There are many reasons. First, his cultivation is not very high and he cannot control two people at the same time. Second, Ji Zhao is a bastard and Ji Bei may not feel sad if he dies.

Therefore, he acted without hesitation and went straight to take Ji Zhao's life!

This time it's a sure win.

After all, Han Jie's cultivation level is higher than Ji Zhao's, his practical experience is richer, and it was a sneak attack, so how could he not kill Ji Zhao instantly?

......If the person on the other side is really still that Ji Zhao.

"It's convenient to deliver it to your door."

Amid the whistling wind, Han Jie seemed to hear faintly a low murmur, but he saw that Ji Zhao did not even turn his body, but only slightly shifted half a step. However, it was this half step that made Han Jie's stab miss.

puff!

Unable to stop himself, Han Jie thrust the dagger into the gate of Ji's family. He subconsciously wanted to pull out the dagger and chase Ji Zhao, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Ji Zhao's indifferent eyes, looking down at him, like an emperor looking down at a death row prisoner on the execution ground.

thump.

A dull sound was heard, which was the sound of the sleeve hammer falling to the ground. At some point, Ji Zhao threw away the sleeve hammer in his right hand, and instead held a dagger in his hand.

Wow————

The clear moonlight shone down, gently caressing the blade of the dagger, and a faint silver light passed across Han Jie's throat.

Puff————!

Han Jie's throat was cut, and blood gushed out like a fountain in an instant!

"Wh...what's that sound?!"

Ji Tan inside seemed to hear the sound of the dagger being inserted into the door and the sound of the sleeve hammer falling to the ground, and seemed a little flustered.

"nothing."

Ji Zhao looked calm. He grabbed Han Jie's hair with his backhand and, in the face of the other's panicked and confused eyes, exerted a little force and twisted his head.

"It's just that a mouse ran by and scared me."

Volume 2: A Way Out for a Poor Life: Chapter 24 opens the curtain!

At the south city gate, the Black Knights stopped after getting to a certain distance, just out of the archers' range.

————In fact, if it were the regular army’s archers, this distance would be enough for the opponent’s arrows to pierce the hedgehog, but... let’s not talk about it.

If the army does not advance and just stops here, how can it attack the city?

The answer is simple...

call out!

Liu Wei, holding a whip and mace, took the lead, like a black lightning that streaked across the battlefield. In an instant, he arrived in front of the South City Gate. He exerted force with his feet, and his internal energy surged. In an instant, he ran up the city wall!

Why would Liu Wei lead such a tragically weak army to attack Anchun County?

Firstly, the most important reason was that Duke Shengwu Tang Cheng personally led his troops to deal with the army sent by the imperial court to suppress the rebels, and took away all the elite troops and equipment of the Black Cavalry.

Secondly, there were not many soldiers in Anchun County, and Liu Wei himself thought that too many people were not needed.

Thirdly, it is Liu Wei’s self-confidence, or perhaps it is the ultimate dominance that a high-level warrior can exert when attacking a city.

If it were on a plain, with tens of thousands of armies colliding, a warrior thrown in might be able to perform special tasks such as beheading generals, seizing flags, and breaking through the enemy lines, but in most cases, he would be swallowed up by the human wave tactics due to lack of internal energy and physical strength.

But when attacking a city, due to the limited space available on the city walls, high-level warriors can easily achieve the unparalleled condition of 'one man guarding the pass against ten thousand'... Liu Wei, the Whip-Mace Ghost, happens to be an expert in this field.

"Get out!"

Ji Beili shouted and rushed forward with a long sword in hand. Fighting against her were the owner of Wu'an Hall, Lu Yushi, and a warrior from the Liu family. These three people plus Han Shou were almost the highest fighting force in Anchunli. The last time the four of them joined forces, they managed to suppress Liu Wei for a while.

However, this time Liu Wei had no intention of fighting with the three men. He glanced at everyone coldly, and his internal energy exploded to accelerate a sprint, knocking away the old and frail Lu Yu Shi, and ran straight towards the Anchun guards behind the three men!

An Chun had discussed this situation before, but the explosive power and speed displayed by Liu Wei at this moment exceeded everyone's expectations. The archer raised his hand hastily, but the arrow he shot couldn't even touch the corner of Liu Wei's clothes. By the time he put the second arrow on, Liu Wei had already rushed into the crowd, and the archer could no longer shoot.

Ji Bei and the other two dispersed their formation and tried to trap Liu Wei.

It has to be said that Ji Bei was born in a famous sect after all. He was taught a lot of experience in fighting enemies by his senior masters. He was able to deal with various extreme situations and knew how to deal with enemies stronger than himself. Although he was not yet proficient in cooperation with the other two, he still restricted Liu Wei's killing through a special formation.

