Chapter 98

"Everyone protect me!"

Crazy!

Wang Ke roared in his heart.

It shouldn't be like this!

This is impossible! Why could such a massive legion charge, yet fail to break through a line formed by a mere hundred people!

He didn't know that the Xuanwu Guards were defense experts, and the defensive shields at this moment were linked to the power of the shield guards behind them.

Seemingly thin, they were actually incredibly strong.

The coalition forces looked massive, but in reality, most were Level 2 or 3 territories; less than 30% were Level 4, and Level 5s were few and far between.

What kind of elites could territories of such levels cultivate?

To the Xuanwu Guards, they were just cannon fodder.

Their power could not be fully concentrated on one point, and their momentum could not be stacked layer by layer, so it dissipated.

Useless.

All useless!

Wang Ke ordered people to protect him, but the chaotic crowd rushing back and forth pinned down his troops.

It was during this delay that Li Xu had already killed his way to the front.

Swish swish swish!

The great sword danced, and the several elites who followed Li Xu out also guarded his left and right.

Li Xu was responsible for clearing the path, striving to break through in the shortest time possible.

The others were responsible for finishing off enemies, ensuring the kill count.

Having long received Milan's guidance and training, everyone was tempering themselves day after day.

Tonight, at this moment, their results fully blossomed.

Wang Ke swore he had never seen ordinary troops with such power.

By comparison, what kind of trash was he carrying in this army.

Without a word, Wang Ke turned and ran.

He realized he had been careless; he shouldn't have shown his face so early, nor should he have personally participated in the attack.

He should have been planning strategies, he should have been sitting securely in the center commanding.

Seeing Wang Ke about to escape, Li Xu became anxious!

"Break!"

The sword tip exploded with invisible battle qi, blooming like a lotus flower in the enemy crowd, forcibly breaking open an area.

Then the great sword was gripped tightly with both hands, the tip pointing at Wang Ke's back.

Li Xu suddenly entered a mysterious moment; at this instant, his essence, energy, and spirit were perfectly unified.

Chen Ping, who was watching the whole process from the low hill, gave an "eh."

"He is about to break through, advancing to Great Swordsman."

Milan said softly from the side, nodding as she spoke, clearly very satisfied with Li Xu.

Militia, Basic Soldier, Swordsman.

Great Swordsman is the subsequent advancement of Swordsman, already a Level 3 profession.

Reaching this level, there would be a qualitative breakthrough, already involving the realm of qi for physical professions.

The battle qi that exploded earlier was precisely one of the manifestations.

Growing from a militia all the way to the present, Li Xu could be called the epitome of all beings in the Jiuzhou Territory under the principle that "Heaven rewards diligence."

He was the representative of "Heaven rewards diligence."

Normally, for a militia to transfer to a Basic Soldier, they would need to train in the barracks for a month.

Then they would need to continue training for three to six months before it was possible to transfer to Swordsman.

Many people basically had their development prospects cut off at this step.

But in the Jiuzhou Territory, as long as you wanted to, as long as you were willing to pay the price, you could absolutely continue to advance.

Not only that, the time you needed would also be significantly shortened.

Li Xu's breakthrough came at just the right time.

At this moment, the army had just come to its senses, and a new round of counterattack had not yet fully coalesced.

There were flaws and loopholes everywhere in the formation, and the chaos could not dissipate for a while.

A faint layer of qi suddenly appeared on Li Xu's body, which wouldn't be noticed if one didn't look closely.

Battle Qi Skill, Wave Condensation.

In a Swordsman, it was also called Sword Qi.

Wang Ke's hair stood on end, and his whole body stiffened on the horse's back.

The two heroic spirits guarding him turned around decisively, preparing to meet Li Xu's thrust.

But at this moment, an explosion whistled over!

A long spear radiating light shot over like an arrow!

The two heroic spirits only had time to assume a defensive posture before being blasted left and right by the spear.

Li Xu's eyes lit up; how could he let such a good opportunity slip by?

This was an opportunity created for him by Lord Milan!

He must not let her down!

Kill!

Li Xu swung his sword and charged straight, slashing out a crescent sword qi!

Wang Ke, along with his horse, sprayed a sheet of blood mist amidst the crowd, and screams resounded all around!

Wang Ke, with a face full of horror and shock, flew out; his vision twisted in mid-air, and he saw Li Xu behind him.

He actually died at the hands of someone who had been summoned?

Wang Ke's gaze forced itself to look into the distance, but he couldn't see Chen Ping's appearance, only the mountain-like Xuanwu Guards.

His death, it seemed, was insignificant to Chen Ping...

At the last moment of his life, Wang Ke felt nothing; all that remained was excruciating pain!

He was afraid!

Wang Ke fell into the army, covered by the dense crowd of soldiers, and Li Xu also lost the possibility of pursuit.

He held his great sword high and shouted:

"Wang Ke is dead!"

"Tianqu is invincible! Jiuzhou is invincible!!!"

The other warriors following Li Xu also shouted loudly, the sound spreading continuously, alarming many lords of the coalition.

Everyone looked over one after another, discovering that Wang Ke was indeed gone!

From the start of the war to this moment, fear finally exploded in the coalition for the first time.

Looking again at the piles of corpses and accumulated blood on the low hill, it was like a living hell!

"Kill! What are you afraid of! They must be at the end of their rope too!"

"Kill! Charge one more time!"

"Charge!!!"

"I can't take it anymore, it shouldn't be like this!"

"No, my territory has been raided; are those damn guys in the back just eating for free!"

The coalition was in chaos; some were regrouping into a military formation, preparing to charge again.

Others turned around and ran back because their own territories were under attack.

The territory was the foundation of a lord; once the territory was destroyed, lords of this level had almost no possibility of rebuilding.

If I'm here charging and fighting, but my allies can't protect my home, then what's the point of charging!

But no matter who they were, in fact, they had another reason in their hearts they dared not speak.

That was that they were afraid.

Because they were afraid, they desperately organized charges.

Because they were afraid, they wanted to escape back to their territories regardless of everything.

Seeing the chaos in the coalition expanding, Milan re-condensed a long spear and stepped forward. ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
