Chapter 103: Killing Li Hu
Chapter 103: Killing Li Hu
………………
Li Hu turned around in disbelief, looking at Lu HaiKong, who was fair-faced and scholarly, resembling more of a scholar than a bandit. He couldn't quite understand why this guy gave him such a strong sense of danger.
Was it just his imagination?
Li Hu couldn't help but think so, but when he saw Lu HaiKong's calm expression, he knew it wasn't a mere illusion.
Li Hu and Lu HaiKong stared at each other, and for a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Just then, Yue Er, who had just recovered, spoke up unhappily, "Lu HaiKong, are you itching for a fight? How dare you steal my battle?"
Li Hu was startled by Yue Er's voice. He hadn't expected that the person he had fought fiercely with earlier, the one who could disregard life and death in a fight, was actually a woman.
"My apologies, I just couldn't resist. I'll only strike three times. After that, if you're still alive, you can continue fighting. I have no objections!" Lu HaiKong, who usually appeared weak in front of Yue Er, spoke with a cold and determined tone.
"Kill me with three strikes? Young man, you're being a bit too arrogant!"
Li Hu thought that Lu HaiKong could indeed give him a sense of danger, but it was just that—a sense of danger. He believed that this guy had the strength to threaten him, but he didn't think Lu HaiKong could kill him!
Lu HaiKong didn't say anything; instead, he directly rode towards Li Hu. Whether he could kill or not, it wasn't something to be said but done with actions!
As Lu HaiKong approached, Li Hu wasn't particularly tense at first. He even glanced at Yue Er, fearing that they might team up and launch a sneak attack. But as Lu HaiKong got closer, Li Hu's heart began to tighten, and a sense of crisis beyond words enveloped him.
It was dangerous, very dangerous. If he didn't defend with all his might, he might truly die!
In an instant, Li Hu realized this, and he dared not underestimate Lu HaiKong even in the slightest. He focused all his attention on guarding against Lu HaiKong's attack.
The Tiger King Art frantically circulated, gathering all his strength and inner power into his hands. Come on, the strongest state of Li Hu, absolutely fearless of anyone, no matter what kind of attack, he could block it for you!
This was the powerful self-confidence cultivated by his abilities, as well as the experience accumulated over decades of dominance. There was absolutely no one who could kill him within three strikes!
However, all this strength, confidence, and experience were shaken when Lu HaiKong's axe came down!
"Mountain-Opening Axe!"
Lu HaiKong's first move was a long-prepared, hidden technique, his secret weapon, which he had vowed not to use lightly after the last time.
With one strike of the axe, it truly was a heaven-shattering blow. Facing this attack, Li Hu's face changed instantly, as he felt himself tightly locked in place, unable to dodge or retreat, and could only meet it head-on. He braced his long spear with both hands to block Lu HaiKong's axe.
In this situation, Li Hu's Tiger King Art surged, concentrating all his power. Even with the added strength of the long spear, it was still difficult to block Lu HaiKong's axe.
As the axe came down, after blocking Lu HaiKong's strike, Li Hu, along with his horse, retreated over a dozen steps. Li Hu's arms were numbed and weakened by the immense, terrifying force, and the long spear in his hand had a new notch. Blood flowed from the nose and mouth of the horse he was riding.
Terrifying, this was the most frightening attack Li Hu had ever witnessed. Fortunately, it was executed while he was fully prepared, otherwise, a sneak attack would have meant certain death.
At this moment, Li Hu's combat power had decreased by three layers, but his mood was exceptionally relaxed. He knew he was safe, and he understood that such an attack was relative. While enduring this horrifying strike, Lu HaiKong also faced significant pressure. Li Hu couldn't believe Lu HaiKong could launch another attack.
But soon, his smile faded as he witnessed Lu HaiKong charging at him once more, maintaining the same terrifying posture and unleashing that deadly strike again!
He realized his miscalculation; indeed, before reaching a strength of 60, Lu HaiKong could only execute one 'Mountain-Opening Axe' strike. However, after surpassing 60 in strength, Lu HaiKong's abilities underwent a dramatic transformation. The most noticeable change was that he could now deliver two 'Mountain-Opening Axe' strikes.
Witnessing this, Li Hu's face darkened. But what else could he do? He had to block it. Li Hu staked his life, frantically harnessing all his strength and potential, knowing that failing to intercept this axe would mean death.
His inner energy surged wildly, and his hands gripped the axe tightly. Li Hu put his life on the line once more, successfully blocking Lu HaiKong's 'Mountain-Opening Axe' strike, preventing it from landing on his head.
Despite this, Li Hu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The powerful strike shattered the legs of his steed beneath him, along with his long spear and Lu HaiKong's Ornate Battle Axe.
Though arduous, Li Hu managed to withstand the attack. When Lu HaiKong's axe descended, Li Hu felt a sense of impending doom, but he survived.
In the 1619 book, there was no mistake!
Gazing at Lu HaiKong, who had fallen from his horse, weakened and exhausted, Li Hu was stunned. He had won; Lu HaiKong lacked the ability to execute a third axe strike. Victory in this battle was his!
"Come on, kid! You wanted to kill me with three axe strikes, right? You have one more. If you're capable, do it again!"
Li Hu burst into laughter, filled with pride, arrogance, and overwhelming joy at surviving.
As he spoke, Li Hu struggled to stand, gripping his remaining long spear. He approached to finish off Lu HaiKong, but a light-hearted voice interrupted.
"Oh well, since you sincerely begged, I'll reluctantly grant you one more axe strike!" Lu HaiKong's voice carried a robust tone, devoid of any weakness one would expect from exhaustion. Li Hu felt as if he had seen a ghost.
Even more outrageous, Lu HaiKong, who had just fallen from his horse due to exhaustion, stood up as if nothing had happened, smiling casually at Li Hu.
"Good thing I'm smart and kept a trick up my sleeve, not leveling 'Basic Axe Technique' to level 20. Otherwise, I'd be done for!"
Lu HaiKong approached Li Hu, fully revived. He didn't foolishly attempt another 'Mountain-Opening Axe' strike but instead seized Li Hu's weakened long spear and swiftly stabbed him with it.
"Congratulations! You have defeated a level 70 warrior, earning a Silver Chest and 50,000 allocable skill experience."
