[Martial Arts] Yu Xin Xiang Shuai (full version)-27

【093】The beautiful grandmother
"Surprised, aren't you?"
Ning Ziyun smiled, ignoring Chu Jingyun's shocked expression, and said to herself, "However, you probably don't know why I've come to see you, do you?"
"Qingxin Pavilion!"
Chu Jingyun's brows suddenly furrowed. His mother had been kidnapped by the people of Qingxin Pavilion! "I'm asking you!"
The thought of his mother ignited Chu Jingyun's anger!
Ning Ziyun didn't care about Chu Jingyun's question at all! She crossed her arms and tidied her hair, which had been ruffled by the evening breeze!
Every movement was filled with a noble elegance! Her whole body naturally exuded a mature charm!
"Speak! Was my mother kidnapped by the people of your Qingxin Pavilion?"
Chu Jingyun exuded an unprecedented killing intent! Most importantly, his father... had died right before his eyes!
And all of this was because his mother had been kidnapped! Chu Jingyun couldn't help but suspect that the people behind all this were from Qingxin Pavilion!
Although he had no proof!
Seeing Chu Jingyun's angry face, Ning Ziyun rarely showed a hint of sadness: "I really didn't want to see your father's death!"
"Where is my mother now?"
Chu Jingyun's anger suddenly subsided, his expression becoming calm.
But even with this expression, anyone could tell he was on the verge of exploding!
Ning Ziyun gently shook her head and said, "Your mother... is naturally in my Qingxin Pavilion! I came to see her after hearing that you had brought a large army here!"
"Hand over my mother!"
Chu Jingyun didn't ask any more questions, because he knew she wouldn't tell! But since she had come to him of her own accord, how could he let her escape!
"What if I don't hand her over?"
Ning Ziyun rarely became a little playful; her mature beauty made her even more stunning! That expression, like that of a young girl experiencing the stirrings of youth, made her even more fatally alluring! It was something no man could resist!
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, Chu Jingyun suddenly felt a strange emotion rise within him! The beauty before him was so mature and alluring. Her curvaceous body, and her proud, full breasts!
"Hmm?"
Upon seeing this, Chu Jingyun was instantly thrown into disarray! He actually saw the shadow of his mother in this woman! No, it should be said that the shadow of this woman had once appeared in his mother!
"Who exactly are you ?"
"You want to know?"
Ning Ziyun looked at Chu Jingyun, but suddenly shook her head and smiled, "But now is not the time to tell you!"
"Then... you'll stay here!"
Chu Jingyun suddenly made his move, and his shadow instantly transformed into nine!
"Not bad! You've mastered the 'Illusion' technique of the *Destroying Heaven Technique* to such a level! I must say, you are truly a prodigy! And, most importantly, you're only eighteen or nineteen!"
Facing the suddenly appearing shadows of Jiu Jiu Ge, Ning Ziyun showed no panic, instead watching Chu Jingyun with great interest!
"Hah!"
Chu Jingyun ignored her words. Although he didn't know what the *Destroying Heaven Technique* she mentioned was, he couldn't care less!
Nine shadows rushed towards Ning Ziyun!
"Spiral Nine Shadows!"
Chu Jingyun leaped up, unleashing a flying swallow kick at Ning Ziyun—a combined attack of ten people, including the nine illusions and the real Chu Jingyun!
But Ning Ziyun moved at that moment! Her tall figure nimbly dodged to the side, rushing into the nine illusions like a shooting star! Like
a jade maiden weaving through the air, her hands moved like a pipa player in motion!
In an instant, she effortlessly neutralized Chu Jingyun's clones!
However, Chu Jingyun's true form was already above Ning Ziyun's head! His
towering figure crashed down like Mount Tai!
With a move like "Cloud Breaks the Sun," the Snow Shadow Capturing Hand immediately lashed out at Ning Ziyun!
Unfortunately, he was fast, but Ning Ziyun was even faster!
Suddenly, her figure became somewhat illusory! Nine afterimages appeared at once!
It was the Spiral Nine Shadows!
Chu Jingyun was startled! But despite his shock, he remained calm and pursued her relentlessly! A move like "Wild Horse Leaps the Stream" brought the distance between them even closer!
"Bang!"
Their four palms clashed immediately!
The powerful internal force even shattered the surrounding wooden railings!
However, the two suddenly stopped!
They remained facing each other, clearly vying for internal strength!
Ning Ziyun's internal force surged forth like a mighty river! But Chu Jingyun's mutated Hidden Dragon Technique was also extremely strange! One after another, vortexes of internal energy dissolved Ning Ziyun's internal force into nothingness!
"Huh?"
Seemingly not expecting Chu Jingyun's martial arts to become so strangely unpredictable, Ning Ziyun was also startled!
"Your Highness!"
The battle between the two immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers patrolling around the border!
However, when they saw Chu Jingyun facing off against a mature beauty in a white silk robe, they dared not approach!
That woman was truly beautiful!
The bright moonlight shone down, as if a light veil shrouded her in mist!
More importantly, her figure was extremely graceful and slender! Her long legs were slightly hunched as she confronted Chu Jingyun! Her curvaceous body, covered by her clothes, was perfectly proportioned, neither too plump nor too thin!
Most alluring were her bright, expressive eyes! They shone like the stars in the sky! Willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a delicate nose, cherry lips, rosy cheeks—everything about her was beautiful! Everything about her could drive any man crazy!
"Boom!"
A strange sound suddenly resounded in Chu Jingyun's mind, and the powerful internal force actually blasted him away! But Ning Ziyun was in the same boat!
The two of them staggered back several steps before regaining their footing!
Ning Ziyun's breathing was a little rapid at this moment, but her expression towards Chu Jingyun was full of admiration: "I must say, you little fellow are truly remarkable! If you were given another ten years, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match!"
"Hmph! Enough nonsense, I will not let you leave today no matter what!"
Chu Jingyun was going all out! The only clue to his mother's whereabouts was in the hands of this mature and beautiful woman! If she left, it would be really difficult for him to find his mother!
But Ning Ziyun didn't seem to want to fight Chu Jingyun again! She frowned and then said, "Don't rush to fight! I have something to say to you!"
"If you don't tell me where my mother is today, don't even think about leaving here!"
Chu Jingyun uttered harsh words, but didn't act immediately! He wanted to know what this beautiful woman, who could drive any man in the world crazy, would say at this moment!
Seemingly aware of Chu Jingyun's thoughts, Ning Ziyun simply smiled and said, "As I said before, you probably haven't heard of the 'Heaven-Destroying Technique,' have you?"
In the current martial arts world, those who know this technique can be counted on one hand!
"The 'Heaven-Destroying Technique' was created by an ancestor hundreds of years ago! This first-stage technique is divided into two parts! One is the basic internal energy section! That is, the 'Hidden Dragon Technique' you've been practicing only allows your internal energy to unleash a small portion of this technique!"
Every word Ning Ziyun spoke sent tidal waves through Chu Jingyun's heart!
How did she know? How did she also know the Spiral Nine Shadows?
A series of questions flashed through his mind, but Chu Jingyun remained silent!
