"It's not easy to go home and have a meal." Lu Hai Kong sighed, then walked out carrying the ornate battle axe.
"Eleven near-vassals and one commander, quite an impressive formation."
"But do you really think you can defeat me with just these people?" Lu Hai Kong's eyes flashed with cold determination, and as he slammed the axe into the ground, a faint aura of killing intent, accumulated from countless slaughters, seemed to emanate from his body.
Hu Yin Xiong's copper-bell-sized eyes flashed with a keen light, and a slight smile of interest appeared on his lips, "This Han dog is quite interesting!"
"I'll take care of them, and no one is to interfere!"
Hu Yin Xiong spoke in the Xianbei language to Li Xiong, then brandished a nearly six-foot-long, bowl-thick iron rod and charged towards Lu Hai Kong.
"Han dog, take my rod!" Hu Yin Xiong roared, swinging the iron rod towards Lu Hai Kong's head.
Lu Hai Kong couldn't understand what this guy was saying, but judging from Hu Yin Xiong's disdainful expression, it probably wasn't anything nice. At this moment, Lu Hai Kong didn't have time to worry about what was being said; engaging in battle was the most important thing.
Hu Yin Xiong's physique was extremely robust, standing nearly two meters tall, and the iron rod in his hand weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds. It was clear at a glance that he was a strength-type fighter, and although Lu Hai Kong's strength had already far surpassed that of ordinary people due to the Bull Strength, he had no intention of competing with someone who had such natural, extraordinary power.
Having kept his eyes on Hu Yin Xiong for a long time, Lu Hai Kong nimbly dodged the rod that was aimed at his head. The fifty or sixty-pound iron rod smashed into the ground, creating a pit the size of a bowl.
"You dodged? You're no fun, Han dog! Take my rod honestly!" Hu Yin Xiong glared at Lu Hai Kong in dissatisfaction, about to continue his attack, when Lu Hai Kong struck back.
Facing Hu Yin Xiong, Lu Hai Kong unleashed the Mountain Splitting Axe Technique, which was slightly slower in speed but immensely powerful!
With one swing of the axe, even Hu Yin Xiong took a slight step back, feeling the force transmitted through the rod. Hu Yin Xiong's copper-bell-sized eyes suddenly shone with intense light.
"Not bad, very good. This strength can make for an exciting battle!"
Lu Hai Kong's attack sparked Hu Yin Xiong's keen interest. This guy's momentum surged, and he wielded his massive iron rod, battling fiercely with Lu Hai Kong.
Hu Yin Xiong was indeed born with divine strength, his power almost unmatched by anyone Lu Hai Kong had encountered. Even Gao Shun, with a strength rating of 69, wouldn't be this guy's match in pure strength.
This type of strength-focused opponent was currently Lu Hai Kong's most disliked adversary, especially when their power completely overwhelmed his own. Lu Hai Kong's axe technique's immense power couldn't be fully displayed, as even his ten-layer-force strike could be effortlessly blocked by his opponent. This battle was not an easy one for Lu Hai Kong.
However, up until now, the battle between Lu Hai Kong and Hu Yin Xiong remained in a stalemate. Lu Hai Kong had known from the start that he might not surpass this guy in pure strength, so from the beginning, he hadn't intended to compete solely on strength. In the fight, he focused on evasion as the primary strategy and offense as the secondary, barely finding his own rhythm amidst Hu Yin Xiong's storm of relentless attacks.
"No, this can't go on! If it continues, I’m definitely done for!" Lu Hai Kong was crystal clear about the situation. He knew that the other party was far stronger than him. While his attacks could be easily countered, a single misstep on his part could lead to a devastating outcome.
"Wow, you've improved quite a bit! Managing to hold on against Hu Yinxiong, that's impressive. But you look pretty desperate, don't you? What happened to your earlier confidence? Didn't you say that a mere Commander-level opponent couldn't defeat you? Show me your true strength!" Li Xiong sneered from the sidelines.
In reality, Lu Hai Kong's strength had genuinely surprised Li Xiong. He never expected Lu Hai Kong to hold his own against Hu Yinxiong like this. Li Xiong's martial skills were not particularly formidable, and in his eyes, Lu Hai Kong seemed to be holding his own, despite the obvious strain. The outcome of the fight was still uncertain, so Li Xiong decided to use verbal taunts to disrupt Lu Hai Kong's concentration.
"Wang Chao Ma Han, kill those bandits for me!" Lu Hai Kong issued a decisive order.
The battle between Lu Hai Kong and Hu Yinxiong was too intense to allow for any mistakes. He needed to silence Li Xiong's mouth and seize this opportunity.
Lu Hai Kong could hold off Hu Yinxiong for a bit longer. If Wang Chao Ma Han and the others could eliminate Li Xiong first, then turn around and join forces, overwhelming Hu Yinxiong would be as simple as drinking water or eating a meal.
At Lu Hai Kong's command, Wang Chao Ma Han and the others charged forward, engaging Li Xiong and his group in battle.
At first, Li Xiong's face was full of mockery. He thought Lu Hai Kong was just panicking and lashing out. He had seen Wang Chao Ma Han's strength, which was far below his own. These guys were lucky just to be alive, and now they dared to come and seek their own deaths. Bring it on, who was afraid of whom!
However, the reality soon proved that Li Xiong was the one who should be afraid.
Wang Chao Ma Han and his group were all at a Strength of 50, and there were ten of them. The four Xianbei on Li Xiong's side could still hold their own, but the Black Wind Fort bandits were in a tragic situation. With a Strength of only 40, they were no match for Wang Chao Ma Han and his group and were quickly crushed.
"What's going on? This can't be possible! These guys were weaker than me just a few days ago. How did they suddenly become stronger than me?" Li Xiong's face turned pale as he struggled to hold his ground against Wang Chao Ma Han.
He couldn't fathom how these people, who were weaker than him a few days ago, could now overpower him. It felt like they must have cheated.
"I can't let this continue!" Li Xiong blocked Wang Chao Ma Han's attack and shouted in Xianbei, appealing to Hu Yinxiong, who was still fighting Lu Hai Kong: "Hu Warrior, if you keep playing around, we're going to die!"
"Useless, Black Wind Fort is full of weaklings, except for that one person!" Hu Yinxiong glanced disdainfully at the struggling Li Xiong. Despite his words, Hu Yinxiong unleashed even greater power, forcing Lu Hai Kong to retreat continuously.
"I can't hold on any longer. This guy's strength is still increasing. Looks like I have no choice but to use that move!"
