Chapter 774 Mr. Zhang 3, what a talent!
Chapter 774 Mr. Zhang San, a true talent!
Despite the excruciating pain in his thighs and throat, Li Kang raised his head, his eyes burning with a murderous rage.
A pale yellow light shone on his body, and bristles as sharp as steel needles grew out of his skin.
"Big Steelmane!"
Steel bristles, a large, ferocious wild boar, is his martial spirit.
Wen Ziyi watched with great interest as Li Kang's martial soul possessed him. The intelligence he had gathered had already thoroughly analyzed the large wild boar martial soul, Steel Mane.
"I knew that voice sounded familiar! It sounded like the mad dog whose kennel I burned down back then!"
Li Kang forcefully squeezed the blade off his thigh, and the powerful physique of a Beast Soul Master quickly stopped the bleeding from his wound.
"Back then, your wife was writhing in agony in the flames, which gave me a good drink!"
Wen Ziyi remained calm, even as the three-meter-tall Li Kang stood before him.
His gaze swept over every joint of Li Kang—ribs, thigh bones, neck bones—as if the other man were merely meat on a chopping board.
Unable to bear Wen Ziyi's butcher-like gaze, Li Kang roared and swung his arms down like iron hammers.
Wen Ziyi slightly pushed off with his toes, avoiding Li Kang's arms. Four white chess pieces appeared in front of him, connecting to form a shield that blocked the large amount of dust that was kicked up.
Seizing the opportunity, Li Kang used his keen sense of smell to pinpoint Wen Ziyi's location amidst the rising dust, then crouched low and charged forward.
"Fang Slash!"
The huge boar tusks, accompanied by a foul stench, hurtled straight towards Wen Ziyi's neck.
"A move makes a game."
Two black chess pieces fell from the sky, transforming into two long black sticks that blocked Li Kang's fangs.
"Bang!"
Li Kang felt as if he had crashed into a pillar of bronze supporting the palace; the immense resistance made his teeth ache.
"It seems you really enjoy taking off all your restraints when you're doing that, even your storage ring."
Wen Ziyi placed four more black pieces. Two of them passed through Li Kang's relatively slender neck, while the remaining two black pieces transformed into sharp spears that pierced through Li Kang's back and emerged from his stomach.
"Ahhhhh!"
Li Kang's eyes turned bloodshot from the pain, and his ninth spirit ring was about to light up.
"Soul Chainmail".
A soul tool resembling a breastplate appeared in Wen Ziyi's hand. He made a hand seal, and the two black chess pieces that had pierced Li Kang immediately lit up, then attracted each other like two powerful magnets.
The excruciating pain of his intestines being ripped open rendered Li Kang, who had lived a life of luxury, incapable of reacting.
The pain of having his organs forcibly transferred caused his ninth soul skill to fail to activate.
Wen Ziyi instantly pressed the Soul Lock Armor in his hand onto Li Kang, and at the same time, four white chess pieces appeared beside him.
Soul-Locking Nails instantly popped out from within the Soul Lock Armor, piercing into Li Kang's body and sealing his meridians.
"Huff... This is impossible! You were clearly just a Soul Saint before!" Li Kang forcefully raised his head, his crimson beast eyes like balloons filled with blood, as if they would burst at the slightest touch.
Wen Ziyi did indeed have this feeling, and a fine needle, as thin as a cow's hair, appeared in his hand and pierced into Li Kang's swollen eyeball.
A sharp, intensely itchy sensation swept over Li Kang's entire right eyeball, like a hardened eyelash had fallen into his eye. The pain amplified the sensation, making his eyeball extremely painful.
"laugh!"
A small spurt of blood gushed from Li Kang's right eyeball, but was blocked by the barrier formed by the white chess pieces.
"Soul Saint? I am now too." Wen Ziyi raised seven soul rings with a forced smile.
Looking at the seven spirit rings radiating intense light, Li Kang was puzzled. He was clearly a Title Douluo, so why was he defeated by Wen Ziyi so easily?
A small manufacturing chainsaw appeared in Wen Ziyi's hand, and he casually measured the fangs near Li Kang's mouth.
The ear-piercing cutting sound was accompanied by screams.
"The color is quite nice. It seems you've consumed the upgrade pills I hid in my treasure vault, accumulating strength to an impressive degree. So what if you're a Title Douluo?"
Wen Ziyi's smile was incredibly amiable, but the violent killing intent in his eyes made Li Kang feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
A burst of fire erupted behind Wen Ziyi, illuminating the night sky. A strong gust of wind blew off Wen Ziyi's hair tie, and his hair fluttered in the wind.
In Li Kang's eyes, the person standing in front of him at this moment was a vengeful demon who had crawled back from the flames.
"You!! You can't kill me!"
Li Kang struggled frantically, but the Soul Lock Armor had already locked the flow of soul power within his body. In a little while, even the soul power that sustained his martial soul would dissipate.
"Is that so?" Wen Ziyi raised his hand and placed four more black chess pieces, piercing through Li Kang's limbs and tearing off large chunks of flesh.
"Ah! I am an official appointed by the imperial court! I am subject to His Majesty's orders!"
"My Li family has been loyal to His Majesty for generations! I, Li Kang, have guarded the border for many years and have rendered countless merits!"
Seeing Wen Ziyi hesitate for a moment, Li Kang began to struggle frantically.
He was a high-ranking official in the imperial court and one of the generals of the border army!
"Damn it! Why haven't those bar bastards come to rescue me yet!" Li Kang was annoyed that the soldiers below hadn't noticed their general was missing.
