It didn't matter why Yatokus appeared here, or why he disguised himself and waited, Li Ke knew that it didn't matter anymore. If he killed Yatokus, he and the tens of thousands of people would be able to live. If he couldn't, then the worst possibility was that Yatokus would gain great power with the help of their flesh and blood, then run to Lisandra's place and unleash the monsters from the Void.
Then, either the Dragon King would come back in time to clean up the mess. Otherwise, the Runic Continent would be completely destroyed before the Dragon King arrived. Therefore, they were simply mortal enemies, and victory and defeat had to be decided with their lives.
Li Ke didn't say anything. He quickly stimulated his life force to stop the bleeding from his wounds, but he didn't completely heal his bones because he didn't have that kind of leisurely life force now. At the same time, he regretted wasting so much of his life force to forcefully ripen and control the potatoes to entangle Sejuani's warriors. Now, not only did he have to gamble with his life, but he also had to be careful of Yatokus targeting those idiots who were sealed in place by the potatoes.
Enduring the severe pain, he slashed his sword at Yatokus again, and a strong thunderbolt appeared in the sword's trajectory. He wanted to slash the demon in front of him to death like how he slashed the two giant beasts that day. But in the face of Li Ke's thunderbolt attack, Yatokus just calmly raised his huge sword and easily blocked the violent blow.
Li Ke immediately stabbed his staff at Yatokus's abdomen, while Yatokus grabbed the sharp crimson crystal of the staff and held on tightly to Li Ke's staff. He made it stop an inch in front of his abdomen.
Of course, Li Ke didn't return empty-handed this time, because Yatokus' palm that was holding the crimson crystal was constantly emitting steam and some dark red gas, and a burnt smell was spreading. This was because Orne's divine power had directly changed the attributes of the staff. The scorching and violent power was also reflected in the magic power crystal, constantly consuming the curse-like power of Yatokus.
The two of them were in a stalemate. Although Li Ke wanted to draw his sword and attack again, Yatoku's parry was exceptionally exquisite. This meant that as long as Li Ke dared to withdraw his power from his sword, Yatoku could cut his head in half within a second! This situation was very unfavorable for him, but there was nothing he could do. After just a few exchanges, he had to admit one thing.
Yatoku's martial arts and fighting skills were far beyond his current level! To be exact, if Yatoku had the same strength as him, he would have been defeated within ten moves! If it wasn't for the fact that his current output was higher than Yatokus', then he wouldn't have been able to resist it at all!
"You seem to be very anxious? Let me think. Is it because of the two women behind you, or do you know that I won't show mercy to anyone here? "
Yatokus didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. He wasn't even in a hurry to kill more mortals to strengthen his body so that it could exert more power. He just looked at Li Ke with a terrifying smile and slowly asked his question.
"Or … are you afraid?! You know what I'll do! "
Yatokus suddenly changed his move. While retracting his sword, he pressed Li Ke's sword under his own. Then he pressed down fiercely, causing Li Ke's sword full of Furybear's divine power to slash the ground. Thunder and lightning appeared out of nowhere! Dozens of thunderbolts appeared on the ground in an instant. Not only did they blow away and melt the remaining snow on the ground, but they also shattered the old stone bricks that were already somewhat broken. The thunderbolts burst together with the dazzling thunderbolts and rushed towards the warriors who had drawn their weapons and surrounded the two of them!
But fortunately, the thunderbolts dissipated before they hit their heads. Only some stones hit the warriors' faces. But this terrifying scene was enough to make them panic, so they immediately understood that this wasn't a battle they could participate in with their flesh and blood. They quickly retreated. But they didn't run away. Instead, they drew their bows and prepared to support Li Ke who was fighting the monster.
But this scene triggered another incident. Sejuani's backup didn't see what happened after the battle. Instead, she blew the horn and called for Sejuani's warriors to get into formation and put pressure on Aichy's tribe at any time. This action naturally caused the Eich Tribe to fall into a tense state. Under the command of Eich's deputy, a portion of the Eich Tribe's forces hurried over, while the other portion remained in a standoff with Sejuani's forces.
In an instant, the entire settlement was in chaos. Yatokus listened to the chaos and the familiar sounds of war. He knew that more than half of the situation he wanted had been achieved. As long as he solved his doubts, he could harvest and destroy. He looked at Li Ke who had drawn his sword and was looking at him cautiously, as though ready to chop off his arm at any moment. Yatokus spoke again.
"So, how did you know about me? Is it a book or a legend? You must know that in the eyes of mortals like you, I must be forgotten and buried … "
Yatokus's question made Li Ke think of the black gas he absorbed. Before he could attack again, the warriors who felt that they had found an opportunity shot their arrows at Yatokus who was separated from him. This was originally the right action, but when Li Ke saw the loosened bowstrings, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"No!"
Yatokus exclaimed, but it was too late. The storm of arrows was a sure death situation for any mortal creature, but for Yatokus, he only needed to flap his wings to return the arrows that couldn't even penetrate his skin!
An ominous gale swept out from his dark red wings. Not only did it blow away the arrows on his back, it also caused most of the arrows to change direction and follow the gale to attack the soldiers who shot the arrows. However, the first to arrive weren't the arrows. Instead, it was the fierce wind that made it hard for them to stand still. And then, as they were blown away by the fierce wind, the arrows that were sent flying back revealed their fangs and viciously pierced their original owners, causing a large number of these warriors belonging to Eich to fall down as if they were wheat being harvested.
"… Taboo."
At this time, Yatoku's words had just ended.
