Chapter 99: Borrowing the Light of Ten Thousand Homes

"Qingkong Mountain Master, join forces with me!"

At this moment, Cao Wuji panicked.

He did not expect that the Qingkong Mountain Master would actually hesitate at this moment and not move.

The Qingkong Mountain Master let out a sigh: "Brother Cao, I am, after all, a person of the Yan Kingdom."

After speaking, the Qingkong Mountain Master retreated.

The battle also erupted at this very moment.

Chen Fengru held a long sword, his sword Qi sweeping across.

Cao Wuji held a long saber, domineering and fierce.

The battle between the two was such that ordinary people could not approach.

The Qingkong Mountain Master's expression was deep: "Chen Fengru has already embraced a death wish.

This battle, I fear there will be no victor."

The Qingkong Mountain Master was a Grandmaster powerhouse.

He naturally knew the power of a Grandmaster.

It is very difficult for two Grandmasters to determine a winner.

However, if one embraces a death wish, it is very difficult for the other to escape.

"Mountain Master, should we act now?" a disciple asked, looking at Chongan and the others.

"Once this battle ends, I will strike," the Qingkong Mountain Master said; he had waited for so many years, waiting a little longer was no problem.

At this moment in the royal palace, Chongan watched the great battle, his heart tense, his heart in his throat.

How could Chen Fengru alone stop two Grandmasters?

Did the Jubei King have any other backup plans?

"Report, Your Majesty, outside the Wangcheng, dust fills the sky; it is suspected that the Wei cavalry are setting up camp." At this time, a soldier wearing armor reported.

Chongan was even more panicked; what Cao Wuji said was true.

Wei had already deployed one hundred thousand troops, camping outside the Fenglan Royal City.

Once dawn broke, these one hundred thousand elite soldiers would attack the Wangcheng.

Fenglan could not stop the Wei cavalry at all!

Fenglan, its fate was full of hardships.

Was there truly no way to survive?

Even if Chen Fengru were to Slay Cao Wuji, who could stop those one hundred thousand Wei troops?

At this moment, Chen Fengru and Cao Wuji were three zhang apart.

Both of them had some injuries on their bodies.

Chen Fengru's injuries were even worse, with blood seeping from his arm.

He held his sword, looked at Cao Wuji, and let out a hearty laugh: "This sword is named No Return; I invite General Cao Wuji to receive this sword of mine."

The sword is named No Return; once the sword is drawn, there is no return path.

Back then, thousands of White-haired Soldiers faced the Wei cavalry, using their lean bodies and iron swords to forge the most stubborn line of defense, forcibly holding back the Wei army for three days.

Chen Fengru had an epiphany and stepped into the Grandmaster realm in a single day.

Back then, he comprehended one sword technique, named No Return.

That sword technique had always been incomplete.

For so many years, he had been in the Jubei Army camp, and finally, he completed this sword move.

The sword of No Return is a sword that kills oneself.

Suddenly, the aura on Chen Fengru's body changed.

A powerful Sword Intent swept out, and his entire person turned into a peerless precious sword.

"Ten thousand miles of Gusei, all are White-haired Soldiers!"

The sword was drawn, the sword shadow was white.

"The sword of No Return, in exchange for your head, Great General Cao, is it worth it?"

Drawn from the sheath, the edge was fully revealed.

Cao Wuji's expression changed drastically: "Old madman!

You are a Grandmaster, how can you be as reckless with your life as those common soldiers!"

Even if he could block this sword, he would be severely crippled if not killed.

However, Chen Fengru would undoubtedly die.

Cao Wuji hated Chen Fengru to death, furious and desperate.

Chen Fengru revealed a smile: "Because I am just a soldier!"

The sword was unleashed, unstoppable.

Killing others also kills oneself.

Chen Fengru was doing this to avenge his old brothers from back then!

This was using his life to help the Jubei King eliminate future worries.

Chongan and the others looked at Chen Fengru and let out a sigh.

Even the Qingkong Mountain Master was somewhat moved at this moment.

Just at this moment, a sigh suddenly came from the air.