Ning Ziyun continued, "The 'Heaven-Destroying Technique' has three additional techniques besides the internal energy section, 'Hidden Dragon Technique'! One is the 'Illusion' technique, which cultivates movement techniques! Spiral Nine Shadows, and even teleportation, belong to this technique! Presumably, the person who taught you this technique only obtained it by chance! Otherwise, how could they not know that hidden in your Chu family's genealogy is another technique of the 'Heaven-Destroying Technique'—the 'Earth' technique!"
"The entire 'Heaven-Destroying Technique' is divided into two main parts! Besides the basic internal energy section, the remaining three techniques are: 'Illusion,' 'Earth,' and 'Heaven.' The 'Illusion' technique cultivates movement techniques, the 'Earth' technique cultivates defense, and the 'Heaven' technique focuses on offense! The 'Illusion' technique circulates in the martial world, the 'Heaven' technique is in your Chu family's genealogy, and the 'Heaven' technique is in my Qingxin Pavilion!"
"Who exactly are you?"
Chu Jingyun asked again, expressionless, repeating the question he had just posed! He no longer wanted to know why the other party had told him this information! He just wanted to find his mother!
However, Ning Ziyun didn't answer. Instead, she said, "Your mother... is currently in Qingxin Pavilion in Aolai Kingdom! If you want to see her, then come to my Qingxin Pavilion yourself!"
"You're my mother's... sister?"
Chu Jingyun suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the beautiful woman before him. His gaze swept over her graceful, mature body, as if he wanted to strip away the clothes that prevented him from admiring her beauty!
"Sister?"
Upon hearing this, a delicate peony bloomed on Ning Ziyun's already perfect and stunning figure! A faint smile appeared, revealing dimples: "You mean, I'm your sister-in-law?"
Ning Ziyun was overjoyed! She was actually Ning Chuhan's sister?
"Isn't that right?"
Chu Jingyun wasn't annoyed by Ning Ziyun's strange behavior; his gaze continued to sweep over his brother-in-law! "You look so much like my mother! Really! Oh, no! It's not that you look like her, but... she looks like you! But you really are a mature beauty! I'm even a little tempted!"
"You brat!"
Ning Ziyun glared at Chu Jingyun, but the next moment she suddenly froze!
Because Chu Jingyun actually seized this opportunity to rush towards her!
Quickly!
The initial tension between them was immense! But Chu Jingyun had been preparing for a long time, like a swallow skimming across the water, crashing into the still-unresponsive Ning Ziyun!
Normally, Ning Ziyun wouldn't have made such a mistake! But now, her heart trembled slightly from Chu Jingyun's advance!
Chu Jingyun leaped into the air, like a roc spreading its wings and swooping down!
His gaze was fixed on the beautiful woman before him!
This Ning Ziyun was just like her mother, both beautiful and voluptuous, with similar charming faces, equally alluring figures, and captivating allure. She exuded a mature fragrance, a beauty that stirred the heart!
Ning Ziyun moved! But she desperately retreated!
Chu Jingyun, on the other hand, charged forward!
One was well-prepared, the other caught off guard!
Naturally, Chu Jingyun's speed was superior!
The two collided!
"Oh!"
Ning Ziyun's delicate body trembled slightly! Because Chu Jingyun's masculine body was pressed against hers!
Her body shuddered, and her constant twisting and struggling only made their bodies press even closer, so tightly. Chu Jingyun could vaguely feel the soft yet elastic pressure on his chest, soft yet firm and full. Even through two layers of clothing, Chu Jingyun could still vaguely feel that exquisite touch!
"Chu Jingyun!"
Ning Ziyun placed her hands on Chu Jingyun's chest, intending to use her internal energy to repel him, but she discovered that Chu Jingyun was prepared! His strange Qianlong True Energy formed rapidly spinning vortexes of internal energy,
completely neutralizing the internal energy Ning Ziyun had poured in!
Even though Ning Ziyun's martial arts were originally superior to Chu Jingyun's, she was now flustered! A blush of shyness rose on her delicate, flawless cheeks, like a rosy cloud, like a raging fire, as if she were drunk, or like a ripe peach, making one's mouth
water. Her neatly styled hair was elegant and dignified, her eyes were fiery, and her breasts rose and fell frequently due to her rapid breathing, rippling with alluring waves!
This series of reactions made Chu Jingyun lean even closer!
"You—"
Ning Ziyun glared at Chu Jingyun with a face full of anger, but his burning gaze made her body feel hot all over, as if a thousand ants were biting her!
"Let me go!"
In a panic, Ning Ziyun suddenly used all her strength!
Originally, the Goguryeo woman was much behind Chu Jingyun, and this time, she actually blasted Chu Jingyun, who was originally pressed against her, back more than ten steps!
"Chu Jingyun!"
Ning Ziyun glared at him with rapid breathing, her proud and beautiful breasts trembling incessantly! "I'm telling you, if you want to see your mother, then come to Qingxin Pavilion yourself! Also, tell your army to leave here immediately!"
After saying this, Ning Ziyun immediately turned and left!
Her graceful and lithe figure disappeared into the vast night in a few steps!
"Ning Ziyun! Qingxin Pavilion!"
Chu Jingyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face twisted in a ferocious smile: "Since... Aolai Kingdom wants to perish, then I will grant their wish!"
This time, Chu Jingyun was truly enraged!
His father was dead, his mother had been kidnapped!
This was driving him almost mad!
Three days later. Chu Jingyun, mounted on his warhorse, looked at the imposing, murderous army of 100,000 before him, and he smiled. These 80,000 men would shoulder the mission of avenging their brothers who had died a few days earlier!
Currently, Chu Jingyun's army totaled approximately 170,000 men. The original 50,000 plus 120,000 left to defend the city! Of the 80,000 men led by Chu Jingyun, 70,000 were city defenders, and the remaining 10,000 were the elite of the original expeditionary force!
Chu Jingyun dispatched 20,000 men to escort Chu Yang's body and the ashes of other martyrs back. Leaving 70,000 soldiers to guard the border city, Chu Jingyun led these 80,000 men to the city closest to the border of Aolai Kingdom—the very place where the traitor Lin An was located, and also the outermost city of Aolai Kingdom!
Along the way, Chu Jingyun constantly inspired his troops with impassioned words. After two days of travel, Chu Jingyun led his 80,000 spirited soldiers to encamp about thirty miles from the border city of Aolai Kingdom! Chu
Jingyun did not rush to order his soldiers to attack. Although they were itching to immediately don their armor and charge into the enemy city to slaughter those traitors! Chu Jingyun
first ordered a portion of his soldiers to provoke and insult the enemy at the city walls, but when the enemy prepared to attack, they quickly retreated back to their encampment. This left the enemy feeling helpless and fearful of being caught off guard; they dared not pursue rashly!
However, by the time they retreated back into the city, another group of shouting soldiers had arrived at the city gates!
This continued for three days, and the enemy army was already growing impatient!
This time, Chu Jingyun led 80,000 soldiers to completely surround the city. Dozens of cannons were aimed at the city gates, waiting for Chu Jingyun's command to immediately reduce the sturdy city walls to rubble!
Chu Jingyun stood at the forefront of the army, roaring, "Tell that dog Lin An to come out here!"
On the enemy city walls, a middle-aged man of about thirty years old appeared before everyone's eyes, and beside him was Lin An, who had poisoned Chu Yang and led 50,000 men to defect to the enemy! He looked somewhat flustered, but still managed to answer calmly, "Who is this traitor?"
