73% Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg) / Chapter 146: 146. Grasp Flying Sword With Bare Hands

Kapitel 146: 146. Grasp Flying Sword With Bare Hands

Lin Fei left Chang City, turning his course towards Chiyang Prefecture. The court's army, engaged in quelling the rebellion, had reached Chiyang Prefecture. And so, a fierce assault was launched. The course of the battle was unknown. With this in mind, Lin Fei pressed on with all haste. His figure was elusive as a faint afterimage.

The closer he got to Chiyang Prefecture from Chang City, the less populated it became. Refugees were everywhere, and so were corpses. Even the sides of the official road were littered with bodies.

Although it wasn't summer yet, the smell of decay wafted from these bodies. The villages Lin Fei passed were merely remnants of broken walls.

Such were the times of war. Whether it was the rebels or the imperial army, their passage was never a good omen for the common folk.

The imperial army was somewhat bearable, some semblance of military discipline still remained. But the rebels, they were utterly lawless, worse than bandits.

Lin Fei knew this. In wars, the directly killed were not the majority. But the devastation brought by war was dreadful. Famine and disease caused by war were the true horrors.

In the cold weather of winter, the chance of corpses breeding plague was minimal. But come summer, if the Paradise Sect's rebellion was not quelled, then the heat and the swarms of untreated corpses would breed plague. And should an epidemic break out, death would claim far more.

The more Lin Fei saw, the stronger the killing intent toward the Paradise Sect grew in his heart.

"At last!"

Finally, Lin Fei beheld Chiyang Prefecture. Above it yet hung the flag of the Paradise Sect's rebels. While outside, a multitude of military camps were stationed. That was the court's grand army, tasked with suppressing the rebellion. Many bodies lay scattered on the ground.

The air was dense with the reek of blood. It was clear that both sides had likely already fought numerous battles. Yet, the lingering resistance of Chiyang Prefecture suggested the court's forces had encountered difficulties.

With a flicker, Lin Fei appeared before the army's encampment after a few leaps.

"Halt, this is a strategic area, approach is forbidden, violators will be executed without mercy!" A soldier roared, brimming with killing intent.

Lin Fei glanced at the camp within. He did not feel the need to announce his arrival. With a soft whistle, Lin Fei stepped forth. He covered a distance of sixty meters in an instant. Just like that, he breezed past the guarding soldiers.

Startled, the soldiers cried out, "Assassin!"

A din arose as countless armored soldiers, wielding hefty sabers and long spears, instantly formed a battle line. Spears stood tall as trees, their sabers gleaming frostily all pointed at Lin Fei, the "assassin" who had audaciously trespassed into their camp.

Such a formidable array would have been difficult to break through even for an innate martial artist.

"Hmph."

Lin Fei snorted dismissively. None could draw their saber in his presence. And so, Lin Fei's figure came to a slight halt. Then, his saber intent trembled minutely.

With a boom, the terrifying saber intent immediately enveloped the soldiers on the front line. Instantly, all the sabers within the formation began to vibrate.

"What's happening? I can't draw my saber."

"Sorcery, this is sorcery!"

"Quickly fetch the camp's immortal masters, only immortal masters can dispel this sorcery."

The soldiers were seized by intense fear. As for the formation, it crumbled at the surge of Lin Fei's saber intent.

Lin Fei silently shook his head. These soldiers hardly constituted an elite force. If they were truly elite soldiers, even with his saber intent pressing down on them, they would have maintained their formation.

And more so, they would have launched a courageous charge. After all, Lin Fei's saber intent could only suppress the sabers. It did not have much of an effect on those wielding long spears.

With a soft whistle, Lin Fei took another stride. He passed this row of soldiers, preparing to step into the commander's tent.

"Whence came this assassin? Trespassing into the military camp is a capital offense!"

A streak of white light shot out from the commander's tent.

A flying sword!

