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

Chapter 70 Ready
It was already late at night when Lu Ming and his men finished their meal.

The spring chill was still in the air, and the courtyard felt rather cold.

However, since they were all cultivators, they didn't care much and dispersed.

Lu Ming also walked towards the backyard.

Inside the room, the candlelight still shone, illuminating Li Xirou's alluring figure since her marriage.

The other person has become much fuller than before, especially after she started cultivating, her skin has become whiter, and her temperament has also changed.

Its appeal to Lu Ming grew day by day.

Perhaps it was because he had been drinking that he made a lot of noise.

As soon as she reached the door, Li Xirou put down her needlework and came out.

"My lord, how much wine have you drunk?"

His wife's concerned voice rang out.

After helping Lu Ming take off his coat, she poured him a cup of tea.

"You had a good time today. If you don't come home early next time, just rest first."

I'll be going out the next day. If you need anything from home, just let Sun Tian know.

"What happened?" Li Xirou asked nervously as she sat down.

Although she was a woman, she had shown signs of being different from usual during this period.

Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to improve their strength.

"There are some things. The rebels from Zhelong Prefecture might attack us. I'll take some men to prepare for it."

But it's nothing serious, don't worry.

"Don't you know my strength, my husband?" Lu Ming said with a smile.

However, he did not intend to hide anything from Li Xirou.

Firstly, such things cannot be kept secret.

Another point is that similar things will happen many more times in the future.

You have to adapt gradually.

"I'll prepare things for you tomorrow." Li Xirou tried her best not to show her sadness, but her dejection was ultimately impossible to hide.

When I looked down, my eyes involuntarily reddened.

Her long eyelashes fluttered incessantly in the candlelight.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ming felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Preparing things is secondary; I'll take a shower first today."

When it comes to this.

His eyes fell on Li Xirou.

The other person blushed, and at that moment, she couldn't even care less about being sad.

However, she obediently turned around and went next door, instructing the maid to prepare bathwater.

By the time Lu Ming emerged from the bathtub, feeling refreshed, it was already late at night.

What happened next is best left unsaid.

The next morning, Lu Ming got up early and went to the storeroom in the backyard.

This place is usually used to store equipment and farm tools.

However, after Lu Ming arrived, he tidied up the place.

They usually only use the warehouse in the front yard.

Now that Bai Yan needs the armor-piercing crossbow, he has no choice but to leave the crossbow here.

Then, they started exchanging the currency.

Until all five warehouses were full.

He just came out.

By this time, it was already broad daylight.

As the sun rises, wisps of smoke rise from the front yard.

The aroma of food wafted into my nose.

This made Lu Ming feel a sudden hunger pang.

"Husband, dinner is ready." Li Xirou's voice rang in my ears.

The other person was leaning against the door frame, looking directly at him.

Lu Ming immediately stepped into the house.

The table was already set with food, including his favorite braised pork and even a whole roasted rabbit.

Meat made up the majority of their diet.

"Wang Han hunted some wild game yesterday morning and brought us quite a lot, so I cooked it all together. Try it and see how it tastes," Li Xirou said with a smile, placing a piece of meat into Lu Ming's bowl.

"Not bad, very delicious." Chewing on the rabbit meat, Lu Ming praised it generously.

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

A maidservant cautiously entered and said, "Master, Lord Sun Tian said he needs to go to the storeroom to move crossbows."

"Clatter!" Lu Ming tossed a bunch of keys into the maid's hand.

"Just give him the key." After saying that, he continued eating.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

After exchanging for these crossbows, his points plummeted to 200,000.

However, considering that war was about to break out, I stopped thinking about it.

After all, these points can only play a real role when they are converted into strength.

Make yourself stronger. And earn more points in the process.

Staying in the system store all the time is just a bunch of cold numbers.

After breakfast, Lu Ming got up to go to the secret room, partly to improve his cultivation, and partly to see if there was anything worth exchanging in the system shop to further enhance his combat power.

