Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 85: Chapter 085: The Empire’s Great Army

“Bang, bang, bang!”

In the valley, the sound of fierce battle collisions resounded, the overpowering True Yuan power spreading in all directions like a wild wind.

The ones fighting were none other than Feng Wuchen, Liu Qingyang, and Miao Qingqing.

Feng Wuchen was facing two opponents alone, engaging in intense combat with them.

Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing’s sword techniques were powerful, and their coordination was in perfect harmony. Together, they were a match even for a Seventh Level practitioner of the Transformative Realm.

Facing their sharp attacks, Feng Wuchen remained calm and composed, not falling into a disadvantage at all.

...

Apart from training, Feng Wuchen sparred with them and offered his guidance. Over several days, their understanding of the sword technique deepened, and their combat experience improved rapidly.

“Brother Feng, be careful not to get hit by me!” Liu Qingyang said with a bit of pride as he launched fierce attacks.

But as his voice fell and his sword thrust forth, Feng Wuchen suddenly vanished with a strange flicker.

“Instant movement!” Liu Qingyang’s face changed drastically.

“Bang!”

When Feng Wuchen reappeared, it was with a punch to the back of Liu Qingyang, sending him flying without any chance to react.

“In a fight with the enemy, one must never underestimate, be arrogant, or act rashly; one must remain calm,” Feng Wuchen stated lightly.

Miao Qingqing covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, saying, “Brother Liu is just too self-satisfied and underestimating.”

“Brother Feng, that’s so unfair! You said no instant movement was allowed,” Liu Qingyang protested as he got up, clearly unhappy.

“Would you believe the enemy’s words?” Feng Wuchen countered.

“Brother Liu, this is called adapting to the situation!” Miao Qingqing chuckled again.

“Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine, okay?” Liu Qingyang said gruffly, then crouched to pick up a stone.

Pointing to a mountain opposite, Liu Qingyang said, “See that insect on the tree at the peak? I can hit it even with my eyes closed! Watch this!”

“You wouldn’t hit it even with your eyes open,” Miao Qingqing rolled her eyes, clearly knowing Liu Qingyang was boasting.

“Whoosh!”

Liu Qingyang suddenly flung the stone with force, and both Feng Wuchen and Miao Qingqing turned their attention to follow its trajectory.

At that moment, however, Liu Qingyang’s figure flashed and disappeared.

Using the same instant movement, he appeared in the blink of an eye to the left of Feng Wuchen and slammed down a fierce punch.

With a keen awareness, Feng Wuchen showed a look of surprise on his face as he managed to twist his body in mid-air and narrowly dodge Liu Qingyang’s surging attack.

“Well done, you almost hit me there!” Feng Wuchen praised, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Liu Qingyang shrugged his shoulders, smiling, “Brother Feng, this is called a feint!”

“Your martial arts have also nearly reached perfection. Your cultivation has improved rapidly this month. If you were to use elixirs for assistance, it would be even faster, but you must not become too reliant on them. Having cultivation but lacking strong combat ability is futile,” Feng Wuchen said calmly.

After a brief pause, Feng Wuchen added, “This is also why many cultivators with high cultivation can’t defeat those with weaker cultivation.”

“Understood!” Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing said in unison, like students listening to a teacher.

Feng Wuchen then said, “Elixirs are strong, but after all, they are concocted, not nurtured by heaven and earth; their potency is not pure. However, when your realm is stable, the impact is not significant.”

“No wonder Brother Feng, as an Alchemist, rarely takes elixirs but instead seeks out treasures produced by nature,” Liu Qingyang said as realization dawned on him.

“Rest for a while, then continue cultivating. The stronger your physique, the stronger your power. In a few days, we’ll descend the mountain,” Feng Wuchen instructed.

…

Today, a large number of cultivators of unknown origin poured into Yunzhou, none with weak cultivation. Among them were practitioners of the Yuandan Realm exuding a cold, trembling killing aura.

They entered Tiandu and headed for the Tiandu Main Palace. There were hundreds of them, filling the streets, creating a spectacular scene that attracted countless onlookers. Yet no one dared to approach them, with the more timid hiding away.

The sheer magnitude of their aura was enough to intimidate.

“With such a powerful martial spirit and a ruthless aura, they must be the Empire’s Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Cavalry!”

Those experienced and highly cultivated could guess their identity.

Within the palace of Du Cheng in Tiandu, the General was speaking with Chu Wuheng, both showing grave expressions.

“Brother Chu, this matter is no small issue. It has alarmed the Prince and the State Preceptor. They are extremely angry. The Great General is already on his way here, and I fear the Prince and the State Preceptor will soon visit Yunzhou in person!” the General stated solemnly.

“To have alarmed the State Preceptor and the Prince!” Chu Wuheng became extremely serious.

The General nodded, continuing, “I’ve already discussed this with Elder Mu of the Xuantian Sect and told them to stand down!”

Although the Xuantian Sect is strong, it could never confront the Empire.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wuheng laughed and said, “General Wu, I know what you mean, but you might not be aware that the news of the Grand Cloud Sect’s destruction was released by someone I sent.”

“The news was released by Brother Chu?” General Wu was greatly shocked.

