Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1006: The Sparrow Stalks the Mantis
Chapter 1006: Chapter 1006: The Sparrow Stalks the Mantis
To others, Li Wenli appeared as a master swordsman possessing overpowering Sword Qi.
He didn’t just kill within ten steps; it seemed as though he could slaughter effortlessly with every step.
Yuwen Qi’s black-clad troops, all martial enthusiasts, were instantly awestruck the first time they witnessed Li Wenli in action, nearly throwing themselves to the ground and grabbing his legs to beg him to take them as disciples.
As the group charged forward smoothly, suddenly, a purple figure sliced through the night sky, and a gleaming blade swung forth under the moonlit night, emanating bursts of radiant white light.
Originally, Li Wenli had been cutting through officials and soldiers unhindered, his Sword Qi cleaving them apart. However, he hadn’t expected an unexpected obstacle to arise midway—in the form of someone wielding a white longsword. Of course, the sword itself wasn’t what mattered. What caught his attention was the fact that the person holding the sword wore five rings that looked strikingly familiar to Li Wenli.
They were made of the same material as the meteorite contained in the Ancient Treasure Box.
In the instant Li Wenli’s Wind Blade collided with Yuwen Jun, it vanished without a trace.
No one could have imagined that Yuwen Jun, who had gone to war, would return.
Yuwen Jun stared directly at the man ahead of him, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.
"So it’s you... How ironic. Searching high and low, only to find you without any effort at all."
Li Wenli leisurely cocked his head to the side. "You were looking for me?"
A flicker of murderous intent passed through Yuwen Jun’s eyes: "Indeed. I was preparing to tear you into pieces."
Li Wenli responded with a mocking smile and nodded. "Alright then, let’s see who dies."
At that moment, behind Yuwen Jun suddenly appeared an army of thirty thousand armored soldiers, all armed with bows and arrows, densely packed and exuding an oppressive aura. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
On Li Wenli’s side, including his black-clad allies, there were merely thirty or so people.
The disparity between numbers was immediately apparent.
Li Wenli’s forces were not only outnumbered but included individuals of significant importance, such as Yuwen Luanfei, Yuwen Qi, and Wenren Pingting.
These were all pivotal figures of Baiju Country, and the death of any one of them could potentially impact the future direction of events.
At this moment, Li Wenli silently raised his hand to hold back his allies, casting a calm gaze toward Yuwen Jun. "How about we make a bet?"
"What bet?"
"A duel between you and me. If I lose, you can deal with my people as you wish. But if you lose, you let us go."
"What makes you think you’re qualified to wager with me?" Yuwen Jun sneered, though his venomous snake-like eyes never left Li Wenli since spotting him, ignoring entirely the people standing behind him.
To him, they were already as good as dead.
Initially, Yuwen Jun had only intended to feign a western expedition to lure out the remaining forces of Yuwen Qing and exterminate them. Little did he expect those remaining forces to include Li Wenli.
Recalling the trouble Li Wenli had caused him, compounded by the enmity at Witch Ancestor Mountain, Yuwen Jun couldn’t suppress his laughter. It seemed even the heavens were aiding him.
Now that fate had brought his enemy before him, how could he let this chance pass?
Li Wenli’s delusional notion of relying on a duel to bargain for survival—how could Yuwen Jun ever agree?
With thirty thousand troops against merely thirty, what leverage did Li Wenli have to gamble with him?
Li Wenli sighed helplessly. "If you won’t agree, I’ll just have to slaughter all of you."
Though cruel, what else could he do when their leader refused to listen to reason?
Yuwen Jun hadn’t expected Li Wenli to maintain such audacity in the face of death. "Then go ahead and try."
Turning to the soldiers behind him, he gave his order: "All troops, listen up! Tonight, leave no survivors! Kill them all!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The thirty thousand elite soldiers roared furiously, their shouts echoing across the entirety of Biluo City.