This was Lin Fei's second encounter with such a weapon. Moreover, judging by the spiritual power accompanying the sword, it was evident that it was being controlled by a high-level Qi Condensation cultivator.

Caught off guard, even a martial arts Grand Master might be severely disadvantaged. One would even be pierced through the head by the flying sword.

With a "snap", Lin Fei simply extended a fair hand and seized the white streak of light. As the white glow faded, it revealed a delicate flying sword about a foot long.

The flying sword attempted to struggle in Lin Fei's grasp but was brutally suppressed by his saber energy.

Holding the flying sword, Lin Fei walked straight into the commander's tent.

"Whoosh."

Inside the tent, countless gazes converged on Lin Fei. Especially on his right hand.

Catching a flying sword barehanded! Even a martial arts Grand Master wouldn't dare to attempt such a feat. But now, Lin Fei had actually caught a flying sword barehanded.

What could this mean?

Regardless of whether they were martial arts Masters or high-level Qi Condensation cultivators within the tent, everyone held their breath. Their hearts were filled with shock!

"Immortal Slayer Saber, Lin Fei!"

At this moment, a white-haired Daoist spoke. He obviously recognized Lin Fei.

"You recognize me?"

Lin Fei looked at the white-haired Daoist. He didn't know the man.

The white-haired Daoist sighed deeply, "I saw 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Master Lin from the sidelines during the Royal Competition."

Lin Fei understood. The man was probably a Qi Condensation cultivator of the royal family whose hiding in the crowd. Lin Fei, of course, hadn't noticed him.

"Master Lin, what is the purpose of your audacious entry into the military camp?" The Daoist asked.

Lin Fei did not answer directly. Instead, he held up the flying sword in his hand. His gaze swept across those within the tent, "Whose sword is this?"

At his question, another black-robed Daoist stood up. His face flushed, but he was compelled to speak, "Master Lin, it is mine."

Seeing that Lin Fei had made no move to return the flying sword, the Daoist continued, "I acted rashly. Please forgive me, Master Lin."

Seeing the Daoist admit his mistake, Lin Fei said calmly, "The material of the flying sword is too poor, it can't compare with Yuan Gangzi's flying sword."

Afterward, Lin Fei casually flicked the flying sword.

"Whoosh."

The flying sword flew back into the Daoist's hands. The Daoist's face grew even more uncomfortable. However, the fact was right in front of him. Lin Fei had caught his flying sword barehanded. What else could he say?

As for the comparison with Yuan Gangzi, he was naturally far inferior. Yuan Gangzi, after all, was a core elder of the Guardian Primordial Mountain. A top-notch Qi Condensation cultivator! How could he compare with Yuan Gangzi?

Although the Daoist felt frustrated in his heart. He was also quite shocked.

No one knew better than him how formidable his flying sword was. But Lin Fei had actually caught the flying sword with his bare hands. And it seemed to have been done effortlessly.

Such power was truly terrifying. Living up to the renown of the "Immortal Slayer Saber"!

Lin Fei's gaze swept over everyone, finally resting on a burly but already aging general.

"Are you General Li Yuhu?"

Lin Fei asked.

"I am indeed Li Yuhu. May I ask why Master Lin is trespassing into the camp?"

"Take a look. The emperor's imperial edict." Lin Fei directly took out the imperial edict and tossed it in front of Li Yuhu.

Upon careful examination, Li Yuhu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately stood up, respectfully returned the imperial edict to Lin Fei, and said, "Master Lin, the emperor has dispatched you to assist the imperial court in quelling the rebel army. If necessary, the emperor has ordered me to follow your command. I will certainly obey!"

Lin Fei asked indifferently, "General Li, the imperial court's army has been in Chiyang Prefecture for many days. Why have they been unable to break through Chiyang Prefecture and crush the rebels?"

Upon hearing Lin Fei's question, General Li Yuhu gave a bitter smile, "Master Lin may not be aware, but the military under the rebel banner, though a ragtag bunch, is receiving aid from a significant number of evil demonic beings within their camp.

