Chapter 77 begins!

Fei Hong sneered, showing no fear whatsoever.

His body also erupted with internal energy, colliding with the opponent's energy and producing a muffled "bang".

The shockwave spread outwards, whipping up the surrounding weeds.

"The Great Shun Dynasty is about to collapse, and you're still risking your lives!"

Fei Hong swung his long sword to parry the opponent's attack.

He counterattacked with lightning speed, each strike deadly.

At that moment, the commander on the right side also moved.

Instead of attacking Fei Hong, he focused his attention on Chen Zhiyang, who was standing beside him.

With a flash, his palm, carrying a powerful force, struck towards Chen Zhiyang's chest.

He noticed that Chen Zhiyang was still young and assumed he was the weakest of the three, so he wanted to eliminate this potential threat first.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Zhiyang's eyes, but he showed no fear. He circulated his internal energy freely and raised his hand to block.

The energy in his palm exploded and collided with the opponent's palm wind.

With a thud, the two men each took three steps back, leaving deep footprints in the soil beneath their feet.

"You think you can hurt me?"

Chen Zhiyang roared and charged forward again, unleashing his Xingyi Quan moves.

The fist was fierce and powerful, carrying a faint spiritual energy, and it was locked in combat with the opponent's master of internal energy.

Fists and palms clashed, their energy collided, and every move carried immense power, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

At the same time, the rogue cultivator whom Fei Hong had invited also made his move, wielding a long sword.

His movements were nimble, like a ghost, as he drew his longsword, which gleamed coldly.

He aimed straight at the back of the leader who was entangled with Fei Hong, intending to attack from both sides and finish the battle quickly.

In an instant, three fierce battles of internal energy were unfolding in the mountains and forests, with booming energy and towering waves of air.

The trees were snapped by the force of the blow, branches flew everywhere, and the ground was covered with pits of varying depths.

Fei Hong fought against a master of the Transformation Realm, his swordsmanship sharp and powerful. With his superb swordsmanship and profound internal energy, he gradually gained the upper hand.

Although Chen Zhiyang was relatively young, he relied on the exquisite Xingyi Quan and his own talent to fight endlessly with another Huajin leader.

They went back and forth, their battles difficult to resolve.

The rogue cultivators, relying on their agile movements, constantly harassed and ambushed the opponent, working together with Fei Hong to suppress him.

This left the commander, who had reached the Transformation Realm, vulnerable from both sides, gradually revealing his weaknesses.

At the same time, the hidden and overt strength subordinates and ordinary soldiers of both sides also engaged in a fierce melee, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Shouts of battle, screams of agony, and the clash of weapons mingled together, echoing throughout the mountains and forests.

More than ten of Fei Hong's hidden strength masters sought out four hidden strength masters under Chen Jinghua, engaging in one-on-one and multi-on-one duels.

The contest between those with hidden strength, though not as earth-shattering as the duel between those with transformed strength, is still extremely dangerous.

His inner strength is contained, yet every move is deadly; a sweep of his palm can shatter the surrounding rocks.

A skilled practitioner of internal energy from the Fei family faced off against a skilled practitioner of internal energy from Chen Jinghua's subordinate. The two exchanged blows, their bodies intertwined.

Sometimes they leaped up to engage in close combat, sometimes they crouched down to launch a sneak attack, all within a few short rounds.

Even though they were all wounded, they still fought to the death, their eyes filled with ruthlessness.

The melee among the Ming Jin warriors was even more brutal, involving hundreds of Ming Jin private soldiers under Fei Hong's command.

Wielding long swords and spears, they formed a battle formation and charged towards Chen Jinghua's soldiers, instantly demonstrating their superior strength.

Looking at the battlefield of the battle of the Transformation Realm, Fei Hong seized the opportunity when his opponent was attacked from both sides.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly accelerated, his long sword, imbued with all his strength, unleashing a powerful cleaving strike aimed directly at the top of his opponent's head.

The commander, who had just reached the Transformation Realm, hastily raised his hand to block, and with a crisp clang, his longsword clashed with the opponent's weapon.

