Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Ruthless Tactics

Ling Xiaoxiao’s appearance and her words moved Feng Wuchen, who was originally about to lash out at her, deeply.

The warmth surging within him slowly melted away Feng Wuchen’s fury.

“Xiao Xiao,” the bloodlight in his eyes gradually faded, turning his gaze tender.

“Brother Feng, I will never leave your side in my life!” Ling Xiaoxiao declared firmly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears, like a hurt angel that one couldn’t help wanting to protect.

Even in the face of life and death, Ling Xiaoxiao remained unwaveringly by his side, deeply moving Feng Wuchen.

After spending so much time together, Feng Wuchen realized at that moment that Ling Xiaoxiao had etched herself deeply into his heart, irreplaceable by anyone else.

Feng Wuchen pulled Ling Xiaoxiao into his arms and said softly, “I, too, will never let you be harmed; nobody will be allowed to bully you!”

Ling Xiaoxiao was countless times better than Mo Ling’er.

Feng Wuchen secretly felt fortunate that Mo Ling’er had broken up with him; otherwise, he might never have met Ling Xiaoxiao.

Meeting Ling Xiaoxiao, Feng Wuchen felt it was the good fortune he had cultivated in his past life.

Of course, Mo Ling’er was not a malevolent person; she simply had her own choices, her pursuit of power and status merely too extreme.

With Feng Wuchen’s embrace, Ling Xiaoxiao felt incredibly sweet, feeling that the time spent with Feng Wuchen had made all her efforts worthwhile.

“Brother Feng, I know a way to save Uncle Feng and Aunt Xiao; you can fight with ease,” Ling Xiaoxiao said with a sweet smile.

“Great! With your words, I can be at ease. Let’s go,” Feng Wuchen said with a smile.

Though his berserk state had subsided, Feng Wuchen’s anger and hatred still lingered in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes remained.

A hundred thousand-strong army marched mightily towards Tianyun Sect, and wherever they went, all other powers gave way.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt.

This battle was unavoidable!

“Divide into four groups! Seal off the north, south, east, and west of the Yunyue Mountain Range!” Duan Wuqing shouted loudly.

The hundred thousand-strong army, led by four generals, split into four groups, forming a massive formation as imposing as a giant array.

The Sky Shadow cavalry led by Ye Cangqiong, along with the Black Flag Army, charged at the forefront, with an iron-blooded military soul and a chilling and heavy murderous aura that caused trembling hearts!

They were the Empire’s most elite soldiers, the vanguard of the Empire!

The powerhouses of the Ye and Ni families followed closely behind, and behind them were the strongest forces of Yunzhou led by Mu Tianyun!

“They’re here!” Inside Tianyun Sect, the higher-ups had already sensed the approaching iron-blooded murderous aura and the high morale of the Empire’s soldiers.

Gu Qingxuan frowned deeply and said with gravitas, “It seems the Emperor has made up his mind.”

“Hmph! Even if it means fighting to the death, we must eradicate them!” Gu Qingshan said coldly, his fearsome murderous aura sweeping out like a tidal wave.

The Great Elder Lv Xingchen spoke seriously, “A great battle is imminent, send the orders down, all disciples prepare for battle!”

Within Tianyun Sect, the ten thousand disciples could feel the murderous aura of the Empire’s soldiers and sense the overwhelming momentum, causing inevitable panic in many hearts.

“Tianyun Sect, for your insubordination, your crimes are unforgivable!” A deafening and authoritative shout suddenly echoed within Tianyun Sect, full of deterrent power.

“Great General Ye Cangqiong!” the faces of many Tianyun Sect disciples changed slightly.

The Sky Shadow cavalry led by Ye Cangqiong and the Black Flag Army directly stormed into the gates of Tianyun Sect, causing the death of several disciples!

The Sky Shadow cavalry and the Black Flag Army, the Ye family, the Ni family, and strong forces from Yunzhou led by Mu Tianyun, all poured into Tianyun Sect.

In the vast square of Tianyun Sect, all sect disciples gathered.