Chu Jingyun ignored the traitor's barking and instead gestured for attack. The next moment, the firing line was lit, and dozens of cannons opened fire simultaneously, a hail of shells raining down on the high city walls!
Seeing so many "stones" hurtling towards them, Lin An and the middle-aged man quickly gave the order to counterattack and retreated from the city wall. But just as they were about to retreat, the cannonballs struck the wall, explosions erupting one after another!
In no time, the sturdy city wall, originally intended for defense, was riddled with holes. However, Chu Jingyun decisively gave the order: "Warriors, for General Anguo, for our wives and children, for the Celestial Dynasty, follow me and charge into the enemy city!"
Chu Jingyun leaped onto the wall first, cutting down several enemy soldiers with a single stroke, and shouted, "No prisoners! Capture Lin An alive!"
This army surged forward like tigers, crashing heavily into the enemy's defenses. Chu Jingyun penetrated deep into enemy territory, killing anyone he saw, each hand gripping a large sword, the sharp blades reaping lives!
The anger he had been deliberately suppressing had already erupted! His speed wasn't fast, but his immense strength caused more and more enemy soldiers to fall to his blade.
However, Chu Jingyun wasn't reckless. Seeing the enemy surrounding him, he pushed off with both feet, leaping out of the encirclement before everyone's eyes and onto the rooftops!
His broadsword then slammed down heavily on the eaves beams, sending fallen logs burying many enemy soldiers alive. Chu Jingyun jumped from one rooftop to another, repeating the same heavy blows!
"Charge!"
Under the onslaught of Chu Jingyun's army, several gaps appeared in the enemy's defenses. Before they could even fill them, his own army broke through! Instantly, the enemy's defenses collapsed completely!
Weapons clashed, and both sides fought fiercely! One side attacked, the other defended, but the attacking side was overwhelming, their morale high, while the defending side was on the defensive!
The saying "a desperate army is bound to win" perfectly illustrated this principle!
However, as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, even though his side held a favorable position, Chu Jingyun shouted, "Retreat!"
Upon receiving the order, his army did not panic; instead, they retreated from the city gates in a disciplined manner, clearly having undergone prior training!
Once his soldiers had withdrawn, the cannons, which had been prepared beforehand, unleashed another barrage. This attack lasted for half an hour! Most of the houses in the city collapsed, and the city walls were blasted to shreds!
Seizing the opportunity, the army charged into the city once more. This time, however, the counterattack was much weaker, and countless enemy soldiers were blasted to pieces by the power of the cannon fire!
At this moment, Lin An and the middle-aged man appeared behind the enemy lines. The middle-aged man was deathly pale with fear, while the traitor Lin An trembled, wishing he could sprout wings and escape far away!
He was filled with regret! He regretted betraying Chu Yang for material possessions! But it was too late! Now, all he could do was order his soldiers to fight to the death, hoping to give him a chance to escape safely!
So he commanded, "Charge! Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold and countless beauties!"
Lin An pointed to Chu Jingyun on the distant rooftop!
A great reward always brings forth brave men! Hearing that killing Chu Jingyun would not only bring considerable wealth but also the beauties of their dreams, which man wouldn't be tempted?
But how many of them considered whether they even had the chance to enjoy such a reward? Those who did not consider this did not move, only focusing on protecting themselves. Meanwhile, those blinded by greed and lust surged towards Chu Jingyun's location like a tidal wave, some with bows and arrows, some with stones, and others with ladders—using every means imaginable! They were determined to personally cut off Chu Jingyun's head!
However, they ignored the enemy army around them! Driven by the mission of avenging their comrades and protecting their country, they were fearless and unstoppable!
Chu Jingyun, too, was drawn to Lin An's words. His bloodshot eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light, making him appear like a messenger returned from hell, chilling to the bone!
His figure blurred, and the roof tiles, unable to withstand the immense force of Chu Jingyun's sudden exertion, collapsed!
Seeing the murderous demon charging towards him, Lin An was startled and immediately retreated. However, Chu Jingyun moved like a god of war descended from heaven, as if no one was there!
His twin blades were wielded with dazzling skill, their tips pointed directly at Lin An, the traitor who had killed his father!
In a panic, Lin An disregarded everything else. He grabbed the middle-aged man beside him and threw him at Chu Jingyun, using the momentum to retreat.
"Ah—"
Before the middle-aged man could even finish his cry, his body was severed in two. Chu Jingyun's momentum didn't wane; he hurled his twin blades with all his might!
"Ah!"
Another heart-wrenching scream rang out as the two large blades Chu Jingyun had thrown struck Lin An's arms, one on each side. Lin An felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then everything went black as he lost consciousness!
Chu Jingyun immediately shouted, "The bandit leader is dead! Warriors of the Celestial Empire, for the honor of our motherland, kill them!"
Chu Jingyun kicked over an enemy soldier and said, "Celestial Empire soldiers who surrendered to the enemy country with Lin An, if you turn back now, I will not hold you accountable. Otherwise, not only you, but also your families in the Celestial Empire will be punished for treason!"
Hearing Chu Jingyun's words, the surrendered soldiers, who were already worried about their loved ones, would have rebelled long ago if it weren't for Lin An's threat. Now that Lin An had been defeated, they naturally returned to the Celestial Empire without hesitation!
Seeing the surrendered soldiers realize their mistake, Chu Jingyun felt very relieved. After all, he couldn't bear to kill his own countrymen!
The situation has now largely stabilized, with only a few remaining enemy troops struggling desperately. Chu Jingyun shouted from a high place, "Warriors, you have three hours to destroy this city, or you will be punished according to military law! Remember, we do not accept prisoners!"
Chu Jingyun's meaning was clear—massacre the city! Otherwise, it would be impossible to vent his hatred!
Just as this city, filled with screams, was under the call of the demon, hundreds of miles away, an army was marching rapidly, their target being the blood-stained city!
However, they were wearing the uniforms of the Aolai Kingdom. The general leading them was clad in armor, a long sword hanging at her waist, her figure graceful and elegant, exuding the unique charm of a mature woman with every move!

[094] Crying Mother
Although her body was protected by armor, it could not conceal her graceful and exquisite curves. The female general had delicate eyebrows and a fair face, and her vigorous heroic posture further accentuated her unique charm!
As she marched at breakneck speed, her gaze remained fixed on Chu Jingyun's direction, her brow furrowed frequently.
In this city filled with death, countless soldiers of the Celestial Empire were wreaking havoc. Soldiers from Aolai Kingdom and even the city's inhabitants were on the slaughter list!
Chu Jingyun's army was like a raging flood, killing and looting indiscriminately, practically digging three feet into the ground to seize all provisions and useful clothing!
This was war! The defeated must bear the consequences of the victor's unreasonable actions! Looking at the blood-soaked city, devoid of any intact buildings, a flicker of pity crossed Chu Jingyun's eyes, but it vanished as he thought of his father's death and his mother's disappearance.
War was cruel; there was no room for even a trace of mercy! Since the enemy had decided to invade, they had to prepare for defeat!
At Chu Jingyun's command, relentless flames ignited, gradually spreading throughout the entire city!
So-called war refers to armed struggle between opposing sides to achieve certain political, economic, or territorial integrity goals! Moreover, war is a manifestation of the ruler's will!
It can be said that hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people in this city died because of Chu Jingyun's words!
