256: The Spring Breeze Wood Spirit governs the army and breaks through again

The battlefield was reduced to scorched earth, large numbers of barbarian soldiers were slain, and the human emperor banner was devouring a vast number of souls, its Aura growing more terrifying, as if opening the gates of Hell.

Chu Jiang silently Cultivated the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, replenishing his consumed magical power, keeping himself in Peak condition at all times.

Under the refinement of the Azure Wood Emperor Skill, Chu Jiang quickly recovered to his Peak state. This Cultivation Technique had already reached Perfection, and its recovery, endurance, and toughness were all extremely abnormal.

“Deputy General Li, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner!”

“He’s a Great Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation!”

A Faxiang Realm General of the Feiyun Army hesitated, lowering his voice, wondering if this guy was going to devour the Feiyun Army too.

After all, Demonic Cultivators kill indiscriminately, regardless of nationality. They only care about profit, and will stop at nothing to increase their strength.

“I am Li Dakai, Deputy General of Langlang Pass, under Marquis Shenwei. May I ask who Your Excellency is…?” Li Dakai cupped his hands, looking at the figure in the Void Realm.

“No need to be nervous. I am Chu Jiang, Yun Province Pacification Commissioner. Greetings, everyone!”

The expressions of several people when looking at the human emperor banner were off, and he knew they had mistaken him for a Demonic Cultivator.

There was nothing to be done; the human emperor banner was born looking so terrifying.

“So it’s Chu Garrison Envoy. I’ve heard much about him!”

Li Dakai was first stunned, then breathed a sigh of relief. So it was one of their own. By the way, wasn’t he supposed to have died in the Tai Xuan Secret Realm?

It seems the rumors were false.

He must have been trapped in some desperate place, entered a spatial rift, accidentally stepped into the territory of the desolate province, and just happened to encounter the barbarian invasion, then took action to drive them out.

As expected of someone His Majesty values, surviving a great disaster means his strength has advanced again. It’s estimated that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion’s Earth Ranking will soon come sniffing around again.

“Chu Garrison Envoy, is this Ten Thousand Soul Banner yours? It’s truly a treasure!”

The Faxiang Realm General next to him exclaimed, seeing that the Ten Thousand Soul Banner was a treasure belonging to one of their own, he immediately changed his tune and praised it without reservation.

“A correction, this is called the human emperor banner!”

Chu Jiang said seriously, this single word difference made a world of difference.

Although its function was no different from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, the name human emperor banner was his last shred of dignity.

It proved that he, Chu, was a great benevolent person.

Of course, it was a 'nuclear-benevolent' benevolence.

The corners of the several Generals’ mouths twitched.

This banner was already black and purple, having swallowed at least tens of thousands of souls. No matter how you looked at it, it was hard to associate it with the words 'Human Emperor'.

However, the several people did not dwell on the name and began to praise it profusely.

“human emperor banner, good, that name is good!”

“Even if it’s a Demonic Weapon, as long as the wielder has no evil thoughts, a Demonic Weapon may not be unable to follow the Righteous Path!”

“That makes sense!”

… …

This time, of the fifty thousand elite barbarian soldiers, their Feiyun Army only defeated a portion of them. The vast majority were intercepted by Chu Jiang, who blocked more than seventy percent of the military's offensive.

Otherwise, even if the barbarians were successfully driven out, hundreds of thousands of common people would have died at their hands.

In this battle, Chu Jiang deserved the greatest credit.

They would also truthfully report his military achievements.

“Immediately send word, tell the brothers at Jialing Pass not to come over!”

Li Dakai said, the barbarian soldiers here, under the suppression of ninety thousand Feiyun Army and Chu Jiang, were already few in number.

The invading barbarians had basically been completely annihilated.

“Yes!”

The Feiyun Army's messenger immediately responded.

Chu Jiang looked at the ninety thousand Feiyun Army. Many were seriously wounded, covered in scars, indicating that defeating the other army had also cost the Feiyun Army a certain price.

He saw.

