Hidden Corners

The blood-chilling murderous intent and blood energy surged in the hall, but at this moment, what made Asler's heart sink was where did Carlos in front of him obtain such powerful power.

Bloodiness is not like cheating. If the other party really did what he said, then

The Baron Carlos in front of him must have a stronger hidden card or strength.

The atmosphere quickly became solidified.

In the hall, the knights slowly grasped the hilts of their swords, and the fluctuations brewing in the mage's body became stronger and stronger.

Four knights, including a high knight.

Three mages, one high-ranking mage.

Such a lineup, coupled with the garrison outside Black Castle, should have been foolproof.

But for some reason, Asler felt strangely uneasy in his heart at this time.

"Who are you?" He took a deep breath and stared at Carlos with solemn and deep eyes, full of vigilance.

"Let's discuss this issue in detail later." Li Chengyi seemed not to notice the other party's vigilant posture at all.

He moved forward step by step, getting closer.

As the distance approached, the pressure became heavier and heavier, like a dark cloud, overwhelming the seven people.

Asler retreated unconsciously, but the four knights could no longer bear it.

"ah!!"

A knight shouted suddenly, drew his sword and rushed forward, slashing at Li Chengyi with all his strength.

"Die evil devil!!"

The silver heavy sword drew a semi-circular arc and slashed towards Li Chengyi like lightning.

Dang!

The sword stopped suddenly and hovered in mid-air.

Li Chengyi stretched out one hand and grasped the hilt of the sword. The huge force was like a mountain torrent, instantly suppressing the knight's hands.

Click.

The blade broke, the knight howled miserably, and was knocked away, accurately flying out of the window.

When the other knights saw this, their expressions changed dramatically, and they all drew their swords and charged forward.

The mages raised their hands and sprinkled large amounts of sparkling white powder.

The powder fell to the ground, and suddenly there was the sound of flapping wings in the sky outside the window.

A black vulture with three heads rushed from a distance, smashed through the window, and pounced on Li Chengyi.

But before they could get close, they were struck by a silver sword light at will, easily and accurately slicing their vital points, losing their balance and falling to the ground.

Asler also retreated, raised his hand, and more than a dozen fire snakes flew out and scattered from his hand, like blooming flowers.

The fire snakes circled around, gathered together, and charged towards Li Chengyi.

Its speed is extremely fast, and its timing is right between the attacks of the knights in front.

But unfortunately, the fire snake is faster, and Li Chengyi is faster.

He took a step, sprinted forward like a rocket, and struck Asler in the head with his sword.

This sword was so fast and powerful that even if Asler had expected it, an inescapable feeling of despair arose in his heart.

Fortunately, another knight on the side rushed over, holding a shield in both hands, and lunged in front of him.

Bang! !

The sword blade hit the surface of the shield, erupting with terrifying and unimaginable force.

The knight's expression changed drastically, and he felt that he was not fighting against a human being, but against a barbarian king!

The huge force knocked him to his knees, and his knees hit the ground with a snapping sound.

There was a buzzing sound in his head, and he lost consciousness. His mouth and nose were shaken on the spot and blood overflowed.

Bang!

Li Chengyi casually threw the unconscious knight out, threw it aside, waved his sword blade, and walked calmly towards Asler at the end.

The Fire Snake Spell struck behind him, but he struck out with a backhand sword, bringing out a huge sword wind and exploding it.

Without even looking back, he easily reached a few meters in front of Asler.

Raise the sword and swing it down.

Bang!

In an instant, a giant rock hand as thick as an adult's thigh suddenly grew out of the ground in front of Asler.

The giant hand held the blade, making a muffled sound, and at the same time, a large piece of gravel and soil was cut out.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Asler recited a brief incantation, and a dazzling white lightning flew out from his hand, like a white twisted ribbon, instantly hitting Carlos who was nearby.

Click.

The loud noise caused by the arc was transmitted at this time.

The intensity of this arc was much stronger than the arcs among the mages Li Chengyi had killed before.

At least the power difference is several times greater.

But Li Chengyi's physical strength at this time only made him feel slightly numb.

puff.

At the last moment, Asler's unfinished incantation was cut off. His eyes blurred, and he fell to the ground spinning. Like the others, he was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the other mages and knights were knocked unconscious one by one without any resistance under the flickering figure of Li Chengyi.

Putting down his sword, Li Chengyi dusted himself off. He no longer planned to hide it. After finding out the details of the mage's system, he decided to speed up his acquisition of knowledge.

At this time, Melissa and Old Buck hurried to the hall and looked at the scene in front of them.

The entire hall was in a mess as if it was being charged by an elephant.

The visiting mages and knights fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

And Li Chengyi stood in the middle, inserting the sword blade back into his back with a calm expression.

"Carlos! What are you doing!?" Melissa looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief, not knowing how to react.

"As you can see, self-defense."

The soldiers outside Li Chengyi came in and tied up several people one by one.

"But that's the messenger from the White Tower!!"

Melissa couldn't help but yell.

Li Chengyi was too lazy to say anything and took a mechanical watch from a mage's hand and put it on his own hand.

Then he turned around and walked out of the hall with satisfaction.

Several barbarian warriors who were dominated by fear and surrendered followed him towards the outside of the Black Castle.

Now that the details are almost figured out, it’s time to harvest.

A few hours later.

The nobles outside Black Castle united their armies and fled in defeat. At the same time, shocking rumors spread that Black Castle colluded with elves and barbarians to murder the White Tower mage knights.

The entire Oklahoma Territory was shaken.