To be more precise, it was through coordinated positional pressure that Liu Wei was unable to concentrate his internal energy to attack the defenders on the city wall...but that was all. In order to catch up with Liu Wei, they were also unable to organize an effective offensive.

But who is Liu Wei? He is strong and healthy. Even though he is not wearing armor, his physique is there. When he sprinted at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, the defenders on the city wall were completely scared and dared not stop this devil.

What's worse, some were so frightened that they stood there in a daze, not daring to move, and were hit head-on by Liu Wei. They fell off the city wall, hit their heads on the ground, and stopped breathing instantly.

The Black Knights outside the city then pressed forward and began to attack the city by stepping on his corpse. The first ones to go up were still those who had a basic knowledge of light skills and could go up by themselves without the help of equipment, or they could cooperate with others to go up. After these people climbed up the city wall, they hung ladders and guarded the ladders. This was the general process of the Black Knights' siege... Due to the lack of siege equipment, warriors were needed to climb up the city wall to ensure the entry of subsequent large troops. It can only be said that beggars have their own way of playing, and the two sides are indeed evenly matched opponents.

As the heaviest chip on the field, Liu Wei can easily tear apart Anchun City's defense and tip the balance of victory.

In just a few dozen breaths, the defenders on the city wall were scattered by Liu Wei.

In fact, under the suppression of Ji Bei and the other two, Liu Wei did not have many opportunities to attack. The defenders actually had a chance to calm down and suppress the Black Knights... But in reality, very few people dared to move and organize an effective response. They were all scared by Liu Wei.

Ji Bei was extremely anxious, but her face still had that cold and resolute expression. If she was afraid at this moment, An Chun would be really finished.

call out!

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and an arrow flew past. Although it did not hit Liu Wei, it forced him to stop. Liu Wei looked up and saw... it was Han Shou who had hurriedly arrived using Qinggong.

"The famous Whip-Mace Ghost, the Six Cavalrymen under the command of the Holy Martial Lord, is now being chased everywhere. This is really an eye-opener for a third-rate warrior from a remote countryside like me." Han Shou stopped in front of Liu Wei with a smile on his face, "What do you think, Commander Liu?"

"A third-rate provocateur."

Liu Wei had an expressionless face as he made a brief comment on Han Shou's words. He turned around slightly and looked at the black cavalry thieves on the city wall... They had barely gained a foothold, and now if they went back to charge, it would surely have some effect. However, Liu Wei thought it was unnecessary. He was not a babysitter for his subordinates, and there was no need to chew the meat into pieces and feed it to these people.

"...But I am a little angry." Liu Wei turned his head back, his voice low and hoarse, "After so many years, you still can't change this bad habit...Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Since ancient times, the simpler the strategies, the more effective they are. Those with complicated processes and numerous steps often lead to further mistakes. It is like thousands of years have passed, and the most commonly used strategies in martial arts battles that do not require any preparation and can be effective immediately are still garbage.

The four of them immediately formed a formation and surrounded Liu Wei in the middle... Liu Wei looked calm and did not try to stop them, showing the qualities of a villain who would "wait for the other party to transform" before taking action.

To others, this seemed to have gone beyond the scope of self-confidence and seemed a bit arrogant. Little did they know that Liu Wei had been in the martial arts world for more than 30 years and had a sharp eye. He could tell at a glance that these four people had hastily set up the formation and had only practiced for a few days. Their coordination was bound to be inadequate, and the weapons they used were not optimally configured. One of the five elements was even missing... This formation could only be said to be better than nothing. Therefore, Liu Wei did not act in a hurry to avoid exposing any flaws that should not have existed.

After these people formed a formation, Liu Wei calmly exerted force to grasp the whip mace, and his heavy internal energy began to surge.

After a moment of stagnation, Ji Bei took the first step. His internal energy surged, and a hot torrent rushed in this late autumn night. A long sword seemed to be drawn from magma, and it slashed towards Liu Wei with terrifying high temperature!

Volume 2: Fighting for a Way Out: Chapter 25: He didn't run away, but walked towards me?!

Zheng!

The long sword and the hard whip collided, and the sound of fierce metal clashing was heard.

Sharp weapon versus blunt weapon, woman versus man, low cultivation versus high cultivation, no matter from which angle you look at it, Ji Bei's knife would make the weapon fly out of her hand, but her internal energy is more than one level higher than Liu Wei's, whether it is the power of internal energy or the explosive force, she can crush him. Although the amount of internal energy of both sides is very different, to talk about the outcome...

Zheng!

Under the violent release of his internal energy, Ji Bei's long sword couldn't even hold up the first blow, and a huge gap was directly broken out. However, Liu Wei was not feeling well either. His knuckles were numbed by the shock, and he was struck by an extraordinary piercing pain and numbness. Although he relied on years of experience to not let the weapon slip out of his hand, he found out from the corner of his eye that his right hand holding the whip was already a bloody mess!

