Chapter 874: The Reclusive Master

Yi, a resounding name.

And when the Ionians call this name, they often add an honorific to the end - master.

The son of a blacksmith born in the mountain village of Baru'e is remembered as the Infinite Sword Master, and no matter which poem is about the Battle of Ionia, the Infinite Sword Master is an inescapable figure.

When he was younger, Yi wasn't strong — on the contrary, he looked thin compared to the other teenagers.

Because of the legend of those swordsmen who did chivalrous things in the name of swords, Yi insisted on exercising since he was a child and successfully joined the Wuji Sword Sect.

Among the disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect, Yi's talent didn't seem too outstanding—but because of his terrifying perseverance and self-discipline, he finally stood out from the crowd.

Yi longed for the distance, but the elders of the Wuji Sword Sect told him that "the best sword is here", and then refused his request to leave - the Dao of Wuji regarded itself as a solitary sage when the sect was founded, and their swordsmanship could not see the turbid world, let alone dirty blood, so for hundreds of years, Wuji has always been isolated from the world, lonely, and no outsider has ever seen it.

Anyone who leaves voluntarily will be stripped of their identity as a Sword Sect.

So, Yi practiced his swordsmanship in this small Infinite Sword Sect until the arrival of the Noxian invaders.

One province after another fell, village after village was destroyed, and the footsteps of the Noxian invaders seemed to step on Yi's heart—and finally, Yi left the Sword Sect.

When the Noxians attacked the province of Barou, Yi faced his first battle, which was a complete Noxian vanguard army.

In that battle, Yi activated his plateau bloodline, and under the long sword, thousands of troops were changed.

The Noxus commander who led the team was cut into two pieces by the sword qi that broke into the body at the moment when Yi Chang's sword was unsheathed, and then, ordinary soldiers couldn't see Yi's figure clearly, when Yi rushed into the battle formation alone, the panicked Noxians blindly raised their swords, but they could only hurt the friendly soldiers around them, and they didn't even touch Yi's hair!

In this way, Yi single-handedly defeated the entire Noxian vanguard army.

Of course, there is always a price to pay for the battle, and although Yi's body is difficult to capture, the Noxians' subsequent shooting at Yi despite casualties also caused him some trouble, and Yi was also scarred after the battle.

At this time, Yi finally realized that the strength of individuals in the war is still limited - it is okay to fight a thousand enemies, but what if one enemy is ten thousand?

I'm afraid I'm going to die of exhaustion among the Noxians, right?

After hastily bandaging his wounds, Yi returned to the Sword Sect, where he persuaded the Elders, and then took all the young disciples of the Sword Sect and threw himself into the vigorous battle for the defense of Ionia.

Since then, the Navoli guerrillas have added a special figure, accompanied by swords, charging forward in battle, moving among the Noxians with their swiftness, acting as the guerrillas' sharpest blade.

It was also from then on that the name of Infinite Kendo quickly spread throughout Ionia.

Soon, the Noxians learned of the news, and under the transfer of Svein, the main force of Noxus began to rush towards Presidian, while at the same time, a detachment of divisions secretly entered the province of Barou'e and destroyed the Infinite Sword Sect - Yi took all the young swordsmen, and the Infinite Sword Sect guarded the emptiness.

At the last moment, the elders of the Sword Sect refused the Noxians' request to "recall" the swordsmen of the Infinite Sword Sect, and a group of old men picked up their long swords again.

Perhaps these elders are experienced in teaching their disciples—but in terms of combat effectiveness, they are long past the age of fighting with the sword.

In this way, the elders of the Infinite Sword Sect went to their deaths, and the entire Infinite Sword Sect was burned.

Under Svein's control, news reached Presidium - when Svein thought he had a great advantage and wanted to encircle the Ionians, in order to provoke the Ionians, he collected the swords of all the elders of the Infinite Sword Sect, and then claimed to use them to complete the decapitation of the Ionian captives.

The malevolent plan was the last straw that angered the Ionians, and with the support of the Infinite Swordsmen, Irelia and Karma announced a surprise attack - Irelia led the assault force to attack, while Kalmar assisted them and pacified the restless Darkspawn Soul of Varus.

In the battle of Presidium, the united Ionian Transcendents dealt the most severe blow to the confident Svein, and all the battle trends went according to Svein's plan, and the Ionians abandoned their strongest fortress of Presidium and took the initiative to attack the Navoli line.

Just as Svein thought, the Infinite Swordsmen were indeed carried away by hatred, and when they lost their composure, they suffered terrible battle damage for the first time - except for Yi, the other twenty-eight Infinite Swordsmen in the assault team were all killed on the battlefield, and before they died, they took the lives of at least tens of thousands of Noxian soldiers.

Although the death of tens of thousands of elites was also very heavy for Noxus, in Svein's opinion, it was completely too late - the Ionians who had lost their swordsmen had no ability to break into formation, and sooner or later they would be surrounded and strangled by their own flanks!

However, Svein guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end.

Yi waited until the end.

Anger brings impulses—and Yi, suppresses his own impulses.

Yi Xin was cut by the death of his fellow disciples, and he could not use words to persuade his brothers and sisters who had lost their homes and hometowns to stay calm, but at such a moment, what he could do was to suppress the urge to make himself a sharp blade and pierce the heart of the Noxians!

In pain, Yi waited for the last chance.

When Noxus began to press the whole army to close the siege, the flaw that Yi had been expecting appeared—and at the same time, Varus temporarily became the most powerful flank of the Ionians, and the rain of corrupt arrows directly crushed Svein's flank encirclement plan!

At this moment, Irelia led a 100-man commando team straight into the formation, and Yi was the sharpest knife in this team!

The Way of Infinity!

Yi Yi, who rushed into the crowd, was a sword, and in the midst of the raging Noxian crowd, he was stunned to split a path - an uninhabited passage suddenly appeared in the entire battlefield, as if the rough sea had been cut in two by a sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Irelia also completed the most gorgeous Blade Dance.

Since then, Yi has become Master Yi - and no one has seen his wizened figure again.

And now, Akali gently knocked on the familiar practice knocker.

The door of the cabin opened without wind, and then a sword flash flashed.

The shadow soldiers who pursued Akali lost their shadows in this sword light.