The opponent's arm went numb from the immense force, his weapon nearly slipped from his grasp, and he staggered backward, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

Fei Hong gave his opponent no chance to breathe, following closely behind, and with a swift movement, pierced through the opponent's shoulder with his long sword.

The energy surged into the opponent's body, instantly destroying their meridians.

"No--!"

The commander, who had reached the Transformation Realm, let out a shrill scream, his eyes filled with resentment.

His body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot, completely lifeless.

Then, the three of them surrounded and attacked the remaining commander of the Transformation Realm, killing him in just a few breaths.

At this moment, the battle between the hidden forces had already been decided.

Of the four internal strength experts under Chen Jinghua, two were killed and the other two were subdued by the combined internal strength experts under Fei Hong.

Of the more than twenty elite soldiers, most were killed or wounded.

The remaining few saw that the two commanders of the Transformation Realm were dead, and the experts of the Dark Realm were either dead or injured.

Completely losing the courage to resist, they all dropped their weapons.

He knelt down in surrender, trembling all over, and kept begging for mercy.

The remaining thousand or so soldiers were slaughtered and scattered.

The dozen or so unskilled internal energy masters were like tigers among sheep when facing these people.

After eliminating all those who resisted, Fei Hong sheathed his sword and stood still. His aura of internal energy gradually subsided, and a few drops of blood splattered on his face, making him appear even more fierce.

He looked at the remaining surrendered men, his tone cold and devoid of any emotion: "Either surrender and join my ranks, and fight alongside us in the future."

"If you're going to die, then die here today, and no one will collect your bodies!"

The remaining people were already terrified by the fierce battle and also wary of Fei Hong and his two companions' mastery of internal energy.

They immediately kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy in unison, and all expressed their willingness to submit.

Fei Hong was too lazy to get entangled with them. He ordered his skilled internal energy practitioners to keep an eye on the surrendered people and arranged for several soldiers with external energy to clean up the battlefield.

He waved to Chen Zhiyang and the rogue cultivators, his tone urgent: "Let's go! Hurry back to the county town, and before Chen Jinghua notices, get back to the martial arts school."

Let's see this play through to the end and take control of the situation in one fell swoop!

The three of them flashed and sped off towards the county town.

Behind them, more than a dozen experts in internal strength led their soldiers, galloping at full speed, raising clouds of dust.

A storm sweeping through Zhenyuan County is about to erupt completely as they rush back.

Inside the martial arts school courtyard, Chen Jinghua's unease grew stronger.

He got up several times to leave, but Chen Chaoming stopped him with a smile each time.

His tone seemed warm, but it carried an air of unavoidable refusal: "Brother Jinghua, the wedding banquet has just started, how can you leave so soon?"

"Why not stay and have a drink at the wedding before you leave?"

Chen Chaoming's gaze locked onto him, the solemnity in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a sharp killing intent.

He had already noticed Chen Jinghua's unusual behavior and was secretly waiting for news from Fei Hong.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the martial arts school gate, accompanied by the crisp sound of clashing swords and the shouts of soldiers. The guests turned their heads to look, their faces full of astonishment. Their previous cheerful conversation vanished instantly, replaced by panic and fear.

Fei Hong was dressed in black, holding a long knife, and covered in blood.

Behind them followed Chen Zhiyang, who was also covered in blood, and his rogue cultivator helpers. The three of them still had residual Transformation Realm aura around them, and their momentum was fierce.

Further on, more than ten experts in internal strength appeared, each wielding a weapon.

With a sharp expression, he commanded over a hundred elite private soldiers, each wielding a long sword.

They exuded a chilling aura and stormed in.

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Chen family martial arts school on both sides of the gate immediately made way and shouted in unison, "County Commandant Fei! Senior Brother Chen!"

Fei Hong walked straight to the center of the courtyard and stood side by side with Chen Chaoming.

Chen Zhiyang and his rogue cultivator assistants stood on either side, their auras of internal energy subtly erupting, creating a powerful sense of oppression that enveloped the entire courtyard.

