Chapter 21

"Your [Advanced Blade Technique] (LV.2) proficiency +10, current proficiency 16910/20000!..."

"Due to your talent [Hundredfold Growth], you gained extra growth during this process, [Advanced Blade Technique] proficiency +1000, current proficiency 17010/20000!"

I bloom in the midst of slaughter, like a flower in the dawn!

The slaughter continued, and the game's notifications never stopped for a moment.

Until...

More than half of the bandits were slaughtered by Su Li, and the remaining bandits didn't dare to step forward actively.

He stopped the action of swinging the blade, pulled the reins, shook them, shook off the blood on his body, stepped over the corpses all over the ground, and took a step forward.

Step!

Every step the Akhal-teke horse took, the ground would emit a crisp sound.

Every step the Akhal-teke horse took forward, it would make the numerous bandits surrounding him retreat in unison!

This is a real game world, and the NPCs inside are actually just like real humans.

They also have greed and desires, and when facing the strong, they will also feel afraid.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of bandits were slaughtered by more than half.

Not only were those ordinary bandits fearful, taking the initiative to retreat in terror, but even those bandit leaders hidden among them, who had robbed countless villages and had blood on their hands, were scared silly.

What kind of enemy is this!

At this time, Su Li had already ridden the Akhal-teke horse to the front.

Behind him was a bloody path dyed red with blood and paved with severed limbs and corpses.

In his hand was the still-bright Fine Iron Long Blade, and on his body was the crimson heavy armor that couldn't be distinguished between scarlet bloodstains or its own color! But one could vaguely see some minced meat flowing down along with those scarlet blood!

Such a terrifying situation, let alone a bandit leader, even those battle-hardened veterans who had retired from the battlefield would probably be terrified, right!

Da.

Da.

Da.

Horse hooves hitting the ground.

Walking slowly step by step to the remaining bandits, Su Li raised the blade in his hand again and said expressionlessly: "Surrender, or die!"

"No... no..."

"Don't..."

The bandits wanted to beg for mercy, but the bandit leader hung in their hearts like a mountain, making them not know what to do, standing stiffly in place, their dry throats unable to even utter a complete sentence.

"Since no one surrenders, then you all go to hell."

The Fine Iron Long Blade had already been raised high.

In the reflections of the bandits' eyes, they could even see the still-bright blade aura on the long blade.

"Stop!"

However, just at this moment when Su Li was about to slash down, suddenly a chaotic sound of footsteps rang out from afar.

Immediately following, a roar full of anger, accompanied by a violent sound of breaking air, came!

Boom!

His body still maintaining its original action, the Fine Iron Long Blade in Su Li's hand slashed toward the side fiercely, blasting away a halberd that was attacking rapidly.

Then.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Fine Iron Long Blade in Su Li's hand slashed down mercilessly!

Chi!

The blade aura with blood lines exploded again.

More than ten bandits, including several bandit leaders, were blasted to death on the spot.

New game notifications flashed timely on Su Li's character panel.

"You have killed a bandit leader, you gain 200 experience points!"

"You have killed a bandit leader, you gain 200 experience points!"

"Your [Advanced Blade Technique] (LV.2) proficiency +10, current proficiency 19040/20000!..."

"Due to your talent [Hundredfold Growth], you gained extra growth during this process, [Advanced Blade Technique] proficiency +1000, current proficiency 20040/20000!"

"Congratulations! Your [Advanced Blade Technique] has leveled up, current level LV.3!"

Advanced Blade Technique finally leveled up to LV.3.

Seeing this, Su Li turned to the side with satisfaction, facing the newly appeared enemies.

The true elites of this mountain stronghold, and the bandit leader!

New book setting sail, begging for flowers, begging for reviews!!!

The entire mountain stronghold was laid out in a ring, enclosed by square buildings on all four sides.

In the center stood a spacious hall, and directly above its entrance, a black plaque bore the large characters: "Justice-Gathering Hall."

Behind the Justice-Gathering Hall was the training ground.

At this moment.

A fierce-looking, one-eyed man with an eyepatch covering half his face led over a hundred well-equipped enemies as they filed out of the training ground and appeared in the plaza in front of the Justice-Gathering Hall.

A bandit leader is merely a leader, belonging to an advanced unit type among bandits.

This one-eyed man who had just appeared was the true leader of the entire stronghold!

The one-eyed man’s profession was [Bandit Chief], a high-tier profession evolved from an elite unit, only one grade below Su Li’s special unit.

Besides him, there were twenty [Hardened Bandits]—an elite unit among bandits—and over a hundred well-equipped advanced units.

Compared to the hundreds of small-fry bandits in the plaza earlier, these twenty elite units and over a hundred well-equipped advanced units were the true foundation of this stronghold!

If not for the bug-level existence that was Su Li.

At the current stage, basically no individual player could take down a mountain stronghold.

It would take hundreds or thousands of lord players working together, giving their all, to have even a slight chance of winning through sheer numbers.

"I said..."

"Stop!!!"

The voice, filled with rage, roared once more, but the one-eyed man’s gaze also swept over the river of blood and corpses before him, and he felt a secret tremor of fear in his heart.

From hearing the sounds of slaughter outside to gathering his forces and rushing to the plaza, only a few minutes had passed.

Yet in these few minutes...

Two or three dozen bandit leaders and hundreds of ordinary bandits had been slaughtered, more than half of them!

In all fairness.

If he swapped roles with the enemy, the one-eyed man would not be confident in achieving all this in such a short time.

Perhaps out of fear of the formidable strength Su Li had displayed.

After that angry shout, the one-eyed man made no further moves; his voice calmed down, and he managed to squeeze out a "kind" look: "Your strength is formidable, my friend; this leader is impressed!"

"I will not ask why you invaded or what grudges you hold, but can we stop here? This leader is willing to offer one hundred gold coins to turn hostility into friendship!"

In this realistic Three Kingdoms game, NPCs at the leader level are not low in intelligence.

He knew Su Li’s strength was immense; if the conflict continued, even if they won, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the one-eyed man decisively swallowed his pride, prepared to spend money to avoid disaster.

He had only obtained a dozen gold coins after successfully defending against a raid by wandering bandits earlier.

Now, this bandit leader was offering a hundred gold coins in one go.

Needless to say, it was a grand gesture.

But for Su Li, it failed to stir any interest at all.

Besides, no matter how many gold coins there were, if he wiped out this stronghold, wouldn't they all be his anyway?

"If you think that is too little, how about I add another hundred gold coins?"

Seeing no change on Su Li’s face, the one-eyed man assumed he hadn't offered enough and added more with a pained expression.
