<div> Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Breaking Through the Siege
 Beside him, an archer said, "Chief Luan, this man is very fierce. I’ve heard that he’s slaughtered the disciples of the Heavy Sword Sect in the main city; we must not underestimate him."
 "As long as he hasn’t become a martial artist, no matter how strong he is, falling into my hands is like a grasshopper after autumn—it won’t jump for long." The man called ’Chief Luan’ said disdainfully, "If it weren’t for giving my brothers a chance to earn merits, I could take him down myself!"
 While they were talking, Lou Yi charged into the archers like a tiger into a flock of sheep, his axe seeming to have auto-targeting as he swiftly killed two more.
 One had his head chopped off, the other was cleaved from top to bottom.
 Lou Yi’s axe skill at a masterful level, combined with strength far surpassing that of an ordinary person, made these archers seem as easy to cut down as melons.
 Seeing the team on the verge of collapse, an archer said, "Please, Chief Luan, take action and capture this man!"
 Chief Luan stood with his hands behind him, saying blandly, "Why should I handle it myself? Send in the armored soldiers!"
 ’Clang, clang, clang!’
 Over ten archers donned in iron armor arrived at the boat’s entrance, forming a tight encirclement.
 Other soldiers in normal attire stepped back to avoid becoming cannon fodder for Lou Yi.
 Seeing so many armored soldiers, Lou Yi’s pupils narrowed.
 Wearing iron armor, their strength increased substantially—this wouldn’t be easy to handle.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> But did he have a choice now? He could only fight!
 ’Swish, swish!’
 Lou Yi used the Eight-character Formation to swiftly swing the slingshot twice, bringing down two armored soldiers.
 Each had a visible indentation on their chest.
 The expressions of the soldiers were twisted in agony, lying on the ground and vomiting blood profusely.
 Though protected by iron armor, Lou Yi’s strength, which could exceed a thousand pounds, made the kinetic energy of the stones he threw too much, even with armor protection.
 As the officers closed in, the slingshot became ineffective.
 Lou Yi pulled out the axe hidden in his chest, directly facing the remaining armored soldiers.
 The cold iron armor made the soldiers fearless of death. Countless shining blades coiled toward Lou Yi all at once.
 No matter who he hit, he would receive attacks from the others simultaneously.
 At this moment, all he could do was cleave a path to survival with all his strength!
 "Get lost!"
 Lou Yi swung the woodcutting axe in his hand, his waist and back exerting force simultaneously.
 Instantly, his power over a thousand pounds tore through air, easily knocking away the leading soldier’s blade and continuing to slash through his throat.
 The neck guard was thinner there, and the soldier’s head was instantly severed, blood spurting like a fountain to stain the surrounding ground.
 A second soldier was rapidly approaching from the left, giving Lou Yi no time to react, and the blade directly cut toward him.
 It was too late to change tactics now, and it seemed that Lou Yi would die under the blade.
 Lou Yi tilted his body slightly, kicked the ground fiercely with both feet, and with huge inertia, he crashed into the opponent forcefully!
 ’Splash!’
 This soldier fell into the water.
 At this moment, the third soldier attacked from behind.
 His skills were better than the previous two, attacking at a tricky angle and timing, making Lou Yi extremely uncomfortable.
 He just stabilized his stance, precisely when his old strength was exhausted and new power had yet to arise.
 Even when reluctantly turning to block with the axe, perhaps exerting only a fraction of his total strength.
 The soldier evidently noticed this, a smug smile appeared on his lips, seemingly seeing great merit beckoning.
 Suddenly, the smile froze.
 He only felt a moment of mental dizziness, as if dozing off on the battlefield.
 Upon realizing, his neck turned cold, vision rising higher as if flying.
 Flying along with his head was the blade that failed to achieve merit.
 In the nick of time, Lou Yi used his skill Splitting Mountain to intimidate and reverse-kill the soldier.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Taking advantage of the cooldown period of Splitting Mountain, Lou Yi exhibited his prowess, using Extreme Strength to once again eliminate three armored soldiers!
 He crossed the deck, reached ashore, and forcibly broke through the area with the fewest enemies.
 Only hearing ’thud, thud, thud,’ several unfortunate ones met King Yama.
 The remaining officers witnessed his ferocity, hesitating to approach, seeing Lou Yi about to escape.
 "Oh, not bad," Chief Luan still had a bland expression, as if everything was within his control.
 "Sir, please take action!" An archer requested.
 "No hurry, where are the archers?" Chief Luan looked around.
 At that point, a squad of archers arrived.
 "Good, shoot him dead!" Chief Luan commanded.
 ’Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!’
 A rain of arrows poured down on Lou Yi’s position.
 Though he hoisted a dead body as a meat shield, he was still hit by multiple arrows.
 "He’s hit!"
 "Quick, pursue!"
 Even though Lou Yi successfully escaped the dock, Chief Luan still smiled and ordered the pursuit to continue.
 The archers gathered in increasing numbers, everyone riding fine horses, galloping toward Lou Yi’s escape route.
 "So fast!"
 Someone exclaimed in shock, finding Lou Yi’s speed comparable to leopards and tigers, the horses struggling to keep up.
 "He can’t escape," Chief Luan confidently stated, "All arrows are coated with special poison.
 Over time, the drug’s potency intensifies, even a martial artist can’t withstand it."
 "Against such a brute, impatience can’t be allowed; over time, he’ll naturally expose a flaw. As the saying goes, once, twice, thrice and it’s exhausted." Chief Luan chuckled, "Have you all learned something?"
 "Chief Luan is wise! The official is indeed the official! Brilliant indeed!" The surrounding archers flattered him, making Chief Luan laugh heartily.
 "Let Man Slaughter and Iron Hand witness who truly is the strongest Chief Constable outside the city!
 Relying on brute strength alone is the lowest grade!"
 On the other side.
 Lou Yi felt his legs increasingly heavy, his eyelids seemingly filled with lead, ready to close at any time.
 Meanwhile, the sound of enemy hooves grew clearer.
 ’Damn it!’
 Lou Yi was anxious, continuing like this, sooner or later he’d be caught.
 Recalling the past, he was always forced to resist.
 From the moment of enmity with the Qi Family, the ending seemed predestined.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Having offended someone with connections, is there no second path besides waiting for death and being killed after a difficult resistance?
 Lou Yi was unwilling!
 Having reincarnated with difficulty, must he die in such a disgraced manner?
 Lou Yi instinctively looked toward the attribute panel, eyes flickering.
 He discovered the first line of the name on the panel had changed from pure green to faint red.
 Faint red signified warning, indicating something was wrong with his body, perfectly aligns with the current situation.
 However, a faint + sign appeared at the top right next to the name, hard to notice without looking closely.
 ’Could it be?’
 Lou Yi’s eyes brightened, feeling a surge of new power within, barely supporting him to escape into a mountain ahead.
 The mountain was covered in dense forests and rugged rocks, where Lou Yi first encountered the Black Tiger.
 "Whoa..." Chief Luan stopped his horse, looking at Lou Yi’s disappearing figure with a cold smile, "Just a dying struggle, he won’t run far. Everyone, search inside!"