"Old Master Chen, a person of his caliber is not worthy of this sword of yours."

Following this voice, a figure suddenly appeared.

This figure was none other than Lin Chao.

Just then, he stood in mid-air, suddenly appearing between Cao Wuji and Chen Fengru, and reached out a hand.

He pushed his hand forward, and the Returning-to-Nothing Sword was gently grasped by him.

All the white radiance vanished in an instant.

Lin Chao exerted force with his hand, and immediately, the Returning-to-Nothing Sword returned to Chen Fengru's possession.

Chen Fengru's Returning-to-Nothing Sword, which had been unleashed halfway, came to an abrupt halt.

The decaying aura on his body disappeared without a trace at this moment.

It was as if time had returned to before the sword was drawn.

Chen Fengru looked at the sword in his hand, his aged face frozen.

"This..."

His most powerful sword strike had been interrupted by someone?

And it had even been sent back to the past?

Such a method was nearly that of a Heavenly Human.

Chen Fengru was shocked, looking at Lin Chao seriously for the first time.

The King had said that his grandson's talent was astonishing, and that the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking were not even fit to carry his grandson's shoes.

He had not taken it seriously at the time.

No matter how astonishing, there must be a limit, right?

For example, comparable to the number one genius of Dayan, Mu Yu.

However, the scene before his eyes was clearly astonishing to an excessive degree.

Even a Grandmaster expert could not perform this feat.

At this moment, Lin Chao looked at Chen Fengru, his voice carrying a hint of respect: "Old Master Chen, leave the rest to me."

Lin Chao walked forward, holding the Gold Cloud Sword in his hand.

Cao Wuji's expression changed drastically.

The scene just now had exceeded his expectations and imagination.

He recognized Lin Chao at a glance: Qi Lin, the son of the Wu'an Lord.

How could he be this strong?

What about the assassins of the Wind and Rain Tower?

What about the Wind and Rain Tower Master?

A terrifying thought instantly arose in his heart.

"Who are you?"

He recalled the cause of death of the Tai Nan Si Gui.

Could it be that this young man was the one who wiped out the Three-Color Pavilion?

How could this be possible!

"The one who will kill you!"

Lin Chao did not waste words.

The Gold Cloud Sword struck, without any bells or whistles.

He Slay the Wind and Rain Tower Master with a single sword strike.

Naturally, he would not use a second sword to Slay Cao Wuji.

Whoosh!

The sword went, and the sword's hum arrived!

Cao Wuji's great saber shattered instantly.

At the same time, his massive body also shattered into two halves at this moment.

Under a single sword strike, the Grandmaster Cao Wuji fell.

The Qingkong Mountain Master watched this scene, his heart shaken: "I, the Qingkong Mountain Master, am willing to serve you as my master, Senior!"

At this moment, he had no thoughts of resistance at all.

He had thought that the person before him was a Heavenly Human from Fenglan.

However, the answer he received was Lin Chao's cold voice: "No."

If he were weak, perhaps he would agree to surrender to an enemy for the sake of the bigger picture.

However, he was very strong; he was the bigger picture.

There was no need for pretense.

Lin Chao drew his sword.

Twenty breaths passed, and the Qingkong Mountain Master, along with the dozens of Grandmasters who had come, were all killed.

When Lin Chao killed, not a drop of blood touched his body.

This was a one-sided massacre.

On the field, Chen Fengru, Chongan, and the others watched the scene before them, speechless for a long time.

After a long while, Chongan asked cautiously: "Who is this senior?"

The Heavenly Humans in the records were no more than this, right?

"Haha, he is the son of the Wu'an Lord, the Jubei King Heir, Qi Lin."

"It's him?" A look of pleasant surprise flashed across Chongan's face, "My son-in-law?"

He felt that this investment was truly the right one!

Such a powerful Heir, it is truly possible for him to contend for the world.

Behind Chongan, several guards looked on with confusion.

Isn't the person before them the very expert the Princess has been wanting to take as a master?

The joy of the enemy being killed dissipated quite a bit after a few gusts of breeze brushed against their faces.