This... is what war is! It is the continuation of politics through violence, it is bloody politics!
Chu Jingyun looked at the sea of fire and calmly said, "Return to the city!"
Tens of thousands of troops followed Chu Jingyun in an orderly fashion!
Just then, the sound of drums reached Chu Jingyun's ears. Chu Jingyun waved for his army to stop and prepare for battle. He looked into the distance, where a troop was approaching in his direction!
Chu Jingyun smiled and ordered, "All troops, battle formation! Archers and artillerymen, prepare!"
The army drew closer and closer, stopping when the two armies were about a mile apart, their eyes filled with rage! Seeing their own country's city engulfed in flames, devoid of any life,
anyone with half a brain would know what had happened! Had it not been for the female general leading them waving to stop them, these bloodthirsty soldiers would have already charged forward and fought Chu Jingyun's army!
Chu Jingyun spurred his horse forward and said, "Chu Jingyun of the Celestial Dynasty, who comes here?"
"Chu Jingyun! You are Chu Jingyun?"
The female general also mounted her horse, facing Chu Jingyun, and angrily shouted, "Chu Jingyun, I never thought you were so heartless! Don't you know that the residents of the city are innocent?"
Chu Jingyun shook his head and said, "When Aolai Kingdom launched its invasion, there were no innocent people among their people! Blame their Empress, if it weren't for her, would those residents have been treated so cruelly? Besides, are you the only ones allowed to kill and set fires?"
"Shut up! You are not allowed to insult my sister!"
The female general shouted, drawing her long sword, the tip pointing directly at Chu Jingyun's throat.
Sister? This female general was actually the sister of the Empress of Aolai Kingdom?
Okay, shut up then. Chu Jingyun didn't want to engage in a major battle with her army here. After all, his tens of thousands of troops were still in a state of extreme excitement, and if a battle broke out, something was bound to go wrong!
However, it seemed that the other side wouldn't let him leave so easily; this could be guessed just from the looks in the eyes of the soldiers behind her.
As expected, the female general roared, "Chu Jingyun, today I, Li Feng, will absolutely not let you go! For the sake of the innocent people who died today, I will make sure you perish here!"
"Li Feng? Are you really so shameless? First you tore up the alliance, attempting to invade my Celestial Empire and attack my border city. Now that I've retaliated, you still have the audacity to talk about the sake of the people! Do you invaders even deserve to say that? And don't forget, it is you yourselves who brought disaster to those people!"
Li Feng immediately pointed her sword at Chu Jingyun, saying, "Today it's either you or me!"
After saying that, she loudly commanded again, "All warriors, listen to my command! For the sake of those innocent people who died, we—"
But before she could finish speaking, dozens of cannonballs flew out from above the army behind Chu Jingyun! The enormous sound of them tearing through the air stung their diaphragms. Although they didn't know what those things were
, those small, dark spheres seemed to possess considerable power! Li Feng dared not allow her soldiers to concentrate.
So, she quickly ordered the soldiers to retreat, while she swiftly dismounted, grabbed a few stones from the ground, and hurled them at some of the cannonballs!
Seeing this, Chu Jingyun was stunned; he had overlooked such a simple counter-attack technique! A real blunder! Three cannonballs collided with the stones Li Feng threw in mid-air, exploding like sparks hitting the earth, scattering smoke everywhere.
However, the shells that were hit still landed around the soldiers, the powerful blasts causing their blood to boil.
"Prepare poison arrows!"
Taking advantage of the enemy's post-explosion chaos, Chu Jingyun ordered the archers to fire poison arrows, adding insult to injury!
Helpless, Li Feng could only watch Chu Jingyun's army slowly retreat! If she caught up, they would be met with poison arrows and cannonballs!
At dusk, with a day's journey still to the border city, Chu Jingyun ordered his soldiers to camp and rest.
The autumn night was cool and breezy, and the moon seemed particularly bright. In the dense forest, a slender figure darted swiftly through the gaps in the trees. Bathed in moonlight, she appeared so graceful and delicate, like an ethereal fairy untouched by worldly concerns.
Yet, her eyes were filled with murderous intent, making her seem like a fallen fairy, alluring and seductive!
After traversing for most of the hour, she concealed herself atop a large tree. The lush foliage completely obscured her curvaceous figure.
Her eyes were fixed intently on the camped army not far ahead, filled with a sharp killing intent. After a moment, her gaze began to shift, glancing here and there, like a predatory beast. Finally, her gaze settled on the commander's tent amidst the many tents!
"Chu Jingyun! As long as I kill you, everything can end!"
She tightened her grip on the sharp dagger, her face resolute, as if she were prepared to perish with her target at any moment.
The bright moonlight shone upon her, making her already beautiful face appear even more dignified and elegant. This person was none other than Li Feng! And also the younger sister of the Queen of Aolai Kingdom!
Taking advantage of the clouds temporarily obscuring the moon's soft light, Li Feng's figure flashed between the tents. After several such movements, she arrived at the central tent.
Even through a thick layer of burlap, Li Feng could still see the figures inside. But she didn't recognize any of them. Then, one of the figures inside said, "Now, the enemy won't rashly send troops. However, Aolai Kingdom remains a major threat, and it must be eliminated!"
Li Feng would never forget that voice! It was that devil! That despicable Chu Jingyun! Li Feng gritted her teeth, but now was not the time to kill him, so she had to suppress her anger!
"So, what should we do? Otherwise, it will be too late when the enemy launches a full-scale attack."
Chu Jingyun said, "I naturally know that. As the saying goes, 'To shoot a man, shoot his horse first; to capture a thief, capture his king first!'"
"Does Your Highness mean to kill the Empress of Aolai Kingdom?"
Chu Jingyun nodded, "Exactly!"
Li Feng, outside the tent, felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing Chu Jingyun's words. This devil actually wanted to assassinate her own sister? Luckily, she overheard it. However, it's always better to strike first!
As long as she killed Chu Jingyun before he acted, that wouldn't happen. Once the commander of the expeditionary force was dead, the more than 100,000 troops would collapse without a fight!
"Then who should we send to carry out this mission?"
"No rush. I have my own way of handling this. It's late, you can all go and rest."
"Yes!"
Seeing those people leave one after another, Li Feng felt that the opportunity she had been secretly waiting for was almost here.
As long as Chu Jingyun was dead...
However, after those people left, Chu Jingyun walked out of the tent alone.
She had lost an opportunity for nothing! But Li Feng still carefully followed behind him.
Along the way, patrolling soldiers came in an endless stream. If Li Feng hadn't honed her light-footed skills to perfection, she would have been discovered long ago, yet she still broke out in a cold sweat! However, she wasn't afraid of the soldiers, but rather of losing her chance to assassinate Chu Jingyun if she were discovered.
Knowing Chu Jingyun's character, if she failed on her first attempt, she would never have another chance. Therefore, she had to consider carefully; if she didn't act, she wouldn't act at all, but if she did, she would definitely take Chu Jingyun's head!
Li Feng cautiously followed Chu Jingyun. They walked out of the military camp and came to a small river. Along the way, Li Feng had several opportunities to strike, but she gave them up each time. Because she felt she wasn't confident!
Chu Jingyun, however, seemed completely oblivious to the assassin lurking beside him who could take his life at any moment, still enjoying the enchanting night view of the frontier.
