Chapter Six, the End of the Strong Bow

This rule was initially aimed at situations where kindred spirits appreciate each other, but over time it has evolved into a form of common etiquette, much like greeting and saying goodbye

When the Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng strode over, Li Tianzhao not only did not flee, but instead stood up directly

He never realized until his death that the sound of the airflow just now allowed Li Tianzhao to discern his bluffing secret merely by ear. The sound produced by the blade and the resulting changes in airflow were not the same as those of a normal attack

The power of the long knife suddenly weakened as Li Tianzhao raised his arm and collided with the side of the blade

As the life of the warrior fades, the power of the battle mark within the sword and the chaotic energy within the body will briefly manifest, and then disperse between heaven and earth

How could one emerge from such a terrifying battlefield?

The captain of the travelers at the Hall of Self-Cultivation, recalling the snowball from just now, the figure, the segment of the sword revealed in the snow... He finally understood.

Moreover, it is a weapon of a seasoned warrior, and it should naturally be better than what he crafted himself in the village

Li Tianzhao swiftly withdrew with his sword, evading the strike.

The long sword was plunged into the ground, and as its master's life faded away, both the sword and the person simultaneously emitted a dim white light

Li Tianzhao was not in a hurry because the woman in white was not running fast, and her physical strength was evidently very weak, unable to run far. Judging from the situation just now, that woman did not seem to be a formidable character.

The one who first acted was the Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng, and it could only be him

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng, thinking of these things, was suddenly shocked and terrified by the sword of the third-rate warrior before his eyes

Moreover, does he really need to retreat

The hundred battle general swiftly turned, dragging his sword, quickly changing tactics to pursue, the swinging blade raised a large expanse of ice and snow, still appearing imposing and fierce

There are many third-rate warriors, and the seasoned general has killed too many in countless battles

The captain of the Hall of Cultivation originally had little color in his face, but at this moment, a spasm occurred, and his fear was completely unable to be suppressed, appearing even more pale.

His blade is still very swift, although his strength is far from usual, it is sufficient to slay a third-rate warrior

With his extensive experience, he could instantly determine that his sword would only reach Li Tianzhao when the knife had pierced his body. At that moment, due to being struck first by the long knife, the power and speed of the sword would be significantly diminished, allowing the seasoned warrior to ensure he would suffer no harm simply by using his left arm to strike the sword's body

The woman, upon seeing Li Tianzhao approaching, hurriedly brandished her knife

He remembers his father saying that courage is the ability to overcome fear

Is there anyone beside you

His robust figure suddenly transformed into a shooting star, hurtling towards me. The long knife swung with a whooshing sound, and it was unclear whether it was the airflow generated by the charge or the force of the blade that sent a flurry of snow and ice swirling into the air

Although he was not a warrior in the army, he still held that long sword, which possessed no battle seal power, and said to the hundred battle generals of King Fengwu: "Kill the hundred battle generals belonging to King Fengwu, with this sword as proof"

Li Tianzhao stood there with his sword held before his chest, simply gazing at the hundred-battle general

Where is the lack of strength to wield the sword? It is evident that there is clearly some reserve strength to guard against Li Tianzhao

This is going to kill him

Li Tianzhao picked up the knife, noticing that there were no marks of battle on it. Although he had anticipated this, he still felt a twinge of disappointment

At this moment, the choice placed before Li Tianzhao is indeed difficult

Li Tianzhao held a long knife, attempted to swing it, and felt quite good. He noticed the emblem of King Wu of Feng on the blade, along with a hundred-character inscription below, and the character for "wasteland".

The long knife was deflected, slipped from the hand, and plunged into the icy ground

Before killing him, when circumstances permit, the warrior will give the enemy the opportunity to speak their last words facing the sword, for after being killed, the power of the battle mark within the sword will be absorbed, perhaps only a little, or perhaps a great deal.

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu stared wide-eyed, unable to speak. He was indeed extremely weak, and the power of the battle seal could not be unleashed at all

"You are nothing but a coward. Since you dare not come forward, then prepare to face the consequences!" The general of the Wind Martial King, known for his hundred battles, said as he stepped forward, only to see Li Tianzhao retreating.

The parts that cannot be absorbed will disperse between heaven and earth

This strike should not be met with force.

