Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 114 Slaying the Medicine King Island Master

"Fifty-six million points." Lu Ming looked at the number displayed above and couldn't help but smile.

This is already quite a lot of points.

If this battle is won, this number should increase several times over.

Next, I took a look at the items in the store.

If we could upgrade it to the next level, the items in the shop would be even more advanced.

[Spirit Ascension Pill, 200 million points (A pill that can upgrade warhorses. After a mount consumes it, it can activate the bloodline of its ancestral beast, greatly increasing its speed and strength)]

[The method for refining the Innate Pill, 200 million points]

[Qi Refining Pill Recipe, 300 million points]

As Lu Ming browsed through the higher-level items in the shop, a fleeting look of excitement crossed his eyes.

If he could acquire these, his foundation would be greatly enhanced.

Putting everything else aside, just one Spirit Ascension Pill could completely solve the cavalry problem.

Nowadays, when heavy cavalry like the Ironclad Cavalry charge, their warhorses are always showing signs of fatigue.

Moreover, it's really strenuous to have one person and three horses.

They were all ordinary riders.

If we can refine the Spirit Enhancement Pill, it will greatly increase the strength and endurance of warhorses.

The cavalry's attack power will increase several times over.

Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

Next, we just have to wait for this incident to unfold.

The six coastal prefectures were recovered by themselves.

The imperial court should definitely promote him.

After returning, he instructed Bai Yan to write a memorial requesting commendation.

Then, he took the roasted meat from the soldier and began to gnaw on it.

Zhang Mu and the others standing nearby were also quite relaxed, eating with their mouths full of oil.

In the following days, Lu Ming and Zhang Mu and their men incorporated all 100,000 prisoners into the army.

He then led a personal guard and five disciples from the immortal sect away.

This place isn't far from Hongdu Prefecture.

However, it only took half a day to get here.

On the way back, however, Lu Ming did not seem to have any intention of returning soon. He walked and stopped frequently, and did not enter Hongdu City for a whole day.

Until it got dark.

It was still dozens of miles away from the city.

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to set up camp.

They actually have to sleep outdoors.

Although we don't know what he was thinking, the other party gave the order.

Of course, no one dared to object, and since this was already Yunzhou's territory, it was considered safe.

There will be no rebels.

Therefore, a campsite was set up in a short time.

Lu Ming sat in the camp, his face solemn.

A dark look appeared in his eyes.

The reason he was traveling so slowly was because he discovered that someone was secretly following him.

This person is quite powerful.

Based on his deduction, it should be the master of Medicine King Island.

That's why they set up camp here, hoping to lure the other side out.

Although he no longer has the support of the rebels and can no longer exert his full power, he is still a potential threat.

If we can kill it.

Then you can finally rest assured.

Night had fallen, and the entire camp was quiet; everyone was resting.

Only a small number of personal guards patrolled the area.

Just then, Lu Ming, who had been sitting by the campfire, opened his eyes.

A bluish-gold light flashed across his eyes.

"Sizzle!" The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Then, he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him in the night.

His sword light pierced through the darkness.

It left behind streaks of white marks.

Just then, a disciple from Medicine King Island walked out of his tent, and a dark figure came into his view.

A look of terror instantly appeared on his face.

"Master!"

"Lord be careful!"

The disciple quickly flew towards Lu Ming.

His shouts startled many people.

When everyone had run out, Lu Ming also moved.

"Whoosh!" The Dragon Sparrow Blade was drawn from his waist, slicing out a cold beam of light.

The sounds of dragons and elephants could be heard from his body.

Then, they went out to meet the dark figure holding the sword.

Golden runes appeared on his body.

At the same time, a yellowish-brown halo rose up beneath my feet.

Lu Ming's speed increased rapidly, converging into a blur.

"Bang!" Facing the sword light descending from the sky, he raised his blade and easily blocked it.

The Lord of Medicine King Island's expression changed.

He used a secret technique that allowed him to briefly unleash the power of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

I originally thought that would be enough to deal with Lu Ming.

But judging from the force transmitted from the sword's edge just now, I was wrong.

Using the opponent's immense force, he flipped backward and retreated dozens of meters.

Then, gritting his teeth, he raised his longsword and performed a set of sword techniques.

"Swoosh!" The longsword suddenly pierced through the air.

"Sword control technique?" Lu Ming muttered to himself.

He looked at the approaching sword.

He sensed a hint of threat.

"boom!"

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

Then, he leaped high into the air.

The next moment, he was standing right where he had just been.
It was pierced by the longsword.

"Boom!" A loud roar rang out.

The flat ground was carved out into a large pit more than ten feet long.

It must be said that even if one's cultivation level reaches the level of the Medicine King Island Master, one can only exert the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Yet he was still considerably stronger than those at the same level.