This is totally not the impact effect that a sharp object can cause!

This is the advantage of being born in a famous sect. Ji Bei has mastered all kinds of strange martial arts and can deal with various situations. For example, this move is called "Beng Long Duan", which is performed with a sharp weapon, but can produce the effect of a striking weapon.

This sounds useless. If you want the effect of a blunt weapon, why not just use a blunt weapon? But in reality, this is not the case. The situation in a battle is ever-changing. Sometimes, when a warrior is fighting, he may shout out the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms but actually use the Cutting Off Offspring Kick to achieve a miraculous effect. What's more, using a sharp weapon to achieve the effect of a blunt weapon is like someone stabbing you with a red tasseled spear from twenty meters away. Just when you are bewildered, the spear head suddenly breaks off, revealing the pitch-black barrel inside...

That's pretty much the effect.

Ji Bei's attack was effective, and the other three immediately followed up to attack. Their cooperation was not tacit, but they had the advantage of numbers. Liu Wei's right hand could not exert any strength for a while, and he could only use the heavy mace in his left hand to deal with the four people. For a while, he was beaten back step by step. He could only frequently burst out his internal energy to strengthen his body functions to deal with the offensive of the four people. In just a few breaths, he had consumed several percent of his internal energy, and was hit by a palm and a punch on the chest and back, and Ji Bei even cut a bloody wound on his waist and abdomen.

"The boss?!"

The short and stocky man on the city wall was immediately anxious when he saw this scene, and he shouted, "Boss! I'm here to help you!"

After he finished speaking, he immediately turned over and jumped off the city wall with great force, and rolled on the ground to dissipate a lot of the force, but because his internal energy and lightness skills were not well cultivated, his feet were still inevitably numb. Facing the two Anchun defenders who were rushing towards him, it was difficult for him to organize an effective resistance for a while, but he suddenly had an idea and forced himself to raise his internal energy to roar like a lion. The two defenders were usually law-abiding farmers, and they were pulled in to be the defenders because they were tall. How could they not be stunned by the roar of this fierce man who had fought in the green forest?

Even though they were stunned for only a brief moment, this moment was enough for the man to adjust his state. He gathered his internal energy and chopped with his sword, killing one person and scaring away another in an instant.

This is the most difficult situation to avoid for an ordinary army when facing warriors...fear.

In the early years, the people of Yan Dynasty lived a prosperous life, lacking only a little spiritual entertainment. Some of the rich engaged in cockfighting and insect fighting, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, while the poor could only find a cheap tavern to discuss the fighting power of legendary warriors from ancient and modern times, which is the so-called electronic cricket fighting.

However, most of those legendary warriors were not from the same era, and even if they were in the same era, there were not many battle records between them, so it was difficult to directly compare their strength. So the idle people found an intermediate reference - the army.

So there were titles like 100-man enemy, 1,000-man enemy, 10,000-man enemy, etc. - those who had nothing to do after eating their fill even subdivided them into 200-man enemy, 3,000-man enemy, and half a step to the peak of 10,000-man enemy...

In fact, everyone understands that it is impossible for one person to defeat so many people. Even if there are ten thousand pigs in front of you, you can't kill them all. What really makes an army collapse is the fear brought by the warriors.

If you touch them, you will be injured. If you touch them, you will die. If you stab them with a spear, they will be unharmed. But if you slap them with your backhand, they will explode with both the person and the armor, and their internal organs and intestines mixed with feces and urine will be scattered all over the sky... Who wouldn't be afraid?

Moreover, this world has the setting of "Martial Power". When a person is frightened, a special hormone will be secreted in the body, which will greatly reduce the body's functions, further enhancing the lethality of the warriors to the army.

Back then, Duke Wu'an Wei Huo was so brave. Legend has it that when he stepped onto the battlefield, even the military supervisor in charge of supervising the battle ran away from the enemy!

If the front line of an army is frightened and runs back, no matter how many people are behind them, it will be useless.

Although this short and stocky man was only a third-rate warrior, his fight with the two Anchun defenders was actually a microcosm of the battle between warriors and the army in this great era.

"Boss!"

The man slowed down and rushed towards Liu Wei without paying any attention to the situation around him.

Whoosh!

An arrow suddenly flew past. The archer had great archery skills and perfectly predicted the man's trajectory.

Puff!

As expected, the arrow pierced the man's waist and abdomen, causing him to cry out in pain. He looked at the archer with his scarlet eyes... He was a young man with a bandage on his head, thin and frail, holding a large bow, with two sleeve hammers under his feet, looking weird no matter how you looked at him.