The captain from the Xiushen Hall, who suffered a serious injury to his waist, wore a face full of regret, blaming himself for losing his caution. If it had not been for the aggressive attack, the outcome might not have been as it is now.

Such a fierce offensive, combined with the momentary lethal power displayed by the battle seal that instantly killed several individuals in the Cultivation Hall, made Li Tianzhao truly hesitant to confront it head-on, nor should he engage in a direct clash.

The offspring of a desperate couple, how can there be any reason to flee in such a panic!

This is the place of the Xuantian Martial King, and now there are even more of the Xuantian Martial King's people on Mount Cang. Li Tianzhao and others are waiting for their own people, which is a bit less of a contribution; while the Hundred Battles of the Wind Martial King will continue to wait, which is death

The sword struck ahead of what he had anticipated from his experience, and before he could evade, it pierced into his neck

Why would that battle-hardened general go to such lengths to protect you

He held a long knife and glanced at the leader of that group of people in the Xiu Shen Hall

The power of the battle mark on the blade has faded, but the mark itself is a testament to his achievements in battle

King Wu of Feng waited for a moment, and upon receiving no response, he withdrew his gaze. With a cold and proud expression, he pointed his sword at the captain of the Xiushen Hall and said: "Speak to the sword."

If a significant amount is absorbed, theoretically, one could resurrect the defeated generals under the sword of King Wu with his power

Li Tianzhao was not angry; he simply stared at him and said: "Indeed, why say so much to a nameless nobody like me? Is it because you are out of strength and can only rely on verbal intimidation?"

Li Tianzhao's sword flashed instantly in its sheath, gripped firmly in his hand. His expression suddenly turned serious, and he fixed his gaze on the General of Hundred Battles without blinking, saying: "Indeed, I may have guessed wrong, or perhaps I guessed right. I had heard before that one brave man can surpass three strong men, but I could not comprehend it at that time. Now I understand that if one does not have the courage to bear the risks of decision-making at this moment, no matter how much strength I possess, it is of no use."

Unnamed pawn! Who do you think you are! The hundred-battle general of King Wu of Feng laughed mockingly.

The captain from the Hall of Self-Cultivation opened his mouth, but fear rendered him speechless. After forcing himself to calm down for a moment, he gathered his courage, his mind heated, his eyes turning red, and shouted: "Warriors of the Xuantian Martial King, unwavering until death!"

"Just now, if you had turned back, you would have lived a little longer!" The Hundred Battles General of Wind King Wu observed Li Tianzhao calmly holding his sword, yet he showed no intention of launching an attack, clearly engaging in a war of attrition.

Li Tianzhao struck with a knife, hitting her hand, causing the woman to drop the knife in pain, her face contorted in agony, unable to lift her hand.

I actually obtained a battle seal of the荒级百战将! Li Tianzhao recalled how his parents had worked tirelessly to send him to the修身殿 in the city, striving for the achievement of breaking through from天级十人将 to荒级百战将, but in the end, they both perished.

Li Tianzhao witnessed the scene when his mother died, but at that time, his mother's sword had already been lost on the battlefield

This woman is not a formidable character; she is not even a trained soldier

Absolutely not

Indeed, when the Hundred Battles General of King Fengwu takes a step forward, Li Tianzhao retreats a step; when the Hundred Battles General of King Fengwu ceases to advance, Li Tianzhao will no longer retreat

Others may not be able to discern it, but Li Tianzhao, having practiced swordsmanship in darkness for many years, is extremely sensitive to the changes in airflow

Li Tianzhao had never actually considered avoiding it; even though he felt a sense of fear towards the strength of the Hundred Battles General, he had not thought about evading it

Is he going out

He is not currently considering killing Li Tianzhao, but rather whether to eat something and take a break before leaving, or to find a safer place to rest before departing

In the eyes of the Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng, Li Tianzhao's movements were excessively unorthodox, and his agility added many unnecessary elements, clearly reflecting the standard of a third-rate warrior

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng was unaware of these matters, which led to his downfall, staining the ice and snow with a deep crimson that melted away

Should we still avoid this terrifying enemy and call for more assistance?

The village chief mentioned that his parents had been unfortunate, suffering many injuries in the past. The treatment for their serious wounds consumed a significant amount of their merits. Although they had killed many enemies, the gains and losses balanced each other out, leaving little remaining.

