Chapter 76 Combat
After a while, Li Wei stopped what he was doing. He had realized that Amlodi Skasen Skasenson, who was covered in wounds, had completely fallen into a coma.
He suddenly turned around, spun around, and threw the unconscious Wolf Lord towards the open grassy area of the Phoenix Cliff Library.
He'd already wasted enough time; he needed to lure away the enraged Space Wolf Warriors at the entrance of the Grand Library.
As expected, as soon as he threw out the unconscious Wolf Lord, the Space Wolf Warriors at the library entrance howled and chased after him.
Seeing this, Li Weigang was about to lead his thousand warriors into the magnificent ancient library of the Ida people, which they had spent half a day trying to enter.
Then a furious roar was heard; it was the voice of Leman Ruth, the Primarch of the Space Wolf.
"Li Wei, how dare you lay a hand on my men!"
The furious roar grew louder and louder as it approached.
"Huh?" Li Wei suddenly stopped in his tracks, a flash of purple lightning around him, and he dodged Leman Russ's full-force attack with a loud bang.
Li Wei, who quickly distanced himself, stared with lingering fear at the spot where he had stood. There, on the ground, was a large crater emitting a faint wisp of smoke.
The Thousand Sons warriors who were originally standing next to Li Wei were blasted away by the huge shockwave, their cries of agony filling the air.
Leman Russ, clad in wolf-gray power armor, slowly rose from the crater, his sharp, wolf-like blue eyes fixed on Li Wei as he roared:
"Levi, the chief of the Thousand Sons! How dare you ambush my subordinate Amrodi! You coward hiding behind psionic power! If you have the guts, fight me for real! Don't just bully my warriors!"
Li Wei did not reply, but first confirmed that the Thousand Sons warrior who was blown away by the shockwave was just dizzy and howling in pain, but was not in any danger of death.
He then turned his gaze back to the sharp blue eyes of Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolf, and found that there was no sign of rage in them.
"It seems that the infamous wolf king of Space Wolves is not the mindless and crazy person he is rumored to be," Li Wei thought to himself.
Combining the fact that Leman Russ had deliberately avoided most of the Thousand Sons warriors with his clear and restrained gaze, he realized that the Leman Russ who was often misunderstood as irritable and bloodthirsty was not a real brute, but a wise man who pretended to be insane to maintain the legion's dignity.
However, Lehman Russ's sneak attack just now was relentless; it was a desperate attempt to severely injure him and stuff him into the Terminator mech. Li Wei was utterly enraged.
Even if Leman Russ is the son of the Emperor and the Primarch of the Space Wolf, he still wants to beat Leman Russ down and vent his anger at being ambushed earlier.
"What? Not saying anything?" Leman Russ raised an eyebrow when he saw that Levi remained silent.
"Heh!" Li Wei sneered, his spiritual energy surging around him, and said, word by word, "Does Leman Russ dare to fight me one-on-one, life or death?"
"You..." Lehmann Russ, who had been waiting for this moment and hadn't expected Levi to say it, paused for a moment, then slowly drew out his words:
"You... are not worthy. You are just a small chief think tank of Qianzi, not worthy of my personal intervention."
Before Li Wei could even retort, he changed the subject and continued:
"I've already tested your strength. You actually dodged my full-force attack. As for a one-on-one fight? You win. After all, an ant isn't worth my effort."
Riemann Russ said this casually, yet very seriously, as if it were his true inner thoughts.
These words stunned Li Wei, leaving him speechless. Even the anger in his heart dissipated instantly, leaving him numb.
In particular, Riemann Russ's last words were tinged with contempt, but Levi knew this was Riemann Russ's usual style of speaking, and he didn't find it offensive.
The main problem was that the infamous Leman Russ was actually praising him, which made him feel both amused and exasperated, and he didn't know how to handle the situation.
But should I just let it go after almost being crippled by Leman Ruth? Or should I disregard my status, relentlessly pursue and force a war against Leman Ruth, who is the Primarch? Would that be a losing proposition?
Li Wei, somewhat bewildered, was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to advance or retreat.
Just then, Magnus's steady voice rang out.
"My brother Ruth, I can't stop you from accepting the Aida's surrender; that's your prerogative. But we, the Thousand Sons, also contributed to this united war, and we have the right to dispose of some of the Aida's spoils."
Magnus, dressed in a golden scholar's robe and carrying the heavy Book of Magnus at his waist, walks from a distance.
Magnus naturally saw the confrontation between Levi and Leman Russ, but he did not immediately retaliate or forcefully vent his anger on behalf of his chief. Instead, he first brought the issue of the distribution of the spoils of war by the Imperial Alliance to the forefront.
Before Riemann Russ could speak, he continued:
"Since your men couldn't defend the library of knowledge that the Ida people possess, and you won't let us take it either, then let's fight it out and decide who owns it."
As he said this, his gaze fell on Li Wei, the chief think tank member.
Magnus's conversation was not only about preserving the Great Library of the Idaians at Phoenix Cliff, but also about venting Livy's anger.
Li Wei is Qianzi's chief think tank member and his right-hand man. He can't let outsiders bully him, even if it's his own brother.
"Good!" Upon hearing Magnus's words, the hot-tempered Lehmann Russ immediately became interested, slapped his thigh, and said, "Magnus, just what I want. Let's have a fight."
Afterwards, they walked one after another to the open square in front of the Phoenix Cliff Library.
Boom!
In an instant, Magnus took to the air first, his crimson psionic fireball shooting out in all directions.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Leman Russ laughed wildly as he charged left and right amidst the raging flames, dodging Magnus's violent and destructive inferno.
Then he looked up at Magnus in the sky and let out a deafening wolf howl.
Magnus's psionic flames, which sustained his flight, trembled, nearly causing him to fall from mid-air. Left with no choice, he landed on the ground and engaged in close-quarters combat with Leman Russ.
Li Wei stood beneath the golden corridor of the Great Library, directing the Thousand Sons to quickly pack up the ancient books while observing the battle between the two Primarchs.
His eyes, etched with purple lines, dissected and analyzed the fierce battlefield before him, and he thought to himself:
"Lehman Russ is indeed formidable. He has already begun to awaken the essence of the warp. Not only has his strength and speed been greatly amplified under the enhancement of the warp essence, but his warp essence can also interfere with or even suppress psionic energy to a certain extent."
As for whether Magnus would lose, Li Wei was not worried.
After all, Magnus had already begun to awaken the nature of the warp, so even if he was suppressed by Riemann Russ's warp nature, he would not be at a disadvantage.
Li Wei watched silently for a while, but in his mind he was thinking about the route of the Thousand Sons' next great expedition.
"It seems we need to plan ahead."
Although the Thousand Sons had already altered the predetermined future, the hostility of many legions towards the think tank, or rather, towards psionicists, was too deeply ingrained.
Therefore, Qianzi must win over more allies to prepare for the Nikaia Conference, which will inevitably convene in the future to abolish the think tank and prohibit Qianzi from using psychic powers.
