Chapter 1631: Chapter 879: Retreating a Hundred Miles (Part 2)

Lin Feng shouted loudly: "Return my general’s life to me!"

Three or five people rode their horses towards Lin Feng, charging at him.

Their sharp weapons were brandished, and it seemed they wanted to dismember Lin Feng. The anger and despair reflected in their eyes showed their desperation.

At this moment, Qian Hua and Qian Yue galloped through the formation, executing a beautiful Rainfall Soul-shocking Sword, instantly killing a deputy general.

Several others had already prepared for a fight to the death.

They still charged towards Lin Feng, completely ignoring the attacks on them from the side.

Lin Feng, at this moment, maintained his stance without moving a bit.

He wanted to see if these foreigners would truly reach him.

These people still had some sense of loyalty. Although they could have temporarily saved their lives, they chose to come forward and meet their deaths.

"I only hope that in your next life, you will not harm living beings."

Lin Feng’s thought flickered, and he left his horse. With the Void Technique, he appeared behind the charging enemy general, unleashed a sword light, and the enemy general’s horse continued to run forward, its furious eyes still staring at Lin Feng’s previous position.

But now, only a warhorse remained at that position, and Lin Feng’s figure was nowhere to be seen. Then the general felt his body being slashed from behind by a sword light, and he died instantly on the horse, blood splattering into the air.

Just like that, as the last person was about to reach Lin Feng, he was slain from his horse by a sword from Qian Hua.

Among the thousand troops in Peace City, they saw Lin Feng achieve victory.

They then began to shout loudly.

"General Lin Feng won, we won!"

The soldiers cheered jubilantly. The formation that had been silent now released all the tension from the finished battle, as everyone realized they were truly in a war.

At this optimal moment, Wu Fa shouted powerfully to the army, his voice was strong and inspiring.

From his warhorse, Wu Fa raised his Treasure Sword high.

With a full-throat roar towards the vast sky.

"For the peace of the Human Realm, for Peace City which raised us, charge!"

The thousand troops moved like an endless legion of victory, as if formed by thousands and thousands of soldiers, the Human Realm army.

They charged towards the three thousand troops on the opposite side.

Facing such a strong force of a thousand troops, the three thousand Desolate Realm soldiers, having lost their general, fled in disarray, abandoning their armor.

Lin Feng gave them no chance.

He charged into the formation, followed closely by his troops. They began slaughtering their way through.

This battle from start to finish lasted no more than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The hundred-thousand-soldier army on the desert did not move, despite facing massacres by the thousand troops.

They watched helplessly as their three thousand vanguard were completely wiped out by Lin Feng’s organized force.

Under the vast firmament, another perfect note was written.

Wu Fa killed the last person among the three thousand Desolate Realm enemy troops.

Following everyone’s gaze, he looked over.

The black mass of soldiers in the front began to withdraw gradually.

They withdrew nearly a hundred li, before setting up camp.

Lin Feng and others did not immediately return to Peace City. They saw countless streaks of light surging out from the hillside, constantly bombarding the desert, kicking up clouds of dust.

"It was actually the Six Great Sects that had emerged."

Lin Feng then understood why the hundred-thousand-soldier army made no move earlier.

They already knew that the Six Great Sects were lying in ambush nearby. Indeed, as they expected, just after the thousand troops of Lin Feng annihilated the Desolate Realm vanguard, the Six Great Sects ambushed and attacked.

The sudden charge of the Six Great Sects was noticed by the Desolate Realm army, but they didn’t know their numbers or when they would attack their army.

So when the Six Great Sects truly started their offensive on the formation, they quickly retreated to the vast desert behind. Not until they moved a hundred li away did they stop.

Lin Feng suddenly understood, immediately riding his warhorse towards the troops of the Six Great Sects.

The members of the Six Great Sects charged down the mountain, saw the Desolate Realm army retreat, and ceased their pursuit.

Lin Feng reached them, and the Sect Leaders came forward to greet him.

A breathtakingly beautiful woman, Shui Xiu, flew towards where Lin Feng stood.

When her feet hit the ground, she walked gracefully towards Lin Feng.

With a smile in her eyes, graceful and pleasant.

"I do not know which noble person the General is, I, Qiu Nongying, the Sect Leader of Phoenix Cliff, pay my respects."

Seeing she was the Sect Leader of Phoenix Cliff, Lin Feng immediately returned the courtesy.

And said to Qiu Nongying, "I am an ordinary, nameless person, just a teacher in Peace City. Sect Leader Qiu need not be so courteous."

Lin Feng’s words were evidently too humble, even excessively understated. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Just then, since the great battle had subsided, the Innate Spiritual Seed no longer needed to provide spiritual power to Lin Feng.

With some leisure, seeing Lin Feng’s internal aura had stabilized, Hua Shengmi sighed with relief and said to Lin Feng:

"How come in the morning you told others you’re the Sect Leader of Star-Gazing Pavilion, and now you’re claiming to be a nameless teacher, an ordinary person."

Hua Shengmi’s words clearly teased Lin Feng.

Lin Feng gave a faint smile and sent his thoughts to Hua Shengmi.

"Identity is but a fleeting name, how many battles for power and profit have arisen for it. The responsibility for peace in the Human Realm cannot rely solely on a title. How can the Righteous Path persist?"

Lin Feng’s words were reasonable, and Hua Shengmi did not argue.

At this point, Hua Shengmi could only wish Lin Feng well on a historic victory, winning more time for the peace of the Human Realm.

After speaking with Hua Shengmi, Lin Feng’s mood did not relax.

Lin Feng knew that now was not the time to become complacent, facing the vast 100,000-strong Desolate Realm army.

If he were to be overly joyous about such an initial victory, forgetful of himself.

When the 100,000 army assembles, how could Lin Feng and his troops resist?

Though he couldn’t relax, Lin Feng tried to ease his own mind.

A cultivator must maintain a calm mind to wield the sword across the world.

For those who wield the sword, their resolve must be as steadfast as a rock, their intent as straight as the Sword Heart.

A righteous heart that holds the principles of all things, a calm mind thus acts steadfastly.

In the vast world, among all living things, this is what the Heavenly Dao entails.

After Sect Leader Phoenix Cliff spoke with Lin Feng, a chubby man suddenly emerged from the Six Great Sects.

His appearance was kind, and his eyes shone with a shrewd intelligence.

He called to Lin Feng: "You seem to be a man of righteousness."

Lin Feng looked over to see a chubby uncle, realizing it was the Squad Leader of Phantom Pavilion he had met earlier that morning in the woods outside the city.

The chubby uncle bowed to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng returned the greeting politely: "Are you comforting me, Lin Feng?"

The chubby uncle awkwardly replied: "Not at all, being here already exceeds our expectations. Did you know we’ve been waiting on the hillside for several days without seeing any Court reinforcements? As we resigned to a last stand with the bandits, you came and defeated the enemy. We admire you deeply and are grateful for your help."
