Me and countless me.

Chapter 619 Martial Arts Masters Have Limits

However, even though she had escaped the feeling that made her unable to think or resist, Li Mochou still couldn't help but ponder what Li Ke had said.

Those words about proving to the whole world that Lu Zhanyuan losing Li Mochou was not Li Mochou's loss, but Lu Zhanyuan's loss and a mistake.

Did Li Mochou love Lu Zhanyuan? Undoubtedly, she did. Did Li Mochou hate Lu Zhanyuan? Undoubtedly, she also hated him. Therefore, Li Mochou's feelings towards Lu Zhanyuan were very complex and multifaceted.

However, Li Ke didn't care about this or that, so at this moment, in Li Mochou's heart, Lu Zhanyuan's scent, Lu Zhanyuan's voice, and everything about Lu Zhanyuan were replaced by Li Ke.

At this moment, when Li Mochou thought of Lu Zhanyuan, all she could think of were the words Li Ke had said!
"On the day your life ends, will you proudly tell others that your life was not just about love?"

Touching her chest, Li Mochou was incredibly excited as she looked at the man who had sent several Mongol soldiers flying more than ten meters with a single shot. Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang behind her felt the same way.

Especially Lu Wushuang, although she would be willing to kill Li Mochou if she could, she felt that she could also accept Li Mochou if she could repent and reform.

Therefore, at this moment, Lu Wushuang stared intently at Li Mochou, waiting for her decision.

As for Hong Lingbo, that's much simpler.

"That man is so handsome. I wish I could talk to him more."

Hong Lingbo, being rather simple-minded, thinks in such a direct and straightforward way. She only wants to have more contact with Li Ke, without even knowing what she should do after having more contact with him.

However, Hong Lingbo is also the happiest one, unlike Lu Wushuang and Li Mochou, whose hearts are full of complicated emotions.

Finally, looking at the fleeing Mongols, Li Mochou sighed, walked over to Li Ke who was walking slowly towards her, and began to explain to her disciples behind her, as if explaining to herself.

"I can't beat him, nor can I argue with him. What else can I do besides serve him? After all, even if I mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, how could I possibly defeat someone like him? What can I do if someone asks him to seek revenge on me?"

Li Mochou convinced herself, and Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang exchanged a glance before following in Li Mochou's footsteps to Li Ke's side.

"If what you say is true, then I, Li Mochou, will submit to you forever without any problem. But the problem is that the Mongols are about to surround us. What do you plan to do? Can your internal energy still sustain such a drain on your strength?"

Seeing Li Ke, who wasn't even out of breath, Li Mochou couldn't help but praise Li Ke's internal strength in her heart again, but she still carefully asked the question aloud.

Li Ke nodded.

"Yes, that's fine. As for my plans, I intend to kill Muqali here, and then win over the Jurchens, the Song people, and those Mongols who are willing to submit to me."

For Li Ke, this was actually very easy, but for a normal martial arts practitioner like Li Mochou, it was already considered shocking.

"Even Wang Chongyang couldn't withstand the onslaught of a massive army. Although you are incredibly brave, you are still just a mortal..."

Li Mochou wanted to try to persuade him. Although she would be free if Li Ke died, she didn't want him to die like that.

After all, she wanted to prove everyone in the world wrong.

"It's okay, just watch my performance."

Li Ke waved his hand, and at that moment, Mu Huali received another report.

"Are you saying that the King was killed by that sorcerer in one round? And that the person who went with you was shot more than ten feet away by that person along with his horse with a single spear thrust? And that the reason why the patrol troops in the city suffered heavy casualties is because no one believed this news?"

Looking at the officer in front of him, Mu Huali felt like a donkey being played by his own men.

He knew how skilled the Golden Wheel Monk was in martial arts. Over the years, there had been many famous martial arts masters from the Central Plains and Tibet who had fought against the Monk. Those strongmen who could break stone tablets and shatter rocks had only one fate when they encountered the Monk: defeat.

As for the claim that a single shot sent a man and his horse flying more than ten feet away?

Although he hasn't fought many battles in the past few years since becoming a general, Mu Huali is still a veteran of many battles. In his youth, he killed enemy generals and was a martial arts master.

Back when he first started out, a big man shouted at him, "Little Hua, don't lose points!" He then charged up to the city wall in one go and killed the enemy's general. He was called a Baturu by two Khans, which means a brave warrior.

He knew all too well that such a thing was absolutely impossible. After all, even a martial arts master with great internal strength could only manage to attack with full force a dozen or so times on the battlefield if he couldn't maneuver and recover his energy. After that, he would run out of steam and be killed by the enemy's attacks.

