As soon as they stepped out of the cave, the divine eagle flapped its wings excitedly and chirped, as if asking Lin Yaoxie if he had succeeded.

"Thank you for taking care of me over the past four years, Brother Diao. It's a success." Lin Yaoxie chuckled and nodded. Then he slowly raised his right hand. At that moment, countless rays of light seemed to be drawn in and condensed in the air above his palm. In the blink of an eye, a white light sword about three feet long floated in the void and spun around.

Everything in the world can be used as a sword.

"Chirp chirp..." Seeing that Lin Yaoxie had indeed succeeded, the Divine Eagle flapped its wings happily, gesturing for Lin Yaoxie to sit on it.

Lin Yaoxie smiled slightly, and with a light leap, he stepped onto the back of the giant eagle, letting the giant eagle carry him soaring in the sky.

At this moment.

The difference in strength between Lin Yaoxie four years ago and Lin Yaoxie now is too great. Lin Yaoxie's current level is actually that of one of the Five Greats, but if he were to unleash his sword techniques, he could definitely kill any one of the Five Greats, or even take on two or three at once!

His strength is now four or five times greater than it was back then, and his cultivation level has also risen to the fourth level of Qi Refining. He is truly a different person now.

……

Xiangyang.

At this moment, Xiangyang City was not as bustling and lively as usual; instead, it was desolate and quiet. Outside the city, the Mongol army's iron cavalry surrounded the entire city, but they did not attack.

Surround them without attacking, deplete their supplies, destroy their morale, and disrupt their formation.

as predicted.

If it weren't for Guo Jing guarding Xiangyang, the city would have been in complete chaos by now. Even so, it would have been close to chaos, with countless young men abandoning farming, donning military uniforms, carrying swords, and climbing the city walls.

Moreover, Guo Jing dealt ruthlessly with the local ruffians and hooligans within the city, carrying out a thorough cleanup. It was necessary to clean up; if a fight broke out and these ruffians caused trouble, there would be no way to stop them from causing chaos.

At this time, almost all the able-bodied men in Xiangyang City had put on leather armor, picked up weapons, and were ready to fight the Mongol army to the death.

There was no way around it; the Mongols were too ruthless. They didn't care whether you surrendered or not. Once they took over a city, they would do three things: burn, kill, loot, rape, and even massacre the entire city.

It was precisely because of this that the common people had no choice but to stand with the defending army to fight the enemy, sharing life and death, otherwise, who would have been willing to sacrifice their lives and fight to the death?

……

Dressed in pristine white, the elegant Lin Yaoxie stood with his hands behind his back on a mountain peak outside Xiangyang City, indifferently watching the Mongol army surrounding Xiangyang City from all directions.

next moment.

A golden sword light suddenly rose from beneath Lin Yaoxie's feet, carrying him towards the central camp of the Mongol army at lightning speed. The speed was so fast that all that could be seen was a golden light streaking across the sky, and nothing else could be seen or clearly seen.

After a short while, Lin Yaoxie, riding on the light of his sword, arrived at the central camp of the Mongol army, the most important position in the very center of the army, known as the commander's camp!

"Enemy... Enemy attack..." The Mongol army's sentries clearly noticed something was wrong. When they looked up, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. Good heavens, there were people flying in the sky.

Fortunately, two sentries managed to stammer out the warning of an enemy attack, sounding the alarm.

Splash splash splash splash...

As the alarm bell rang, countless soldiers rushed out of their tents, only to be met with a sky full of flashing swords.

Sword light rained down like a storm, and with a series of sharp, slicing sounds, one Mongol soldier after another was cut into pieces before they could even react.

Limbs were severed everywhere, blood flowed like rivers, and shouts of battle rose instantly. One after another, Mongol soldiers rushed out of their tents with their weapons. However, when they reached for the enemy, they stared in disbelief and horror at Lin Yaoxie, who was floating in the sky on a sword.

"Eternal Heaven, how can someone fly in the sky???" Countless Mongol soldiers muttered to themselves, their expressions blank, staring at the scene in disbelief. It was too shocking that someone could actually fly in the sky.

"Withered leaves as swords, one leaf as one sword!" Lin Yaoxie flicked his long sleeves, and a strange wave arose. Suddenly, withered leaves all over the ground floated up into the air and shot out at high speed like flying swords.

Pfft pfft pfft...

Caught completely off guard, the Mongol soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties in an instant. Without exception, their bodies were covered with withered yellow leaves. Whether it was leather armor or iron armor, they were all easily pierced through like tofu under these small withered leaves.