Looking at the round moon, only a small crescent, Chu Jingyun suddenly missed the women in the capital and Suzhou. He wondered how they were doing? Did they think of him at night?
Sigh. Chu Jingyun shook his head and sighed.
"Fine rain falls, gentle breeze sways, relying on a heart full of unwavering love; white snow falls, the Yellow River becomes turbid, let it be heartless and wound my heart. Put down the sword in my hand, I willingly call back the love in my heart. Fate has run its course, why must I be alone? You are on the other side of the world, how can my deep affection for you be fully expressed in a few words… fully expressed… I don't crave a single wish, yet I think of your face again, day and night, on this long road of life, I see your eyes, tender as water. Our fate in this life, let's continue in the next. What is love? We pledge our lives to each other. If you are by my side, I envy neither the mandarin ducks nor the immortals…"
A somewhat melancholic song flowed from Chu Jingyun's lips. As if infected by the song's sorrowful melody, Chu Jingyun slowly sat down by the river, like a traveler far from home, sentimental
and melancholic. A good opportunity! Seeing Chu Jingyun's low spirits, Li Feng's vigilance lessened; this was indeed a good opportunity to assassinate him! Just as Li Feng was about to make his move, Chu Jingyun moved. He leaped up from the ground and jumped into the river.
With a splash, the spray of water shimmered under the moonlight, as captivating as crystal. Chu Jingyun swam in the river for a while, then casually took off his clothes and tossed them onto the bank!
He then stretched out his arms, leaned against a large rock, and comfortably closed his eyes, seemingly enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.
Time waits for no one! Li Feng seized the opportunity, displaying her exceptional lightness skill, silently leaping to the rock where Chu Jingyun was leaning. The dagger in her hand gleamed coldly, its sharp blade aimed directly at Chu Jingyun's back!
Just as she took a few steps, she caught a whiff of a strange fragrance, but she couldn't care less. Now, she only wanted to take Chu Jingyun's head with her own hands!
Closer!
Even closer!
Watching the dagger draw ever closer to Chu Jingyun's skin, Li Feng's heart nearly leaped out of her chest! She had never expected her operation to go so smoothly, nor had she anticipated Chu Jingyun's lack of vigilance!
Could it be that even Heaven doesn't want this demon to disappear and wants to use its own hand to rid the scourge?
But if there truly are such things as gods, Chu Jingyun would have died countless times in his previous life, and wouldn't be living such a fulfilling life in this world!
Just as the tip of the dagger was about to pierce Chu Jingyun's skin, his body suddenly vanished from Li Feng's sight! The rock he was leaning against had shattered into countless small pebbles, clearly crushed by a powerful force!
"You—"
Li Feng hadn't expected that what seemed like a near-success would completely fail! However, even if the assassination failed, she would take down Chu Jingyun by force! Every day this demon existed, another innocent person would die!
Chu Jingyun remained submerged in the water, but his exposed chest muscles made Li Feng blush. Apart from her deceased husband, she had never seen another man's body. But now, she only wanted to kill Chu Jingyun!
However, Chu Jingyun didn't summon any soldiers. Instead, he stood in the water with his arms crossed, saying, "I never expected to meet such a beautiful woman on such a lovely night. It's truly my blessing!"
"Bah!"
Li Feng brandished her dagger, angrily shouting, "Shameless scoundrel! Tonight is your death day!"
With the last word, Li Feng stabbed at Chu Jingyun like a ghost! But her other hand had somehow produced a second dagger!
Chu Jingyun dodged the attack, his movements as agile as a dragon lurking in the water.
"Give me your life!"
Li Feng threw a dagger at Chu Jingyun, while she herself stabbed at him again with another.
However, their martial arts skills seemed vastly different. Chu Jingyun swiftly extended one hand, managing to catch the dagger between two fingers! Just as Li Feng's follow-up attack was about to land, he also thrust forward with the dagger he had caught. The two daggers collided, sparking a brilliant flash!
Seeing her attack blocked, Li Feng stepped onto the water's surface with one foot and swept her other leg out, striking Chu Jingyun heavily in the chest. However, Li Feng felt as if her foot had struck a steel plate, causing excruciating pain.
Chu Jingyun, far from being kicked away, stood firmly and grabbed her ankle.
"Ah!"
With nowhere to brace herself, Li Feng fell into the water with a "plop." But that damned demon still wouldn't let go of her foot! In desperation, Li Feng quickly concentrated her inner strength in her other leg, held her breath, and struck Chu Jingyun's waist with all her might!
"Bang!"
It felt like kicking a steel plate again! The powerful internal force created a large crater in the river around them. Before the water level could rise again, Li Feng twisted her waist forcefully, using her grabbed feet as a fulcrum, and floated back up in the water! Her dagger was still there, that was enough! The dagger swiftly stabbed towards Chu Jingyun's right eye!
Left with no choice, Chu Jingyun released Li Feng's legs and leaped back several feet.
However, when Chu Jingyun looked at Li Feng again, he was stunned! Li Feng's soaked clothes clung tightly to her graceful curves, her breasts and buttocks perfectly sculpted! Her peach-blossom-red face was covered in water droplets, making her look even more mature and alluring.
Her pearly teeth were biting her full lower lip, as if enduring something. Due to her wetness, her clothes clung tightly to her high, firm breasts.
She was absolutely a beauty!
But, the next moment!
Li Feng's body suddenly jerked backward! That powerful internal force barely created distance between the two!
Chu Jingyun didn't chase after her, but stood still, quietly watching the graceful figure slowly disappear into the night!
"Your Highness!"
Just then, the patrolling soldiers arrived from afar!
"It's alright!"
Chu Jingyun nodded, then suddenly said, "You all go and rest! I'm changing our route! We're not going back to the border town!"
"Not going back to the border town? Then..."
A chilling glint flashed in Chu Jingyun's eyes: "We're attacking the next city in Aolai Kingdom!"
"Attack the next city!"
The subordinate general looked at Chu Jingyun in disbelief, saying with some difficulty, "This... please forgive my bluntness! The reason we were able to capture this city this time was entirely because we had the advantage of timing and popular support! However, if we continue deeper, we are likely to fall into a passive situation! Moreover, the enemy is probably already prepared!"
"I know!"
Chu Jingyun looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and said firmly, "Don't worry! I won't let my brothers go to their deaths!"
Brothers!
Just those three simple words suddenly warmed the hearts of the subordinate generals!
This is the art of imperial power!
Sometimes, winning people's hearts doesn't necessarily require money! A simple sentence can have a very positive effect!
Just like two armies facing each other! One general shouted, "Soldiers, charge!"
while another general yelled, "Brothers, follow me!"
The words were similar, but the effects were drastically different!
"All's fair in war!"
Chu Jingyun's gaze shifted to these lieutenants, and he sneered, "Remember this! We...we bear the mission of protecting our motherland! We must protect our compatriots! Now, our brothers have been killed! Can we remain indifferent?"
Perhaps Chu Jingyun had struck a nerve with them; these generals trembled, their eyes flashing with cold light! Indeed, the pain of seeing one's brothers die before one's eyes was truly unbearable!
"But, as for Her Majesty the Empress, we...Your Highness, we haven't received Her Majesty's order to wage war yet!"
"That's irrelevant! I'll write a letter now, and you can send someone to deliver it back to the capital!"
