Wuo Wenlong, trembling as if seeing a vengeful ghost in broad daylight, shouted: "Wuo Ke, y-you, there’s soone behind you!"
Wuo Ke was greatly alard and quickly turned to look.
Seeing is believing, and this sight indeed shocked him to the core.
He saw a graceful young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, who had sohow appeared right behind him.
"Who-who-who are you?" Wuo Wenlong steadied his nerves and bravely asked.
The visitor was none other than Li Chen!
He flashed a smile, showing two neat rows of teeth, at Wuo Wenlong.
"General Wuo, don’t you even recognize now?"
Wuo Ke felt puzzled and instinctively glanced at Wuo Wenlong, signaling with his eyes to ask who this man in front of them was, and how he could have appeared so stealthily.
Wuo Wenlong stared at Li Chen for quite a while, suddenly realizing sothing, he widened his eyes in disbelief.
"You-you-you are Li Chen?"
Hearing Wuo Wenlong’s exclamation, Wuo Ke still couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Li Chen, why does this na sound so familiar?
Suddenly, he seed to realize sothing too, crying out in shock: "Are you Li Chen, the new King of the Hann Dynasty?"
Li Chen smiled at the two of them, looking harmless and innocent.
Wuo Wenlong and Wuo Ke, seeing Li Chen’s smile, forced a smile back.
But their smiles were stiff and awkward.
Initially, Wuo Wenlong assud that Zhenn Pass had been captured by the Hann army.
However, upon realizing that Li Chen was alone, he dismissed this notion.
It seed Li Chen had co alone.
With this thought, he cald slightly and shouted aloud to Li Chen.
"Li Chen, it seems you are walking into hell willingly. Our General had been worried about not finding a chance to catch you, and here you are delivering yourself!"
As he spoke, Wuo Wenlong suddenly drew the scimitar from his waist, slicing through the air like a teor chasing the moon, aiming at Li Chen.
Li Chen neither dodged nor flinched, allowing Wuo Wenlong to swing his blade.
However, as Wuo Wenlong’s sword shadow was about to strike Li Chen.
A mysterious phenonon occurred.
Li Chen disappeared into thin air.
Wuo Wenlong struck nothing but air, feeling helpless like an ox chasing a rabbit.
While he was anxious and looking around for Li Chen’s figure, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
He turned abruptly, only to see Li Chen standing there smiling at him.
What terrified him most was that Wuo Ke had sohow turned into a corpse, eyes wide open, lying silently in a pool of blood.
From his eyes bursting with anger, it was clear he died restless!
Seeing Li Chen able to assassinate Wuo Ke, who was already at late-stage Divinity Transformation, right under his nose.
Rembering the words of the new King Wu Changwen, Li Chen single-handedly killed National Master Zhuge Hu and King Wu Badao.
Wuo Wenlong was filled with despair!
An unprecedented feeling of helplessness surged in his heart.
He knew, relying on his strength alone, he was no match for Li Chen.
He decided to flee.
This was Zhenn Pass, his territory, with a million troops outside.
If he could escape, he might save his life.
Thinking of this, Wuo Wenlong made up his mind without hesitation.
Escape!
Unfortunately, Li Chen gave him no chance to flee.
"Swish!"
A dazzling sword shadow pierced through the void, extending toward Wuo Wenlong.
Wuo Wenlong couldn’t dodge, and was instantly pierced by the unparalleled sword shadow, leaving a shocking bloody hole in his chest.
He looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, opened his mouth to say sothing.
But not a word ca out, instead he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
Li Chen took Wuo Wenlong’s head, his figure turned into a stream of light, vanishing without a trace.
Suddenly!
A breeze blew through, rustling through the room.
Everything was so silent, it was as if nothing had happened.
Li Chen returned to camp just as the dawn broke in the east.
He did not rest, instead he issued an order, beating the drums to gather the generals.
Seeing Li Chen gather the generals early in the morning made the officers worry there was sothing wrong, rushing over without even putting on their armor.
Inside the tent, Li Chen sat alone, leisurely drinking.
Wang Chao, seeing there was no sign of urgency, relaxed his tense heart a little.
He steadied his nerves and stepped forward, bowing to Li Chen in salute.
"Greetings King, may I ask why you’ve summoned us so early?"
Li Chen sipped his drink and replied leisurely: "Pass the order, full army attack. Take Zhenn Pass by sunset today!"
On hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone was taken aback.
Zhenn Pass was the gateway to the Southwest Six Counties with steep terrain, easy to defend and hard to attack, a strategic pass of the Great Wu Dynasty’s southwestern border.
Additionally, it housed a million soldiers. Its commander Wuo Wenlong was also a renowned veteran general of the Great Wu Dynasty.
Not to ntion one day, even ten days wouldn’t be enough to ensure its capture.
After a while, Helian Ba, representing the military officers, ca forward with a troubled expression, saying: "King, Zhenn Pass is easy to defend and hard to attack. If we forcibly assault the city, we might suffer heavy losses. I urge the King to reconsider!"
Li Chen smiled without speaking.
Seeing Li Chen’s smile, even the battle-hardened Helian Ba couldn’t help but change color, daring not to say another word.
Li Chen, renowned for single-handedly slaying the Great Wu Dynasty’s forr King Wu Badao and National Master Zhuge Hu.
With his seemingly smiling expression, all were instantly subdued into silence, fearful.
For a mont, the tent was eerily quiet.
After a long silence, Wang Chao finally spoke: "Does the King have a plan to break the city?"
Li Chen smiled faintly and replied: "Certainly!"
Hearing Li Chen had a plan, everyone was astonished.
Imdiately, they perked up their ears to listen, eager to hear Li Chen’s strategy to capture the heavily guarded pass in one day.
Li Chen didn’t answer, instead like a magician, he tossed out two blood-stained bundles.
Everyone was greatly astonished at this sight.
Li Chen clapped his hands, saying: "Open them up, this is my plan to break the city!"
Upon hearing these words, the crowd approached cautiously.
When they unwrapped the packages, each was stunned speechless.
After a long silence, soone gasped in disbelief.
"Is this Wu Changwen and Wuo Wenlong’s heads?"
