71: Destroy a country

Lu Xingchen then said, "It'll probably cost a lot of silver to exchange for these Materials, right? I've almost spent all the money I have."

Indeed.

To train that Archer Squadron, Lu Xingchen had expended a vast amount of resources, using many xuan-rank spirit artifacts and Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques.

"Chairman Sun, I'd like to discuss something with you. Can I put it on credit first? You give me a few Pill Formulas for fourth-grade elixirs, and I'll refine them for you on the spot to repay the debt. What do you think?"

Sun Jie didn't hesitate for a moment, immediately replying, "No problem! However, I only have two Pill Formulas for fourth-grade elixirs here, namely the fourth-grade rejuvenation pill and the fourth-grade qi recovery pill, which are the best-selling Medicinal Pills."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Thank you, Chairman Sun! Then, how many Medicinal Pills do you think would be appropriate for me to give you?"

Sun Jie said in a deep voice, "Ten fourth-grade rejuvenation pills are already enough."

At Lu Xingchen's speed, refining a fourth-grade elixir only took one hour.

Ten fourth-grade rejuvenation pills would only take ten hours, which wasn't a big problem.

Fortunately, he had the System; as long as he refined Medicinal Pills, he could increase his professional Rank without any Bottleneck.

It wouldn't be impossible to even grind all the way to Ninth-Grade Alchemist.

Half an hour later, Sun Jie handed the two fourth-grade elixir Pill Formulas to Lu Xingchen.

"Master Lu, give me one month. By then, I will have the Materials you need ready."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "By then, I will present the ten fourth-grade rejuvenation pills."

After the matter was settled, Lu Xingchen rode Xiao You back to the Dayan Kingdom.

The counterattack against the Fengming Kingdom had already begun.

Lu Xingchen frequently participated in battles, helping his father attack cities and seize territory.

Because, as long as he annihilated the Fengming Kingdom, he could receive System rewards.

He had to pay attention.

With the help of Lu Xingchen and Lin Jing, in just one month, Lu Chaoyang had captured all the cities of the Fengming Kingdom.

Except for the Fengming Kingdom's Royal City.

General Yan Su of the Fengming Kingdom gathered all his forces to defend the Royal City, intending to make a last stand.

Lu Chaoyang's army was at the city gates, fifty thousand against ten thousand, and they also possessed a well-equipped Archer Squadron.

He had never fought such a well-resourced battle in his life.

Lu Xingchen circulated his battle qi, making his voice spread throughout the Royal City.

"Yan Su, you are already trapped, with no chance left. Surrender early. I, as the Young General, promise to spare your life."

Yan Su, clad in armor, stood on the city wall.

"Lu Xingchen, I know you are very strong, even capable of defeating Martial Spirit Realm Experts. I am definitely not your opponent."

"But the King showed me great kindness, promoting me to Great General. At such a critical moment, how can I be ungrateful? If you want to enter the Royal City, you will have to step over my corpse!"

Lu Xingchen frowned.

"Alright, if that's the case, then go to your death!"

With that, Lu Xingchen activated Azure Cloud Wings and flew onto the city wall.

He swung his shadow sword in a circle, and all of Yan Su's guards were sent flying.

Other ordinary soldiers dared not step forward.

Lu Xingchen held the shadow sword, smiling as he looked at Yan Su.

"It's still not too late to surrender now."

Yan Su drew the long saber from his waist and slashed at Lu Xingchen.

Yan Su's Realm was the same as Lu Chaoyang's, both Five-Star Great Martial Masters.

Although Lu Xingchen's Realm was one level lower than his, he had many talents, so he didn't put Yan Su in his eyes at all.

With one move of "Azure Dragon Slash," Yan Su was directly blasted backward, spitting blood in mid-air, and then crashed heavily into the city wall.

Lu Xingchen activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, instantly appearing before Yan Su and cutting down with a saber.

【Congratulations, host, for killing a Five-Star Great Martial Master, gaining five hundred experience points and five hundred exchange points!】

Lu Xingchen placed Yan Su's corpse into his Storage Ring.

He didn't plan to use this corpse to refine a Puppet.

Yan Su was also a man of integrity; he just followed the wrong master. After the war, he would find a place to bury him.

With the help of the Archer Squadron, Lu Chaoyang breached the Royal City in just half a day.

When attacking other cities before, the soldiers of the Fengming Kingdom had surrendered at the mere sight of them.

Those who were willing to stay in the Royal City to protect the King of the Fengming Kingdom were all resolute warriors.

Despite Yan Su's death, not a single person chose to surrender, and Lu Chaoyang encountered fierce resistance from them.

Half a day later, tens of thousands of corpses piled up around the Royal City.

Eventually, the army still entered the Royal City.

Lu Chaoyang and Lu Xingchen walked into the imperial palace. Li De, the King of the Fengming Kingdom, was sitting on the Dragon Throne, holding a golden treasured sword.

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Li De, you lost."

Li De gave a bitter smile, "I never thought that after so many years of contention with Xiao Long, I would ultimately be defeated by a young brat like you."

"Lu Xingchen, you are indeed very strong. I accept my defeat at your hands!"

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "The King requested that I capture you alive and bring you back to the Dayan Kingdom for trial. But you are, after all, the ruler of a nation. If you were to suffer humiliation, it would likely damage the prestige of the Fengming Kingdom. Why don't you commit suicide!"

Li De burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Lu Xingchen, you are still an honest person!"

With that, he drew the treasured sword in his hand and slit his own throat.

【Congratulations, host, for completing the mission: An Eye for an Eye, receiving rewards: five thousand experience points, five thousand exchange points, and the shadow sword and "Shadow Sword Art" have been upgraded to earth rank low grade!】

【Congratulations, host, your Realm has advanced to Six-Star Grand Martial Master, gaining 25 talent points!】

Lu Xingchen let out a long sigh.

To complete this mission, he had fought for over half a year, and now he finally had the rewards in hand!

He immediately checked his attribute panel.

【Host: Lu Xingchen】

【Realm: Six-Star Grand Martial Master】

【Experience Points: 600 / 7000】

【exchange points: 12220】

【Talents: Eagle Eye (20), Strong Strike (20), Berserk (50), Blade Edge (30), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (50), Army Breaker (30)】

【Professions: Fourth-Grade Alchemist (5000 / 100000), Third-Grade Spirit Formation Master (0 / 10000)】

【Mount: Nether Dragon (Third Rank)】

Not bad, much stronger again!

He had accumulated 109 talent points, and Lu Xingchen maxed out all his remaining talents.

【Eagle Eye (50): Vision range increased by 200 meters.】

【Strong Strike (50): After using a skill, the damage of the next basic attack is increased by 100 points.】

【Blade Edge (50): When using sword-type weapons, damage is increased by 100 points.】

【Army Breaker (50): Damage to enemies with less than fifty percent health is increased by fifty percent.】

Lu Xingchen was certain.

If he were to face Li Ning again, even without a sneak attack, he could easily defeat him in a head-on confrontation!

After finding an empty space outside the Fengming Kingdom's Royal City to bury Yan Su, Lu Xingchen immediately rode Xiao You towards the Qinming Kingdom.

The Materials for refining the Fourth-Rank Earth Fiend Puppet should be in hand soon!