At this time, Sun Tian and his team emptied the two warehouses.

The crossbow was heavy and difficult to move.

Many soldiers were already drenched in sweat, their foreheads were wet, and steam was rising from their heads.

Upon seeing Lu Ming arrive, Sun Tian wanted to step forward to pay his respects, but was interrupted by Lu Ming waving his hand.

"Squeak!" The door to the secret room opened.

Lu Ming entered it.

After the entire environment became completely quiet.

He opened the system store and started browsing.

【Great Wilderness Halberd (Divine Weapon Grade, indestructible below the level of magic treasures, weighing 3,600 jin) 100000 points】

[Black-scaled steed, travels three thousand li a day, 100000 points]

A moment later, he chose the two system items.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate and immediately redeemed it.

The "Dragon Elephant Strength" manual includes a halberd technique called the "Eight Desolations Annihilation Halberd Technique," which he practices regularly.

It was just an ordinary battle halberd, and now it could no longer withstand his powerful burst of energy.

When using a sword, a little skill is enough.

This time, we are facing rebels, so we cannot be careless. As the saying goes, "an inch longer, an inch stronger," and in large-scale battles, long weapons have more advantages.

And then there's the mount. Now that we have the heavy halberd, an ordinary warhorse is obviously not enough.

So this is the Black-scaled Black Steed.

That's the best choice.

Only such a top-tier warhorse could probably carry him.

"Less than 20,000 points left."

Looking at the nearly empty store points.

After muttering to himself, Lu Ming exchanged for a scroll and a True Essence Pill.

"Stab!"

Then, the sound of a scroll tearing rang out.

The next moment, he entered the trial space, where a suffocating and murderous aura lingered in Lu Ming's heart.

Warriors in armor were everywhere.

[Sui and Tang Dynasties, Battle of Siming Mountain]

The information that suddenly appeared in his mind made Lu Ming's gaze sharpen.

If he remembers correctly, Li Yuanba wielded two hammers and killed 20,000 soldiers in this battle.

Looking into the distance, one could see a thin, sickly-looking man wielding two hammers on the battlefield. The massive hammerheads were swung around in a blur, and each strike produced a thick cloud of blood mist.

Even from a great distance, Lu Ming could sense the violent aura emanating from the other party.

Needless to say, the figure at the center of the battlefield was probably Li Yuanba.

Behind them, the general kept urging them to charge forward, seemingly wanting to use sheer numbers to overwhelm the enemy.

Lu Ming could clearly see that behind Li Yuanba, there were floating lights and shadows, and in them seemed to be a roc.

Judging from the trajectory of the warhammers, this pair of golden drum-shaped hammers must have weighed more than 800 jin (400 kg), probably even 80,000 jin (40,000 kg).

Each time it's thrown, it leaves a white mark even in the air.

Unbeknownst to him, the armored soldiers in front of him had been cleared out, and Lu Ming was now facing the demon-like Li Yuanba head-on.

"Bang!" Before he could react, everything went black, and he lost consciousness.

To outsiders, his head appeared to have been smashed open, with thick blood mist floating in the air.

The second time he appeared on the battlefield, he was already in the center of the battle. However, this time he was prepared and raised his weapon when the warhammer came.

But the next moment, there was another crisp sound.

His gaze fell upon the broken weapon, then his chest caved in, and he lost consciousness.

The third time, he was still beaten to a pulp.

Until the tenth time, he was not qualified to fight Li Yuanba.

However, it is already possible to dodge.

At the end of the trial, he dodged three fatal attacks from his opponent.

He could clearly see the surprise in the other person's eyes.

Then, he was locked onto by Li Yuanba's gaze and his body was torn apart.

The feeling of that pain was all too real.

Even after Lu Ming regained consciousness, he couldn't help but show lingering fear in his eyes.

After feeling a sense of weakness emanating from within my body.

He threw the True Essence Pill he had exchanged directly into his mouth.

I'm preparing to try and break through.

His body was also covered with the last half-jar of ferocious beast blood.