Moreover, even a top expert like the Golden Wheel Monk would never be able to throw a heavily armored horse and man ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in one go!
And now, these people are telling themselves that there is a way to knock heavily armored cavalrymen and their horses ten feet away on the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Mu Huali couldn't help but laugh, even looking at the officer who was reporting to him with a smile.

"So, you've encountered Sun Wukong, right? And the gun he's holding is actually the Golden Cudgel, isn't it? After all, only Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel can do something like that, otherwise it just doesn't make sense."

As Mu Huali spoke, his expression gradually darkened, and a chilling killing intent filled his eyes.

"You people, you haven't even lived the Song people's lives for long, but you've already picked up a lot of their bad habits! Those Song people even said that I, Muqali, eat three or four children every day and can cut through a city wall with one stroke! Is that even true?! We Mongols are all about facts! If you can't beat someone, just say so. Don't try to be superstitious like the Song people. Do you think I'm one of those southern barbarians?! It was one thing for a few idiots to say those things before, but you've been following me for so long, and you've already become lax?! You're really disgracing me!"

He slammed his fist on his desk in anger, glaring menacingly at his subordinates. He now seriously suspected that morale among his men had crumbled and some were plotting something.

"I think it's not that there are any demons, but that you yourselves have become demons! Take them away and execute them! As a warning to others!"

The Mongol officer immediately realized something was wrong; Muqali had definitely misunderstood him. But just as he was about to say something to defend himself, Muqali suddenly waved his hand, and the guards on both sides rushed over and grabbed the officer's arms.

The officer wanted to call for help, but when he looked at his colleagues and brothers around him, he found that they were all looking at him like he was a fool. Even those who were related to him looked at him with incomprehension but also with a desire to understand.

He instantly realized that he had truly been misunderstood!
So he quickly shouted.

"General, you'll see for yourself! Everything I've said is true! I'm innocent! General! I'm innocent!"

However, before he could finish speaking, his childhood friend, seemingly dissatisfied with his cowardly appearance, shouted out loud.

"Little Duo, you've all been through thick and thin, so keep your spirits up and don't embarrass yourself!"

He was about to say that he hadn't lost face when someone suddenly slit his throat with a knife, and he could no longer make a normal sound.

Mu Huali watched the officer gradually die, his sharp eyes scanning his subordinates, trying to discern from their faces who was behind it all and what their purpose was. But all he saw were faces filled with suspicion, uncertainty, and even confusion; only the eyes of the fallen officer held a complex expression.

So after thinking it over, Mu Huali decided to go and see for himself.

Furthermore, I need to take these officers to see who is behind this and how they behave on the scene. This will help me see everything clearly.

So Mu Huali immediately gave the order: "Take a dozen or so men and come with me to the granary to see what kind of sorcerer he is!"

Muqali led his men on a frantic run, and after passing Li Ke's battlefield, he saw many Mongol soldiers lying on the ground, along with countless drops of blood.

Therefore, Mu Huali suddenly had an ominous premonition!

Especially after discovering that the battlefields of these tragically killed Mongol patrol soldiers were separated, and that the fleeing wave of soldiers had no time to exchange information with the next wave of rushing patrol soldiers, he felt an increasingly ominous feeling.

This means that the patrolling soldiers were engaged in battle without knowing the enemy's strength at all!

Upon seeing the cavalryman who had been directly beaten into the wall by Li Ke, Mu Huali couldn't help but pull on his horse's reins, because now he truly believed that there was a Sun Wukong in Dadu!
Before him stood a Mongol soldier in full armor, his entire body embedded in a low wall, the surrounding bricks and stones shattered into dust. This could not be explained by internal strength or the subordinates' ulterior motives, for the battle-hardened general could easily see that the man had been struck and driven into the stone wall!

He stared blankly at the stone wall and the Mongolian officer who died with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help but think of the subordinate he had just beheaded, a feeling of unease rising in his heart!

"Such divine power truly exists in this world..."

But immediately, Muqali, who should have died long ago in normal history but did not die in this world and was instead full of life, shouted it out.

"Send all the soldiers into the city and surround and kill that man! All officers of the rank of centurion and above, follow me to the city walls so I can give you command!"

If such a person truly existed, Muqali believed that with enough soldiers, he would be able to successfully kill him.

Moreover, no matter the cost, he had to kill this person, because this person posed a greater threat than the entire Southern Song court!
Once someone with such martial prowess leads several hundred elite cavalry, he simply cannot imagine what kind of military formation or city could possibly stop such a person!

He couldn't even imagine what kind of defense could protect his Khan and the leaders of every army!

This person must die!

