With Shaking Light around, we could steadily find water sources and resting places along the way. Western City was getting closer. However, on this day, while marching, the young girl suddenly sensed something. She urged her horse to Li Guanyi’s side and tugged on him. Li Guanyi lowered his eyes: "What’s the matter?" The silver-haired girl said: "The atmosphere isn’t right..." Her clear eyes stared ahead intently: "Someone is waiting up ahead." Li Guanyi was slightly taken aback. The troops began to move, changing direction immediately, but the change in Li Guanyi’s formation seemed to have been detected by the other side. Li Guanyi suddenly felt a wave of Military School’s evil qi approaching. Who could it be?! Blocking the way at this moment?! Li Guanyi raised his arm. Fan Qing, Qibi Li, and Li Kedi all led the soldiers to change formation. With over twenty thousand men under command, Li Guanyi’s ability was now quite adept. He looked up into the distance, seeing the previously concealed military evil qi rushing skyward. The grand sound of hoofbeats was synchronized, descending like roaring thunder. Li Guanyi’s gaze was locked forward, feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure. Lifting his gaze, he saw among the sandstorm, a single rider emerged. A tall warhorse ran through the storm, giving off an imposing presence. An older man sat atop the horse. Despite being aged, he sat straight, clad in black armor, his dark cloak billowing in the wind. His arm muscles bulged, not holding the reins, letting the Divine Steed run freely. With one hand, he wielded a long double-edged battle blade, moving leisurely as if strolling in a courtyard, with sharp eyes. Behind him, all wore cloaks and gray armor, riding large horses; as they galloped, they were silent, appearing from afar, as terrifying as gray wolves, exerting a silent pressure on Li Guanyi’s army. Fan Qing’s expression tightened, and Qibi Li held the reins tightly. Li Kedi, known as Feihu’er, breathed heavily, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes red. They were still young generals, only in their thirties. The man before them had been dominating the world at their age. That old general pulled the reins, eyes looking forward. The evil qi gathered in the sky, transforming into several gray wolves, growling softly. Once the Fourth Divine General of the world, the Great Grandmaster of Nine Heavens, Wolf King Chen Fubi. Along with, comparable to the elite of the Taiping Army, a top army unit in the world. At a time and place no one anticipated, leading a five thousand strong top army unit, they appeared behind Li Guanyi’s army, who had not yet recovered from a fierce battle and even had prisoners. Li Kedi gritted his teeth: "Wolf King!" Li Guanyi raised his hand, stopping Li Kedi and Yuchi Xiong. He stared intently forward, recognizing this was the old merchant who had given him a ride after he and Li Zhaowen made a ruckus at Changfeng Building more than two years ago. The Wolf King rode forward with grace, laughing, saying: "Today I have wine, do you dare to come drink a cup with me?" Li Guanyi rode forward slowly before the five thousand Gray Wolf Cavalry, calmly saying: "Why wouldn’t I dare?" The two armies on either side, each remained silent and solemn. Gray Wolf Cavalry was most adept at concealing their presence. Perhaps once defeated by the World’s Number One Divine General using a flanking tactic, the Wolf King’s unique corps was characterized by concealment and high mobility. The two commanders broke away from their armies, each advancing several hundred steps. The old gray wolf took out a water bag from his waist, drinking wine in large gulps, the liquor spilling down, yet he didn’t care, wiping his beard casually, and tossed it to Li Guanyi, who looked at him, lifted his neck, and drank the wine. Having drunk the fierce wine to the last drop, he tossed the water bag back. Both sides remained calm and composed, neither losing their spirit or momentum. The old gray wolf scrutinized Li Guanyi, a hint of a dangerous, bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face: Li Guanyi had no surprise about being recognized, merely watching the gray wolf. The old wolf smiled, his right hand gripping the long-handled double-edged battle sword, his wrist moved, raising the blade, pointing at Li Guanyi, he said: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." "My resources in the Western Regions aren’t very sufficient; this game at Western City, I intended to gather more meat." "Unfortunately, I didn’t expect to encounter you." "I’ve heard that you’ve made quite a name for yourself here in the Western Regions." Follow current novᴇls on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱 "You are already considered an enemy of mine. So, my dear nephew, do you think today you can surpass me or fall under my blade?" "Why not surrender to me, and I will grant you the title of Taiping Duke!" With these two sentences, Li Guanyi realized that the matters involving the Dangxiang Kingdom, Xiao Yuxue, the Western Region’s seven tribes’ flanking and Duke Li’s battles, none had escaped this old Divine General’s notice and judgment. He truly was like an old wolf, waiting for conflict to end, then preparing to kill and devour his target. Li Guanyi didn’t anticipate that the Wolf King’s target would choose him. Chen Fubi looked at Li Guanyi, waiting for his reply. Li Guanyi extended his five fingers, and the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd slowly appeared, his hand grasping it. Li Guanyi’s weapon rose, pointing at the Wolf King who had made a name for himself across the world for decades, the young general’s face showed no sign of weakness, his spirit unfazed by this renowned general. Both their subordinates could tell. The Wolf King, Tian Ge’er, the meeting of both sides would either be battle or alliance. Whomever wins or loses will influence the world’s direction. Li Guanyi, clad in armor, held the battle halberd, spoke loudly: "Does Wolf King think saying these words can shake my morale?" Before tens of thousands of soldiers, two riders faced each other alone. In the chaos of the world, a king meets a king. Li Guanyi lifted the battle halberd in his hand, pointing at Wolf King Chen Fubi ahead, and faced the Western Region’s most formidable foe, answered: "If you want to fight." "Then come and fight!"
