Blood Wolf was also somewhat excited by Li Wei's words. He took the manual and saw that it was a "Dark Iron Sword Technique". Li Wei had obtained this from the Jin Yong Heroes World, and it was considered to be close to A-level martial arts.
Upon seeing the Dark Iron Sword Technique, Blood Wolf could no longer hide the joy in his eyes, and he chose to learn it almost without hesitation. Immediately, the Dark Iron Sword Technique manual transformed into a cluster of photons and entered his body.
Li Wei smiled as he watched Blood Wolf comprehend the profound mysteries of the Dark Iron Sword Technique.
A moment later, Blood Wolf opened his eyes. "Besides practicing this Dark Iron Sword Technique yourself, you can also use experience points to improve it. However, to reach the highest level of 10, you need about 8,000 experience points, and to reach the [Extreme Realm], you need another 3,000 experience points. That's no small amount..."
Li Wei chuckled, having already made up his mind. The Dark Iron Sword Technique should be of a similar level to his Shockwave Fist, and its power shouldn't be too bad.
"Don't worry about the experience points. Let me ask you, you were born into the military, haven't you ever heard of the tactic of 'when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we pursue'?"
Blood Wolf's eyes lit up upon hearing this; he immediately understood Li Wei's meaning. "You mean, use guerrilla the Scourge?"
Li Wei nodded; this was the method Li Wei had come up with. By continuously killing the Scourge soldiers, he could gain gold and experience points, accelerate base construction, and improve his martial arts level—why not?
Blood Wolf wholeheartedly agreed with Li Wei's idea, especially since he had just mastered the Dark Iron Sword Technique and was eager to see the power of this advanced martial art. So, Li Wei arranged for several Wisp to build more Moon Well and spent all the resources to build the 'Item Shop'. Then, he and Blood Wolf rushed out of the base.
Their target was the retreating Bull Demon. Of course, Li Wei wasn't arrogant enough to kill the Bull Demon immediately. His and Blood Wolf's target was the other seriously injured Reincarnator.
Because of the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions, Li Wei directly pulled Blood Wolf to the outside of the Scourge base. The two then found a spot to squat down and wait for their prey to come to them.
After a while, the tall figure of the Bull Demon could be seen approaching from afar, followed by the alien reincarnator.
"Skeleton Star Domain Reincarnator, combat strength B3, severely injured..."
This is how Li Wei observed the information and saw the other party gradually approaching. Li Wei calculated the opportunity, pounced out suddenly, and activated the Mirror Image.
The image he Mirror Image was none other than the Bull Demon.
Under the influence of water magic, a ripple shot out, and before the Bull Demon could react in a daze, another Mirror Image the Bull Demon appeared behind him.
Upon seeing Li Wei, the Bull Demon's eyes reddened again. He suddenly raised his hands, and then, as if activating some kind of special skill, a hazy yellow light appeared on his hands, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash a killing move.
Instead of retreating, Li Wei advanced, quickly unleashing a Finger Thunder. Meanwhile, the Blood Wolf pounced on the surrounding Scourge Ghoul.
Just then, a scream rang out, and the Bull Demon turned around in surprise, only to be met with a roar of rage. The Skeleton Star Domain Reincarnator behind him had actually been killed by another 'self'.
Instantly, Li Wei received a reward notification: Kill the wary hero, gain 200 gold coins and 200 experience points. The killed hero is permanently dead and cannot be resurrected.
The Bull Demon was completely unfazed by the Finger Thunder striking him; instead, he slammed his hands into the ground.
A visible shockwave erupted from the ground, and Li Wei instantly received a notification that the 'Mirror Image' had been shattered. At the same time, a powerful impact slammed into his body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Looking closer, the ground appeared to have just been plowed, with all the soil turned up, covering an area of tens of meters. On the other side, the Blood Wolf was bleeding from its mouth and nose, swaying and nearly collapsing to the ground.
Seeing that the Bull Demon was about to try the same trick again, Li Wei knew that if he did it again, he would be fine, but the Blood Wolf would probably die here. So he quickly ran over, grabbed the Blood Wolf, and Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to a safe area.
Fortunately, they had the 'Boots of Speed' item, otherwise they might have been in real trouble. Li Wei only breathed a sigh of relief after the two of them moved to a safe area.
The sneak attack, though extremely risky, was remarkably successful. It not only forced the Bull Demon to use his ultimate move but also killed the Reincarnator. Given this shift in power, it was clear that our side had gained a significant advantage.
In his haste to escape, Li Wei hadn't noticed where he'd been teleported to. Now, looking around, he realized he'd been transported right next to Goblin Shop.
The Goblin Shop had quite a few items, including the 'Boots of Speed' that I bought at the beginning, as well as the 'Circlet of Nobility', the 'Ring of Strength', and the 'Ring of Protection'.
