Chapter 64: Slaying Lei Lie by Force
A thought flashed through Xiao Wen’s mind, and his aura reached its peak in an instant. Even the dragon-python phantom coiling around his body raised its head and hissed, letting out a sound that was neither snake nor dragon.
Roar-hiss...
As his momentum soared, Xiao Wen’s aura actually rose to the point where it matched Lei Lie in his explosive state.
The Profound Spirit Battle Halberd in his hands swung wildly: chopping, hacking, lifting, thrusting, sweeping...
Move after move fell in rapid succession, slashing toward Lei Lie.
Lei Lie did not retreat. Holding his great saber, he met the attack head-on.
The battle between the two of them entered its white-hot stage the moment it began.
As they exchanged blows, red HP numbers continuously floated above both their heads. Xiao Wen unleashed every skill he had, attacking Lei Lie without pause, and under this storm-like assault, he finally managed to suppress him.
Even Army-Breaking Strike, the skill that sacrificed equipment, was used several times in succession by Xiao Wen, continuously dealing damage to Lei Lie.
Under repeated injuries, Lei Lie was blasted backward again and again. In the end, a massive amount of his HP was depleted, and his condition fell to rock bottom.
The Profound Spirit Battle Halberd in Xiao Wen’s hands pierced through his body and killed him.
Fatal strike. HP -1999.
The corpse silently collapsed to the ground. Xiao Wen held the Profound Spirit Battle Halberd and gasped heavily, his entire expression becoming exceptionally cold.
He reached out and grabbed the three clusters of golden light left behind after Lei Lie’s death, then turned his gaze toward the Flying Tiger.
At this moment, the Flying Tiger was roaring endlessly under the encirclement and assault of the White Dragon Cavalry. Wave after wave of howls erupted from its mouth, carrying visible soundwaves that spread in every direction.
Xiao Wen watched it, and a trace of sharpness faintly flashed between his brows.
He then looked toward the golden loot in his inventory and found a tiger token among it.
[Tiger Token]
Type: Spatial Equipment
Function: Stores a ferocious tiger mount. The mount is already bound.
Owner: Flying Tiger
Holder: Unbound
Overview: A token used to store a battle pet. It is quite a decent treasure.
Ding! Detected that player Half-Journey Through the Mortal World possesses a Tiger Token. Bind it?
Bind!
Xiao Wen directly activated the Tiger Token binding. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Tiger Token and waved it toward the Flying Tiger. The Flying Tiger, which had just been rampaging through the army, was immediately stored inside the Tiger Token by Xiao Wen.
[Flying Tiger]
Type: Mount
Grade: Gold
Personality: Fierce, respects the strong
Favorability: 0/100 [Indifferent]
Skills: Tiger Roars Through the Mountains and Forests, White Tiger Aura
Overview: King of all beasts. Like a tiger given wings. Ride a kingly beast and receive the blessing of royal might. When charging through the battlefield, it is unstoppable.
Note: If you wish to subdue the king of all beasts, you must show the confidence and strength to make it submit!
The information appeared before Xiao Wen. Xiao Wen grinned lightly, clearly feeling that the Tiger Token in his hand was truly quite good.
He had somehow obtained a mount out of nowhere. In the future, he would no longer need to worry about his mount being too weak.
Although it could not compare to Ma Chao’s Claw Yellow Flying Lightning, it was still extremely good and very suitable for him at present.
When he recruited a third-rank...
No, when he recruited a fourth- or fifth-rank general, he would give this mount away.
For now, this lord would keep it himself.
As Xiao Wen thought this, he stretched lazily, but his feet suddenly staggered. The surging power that had filled his body now receded like the tide, and a powerless sense of emptiness emerged, making Xiao Wen almost unable to control his body. He nearly fell to the ground.
However, just as Xiao Wen staggered, a White Dragon Guard beside him reached out and supported him.
Xiao Wen waved his hand, ordering the remaining several hundred White Dragon Guards to mount their horses and convert into White Dragon Cavalry.
“Go help General Ma Chao.”
Xiao Wen looked back. Amid waves of neighing, the remaining several hundred White Dragon Cavalry galloped forward, charging directly toward Ma Chao’s battlefield.
On the other battlefield, Ma Chao fought one against two, facing Lei Qizhi and You Rong. As the Profound Heaven Sky-Piercing Spear in his hands thrust forward again and again, it brought with it sharp bursts of wind, suppressing the two of them.
However, although he was suppressing them, it was only enough to maintain a balance. Achieving a decisive result was not so simple.
“Lei Lie is dead! Surrender your heads at once!”
“Lei Lie is dead! Surrender your heads at once!”
“Lei Lie is dead! Surrender your heads at once!”
...
Suddenly, one shout after another rang out. More than four hundred White Dragon Cavalry were galloping over, charging in a wedge formation.
The White Dragon Cavalryman at the very front held a long spear, lowered it forward, and upon the spear tip was a savage head whose eyes had not closed in death.
It was clearly Lei Lie’s head!
The voices rang out, immediately drawing the attention of the mountain bandits. Amid the firelight, that savage face could faintly be seen, and the moment many people caught sight of it, they were frightened stupid.
“Dead! He’s really dead! The chief is dead!”
“Run... run! Even the chief is dead! Everyone, run!”
...
No one knew who shouted from within the crowd, but the mountain bandits, who had already failed to break through after a long attack, no longer dared to remain. Their eyes filled with terror, and they immediately turned and fled, wanting to escape this dangerous place.
How could mountain bandits without fighting spirit possibly be a match for Xiao Wen’s army?
His troops immediately pressed the advantage and pursued them, cutting them down from the rear.
Lei Qizhi and You Rong, who were still fighting, also suddenly revealed looks of great shock.
Lei Lie was dead?
The chief was dead?
How... how was that possible?
Hadn’t the strongest defending general in this small county city been restrained by the two of them?
How could there still be someone capable of matching the chief?
It had to be a lie, right?
Just as these thoughts flashed through their minds, in the next second, they saw the White Dragon Cavalry rushing over and saw the head impaled upon the long spear.
The two of them felt as if a thunderclap had exploded in their minds. Fear rose instantly from the depths of their hearts, lingering there without dispersing.
Escape!
They had to escape quickly!
Even Lei Lie was dead. Could the two of them still survive?
Leave!
As long as the green hills remained, there would be no fear of lacking firewood!
A thousand thoughts flashed through their minds. The two of them had already decided to retreat, but because of Ma Chao’s storm-like attacks, they did not dare recklessly expose their backs to the enemy.
Otherwise, they might fail to escape and instead be skewered to death by a spear.
“Ah... I hate this so much!”
Right at that moment, another scream came from the battlefield. Ge Yan had been surrounded by the gathered military formation, and Lu Cheng, who led the charge, slashed his throat with a sword. He lay on the ground, clearly no longer breathing.
Retreat!
The hearts of the two men turned ice-cold. They no longer dared to stay. After one collision, they immediately retreated, exposing their vital points to Ma Chao at the same time.
Seeing this, Ma Chao revealed a ferocious smile. His fighting spirit reached its absolute peak, and he directly triggered the Combination Attack Skill from his side alone.
Chaos Across the Eight Directions!
The skill surged forth, carrying a wild barrage of spear light as it attacked the two of them.
At the same time, the White Dragon Cavalry rushing over from afar condensed their formation, transforming into a divine dragon that charged recklessly toward the two of them.
Under attacks from both front and rear, dazzling light shone forth, illuminating this patch of darkness until it was bright as day.
Immediately afterward, two corpses could be seen silently falling to the ground.
Lei Qizhi, dead!
You Rong, dead!
This trial had finally been passed!