Among them, there is no lack of high-level Qi Condensation cultivators. Some Daoist masters from the royal family and the court have gone into battle, but they were no match for those demonic beings.

Moreover, the entire city wall and gate have been reinforced by formations from those demonic beings. Even if our army attacks for several days in a row, they cannot breach the city gate. At present, we can only besiege Chiyang Prefecture, hoping to find a way to breach the city.

However, our army's food and forage supply is somewhat insufficient. If we cannot breach the city after a prolonged period, I fear we may have to retreat."

Li Yuhu was also helpless. Leading soldiers in battle was not a problem for him. Against these ragtag rebels, if it were a field battle, he could crush them in less than an hour.

But this was a siege. The rebels were huddled in Chiyang Prefecture, guarding the city gate and walls with formations by those demonic beings. Ordinary soldiers were completely helpless.

"Demonic beings? Where do these demonic beings come from that they can withstand the Qi Condensation cultivator of the court and royal family? It must be the support from some immortal sects or Daoist schools."

Lin Fei's eyes turned cold. Then, he looked at Li Yuhu and said solemnly, "General Li, you immediately muster the troops. I'll go and blast open the city gate and walls. When the time comes, I will take care of those demonic beings. The task of crushing the rebel Paradise Sect is yours. Any problems?"

"Ah? Master Lin wants to go and blast open the city gate alone? Even the Daoist masters casting magical artifacts couldn't do that..." Li Yuhu was somewhat surprised.

"Speed is of the essence in war, I will go and return quickly."

After saying that, Lin Fei turned around and took a step out, leaving the tent. Despite being somewhat surprised, Li Yuhu understood. The emperor's decree had made it very clear. If necessary, everything would follow Lin Fei's command.

Thinking of this, Li Yuhu gritted his teeth and immediately shouted, "All generals, muster the troops immediately and prepare to siege the city!"

"The general of the rear obeys!"

And so, the imperial court's army to quell the rebellion also started to move.

"Blasting open the city gate... Even for the 'Immortal Slayer Saber', is it possible?"

People still had some disbelief in their hearts. The strength of a martial artist was indeed powerful. But in terms of destructive power, it was far inferior to the magical artifacts of Qi Condensation cultivators.

Magical artifacts couldn't break open those city gates and walls reinforced by formations, what more a martial artist?

The crowd could only hold their doubts in their hearts. They also quickly followed the army, preparing for the siege.


Kapitel 147: 147. The City Wall Was Broken With A Single Saber

Chiyang Prefecture was now occupied by the leader of the Paradise Sect and a group of Daoists.

The leader of the Paradise Sect did not dare to show off in front of these Daoists. These Daoists were all powerful immortals. The reason why the Paradise Sect could succeed this time, even blocking the imperial court's army to quell the rebellion, was because of the efforts of these immortals. Otherwise, he, as the leader of the rebels, would have been captured and beheaded by the imperial army to quell the rebellion long ago.

"Esteemed immortals, I wonder how long the Chiyang Prefecture will be besieged by the imperial army this time. The food and fodder in the city may be a bit tight. Do you immortals have any ingenious methods?" The leader of the Paradise Sect asked cautiously.

One of the Daoists in a gray robe spoke leisurely, "General, there's no need to worry. The food and fodder in Chiyang Prefecture are enough for three months.

Moreover, the city walls and gates have been reinforced by us using formations. Even the top Qi Condensation cultivators can't break through the city gate in a short time. And the imperial court can't send top Qi Condensation cultivators now.

Although the imperial army is besieging us, their food and fodder can only last for ten more days. After ten days, the imperial army will definitely retreat. At that time, we will have won this battle!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Paradise Sect was overjoyed. The Paradise Sect has now occupied several prefectures and it has defeated the imperial army once before.