Chu Wuheng said with a faint smile, “That’s right, wiping out the Grand Cloud Sect was also an action I took together with Chairman Xiang and Master Feng. Master Feng has been conferred as the Grand Commander by the Emperor, which shows the Empire’s high regard for Master Feng. Would it not be seeking death to be his enemy? Moreover, none of us knows what kind of terrifyingly strong figure stands behind Master Feng. I released the news to let you know and to pass the message to the Great General, yet I never expected it would alarm the State Preceptor and the prince.”

“So that’s how it is.” General Wu nodded, then said angrily, “Hmph! Those forces that want to kill the Grand Commander are plainly not taking the Empire seriously! If I find out who they are, I’ll make sure they all disappear!”

“General Wu, the Grand Cloud Sect is just the beginning,” Chu Wuheng said with a smile.

…

In the valley, Feng Wuchen, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.

“Why have I been feeling a bit strange recently? What’s with this heat flow inside me?” Feng Wuchen wondered inwardly, finding it quite unusual.

Ever since breaking through to the Seventh Level of the Transformative Realm, Feng Wuchen began to sense a warm flow spreading through his body, reaching every limb and bone. Yet he did not know where this heat originated from.

At first, Feng Wuchen thought it was the warmth from the Bi Jing Kuang Lion’s blood essence, but later discovered it was not the case.

Feng Wuchen didn’t know whether this heat flow was good or bad. It only appeared when he cultivated; when he didn’t cultivate, the heat mysteriously disappeared, and so far, he hadn’t noticed any adverse effects on his body.

With a trace of solemnity on his face, Feng Wuchen muttered to himself, “This heat flow has no aura. Could it be related to the power of the Dragon God?”

Feng Wuchen thought hard but couldn’t figure it out, eventually setting the thought aside to continue his cultivation.

As long as this heat flow didn’t cause any harm to his body, Feng Wuchen wasn’t worried. After all, the heat gave him no sense of discomfort.

A few days later, after consolidating his strength at the Seventh Level of the Transformative Realm, the trio left the valley and descended the mountain.

With their miraculous and powerful movement techniques, the three of them moved through the complex terrain like agile monkeys, their speed astonishing, and in the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the forest.

The month of cultivation yielded satisfying results for Liu Qingyang and Miao Qingqing; at the very least, their power was much stronger than cultivators of the same level.

Although they had endured a lot of hardships, it was all worth it.

“Brother Feng, which force shall we seek revenge from first now that we’ve descended the mountain?” Liu Qingyang asked after leaving Tian Yun Mountain, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

“Let’s go find General Wu first. We can’t do it alone; we need the power of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry to suppress the major forces of Yunzhou,” Feng Wuchen replied lightly, his plain words carrying a ruthlessness and ferocity.

What Feng Wuchen and the others didn’t know was that the news of the Grand Cloud Sect’s demise had spread throughout Yunzhou and had already alerted the State Preceptor and the prince.

After Feng Wuchen and his companions returned to Liu Shan’s home in Luan Tian City, they learned about the Grand Cloud Sect incident and guessed that the news must have been released by either Chu Wuheng or Xiang Yan.

Because of this incident, many forces were frightened into compliance.

No wonder Feng Wuchen and the others returned to Luan Tian City so smoothly.

“So it seems that General Wu must already know about this,” Feng Wuchen speculated, which would save a lot of time.

After General Wu knew about this, he would surely report to the Empire’s Great General.

“It seems that even the heavens are helping me,” Feng Wuchen thought to himself.

With the arrival of the Empire’s Great General along with the Black Flag Army and Sky Shadow cavalry, how could Feng Wuchen fear the major forces of Yunzhou?

Feng Wuchen, as the Empire’s Grand Commander, leading the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry, this was his power!

Liu Shan nodded and reverently said, “General Wu guards the borders of Yunzhou; no big or small matter can escape his notice. He surely knows.”

“I’d like to see how they die this time!” Liu Qingyang said with a vicious sneer, recalling the previous pursuit, he was filled with rage.

“Grand Commander, it is said that a group of mysterious people entered Yunzhou early this morning, with an aura of cold-blooded killing and iron-blooded resolve. Most likely, they are the soldiers of the Empire, and they are now in Tiandu,” Liu Shan added.

Feng Wuchen nodded and said with a smile, “It seems that the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry have already entered Yunzhou. Qingyang, Qingqing, let’s head to Tiandu immediately. General Wu is also in Tiandu.”

Feng Wuchen was quite certain it was the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry.

The three promptly headed for Tiandu.

Luan Tian City was not far from Tiandu; in less than half an hour, Feng Wuchen and his two companions had already arrived at the gates of Tiandu.

“Such a familiar aura!” Feng Wuchen said with a light smile; he had already sensed the iron-blooded aura of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry!

“Brother Feng, is this the aura of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry? It’s really intimidating,” Liu Qingyang gasped in astonishment.

“Such a formidable presence; it seems many have arrived,” Miao Qingqing commented, her heart filled with curiosity.

The Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow cavalry had always been the pride of the Empire, their strength, courage, and resilience respected by countless people as the elite soldiers of the Empire!

At this moment, Feng Wuchen’s mood was somewhat excited as he said, “After several months, their strength has grown even stronger; indeed, they have not disappointed me.”
