Chapter 604 I Will Never Let You Go
No matter how righteous and courageous He Zudao spoke before, he was ultimately an extremely selfish person.

When he was carrying out massacres on both sides of the river, he had only one thought in mind: if I can't live well, then no one else can either. In the cities east of the river, nine out of ten houses were empty. Of course, there were those wicked villains who bullied and oppressed the people, but the vast majority of people were still ordinary folks.

After I die, I don't care if the world is flooded.

That's what He Zudao thought.

At that time, he had no hope for the future and lived one day at a time, killing one person at a time.

But then things took a turn for the better, and he began to feel that his life was valuable and that he deserved to be at the table.
So he immediately changed his course and reconnected with the powerful families he had sworn to kill in the eight towns of Jiangnan.

This is precisely why Ke Wuji felt quite disheartened.

After Ke Wuji met Li Dachui, he immediately switched sides to Li Dachui without any hesitation.

During this process, He Zudao advanced to the Innate Realm.

This made him cherish himself even more.

It doesn't matter if the army fails; it can be rebuilt.

It doesn't matter if you lose territory; you can always take it back.

As long as I'm still here, anything is possible.

If He Zudao, who was only a ninth-grade Xuan Yuan cultivator back then, wasn't very confident, now He Zudao believes that even if he's left all alone, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

So when he realized that things were hopeless, he immediately began to run away.

Even if he were to go to Xiang Ying alone now, as a master of innate talent, he would still receive excellent treatment.

His decisive action took Li Dachui by surprise.

The current battlefield is still in a stalemate. Although our side has a certain advantage due to having more skilled soldiers, the enemy has more well-trained soldiers.

Of course, given enough time, the other party will eventually be unable to withstand it.

He Zudao was indeed extremely intelligent and decisive. He knew that if he waited until the army collapsed before thinking about escaping, he might not be able to escape.

At that point, if even one or two experts at the ninth rank of the Profound Origin Realm were to slightly obstruct him, he would not be able to escape from Li Dachui's grasp.

If you're going to leave, now's the time.

His actions were indeed unexpected by Li Dachui. He Zudao seized the initiative and, in a flash, had already moved far away from the battlefield.

Li Dachui watched He Zudao's departing figure and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This guy is actually quite interesting.

But do you think you can get away with this?
Li Dachui took a step forward and was standing next to Ke Wuji in the next moment.

Countless spears thrust forward, but Li Dachui casually waved his hand, and dozens of spears clashed and intertwined. As Li Dachui raised his hand, they flew into the air with a whoosh, and then turned around, as if someone was standing high in the sky, throwing these spears down one after another. Each one that flew down pinned a soldier to the ground.

This move immediately terrified all the soldiers in the surrounding Jiangnan garrison.

Ke Wuji was already terrifying enough, killing one person with a single claw, but this one was killing in droves.

"He Zudao escaped! I'm going to catch him!" Li Dachui said. "If this man gets away, there will be endless trouble later." "He Zudao escaped?" Ke Wuji was greatly surprised. The fighting was still going on, and he, as the commander-in-chief, had already run away. "Li Duhu, you go after this bastard! This guy must not be let go!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Dachui vanished without a trace in a flash.

Caught off guard, Ke Wuji jumped up in fright.

What kind of technique is this?
With a slight shift in his mind, he turned to look eastward. Beside a banner of the Jiangnan Garrison Army that was burning fiercely, Li Dachui's figure suddenly appeared, and then disappeared again in the next moment.

Ke Wuji was greatly shocked.
This, this doesn't seem like an innate method!
He Zudao had already left the battlefield.

When one innate being no longer wants to fight and is determined to leave, the other innate being cannot stop them, unless the first innate being has an ally who can hinder the one who wants to escape.

Although he was far from danger, He Zudao was still filled with regret.

Failed again.

Why am I always the one who fails?

He looked toward the city of Ruyin, a fierce glint suddenly flashing in his eyes.

Go kill a few people to vent your anger.

Li Dachui and those experts have all come here. Now, in Ruyin County, who can stop him?

If we're lucky enough to kill Han Zheng, that would be a great joy.

Just as I was about to set off, a sudden warning came to my mind. I turned around abruptly and found that there was already another person in front of me.

"Li Dachui!" he exclaimed in surprise.

“He Zudao, today we are going to decide the outcome of the battle, and also the outcome of life and death. The outcome is still uncertain, how can you run away?” Li Dachui said coldly, his hands behind his back.

He Zudao took a deep breath, said nothing, and retreated rapidly, leaving a series of afterimages in the air. At this moment, he had pushed all his strength to the limit.

Just as he ran out of breath and stopped to catch his breath, he was horrified to find that Li Dachui was still standing more than ten feet away from him, watching him, as if the several miles he had just covered in that breath had never existed.

"A mental wandering?" He Zudao swallowed hard, feeling utterly hopeless.

"No!" Li Dachui said, "I'm standing on the threshold, not even stepped inside yet, but that's enough to deal with you!"

"Do you really intend to exterminate them all?"

“If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t go so far as to kill them all, but you’re different!” Li Dachui said, “Were you just thinking about going to Ruyin County or somewhere else to kill a few of our people to vent your anger?”

He Zudao stared at Li Dachui, who had actually guessed his thoughts.

“If a master of innate cultivation shamelessly becomes an assassin and killer, then I’m afraid no one in this world can stop him!” Li Dachui said, “Fortunately, most masters of innate cultivation in this world have families and responsibilities. The few who don’t have these things still have some dignity. Even if they fail or fall into despair, they won’t do such a shameful thing. But you are different. You really do it! So how could I possibly let you go?”

"Li Dachui, how dare you look down on me like this!" He Zudao roared in fury.

“It’s not that I look down on you, but that’s just who you are. So, He Zudao, today is your last day in this world. Is there anything you want to leave for this world? Speak up!” Li Dachui said.

"Since you haven't achieved the Divine Travel state yet, it's still uncertain who will live and who will die!" He Zudao gripped his greatsword tightly with both hands and roared as he lunged at Li Dachui.