The civil and military officials of Fenglan began to face reality.

Chongan frowned at this moment: "One hundred thousand Wei troops, what does my Fenglan have to resist them?"

One hundred thousand Wei troops were currently stationed outside Fenglan City.

Once dawn breaks, the siege will begin.

With Fenglan's national strength, it simply cannot hold out for too long.

Chen Fengru frowned: "I have already sent a message to the Prince; the Jubei Army will soon arrive to support Fenglan."

"But the Jubei Army will take at least seven days to arrive." Chongan clutched his hair tightly.

Seven days of time is enough for the one hundred thousand Wei troops to breach Fenglan.

Or rather, if Fenglan can hold out for three days, that is already the limit.

Lin Chao listened to everyone's words, his gaze calm: "Old man, Chongan, I will go take a look at that army of one hundred thousand."

"You..." Chen Fengru hurriedly grabbed Lin Chao, "You must not be impulsive; that is an army of one hundred thousand, even a Heavenly Human cannot kill them all!"

Lin Chao smiled: "Rest assured, I will not put myself in danger."

Beside them, Chongan looked at Lin Chao, speaking with earnest advice: "His Highness the Heir, my daughter is still waiting for you at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion; if the situation becomes critical, I ask that His Highness the Heir take my daughter away."

Lin Chao nodded, "Very well."

The Drunken Immortal Pavilion is the tallest building in Wangcheng.

It is also the place where Lin Chao and Qingquan Princess arranged to meet.

Having said this, Lin Chao turned and left.

Chen Fengru looked at Lin Chao, his gaze complex: "Three-Color Pavilion... thirteen years old... is he really still human?"

"Others practice martial arts, he practices Immortal Cultivation!" Chen Fengru let out a heavy sigh.

Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

A trace of worry appeared in Wu Xiangyi's eyes.

"Princess, what about us now?" Beside her, Lv Zhu's eyes were full of worry.

"Just stay here and don't add to the chaos for Father," Wu Xiangyi said with a sigh.

How could she not worry about the people in the royal palace?

However, she knew that if she went back, she could not help with anything and would only cause many more complications.

She carries the Immortal Corpse Bone on her person, which must not be lost; she still bears the mission of continuing Fenglan.

"Sigh, outside Wangcheng, it has been completely surrounded by the Wei army," Lv Zhu sighed.

At this moment, she had long since stopped mocking the Jubei King Heir.

Standing on the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and looking out, there were dragons of Fire everywhere outside the city.

This formed a stark contrast with the countless lanterns of the Fenglan Temple Fair inside the city.

Wu Xiangyi looked at the dragons of Fire outside the city, bit her lip, and said nothing.

Just then, a voice came: "Princess, I didn't expect us to meet again."

Lin Chao's figure appeared on the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

Seeing Lin Chao, a flash of joy appeared in Wu Xiangyi's eyes: "Sir, why have you come?"

"My grandfather said he found a marriage match for me and told me to come to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion to meet the young lady and see if I am satisfied."

Bang!

The wine cup on Wu Xiangyi's table slid off and fell to the ground.

"It's you... it's you."

Wu Xiangyi's eyes immediately became misty.

Lin Chao was quite calm; he looked at Wu Xiangyi: "I have already seen the young lady, and I am quite satisfied."

Wu Xiangyi choked up, unable to speak.

She did not expect that the one destined for her was still him.

It is just that, now that they have met, are they to be buried together in Wangcheng?

At this time, Lin Chao gazed into the distance; in the military camp, ten thousand torches covered the mountains and plains, as if they were all people.

That is the one hundred thousand iron cavalry of Great Wei, now having set up camp.

Lin Chao suddenly spoke: "Princess, may I borrow something from Fenglan?"

"What thing?"

"The lights of ten thousand homes."

Lin Chao's gaze fell upon Wangcheng.

The Fenglan Temple Fair has the lights of ten thousand homes, making the entire royal city as bright as day.

"Ah?" Wu Xiangyi did not understand, but still nodded heavily, "You may."
