The Noxus language with an Ionian accent baffled Li Ke. Since when did he become a death dealer? But reality didn't allow him to continue thinking about it because the fuse on the woman was terrifyingly short. Basically, as long as she came close to him, the explosives on her would explode.
Thus, a blue energy flashed in Li Ke's hand. The moment the woman landed on the ground, her clothes were shredded into pieces. Even the gunpowder bag wrapped around her body was chopped into pieces by this swift slash, scattering all over her body. Even though the woman shrieked, she still resolutely stabbed the weapon in her hand towards Li Ke's heart.
"Wind!"
Words came out of his mouth, and the power that came from Jana gathered the surrounding wind in front of him. Everyone on the ship had to close their eyes because of the strong wind, unable to see what was happening in front of them. At the same time, Li Ke took off his cloak and wrapped it around the woman's body. At the same time, he manipulated the sand to tie her up tightly.
"There are more and more troublesome things."
Li Ke gazed at the assassins who were caught by the vines. He manipulated the vines to reach into their clothes and took out all the explosives they carried. Then, he turned to the female leader who was cursing him in Ionian language. He felt a little helpless.
The other party's accent was too heavy, just like how Northeastern people and Guangzhou people spoke in their native languages. Basically, it was impossible for them to communicate. The Ionian language that he had learned wasn't good enough for him to ignore this barrier. So, he reached out his hand to the woman's neck and used his magic to absorb some of the woman's life force.
She screamed in agony. The feeling of her life force and soul being extracted wasn't a pain that an ordinary Ionian civilian could endure. This was a pain that directly affected the soul. The anesthetic she drank wasn't effective at all. However, this time, Li Ke didn't immediately digest the life force after extracting it. Instead, he closed his eyes and injected the life force into his brain. He didn't immediately digest it into his own life force.
Then, he saw fragments of the woman's memories.
The Noxus people's dead husbands, newborns that they didn't let their husbands see, war weapons from Pirtwof, and their farmlands that were completely contaminated by alchemy poisons. In just a few seconds, Li Ke saw through the woman's life. He also consumed his remaining life force to learn the Ionian language that the woman spoke with an accent.
This was a new ability that he developed after his battle with Yatoku and his transformation into an Ascendant. He could selectively extract the memories and knowledge of the other party from their life force. Although he could only see the general picture and the life force extracted would be consumed rapidly, it was still not enough. But compared to before when he could only see fragments uncontrollably in dreams, this was already a great improvement.
After all, he didn't dare to experiment with life force directly in his brain in the past.
"Beast! Scum! Is this the greatest torture you can inflict on me? Kill me if you have the guts! You traitor who betrayed your homeland! Traitor! Bastard! "
Li Ke heard the Ionian woman's curses clearly. But after understanding why she wanted to assassinate him from the fragments of her memories, Li Ke didn't intend to let her go, but he wasn't angry anymore.
The reason was simple. This Ionian woman was a victim of the Noxus war against the Ionians. She used to be a dancer and married an honest and strong farmer last year. They were a happy family. But the sad thing was that when she was about to give birth, the Noxus came to her house to collect food and killed her husband who tried to protect the cattle and rations. If it wasn't for a dojo prophet who sent warriors to her village in time and killed the Noxus soldiers, she and her newborn child would have been burned alive by the fire set by the Noxus soldiers. Then, the charred corpses would have been dragged away and used as rations for the Drakulas.
Yes, the Noxus people sometimes used enemies and slaves as their war hounds, which were also food for the Drakulas and Drakulas.
Moreover, some people were even enjoying it.
But this wasn't the end. When the Noxus people found out that someone dared to go against the will of the Noxus, they directly injected alchemy poison into the village. Not only did they kill the remaining family members of the woman, but they also polluted the water source and soil, turning it into an extremely toxic place. Even the adults had suffered heavy casualties, not to mention the children and a newborn baby.
Then, when the woman was consoled by a young warrior, the warrior was smashed by an acid bottle with the words' produced by Pilterworf 'in order to protect her. He screamed in agony as he dissolved into a pile of pus.
Then, a suicide squad that specialized in ambushing the Noxus people appeared. When they found out that the new ruler of Pi City, Li Ke, signed a huge order with Noxus, they decided to kill Li Ke and let everyone know that those who produced weapons for the Noxus people would meet a terrible end. When they were about to head to Pilterworf, they received news that Li Ke was heading to Noxus. Thus, these people who had their families slaughtered and their homes destroyed obeyed the orders of the prophet and ambushed on a nearby island, waiting for Li Ke's arrival.
They successfully followed the prophet's orders and ambushed him. But it was a pity that they weren't strong enough and were captured by Li Ke on the spot.
"Lock them up, but don't mistreat them."
Li Ke wanted to say something, but he didn't. He wouldn't let these people off so easily because they would definitely try again after their failure and might even threaten the people around him. However, he was filled with sympathy for their plight. The things that the Noxus people did were too similar to what a certain country did to his homeland in history. Moreover, the prophet was also very important to him, so he made a decision after pondering for a while.
"Also, change the direction of the fleet and head to Lyken in Ionia. I have some matters to attend to there."
He wanted to meet that mysterious prophet, as well as that woman called Mei Mu, who claimed to be the Shadow Fist.