Fei Hong's gaze swept over all the guests, finally settling on Chen Jinghua.

His tone was icy, carrying a strong aura of killing intent, and his voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire courtyard: "Chen Jinghua, you secretly mobilized two Transformation Realm commanders and four Dark Realm experts, attempting to arrest Brother Chaoming and me today and frame us for treason. What a clever scheme!"

Unfortunately, no matter how much you planned, you couldn't have foreseen that your men outside the city had already been wiped out by us, and the remaining ones had already submitted to us!

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinghua was struck dumb, and he stood up abruptly, his face ashen.

He was trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His gaze was fixed on Chen Zhiyang and the rogue cultivators behind Fei Hong, and his voice was hoarse: "Impossible! How could you have three experts at the Transformation Realm?"

How could you possibly have killed my two Grandmaster-level commanders?

He never imagined that Fei Hong possessed such strength, capable of producing three experts at the Transformation Realm in one go, easily eliminating his greatest reliance.

"What you can think of, I can naturally think of too."

"You can bring in a master of internal energy, but I can't?"

Fei Hong sneered, raised his hand and waved it, and his dozen or so hidden strength experts and hundreds of visible strength private soldiers immediately dispersed, each holding a long knife.

They surrounded all the guests in the courtyard, especially the members of the major families.

The blades flashed, the air thick with murderous intent; every private soldier's eyes gleamed with ruthlessness, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Chen Chaoming, Fei Hong, are you planning a rebellion?"

The head of the Li family, and the owners of Longyuan Martial Arts School and Sun's Martial Arts School all stood up.

The disciples around them all stood up, staring intently at Chen Chaoming and his companions.

Chen Chaoming raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and slowly took off his brocade robe.

He revealed the tight-fitting clothes underneath, and his aura of internal energy suddenly erupted.

The pressure intensified as the auras of Fei Hong and the other two intertwined with their own, and their solemn yet sharp voice echoed throughout the entire courtyard: "Gentlemen, the Great Shun Dynasty is corrupt and rotten, with treacherous officials in power, the people are suffering, taxes are heavy, and the people are displaced!"

As the county magistrate, Chen Jinghua did not work for the benefit of the people. Instead, he colluded with foreign enemies, oppressed his neighbors, and framed loyal officials.

They have oppressed our families and martial arts schools, and plundered the people's wealth; they deserve to die a thousand deaths!

Today, I, Chen Chaoming, together with County Magistrate Fei Hong and all my brothers, officially raise the banner of rebellion.

Overthrow this corrupt court, restore peace to the people of Zhenyuan County, and bring order to the world!

After saying that, he turned to look at the Sun Family Martial Arts School, Longyuan Martial Arts School, and others next to him, and said with a smile, "You either have a good time or you die!"

If nothing unexpected happens, your families are already surrounded by my men.

"If things go smoothly, I'll send men over right now; otherwise, in three minutes, your entire family will be wiped out!"

"Chen Chaoming! You beast!" The head of the Sun Family Martial Arts School was furious. He couldn't believe that someone would threaten him with his family!

"And what's with all this talk about having so many of us here? Let's fight them!" The head of the Li family also stood up, looking at Chen Chaoming and Fei Hong with a furious expression.

"You have ulterior motives! Magistrate, we're here to help you!"

The new headmaster of Longyuan Martial Arts School was just a young man who had achieved mastery of internal strength; he had already been recruited by Chen Jinghua.

Right now, he's pretending to know nothing, his face full of anger, trying to incite the others to rebel.

In the distance, at the entrance of the pharmacy, an old man and a young man exchanged a surprised glance.

They didn't expect Fei Hong to have so many informants, and he actually discovered the reinforcements that Chen Jinghua had invited right away!

"Yao'er, a fierce battle is likely to follow."

The fact that Yizhou Prefecture hasn't sent any officers from the Patrol and Military Affairs Division suggests that something unexpected has happened. Today is likely to be a major battle.

You... remember to take care of yourself later.