Many surrounding nobles entered a state of war readiness and held a joint meeting of nobles to discuss how to target the Oklahoma Territory.

At this time, Li Chengyi had already begun interrogating Asler and others.

A lot of secret knowledge about mages was leaked from their mouths.

The flames of the sword furnace in Li Chengyi's mind began to spread and thicken.

After a brief interrogation, he went straight to Sun City, the largest territory near the territory, Viscount Tislan.

Sun City is the core city where the Viscount holds emergency meetings of the nobility on weekdays.

The next day, ten of the thirteen nobles in Sun City who came to attend a meeting were intercepted and killed on the way.

It was reported that the survivor who pretended to be dead was Baron Carlos from the Oklahoma Territory.

The undefeated Carlos, with one man and one sword, easily killed a small group of forty fully armed knights as if he were writing or drawing.

The average territorial knight could not even last two rounds under him.

On the third day, Viscount Tisilan’s Mansion.

The Viscount looked gloomy and stood in the drawing room, staring intently at the young and handsome black-haired Baron who slowly walked in the door.

"Carlos! What do you want to do!? Slaughter the elves, intercept the nobles, kidnap the wizards and knights of the White Tower! Even the barbarians are captured by you! What is your purpose!?" The Viscount has obviously mastered enough detailed information. .

And it was this information that made him deeply realize that the seemingly handsome young baron in front of him was actually an out-and-out humanoid monster.

Bang!

Outside the living room, a barbarian warrior smashed the door, bent down and poked his head in. He said something in a hurry.

Li Chengyi responded casually and waited for the barbarian warriors to turn around and leave, then he looked at Viscount Tisilan.

"God has given me extraordinary gifts and talents, not for me to indulge in mortal struggles for power. I should have a bigger stage, and the pursuit of life evolution and knowledge is the direction I should go."

He walked step by step not far from the Viscount, and then sat down on the sofa.

Seeing the viscount and the twin daughters behind him, they all showed signs of fear and stepped back.

He couldn't help but feel a little bored.

"Of course, to be realistic, I need all the books collected by you, as well as all the books collected by all the noble merchants around me. I am not interested in the rest. Only books are records of wisdom and inheritance of experience."

Book! ?

Viscount Tislan couldn't believe his ears.

The Baron Carlos in front of him has killed at least thousands of people so far, and his purpose is just to collect everyone's books! ?

Killing so many people just for some books! ?

"Of course, in addition to these, I also need to summon scholars to come and communicate with me." Li Chengyi continued.

"No territory has more scholars than the White Tower!" Tislan blurted out, "Why don't you go to the White Tower!?"

At this time, he already suspected that the Carlos in front of him was not a human at all, but might be some kind of mythical creature disguised as a human. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why he could kill so many troops by himself.

"The White Tower is my next stop." Li Chengyi said with a natural expression. "Just before going there, you need to settle the surroundings first."

"豼!?" Tislan didn't expect that the other party actually had such a plan. His voice was stuck immediately, and he didn't know how to answer the call for a while.

"Carlos! Why did you do that? You killed the knights, massacred the army, and kidnapped Mina. You shouldn't be like that!"

At this time, outside the hall, several people from the Youth Association quickly joined the battlefield and joined forces to fight against a barbarian warrior.

The rest of the elite coalition forces of other noble families who gradually arrived also approached and stopped the remaining barbarian warriors.

Crossbow arrows flew down, and the few barbarian warriors were beaten back steadily. They could only rely on their armors and helmets to protect their bodies and were unable to fight back.

The person who shouted was none other than Jay En, a member of the Youth Association who had wanted to challenge Li Chengyi before. He blushed and rushed towards here angrily.

"You were the first to defeat the barbarians. I'm proud of you as an Easterner, and I'm out there protecting your reputation, but look what you've done!?"

"What did I do?" Li Chengyi turned around and grabbed the two-handed heavy sword that was slashed with one hand.

Bang.

The blade of the sword was clamped by two fingers, unable to move.

No matter how hard Jayne tried, he couldn't move an inch.

"I'm just clearing some obstacles on the road to pursuing knowledge."

He flicked it casually.

The huge force carried Jayne tumbling out, fell heavily to the stone tiles in the distance, and rolled out of the hall again.

"Don't you think it's boring to repeatedly indulge in boring calculations among nobles? Why does the world have to be complicated? Get rid of the pretense between everyone, face reality, and face you and me? Isn't it good?"

Li Chengyi casually chopped up an orange fireball flying from the right.

The flames exploded with a bang, revealing his handsome and unscathed face.

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

At this moment, the dense crossbow arrows turned into raindrops and were shot towards his body.

But at this time, Li Chengyi, whose physical fitness had improved to 12 times that of Milton, just flashed casually and appeared several meters away, avoiding the sword rain.

His movement was like a ghost and he suddenly flashed forward. In two seconds, he crossed the battlefield of Viscount Mansion.

Groups of knights and soldiers were besieging the barbarian battle formations. As he broke in, the scene was like a knocked over bowling ball, rolling and exploding in all directions.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock and horror.

No one can stop Li Chengyi, even for a second.

Anyone in front of him is like paper, whether he is a knight or an ordinary soldier.

After more than ten breaths.

The deer flag belonging to the Oklahoma Territory was raised above Viscount Tislan's Mansion.

The Viscount announced his surrender.

The thousands of troops stationed outside were completely turned into decorations. Li Chengyi went straight to Huanglong and completed the feat of annexing the surrounding viscountries in just a few days.

Although he only ruled violently, as long as he was alive, the knights and nobles below would not dare to resist.