Chu Jingyun's tone left no room for doubt!
Since Qingxin Pavilion won't come out! Then I'll fight my way all the way to the capital of Aolai Kingdom!
And at this very moment, in the city closest to the border of Aolai Kingdom...
A somber mood hung over the Zhennan General's mansion in Aolai Kingdom!
"This Chu Jingyun is so cruel!"
Zhennan General Li An slammed the military report in his hand to the ground! "He actually... he actually massacred the residents of an entire city!"
Such a crime was utterly outrageous!
That was an entire city!
At least tens of thousands of civilians!
They were... mercilessly slaughtered!
"Then... General, what should we do?"
Li An's face was grim. "Immediately send this message to His Majesty in the capital! Also, pass on my order: the entire army is on high alert. We're setting off tomorrow!"
"Hmm... this is..."
Li An looked at the intelligence report in his hand, at the portrait, and his tall body suddenly trembled violently! A storm raged within him! "This is Chu Jingyun?"
"Yes! This portrait was painted by a famous master based on the accounts of our soldiers who managed to escape!"
the lowly border general said tremblingly. After all, this was the first time he had seen this renowned Zhennan General!
However, at this moment...
Suddenly, a young woman dressed in a dark red silk robe burst through the door!
Behind her was a little girl of eleven or twelve!
The young woman wasn't particularly tall, appearing to be only a little over 1.6 meters, petite and delicate! However, her figure was incredibly graceful!
A mature charm, typical of a girl from a well-to-do family, was fully displayed on her!
The little girl behind her bore a striking resemblance to her! She was currently tucking in the beautiful woman's sleeves, her face streaked with tears!
"Madam, what's wrong?"
Li An, seeing his wife and daughter, felt a surge of displeasure!
"Master! Why haven't you sent anyone out to find our son yet!"
The beautiful woman's face was filled with pain; she had run so far that her breathing was rapid, and she was drenched in sweat!
Li An's expression was grim; he hurriedly hid the portrait of Chu Jingyun, which he had injured, behind his back! However, his action aroused suspicion in the beautiful young woman before him: "What are you hiding behind your back?"
"This... Oh! Madam! I'm discussing matters of state! You should go back first!"
Li An said somewhat awkwardly, but seeing his wife still trying to snatch the portrait from his hands, he quickly stood up to avoid her!
But the beautiful young woman suddenly grabbed his collar, and with her other hand, she immediately snatched the portrait from his hands!
"This... My son! This is my son!"
The beautiful young woman suddenly burst into tears, clutching the portrait! "Master, tell me, where is our son?"
"This is no unfilial son of ours!"
Li An snatched the portrait from his wife's hands, slammed it onto the coffee table, and roared, "Look closely! This is not our son at all! He is Chu Jingyun of the Celestial Dynasty!"
"Not...our son?"
The beautiful young woman stared intently at the portrait, then covered her mouth in astonishment. "How is this possible! How can there be someone in the world who looks so much like him!"
The portrait depicted Chu Jingyun, riding a majestic warhorse!
"It seems...he really isn't our son!"
The beautiful woman sighed with disappointment! Her son had run away from home three months ago! There had been no news of him since!
But the man in the portrait looked so much like her son! The only difference was that he was more imposing, more exuding a masculine aura!
Sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, tall and handsome! "This…is this really not my son? But…he really…looks so much like him!"
Tears of pain suddenly welled in the mature woman's eyes!

[095] A tender, ambiguous
moon shines brightly in the sparse stars. The bright moon hangs lonely in the sky! Soft moonlight pours down, like a giant waterfall cascading from the heavens!
At this moment, in a secluded mountain forest in Aolai Kingdom!
Here, towering trees fill the view, their dense leaves blocking out all light, making it almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face! A gentle breeze rustles through the leaves!
Beyond this vast forest lies a very wide valley!
A clear stream flows around the valley.
The moonlight is bright, leaves dance in the air, and the sound of flowing water is delightful.
In this secluded valley, a magnificent palace stands tall. Surrounded by no other buildings, it stands out like a crane among chickens.
At the very top of this grand palace,
bathed in moonlight, a thin veil of mist appears ethereal and dreamlike.
This floor has no roof tiles; in the center stands a large altar. Before the altar stands a woman in flowing white robes.
Her eyebrows are like willow leaves, her eyes bright as autumn water, her teeth white as pearls, and her lips are delicately defined with soft, slightly upturned lines. Her eyes are fixed on the moon above, her expression complex, shifting between excitement, shyness, sorrow, and lamentation.
Such a mature and alluring woman makes one want to hold her close and cherish her.
Her bright, phoenix-shaped eyes were like a clear, transparent pool of autumn water, her brows brimming with a noble and elegant spirit that drew the eye. Her cherry-red lips were slightly pursed, and her delicate nose, adorning her flawless, jade-like face, was strikingly beautiful. She appeared so noble and elegant, yet simultaneously possessed a fresh and understated charm!
"Is...it really going to be this way?"
This mature and beautiful woman suddenly sighed deeply, her expression filled with indescribable sorrow!
However, under the moonlight, her cheeks also held a hint of shyness!
Her exquisite features perfectly complemented her flawless, moon-like face. Her thick, black hair was styled in a high, elegant updo, dignified and graceful!
"Yun'er! How can your mother...choose?"
The beautiful woman clasped her hands together, seemingly in prayer, but then sighed, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy!"
Thinking of what she was about to do, Ning Chuhan felt immense shame! But she had no choice!
Because it was her mission! It was her responsibility!
After all, she was a mother!
But that one thing...it was too shocking! How could she...do this?
Was it right?
Was it wrong?
Ning Chuhan didn't know!
"Or is this what they call...fate? Or...tragedy?"
Ning Chuhan murmured softly, but her face flushed like a young girl in love!
Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, or willow leaves, hazy like distant mountains. Her eyes were bright and clear, watery yet deep and luminous, filled with a tender sweetness. With her mature charm, she was simply a beauty descended from heaven!
She was so graceful and elegant; every movement, every word, exuded a noble air!
It was a natural, dignified elegance, every gesture without the slightest affectation, a natural charm that inspired no thought of disrespect!
"You rascal!"
Ning Chuhan suddenly whined, seemingly thinking of some man! But to have such a mature and beautiful woman think of that man was truly fortunate!
Every smile and frown of hers was so mature and charming, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs, yet possessing an allure that was like a deadly poison to men!
This beautiful noblewoman in a white dress could absolutely be described as "stunningly beautiful"! Her long legs were crossed, her waist slender and delicate, her upper body upright, her breasts the focus of men's gaze, the full, snowy peaks rising and falling slightly, tempting one to reach out and touch them.
"What's your decision?"
Just as Ning Chuhan was pondering, a clear female voice suddenly rang out from afar!
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuhan's mature body trembled! Her tall, slender figure slowly turned around, appearing ethereal and otherworldly under the moonlight!
"Is it difficult to choose?"
Ning Ziyun, dressed in a purple dress, possessed a beauty no less striking than Ning Chuhan's, and a figure almost identical!
These two mature women, bearing a striking resemblance, were actually mother and daughter?
Unlike Ning Chuhan's delicate and charming nature, Ning Ziyun exuded a vibrant and spirited aura, alluring in every movement!
The purple dress enveloped her mature, curvaceous figure, yet revealed an incredibly alluring, exquisite curve!