"I'll fuck your mother!" The man was furious and pulled out the arrow that had shot into his body.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing cannot be pulled out casually after entering the body, after all, it serves as a filler. Pulling it out casually may cause heavy bleeding. However, the man has practiced body-building techniques for a period of time, and the boy is not very strong, so he did not pull the bow to the limit. In addition, he was far away, so the arrow did not cause much substantial damage, and the man instantly saw that the boy's physical fitness and internal strength were completely shit.⑧

————Otherwise he would be seriously injured if not killed.

If it were any other time, the man would have to kill this man, but now he was concerned about Liu Wei, so he could only swallow his anger, cursed as a way of venting, and then continued his previous charge.

But the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. He wanted to let the boy go, but the boy did not have the consciousness to escape. He turned around and threw away the bow in his hand, picked up the two sleeve hammers on the ground and walked towards him.

The man's eyesight was not that sharp, but the arrow he shot just now had allowed him to see through the young man's cultivation. Now that he took the initiative to come forward, he was almost laughing with anger. If I don't want to kill you, I'm too lazy to take a detour, and you actually dared to come over on your own initiative...

Give you face? ! 0

The man was furious, and he sprinted forward with the knife in his backhand, wanting to kill the boy directly. But as soon as he took a step and met the boy's eyes, it was like jumping into a thousand-year-old cold spring in the middle of winter... From head to toe, he felt icy cold, as if his body didn't belong to him anymore.

Volume 2: A Way Out for a Poor Life: Chapter 26: Prey

His whole body was cold and he could hardly move... How could he describe this feeling? It was as if he was immersed in water, his chest was compressed and he couldn't take in any air no matter how hard he tried. A huge fear dominated his whole body. Although the man didn't know where the fear came from, at this moment, he had the feeling that he was a prey, the safest prey on the other party's menu, and it could be easily captured without any effort.

【“What… is going on?”】

The man's pace unconsciously slowed down, his legs began to tremble, he could not use any strength in his whole body, even the flow of his internal energy became sluggish.

This inexplicable, unfounded fear almost completely dominated his body, and even such a thought inexplicably popped up in his brain.

[“How many people like me has he killed?”]

Why would you have such thoughts when facing a young boy with unsteady steps, weak physique, and even no beard yet?

[“Soul-stealing martial arts… I’ve been hit by a soul-stealing martial arts technique! Someone is plotting against me!”]

The man suddenly reacted and made a judgment in his mind.

Soul-stealing martial arts, as the name suggests, is a kind of martial arts that affects other people's minds through internal energy.

This martial art is extremely difficult to perform, requiring excellent control and precision, and also requires high internal strength. As far as common sense is concerned, on a battlefield of this level in Anchun County, only Liu Wei is qualified to use a soul-stealing martial art. How could someone use a soul-stealing martial art to deal with a small minion?

But the man was destined to not be able to think of the unreasonableness of this. When a person is about to drown, he will try to grab anything, no matter whether it can bear his weight. The man is like this and has no time to think about whether his guess is reasonable or not.

He didn't care about the young man walking towards him with the sleeve hammer in his hand, and looked around like a frightened bird.

【“Who?! Who plotted against me?!”】

It is obviously impossible to find a non-existent person. The man could only suppress this inexplicable fear and plan to deal with the enemy in front of him first... As a man who has been fighting in the green forest for a long time, no matter how much he despises the enemy, he will not be careless when actually fighting the enemy. Otherwise, he would not be alive until now.

tread!

The man suddenly charged forward, slashing the young man holding the sleeve hammer with the machete in his hand. This time he only used 70% of his strength, leaving enough power for subsequent changes of moves... Liu Wei had been very kind to him, and he was extremely anxious at this moment. Even so, he did not lose his composure. It could only be said that he was a practical man after all.

Unfortunately, the person he met was Ji Zhao.

A monster that was set up as 'having the strongest fighting talent in the universe' and materialized by the 'Mirror', a Shura demon born to seize all victories in the world. His keen sense of smell in battle is completely unimaginable to ordinary people. Every battle of his is like a rehearsal thousands of times, and the enemies follow a fixed process and line up to deliver the best death.

This battle is no exception.

When he was still some distance away from the man, Ji Zhao stopped abruptly. The distance was quite delicate, giving the man a feeling that he could hit him but couldn't. Because he reserved 30% of his strength, there was enough room for changes of tactics later. The man increased his strength, took another step forward, and chopped him down with his sword. Unexpectedly, Ji Zhao took a step back exactly as if he had discussed it with him, and at the same time raised the sleeve hammer in his left hand. The two actions were performed together, naturally and smoothly.

This knife only cut the corner of Ji Zhao's clothes.

The man was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Ji Zhao to be able to dodge, but he also had a backup plan. He immediately raised his internal energy and wanted to change his moves quickly. However, Ji Zhao's sleeve hammer in his left hand suddenly smashed down and landed on the back of the Pudao!
