Following the other's gaze, Qingye saw a boy standing on the mountaintop with a backpack, staring intently at the old monster on the battlefield!
Li Ke!
Even Qingye didn't know when Li Ke arrived at the battlefield.
The wind howled, but the young knight stood motionless on the mountaintop.
The next moment, Li Ke charged into the battlefield, locking his gaze on the old monster. Whenever the monster moved, his direction would immediately change accordingly.
Li Ke came specifically for this old monster!
Qingye's heart clenched. Li Ke's cultivation time was still short, at most he was only A-level, how dare he go and deal with the old monster, the Fate Master.
Has Li Shutong arrived? Has Wang Xiaojiu arrived?
However, Qingye observed for a long time but couldn't find any other knights. Qingye knew that the knights were Qing Chen's trump card, but was one Li Ke enough?
Even if Li Shutong and Wang Xiaojiu came, they probably wouldn't be able to kill the Demigod of Fate on their own!
But Li Ke didn’t seem to think so. He rushed down from the mountaintop, faster and faster, until he became a blur!
The moment he cut in from the edge of the orc legion, he saw one orc soldier after another being blasted into the sky. Those orc soldiers died on the spot without even being able to touch him.
Just like how the old monster Master of Fate had previously thwarted the parents' meeting, Li Ke was now returning the favor in kind!
Moreover, Li Ke's attacks were far more forceful than the old monster's. The old monster was nearing the end of his life and was careful with his moves, while Li Ke, young and strong, was fearless and acted as if he were in an empty field!
If we were to make a comparison, the old monster is a master archer who shoots arrows from the shadows, while Li Ke is like Zhao Yun, who charged in and out of Changban Slope seven times.
Qingye was shocked. Li Ke had already become a demigod?!
The old monster retreated, trying to avoid the young knight demigod's sharp edge, but no matter where he went, Li Ke locked onto him tightly, even when the tall beast soldiers blocked his view.
The old monster was somewhat puzzled. When did knights acquire such a method of locking onto targets on the battlefield?
After a dozen or so breaths, Li Ke had fiercely carved a bloody path through the enemy ranks.
Layer upon layer of orc legions surrounded them, roaring as they pounced.
The world was noisy and the sounds of beasts were deafening, but Li Ke did not stop.
Like a brave soldier crossing a river, it's not that they can't turn back, but that they don't want to.
In this gloomy world, Li Ke stood amidst a vast army, just like a loud Qinqiang opera voice breaking through a desolate world, tearing everything apart!
Layer upon layer of orc legions were cut through, not a single one could even touch the hem of Li Ke's clothes!
On the mountain, Qingye stared blankly as Li Ke charged towards the old monster, the Fate Master, with such ferocity!
The old monster sneered: "You've gone through all this trouble to come and die, and this is the first time I've seen someone like you, a knight demigod, trying to gain an advantage over me?"
Li Ke frowned: "What kind of gibberish are you spouting?!"
Li Ke doesn't understand English! He's never studied it!
He had asked Qingchen before: "Sir, should I learn the language of the Western Continent?"
Qingchen's answer was no, since the whole world will speak Chinese in the future, and there will be no need for their language.
At this moment, Li Ke was locked in a fierce battle with the old monster, and the surrounding orc legions no longer surrounded him, simply because the battle between demigods was something they could no longer interfere with.
Bystanders could only see two afterimages darting across the battlefield, but could not discern who the figures belonged to.
The old monster sensed something was wrong as soon as he and Li Ke exchanged blows. This was because the two had fought hundreds of times, but all their moves were just touches and then stopped. The old monster had the advantage of being able to see Li Ke's moves, so he could only probe and never use any real killing moves.
But Li Ke was exactly like him, as if he also possessed the ability to gain the upper hand!
What happened?
The two exchanged thousands of blows, covering a distance of three kilometers on the battlefield, but they never actually fought each other!
