Chapter 345: Li Ke
Li Yuanjie, already frustrated by the chain explosions on the city wall, saw Liu Zheng leading the breakthrough army, cutting down enemies along the way, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
“A high-star fierce general?!”
“Great Chieftain, I’ll go meet that human!”
As he spoke, a wolfman with a scar on his forehead stepped out from among the wolfman warriors.
Among all the wolfman warriors, he was the only one wearing bronze armor besides Li Yuanjie himself.
Hearing this, Li Yuanjie hesitated for a second, then nodded.
“Li Ke, be careful. That human is not ordinary.”
Ordinary human soldiers were naturally nothing to fear in front of his beastman army, but he was still very wary of high-star fierce generals.
Li Ke, as the wolfman was called by Li Yuanjie, clearly knew that not all humans were weak and easily defeated.
Coupled with his record of killing 20 or 30 Kobolds in a row, which had fully demonstrated his considerable strength, he did not show any carelessness.
“Don’t worry, Great Chieftain.”
As he spoke, Li Ke crossed his arms and drew the twin blades from his waist.
The wolfman’s swift speed was immediately unleashed.
With a howl, he quickly charged towards Liu Zheng!
Liu Zheng, who was currently fighting fiercely within the enemy formation, apparently did not notice Li Ke’s approach.
Seeing this, Zhao Pan, while wielding his bronze longsword and cooperating with the soldiers beside him to stab a Kobold to death, also shouted repeatedly to Liu Zheng.
“Behind you! Liu Zheng, watch your back!”
After a moment of recovery, Liu Zheng, whose hearing had gradually returned, undoubtedly heard Zhao Pan’s shouts.
Without a second of doubt, he swung his blade backward without even turning his head!
At that moment, a heavy clang echoed as three blades collided!
Looking at the wolfman before him, wielding twin blades and clad in bronze armor, clearly dressed as an enemy general, a fierce glint flashed in Liu Zheng’s eyes.
Using the momentum of his downward swing with the Spring and Autumn Greatblade, he suddenly exerted more force, putting his entire body’s weight into it, completely intending to overwhelm his opponent!
The wolfman’s natural talent lay in speed, not strength.
Compared to ordinary soldiers, the wolfman’s lack of strength was not noticeable, but once engaged in battle with a fierce general like Liu Zheng, this flaw was instantly exposed.
Knowing he couldn’t win a direct clash, Li Ke decisively took a step back to dissipate the force.
However, Liu Zheng would not let his opponent easily break his offensive.
With a flick of his arms, he used the tip of the Spring and Autumn Greatblade to execute a piercing thrust, relentlessly pressuring the retreating Li Ke.
This move by Liu Zheng immediately made Li Ke’s heart tense.
“This human is indeed difficult to deal with!”
As his thoughts raced, Li Ke quickly dodged left and right, then executed two backward leaps.
Relying on his swift speed and agility, he finally countered the opponent’s offensive.
With a twist of his twin blades, he unleashed a lightning-fast flurry of counterattacks!
The sound of clashing weapons instantly became a continuous roar.
This was not the first time Liu Zheng had faced an opponent with dual-wielded weapons.
After all, Luo Yong’s weapons used to be twin axes, and he particularly enjoyed sparring with Liu Zheng.
So, facing such an opponent, he undoubtedly had some experience.
However, this wolfman’s entire fighting style was somewhat different from Luo Yong’s.
The force of each blade swing was not strong, but it excelled in “speed.”
In just a blink of an eye, he had delivered a full 11 strikes!
Liu Zheng, realizing he couldn’t parry the last strike in time, quickly tilted his upper body backward.
In that instant, the blade tip grazed the bronze armor on his chest, leaving a shallow mark while producing a grating sound.
After a round of mutual attacks, both sides tacitly retreated a certain distance.
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes, a few drops of cold sweat already beading on his forehead.
If his reaction and movements had been a moment slower just now, that blade would have sliced across his throat.
Instantly, a distinct apprehension arose in Liu Zheng’s heart toward this monster whose blade strikes were as fast as lightning.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Ke, after having swung 11 consecutive times, was also utterly shocked.
He had never encountered an opponent who could parry almost all of his 11 consecutive strikes.
“Damn it! Li Ke’s Bravery level is 4-stars! Plus the silver-grade ‘Dual Blade Mastery’ and ‘Consecutive Strike’ skills I’ve equipped him with, relying on his attack speed, he should have a chance to kill even a 5-star fierce general.”
“What’s the background of this human who uses a Greatblade?!”
The impact of that scene on Li Yuanjie was undoubtedly far greater than on Li Ke.
It was no exaggeration to say that Li Yuanjie probably knew Li Ke’s true strength, as a fierce general he had personally cultivated, even better than Li Ke himself.
Therefore, the shock he felt internally was exceptionally profound.
With thoughts racing, Li Yuanjie no longer cared about anything else.
He simply waved his hand, signaling all the surrounding wolfman warriors to press forward and surround Liu Zheng!
This situation caused Li Ke, who had still wanted to continue fighting, to freeze in surprise.
He subconsciously looked back at Li Yuanjie, who was continuously gesturing to him, indicating that he should cooperate with his fellow tribesmen to surround and kill that human.
Wolves were pack animals, and when attacking a target, an entire wolf pack would often swarm it in a planned manner, tearing the target apart.
The wolfmen were essentially the same in this regard.
Logically, this approach should be a matter of course among the wolfmen.
However, upon receiving Li Yuanjie’s order, Li Ke’s emotions were inexplicably complex.
On the other side, Liu Zheng, facing the encirclement of numerous wolfman warriors, had no time for extra thoughts.
Unlike the poorly equipped Kobolds from before, these wolfman warriors were considered well-equipped.
Even compared to the regular army of their Myriad World Civilization, they were no less formidable.
Facing such a monstrous force, even Liu Zheng, who was in peak condition, felt immense pressure.
Just as he was pondering how to escape unscathed from the wolfman warriors’ encirclement, Zhou Yi, who had been observing the situation, quickly waved his bronze longsword, commanding his sword-shield unit to charge forward and support Liu Zheng.
In this chaotic battlefield, Zhou Yi’s wave of reinforcement was undoubtedly very timely.
His passive skill, “Composure,” made him calmer and sharper-minded in such situations.
In the blink of an eye, the human and wolfman sword-shield units engaged in their first clash!
