49: The Major General is back

As soon as Lu Xingchen jumped off the city wall, he was surrounded by Fengming Kingdom soldiers.

Lu Xingchen showed no fear, raising his shadow sword and cutting his way towards the battering ram.

With his "Devour" talent, Lu Xingchen killed these ordinary soldiers without expending much fighting spirit.

System notifications kept ringing in his ears.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Three-Star Martial Artist, gaining three experience points and three exchange points!"

"Congratulations to the host for killing a Five-Star Martial Artist, gaining five experience points and five exchange points!"

However, breaking through from a Nine-Star Martial Master to a Ten-Star Martial Master required a thousand experience points, so these single-digit experience points were almost negligible.

In just three minutes, Lu Xingchen had killed over a hundred Fengming Kingdom soldiers.

His powerful combat ability and decisive killing intent struck fear into the Fengming Kingdom soldiers.

All the Fengming Kingdom soldiers retreated, creating an empty space around the battering ram.

Lu Xingchen was about to destroy the battering ram when a furious shout suddenly came from a distance.

"Boy, how dare you!"

Three Great Martial Master experts charged towards Lu Xingchen: one Two-Star and two One-Star.

Seeing them, Lu Xingchen frowned.

For a low-level country, having one Great Martial Master expert was enough to dominate a region.

Yet, the enemy had deployed three Great Martial Master experts, and this was only in a siege battle.

Who knew how many more Great Martial Master experts the Fengming Kingdom had?

This force was definitely not something a low-level country like Fengming Kingdom should possess!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The leading Two-Star Great Martial Master chuckled, "You don't need to know that. You only need to know that today, you will die here."

"It's a pity, such a young Nine-Star Martial Master, truly a Genius. But you shouldn't be fighting for Xiao Long."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "It's not certain who will die yet."

It didn't matter if the other party refused to answer; he could just ask Xiao Long later.

Lu Xingchen drew his shadow sword, and battle was imminent.

Possessing numerous talents, his combat power far surpassed that of Martial Masters in the same Realm; even fighting across Ranks, one against three, was very easy for him.

With the help of the shadow sword, the three enemies couldn't even touch Lu Xingchen's clothes, while every strike from Lu Xingchen was sure to severely injure an opponent.

In just three minutes, Lu Xingchen found an opportunity to kill a One-Star Great Martial Master.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a One-Star Great Martial Master, gaining one hundred and fifty experience points and one hundred and fifty exchange points!"

The other two were filled with terror.

"This is impossible! He's only a Nine-Star Martial Master, how can he be so strong?"

"We can't even hurt him, yet he has already killed Xue Zhi!"

"He's too terrifying, this Young General is too terrifying!"

"We can't die here; we must relay this message to Senior Li Ning!"

The two panicked, turning and running towards the Fengming Kingdom's main camp.

Lu Xingchen didn't hesitate, unleashing a "Void-Shattering Slash" towards the two.

The Two-Star Great Martial Master slapped the One-Star Great Martial Master, pushing him into the path of the "Void-Shattering Slash," while he himself sped up his escape.

"Congratulations to the host for killing a One-Star Great Martial Master, gaining one hundred and fifty experience points and one hundred and fifty exchange points!"

"Congratulations to the host for his Realm advancing to Ten-Star Martial Master, gaining 20 exchange points!"

Lu Xingchen frowned.

That Two-Star Great Martial Master was quite decisive.

But it didn't matter; there would be another chance to fight him sooner or later.

He would not let a single enemy who invaded his country go!

The enemy soldiers dared not advance, and Lu Xingchen easily destroyed the battering ram, incidentally collecting the bodies of the two One-Star Great Martial Masters into his Storage Ring.

At the same time, Xiao You also achieved great results.

It flew directly to the trebuchets and destroyed one with a single claw.

After destroying the trebuchets, it then attacked the troop carriers, arrow towers, and siege crossbows.

In short, all of the enemy's large siege equipment was destroyed by it.

The enemy commander also noticed something was wrong but could do nothing about Xiao You.

Joking aside, Xiao You's defense was so high that even Lu Xingchen, wielding the shadow sword, couldn't break through it, let alone ordinary arrows.

After destroying the trebuchets, Lu Xingchen activated his "Azure Cloud Wings" and flew onto the city wall.

Lin Jing was not idle either; all the scaling ladders had been destroyed by her.

With no other option, the enemy commander could only order a retreat.

All the siege equipment was destroyed, and the scaling ladders were toppled; there was no way to continue the siege, and staying longer would only lead to more casualties.

Seeing the tens of thousands of Fengming Kingdom troops retreat, the Dayan Kingdom defenders on the city wall let out excited shouts.

"We won! We won! The Fengming Kingdom is retreating!"

"This is great, no need to die for the country! My mom is still waiting for me to come home for dinner."

"Those two people and one Dragon are simply too strong; they saved the Dayan Kingdom."

Xiao You spat a few breaths of Dragon flame at the retreating Fengming Kingdom army, killing over a hundred enemy soldiers, before leisurely flying back to the city wall and entering Lu Xingchen's mount space.

The defenders on the city wall looked at Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing with awe and fear, not daring to approach.

Just then, an Advanced military officer mustered his courage and walked towards Lu Xingchen.

"Greetings, Esteemed Sir, I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Bai saw Lu Xingchen's face and immediately froze.

"You are? Lu Dazhuang! No, I should call you Lu Xingchen, the only son of Great General Lu Chaoyang. Lu Xingchen, you've returned from Lingxiao Sect?"

As a Division Commander, Li Bai had naturally heard Lu Xingchen's story and recognized him at a glance.

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Division Commander Li Bai, long time no see!"

Li Bai's eyes were filled with shock, and he recalled what Lu Xingchen had said to him back then, feeling deeply ashamed for a moment.

"Sir Lu Xingchen, in half a year, you've become so powerful; it's truly astonishing. You are the savior of the entire Dayan Kingdom!"

"I apologize, Sir Lu Xingchen, I apologize for my inappropriate remarks in the past!"

Lu Xingchen waved his hand, "I've long forgotten about what happened back then. Please take me to see the King; I need to understand the current situation of the Dayan Kingdom."

Li Bai nodded repeatedly, "Alright, please follow me."

Immediately, Li Bai turned to his adjutant and said, "Spread the news that Sir Lu Xingchen has returned from his studies and saved the Dayan Kingdom. With him here, our Dayan Kingdom has hope for revival!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

Since he had acted in front of so many Fengming Kingdom soldiers, the news certainly couldn't be kept secret, so it was better to proactively spread it to boost the Dayan Kingdom's morale.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xingchen followed Li Bai to the imperial palace.

King Xiao Long was slumped on the Dragon throne, his eyes unfocused, holding a precious sword.

He had already prepared to die for his country.

If he were captured by the Fengming Kingdom, not only would he be humiliated, but the entire Dayan Kingdom would be disgraced because of him.

Just then, Li Bai's words echoed throughout the main hall: "Your Majesty, the Young General has returned!"
