Ye Li's figure had just appeared on the ground behind the five people, and eight thunder chains were shaking horizontally around his body.
The bodies of the five people had now been broken into two and scattered on the ground.
Dongfang Caiyi, who was standing behind, couldn't help but have her pupils shrink when she saw this scene, and she was shocked.
Although the scene in front of him seemed a little cruel, he knew that Ye Li killed them in order to save them, so he naturally would not think that Ye Li was vicious.
Enduring the intense discomfort, Dongfang Caiyi walked through the broken pieces of the five bodies and approached Ye Li. It was not until this moment that she truly realized what Ye Li had done.
Ye Li actually killed five talisman masters in the late gestation period in a single instant.
Although fighting against opponents of higher levels is not uncommon for the elites of the Imperial City, Ye Li's feat of killing five people in an instant was still so shocking that she couldn't help but look at him sideways.
"Did you just break through the thunder sound barrier?"
Dongfang Caiyi had already come to Ye Li and asked.
Ye Li felt very uncomfortable because of the pain caused by the huge amount of shock force he was subjected to.
However, after hearing Dongfang Caiyi's question, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I did break through the Thunder Sound Barrier just now.
The five of them were standing in the perfect position, and because they underestimated the enemy and did not prioritize releasing defensive spells for themselves, I had the opportunity to fight one against five and kill them."
Actual combat is often very different from a ring fight, and that is, the combat situation changes too quickly, and many times it is impossible to prepare each other before fighting like in a ring fight.
Just like the situation just now, if the five people had prepared in advance and cast defensive talismans on themselves, and then fought against Ye Li, it would have been difficult for Ye Li to win, let alone kill the opponent.
However, the other party obviously thought that since there were five of them on their side, there was no need to waste time on casting defensive spells. It would be better for them to work together to intercept Ye Li first.
If they could intercept Ye Li, with the combined attack of five people, Ye Li would have no chance to attack at all and could only defend passively.
But reality is reality. They underestimated Ye Li's maximum burst speed, so all their attacks fell short. Ye Li also took advantage of the opportunity and used the Thunder Chain at maximum speed to cut them in half.
Dongfang Caiyi could naturally understand the change. She nodded and said, "Although it was a bit accidental, your strength is indeed much stronger than before. If you didn't have this kind of strength, you would not have been able to seize the opportunity just now."
Ye Li would feel a little embarrassed when hearing other people's praise, but for some reason, when he heard Dongfang Caiyi's praise this time, Ye Li couldn't help but feel happy, and his face was full of joy.
As they were talking, the bandits rushed out from the shortcut they had taken, rushing towards them like a flood.
However, just as they were about to approach the two people, they suddenly saw a pile of corpses scattered on the ground. The people in the front rows hurriedly stopped and wanted to lean back with horror on their faces.
The people behind didn't see the situation on this side, and they were still full of fighting spirit and wanted to squeeze forward. As a result, the people in front who were desperately retreating were pushed, and they staggered and fell to the ground, causing chaos.
At this time, the gang members finally saw the situation in front of them clearly. The leader's body scattered on the ground made the group of people feel weak in their feet.
Even though they have always lived a life on the edge of a knife and are accustomed to life and death, they don't want to be the ones to die.
"They killed five leaders. Don't mess with that guy!"
I don't know who shouted this, but the remaining gang members suddenly lost their courage and began to think about retreating.
No one knew who ran away first, but amid the shouting, the group turned around and ran away in ten breaths.
Seeing the other party rushing out at the fastest speed and running away at the fastest speed, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh. This scene was really funny.
Although Dongfang Caiyi did not laugh out loud, there was a hint of smile in her eyes that could not be concealed.
When she was with Ye Li, she seemed to have really shed all her coldness.
Seeing that all the gang members had left the forest, Ye Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If so many people had come to kill them all at once, it would have taken them a lot of effort to get rid of them all.
After taking a look at the forest nearby, Ye Li said, "Miss Dongfang, let's leave here first. I have a bonfire in front, we can go over there to rest. What do you think?"
Dongfang Caiyi looked at the sky and saw that the moon was already very high in the sky, so she nodded and replied "OK".
Knowing that the gangsters no longer had the courage to provoke them again, the two of them walked at a slower pace. They walked forward at a leisurely pace, facing the moonlight in the sky.
The moonlight fell on Dongfang Caiyi, making her look like a goddess carved out of white jade. Ye Li glanced at her inadvertently and couldn't take his eyes away.
Feeling Ye Li's somewhat obsessed gaze, Dongfang Caiyi blushed unconsciously and lowered her head shyly. At this moment, she seemed to have lost her previous coldness and was no different from an ordinary woman.
The two of them walked forward in the moonlight without any conversation along the way. It was not because they had nothing to talk about, but because Ye Li's attention was on Dongfang Caiyi, while Dongfang Caiyi's attention was on the ground.
After a lot of effort, the two finally walked out of the forest. Another small forest not far ahead was where Ye Li had rested before.
After the two of them walked into the woods, Ye Li finally recovered from his previous state. He stopped staring at Dongfang Caiyi and quickly walked to the campfire.
Because he had been away for too long, the bonfire had almost completely gone out, and Ye Li had to rekindle the flame.
Ye Li asked Dongfang Caiyi to sit down and have a rest first. He also heated up the game that had just been grilled next to him.
He asked Dongfang Caiyi if she wanted to eat some. Dongfang Caiyi looked at the greasy barbecue in his hand, shook her head and refused.
She also brought out some cold food such as vegetables, fruits and melons. After rejecting Ye Li, she started eating by herself.
Ye Li didn't think anything of it when he saw Dongfang Caiyi didn't eat his barbecue. After all, such a large piece of greasy barbecue was indeed not suitable for girls to eat.
It was hard for anyone, including himself, to imagine what it would look like for Dongfang Caiyi, dressed in white, to hold a roasted animal leg and chew on it.