He raised both palms, palms facing upwards, and a pure wood-attribute Spiritual Qi surged from his body, forming green halos that slowly spread out, covering the entire battlefield.

Like a spring breeze at dawn, vigorous wood-attribute energy rained down on the earth like spiritual rain. Wherever the spring breeze passed, the earth revived, and the withered plants and trees regained their vitality.

The wounded soldiers felt a warm and powerful life force surge into their bodies, their wounds healed at a visible speed, and broken bones reconnected.

Soldiers who were not injured also felt full of energy and had inexhaustible strength.

“How magical!”

“My blood is boiling…”

“My bones reconnected!”

“My injury from eighty years ago is healed!”

Various sounds of surprise came from the Feiyun Army.

“This…”

This scene fell into the eyes of several Generals, and they were completely dumbfounded.

To cast healing spells on tens of thousands of people directly, what kind of terrifying spell was this, and what immense amount of magical power would be needed to sustain it? It was simply unimaginable.

“Chu Garrison Envoy, on behalf of these ninety thousand Feiyun Army brothers, I thank you for your righteous action!”

“From now on, you are Li Dakai’s brother!” Li Dakai said gratefully. Such large-scale healing must have caused an incredibly huge consumption to the caster himself.

“All the soldiers are fighting for the country; they are all heroes. I merely helped a little!”

Chu Jiang said calmly. What he performed was naturally “Spring Wind Wood Spirit” from the Azure Wood Emperor Skill, otherwise, there wouldn't be such an exaggerated healing effect.

However, the consumption was indeed great.

It almost drained seventy percent of his magical power, enough to cast Divine Ability two or three times.

“Everyone, I still have some matters to attend to. I’ll trouble you to clean up this battlefield!”

Chu Jiang suddenly said, then stepped on the Heavenly Peng Step and disappeared from the spot.

In reality, he went to recover his magical power.

After all, he had thoroughly read “On How to Act Like a Boss,” which clearly stated that no matter what, one must never show weakness when acting cool. Even if it meant forcing it, one must finish the act.

Enjoy the moment first.

“This Chu Garrison Envoy is truly decisive, he doesn’t procrastinate at all. He truly lives up to being a Pacification Envoy of a province!”

“He is truly a role model for our generation!”

All the Generals praised him.

… …

On the other side.

Chu Jiang was checking a large number of messages on his panel.

【Vajra Realm Barbarian Soldiers × 25000, gained two thousand five hundred years of Lifespan】

【Grandmaster Realm Barbarian Soldiers × 1600, gained three thousand two hundred years of Lifespan】

【Great Grandmaster Realm Barbarian Soldiers × 600, gained three thousand years of Lifespan】

【Golden Core Realm Barbarian Generals × 130, gained one thousand three hundred years of Lifespan】

【Divine Power Realm Barbarian Generals × 23, gained four hundred sixty years of Lifespan】

【demon life essence: Sixteen thousand sixty years】

… …

His departure was naturally for a Breakthrough. As for the Cultivation of martial arts Divine Abilities, he would consider it when he had more demon life essence.

He started immediately.

【In your fourth thousand year, you Breakthrough to Faxiang Fifth Layer】

【In your ninth thousand year, you Breakthrough to Faxiang Sixth Layer】

【In your fifteenth thousand year, you Breakthrough to Faxiang Seventh Layer】

【Your Azure Wood Emperor Skill advanced to Transcendent. Plants as Soldiers, Wood Emperor Domain, Spring Wind Wood Spirit, Azure Emperor Seal, are greatly enhanced, and your strength increased by one thousand elephants】

【Faxiang · Azure Wood Emperor Skill (Transcendent)】

【demon life essence: One thousand sixty years】

【Own Lifespan: Three thousand years】

… …

Chu Jiang opened his eyes, and his Aura surged again, his Divine Might like the sea.

The barbarian army had all been suppressed and killed.

“Now, it’s time to deal with that traitor!”

Boom!

The Void Realm tore open, and Chu Jiang disappeared from his original spot.
