Li Siye

Li Siye considers himself Wang Chong's bodyguard and closest follower.

He will come to be the publicly acknowledged number one vanguard of Great Tang. Among future great generals, the one whom Wang Chong wanted most as a vassal was him, but achieving this would be no easy task.

The reason why Wang Chong brought Li Siye over wasn't to subordinate and restrict him, but to aid him in reaching heights he had never achieved in his previous life.

Not only would Wang Chong pair him with a Wootz steel sword perfect for his build, he would also have the sturdiest armor forged for him, as well as gift him the best of steeds!

Temporarily acted as the commander of the Wushang Cavalry, until Cui Piaoqi took over. As for Li Siye, in another time and space, he had always been the highest commander of the Mo Saber Unit. It was only Li Siye’s fearless and loyal heart that could unite the will of the Mo Saber Unit and have it display its maximum power.

## Appearance

From the back of his steed, Wang Chong was able to see past the crowd from his higher point of view. At the entrance of the Deflecting Blade Manor, he saw a man powerfully-built like a bear blocking the entrance. He had never seen such a man with such a huge physique before. Iron-like muscles were bulging from his body, creating a formidable presence. Before him, everyone seemed no different from a child standing in front of an adult.

Wang Chong was astonished to discover that Li Siye is at least 2.2 meters tall. Even if one were to search throughout Great Tang, it would be difficult to find a person with a height of 2 meters, needless to say 2.2 meters! His enormous physique complemented by powerful disposition, giving others the impression of indomitability.

**Mountain River Cyclic Slash** - chapter 787

A black storm surged into the sky, and in the midst of this storm was a stream of saber energy that extended into the heavens, twenty-some zhang tall. The massive stream of saber energy paused in the air for a moment, and then it slashed down.

**Five Hells God-Devil Slash (ch-1766)** - Li Siye raised his sword high in the air, vast streams of energy converging upon it. Not only that, the area around Li Siye suddenly became host to a Yin Yang diagram. To the left of Li Siye, the world darkened, and an ancient god more than twenty feet tall appeared. Its armor was in complete tatters on one side, but completely perfect on the other. So dreadful and fierce was its aura that it instilled fear in anyone who looked at it. To his right, another muscular god of twenty-some feet appeared, its aura bright and blazing, but its face that of a savage devil. At the feet of the god and devil were a sea of white bones.

## Items

**Wootz Steel Sword** - chapter 404

Wang Chong had diligently and personally forged this weapon for Li Siye. It was made with four pieces of Hyderaband ore and covered in sharpness, toughness, and dexterity inscriptions. A total of 72 inscriptions were added for the cost of one million taels of gold. The strength of this sword has surpassed anything Wang Chong has forged before. In terms of both weight and sharpness, it far exceeded any other Wootz Steel sword.

A giant longsword, two meters long, wrapped in shark skin. The black sheath was not embedded with jewels. It was pitch-black with a few simple lines of gold filigree. Though it had not been extravagantly decorated, it seemed to exude an extreme magnificence!

**Meteoric Metal Armor** - chapter 455

A full suit of armor made of Meteoric Metal, that was further strengthened with many toughening inscriptions.

## Past Life

That was a man who had definitely left a thick stroke in the history of Great Tang. During the era when countless great generals filled the skies of Great Tang, bringing it to the height of its prosperity, he had shone with the brightest radiance, winning him the respect of both his peers and the masses.

Out of all the generals of the Central Plains, he would be the only one with no knowledge of military tactics or strategy. Yet, based on just his personal achievements, he would be conferred the title of a ‘great general’. His standing in the military and Great Tang’s history, despite never leading an army, would be comparable to that of Zhang Shougui, Go Seonji, Fumeng Lingcha, and those others of the first tier.

Without overwhelming individual strength, background, and qualifications, especially in commanding a powerful army, it was impossible for one to be conferred such a title. Regardless of whether it was Wang Yan, Yao Guang Yi, or the other Conferred Generals, they had all failed to reach the position of ‘great general’. To be able to be conferred as the ‘Invincible Great General’ through just courage and strength alone, Li Siye’s prowess was nearly unimaginable.

In the history of the empire, there were very few who had managed to climb to the position of Great General, and those who did were all masters of warfare. It should have been impossible for anyone to obtain that esteemed position with just brute strength and valiance, but Li Siye had broken this convention!

In the long history of Great Tang, he was the only one who had managed to become a Great General based on his superior martial arts, putting him on equal standing with Fumeng Lingcha, Go Seonji, Geshu Han, Zhang Shougui, Zhangchou Jianqiong, and the others.

While he was still beneath the others in terms of influence and prestige, it was still an unassailable fact that he had become one of the esteemed Great Generals of Great Tang! Part of this could be attributed to his charisma. Despite his lack of understanding of warfare, his incredible might and valiance allowed him to single-handedly raise the morale of an entire army, granting them the momentum to reverse a dire situation!

"When Li Siye stands, the empire stands!"

"So long as Li Siye is undefeated, the empire is infallible!"

His ferocious roars that echo throughout the battlefields bring courage to his allies and fear to his enemies. His presence was the cornerstone of the army. No matter how strong an enemy they faced, no matter how dire a situation stood before them, Li Siye's army always stood unwaveringly. The army he commanded was as fierce as he was, and they always stood as the infallible fortress halting the progress of their enemy, bringing hope to those they protected.

There was none in history who were like him, influencing the morale of an entire army based on just valor in itself, turning the soldiers who pursued him into unstoppable berserkers of the battlefield! Through this, he reversed the tides of the battle, bringing seemingly impossible victories to Great Tang time after time again, thus eventually giving rise to the title of his conferment, "Invincible Great General"! Li Siye might not understand warfare, but his incredible strength he commanded allowed him to neglect any warfare and crush his enemies in a direct confrontation.

History’s evaluation of him here in Great Tang would come to be: The man whom, through his courage and individual strength, across large-scale fields of battle, is able to determine the war’s final outcome! A one-of-a-kind evaluation!

Li Siye’s battle style was to charge straight ahead without ever retreating, regardless of how powerful the enemies standing in his path were. This could perhaps be viewed as a reflection of his valor, but it would afflict his body with innumerable glaring scars, medals to his many victories.
