Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 205 How can a thousand troops withstand the might of one man?

Li Chengru paused here, his voice growing increasingly excited as he said, "Back then, my second and third sons only reached my calves, and Wan'er had just learned to walk. I spent all my time taking them around the palace, playing together, getting into trouble together, getting scolded together, and eating delicious food together. Especially when Wan'er was asleep, the three of us would protect her like bodyguards. We even swore back then that we wouldn't let her be bullied by any bad boys. Later, after Consort Yi's little one was born, we were even happier because we had one more little dumpling to protect!"

As Li Chengru spoke, two tears rolled down his cheeks.

Leng Feibai knew that this tough guy in the army was truly heartbroken.

But everything has changed!

Li Chengru recalled that day he didn't want to face: "That day was my father's birthday. The second son personally copied a painting by a great calligrapher from the previous dynasty and presented it to my father. On that very day, my father, beaming with pride, said to the court officials, 'This son is just like me!' At that moment, the faces of all the officials and several empresses changed. After that, the second son and the crown prince completely broke off relations and fought each other to the death."

As Li Chengru spoke, his face became somewhat sullen, as if he wished he had a few jars of good wine at hand so he could get thoroughly drunk.

Seeing Li Chengru's expression, Leng Feibai immediately stepped forward to interrupt him, saying, "Brother Li, now is not the time to talk about this."

After speaking, Leng Feibai glanced at the busy soldiers around him and stepped forward to reassure them, "I'm not one to gossip, but I still have to say something. What your father did was utterly inhuman!"

Upon hearing the last four words, Li Chengru didn't answer, but simply nodded, then sighed and said, "Now I really don't know what to do. Once this rebellion is quelled and Fan Xian ascends the throne, the second and third sons probably won't survive either. At that time..."

"Brother Li!"

Seeing this, Leng Feibai stepped forward to comfort him, but before he could speak, a bugle call rang out from outside the city.

The two men's expressions changed, and they immediately looked into the distance.

Then, soldiers clad in armor rushed out from the roadside in the distance, carrying spears, steel swords, and other weapons, and charged towards Kyoto.

"coming!"

Upon seeing this, Li Chengru waved his hand and shouted, "Archers, prepare!"

The soldiers with bows and arrows were about to make their move when Leng Feibai stopped them.

"Brother Li!"

Leng Feibai calmly said, "Leave this to me!"

Before Li Chengru could react, Leng Feibai took to the air and flew straight toward Li Chengze's camp.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing this, the deputy general beside Li Chengru couldn't help but ask, "What is Young Master Leng trying to do?"

Li Chengru was also completely baffled and couldn't help but say, "Let's wait and see. He's not a reckless person!"

Leng Feibai stood in mid-air, his roar echoing throughout the entire capital city.

"Li Chengze, you're celebrating too soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an unparalleled aura erupted from Leng Feibai's body.

The moment this aura was unleashed, both Li Chengru on the city wall and Li Chengze in the military camp changed their expressions instantly.

They were all too familiar with this aura, having experienced it more than once in the palace when they were children.

They later learned that it was a special ability unique to Grandmasters.

At that moment, joy and resentment appeared on the faces of Li Chengru and Li Chengze respectively.

"That kid Leng Feibai has returned to the Grandmaster realm!"

As soon as Li Chengru finished speaking, the soldiers on the city wall felt a surge of confidence, their anxiety vanishing instantly. Seeing this, Leng Feibai raised his hand, and his powerful true qi formed a force field that enveloped the entire camp.

In an instant, whether they were soldiers on the battlefield or those left behind in the camp, they all felt an immense force pressing down on them and were pinned to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Leng Feibai raised his hand and grabbed, and the Arctic Magnetic Power, which had long been part of the Five Elements Qi Divine Skill, immediately exerted its powerful effect.

The sounds of breaking and tearing echoed across the battlefield. The armor and weapons of Li Chengze's soldiers were drawn away from their bodies by Leng Feibai's true qi and flew into the air.

This was only because Leng Feibai showed mercy; otherwise, he could have used his true qi as a medium to extract all the iron from the soldiers' blood, thus killing them.

The weapons and armor that flew into the air hovered around Leng Feibai.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai secretly increased the pressure of the Five Elements Force Field, directly knocking out the soldiers below who belonged to Li Chengze.

In just three minutes, this once formidable army ceased to pose any threat.

In the military camp, Li Chengze, filled with resentment, gritted his teeth as he watched Leng Feibai gracefully descend from the sky.

"You actually have such methods!"

Li Chengze pointed at Leng Feibai and laughed on the spot, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is. No wonder you came to persuade me that day, because no matter what choice I make, I won't become a threat to you."

Seeing this, Xie Bi'an drew his sword and stood in front of Li Chengze, but was pulled away by him.

"Take my life!"

Li Chengze gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you spare Xie Bi'an, you can take my life!"

"Think too much!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I'm here to take you back, not to kill you. After all, the guy who used you as a whetstone is really dead!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai raised his hand and waved it, sending out two bursts of energy that knocked the two of them unconscious.

On the city wall, Li Chengru looked at Xie Bi'an and Li Chengze, who were unconscious, brought back by Leng Feibai, and said with a hint of complaint, "Why didn't you say you had this ability sooner? You made us go through all this trouble for nothing! By the way, when did you recover?"

After listening, Leng Feibai calmly said, "I fought with Ye Liuyun in Jiangnan last time, and I've been slowly comprehending it ever since. I finally recovered successfully three days ago."

"It's good that you've recovered!"

As soon as Li Chengru finished speaking, Leng Feibai pointed to the unconscious soldiers outside the city and said, "They should wake up in about fifteen minutes. You'd better go out of the city now and tie them up. I'll go first and deal with the rebels in the east of the city! Oh, and after that, bring Li Chengze back to the court; some things are related to him!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai immediately used his lightness skill to fly away. Looking at the unconscious Li Chengze, Li Chengru sighed and ordered his men to arrest all the unconscious soldiers.

The area east of the city is also in chaos at this moment. Neither Fan Xian nor Shadow is skilled in battlefield command. If it weren't for the help of the garrison commander, the place would probably be in complete disarray.

"Fan Xian, it seems you guys are quite busy here!"

Leng Feibai's voice suddenly rang out, causing the people on the city wall to look over in a distraction.

"Brother Feibai!"

Fan Xian looked at Leng Feibai flying in the sky and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here? From the south of the city!"

"already solved!"

Leng Feibai said lazily, "I'm coming over now to help you take care of the Crown Prince's men!"