But if this person doesn't actually exist, and someone is deceiving you in some way, then a large army can still crush all the problems!

but--

"Realizing it only now...isn't it a bit too late?"

Li Ke's figure landed on the high-rise building above Mu Huali's head along with his words. Mu Huali, who was planning to retreat with all the senior officers, immediately looked up in his direction. He had already seen Li Ke wearing armor that was almost identical to Emperor Warrior's armor, except for the helmet. The general closed his eyes in despair.

Because the worst-case scenario in his mind had occurred.

The gun in the opponent's hand was clearly made of solid iron, and his armor was no mere decoration; the thickest part was noticeably two centimeters thick. Yet, despite wearing this gear, he used his light-footed skills to fly to the top of a three-story building without collapsing the roof!
He remembered clearly that this wasn't magic or anything like that; when he arrived here before, there was no one upstairs! The other person had genuinely used their lightness skill to fly up!

This proves that the opponent's lightness skill has reached an unbelievable level. Ordinary soldiers simply cannot restrain the opponent, and at this point, it is too late to order an attack.

If the other party wanted to kill them, these people wouldn't have time to stop them!

Standing atop the high building, Li Ke looked at the panicked Mu Huali and spoke with a smile.

"Mu Huali, your judgment is excellent. This is indeed the only way to deal with someone like me. After all, everyone gets tired, and with enough sacrifice, even a top martial arts master can be killed. So the more I think and practice, the more I understand that martial arts masters have their limits..."

As he spoke, Li Ke leaped off the high building and landed in the Mongol army formation. He casually planted his spear in the ground and looked at his opponent.

"However... let's make a bet. If I can kill all your soldiers without weapons, you will pledge your allegiance to me. I don't care what you did before, and I'll treat you the same way you were with Genghis Khan."

Muqali, unlike other Mongol generals, deeply understood the meaning of subduing the enemy without fighting. He was a truly capable general who could participate in important national affairs. It can even be said that Genghis Khan's hegemony would have been impossible without Muqali.

In actual history, the other party changed the Mongol Yuan dynasty's war strategy of burning, killing, and looting, and instead used Han Chinese and Jin landlords' armed forces to govern the local area. Later, he was even granted the title of Grand Tutor King by Genghis Khan, and he conquered most of the Jin dynasty.

Therefore, Li Ke would be quite willing to subdue the opponent instead of killing them.

However, Mu Huali had only one attitude towards Li Ke.

"kill!"

He had no intention of betting with Li Ke, so he directly waved his arm and ordered the attack on Li Ke. The next moment, the strongest mortal army in the entire Jin Yong world charged towards Li Ke!

Li Ke stopped using the Overlord Spear technique and instead pulled down his mask, channeling all his power. He clenched one fist and made a palm with the other, wrapping them with freezing air and mist respectively. His leg even drew a semicircle on the ground, wrapping it with invisible wind!

The Threefold Return to Origin: The Great Limitless!

Instantly, the fastest Mongol knight felt everything around him slow down. He clearly saw the tip of his spear, which was about to pierce Li Ke's visor, covered with specks of frost, and he saw snowflakes begin to condense in the air.

Even his ability to think is slowly slowing down.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw the sky darken, and then—

A dragon's head emerged from the sky and charged down fiercely!

As the dragon's head landed, countless clouds and mist swept in, and the ice blades and mist swords, in a physical sense, rushed out in all directions with the raging wind! The cavalrymen closest to the dragon's head were even swept into the sky by a tornado! They let out terrified screams in the sky, and were then shredded into blood mist by the wind blades and frost swords carried by the tornado!
Then, the flesh and armor fragments of these people pierced through the soldiers in front of Mu Huali like bullets, but he didn't care, or even the small tornado summoned by Li Ke. He just looked at the dark clouds covering the entire capital and the snowflakes falling continuously, and his fingers began to tremble.

Because he knew he had to surrender.

Li Ke could kill ten thousand or a thousand men, it didn't matter. The Mongol warriors wouldn't be afraid. The tornado would only last for a while. They had ways to deal with it, whether by using a human wave or explosives.

But this ability to manipulate celestial phenomena and weather...

Muqali closed his eyes, erasing the faces of Genghis Khan and his entire family from his mind. But before opening his eyes again, he thought of his nine generations of relatives, so he hurriedly erased them from his mind as well, to avoid leaving any lingering affection in his eyes.

Then, he immediately dismounted and knelt down in front of Li Ke!

"I, Muqali, am willing to surrender!"

Are you kidding me? This isn't just about individual strength or martial arts masters anymore!

This is the true God descending to earth!
Who would be stupid enough to fight against gods?