Gu Qingxuan and other high-ranking members of Tianyun Sect flashed out of the grand hall, with extremely ferocious auras emanating from them.

“Mu Tianyun, Ye Cangqiong, have you come here to seek death?” Protector Gu Qingshan sneered slightly, his eyes holding a hint of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianyun smiled faintly and said, “Even if it is to seek death, we must avenge those of Xuantian Sect who perished! Many from Yunzhou’s major powers died at the hands of your Tianyun Sect, how could we leave it at that?”

“They brought death upon themselves! They should have stayed out of it; there was nothing I could do,” Fu Yun said dismissively.

Ye Cangqiong spoke solemnly, “The elite soldiers personally trained by me, over twenty of them died tragically, how could I stand by and do nothing? Tianyun Sect’s insubordination cannot be forgiven!”

“We swear to avenge our brothers!” shouted the Sky Shadow cavalry and the Black Qi Army soldiers, with sky-touching rage in their voices.

The deafening roars echoed through Tianyun Sect, lingering for a long time!

“Beat the drums!” down by the foot of Tianyun Sect, Duan Wuqing’s shout resounded.

The drums of war sounded, the bugles sang, with awe-inspiring and earth-shaking momentum! Inspiring and igniting the blood!

The Empire’s hundred thousand-strong army was bearing down, with a ferocious momentum, already sealing off the entire Yunyue Mountain Range, packed densely with Empire soldiers, causing the birds and beasts within the mountains to flee in panic.

The hundred thousand-strong army began to converge towards the peaks where Tianyun Sect was located! It was like an earthquake shaking the mountains!

Duan Wuqing arrived at the foothills of Tianyun Sect, leading tens of generals into the sect, the murderous aura about them no less than that of the elite soldiers.

“Greet the Crown Prince!” shouted Huanyang and Luanshen, and the soldiers responded in kind.

Duan Wuqing, also from a military background, had grown up under Ye Cangqiong’s cultivation!

Duan Wuqing was undoubtedly the Empire’s future unparalleled choice! Once the greatest talent of the Empire’s younger generation!

Leading dozens of generals, Duan Wuqing stepped into Tianyun Sect, each dressed in battle armor and looking imposing from all sides.

“The Crown Prince?” On seeing Duan Wuqing appear, the higher-ups of Tianyun Sect and many disciples were extremely surprised, never expecting this talented individual from the Empire to lead the charge personally!

“All these years, I truly never expected the Empire to go to war with Tianyun Sect. It really is unexpected,” Duan Wuqing said indifferently.

“The Empire has gone too far. Do you really think Tianyun Sect will keep tolerating this?” Gu Qingshan said coldly.

“Gone too far?” Ye Cangqiong retorted coldly, “The Huangfu family helped the Mo family against the Feng family, against the Grand Commander, committing treason. They deserve death! And then the Huangfu family struck again, ignoring the State Preceptor’s orders, defying the majesty of the Empire! They deserve nothing less than death!”

“Huangfu Zhantian and Huangfu Qing are the genius disciples of our Tianyun Sect! Even if they committed treason, Feng Wuchen wouldn’t dare to kill them! But Feng Wuchen disregarded our Tianyun Sect!” Elder Yi Yun shouted angrily.

“If I didn’t kill them, they would have killed me! Who among you in Tianyun Sect would stand still for someone else to kill? Sect Master Gu Qingxuan, would you? You’re nothing but a bunch of hypocrites pretending to be righteous!” At this moment, a cold voice filled with terrifying murderous intent sounded.

“Whoosh!”

A sudden sonic boom erupted, and in the high sky, a streak of golden light flashed by at a terrifying speed, surging with momentum.

“Sword Flight!” The disciples of Tianyun Sect exclaimed in shock.

“Feng Wuchen!” Gu Qingxuan and other senior members frowned slightly.

“Fourth-Rank Alchemist!” The Great Elder Lv Xingchen was greatly shocked, staring at Feng Wuchen in astonishment.

Lv Xingchen, being a Fifth-Grade Alchemist, recognized Feng Wuchen’s Alchemy Realm at a glance. Even he felt some apprehension towards that strong and overbearing Soul Power.