"The consumption is too great. This is just withered leaves. If we use light, wind, and air, the consumption will be like a gas guzzler." Although Lin Yaoxie had no expression, he was thinking that he could no longer show off and had to kill the marshal of the Mongol army.

Thinking about this...

Lin Yaoxie suddenly transformed into countless sword energies, which swept across the entire central army camp in an instant.

Countless Mongol soldiers were brutally cut to death without any resistance. These countless sword energies moved swiftly and, after a short while, found the area in the very center of the military camp, which was the location of the commander's camp.

It seems that Lin Yaoxie's martial arts skills are dozens of times stronger than those of a peerless master? Actually, no, it's just that their power systems are different. One is a method of cultivating immortality, and the other is a method of martial arts.

Dealing with these lackeys using the methods of a cultivator would be a piece of cake. In a one-on-one fight, although a cultivator is stronger than a martial artist, it would be impossible for them to mow down a martial artist of the same level as easily as they do with grass.

Not to mention that Lin Yaoxie is currently using a supreme swordsmanship, something that is absolutely not something that can be found in the martial arts world, and it is extremely rare even in the cultivation world. As such, if he cannot wreak havoc in the martial arts world, then he might as well die.

If one of the Five Greats were to fight Lin Yaoxie one-on-one, without using sword techniques, Lin Yaoxie would kill the opponent within two hundred moves. If he were to use sword techniques, he could kill the opponent instantly, because Lin Yaoxie is a combination of a sword immortal and the supreme swordsmanship, making him an invincible existence among those of the same level!

Chapter 52: A Perfect Escape

Brush brush.

Sword energy raged through the Mongol central army camp, and one Mongol soldier after another was cut down by the sword energy like straw!

"Protect the commander!!" A furious shout rang out, and a burly, bald man in a mink coat stood in front of the commander's camp.

At this moment, the sword energy suddenly formed a sword energy tornado, sweeping over with a whooshing sound. As the sword energy tornado moved, the white clouds in the sky were forcibly shredded!

"Roar! Roar!"

A dragon's roar and an elephant's howl echoed through the air.

The burly man roared, his body seemingly growing several sizes larger. He clasped his hands together and slammed them forward. With a deafening boom, the ground cracked, and a tremendous force surged forth, heading straight for the sword energy tornado!

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar that could echo throughout the entire city of Xiangyang resounded. The ground where the burly man had stood was as if it had been ravaged by swords and spears, shattered and cracked like a giant spider web.

At this moment, the burly man was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He smashed the huge command tent, and the Mongol commander who had been hiding was smashed into a pulp by the flying burly man!

But the sword energy tornado was no better; the sword energy filling the sky seemed somewhat illusory and extremely weak, as if it might dissipate with the wind at any moment.

At this time.

The sword energy dissipated, transforming into Lin Yaoxie. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly pale, but he was otherwise unharmed.

"Who...are you! How could there be a master like you among the younger generation of martial arts in the Central Plains..." At this moment, the burly man who had smashed the general to death struggled to stand up from the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood, which was even mixed with bits of flesh and internal organs.

Lin Yaoxie smiled calmly, flicked his long sleeves, and gracefully departed amidst the sword light, his ethereal voice faintly echoing: "I am... Lin Yaoxie!"

"Pfft... Very well, very well, I am Jinlun. I have been defeated today, but I will make up for it another day!" The middle-aged man spat out another mouthful of blood, laughed bitterly, and waved his hand to signal the thousands of archers and tens of thousands of cavalry that had gathered to retreat.

no way.

The Golden Wheel Monk was not confident that he could use sheer numbers to capture Lin Yaoxie, especially now that the commander-in-chief was dead. If the number of casualties among the soldiers doubled, even if he was the national advisor, he would be in deep trouble. Therefore, he naturally would not take that risk.

Most importantly, Jinlun was afraid that if pushed too far, the other party might disregard everything and fight to the death to kill him, which would be absolutely terrible. He definitely couldn't do that, which is why he dared not order a group attack!

As for why Lin Yaoxie didn't take the opportunity to kill Jinlun?

Ha ha.

At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalrymen were already poised to charge, and there were also thousands of archers ready on the outer perimeter. In particular, a large army of hundreds of thousands was continuously arriving as reinforcements.

Based on the reconnaissance just now, the Mongol army has a total of over 100,000 men. If they were surrounded, even if they flew in the sky, they would be shot down by tens of thousands of arrows, like birds.