Not only was the old monster alarmed, but Qingye was also alarmed. He had drunk Jingshan tea and could naturally see the two fighting, but he was surprised to find that the two of them stopped at the point of contact with each move as if they were acting.
Why are they putting on an act?!
Wasn't it said that only Zhang Mengqian possessed a natural sixth sense? How come Li Ke could also use such bizarre methods?!
Qingye originally thought that Li Ke would suffer a loss in front of the Fate Master, but the script took a completely different turn than he expected!
The Fate Master seemed to remember something and looked at the backpack on Li Ke's back, his expression turning to surprise and uncertainty: "A replica backpack?"
This forbidden item is indeed a replica backpack that Qingchen seized on Mount Everest: by placing a part of a creature's body into the backpack, one can gain the creature's abilities for a period of seven days.
Placing a part of a dog's body grants the sense of smell, placing it in a bat grants ultrasonic abilities, placing it in a fish grants gills, and placing it in a superhuman may grant the superhuman's abilities.
So, what offers the best value for money? It's definitely the Virtuoso's body parts.
Originally, Qing Chen and the others did not know the function of this forbidden object until the Black Spider gave them the answer.
Therefore, in the battle outside Jianmen Pass against the King of the Fate Master, March was entrusted by Ginkgo Mountain to go to the battlefield. His first task was to wield the black knife and slay the ten thousand snakes to prevent the old king from taking people down with him. His second task was to take the old king's head and interrogate him for 5 minutes with a wooden fish. In this way, they learned about the orcs' plan to split their forces into seven routes to the south and the plans of the Storm Fortress. His third task was to take one of the old king's hands and give it to Li Ke!
Now, if the old monster Fate Master can foresee the future, so can Li Ke.
What they risked their lives to retrieve deep into the battlefield in March has shone brightly today!
This journey was a scheme by which the Fate Master lost to Ginkgo Mountain!
Both sides have the advantage of being able to defeat the enemy. This is definitely not as simple as a draw. Li Ke's knightly body is stronger than the body of the virtuoso!
The old monster, the Fate Master, gradually noticed that Li Ke's speed was increasing and his strength was growing. Flame patterns bloomed on the young knight's cheeks, showing no signs of exhaustion.
At this moment, the old monster realized that the knight in front of him had just been promoted to demigod. The reason why the other party had not used his full strength earlier was because he was testing his speed and strength after his promotion!
This terrified the old monster. His raw power was enough to put him to a draw. If Li Ke were to become fully familiar with his body, he would surely be defeated!
In an instant, Li Ke became even more ferocious. Relying on his stronger body, he began to fight the old monster head-on.
While virtuosos rely on the initiative to evade attacks, the young knight uses his ability to gain the upper hand to find opportunities for mutual destruction and a swift victory!
He used all his advantages to force the old monster to retaliate!
Li Ke knew very well that as long as this old monster, the Fate Master, lived, the war on the A1 front would not be over.
The two exchanged punches, one after another, creating ripples that spread outwards until the skin on their hands cracked and bled profusely!
This was the first time the old monster, the Fate Master, had encountered such a fighting style. In his previous battles, his enemies could never hit him, but now he had run into someone who didn't care about his life.
He looked at Li Ke in astonishment. The young man's eyes were cold, without a trace of madness.
The opponent is playing with the calmest will and the most desperate style of fighting!
The two fought from the east to the west of the battlefield, from the orc army camp to the parent-teacher association camp, and then back into the orc army camp. Wherever they went, everyone avoided them, and no one could get a hand in them.
Gradually, the old monster, the Fate Master, began to vomit blood as he attacked, because during their clash, Li Ke's powerful blows shattered his internal organs inch by inch.
The next second, with a crack, the old monster's right hand broke when he threw a punch!
Li Ke, with no more restraint, launched an attack like a torrential downpour.
The old monster wanted to escape, but Li Ke wouldn't let him go.
