Grabbing the neck of the officer he was familiar with, Li Ke allowed the swords of the other soldiers to slash his body, but they were blocked by his hard bones.
However, this was a small matter because the life force extracted from the officer was much more than the normal soldiers. Not only was it enough for Li Ke's body to repair his bones, but it was also enough for Li Ke to ignore the other soldiers' attacks.
This was probably because he was stronger than the other soldiers and had fewer injuries. However, his extraordinary strength did not allow him to be saved. This was because when Li Ke grabbed him, his other actions did not stop at all. He used his knee to viciously strike the area between the officer's legs, directly causing the officer to succumb to the pain of having his life sucked out under the double pressure of intense pain and suffocation, unable to resist Li Ke any longer.
"You … kill me … you will die too …"
After saying these words with difficulty, Li Ke grabbed the officer's throat and slammed him into another soldier by Li Ke. The soldier and his officer fell to the ground together. As for Li Ke, he withstood the sharp swords of the other two soldiers and killed the two soldiers. Covered in blood, he came to the officer's side and used the same method to kill the last soldier who tried to stop him.
"Do you think I will still be afraid?"
After saying this, Li Ke no longer cared about the officer he was familiar with. Instead, he picked up the officer's keys and threw them to the women who followed him.
"There are a lot of prisoners in this arena. Your next task is to release them and tell them that the Noxus people won't care if they escaped on their own."
Li Ke pointed in the direction of the prison. He picked up the two swords and prepared to attack the second wave of soldiers.
"What about you?"
The woman in the lead looked at Li Ke with a complicated expression.
"I will buy you time, but there are guards in the prison. Whether we can escape or not depends on your performance."
Li Ke felt that the most he could do was to make a scene and then die. But since he had already decided to make a big fuss, it was only natural to drag more people down with him.
"This time, we will fulfill our promise! Also, my name is Alena, Gulof's daughter, a member of Winter Claw! "
She was still brooding over the mistake that injured Li Ke, but she didn't hesitate too much. After saying some strange words to Li Ke, she led the group of fully armed women and rushed in the direction pointed by Li Ke. And Li Ke did as he said and rushed to the soldiers.
But the soldiers that came next were difficult to deal with.
This time, it was a group of soldiers armed with spears. There were a total of sixteen of them. Furthermore, they were wearing plate armor from head to toe, unlike the previous soldiers who wore leather armor that was convenient for movement and allowed them to wear a lot of clothes without affecting their movement. This was very bad news for Li Ke because in this way, he couldn't directly kill a soldier.
Every time he wanted to use the sword in his hand to attack one of the soldiers, the other soldiers holding spears would pierce his chest and waist from his back and sides, intending to kill him on the spot.
And even if he got close to a soldier, the sword in his hand couldn't kill him immediately. And there was no possibility of direct contact with the enemy's armor.
So Li Ke was having a hard time. He had to cut off the spears of these soldiers first and then fight them in close combat.
"This is the backbone of Noxus!"
Grabbing the two spears that pierced into his stomach, Li Ke used his abdominal muscles and arm strength to forcefully break the wooden bodies of the two spears. After that, he roared and rushed to the side of the two soldiers who couldn't dodge in time, thrusting his sharp sword into their necks through the gaps in their armor.
However, not only did his actions kill two Noxas soldiers, but they also stabbed him in the back with two spears, causing him to feel pain in his head once more.
If he was in the arena, he definitely wouldn't use this method. Instead, he would use his flexible body and strong physique to slowly kill these soldiers. At most, he would suffer some light injuries. But in this situation, he didn't have much time, so he could only use this strategy of killing 1000 enemies while sacrificing 800 of his own men.
Li Ke forced himself to turn around. The pain of the spears tearing through his body almost made him roar. Especially because one of the spears pierced too close to his spine, Li Ke turned around to kill the remaining two soldiers. The sharp tip of the spear left a deep scar on his spine.
But even so, the pain wasn't enough to divert his sword. In the eyes of the soldiers, Li Ke's two swords pierced their throats and sent them away from the world of the living.
After the two soldiers fell, Li Ke staggered two steps back. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the spears from his body. Then, he weakly knelt on the ground. Enduring the pain, he reached his hands into the bodies of the soldiers who weren't completely dead yet and extracted the remaining life force from their bodies.
But just as he was about to repair his body and take a breather, a dense rain of arrows shrouded him. Several arrows hit his back in an instant, forcing him to lift the two corpses as his shield.
But even so, arrows continued to hit his body. It was especially so for his arms and thighs, which the archers focused on. They hoped that the pain would make this gladiator put down his shield.
When the rain of arrows stopped and Li Ke put down his shield, a round of applause sounded. A familiar voice sounded in Li Ke's ears.
"You've done well. Just like before, I thought you would die here … but you should be able to do better. These people are wearing armor and they've been waiting for you for a long time. It's indeed unfair for you … Besides, you don't have to be so anxious in the arena. Am I right? Immortals. In order to give those women time to free the prisoners, you tried your best to stop us and buy time for them … But do you think a group of women and a motley crew can defeat us? You must be dreaming! You should be very clear about this matter! "
The one who spoke was naturally the general that Li Ke was most familiar with. He appeared in front of Li Ke with a large group of fully armed soldiers. Although he himself wasn't wearing any armor, there were two magicians standing beside him. Ordinary people couldn't get close to him.
Besides, what he said was true because Li Ke saw the dense group of armored soldiers behind him, as well as the crossbows and cannons that were supposed to be used to attack the city. It was indeed impossible for the rebellious slaves and women to defeat the elite regular army.
"So why did you do such a foolish thing? Your future was so great … Forget it. It's useless to talk about this now. Put down your weapons and you can still live as a gladiator for a few more days. Otherwise, what awaits you is only endless pain! "
His face was filled with anger. After all, he valued Li Ke so much that he was the one who taught Li Ke how to fight. But what did Li Ke give him in return?
A comical, foolish, and absolutely impossible rebellion?!
He failed to live up to his expectations and investment!
"Indeed. No matter what, I can't defeat you. I have no chance of winning from the start."
Li Ke stood up and slowly pulled out the arrows from his body. Then, he threw the blood-stained arrows to the ground.
"But who told you that I intend to live today?"
