Two days later.

It was already very late in the evening when Li Jiye arrived at Glimmer City, the nearest city to Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

He randomly found a place to rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, he would buy some healing potions and energy-replenishing potions before setting off for the range.

Glimmer City had a large population of people thanks to its proximity to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. Many mercenaries chose to settle here to be able to enter the mountains from closeby.

Besides these mercenaries, Glimmer City also housed many Orcs. Orcs not only fought against humans but also hunted down demonic beasts.

In such a messy environment, the public security of Glimmer City was extremely chaotic. The Mayor’s mansion was just for show and didn’t have much use.

In Glimmer City, murders occurred almost daily, and people in the city were already accustomed to such things.

Similarly, this had no effect on Li Jiye, who was only temporarily staying here.

In the morning, he came out of the hotel and walked directly to the shop selling liquid medicine.

The most basic consumable potions that weren’t too expensive were the healing and energy-replenishing potions. A set of 10 bottles only cost one gold coin.

He quickly purchased three sets of healing potions and seven sets of energy-replenishing potions before leaving Glimmer City.

He was about to reach the Demonic Beast Mountain Range when he suddenly heard a fierce battle cry not far away.

It wasn’t too surprising to hear a battle going on, so he was rather nonchalant, and didn’t want to poke his nose into other people’s business. He continued walking towards the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.

A roar suddenly sounded. “Stop right there!”

He turned around subconsciously only to see a young girl rushing in his direction. Behind her were several tall bull-headed Orcs.

Taurens!

“Help me!” The girl hurriedly called for help when she saw Li Jiye.

She ran up to him, her pretty face extremely pale. A trace of blood dripped from her mouth as she begged, “Please help me!”

Before Li Jiye could speak, a few Taurens stopped not far away. Andrew, the Tauren heading the group, said in a commanding voice, “Human kid, don’t be too nosy. Hand over that woman!”

Ignoring Andrew, Li Jiye took out a bottle of healing potion from his pocket and handed it to the girl.

Although he didn’t know what conflict they had, he definitely wouldn’t just watch the girl be taken away.

The hatred between humans and Orcs was deeply rooted. If it weren’t for Orcs, many humans wouldn’t have died in battle.

These Orcs were born ever since the emergence of demonic beasts, and their hatred towards humans was innate.

Despite being able to attack the human cities, demonic beasts didn’t possess the same intelligence as Orcs. They couldn’t launch wars, seize human territories, etc…

“Thank you,” the young girl exclaimed gratefully and took the healing potion.

“You’re too nosy for your own good!” Andrew said angrily when he saw this. “Charge! Tear up that human kid along with her!”

Just as his words fell, the other subordinates rushed towards Li Jiye, one after another. They made no secret of their murderous intentions.

Seeing this, Li Jiye pulled the girl behind him and rushed up to meet the Taurens.

With the support of the Shadow Wind Steps, his rapid speed wasn’t something the Taurens could keep up with.

“Godspeed Steps!”

When it came to Taurens, Li Jiye was merciless.

The other party wanted to kill him, so he naturally had no reservations either.

Bang!

The violent impact resounded loudly.

Although Taurens were known for their strength, the power of the Godspeed Steps couldn’t be underestimated.

He had already checked that other than Andrew, who was in the middle-rank Tier 2, the others were all in Tier 1. Thus, all the more they couldn’t defend against his Godspeed Steps.

The first Tauren howled under the collision. His arms exploded suddenly, and blood splattered everywhere.

Without stopping, Li Jiye directly continued with Storm Fist and blasted forward.

Their Tier 1 strength was completely weak against Li Jiye’s attacks.

Soon, all of them except Andrew had fallen in a pool of blood. Andrew’s expression changed when he saw this bloodbath.

Li Jiye’s next move only made his anger explode.

With a sudden burst of strength, Li Jiye kicked a Tauren lying at his feet towards Andrew.

After a blood-curdling screech, the Tauren also lost his life.

“It’s your turn!” At the same time, Li Jiye shouted as if pronouncing Andrew’s death sentence.

“Human, you will pay for your actions. I’ll tear you into pieces and avenge my men!” Andrew sputtered angrily.

“You speak too much nonsense. Since you have so much confidence in yourself, I’ll use my best martial art to defeat you. This way, you’ll earn an honored death!” He took the lead right after speaking and rushed towards Andrew.

Andrew immediately shifted his attack stance and prepared for the incoming battle.

“Tauren Charge!” Seeing Li Jiye approaching, Andrew immediately whipped out his strongest attack.

At the same time, a crisp voice rang in Li Jiye’s mind. “Ding! Congratulations on your successful replication of the C-level martial art, Tauren Charge.”

After the successful replication, Li Jiye immediately stepped aside from Andrew’s path. He had quickly defended against the Tauren’s move and rushed up again.

“Tauren Charge? I know that too!”

While speaking, he dashed in front of Andrew. This time, he was the one who brandished the Tauren Charge on him.

Andrew was completely stunned; he didn’t expect Li Jiye to be able to use the martial art of their Tauren clan!

By the time he returned to his senses, Li Jiye’s heavy blow had already hit him.

Bang.

Before he had time to defend himself, Andrew was sent flying.

Trying to get up from the ground with difficulty, he spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Li Jiye in disbelief.

“You… How could you possibly know the Tauren Charge?”

“I learned it from you, obviously. How was it? How does it feel to be defeated by your own martial art?”

“Impossible. How could you—?”

“It’s up to you whether to believe it or not. But now, you should have a taste of your own medicine again.”

Without giving Andrew a chance to reply, he rushed forward with the Shadow Wind Steps and attacked with the Tauren Charge again.

Andrew subconsciously shielded himself.

But he was now full of injuries, so how could he possibly be Li Jiye’s match?

As a result, without any surprise, his body was sent flying again!

Falling heavily to the ground, he immediately took out a flare and released a signal into the air.

Upon seeing this, Li Jiye frowned involuntarily and made a decision to get rid of Andrew quickly.

But Andrew was well aware that he was no match for Li Jiye. When Li Jiye charged towards him, he quickly got up and fled.

“You’re trying to escape?” Li Jiye sneered disdainfully.

He picked up a piece of leaf and threw it in Andrew’s direction.

Swish!

Like a flying knife, the falling leaf picked up speed and seemed to zip forth with a burst of energy.

It was the Falling Leaves Deadly Knives!

Andrew was fortunate enough to be the first person to die under it!