If it defeated the imperial army again this time, then in a short time, the imperial court would find it difficult to dispatch a large army again.

In this way, the reputation of the Paradise Sect would surely soar. At that time, they could capture more cities, and even occupying a province was not impossible.

Moreover, according to these immortals, Great Chang was now decadent and degenerate. Once the Paradise Sect established its footing, there would surely be a response from all corners of Great Chang.

At that time, when various forces rose up in rebellion, Great Chang would be overwhelmed and the Paradise Sect could achieve its great cause! This made the leader of the Paradise Sect extremely excited.

Seeing the excited expression of the leader of the Paradise Sect, the surrounding Daoists couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. A mere leader of the Paradise Sect, an ignorant fool, also vying for the world?

They supported the Paradise Sect merely to probe the real "strength" of Great Chang, to see if the Great Chang royal family still has the ability to suppress the world.

If the Great Chang royal family really couldn't do it anymore, they didn't even have to wait for the Royal Supreme Elder to die. Many immortal sects could support more people to "rise in rebellion," thereby causing chaos in the world.

By then, Great Chang would collapse. The immortal sects could return to their state a thousand years ago. High above, detached from the mundane, yet firmly controlling the entire world! As for Paradise Sect, it was just a pawn. If it was useless by the time, they could easily get rid of it.

This leader of the Paradise Sect was still immersed in the excitement of "great things to come". He was foolishly dreaming of becoming an emperor. How ridiculous.

"Report, the imperial army has come to attack the city again."

"Attacking the city again? How many people have come this time?"

The leader of the Paradise Sect asked hurriedly.

"Uh... One person."

"One person?"

The leader of the Paradise Sect and the Daoists looked at each other. There was a hint of doubt in their eyes.

"Let's go, let's go to the city wall to take a look."

So, everyone rushed towards the city wall. At this moment, the army to quell the rebellion had already assembled its soldiers and horses. Formations were set up.

However, the army to quell the rebellion did not attack the city. They were quietly waiting in place.

Lin Fei was among the army. He glanced at the city gate and wall of Chiyang Prefecture in the distance.

It was a strong city. The city wall was tall and strong. Even without reinforcing with formations, it would also be very hard to break through. Not to mention, there were high-level Qi Condensation cultivators reinforcing it with formations.

Such a formation, even top Qi Condensation cultivators would find it hard to break in a short time. Unless there was a very powerful magical artifact.

Lin Fei no longer hesitated. He took a step forward.

"Whoosh."

Lin Fei took sixty meters in one stride. In just a few steps, he had already arrived at the city gate of Chiyang Prefecture.

On the city wall, the soldiers were all looking at each other. One man attacking the city?

"Shoot!"

Suddenly, the soldiers on the city wall began to shoot arrows. Arrows rained down like a downpour, but Lin Fei didn't move at all.

Saber energy permeated his entire body. The rain of arrows hit him but all bounced off around him. It didn't hurt Lin Fei at all.

At this moment, the leader of the Paradise Sect and many Daoists had also arrived at the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the leader of the Paradise Sect was somewhat panicked and quickly asked, "Who is this? Is he an Immortal Master sent by the imperial court?"

The leader of the Paradise Sect felt that if one could remain unharmed under so much arrow rain, it could only be the method of the Immortal Master.

However, the expressions of these Daoists were very solemn, and they all shook their heads, "This person is not a Qi cultivator, but a martial artist. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the recently famous 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei of Great Chang. I didn't expect that the imperial court actually requested this person."

"'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei? A martial artist with such a title?"

The leader of the Paradise Sect felt that it somewhat subverted his understanding.

Usually, these fairy masters were very arrogant, even innate martial artists, martial arts Masters, these immortal masters did not take seriously.

But now, mentioning this "Immortal Slayer Saber" Lin Fei, they all looked solemn. Even the leader of the Paradise Sect could vaguely feel that these Immortal Masters seemed to be somewhat wary of the "Immortal Slayer Saber."