Qingye watched the battle unfold, and the Shadow Army also came up the mountain, praising, "A knight demigod! I was worried about what we would do with so many demigod monsters in the Western Continent, but someone on our side actually broke through in the heat of battle! Qingchen has taken a good disciple!"
"Wait a minute, doesn't Qing Chen have a disciple named Zhang Mengqian? He's said to be the most powerful of the next generation of knights. Where is he?"
"They probably went to other fronts," Qingye said, watching the orc legion gradually show signs of collapse.
The battle raged from noon until dusk, lasting for several hours, leaving the battlefield strewn with corpses.
Among the corpses were members of the parent-teacher association, but even more were from the orc legion; the battle was incredibly brutal on both sides.
Qingye sighed, "I know that war requires bloodshed, but it is still too terrible to look at... It's a matter of life and death."
On the battlefield, Li Ke's attack speed gradually slowed down, and this fierce battle that had lasted for several hours was finally coming to an end.
At this point, the old monster, the Fate Master, had gradually lost his initial agility and insight. His injuries left him only able to mechanically and wearily deal with Li Ke's attacks.
The next second, Li Ke threw a punch, and the old monster swung his left hand to retaliate, but Li Ke suddenly dodged!
This was the first time in hours that Li Ke had managed to evade the old monster's counterattack!
The old monster was startled. He suddenly realized that the young knight had been fighting him for so long, all in preparation for this moment!
In a flash, Li Ke brushed past the old monster, using his waist as a pivot! He swung his arm!
His right hand fell from above at an angle, and a playing card appeared out of nowhere in his hand. As the two brushed past each other, the playing card between his two fingers was like a sharp knife, severing the old monster's head and right arm.
The battlefield was silent.
Li Ke stood panting behind the old monster. It was only at this moment that the old monster suddenly remembered that the person he was fighting was a knight, a knight who could use anything as a sword!
A sticky, disgusting sound came, and the old monster's shoulders, arms, and head slid off his body.
A cheer erupted on the battlefield, the cheers swirling around Li Ke in the center. The young knight straightened up and said softly, "Revenge has been taken, but it's not enough."
With that, he dragged his wounded body back into the orc army, becoming the sharpest cleaver on the front lines of the parent-teacher conference, like Poseidon wielding his trident and parting the sea.
The decisive battle between the eastern and western continents has begun, and no one can turn back now.
Those within the conflict cannot see the whole picture. Perhaps only long after the war ends will someone be able to see what Ginkgo Mountain actually did for this war.
Qingye turned and walked down the mountain: "Let's go, it's time to celebrate, but we don't have much time to be happy. There are still six fronts that could be breached at any time. The parents' meeting suffered heavy casualties today, and we don't know how to fight in the future."
...
...
180 kilometers east of City 10, Qing Chen was running at full speed on a long-abandoned road, his shoes worn out at some point.
At first, Black Spider didn't believe that Qingchen was faster than the Fifth Princess, but after she put Qingchen down, she suddenly realized that... Qingchen was indeed faster than the airship.
This level of physical strength is beyond the reach of demigods. The only regret is that Qing Chen's mental state and combat skills are still far from his former peak.
He can be brave at times, but most of the time he's just like an ordinary high school student.
Black Spider understood that Qing Chen remained calm and chose the optimal solution from all options to contact the parents' meeting; that was the correct answer he had rationally arrived at.
But one's temperament is hard to change; he needs to go through certain experiences.
Sometimes, what others tell you is completely different from your own experience.
Black Spider watched Qing Chen gradually disappear into the distance from the Fifth Princess, left behind to fly 'slowly'...
At this moment, Qing Chen had run over a thousand kilometers without showing any signs of fatigue. When he saw the outline of City 10, he finally slowed down.
The immigration gates were quiet; the city was completely under martial law.
The troops from the Western Continent did not stay here, but left two marquises and four barons to lead 20,000 puppet troops to garrison here.
