134: One holy war, two kings!

Just as Li Mu was about to leave the city wall, Lord Li, smiling, pulled him back.

“Father, you are a great general. Why would you need to deal with these small fries? Let your son teach them a lesson and see just how strong they are!”

Li Mu and Lord Li exchanged glances, and Li Mu seemed to understand his thoughts, finally nodding.

“Alright, be careful. Both of those fellows are not easy to deal with!”

“Don’t worry!” Lord Li smiled and nodded in agreement.

Hearing that Lord Li was going to make a move again, everyone was incredibly excited, their eyes fixed on Lord Li, gleaming with anticipation.

At this moment, Chen Qingxuan also came to Lord Li’s side and said excitedly,

“Lord Li, let me help you deal with one of them. I’ve long detested these barbarian beasts!”

Thinking of fighting alongside Lord Li, Chen Qingxuan’s heart was filled with excitement.

But Lord Li smiled and shook his head, waving his hand as he chuckled,

“No need to trouble Sect Leader Chen. Today, I alone will face these two beasts!”

With that, Lord Li, holding his blade, stepped into the void and appeared before the Third-Rank Barbarian King and the Ice Dragon King.

Soon, everyone would realize that changes were occurring throughout Great Gan, and there would be no strong reinforcements for Shanhai Pass, which would inevitably cause unrest in the army’s morale.

What Lord Li needed to do was not just win this battle, but win it spectacularly!

He wanted everyone to know that even without further reinforcements, Shanhai Pass could hold its ground without relying on other strong individuals!

So, Lord Li had a goal in mind: kill them all. That would be a truly glorious victory!

If he could capture one alive, that would be even better!

At that time, the army’s morale would surely be greatly boosted.

Li Mu and Old Fan, who were aware of Great Gan’s current situation, also understood Lord Li’s intentions. Gazing at his back, Li Mu and Wenren Qingxuan, the couple, couldn’t help but feel a little dazed.

The young man who was still so naive a few years ago could now stand on his own.

Everyone on the city wall looked at Lord Li’s back, all incredibly excited, secretly cheering him on in their hearts, a phrase involuntarily surfacing in their minds:

One man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through!

The current Lord Li possessed such power!

When the Ice Dragon King and the Barbarian King saw that a young man had stepped out, they felt no contempt whatsoever; instead, they became extremely solemn.

Having cooperated with the Demonic Cult, they naturally knew of Lord Li’s terrifying combat strength.

He could cleave a Third-Rank strong individual to death with his blade while being Fourth-Rank. Now that his dual systems had broken through to Third-Rank, how much stronger could he be?

However, their appearance was meant to break the morale of the Great Gan Shanhai Pass defenders, so they naturally couldn’t show any fear!

The Ice Dragon King looked at Lord Li, who wore a faint smile, and a hint of disdain appeared on its massive dragon head, as it snorted contemptuously,

“Great Gan truly has no one left; to send a mere youth to confront us is simply laughable!”

The Barbarian King beside him also grinned widely, sneering,

“They say Great Gan is a Celestial Dynasty, but now it seems it’s nothing more than that. A mere youth as a vanguard, it only makes people laugh!”

Lord Li was not angered; instead, he continued to wipe his blade with a smile, replying,

“If the two of you were to be killed and beheaded here today by a Great Gan youth, wouldn’t that make the Demon Barbarian races seem even more incompetent?”

“Why don’t I give you a chance to call for help? If two aren’t enough, don’t let people say I’m bullying you by fighting with fewer numbers. Call two more to help you; anyone can come, my blade isn’t picky!”

“Ignorant youth, utterly arrogant!”

The bearded Barbarian King roared, swinging the nine-ringed greatsword, which was even taller than Lord Li, and cleaved down towards Lord Li!

“Take my blade, and die!”

The Ice Dragon King stared at Lord Li and the bearded Barbarian King with its enormous eyes, secretly pondering something.

Though it spoke disdainfully of Lord Li, it was actually extremely wary in its heart. It was good to let this brainless barbarian test him first!

As the Barbarian King swung his greatsword down, the fierce winds howled, and the playful look in Lord Li’s eyes gradually turned serious.

He stared directly at the nine-ringed precious blade, showing no intention of dodging. His right fist clenched, a golden light gradually appeared, and streaks of lightning shimmered on his fist.

For this first clash, Lord Li did not want to dodge; instead, he intended to receive this mountain-splitting, sea-overturning strike head-on with his Third-Rank Undying Golden Body!

Everyone also saw Lord Li’s intention. The Ice Dragon King, who wanted to see what he was capable of, showed a hint of excitement and ferocity in its eyes upon seeing this.

Even it, whose physical body was stronger than a human’s, dared not take this barbarian’s strike head-on; otherwise, it would likely be cut in half!

This ignorant youth was indeed too young. When faced with danger, one should avoid it; recklessly seeking a fight would only lead to not knowing how one died!

Behind him on the city wall, Li Mu’s expression was calm when he saw this scene, but his heart had already clenched, merely maintaining a composed and serious appearance in front of everyone.

He had fought this Barbarian King many times and knew the power of his nine-ringed precious blade. He had never seen anyone dare to take it head-on.

The Barbarian King’s sword-swinging speed was not fast, but his strength was immense, and his swings were wide and powerful, making it difficult for ordinary strong individuals to even get close!

The strong individuals from the various sects, unaware of the truth, were filled with excitement, loudly cheering for Lord Li.

No sooner said than done, the Barbarian King’s nine-ringed precious blade cleaved down towards Lord Li’s head, the fierce winds making his golden armor flap noisily.

The Barbarian King had already revealed a cruel smile, as if he had foreseen Lord Li’s miserable state of being cut in half by his blade!

At this moment, Lord Li also clenched his fists, suddenly swinging them out, striking the Barbarian King’s blade with a full-force punch!

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed from the point of impact in all directions!

Everyone watched the point of contact between the two without blinking.

Although Lord Li was standing in the void, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground beneath him!

The blade energy, avoiding Lord Li, struck the ground.

This scene made everyone gasp.

Seeing that Lord Li was not injured by the Barbarian King’s strike, Li Mu finally let out a long breath, a faint smile appearing on his face.

The people on the city wall cheered, while the Barbarian King and the Ice Dragon King’s eyes were filled with disbelief!

The Barbarian King, even more so, widened his bell-like eyes, exclaiming in disbelief,

“This strike of mine can even cut through the physical body of a Third-Rank martial artist, yet you can take it head-on with just your fist? How is this possible?!”

“Is that all that’s impossible?” Lord Li muttered to himself.

Then, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

“My punch is more than just that!”

“Since you’re out of strength, it’s my turn to punch!”

As soon as his voice fell, raging flames suddenly burst forth from Lord Li’s fist.

His fist clenched again, and he suddenly exerted upward force. No matter how the Barbarian King tried to cleave downwards, his blade uncontrollably retreated, and his body also uncontrollably staggered backward repeatedly.

“You try my punch too!”

Lord Li’s figure flashed past, a streak of lightning appearing beneath his feet. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the retreating Barbarian King, raised his fist, and fiercely smashed it into his chest!

The Barbarian King’s chest visibly caved in, and he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, crashing to the ground.

Seeing this, Lord Li’s mouth curved into a disdainful arc, and he sneered,

“This is one of the Five Kings of the Barbarian Race? Nothing more than this!”