After checking the Goblin Shop's panel, Li Wei discovered that the Ring of Strength had already been bought. Undoubtedly, it was the Bull Demon King who did it. Li Wei guessed that the Bull Demon King hadn't bought the other items either, probably because he was short on resources at the time. After all, these items were extremely useful, especially the Circlet of Nobility; the stronger the wearer, the greater the effect.
Of course, the resource shortage is only at the beginning of the game. Now, after a period of gathering and accumulating resources, neither the Sentinel nor the Scourge has any issues with resources. Therefore, these things will be bought up sooner or later, so it's better to act first.
With that in mind, Li Wei immediately pocketed the remaining Circlet of Nobility and Ring of Protection. Not only that, he also bought several ointments, and then handed the Ring of Strength and several bottles of ointment to Blood Wolf.
"The Ring of Strength increases your strength by 50 points. This should give you a significant boost in combat power. Of course, you should still upgrade the Dark Iron Sword Technique as soon as possible, so that at least you can hold your own against the Bull Demon for a few moves."
Taking the prop from Li Wei, Blood Wolf nodded. He could clearly feel the gap between himself and Bull Demon. Even with his Bone Shattering Fist at its peak and his combat power at A-level, he still couldn't withstand even a single move from Bull Demon King. Fortunately, he now had the Dark Iron Sword Technique, which gave Blood Wolf a little more confidence.
As for the Circlet of Nobility, Li Wei kept it for himself, and after equipping it, his attributes were slightly improved.
At this moment, Li Wei checked his experience points and smiled. He had just killed an enemy Reincarnator and gained 200 experience points, just enough to break through to the 'Cloud Piercing Palm'. Blood Wolf, upon learning of this, also looked at Li Wei expectantly, wanting to witness Li Wei's breakthrough to the extreme realm.
Without hesitation, Li Wei chose to break through the 'Cloud Piercing Palm'.
In an instant, Li Wei was enveloped in beams of light, and like the Blood Wolf, Li Wei experienced an extremely refreshing feeling. It was like a tired person suddenly soaking in warm water, with every pore feeling comfortable. This feeling lasted for three to five seconds before gradually fading, and the light also gradually dissipated.
Li Wei opened his eyes. In his skill bar, the Cloud Piercing Palm had changed from level 4 to [Extreme]. To test the Cloud Piercing Palm in Extreme state, Li Wei found a few monsters in the wild, then suddenly leaped up and struck out with his palm from the air.
A golden light flashed, and a huge palm print appeared in the air. It then crashed down with tremendous force, suppressing the monsters so much that they couldn't lift their heads. After a loud bang, a palm print 5 meters long and 1 meter deep appeared on the ground.
Those few monsters had long been smashed into a pulp, and were beyond dead.
"Is this Li Wei's ultimate martial arts technique?" Blood Wolf swallowed hard and muttered to himself. Compared to this Bone Shattering Fist- Cloud Piercing Palm was simply far inferior.
Li Wei was quite satisfied with this result. The power of the Extreme Cloud Piercing Palm was beyond doubt. At the same time, he was also looking forward to seeing what the power would be like if he could break through to the extreme level of the Shockwave Fist or the Myriad Sword Technique.
"Experience points, I need experience points!" Li Wei had never been so eager to jump into the next battle, because here, battle meant experience.
After resting for a while, the two continued their journey towards the Scourge base, but this time, they split up. This was also Li Wei's idea.
Since the Sentinel base has three entrances, the Scourge base should be the same. The Scourge soldiers will continuously emerge from all three entrances and attack the Sentinel Legion base along this road. Similarly, Sentinel Legion soldiers will also attack from this road. The two sides will usually fight a major battle right in the middle of the two bases, continuously attriting each other. Unless an external force intervenes, this balance will generally not be broken.
In Li Wei's view, this was a completely pointless waste. After all, each Ghoul and skeleton represented gold coins and experience points; wouldn't it be a pity to waste them?
Now, of the three routes, except for the middle one, the upper and lower routes are blocked by Li Wei and Blood Wolf respectively, immediately disrupting the balance of power between the Sentinel and the Scourge. Countless Ghoul and skeletons perished at the hands of Li Wei and Blood Wolf, while the Sentinel Legion's Archer and Footman suffered minimal losses. In just a short while, a large group of Archer and Footman reached the Scourge's gate.
Li Wei mingled among the Sentinel Legion, eyeing the two Ghost Tower opposite him. If he could breach these Ghost Tower, he could directly attack the enemy's main base.
Although the two defensive towers are extremely powerful, they cannot attack multiple targets simultaneously, thus giving Li Wei room to maneuver.
With Archer and Footman leading the way, Li Wei stealthily followed behind, immediately killing Ghoul or skeletons he encountered to earn gold and experience points. Soon, they were very close to the Ghost Tower.