Due to the sound of the airflow, Li Tianzhao discerned the underlying mystery and concluded that there was no need to evade any longer

However, Li Tianzhao suddenly swung his sword to attack

The Wind King of Wu, with his long sword hanging down, stepped past the captain of the soldiers beside the Hall of Cultivation, striding towards the direction where Li Tianzhao was hiding

However, no one came out, nor did anyone respond

As he fell, a single thought crossed his mind: 'What a treacherous fellow, possessing extraordinary swordsmanship yet deliberately pretending to be a third-rate warrior! I actually died at the hands of someone who lacks even the strength of a battle mark...'

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu, accustomed to hearing various words spoken before death directed at the sword, shifted his gaze from the face of the captain in the Hall of Cultivation to the general direction where Li Tianzhao was presumed to be hiding, and mocked: "Rodents are just rodents; they possess neither the courage of a warrior who faces death with equanimity nor the decisiveness to act swiftly! If you dare not come out, then I shall come to you! Those who are unafraid of death will instead allow him to live a little longer, while those cowardly rodents will die even faster!"

Li Tianzhao believes that the system of deducting a significant amount of merit for serious injury treatment is very unreasonable, but this is the rule

The person who was just injured in the waist is now bowing their head and half-kneeling in the snow, motionless, appearing as if they are dead

Are you still alive?" Li Tianzhao called out, but there was no response, nor did he see any rise and fall in that person's chest, so he went after the fleeing woman

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng wore a look of surprise, but it was only for a brief moment before it transformed into a disdainful sneer. "The rat finally shows its face! You certainly have a set of cunning schemes; it was you who initially screamed for no reason, and it was also you who pretended to call for your companions just now. I have killed many of Xuantian King’s men, but someone as treacherous as you is truly rare. Draw your sword, rat, and let’s see how many moves you can withstand under my blade!" I have killed many of Xuantian King’s men, but someone as treacherous as you is truly rare. Draw your sword, rat, and let’s see how many moves you can withstand under my blade!

Indeed, he followed down the slope for a while and saw that the woman in white had evidently fallen, struggling to get up from the snow. Perhaps due to fear and physical weakness, she exerted herself twice before finally managing to rise. Upon turning her head and seeing Li Tianzhao chasing after her, the woman was frightened and hurriedly ran away, only to fall again, rolling several times and becoming trapped in the snow, unable to get up.

The hundred battle general's eyes were filled with mockery, as if he would no longer give Li Tianzhao a chance to escape

You today are doomed by your own arrogance! Groundless conjectures made out of thin air, do you even consider what you are!" The Hundred Battles General of King Wu of Feng raised his long sword, assuming a stance as if he were about to unleash a devastating attack at any moment

The Hundred Battles General of King Wu unleashed a powerful strike, directly slaying the five individuals in the Xiushen Hall, leaving only the captain, who was severely injured and unable to stand.

In the ranks of the warriors of the Xuantian Martial King, if you are timid, you are likely unmatched! The Hundred Battles General of the Feng Martial King looked on with disdain, his tone filled with contempt, making those who witnessed it wish they could draw their swords and charge forward.

This kind of attention-seeking, exaggerated and ostentatious novice is simply a waste of my time! The seasoned warrior dismisses him with disdain, focusing solely on striking at Li Tianzhao's heart with his long knife

After the hazy white light on the sword and the corpse faded simultaneously, Li Tian glanced at the fleeing woman in white but did not rush to pursue her. Instead, he sheathed his sword and picked up the long knife of the enemy's seasoned general.

Whenever he thought of it, Li Tianzhao felt a surge of discontent in his chest. 'When I step into the Hall of King Wu in the future, I will definitely suggest that King Xuantian revise this rule!' Li Tianzhao silently resolved.

His goal is to enter the Hall of King Wu and resurrect his parents. In the face of such a rare opportunity that is unattainable, can he afford the risk of missing out?

Li Tianzhao did not rush over, but stared at him suspiciously. "It seems that you are indeed quite terrifying, but if you still have strength now, why did you allow them to besiege you for so long just now? Is it that you only have the strength for one strike? Or were you waiting for me to join the attack? Are you really not going to kill him, or are you just pretending to be fierce to intimidate me? In fact, perhaps you don't have any strength left at all?"