"I—"
Faced with this beautiful woman's question, Ning Chuhan felt truly unable to choose!
Seeing her daughter's pained expression, Ning Ziyun couldn't help but scold Chu Jingyun: "Han'er, since you're unwilling, then let that brat fend for himself! Anyway, you're not willing to sacrifice yourself for him!"
"No! I, I... I'm not... no, no! I am... ah... it's just..."
Ning Chuhan suddenly became anxious, her words becoming somewhat incoherent.
"Just what?"
Ning Ziyun raised an eyebrow.
Ning Chuhan, however, kept her head down, her expression a mixture of resistance and helplessness: "He... he's my son after all! How could I..."
"So you're just going to watch him die because of the 'Heaven-Destroying Technique'?"
Ning Ziyun said bluntly, "If you're going to make a decision, then hurry up! Otherwise, even if Chu Jingyun didn't die because of the 'Heaven-Destroying Technique,' I'll fight to the death to kill him!"
"No! You can't!"
Ning Chuhan's tone changed: "He's your grandson!"
"Isn't he your son too?"
Ning Ziyun said irritably, "Do you know? Your son has led an army to attack Aolai Kingdom in search of you! If you don't show yourself soon, there will probably be widespread bloodshed!"
"What? Yun'er actually led an army to attack Aolai Kingdom?"
Ning Chuhan was startled, never expecting her son to care about her so much! A touch of emotion welled up within her.
"Then... what do I do now?"
Ning Chuhan looked pitifully at the mature, beautiful woman who appeared to be her sister but was actually her mother. "If I show up, Yun'er will definitely take me away! Then I won't be able to complete my cultivation for him!"
Ning Ziyun smiled gently. "That's alright! Try your best to persuade him to stop! After all, this is Aolai Kingdom. Even if Chu Jingyun is powerful, he's just one person! In terms of military strength, Aolai Kingdom has more than ten times his army! Most importantly, do you know... Chu Jingyun... actually... ordered a massacre of the city!"
"A massacre?"
Ning Chuhan was stunned. The thought that her son could slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians in a city was unbelievable. "This... can't be real, right?"
"Do you think I have time to joke with you now? Han'er, you should go see him! Tell him to hurry back to the Celestial Empire! Otherwise, if Aolai Kingdom reacts, it will be dangerous for him to leave safely!"
The cycle of fate is inescapable. Perhaps, the wheel of destiny has already begun to turn!
The mighty Yangtze River flows eastward for three thousand miles!
On one side of this swiftly flowing river, a man riding a white steed could only gaze intently at the opposite bank! There lay a relatively remote city of Aolai Kingdom!
"Your Highness, what do we do now?"
A subordinate general looked worriedly at the densely packed enemy army across the river! They had been inside Aolai Kingdom for several days, and now they had finally encountered a resisting army!
Chu Jingyun sat silently on his horse for a long while before finally ordering, "Pass down the order: the entire army rest! Have men prepare boats for crossing the river! Remember, the boats must be linked end to end, two large boats must be side by side!"
"This way, our army will suffer a devastating attack before even reaching the shore! And if the enemy uses fire, then—"
Before the lieutenant could finish, Chu Jingyun waved his hand and said, "Don't rush! Just do as I say! Remember, the first to attack must be some physically strong charging soldiers!"
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Although they didn't know what Chu Jingyun was up to, after this series of events, these lieutenants had begun to blindly worship Chu Jingyun, this king of a different surname from the Celestial Empire!
The winds rose and the clouds surged, the sun rose and the moon set! As the new sun rose on the horizon, dispelling the darkest dawn, the horns of reunion were immediately sounded!
"Brothers charging ahead, follow me!"
Chu Jingyun charged forward, spear in hand, towards the opposite bank of the great river! The two large ships joined together, and a kilometer-long bridge was immediately connected to the other side!
The enemy on the other side also began their attack! They were fiercely defending the narrow passage! With 100,000 men blocking the road formed by the two large ships, they truly possessed the courage of one man holding off ten thousand!
Unfortunately, what they were trying to stop was a ruthless killer!
Chu Jingyun leaped from his horse, jumping into the air!
"Monkey! Rat! Charge!"
Chu Jingyun whistled, and as soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow darted out from the distant sky!
Its speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!
"Squeak squeak..."
A white gliding rat moved at high speed in the sky! And standing on its sad little yellow monkey, it held a short, sharp dagger in one hand and a large cloth bag in the other!
As they hovered above the enemy, the monkey ripped open the cloth bag!
A stream of white medicinal powder immediately leaked out! Upon contact with the air, the powder instantly emitted thick white smoke, accompanied by a yellow haze!
"Quick! Cover your noses and mouths! That's poisonous smoke! Quick!"
an enemy general roared. However, his reaction was a beat too slow! The yellowish-white poisonous gas had already begun to spread rapidly!
Soldiers who inhaled the gas quickly collapsed, foaming at the mouth!
Some soldiers who reacted quickly managed to survive! However, covering their mouths slowed their movements considerably!
"Kill!"
Chu Jingyun's face revealed a cruel smile as he gave the order to charge to his soldiers! These soldiers had already taken the antidote and were naturally unafraid of the poisonous smoke!
"Withdraw! Retreat!"
"Too late!"
Chu Jingyun sneered, his eerie figure plunging into the dense ranks of the enemy! Nine figures flashed into existence! The power of the Spiral Nine Shadows was simply beyond the resistance of ordinary soldiers!
Chu Jingyun's weapon mercilessly reaped the lives of his enemies! He was like a wolf among sheep, slaughtering the surrounding soldiers!
With a single move, "Rainbow Piercing the Sun," he slashed away the enemy's forbidden techniques, then descended from mid-air like a roc spreading its wings, effortlessly slaughtering the defenseless foes!
In this great battle, Chu Jingyun's side gained the upper hand! They caught the enemy completely off guard!
"Where is Qingxin Pavilion?"
Chu Jingyun leaped onto the back of an enemy general's horse, his longsword pressed against the general's neck!
"Qing...Qingxin Pavilion? I...I don't know—ah!"
Before the general could finish speaking, Chu Jingyun's sword had already drawn blood from his neck!
"Where is Qingxin Pavilion?"
Chu Jingyun then leaped to the side of another enemy general, his sword pressed against his neck in the same manner!
"I don't know—ah!"
Before the other could finish speaking, Chu Jingyun had already delivered the killing blow!
In this short half-hour, the enemy had already beaten their drums three times! But they still hadn't reversed their disadvantage at all; on the contrary, they were retreating step by step!
As the saying goes, "One drumbeat rouses the spirit, the first weakens, the third exhausts it!" This was exactly the principle! Now, they were psychologically afraid of the army led by this murderous demon!
This psychological fear before the battle even began made the battle situation even more one-sided!
"General! The city gates have fallen!"
The local commander looked at the Heavenly Dynasty soldiers rushing into the city with a deathly pale face! He suddenly drew his sword from his waist and raised it above his head: "To die for the country! To die a worthy death!"
"As you wish!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind the commander! Even though he had already accepted his fate, the commander was still so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back!
"I'll give you one chance! Tell me, where is Qingxin Pavilion?"
Chu Jingyun asked with a cold smile, his long sword pointing directly at the back of the other's head!
