"So many people still died … …"
Looking at the panicked faces of the soldiers, Li Ke took a few deep breaths to calm his nervous mood and his rapidly beating heart. His breath formed a white mist in the cold air, which quickly dissipated in the cold wind. His mind began to concentrate infinitely.
As he concentrated, this preparation to deal with Yatoku triggered a power he had shown before. He felt that the speed of the snowflakes and the wind had slowed down, and his perception had become dull and sharp. The pain in his ribs disappeared at this moment, but he could clearly feel how the snowflakes fell on his skin and how quickly they melted. A red light began to appear on his body. Although it was almost invisible under the power of the two gods, it was indeed the light of life that belonged to him.
Yatoku saw his abnormality, but he didn't care at all. In his long life, he had seen similar situations more than once. There were countless people who wanted to kill him for revenge, crusade for justice, and challenge him for glory, but in the end … …
They were all dead.
"Oh? Are you angry? Are you angry because I killed them? Ah, I'm sorry. After all, no one cares about what ants think when they walk. Just like how you've grown so big … … "
Yatoku said slowly. Every time he appeared, he would try his best to say a few more words to people who could exchange a few blows with him. After all, although he didn't want to admit it, it was because of that long loneliness that he completely lost a person, a symbol of a god, and became what he was now. But this time, before he could finish speaking, a fierce attack arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. He hurriedly raised his sword to block Li Ke's sudden attack.
"… … Do you remember how many breaths you took?"
Flashing lightning flashed on Yatoku's sword, but compared to the previous violent appearance, the lightning this time was not too big. But it was precisely because of this that Yatoku's interest was piqued.
After Li Ke missed his attack, he felt a momentary fluctuation in his ability to slow down time. It was obvious that his fluctuating spirit had affected the performance of this ability, and his physical strength had begun to deplete. So he didn't dare to let Yatoku fight back. Instead, he quickly stabbed the tip of his staff towards Yatoku's chest, intending to pierce his lungs and trachea.
If he had any.
"Let me guess, have you exhausted your power, or are you better at using it?"
Yatoku had to block again and give up the opportunity to pursue Li Ke. Li Ke also took two steps back, then after taking a deep breath, he launched another charge. Then, relying on his powerful reflexes in this state, he danced under the Sword Demon's blade and continuously launched fierce and violent attacks.
The sword and staff carried the power of Orne and Furybear respectively, and Li Ke, who was highly focused, found a better way to use it. That was to restrain the divine power and only release it when attacking, instead of using it recklessly like the original owner of the power. This was also the reason for the strange phenomenon before. Li Ke showed far more control than usual in this wonderful state, helping him to control these two powers to a certain extent. But if he dared to do this during normal times, the price would be that his hair would be burned out by the uncontrollable divine power.
But even so, it was not easy for him. Even if his speed had increased by nearly 30%, he didn't even dare to breathe when he crossed paths with Yatoku's figure. Every ounce of energy was focused on Yatoku's footsteps and the movements of his shoulders. He didn't want his chest to be pierced by Yatoku's greatsword and be robbed of his power if he wasn't careful.
In the eyes of the bystanders, the battle between the two of them was a scene of thunder, flames, and crimson light intertwining. There was simply no room for the others to intervene. The only two warriors who could help at the scene were now like them, unleashing their true flames of anger.
"Sejuani! I haven't forgotten our friendship, but that doesn't mean that I have no bottom line! "
Aichy fired dozens of ice arrows at Sejuani while roaring at her best friend.
Sejuani didn't show any signs of weakness. She waved her flail and scattered the ice swords launched by Aichy. Although Aichy's magical power and the power of the ice longbow made her feel a bone-piercing cold, she was also a powerful Ice People. Although the cold was painful, it wasn't enough to make her lose the ability to fight.
"I said it when we parted! Aichy! I will no longer see you as my sister! My friend! The next time we meet — that is, this time! We will be enemies who must fight to the death! "
However, the more Sejuani fought with Aichy, the more annoyed and angry she became. Didn't she miss the good times she spent with Aichy? No, of course she cared.
But that was the way things were. The more you cared about someone, the more you would hate them after they betrayed you. The grudge between Sejuani and Aichy wasn't that simple to explain. After Aichy's tribe was destroyed, Sejuani took Aichy in and decided to challenge her mother as a young girl. She even used her own body as bait to rope in the warriors of her tribe.
Because only by doing so would Eich be able to successfully join their tribe despite the opposition of the Frost Priestess and her mother. She wouldn't have to wander around the Ice Wasteland alone, worrying about whether her life would end at any moment. However, Eich had refused her request to eliminate the weaker allies in order to reduce their food consumption. Eich had even turned on her because of this, which had deeply hurt her heart.
She sacrificed so much for Aichy, but because of Aichy's ridiculous kindness, she rejected this matter. In the end, although she let go of Aichy and those who were supposed to be killed, she knew very well that she and Aichy weren't the same kind of people.
"But we have already made a blood oath! We are allies! "
Aichy wanted to dissuade Sejuani because she realized that Li Ke's situation wasn't very good. However, Sejuani didn't care about this matter. In her opinion, the longer Li Ke was delayed, the better.
