48: Return to China

Ning Feng rubbed his head, "Boss, all my Martial Skills were given by you. I really don't have anything good to offer, so I can only wish you a smooth journey."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Your intention is enough."

Lin Jing stepped forward, "Lu Xingchen, I'm going back with you!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was stunned again.

"Didn't the Sect Master say that those from Lingxiao Sect cannot participate in matters between Dynasties?"

Lin Jing smiled, "It's simple. I'll just withdraw from Lingxiao Sect. After the battle is over, I'll rejoin."

"Ah, this..."

Lin Jing continued, "The Sect Master isn't an unreasonable person. Although he can't openly help you, sending me alone is not a problem."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

Lin Jing had spent years ambushing Five Elements Sect Disciples, and her combat experience was extremely rich. Her fighting power far exceeded that of an ordinary Great Martial Master.

With her help, he would be able to relax quite a bit.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Senior Sister Lin Jing, are you sure you want to come with me? This battle will be very dangerous, and you and I might even die."

Lin Jing nodded heavily.

"Lu Xingchen, your strength is very strong. You even annihilated the Five Elements Sect Disciples in the Chuyuan Secret Realm, which can be considered revenge for Lin Xu. My wish is now fulfilled, and I've decided to follow you."

"I believe that under your leadership, we will definitely be able to save the Dayan Kingdom and return safely."

Lu Xingchen smiled, "Since Senior Sister Lin Jing trusts me so much, let's set off together!"

Lin Jing said in a deep voice, "Then let's find two good horses and rush back to the Dayan Kingdom as soon as possible."

Lu Xingchen shook his head slightly, "Traveling by horse is still too slow. For every minute we delay, the Dayan Kingdom could be destroyed. Let's ride a Dragon! Xiao You, come out!"

Hearing the words "ride a Dragon," all the Chief Disciples present were a bit dumbfounded.

But then, the Nether Dragon flew out from the mount space.

Its massive body, purplish-black scales, handsome wings, and purple flames rising from its body.

As soon as Xiao You appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone present.

Ning Feng stammered, "Holy crap! Boss, is this your mount?"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "Yes."

"A Third Tier Demonic Beast!"

"Boss is awesome!"

Hu Junfeng, however, was deep in thought.

"I remember the last time the new Disciples had their first group mission, I did encounter a giant Dragon at the Blood Robe Sect's branch. Everyone thought you were killed by the giant Dragon."

"But you not only didn't die, you even subdued the giant Dragon?"

Lu Xingchen nodded again, "Yes!"

Hu Junfeng said with a wry smile, "A Third Tier Dragon Clan Demonic Beast! Its growth potential is huge, and its combat power is immense! Lu Xingchen, I couldn't beat you before, and now I can't even beat your mount."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "There's no time to explain so much. Senior Sister Lin Jing, get on the Dragon!"

The two leaped onto the back of the Nether Dragon.

"Xiao You, go as fast as you can. We're going to the Royal City of the Dayan Kingdom!"

"Understood!" Xiao You's voice was deep yet clear.

The two people and one Dragon rushed towards the Royal City of the Dayan Kingdom.

The five people at the Mountain Gate waved goodbye.

Only when Lu Xingchen's figure disappeared into the horizon did they reluctantly turn back.

"Holy crap, Lu Xingchen is truly amazing. He can even tame a Dragon Clan Demonic Beast!"

"I heard that Dragon Clan Demonic Beasts have intelligence not inferior to humans. You can tell from that Nether Dragon's ability to speak human words."

"If Ning Feng had obtained a giant Dragon, I would definitely suspect he was taken by Possession. But if it's Lu Xingchen, it's not entirely unbelievable."

"Gu Zheng, what do you mean?"

On Xiao You's back, Lu Xingchen checked his attribute panel again.

"Host: Lu Xingchen"

"Realm: Nine-Star Martial Master"

"Experience Points: 600 / 1000"

"exchange points: 1220"

"Talents: Eagle Eye (20), Strong Strike (20), Berserk (36), Blade Edge (30), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (30)"

"Professions: Third-Rank Alchemist (1000 / 10000), Third-Grade Spirit Formation Master (0 / 10000)"

"Mount: Nether Dragon (Third Tier)"

With his current strength, even without using the Heaven Swallowing Art, he could fight against a low-star Great Martial Master.

But Lu Xingchen was still not at ease, so he raised the Rank of various talents.

"Devour (50): Absorbs fifty percent of the opponent's battle Qi for his own use in a short period of time."

"Berserk (50): Critical hit rate increased by fifty percent, critical hit damage increased by twenty-five percent."

"Eagle Eye (30): Vision range increased by 100 meters."

He used up all his remaining talent points.

After all, the upcoming battle was not a one-on-one.

Instead, Lu Xingchen had to face the entire Fengming Kingdom and the forces behind it with his own strength.

Xiao Long had not finished explaining the situation of the Dayan Kingdom in the letter.

The Fengming Kingdom, after the battle of Zigui City, had been severely weakened, yet it suddenly became so powerful that it even captured his father.

There must be powerful forces supporting it from behind.

The answers to these questions would only come after meeting Xiao Long.

In just half a day, the two arrived at the Royal City.

At this moment, the Royal City was under attack by the Fengming Kingdom's army.

At a glance, there were tens of thousands of Fengming Kingdom soldiers attacking the city, while the Royal City's defenders numbered only a few thousand.

In the distance, trebuchets were constantly throwing stones into the Royal City.

Nearby, a dozen scaling ladders had been successfully erected, and a battering ram was violently striking the city gate.

The Royal City was on the verge of being breached in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the Nether Dragon appear, the soldiers of both nations were greatly shocked, their eyes wide as they looked up at the sky.

For a moment, the battle on the city wall actually paused.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? That's a Dragon!"

"I've been in the army for many years and haven't even seen many Yao Beasts, but I never expected to see a real Dragon today."

"Strange, why is this Dragon flying over the city for no reason? Isn't it afraid of being killed by Human Martial Artists?"

"I don't know. But I'm afraid there aren't many people here who can kill that giant Dragon."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Xiao You, go knock down the trebuchets in the enemy's heartland. Senior Sister Lin Jing, you go destroy the scaling ladders. I'll go take out the battering ram!"

"Understood!" The person and the Dragon spoke in unison.

Immediately, Xiao You slowed down and landed on the city wall.

Both the Dayan Kingdom's defenders and the enemy army quickly cleared an open space.

Are you kidding? Everyone knew that Dragons were the leaders of Demonic Beasts.

Moreover, Xiao You exuded an extraordinary Aura, clearly not to be trifled with.

How could these ordinary soldiers dare to approach Xiao You?

They would probably die if they were even touched.

Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing jumped off Xiao You's back. Lin Jing walked towards the city wall, while Lu Xingchen leaped up and jumped down from the city wall.

At this point, everyone realized that there were people on the Nether Dragon's back.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Someone can actually control this giant Dragon!"

"I'm afraid even the experts of the Dayan Kingdom and the Fengming Kingdom can't do that!"

"It looks like they're joining the battlefield. Whose side are they on?"
