Chapter 59

Even if his opponent were a true General, he firmly believed he would emerge victorious!

But he did not know if it was just an illusion.

As his halberd continued to descend, Su Li seemed to see a flash of panic cross the face of this Peng Hu before him.

But he did not know if it was just an illusion.

As his halberd continued to descend, Su Li seemed to see a flash of panic cross the face of this Peng Hu before him.

Perhaps it was because he had been shaken by his own powerful surprise attack.

Su Li did not overthink it; at this point, he just needed to kill Peng Hu and be done with it.

However...

The next moment.

Boom!

Puchi!

Thump!

Three consecutive sounds rang out, leaving Su Li stunned.

The first sound was the dull, booming impact of the black-backed long halberd in his hand colliding with the Xuanhua axe in the opponent's hand.

The second sound was the powerful recoil hitting both of them, accompanied by the sound of their weapons being knocked away.

The third sound... was actually the sound of the opponent being unable to withstand the subsequent force of that powerful impact, being sent flying backward along with his weapon.

Three types of sounds.

He had directly overpowered his opponent.

The bitter struggle Su Li had anticipated did not happen.

The opponent couldn't even block a strike where he hadn't even used his full strength before being crushed!

"As the leader of Tiger Might Stronghold, with the strength of a junior General, how could Peng Hu be this weak?"

The moment this thought popped into his mind, Su Li realized something was wrong, and his expression changed abruptly.

It was also at this moment.

From not far away, Linglong let out an urgent cry.

"Brother, watch out!"

"Someone is ambushing you!"

Fine!

There was no need for Linglong's warning; the moment Su Li realized something was wrong, a sharp aura accompanied by a cold chill suddenly came from behind him!

"Void-Breaking Slash!"

Following that, a thin figure, accompanied by a cold glint, instantly crossed a distance of over ten meters and attacked Su Li from behind!

In this moment of crisis, Su Li instinctively blocked in front of himself with his black-backed long halberd, doing his best to ward off that cold glint.

Boom!

In an instant, a deafening roar rang out, kicking up a sky full of dust!

The terrifying impact contained within that cold glint instantly blasted a huge depression into the ground, and then an even stronger shockwave swept toward Su Li.

This level of power was definitely a martial skill.

That powerful impact was borne almost entirely by Su Li alone, forcing him to take several steps back involuntarily.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Each step he took, his feet hitting the ground sounded like muffled thunder, and it wasn't until he had retreated six or seven steps that Su Li managed to neutralize that powerful impact.

However, at this moment.

Su Li suddenly felt his blood and Qi churning, his arms trembling, and a hot current surged uncontrollably from his chest to his throat, gushing out.

Pfft...

He spat out blood.

He had been ambushed by the enemy, and a sudden martial skill had directly caused internal injuries.

Su Li quickly adjusted his breathing to calm the churning blood and Qi in his body.

At this time, the dust gradually dissipated.

He finally saw clearly who the person attacking him was.

It was clearly the thin man who had come out with 'Peng Hu', the one everyone would have taken for a lackey carrying weapons.

But if this man had seemed to possess no presence at all just a moment ago, he was now standing before Su Li with his sharp edge fully exposed.

The man was wearing simple armor and held a silver curved blade over a meter long in his hand.

His gaze was cold, his expression gloomy, and his unremarkable face now bore a look of ferocity as he looked at Su Li: "You're not bad, to survive a strike of my martial skill, Void-Breaking Flash, under such circumstances!"

"No, you're the one who's not bad!"

He spat out a heavy breath of stagnant air, calming the hot current in his body that threatened to churn at any moment.

Su Li's gaze also locked onto the opponent, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect you to be the true leader of Tiger Might Stronghold, Peng Hu."

"Your schemes run deep; you actually arranged a body double beforehand to attract my attention!"

It was hard to imagine that this man, who appeared to have no presence, was the leader of Tiger Might Stronghold, Peng Hu.

Judging solely by appearance, neither his physique nor the weapon in his hand made him look more like the leader of Tiger Might Stronghold than the burly man with the Xuanhua axe from before.

Even by name, this man had no connection to the name Peng Hu.

The man simply did not live up to his name.

But it was precisely this subjective illusion that caused Su Li to suffer a major loss.

If he hadn't reacted in time to pull back his black-backed long halberd to block.

If it weren't for the powerful characteristic effects of the Red Blood Cavalry profession.

He probably wouldn't be standing here right now, but would be a corpse lying on the ground!

I must say, this Peng Hu really doesn't play by the rules of martial arts!

"Jie-hahaha! This is called 'all is fair in war'!"

At this moment, Peng Hu let out a series of sinister laughs, very satisfied that his scheme had succeeded.

Then he looked at Su Li with a vicious gaze: "It's just a pity that even though I calculated everything so well, I still couldn't kill you in one strike!"

"However..."

Having said this, Peng Hu's words paused for a moment before he continued: "This also shows that you have considerable skill. How about this: as long as you defect to me and join Tiger Might Stronghold, I won't kill you today."

"From now on, you will be the second-in-command of my Tiger Might Stronghold, eating and drinking well with the brothers, and I'll give you plenty of women to play with. Wouldn't that be grand?"

[Ding! Peng Hu invites you to join Tiger Might Stronghold. Do you accept?]

[Special Note: Once you agree to join Tiger Might Stronghold, you will automatically be defaulted to the bandit faction, your status as a player lord will be removed, and an alternative player quest will be triggered simultaneously.]

Uh...

Seeing the prompt that suddenly appeared before him, Su Li was instantly speechless; he hadn't expected this Peng Hu to invite him to join his stronghold.

And it could trigger an alternative player quest at the same time?

It sounded like it might be decent?

But it required removing his status as a player lord.

That sounded unreliable.

Therefore.

Su Li didn't need to consider it much and directly refused!