"Qingxin Pavilion?"
This general clearly possessed remarkable composure, managing to remain calm even in the face of such a situation! "What do you want with Qingxin Pavilion?"
*Whoosh!*
The sword flashed, a cold light gleaming, and the general's right arm flew off!
"Ah!"
The intense pain contorted his face into a groan!
Unfortunately, Chu Jingyun remained unmoved! "Speak! Where is Qingxin Pavilion?"
Suppressing the excruciating pain, the general bit his lip, determined not to utter a sound! "Want to know where Qingxin Pavilion is? You're dreaming! Pah!"
With that, he spat water at Chu Jingyun!
Chu Jingyun dodged it with a slight movement, and at the same time, his longsword fell back down, a few drops of blood staining the tip!
Standing atop the city wall, Chu Jingyun coldly surveyed the scene below! Most of his soldiers had already breached the city walls!
"Brothers of the Celestial Empire, listen! We need no prisoners! We will not allow any living enemy to stand before us! Go! Vent your pent-up anger! Avenge our brothers who died before our eyes! Slay all the enemies... with our swords! We will let those nations that dare to invade us know! Those who offend our Celestial Empire will be torn to pieces!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
Upon receiving Chu Jingyun's orders, these soldiers instantly became like maddened beasts, completely shattering the enemy's remaining lines of defense!
One hundred thousand enemy troops! More than ten thousand were poisoned to death! More than fifty thousand were killed, and the remaining forty thousand were also seriously wounded, ultimately forced to flee in all directions!
In this city! Now only the ferocious soldiers of the Celestial Empire remained!
Although this city was not large, the one hundred thousand defending troops had still inflicted considerable casualties on Chu Jingyun's side! More than thirty thousand were killed or wounded!
But that was the total number of dead and wounded! To be precise, the number of dead soldiers definitely did not exceed 20,000!
And now, those soldiers who had lost their loved ones and friends were venting their pent-up rage on this city!
War is always so cruel!
It's either you die or I die!
The entire city was ablaze with firelight, illuminating half the sky! The sounds of charging, shouting, and pleas converged into a final, tragic symphony!
Chu Jingyun remained atop the city wall, gazing at the mountain of corpses. Though a pang of pity lingered in his heart, he was also filled with a vengeful thrill!
Since Qingxin Pavilion wouldn't come out, he would charge in himself!
This battle lasted only four hours! What followed was the brutal massacre of the city by the Celestial Empire's army!
Until the next morning…
the once vibrant city had become a dead city!
Rivers of blood flowed, corpses littered the ground!
A raging fire engulfed this blood-soaked, dead city!
"Alright! We've gone quite deep this time! Let's retreat to the border of Aolai Kingdom to resupply!"
Chu Jingyun ordered.
After several life-or-death battles, these once-fiery lads were not only exhausted, but also incredibly excited!
Because their hands were stained with the blood of countless enemies!
A cool breeze blew, and the army, encamped on a grassland, began their first rest after the intense fighting!
They were tired! Really tired!
Chu Jingyun, however, tossed and turned in his tent, unable to sleep! The thought of his mother being captured by the Qingxin Pavilion filled him with worry!
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, Chu Jingyun got out of bed! He silently walked outside!
The vast grassland was now only filled with the faint chirping of insects!
But Chu Jingyun, who was still worried about his mother, suddenly tensed up!
Because he heard a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar footstep!
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a woman in a white silk robe hurrying towards them!
Her figure was fiery and alluring, tall and well-proportioned, almost a perfect golden ratio. Her arms were slender and delicate, her hands like soft shoots, her shoulders like carved jade, her waist slender and graceful, her hips slightly rounded with a perfect curve! Her long, slender legs crossed as she walked slowly, her steps graceful and swaying! "Turning her head and taking a step, she was like a willow swaying and a flower smiling in its first bloom..." "Yes..."
Chu Jingyun trembled all over! His gaze involuntarily fell on the woman's face! Even after confirming he wasn't seeing things, he still couldn't quite believe it!
But this woman was so captivating! Chu Jingyun's gaze also involuntarily fell on her full, round breasts!
Proudly firm and round, her peaks bounced slightly with her steps, seemingly about to burst forth, alluring and captivating! The flowing robe accentuated her high, majestic breasts, which swayed and jiggled beautifully, their curves so alluring that one couldn't help but want to reach out and grasp them, to fondle them thoroughly!
As the stunningly beautiful woman drew closer, Chu Jingyun's heart fluttered, his emotions surging! Her unique and elegant demeanor made her seem untouchable!
"You…"
Chu Jingyun wanted to say something, but the words caught in his throat! He was so excited he could barely speak! He desperately wanted to ask her why she had suddenly returned!
"You child!"
Ning Chuhan rolled her eyes at the man before her, then Lian Shan suddenly showed a pained expression: "Why did you do this! Those are countless lives! You, you just—"
Ning Chuhan's words were interrupted by Chu Jingyun: "Who told the Qingxin Pavilion to capture you! If they keep hiding like this, I wouldn't mind attacking the capital of Aolai Kingdom!"
"Slap!"
A slap broke the silence of the night!
Looking at the woman before him, Chu Jingyun suddenly smelled a mature fragrance! He covered his cheek with his hand and smiled bitterly: "This is the second time you've hit me!"
The last time was when Chu Jingyun had taken liberties with Xia Yunxi, the wife of the White Jade Sword Saint Qin Tian!
And this time, it was because of Chu Jingyun's cruelty! He could actually heartlessly order the massacre of the city!
"Don't you know I care about you? As long as the people of Qingxin Pavilion don't hand you over, I will make sure Aolai Kingdom is drenched in blood!"
Chu Jingyun stood with his back to the wind, his words carrying a certain imposing aura!
Ning Chuhan felt a strange stirring in her heart, yet she couldn't utter a word!
But the next moment, Chu Jingyun's actions made her panic! Chu Jingyun stepped forward slightly, reaching out a hand to grab her slender waist, pulling her tall, mature body into his embrace!
She instinctively wanted to resist! But Chu Jingyun's arms were so strong! He tightly encircled her slender waist, preventing her from moving! Although separated by a pair of glasses, Chu Jingyun could still clearly feel the warmth of the beauty in his arms and the smooth, elastic, snow-white skin!
Holding her tightly, Chu Jingyun finally felt that he truly possessed her! And he didn't have to worry that the beauty in his arms would suddenly leave him!
As he inhaled the mature fragrance emanating from the beauty, and felt her delicate, flawless skin against his chest, Chu Jingyun became completely intoxicated!
"Let me go!"
A numbing current surged through her body, instantly coursing through her mature, voluptuous form, a wave of pleasure washing over her. Ning Chuhan's voice trembled slightly with anger as she said, "Let go!"
However, Chu Jingyun ignored her resistance. One arm tightly embraced the beautiful woman's slender waist, while the other encircled her fragrant shoulder! Her waist was as slender as a willow, easily encircled. Her shoulders were rounded and full, soft and smooth!
"Just let me...hold you for a moment!"
Chu Jingyun embraced her mature body, resting his chin on her shoulder, gently breathing warm air into her ear: "Do you know how worried I've been about you these past few days!"
"..."
A strange feeling welled up in Ning Chuhan's heart. Her delicate body instinctively struggled in the man's arms, but her pointless resistance was destined to be futile!
