Li Jing didn't know that his crisis had come. At this moment, he was advancing towards the royal city of the Western Turks with an army as powerful as a rainbow.
Along the way, he led his soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, killing more than 100,000 troops who blocked them. Such a record was worthy of pride even if he returned to the Tang Dynasty without capturing the royal city, and worthy of being promoted to a noble rank.
But Li Jing disagreed. Who were those hundreds of thousands of people? They are all from the lowest level of the Western Turks. Even the generals are young people. Those veteran generals have not gone to war at all.
Winning against these young people was nothing in Li Jing's eyes.
On the battlefield, old men are wiser. Although the old guys no longer have the courage and strength to charge into battle, their ability to discern the situation on the battlefield cannot be learned by young people.
They were able to use their soldiers where they should go, instead of rushing in all at once, which would just become the target of the enemy. This is why Li Jing easily wiped out hundreds of thousands of Western Turks.
One mile away from Li Jing's army, a white-haired old man wearing a Taoist robe stood on a slope with his hands behind his back, looking at the advancing army with no expression on his face.
Suddenly, a flash of light burst out from the old man's eyes, and then he disappeared from the spot with a movement of his body.
A mile away, Li Jing's horse stopped. In front of it, there was also an old man standing. However, this old man's face was skeletal, but his hair was as black as ink, which formed a sharp contrast and looked very strange.
Seeing the old man blocking the road in front of him, Li Jing subconsciously wanted to control his horse to retreat. In Li Jing's opinion, the appearance of this old man was too sudden.
The former army did not find any trace of the old man and let him get close to them. This was something that was simply impossible, but this old man of unknown origin did it.
A bold guess emerged in Li Jing's mind, but he still couldn't believe that the old man in front of him was actually in the innate realm.
If this old man is really in the innate realm, then his situation will be worrying.
The old man did not stop Li Jing from turning the horse's head and trying to escape.
Instead, he stood there quietly and snorted: "Li Jing, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
How could Li Jing listen to the old man's words? As soon as the horse's head turned, he took control of the horse and wanted to get away from this place quickly.
But no matter how he urged the war horse, the war horse stood there motionless, like a sculpture.
"Still want to escape? You can't escape today!"
"Since you don't listen to my advice, I won't be merciful to you. I will torture you, but I won't kill you. After I've tortured you enough, I will take you back to Tubo and hand it over to the Khan. I'll give it to you personally, but in my opinion, your ending is self-evident!" The old man said lightly, as if Li Jing's death was already a certainty.
Li Jing still didn't speak, but raised his head and glared at the old man fiercely, as if he wanted to bite the old man to death before he would give up.
Seeing that Li Jing was still stubborn, the old man prepared to move, approached Li Jing, captured Li Jing, made him incapacitated, detained him, and sent him to the Khan for his punishment.
Li Jing couldn't help but be shocked. The truth of the matter was indeed similar to what he had guessed. This old man was indeed a strong man in the Xiantian realm and had the background of the Western Turks.
As a strong man in the True Yuan Realm, he couldn't see the old man's movements at all. No matter how good he was in making light of his body, he wouldn't even be able to detect the traces.
Just as Li Jing was looking around blankly, a big withered yellow hand grabbed Li Jing's neck.
As long as he was caught, Li Jing was afraid that he would be in danger, but when he was caught, Li Jing had no reaction at all.
Just as he was about to grab Li Jing, suddenly, an equally old hand stretched out from behind Li Jing and met the skeletal palm in front of Li Jing.
"boom!"
A wave of air erupted from the position where the two men were fighting, blowing the people around them to stagger.
As for Li Jing, who was in the middle of the core, he naturally received special care, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.
If the people behind him hadn't protected him, Li Jing would have been seriously injured.
Now, Li Jing is intact and the old man's assassination failed.
The first rule of a killer is to escape thousands of miles without hitting a hit. The old man knows this very well. It is obvious that the person who can take his palm must be in the same innate realm as him. If there are people in the same realm, the old man will evacuate without hesitation. He came here and disappeared in front of Li Jing.
And the mysterious man who had just slapped the old man disappeared when the old man disappeared. Li Jing didn't even see what the man who saved his life looked like!