Lin Yaoxie would naturally not waste time killing Jinlun, which would be a complete waste of time and energy. That would be utterly stupid. Was Jinlun's life more valuable than his own?

Killing one Mongol general is enough. After all, Lin Yaoxie didn't really come to save Xiangyang. He only broke into the Mongol camp with a special purpose.

……

Xiangyang City.

The entire city of Xiangyang was stunned. They had witnessed the battle just now, and it was truly terrifying and shocking!

In order to provoke the defenders of Xiangyang, the Mongol army deliberately placed its central camp at the forefront, not far from the city. Once the defenders of Xiangyang made a move, they would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the left and right flanks.

As for whether we're afraid the other side will send martial arts masters to attack? What's there to be afraid of? With the Imperial Advisor and tens of thousands of soldiers around, who could possibly launch a sneak attack?

pity.

Today, the Mongol army was taught a lesson, thoroughly slapped in the face. Someone truly appeared out of nowhere, and not in a sneak attack, but openly charged in, killing their commander and defeating their Mongol pride, the Golden Wheel Dharma King!

The battle just now was indeed clearly witnessed by the Xiangyang garrison, especially since Guo Jing had already led his men out of the city to rescue Lin Yaoxie. However, halfway there, they discovered that Lin Yaoxie had returned calmly.

This is truly astonishing. He single-handedly charged into the heart of an army of over 100,000, killed thousands of Mongol soldiers by himself, and finally even managed to kill the commander of an army of over 100,000 before gracefully departing.

Each of these events would be enough to shock the world if it were to spread, yet they are happening right before their eyes. How could they not be shocked and horrified?

Lin Yaoxie descended from the sky with an air of nonchalance, smiling as he cupped his hands in greeting to Guo Jing, saying, "Teacher, it's been a long time."

"Haha!!" Seeing that Lin Yaoxie was still willing to call him teacher at this moment, even Guo Jing, with his personality, couldn't help but laugh a few times.

After laughing, Guo Jing solemnly dismounted and bowed deeply to Lin Yaoxie, saying, "Thank you, young marshal, for saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang!"

"Thank you so much, young marshal, for saving our lives!" The thousands of soldiers following Guo Jing bowed respectfully to Lin Yaoxie and shouted.

Chapter 53: Conferring of the Title of King!

Guo Jing then asked one of his lieutenants to give up his warhorse for Lin Yaoxie to ride.

Without the slightest hesitation, the adjutant happily dismounted and gave his beloved warhorse to Lin Yaoxie.

"Thank you!" Lin Yao smiled wickedly and bowed in thanks, then mounted his horse and followed Guo Jing toward Xiangyang City.

……

Through the joys and sorrows of the mortal world, I wander with you, my dearest friend. Piercing through the green hills and desolation, my dreams take flight with the fragrance of flowers.

My life is consumed by your madness, a love unparalleled in the world. The shadow of the sword, the shimmering of the water, are but the past, the past.

Ancient tombs in the mountains.

A white dress fluttered in the wind, her long, smooth hair swayed gently, her cool gaze looked into the distance, and a jade-hilted sword hung at her waist. She was breathtakingly beautiful yet aloof and indifferent.

Without a trace of mist or rain, walking lightly through the mountains, each step is as graceful as a fairy strolling in the sky, lightly traversing several meters.

"How exactly was the final level of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra forged? And why is there an even more powerful technique in the secret chamber than the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? Alas!" The beauty gazed wistfully at the waning moon in the sky.

……

With the Mongol army completely withdrawing, the crisis in Xiangyang was averted, giving the Song Dynasty a much-needed respite.

A few days later, the imperial court, recognizing Lin Yaoxie's merits, granted him the throne of Lin Zhengjun, bestowing upon him the title of Martial King and bestowing upon him a five-clawed dragon robe! He possessed the power to not bow before the emperor, to wear a sword and shoes in the palace, and to execute first and report later!

even.

For some unknown reason, the imperial court appointed Lin Yaoxie as the General of the Cavalry, granting him the authority to command and mobilize all cavalry in the land, and even allowed him to privately establish a thousand-man cavalry guard!

In short, the imperial court believed that Lin Yaoxie was a very useful person, capable of single-handedly breaking into an army of hundreds of thousands, killing the commander-in-chief, and then retreating. They were also afraid that Lin Yaoxie would be ambushed and killed like Lin Zhengjun, so they specially allowed him to form a cavalry guard to protect their safety.
