Lu Li knew that Li Jin would not be convinced. Not only Li Jin, but many other warriors would as well.
Therefore, if he wanted to continue living here peacefully, he had to establish his might and make everyone submit to him. If he didn't suppress the soldiers, how could he lead the troops in the future?
Li Jin was at the peak of the third tribulation, but just an average one. Lu Li could defeat him easily.
Not to mention anything else, he could suppress him with just his physical body alone.
Today, he slapped him in front of a group of soldiers. He wanted to establish his might and let all the soldiers know who was the boss here.
Yellow-tooth was smart. He knew that Lu Li was powerful. Now that Lu Li was the Commander, he had some friendship with Lu Li. Naturally, he would cling to Lu Li.
What was there to be afraid of offending a deputy commander?
Lu Li was a commander.
"Yes, Commander!"
After Yellow-tooth and the others shouted, more soldiers took out their weapons and locked onto Li Jin.
There was strict discipline in the army. Military orders must be obeyed. Lu Li was the boss here, so naturally, they would listen to his orders.
Li Jin was very embarrassed. His eyes were a little red. He had been in the Underworld Palace for nearly a hundred years, but he had never been bullied like this.
He wished he could stab Lu Li to death. But reason told him that he had better not act rashly or he would be killed by the warriors.
He had been in the City Defense Army for many years and knew that soldiers only listened to military orders. If he acted recklessly, this group of soldiers would not be polite and would directly kill him.
Therefore, he looked at Lu Li with hatred and said, "Commander Lu, what have I done wrong?
Why did you hit me directly?
If you don't give me an explanation, even if I go to the Elder's Hall, I won't let this matter rest. "
Li Jin was furious. He was indignant and filled with righteous indignation.
He looked like a child who had been beaten by his father for no reason, extremely ashamed and indignant.
"What did I do wrong?"
Lu Li snorted and said, "Are you the commander or am I?
Are you the boss here or am I the boss?
I haven't even given the order, yet you dare to give it?
You can go to the Hall of Elders to complain about this matter. "
"You …"
Li Jin was speechless and didn't know how to refute. It was indeed his fault.
He also wanted to establish his dominance. He wanted to take advantage of Lu Li's young age and suppress him. From now on, he would be the boss here.
But he didn't expect Lu Li to be so cruel.
It was a direct slap to his face.
"What about you?
You're not convinced? "
Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "You think I sneaked up on you, so you are not convinced?
Do you want me to give you a chance for a fair fight?
If you win, the position of commander here will be yours, and I'll just leave. If you lose, you'll have to obediently listen to my orders. "
"This …"
Li Jin was surprised. He didn't expect Lu Li to be so arrogant.
Deep down, he was not convinced. He thought Lu Li was not strong enough and it was just a sneak attack.
But he didn't say yes right away. After all, to fight with Lu Li would be to go against his superior. The higher-ups of the Hell Palace would be dissatisfied if this matter was spread out.
However …
With the current situation, it was hard for him to back down. He thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll experience the Commander's brilliant moves."
"Spread out!"
Yellow-tooth's eyes were filled with excitement, and many of the soldiers were also excited. The two new commanders had just been promoted, and this was the time for them to understand their combat strength.
Deep down, they were not convinced of Lu Li's superiority. Now that they were presented with such a good opportunity, of course, they were excited.
The soldiers scattered to the sides and made way for the center of the plaza. Hou San stood on the side, excited but nervous at the same time. What if Lu Li lost?
Lu Li stood where he was calmly. The sword in Li Jin's hand glowed. He lifted it up slowly and his momentum grew. He was like a demon coming to the world.
He had been a team leader for many years and had hundreds of men under his command. Over the years, he had developed a strong momentum. He was tall and strong, and he looked valiant with the sword in his hand.
Lu Li was on the thin side, more like a young master. He didn't have any weapon in his hand. He just stood there quietly and he didn't release any momentum.
Compared to Li Jin, he was more like a delicate scholar.
"Commander Lu, watch out!
“
Li Jin shouted. He kicked on the ground and leaped up. He rushed towards Lu Li like a bolt of lightning. Holding the sword in both hands, he hacked at Lu Li's head like a thunderbolt.
His dueling sword drew a white glare in midair, causing a deafening noise. A surge of horrifying qi and energy spread out, suffocating the warriors tens of thousands of feet behind Lu Li.
"How …"
Hou San was not good at fighting but he had sharp eyes. His heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
There was nothing special about Li Jin's move. The only thing was that it was ferocious.
If Lu Li was hit, he would be seriously injured or wounded no matter how strong his defense was.
If Lu Li's head was hit, his head would explode and he would die instantly.
But Lu Li didn't move. He didn't dodge or attack. Instead, he did something strange — he closed his eyes.
Everyone gasped. This was such a horrifying attack and the new commander didn't dodge. Instead, he closed his eyes. Was he out of his mind?
Was the new commander going to be replaced on the first day of his appointment?
Lu Li was not out of his mind. He wanted to win and he wanted to do it cleanly. Therefore, he closed his eyes and activated the Trace of Dao to enhance his senses.
"Swish ~"
The heavy sword came at Lu Li with a horrifying storm. When it was about to hit Lu Li's head, he finally moved. He moved his head slightly to the side and his fist glowed in golden light. Then he punched forward with great force.
Brute force!
Lu Li had faith in his defense. Li Jin's attack was good but it couldn't destroy his shoulder. Lu Li would only be wounded.
That being said, Li Jin could not stand this punch.
"Eh?"
Li Jin was surprised. Was Lu Li risking his life?
He had two choices, to step back or to take the brute force head-on.
If he retreated, all the effort he had put in to accumulate his power would be wasted. He thought for a moment and decided to fight recklessly.
His sword was longer. If he could smash Lu Li away in an instant, then Lu Li wouldn't be able to attack him.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, all the warriors felt their hearts tremble. Lu Li and Li Jin were smashed away at the same time.
What was different was that Lu Li stepped back for more than 100 feet while Li Jin was smashed away. Blood gushed out from his mouth.
"Hiss, hiss ~"
Many warriors gasped and stared at Lu Li in disbelief.
The armor on Lu Li's shoulder was cracked. There was some blood on his shoulder but it was just a scratch.
On the other hand, there was a hole in Li Jin's chest. His ribs were broken and his internal organs must have been shattered.
"Boom!"
Li Jin's body fell heavily to the ground. He rolled a few times and struggled to get up. Blood gushed out of his mouth again. He opened his eyes wide and they were filled with shock.
Lu Li touched the broken armor, took out a healing pellet and took it. Looking at Li Jin calmly, he said, "Commander Li, do you believe me?
I want to tell you … that was just a regular move.
Also, when I saved the Goddess, I killed a badly wounded warrior of the fourth tribulation. I am not lying! "
"Eh …"
Everyone was stunned. Some had heard of the rumor but they didn't know it was true.
A badly wounded warrior of the fourth tribulation was still a warrior of the fourth tribulation.
Yellow-tooth was sweating. Luckily, he didn't offend Lu Li too much before or else he would be a corpse now.