Wen Ziyi coldly watched Li Kang, who was lying on the ground struggling like a dead dog, and then dropped another black silk chess piece, piercing through Li Kang's limbs inch by inch.
"No! Ahhh... Ah!!!"
Li Kang finally couldn't hold on any longer and released his martial spirit possession. His limbs had almost turned into minced meat.
"I'm... a high-ranking official... you... you can't kill me!"
Wen Ziyi laughed, a bright and somewhat manic laugh, as he took out a token from his pocket.
"In the name of the Grand Commander of the Protectorate of the Nation, Li Kang, one of the generals stationed on the Tianhun Border Army, is accused of dereliction of duty, contempt for military law, arbitrary oppression of soldiers, and turning a blind eye to the collapse of military discipline during his tenure, which led to the Tianhun Border Army recklessly crossing the Sun and Moon Border Line, seriously endangering national security."
"Oh, and one more thing: you posed a life-threatening threat to the patrol officer sent by the Grand Commander and attempted to kill the patrol officer, Wen Ziyi. These are the charges against Li Kang. By order of the Grand Commander, I hereby strip you of your title of general and imprison you."
The latest novel is first published here!
Wen Ziyi spoke calmly, his smile now tinged with madness.
Li Kang shuddered. He looked at the exquisite token in Wen Ziyi's hand. As a border general, he immediately understood what Wen Ziyi wanted to do.
He is dying!
"No! It can't be you! I want to see His Majesty! My Li family has been loyal for generations!" Li Kang struggled violently, but his limbs had already been crippled.
A knife appeared in Wen Ziyi's hand, with the four large characters "Command to Cease" engraved on its blade.
"Oh, so you also accepted the beautiful concubine sent by Tianhun? Colluding with an enemy country is a heinous crime, punishable by immediate execution!"
As the blade flashed, Li Kang's right hand flew out, followed by his right forearm. His right arm, the flesh of his shoulder.
The screams echoed through the military camp for more than two hours.
The Evil Lord Squad, having taken over the camp, drove all the garrison back into their tents, their level-eight soul-guided rays emitting a chilling glow.
Level 9 soul tools are not allowed on the border between two countries when there is no war. The level 9 soul tools of Li Kang's army are placed in the military camp in Dongyang City. The standard level 8 soul tools in the army cannot compare with the equipment of the Guardian Hand.
Hearing the piercing screams from above, Feng Jinghuai couldn't help but shudder and hug himself tightly. "I never imagined that Old Wen, usually so gentle and refined, could be so terrifying when he's ruthless. He's ruthless enough, and his hands are vicious enough. These poker-faced people are not to be trifled with!"
After an unknown amount of time, a figure covered in blood walked over, holding a human head with half of its skeleton exposed in its hand.
"I am the inspector personally appointed by the Grand Commander, the Protector of the Nation. I have discovered that Li Kang, the border general of the Heavenly Soul Army, has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, disregarded His Majesty's orders, and intended to amass troops in rebellion. The guilty general has now been executed. I now order you all to report those who colluded with Li Kang. Those who successfully report will be rewarded." Wen Ziyi threw Li Kang's head on the ground. His disheveled hair and blood-soaked appearance made the border soldiers who were secretly watching tremble.
Almost the instant Wen Ziyi gave the order, border soldiers brought out their general.
Within fifteen minutes, all of Li Kang's trusted generals were bound hand and foot and thrown to the ground.
Looking at these generals who were crying and wailing, Wen Ziyi took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his face and laughed, "If you don't want to die, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourselves through meritorious service."
"Li Kang of the Li family has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. The Li family must have done something dirty. If you know this, this is your chance to redeem yourselves."
While carrying out the mission, we happened to uncover a case of Ming Duxun Gui colluding with the enemy. This is a great achievement, right?
What? You're saying the evidence is for a criminal?
The criminal stubbornly resisted and attempted to lead the enemy's garrison to endanger the empire's border security. Is it not excessive to execute him immediately?
The authenticity of the whistleblower's materials needs to be investigated.
With the entire army reporting this, your Li family will be severely punished, if not wiped out.
You survived, but you've lost His Majesty's trust, haven't you?
I, Wen Ziyi, am merely a sharp blade in His Majesty's hand. Having already swallowed the poison, how could I possibly rebel?
Zhang San's military tactics are really useful.
With the dual effects of the "Guardian of the Nation" token and the opportunity to atone for one's crimes, the first whistleblower among Li Kang's generals quickly emerged.
Once there's a first, there will be a second, and they'll even rush to report it.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Ziyi had a mountain of information in his hands about the Li family's secret collusion with the Heavenly Soul Empire to resell rare metals and strategic materials in the country for excessive profits, and even to directly resell soul tools used by the military.
Feng Jinghuai casually picked up a few sheets, glanced at them, and immediately gasped. "Good heavens, they actually dared to disassemble a batch of military soul tools sent from Mingdu and sell them as spare parts? Why don't they just rob them?"
The military supplies provided by the empire are disassembled into various parts and sold, and even a core magic array is sold for 300,000 gold soul coins.
Is it because the materials are too expensive, or because the people of Tianhun are too stupid?
Are they rushing to deliver money?
Wen Ziyi glanced at him and said, "Based on this calculation, an eighth-level soul-guided sword can be sold for thirty times the profit, and that's pure profit. Aren't you tempted?"
Although Feng Jinghuai didn't have much of a concept of money, he was still taken aback by this number.
"Indeed, as Zhang Sanjun's military law says, when capitalists can obtain three times the profit, they dare to risk violating the law; when the profit reaches ten times, they dare to do crazy things that violate the country and any law, let alone thirty times the profit?"
"Mr. Zhang San, you are truly talented!"