Yes, wariness!

At this point, the leader of the Paradise Sect was sure he wasn't mistaken.

"Could it be that this 'Immortal Slayer Saber' Lin Fei is very powerful?" the leader of the Paradise Sect asked carefully.

"Powerful, although he is a martial artist, we have to admit, he is indeed very powerful."

"'Immortal Slayer Saber' has slain two high-level Qi Condensation cultivators from He Mountain Dao and a top Qi Condensation cultivator from Guardian Primordial Mountain. The name 'Immortal Slayer Saber' is not just called, it's earned by killing! But no matter how powerful his 'Immortal Slayer Saber' is, he has no use before this army."

"Indeed, we have jointly used formations to strengthen the city walls and gates. How can he, a martial artist, breakthrough?"

"If he dares to climb the city wall, we will besiege him. No matter how powerful the 'Immortal Slayer Saber' is, he will inevitably be defeated under our many high-level Qi Condensation cultivators' siege."

"Chiyang Prefecture is still as solid as a rock!"

These Daoists were also somewhat confident in their words. Although the "Immortal Slayer Saber" was strong, but he alone could not break Chiyang Prefecture.

However, was it really so?

The leader of the Paradise Sect always felt that something was wrong. So he looked at the figure under the city again.

At this moment, Lin Fei was also looking at the city gate and walls of Chiyang Prefecture. There were runes flashing on it. Indeed, there was the enhancement of formations.

"Formations..."

Lin Fei took a deep breath, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"No matter if it's a formation or a city wall. My saber can break it!"

Lin Fei did not hesitate any longer. The Saber Qi within his body was released without restraint.

"Boom."

The surging Saber Qi gushed out from Lin Fei's body. A huge amount of saber energy condensed a giant saber in the void.

Thirty meters, sixty meters, one hundred and twenty meters...

Lin Fei's saber energy expanded crazily. In an instant, it reached two hundred and fifty meters! Two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy spanned across the void.

Chiyang Prefecture could be considered a fortified city with very high walls. However, the two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy that Lin Fei displayed was more than twice as high as the city wall!

Moreover, with the emergence of the two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy, Lin Fei's saber intent also spread out, enveloping the sky above Chiyang Prefecture.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, the city-defending soldiers, originally holding a large saber, began to tremble violently and emit light sounds.

"What's going on, I can't pull out my saber?"

"My saber seems to be attracted by some force."

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

Even the leader of the Paradise Sect on the city wall turned pale, unable to hold his saber.

"Sorcery, this is sorcery..."

"Humph, this is not any sorcery, this is saber intent! This saber intent is terrifying, but it can't affect the army. The only thing is this two hundred and fifty meters saber glow in the void, this should be saber glow, right?"

"I wonder how powerful this two hundred and fifty meters saber glow is? It should not be able to break through the city gate reinforced by the formation..."

Seeing the two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy in the void, these Qi Condensation cultivators mistook it for saber glow and were uncertain. Even if they had confidence in the formation, who had seen two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy?

"Heavenly Saber Art, slash!"

At this moment, Lin Fei, like a divine being, was demonstrating supreme power. He slashed out this saber from the void.

Immediately, the massive two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy slashed toward the city wall ferociously.

Yes, not the city gate, but the city wall. Lin Fei directly slashed toward the city wall!

The two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy landed on the city wall. The formation on the city wall was almost instantly broken at the touch.

"Boom."

The formation was broken, and it was instantly cut open by the violent saber energy as if it were tofu.

"Boom."

Finally, the two hundred and fifty meters of saber energy fell on the city wall. The sturdy city wall actually collapsed with a loud bang. A huge gap appeared in the long city wall.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell silent. Looking at the figure of Lin Fei under the city wall, everyone's eyes were incredibly shocked.

"Immortal Slayer Saber" Lin Fei, in front of the two armies, broke the city wall with a single slash!