Lu Ming landed on the ground and locked his gaze on the Medicine King Island Master.

He drew his sword and charged forward.

His steps were very heavy, and the ground trembled with each step.

The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.

The longsword was manipulated in mid-air by the Medicine King Island Master, flying out of the ground again and stabbing towards Lu Ming's back.

Extremely fast.

"Clang!" As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he turned around and cleaved the sword in two.

"Roar!" The hand reached out and actually formed a giant, earth-yellow claw with clearly visible scales.

Then, he reached for the flying sword with his bare hands.

"Crack!" The longsword fell into the palm of the hand and spun around forcefully, as if trying to break free.

It made a piercing sound in the palm of your hand.

For a moment, sparks flew.

Lu Ming's right hand, holding the knife, slashed down fiercely.

"Bang!" The next moment, the flying sword lost its luster, and cracks appeared on it.

After casually discarding it on the ground.

Lu Ming's body shot into the sky, the blade pointing directly at the Lord of Medicine King Island.

The other person's expression changed, and they turned to run away.

But Lu Ming was not about to give him that chance.

With a grasping motion, a giant, earth-yellow python appeared in his palm.

It pushed horizontally forward.

In an instant, the giant python, which was only as thick as an adult's thigh, transformed into a bucket-sized creature several meters long as it broke through the air, and crashed into the Medicine King Island Master.

This is the divine power of the geomancer, and its power is immense.

The next moment, the island owner, who had already turned around, was bumped right into.

His chest was pierced, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

An incredulous look appeared on his ashen face.

"How could you be so strong?" the Medicine King Island Master exclaimed incredulously.

When she turned to look at Lu Ming, her eyes were filled with resentment.

He had racked his brains and schemed for countless years, and was about to succeed in seizing the land of six states.

But the other party ruined it, and I was really unwilling to accept it.

That's why he ambushed him halfway. In his view, Lu Ming only had the cultivation of the early stage of Qi Refining, and without the protection of the military formation, killing him would be as easy as turning his hand.

Who would have thought that the opponent's true strength was so formidable?

But now, it's too late to say anything.

He felt as if his internal organs had just been shattered.

Lu Ming walked slowly towards them, his steps were slow but very heavy.

His black armor gave him a powerful and imposing presence.

As he approached the Lord of Medicine King Island step by step, fear finally appeared on the other's face.

No one can face life and death easily. A blade flashed across Lu Ming's palm.

"Swoosh!" The island lord's head flew high into the air.

A jet of blood gushed out.

His body fell straight to the ground.

He died on the spot.

Following his death in battle.

The disciples of Medicine King Island standing nearby first showed disbelief on their faces, and then excitement.

Their master, who had oppressed them for over a decade, is dead.

This can be considered an indirect way of avenging his family members.

Several people knelt down around Lu Ming. "Thank you, sir, for avenging us," Sun Juan was the first to speak.

Her delicate face was filled with gratitude.

"No need for that. Just do your job well for the Governor's Office from now on," Lu Ming said calmly.

Then he turned around and went back to his own tent.

The group returned to Hongdu City the next morning.

Looking at the bustling city and recalling the scene outside, Lu Ming felt as if he had lived through another world.

Upon entering the mansion.

They saw that Zhang Meng was already waiting.

"Didn't you go and deliver grain to Wu Han?"

Lu Ming frowned as he looked at the other person.

Zhang Meng smiled obsequiously and said, "How could I forget what you ordered, sir? I sent it over a long time ago and only returned yesterday."

Lu Ming nodded and walked inside.

He continued, "How's the situation on his end?"

Zhang Meng instantly perked up.

"After General Wu Han arrived at the border, he launched an attack immediately. Our Yunzhou army won a great victory, defeating the Haizhou army in one battle and capturing more than 100,000 people, who have now been incorporated into the army."

They are currently launching an attack on the entire Haizhou region.

It won't be long before Yuzhou is also captured.

"The recapture of the six prefectures is just around the corner." Zhang Meng said, his voice brimming with excitement.

He seemed even happier than Lu Ming.

After all, when he followed Lu Ming, he never imagined that this day would come.

"That's good, there's been progress."

Lu Ming said with a smile.

Then, looking at Zhang Meng, he said, "Settle the disciples from Medicine King Island that I brought back. Give each of them a house. Also, have Bai Yan write a memorial requesting commendation for me."

"Yes, my lord!"

After Zhang Meng responded, he carefully retreated.

As for Lu Ming, he headed towards the backyard.

After being away for so many days, he's now back, and it's time to put Li Xirou's mind at ease.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw my wife already waiting for me.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, a smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

"My husband is back!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked up.

