609 The Scheme of the Foreign Races
How was this a farmer? This was a butcher, an executioner!
What the h*ll is the eighteen styles of might? It’s a little scary!
One hoe killed one, one head killed one, and two fists killed two.
If he used all eighteen forms of might, wouldn’t there be 480 killed? He had killed four divine realm powerhouses in just a few breaths.
This wasn’t a farmer’s style but a peerless expert.
He killed a Scorpion race with a hoe. He said he wanted to plow the fields but he directly killed a Dark Night Elf. Furthermore, the ‘old man pushed the cart’ had killed two Werewolves’ powerhouses. No one would think that these divine realm experts were stupid or did not know how to dodge. Who would think that the bodies of these experts were as fragile as tofu and that they would die with a touch?
The ‘eighteen styles of might’ looked very simple, and almost everyone knew a few moves. However, it was not simple at all to kill four divine realm powerhouses in one round. No one would see these three moves as common means, nor see this old farmer as an ordinary farmer.
Could ordinary farmers survive here? Could he just sit here and relax?
The problem was that even Li Xiang couldn’t see through the mystery hidden in the old farmer.
“He’s very powerful and unfathomable. His cultivation should be far above the divine realm. He’s likely in the Holy Light realm, and even in the high rank. Perhaps he has some powerful breath-holding secret technique that can restrain his aura. It may be true if he’s a farmer. This kind of farmer’s temperament can’t be fake.”
A thought flashed through Li Xiang’s mind.
“Good Kung Fu, uncle. The eighteen styles of might are indeed amazing. I’m amazed!”
Li Xiang looked at the old farmer as he returned after picking up the hoe and said with a strange smile.
“I’m old and useless. I can’t compare to my old self. However, a few small weeds can’t trouble me. Do they think that I’m blind? I’m not bragging, but no matter how well the weeds in the ground hide, they can’t escape my eyes.”
The old farmer chuckled and said, “Alright, it’s getting late. I’m going to sleep. I still have to continue plowing the fields tomorrow. I can’t be lazy.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the bamboo house, closing the door.
Everything that happened tonight was unbelievable.
Ye Qiu stepped forward and carefully examined the corpses. Then he brought the four corpses over.
“One Scorpion race, one Dark Night Elf, and two Werewolves. The Scorpion race got smashed into the skulls by the hoe when it was underground. It was killed with one strike. There were signs that it instinctively summoned for help before it died. As for the Dark Night Elf, according to the knowledge in the Scripture Library, this race was also called the Drow.
It lived underground and was a race from the underground world. They were best at assassinations in the dark and were very good at hiding. But now, the bones in its chest were shattered, and its heart was broken. Its life force was annihilated on the spot. Whereas for the two Werewolves, their internal organs were smashed into meat paste by the fists.!”
After Ye Qiu finished checking, his face revealed a look of shock. His gaze toward the bamboo house became serious.
The person sleeping inside was not an ordinary old farmer. Whoever was deceived by his appearance would die without even knowing how. The corpses in front of him were living examples.
“This old farmer should be a hermit expert,” said Zhao Yun.
“Most importantly, he is a human,” said Li Xiang and took a deep breath.
“Country Lord, I’m afraid that after the few battles yesterday and seeing hundreds of thousands of troops fall in front of us, the foreign races have begun to change their strategy. They are no longer directly attacking our armies, but have begun to use assassination as a means. If I’m not wrong, the target of this assassination should be Your Majesty.”
“These foreign races aren’t stupid. In terms of intelligence, they are not much worse than the Human race. Some of them are even as smart as us. Those cannon fodder vanguards had been annihilated in the Eight Trigrams Demon Array. They know that the price they have to pay for a frontal attack is too great, so it is normal for them to choose assassination. As long as the country lord is killed, the Kingdom of Dawn would be left without a leader. It will be much easier to deal with the kingdom by then. They’re not just targeting our army, but the entire Kingdom of Dawn and even the Human race!”
Alice’s eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness as she quickly said.
The moment the assassin in the dark appeared, she already had a guess.
“Indeed! However, it won’t be easy to assassinate me. As long as they’re not afraid of death, they can come at me. I’ll see the strength of the foreign races.”
Li Xiang felt that Alice’s guess should be close to the truth.
Targeting him with assassination means would make him have to be vigilant at all times. It would take up most of his energy, and a single mistake could lead to extremely serious consequences.
As the saying went, “You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against thieves for a thousand days.”
If he were to wait passively for the enemies to assassinate him, there would be times when he would be careless.
Therefore, the threat level was even more terrifying than in a normal army battle. This would bring mental pressure on himself and even the entire army. It was not something that ordinary people could bear.
However, the premise was that the strength of these assassins had to be equal to Li Xiang’s. Otherwise, no matter how many of them came, they would just be courting death.
Although Li Xiang was only at Rank 3 in the divine realm, his actual combat power had long since reached Rank 7. If he used all his trump cards, even a Rank 9 divine realm powerhouse would be at a great disadvantage against him.
“Country Lord, you must not be careless. The son of a rich family couldn’t sit in the hall. The country lord’s safety concerns hundreds of millions of people in the Kingdom of Dawn, so it won’t be too much no matter how careful we have to be.” Alice was worried about Li Xiang taking such a risk.
Even though Alice was a Succubus, her body had been tempered and changed by the power of Starlight after being together with humans for such a long time. She no longer had the evil aura of a demon and was more like a new race.
This race was closer to humans, and her potential was even more immeasurable.
At the same time, she had been living with many humans and had spent a long time with Li Xiang and the others. She had a good understanding of Huaxia culture and had even read many ancient books in the Scripture Library. Her words and actions were more like that of a native Human race.
In her opinion, Li Xiang’s safety was too important. If anything went wrong, the current good situation would be destroyed. The entire Kingdom of Dawn would be quickly annihilated.
At the moment, he still had no children to inherit this foundation, and no one in the country had enough prestige to take over the people he had left behind.
Therefore, Li Xiang must be safe and sound.
