Chapter 1523: Chapter 1178 Trouble Comes Knocking_2
But clearly, he chose the wrong person as he was about to face the fate of being thrown onto the rooftop.
However, Long Yi stopped.
Because his path was blocked by six men.
"Let’s make a deal, put him down, and I’ll let both of you leave alive. How about that?" said the leader of the warriors.
Long Yi smiled as he tossed the attendant over.
"Not bad, quite obedient."
The leading warrior thought Long Yi had given in and laughed.
But Long Yi clanged his Alloy Greatsword into the lawn and beckoned the men in front of him, "Come on, let’s talk, all six of you at once. My time is very valuable, I don’t have time to play house with you here."
The leading warrior hesitated, then handed the unconscious attendant to a warrior behind him and conjured up an energy sword.
"Did not see that coming; you do have some backbone," the warrior remarked.
"Don’t talk nonsense; come on, all together," Long Yi, gripping the Greatsword in his hand, taunted the opposition.
"How about not fighting here? Look at the beautiful green grass and trees around. Wouldn’t it be a pity to destroy them?" the warrior suggested.
Boom!
Long Yi’s Greatsword swept across, shredding patches of the lawn and cutting a scenic tree in half at its trunk.
"Yes, truly a pity," Long Yi said.
In the pod, the six warriors on the opposite side couldn’t help but gasp. This park was one of the Emperor’s favorite scenery spots, frequented occasionally by members of the royal family. That was why it was so upscale and expensive. And now, he had destroyed swathes of lawn and even a scenic tree just like that?
"I suggest you stop me quickly, or in a few minutes, there might be nothing left here," Long Yi said with a smile, carrying his Alloy Greatsword.
"Damn it!"
Six men immediately surrounded Long Yi. As for Elsa, she just sat on the ground, showing no intention of standing up.
"Can you handle this yourself?" Elsa asked.
"Don’t worry; just a few troublemakers, I could play with a hundred of them!" Long Yi boasted.
"Really?" The leading warrior sneered, and his energy sword suddenly vanished, then everyone pulled out a metal greatsword from their private space. Right away, every person’s armor and the greatsword in their hands emitted a strange glow.
"Overload alloy?"
"Haha, yes, Overlook alloy! No one to disturb us this time, we brothers will get to see your full potential!"
Without further ado, the six charged at him. The repelling force emitting from the greatswords also made Long Yi feel a bit uneasy. After all, he had never fought such an awkward group of opponents before, so initially, he seemed a bit disadvantaged.
Seeing that someone called Henki seemed incapable of handling them, confidence quickly filled the attackers’ hearts. They had witnessed the fight between Long Yi and Libi and knew Long Yi’s strength. As they were Libi’s colleagues and members of the Imperial Guard closest to the Emperor, they were among the first to upgrade to the Overload Crystal Poison technology. Due to the new technology, they could almost be described as unrivaled among all warriors as no one could match them. And just a few days ago, their strongest leader, Libi, had been directly slapped away by Long Yi! This left them with an unresolved resentment as they believed Long Yi relied more on tricks than genuine skill. Therefore, when the Emperor found them and asked them to follow this guy named Henki to test his strength again, they gladly agreed.
And now, it looked like they were going to win.
"You don’t think you can win like this, do you?" Long Yi suddenly spoke.
"What, you think you can still do something amidst this fierce attack?" a warrior laughed loudly.
"Um, it seems you can’t imagine what I can do, which shows how mediocre your strength really is," Long Yi said.
"Hahaha! There’s no need for empty bravado," the leading warrior laughed, "If you really can do anything, then give it a try! You can continue using that Giant Sword if you like!"
"No, you’re thinking too much. I don’t need it to deal with you rookies; I just wanted to tell you. Although your armor and weapons compensate for your weak abilities, this does not mean you have the upper hand. On the contrary, your coordination is too full of flaws!"
Clang!
Two metal greatswords clashed, the strong repelling force knocked both greatswords apart, and Long Yi leveraged the force to strike at another enemy, who also lifted his greatsword to block. The flash of light, accompanied by the force, knocked Long Yi’s greatsword away again. But this time, the force was even stronger! So Long Yi constantly blocked under the siege of six people relying on the repelling force.
However, a perfect plan doesn’t guarantee a perfect outcome. After all, there were six of them, and Long Yi exposed a gap after one swing!
An opportunity!
A warrior’s Overload Greatsword lost its light and chopped directly at Long Yi’s waist! But only a crisp crack was heard—the warrior’s Overload Greatsword was cut in half!
The warriors attacking Long Yi were all stunned.
"Hehe, just as I thought. If you keep the repelling force on your greatswords, how could you hurt me? So I figured you would turn off the Crystal Poison Overload at some moment, like when you thought you could harm me. It turns out I guessed right; I just gave you a minor flaw, and you immediately fell for it. You really are naive."
This mockery made the warrior’s face burn; it was basically a major misjudgment.
"Not bad, cunning enough, but what of it? What can you possibly do to us?" The leading warrior was annoyed by his subordinate’s recklessness, but he didn’t think this could change the current situation. Or rather, he believed that no one could change the current state of affairs.
"Right now, I can’t do much to you, but I have seen how you turned off the Overload Crystal Poison, so I should be able to find some specific methods against your Overload Crystal Poison. Although not right now, once I return to my planet, I will conduct research specifically in this direction. In no time, your Overload Crystal Poison will be ineffective against us."
Long Yi’s words truly frightened every warrior present. They had only come to test Henki’s strength on the Emperor’s orders. But if they couldn’t test the strength and instead revealed a secret, wouldn’t they become criminals of the Empire?
"Big talk! Just a glance and you find a solution!? Who do you think you are, a Giant?" The leading warrior roared.
"..." Long Yi really wanted to say: Yes, I am.
But he wasn’t crazy, so naturally, he couldn’t say that.
"Don’t listen to his nonsense; let’s all go together. I want to see how long his armor can hold! Even if we can’t hurt him, once he runs out of all energy, won’t he still be at our mercy?" Knowing he needed to stabilize the morale, the leading warrior immediately ordered all warriors to rally and insisted they must take down Henki here.
Actually, if it were Long Yi, he did have numerous ways to win. But he couldn’t win because he needed to let the Silver Emperor and others believe that Overload Crystal Poison was an excellent technology to help Belle control the entire Empire.
So, fighting to a draw was just fine.
At first, Long Yi thought these were different people, but as soon as the Overload Crystal Poison technology appeared, he knew this was not a game he could win. Since he couldn’t win, he might as well stall for time. Anyway, by the time they nearly demolished the park, someone was bound to stop them.
Meanwhile, the other warriors were also secretly anxious, for who could have expected Henki to be this tricky? And he didn’t just stay in one spot; even though it was only him, he managed to keep the six warriors continuously chasing him, changing their positions in battle. And wherever they went, the explosions were enough to destroy nearby vegetation.
This bastard! Even if we win this battle, the Emperor’s wrath might still be hard to calm! Not to mention we can’t really win!
Finally, two loud shouts came simultaneously.
"Stop!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
