Capítulo 1328: Chapter 1299: An Unexpected Existence
This voice caused an eerie silence to fall over the surroundings.
Everyone turned their eyes toward the suddenly appearing figure with a peculiar gaze.
Lately, to confront the Demon Clan, many people in the Allied Forces had put forth great effort to recruit a large number of strong warriors.
Among these warriors, some were veteran experts hidden deep within the various races, while others were pillars of their own races.
However, there were also quite a few who were discovered individually and sporadically.
As for what Wang Qiu knew, Li Chen fit this kind of sporadic existence — a powerful warrior who suddenly emerged. Previously, Wang Qiu had never heard of Li Chen, yet Li Chen seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
The person in front of them also appeared so suddenly.
People from the Allied Forces encountered him in a remote mountain forest, brought him out, and finally discovered that this suddenly appearing man, although disabled, was incredibly strong, beyond all their expectations.
Thus, the Allied Forces decided to keep him.
Even though this person seemed a bit odd and wasn’t getting along with others, his strength was undeniable. At a time when the Allied Forces were short on people to battle the Demon Clan, after asking for his opinion, they let this super expert with one arm stay among them.
However, in everyone’s eyes, this person’s character remained extremely peculiar, so few were willing to interact with him.
This individual seemed to have been born with a peculiar sense of superiority; since others didn’t initiate conversation, he never spoke with them.
This time, however, this usually reclusive man took the initiative to come over.
Looking at Rinal, this disabled man’s face bore aloofness and deep disdain, almost like the words “contempt” were written across it.
“What a… failure!”
Rinal looked at the man who appeared suddenly, a face full of disbelief.
“Are you… talking to me?”
The man, full of stubble and a bit weathered in his expression, missing a left arm, gently shook his head: “Of course not. Because someone as useless as you isn’t worthy of a conversation with me.”
Upon hearing the man’s words, Rinal’s face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
His hand rested on the weapon at his waist, seemingly ready to take action at any time.
“Not just you.” At this moment, the man with a weathered demeanor spoke again, glanced at Rinal, then shifted his gaze onto several other generals not far away.
“You, you all are a bunch of failures!”
The man’s words seemed to be inciting a battle, and many people looked at him unpleasantly.
Usually, they were unwilling to communicate with this man simply because he was too reclusive and his strength was indeed formidable, and under no special circumstances did anyone wish to provoke him lightly.
But this didn’t mean they feared him.
“Are you provoking us with your words?” Rinal looked towards the man, his expression growing darker: “Although the threat of the Demon King looms, if you wish to incite a fight at this time, we can’t accept that either, as internal strife is far more dreadful than external threats.”
The man, upon hearing Rinal’s response, gently shook his head: “This is why I call you a failure.”
“That so-called Demon King is indeed strong. But just because he is strong, does that scare you all into cowering behind, not daring to take action? Originally, your kind didn’t have much power, and now you don’t even have the courage to fight to the death. How is this different from being a dead fish?”
“No, no, you’re worse than a dead fish. A dead fish can still be rations, but a useless person like you here is just wasting food and air. With all that cultivation at the Burning Heat Level, wearing a suit of useless armor, hiding behind others, and letting a bunch of small Profound Level and Yellow Rank fellows die for you—you, a useless failure, don’t deserve to live!”
Underneath the man’s weathered appearance, he revealed a deep-seated disdain.
Rinal’s expression became increasingly unsightly upon hearing the man’s words.
Since becoming a Scorching-Level Expert, this was the first time he had been scolded so harshly, especially in front of so many people.
And behind Rinal and Wang Qiu, a group of soldiers also looked incredulous upon hearing the man’s words.
“So, we’re just cannon fodder?”
Rinal was about to retort when suddenly, a powerful aura descended from the sky, enveloping him within.
In the man’s hand, at some unknown time, he had grasped a longsword.
A simply designed, dark blue Huaxia Style Longsword.
Looking at Rinal, Lieu Zhanxiao’s expression was indifferent; even with only one hand remaining, he was a true warrior!
A warrior whose power had reached the pinnacle… a Great Scorching Heat Expert!
Originally, due to certain special reasons, martial artists from the minor world were slightly weaker than the Huaxia Martial Artists in terms of strength, not to mention that Lieu Zhanxiao also had a whole level advantage over Rinal.
As long as it was not a monster-like existence like Li Chen, with Rinal’s cultivation, he truly had little effective means of resistance before Lieu Zhanxiao.
A chilling aura enveloped Rinal’s entire body in an instant.
And Wang Qiu, who was originally beside Rinal, was also immediately knocked away by a strong shockwave.
“Weaklings must have the awareness of weaklings. Since you are so afraid of death, why did you come to participate in this rubbish war? Why not obediently hide in the back and shrink within your turtle shell?”
Lieu Zhanxiao looked at Rinal, who was tightly locked by his aura, unable to move, and coldly said.
“Since you enjoy sending others to their deaths, you might as well experience this feeling yourself.”
Suddenly, Lieu Zhanxiao’s single arm trembled lightly.
A crystal-clear ice bead appeared unexpectedly behind Rinal’s head.
The ice bead fell instantly behind Rinal’s head.
Rinal’s face instantly stiffened, feeling as though his body had suddenly lost its mobility. He desperately tried to control his body to shake off this peculiar rigidity but found himself momentarily unable to do so.
The next moment, Rinal’s body was forcibly lifted from his horse by an invisible force.
“Whoosh—”
Like a meteor, Rinal’s body suddenly flew off into the distance.
“Oh, here comes a pretty decent guy.” Sensing the suddenly appearing Burning Heat Level aura, the Demon King licked his lips, a black hand appearing out of thin air, fiercely grasping towards Rinal.
At this moment, Rinal regained mobility. Seeing the closing black hand, his face instantly became flustered and frantic.
“Damn it!”
“Damn it! I don’t want to die yet!!”
“Boom!!”
