he couldn't withstand such an attack.
The boy feared that his bones would soon break and his flesh would turn to mush.
With this thought in mind, Li Tianwang suddenly felt the momentum of the giant iron cudgel slow down, and then a voice entered his ears.
"The iron bar is good; it's mine now."
