"Again."
"A heartbeat is worse than action."
Haitang Duoduo was taken aback, and immediately blushed after Chen Qingfeng's teasing words.
...89
at the same time.
The border town of Northern Qi.
Shen Zhong led his remaining troops back.
His clothes were torn, and half of his robe was soaked in blood.
With each step, a glaring red trail was left on the ground.
But the physical pain was nothing compared to the shock in my heart.
"That cavalry force was terrifying!"
Shen Zhong's expression turned solemn, and he muttered in fear.
He had never seen an army like that before.
Iron hooves thundered, and swords flashed like snow.
Every cavalryman was fearless and yet worked together seamlessly.
What's even more terrifying is that the entire Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is made up of martial artists, with the lowest level being the sixth rank!
"Hey!"
The more Shen Zhong thought about it, the more terrified he became, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"The message must be sent back immediately!"
Shen Zhong realized the seriousness of the problem.
Recalling the previous battle with the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry,
The enemy's charge was like a raging wave crashing against the shore; wherever the blade passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
Even the heavily armored cavalry that the Northern Qi was so proud of were torn apart!
In just a brief exchange, the tens of thousands of border troops he led suffered a crushing defeat, with most of them killed or wounded!
"hateful!"
"When did the Qing Kingdom acquire such a terrifying iron cavalry?"
"This Emperor Qing is truly terrifying!"
"They actually managed to cultivate so many martial artists so quietly, it's simply unbelievable!"
"If that iron cavalry really attacks..."
"Northern Qi is in danger!"
At this thought, even Shen Zhong's breathing became rapid and disordered.
He knew very well that if the Northern Qi did not take precautions, the powerful Great Snow Dragon Cavalry would be able to overthrow the entire Northern Qi!
Then, he quickly grabbed paper and pen, intending to send the message back to the capital city by express courier!
...
at the same time.
Inside the royal villa in the capital city.
The person who was born in Haitangduoduo has left.
Only Chen Qingfeng and Fan Xian, who was still practicing his sword, remained in the square.
Under Chen Qingfeng's tutelage, Fan Xian made rapid progress.
Soon, he had mastered the basic sword techniques of the Celestial Immortal and began to try them out further.
His long sword, Lingxu, pointed diagonally at the ground.
The sword's edge reflected the sunlight, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light.
At this moment, Fan Xian closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind constantly replaying the magnificent swordplay Chen Qingfeng had demonstrated earlier.
The celestial being descending from the heavens is not defined by sword techniques, but by the intent behind them.
Gradually, Fan Xian's breathing became calm, and his true energy flowed slowly like a stream, eventually converging at the tip of the sword.
"Clang!"
A clear, melodious sword cry rang out.
Fan Xian suddenly opened his eyes, his figure flashed like lightning, and he thrust out with his sword!
In an instant, the sword light split, and three afterimages appeared simultaneously.
Each sword strike was extremely sharp, yet it also carried a touch of ethereal, otherworldly grace.
"boom!"
The immense sword force caused a tremor in space and time.
A dozen feet away, an old pine tree was snapped into three pieces by three sharp sword lights, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.
"So...so strong!"
Fan Xian sheathed his sword, his face filled with disbelief.
Although he knew that his Celestial Flying Immortal Sword Technique was still far inferior to Chen Qingfeng's.
He was probably already extremely satisfied with what he had achieved.
After all, he had only just started practicing.
At the edge of the square, Chen Qingfeng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction after seeing that Fan Xian's swordsmanship had improved somewhat.
At this moment, Fan Xian ran towards him excitedly.
"elder brother!"
"How about it?"
Approaching, Fan Xian asked excitedly.
Chen Qingfeng glanced indifferently at Fan Xian and replied:
"It's so-so, it's alright!"
"what?"
Fan Xian exclaimed in surprise, having originally thought that Chen Qingfeng would at least say a few words of praise to him.
Who would have thought that this would be the result?
However, Fan Xian didn't pay much attention to it.
He knew in his heart that his older brother was a grandmaster, and his vision was far beyond what he could compare to.
After a brief silence, Fan Xian changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, bro."
"What do you plan to do with that cavalry force you've hidden on the border of Northern Qi?"
"Once we leave Northern Qi, we should march south and force Emperor Qing to abdicate?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"A southward march is inevitable."
"But before that, we must first take down Northern Qi."
"It shouldn't be long before the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry arrives at the city!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Fan Xian was greatly shocked and said in disbelief:
"elder brother!"
"You don't mean... the capital city when you say the enemy is at the gates, do you?"
Chen Qingfeng glanced indifferently at Fan Xian and muttered:
"What else do you think?"
Fan Xian was stunned, his expression filled with shock.
Earlier, I heard Chen Qingfeng say that he wanted to overpower the Northern Qi.
I didn’t expect it to be real!
In addition, he had previously accompanied Chen Qingfeng to see the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.
He even sparred with Wu An, the general of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, and was completely crushed on the spot!
"really do not know."
"How did he do that, brother?"
"There's actually such a terrifying cavalry force on the border!"
Fan Xian sighed inwardly.
The more he thought about it, the more unfathomable Chen Qingfeng seemed!
At the same time, a system notification suddenly sounded in Chen Qingfeng's mind:
【Ding! 】

Upon hearing the system's prompt, Chen Qingfeng immediately selected to sign in.
