The Wizard: Grinding Experience Starting with Knight Breathing Techniques 89

Li Wei initially planned to barge in.

He sensed around, but didn’t detect the presence of a Great Knight.

To be safe, Li Wei decided to first capture a small fry and question him.

In a dark alley.

Li Wei’s hand clamped around the small fry’s neck, pinning him to the wall.

The small fry struggled incessantly, to no avail. He was like a chick in Li Wei’s grasp, weak and helpless, but not pitiable.

After all, the sword in his hand was stolen from Li Wei’s blacksmith shop.

Only a coward who bullies the weak, his death was not a pity!

“How many people are inside?” Li Wei asked.

The small fry was terrified; the man before him was too powerful.

Even his infinitely admired Bloodhand boss seemed insignificant before this terrifying aura.

If the Bloodhand boss was a terrifying aristocratic fighting dog, then the man before him was a true wild desert scorpion!

Overbearing, powerful, and full of intimidation!

“If you don’t speak, then die.” Li Wei prepared to snap the man’s neck.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, don’t kill me, there are thirty-six people inside,” the small fry said.

“Is the Bloodhand boss there?”

“Yes.”

“Who else?”

“There are also two knights even more terrifying than the Bloodhand boss, and a bigwig from the inner city, but the bigwig is wearing a mask, we don’t know who it is.”

“I see.”

“Are you done asking? Please, don’t kill me… I don’t want to die, I’ve never killed anyone, I just want to make a living, to support my family.”

The small fry begged, his eyes filled with fear.

Li Wei killed the small fry.

He picked up the weapons they had stolen from his blacksmith shop.

“That bigwig is most likely Maka.”

“Those two knights stronger than the Bloodhand boss must be Maka’s bodyguards. They should both be high-level Knights. Under normal circumstances, unless a Great Knight arrives, Maka should be safe and sound.”

“Unfortunately, I’m here.”

Li Wei prepared his spellcasting materials in advance.

Then he infiltrated the winery.

Under the cover of night, the killing began.

Most of the Bloodhand Gang members were ordinary people; there weren’t many knight attendants, just a rabble.

Li Wei’s Black Snake dagger easily claimed life after life.

Immediately, the Bloodhand Gang’s base was thrown into chaos.

“There’s an assassin!”

“Where?”

“Quickly find the Bloodhand boss!”

In the darkness, Li Wei, wearing the Deathbird mask, slaughtered wantonly.

Soon, only the Scarface man remained before Li Wei.

The others either fled or died, scattering like birds and beasts.

“Who are you…?” Scarface stammered, his hand holding the sword trembling uncontrollably.

Li Wei thrust his sword through Scarface’s throat.

Before he died, Li Wei whispered in Scarface’s ear, “Protection money, was it enjoyable collecting it?”

*Psh!*

Scarface fell to the ground, his eyes wide open in disbelief before death.

It was him… the big guy from the blacksmith shop.

How could he be so powerful?

Why would such a powerful person be a blacksmith?

At this time, the Bloodhand boss, having heard the commotion outside, was already blocking the entrance to the winery’s cellar with a giant axe.

There was a secret passage in the cellar leading outside the city.

Currently, the rebels were frantically searching for the ministers who were closest to the Fist of the Empire.

Maka was one of them!

He hadn’t gone to the inner city that day, leaving behind his enormous wealth and the Dragon Saliva Fragrance statue without a second thought.

Under the protection of two high-level Knights, he went directly to the outer city district.

He found one of his chess pieces planted in the outer city: the Bloodhand boss.

The Bloodhand boss heard the commotion outside.

He came to block the incoming enemy.

“Buddy, trespassing on someone else’s territory is really bad manners.”

The Bloodhand boss swung his axe at Li Wei.

Li Wei didn’t want to waste time, he didn’t bother with pleasantries.

A mountain-splitting, aura-overwhelming Golden Cross Slash blasted through the void, the air currents scattering the Bloodhand boss’s hair.

A large head fell to the ground.

“Just a mid-level Knight, too weak.”

Li Wei kicked the head away and casually searched the Bloodhand boss’s body.

Besides a few insignificant gold coins, there was nothing that interested Li Wei.

What good things could this kind of trash from the Bloodhand Gang possibly have?

Li Wei didn’t delay, he entered the cellar.

Two burly men attacked immediately.

“Damn Deathbird’s voice! Persistent ghost!”

The burly men cursed.

“What’s there to fear? We’ve killed quite a few assassins today, brothers.” Another one sneered.

Li Wei’s muscles swelled, black energy filled the air, and white smoke rose.

The two brothers were the same; their years of cooperation, plus their high-level Knight cultivation.

Allowed them to contend with peak Knights without falling behind.

Since the attacker wasn’t a Great Knight, they naturally weren’t afraid.

However, they probably didn’t know that there was one person in this world.

Below Great Knight he was invincible, above Great Knight he couldn’t afford to fight.

After all, he liked… playing it safe.

“Die!”

Frost’s Sorrow roared under the power of Ripple.

Li Wei was like a human-shaped war machine, black energy as engine oil, white smoke as steam, and Frost’s Sorrow as a chainsaw sword!

If Frost’s Sorrow had a spirit!

Its spirit would be overjoyed right now!

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

A terrifying impact exploded in the underground cellar.

The two high-level Knights retreated steadily before Li Wei’s frenzied Golden Cross Slash!

The intermediate Ripple power was too strong.

Combined with the third generation of Frost’s Sorrow!

Li Wei’s ability to cut through metal became increasingly obvious.

Soon, the two high-level Knights’ weapons were overwhelmed!

They were forced into a corner by Li Wei.

“Let’s fight to the death!”

Ignoring Li Wei’s slash, one of the high-level Knights, after being pierced by Frost’s Sorrow, desperately clung to Li Wei’s right hand, preventing him from wielding his sword.

The other high-level Knight seized the opportunity, raising his chipped and cracked greatsword to strike at Li Wei.

Li Wei’s left hand, which had been forming seals behind his back, struck out, accompanied by the completion of Li Wei’s last syllable.

“Boom!”

Art is an explosion!

A blazing stream of flame erupted!

The flames engulfed the charging high-level Knight.

He howled in pain within the flames.

Li Wei threw away the knight who was clinging to him; he was already dead.

Then he cleaved the burning knight in two with a single strike.

He was short on time and didn’t bother to check if these two would drop any good loot.

He entered through the cellar’s only secret passage.

…

In the wilderness, Maka crawled out of a hidden hole, his face covered in dirt, gasping for breath, his old face extremely disheveled.

“Damn it! Why! How did it suddenly become like this?”

Maka roared in frustration.

His daughter, the beloved wife of the Fist of the Empire, had died in the rebels’ attack.

Therefore, the furious Fist of the Empire was now hunting the rebels throughout the city.

Maka was now alone, waiting for someone to rescue him and take him away from the Holy City.

The silver moon was lonely in the wilderness, and the low growl of wild animals echoed.

A majestic figure appeared before Maka at some point; he wore a Deathbird mask, silent and still.

“If you want money, I can give you unimaginable wealth.”

“If you want power, as long as you let me go, I will have the Fist of the Empire teach you the strongest fighting techniques.”

“If you want power and women, I can satisfy you.”

“You’re just an assassin who sells his life for money, why are you so persistent in killing me?”

Maka tried to persuade Li Wei.

*Psh!*

Maka’s head fell to the ground, Li Wei tore off Maka’s luxurious clothes and wrapped the head.

“Spit! I just want you dead!”