Smelling the fragrance, Lu Ming smiled indulgently and said, "You're back."

As he spoke, he took his wife's hand and led her into the house.

At this moment, the food was already laid out on the table.

"Knowing you were coming back, I prepared some of your favorite dishes."

"Not bad, this is a sea fish, isn't it?"

Lu Ming pointed to a fish and said.

It tastes very good.

"It was sent by Young Master Baili. He said it was a treasure fish caught in Zezhou Bay, and he made it for you," Li Xirou whispered.

Lu Ming nodded.

Then I picked up a piece with my chopsticks.

It tasted really good, and after eating it, I felt a surge of warmth in my body.

Although it wasn't much, he could still sense it despite his current cultivation level.

That means this treasure fish is truly extraordinary.

Then, looking at his wife, he said, "Eat more. This treasure fish is not only delicious, but it is also very beneficial to cultivation. Your cultivation is improving quickly, but you can't relax."

As he spoke, he placed a large piece on Li Xirou's plate.

Then he continued, "Is there any left at home?"

"And another thing, Young Master Baili said that he caught a lot on this voyage and sent us the best of everything."

Li Xirou said with a smile.

She is very satisfied with her life now.

"Then tomorrow, take a few to your family. Your parents are getting old, and it'll be good for their health to eat some," Lu Ming said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand." Li Xirou nodded.

After finishing a meal.

Their relationship has warmed up considerably once again.

As Lu Ming gazed at his wife, whose figure was alluring and whose face was stunningly beautiful, he found himself unable to suppress his desires.

The maidservant carefully entered.

"Master, Lord Bai has arrived."

Lu Ming nodded helplessly and looked at his wife, saying, "I'll be right back."

Then, they headed towards the front yard.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Bai Yan drinking tea.

On the table was a memorial to the emperor.

Upon seeing Lu Ming arrive, he quickly stood up and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Is the memorial requesting commendation finished?" Lu Ming asked as he sat down and picked up the memorial to read it.

As expected of Bai Yan, he finished writing so quickly.

Moreover, he was very satisfied with the contents.

The main focus is on the difficulties faced by Yunzhou, and how they defeated the rebel army amidst numerous hardships.

And how to recover the lost territory?

Even I, after seeing this, wanted to be given an official position.

"Please take a look, my lord. If there is anything inappropriate, I will revise it."

"Very good, that's all."

Lu Ming nodded, then looked outside and said, "Someone come here."

The next moment, a guard rushed in.

Lu Ming placed the memorial in his hand and said, "Have someone send this memorial to the capital as soon as possible!"

Now, the channel with the imperial court has been opened.

It would be best to inform the Empress of the Great Yu Dynasty about this matter as soon as possible.

After all, he needs to level up to unlock higher permissions in the mall.

"Yes, sir!" The guard took the memorial and carefully withdrew.

Then, Lu Ming said seriously, "This time, we must take control of these six coastal prefectures. However, I'll leave the arrangement of the officials to you."

He does have some military officers under his command now.

If you add the military formation, it might be usable, albeit barely.

However, there were indeed fewer civil officials.

He only has Bai Yan under his command.

But then again, one is enough.

Sure enough, after a moment of contemplation, Bai Yan said, "I do have some disciples who are indeed unemployed at home. We can try to find them."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "That would be the best, of course."

The two finalized some specific details regarding the recovery of the six states after their recapture.

Bai Yan left in a hurry.

As the territory expands.

He's getting busier and busier.

Lu Ming went back to the backyard to be with his wife.

In the following days, he had a rare moment of leisure and spent every day with his wife.

When they have free time, they'll take each other out for walks.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Inside the capital city, the Chaotian Hall was quiet, ever since the imperial court decided to abandon the six prefectures.

The entire court became extremely oppressive.

At this moment, no one dared to speak first.

They were afraid of angering His Majesty.

Li Yan, dragging his weary body, was about to step forward.

"Tap!"

Outside the palace gate, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

A eunuch hurried in, and as soon as he entered the hall, a sharp voice rang out.

"Urgent report from the Governor of Yunzhou!"

In an instant, all eyes turned to him.

Yunzhou, one of the six coastal prefectures, should have been destroyed long ago in everyone's eyes, so why is there news of it now?

A light suddenly flashed in Li Yan's cloudy eyes.

"Bring it up!" the Empress's cold voice rang out.

He was deeply tired and worried.

Although she had already decided to give up the six states, she still didn't want to see this news.

In her view, the memorial that had just arrived was probably a war report about the fall of the six prefectures.

His jade-like hands were clenched tightly together, and even trembled slightly.

Thank you to the generous donor for the 500 Qidian Coins, and thank you to all the donors for your monthly tickets!