“Greet the Grand Commander!”

All soldiers, officers, generals, and strong individuals from various forces in Yunzhou greeted him respectfully. The greetings soared to the heavens and echoed once more through Tianyun Sect.

The respect shown on the faces of these soldiers, officers, and generals clearly reflected the lofty position Feng Wuchen held in their hearts!

At this moment, all eyes were on him.

Everyone’s gaze turned to the sky, to that legendary figure from the Empire!

The person was none other than the Empire’s Grand Commander, Feng Wuchen!

“As the foremost sect of the Empire, I had thought that Tianyun Sect would handle the matter fairly. Yet unexpectedly, you bunch of rats dared to slaughter my Feng family members! To kill my friends of the Feng family, to destroy the Sky Pavilion! To slay dozens from Sky Pavilion!” Feng Wuchen spoke sternly, his cold eyes filled with deadly murderous intent sweeping over everyone in Tianyun Sect.

Feng Wuchen drew out the Fiery Blade and asked icily, “Who is Fu Yun? Stand out for me!”

“It’s me!” Fu Yun replied arrogantly, sneering without fear.

“Whoosh!”

“Sizzle!”

As soon as Fu Yun finished speaking, in the next second, the arrogant sneer on his face instantly stiffened. For unknown to him, Feng Wuchen’s Fiery Blade had already pierced through his right chest, blood gushing out.

There was no warning, not a sound, so fast it was instantaneous!

“Ah!” At the moment he was pierced, Fu Yun had no idea what happened. It was only moments later that he felt a sharp pain and let out an agonizing scream.

“So fast!” Gu Qingxuan furrowed his brows deeply.

“What kind of movement technique is this terrifying, that even I, the protector, failed to perceive it?” Gu Qingshan was significantly shaken, his expression somewhat stunned.

“Feng Wuchen is indeed something special! His movement technique is truly terrifying!” Guaotian frowned deeply, not daring to underestimate Feng Wuchen any longer.

All the disciples of Tianyun Sect were already panic-stricken, their faces turned pale, and many trembled with fear.

Fu Yun was the top disciple of Tianyun Sect, his cultivation having reached the Seventh Layer of the Yuandan Realm, his strength incredibly formidable!

Yet even such a powerful Fu Yun was pierced through the right chest by Feng Wuchen’s sword in an instant.

“Worthy of being the Grand Commander, worthy of topping the talent combat rankings, his strength is indeed terrifying!” Duan Wuqing was also extremely shocked in his heart.

Feng Wuchen’s sword truly intimidated the mighty!

“Who gave you the audacity to lead people to kill my Feng family members? To annihilate Sky Pavilion?” Feng Wuchen asked coldly, his eyes, the eyes of someone looking at a dead person, fixed on Fu Yun.

“Feng Wuchen! You dare to kill Tianyun Sect’s top disciple. I swear to shred you to pieces!” Gu Qingshan pointed at Feng Wuchen and shouted angrily.

“How dare you! The audacity to show such disrespect to the Grand Commander!” Duan Wuqing spoke coldly.

“Feng Wuchen! Don’t you forget that your father and the others are still in the hands of Tianyun Sect!” Gu Qingshan shouted angrily, disregarding Duan Wuqing’s presence.

“Sizzle, sizzle!”

“Ah…”

Feng Wuchen pulled out the Fiery Blade and subsequently severed Fu Yun’s hands and feet, leaving the rest of his body to fall to the ground. Feng Wuchen acted brutally and cold-bloodedly. As blood spurted out, Fu Yun screamed in horror.

“Gulp…”

Seeing such a ruthless Feng Wuchen, the disciples of Tianyun Sect swallowed their saliva in terror.

Feng Wuchen had just disabled Fu Yun right before the top echelons of Tianyun Sect, displaying incredible audacity!

“All those who were involved in the killing of my Feng family members, stand out as well!” Feng Wuchen stood with one foot on Fu Yun’s chest, his tremendous force caused Fu Yun to cough up blood. After a cold glance at Fu Yun, Feng Wuchen continued.
