I’ve heard that he’s slaughtered the disciples of the Heavy Sword Sect in the main city; we must not underestimate him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as he hasn’t become a martial artist, no matter how strong he is, falling into my hands is like a grasshopper after autumn—it won’t jump for long.\" The man called ’Chief Luan’ said disdainfully, \"If it weren’t for giving my brothers a chance to earn merits, I could take him down myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were talking, Lou Yi charged into the archers like a tiger into a flock of sheep, his axe seeming to have auto-targeting as he swiftly killed two more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had his head chopped off, the other was cleaved from top to bottom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s axe skill at a masterful level, combined with strength far surpassing that of an ordinary person, made these archers seem as easy to cut down as melons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the team on the verge of collapse, an archer said, \"Please, Chief Luan, take action and capture this man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Luan stood with his hands behind him, saying blandly, \"Why should I handle it myself? Send in the armored soldiers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Clang, clang, clang!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over ten archers donned in iron armor arrived at the boat’s entrance, forming a tight encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other soldiers in normal attire stepped back to avoid becoming cannon fodder for Lou Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing so many armored soldiers, Lou Yi’s pupils narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wearing iron armor, their strength increased substantially—this wouldn’t be easy to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did he have a choice now? He could only fight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Swish, swish!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi used the Eight-character Formation to swiftly swing the slingshot twice, bringing down two armored soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each had a visible indentation on their chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expressions of the soldiers were twisted in agony, lying on the ground and vomiting blood profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though protected by iron armor, Lou Yi’s strength, which could exceed a thousand pounds, made the kinetic energy of the stones he threw too much, even with armor protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the officers closed in, the slingshot became ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi pulled out the axe hidden in his chest, directly facing the remaining armored soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold iron armor made the soldiers fearless of death. Countless shining blades coiled toward Lou Yi all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who he hit, he would receive attacks from the others simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, all he could do was cleave a path to survival with all his strength!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi swung the woodcutting axe in his hand, his waist and back exerting force simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his power over a thousand pounds tore through air, easily knocking away the leading soldier’s blade and continuing to slash through his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The neck guard was thinner there, and the soldier’s head was instantly severed, blood spurting like a fountain to stain the surrounding ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second soldier was rapidly approaching from the left, giving Lou Yi no time to react, and the blade directly cut toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too late to change tactics now, and it seemed that Lou Yi would die under the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi tilted his body slightly, kicked the ground fiercely with both feet, and with huge inertia, he crashed into the opponent forcefully!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Splash!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This soldier fell into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the third soldier attacked from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skills were better than the previous two, attacking at a tricky angle and timing, making Lou Yi extremely uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just stabilized his stance, precisely when his old strength was exhausted and new power had yet to arise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when reluctantly turning to block with the axe, perhaps exerting only a fraction of his total strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier evidently noticed this, a smug smile appeared on his lips, seemingly seeing great merit beckoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the smile froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only felt a moment of mental dizziness, as if dozing off on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon realizing, his neck turned cold, vision rising higher as if flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flying along with his head was the blade that failed to achieve merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the nick of time, Lou Yi used his skill Splitting Mountain to intimidate and reverse-kill the soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the cooldown period of Splitting Mountain, Lou Yi exhibited his prowess, using Extreme Strength to once again eliminate three armored soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crossed the deck, reached ashore, and forcibly broke through the area with the fewest enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only hearing ’thud, thud, thud,’ several unfortunate ones met King Yama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining officers witnessed his ferocity, hesitating to approach, seeing Lou Yi about to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, not bad,\" Chief Luan still had a bland expression, as if everything was within his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, please take action!\" An archer requested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No hurry, where are the archers?\" Chief Luan looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, a squad of archers arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, shoot him dead!\" Chief Luan commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rain of arrows poured down on Lou Yi’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hoisted a dead body as a meat shield, he was still hit by multiple arrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, pursue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lou Yi successfully escaped the dock, Chief Luan still smiled and ordered the pursuit to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The archers gathered in increasing numbers, everyone riding fine horses, galloping toward Lou Yi’s escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone exclaimed in shock, finding Lou Yi’s speed comparable to leopards and tigers, the horses struggling to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can’t escape,\" Chief Luan confidently stated, \"All arrows are coated with special poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, the drug’s potency intensifies, even a martial artist can’t withstand it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Against such a brute, impatience can’t be allowed; over time, he’ll naturally expose a flaw. As the saying goes, once, twice, thrice and it’s exhausted.\" Chief Luan chuckled, \"Have you all learned something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chief Luan is wise! The official is indeed the official! Brilliant indeed!\" The surrounding archers flattered him, making Chief Luan laugh heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let Man Slaughter and Iron Hand witness who truly is the strongest Chief Constable outside the city!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on brute strength alone is the lowest grade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi felt his legs increasingly heavy, his eyelids seemingly filled with lead, ready to close at any time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the sound of enemy hooves grew clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Damn it!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was anxious, continuing like this, sooner or later he’d be caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the past, he was always forced to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment of enmity with the Qi Family, the ending seemed predestined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having offended someone with connections, is there no second path besides waiting for death and being killed after a difficult resistance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi was unwilling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having reincarnated with difficulty, must he die in such a disgraced manner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi instinctively looked toward the attribute panel, eyes flickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered the first line of the name on the panel had changed from pure green to faint red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faint red signified warning, indicating something was wrong with his body, perfectly aligns with the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a faint + sign appeared at the top right next to the name, hard to notice without looking closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yi’s eyes brightened, feeling a surge of new power within, barely supporting him to escape into a mountain ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain was covered in dense forests and rugged rocks, where Lou Yi first encountered the Black Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa...\" Chief Luan stopped his horse, looking at Lou Yi’s disappearing figure with a cold smile, \"Just a dying struggle, he won’t run far.
