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

Chapter 72 Fight
"What's wrong? What's going on!" Zhang came out from inside when she heard the commotion.

Seeing Li Yan's reaction, his expression changed drastically.

She quickly took over Uncle Fu's place and gently patted her husband's back.

After learning the whole story...

His kind but tense face instantly turned gloomy.

Born into a prominent family, she met the young Li Yan by chance. Back then, she broke with her family in order to marry him.

They didn't reconcile until many years later.

But Li Yan did not disappoint her. Over the years, the two treated each other with respect and grew old together in love.

Even after she was diagnosed as infertile, Li Yan continued to treat her the same as before.

This matter remained a deep-seated regret for her throughout her life.

Now, seeing her husband's declining health and lack of offspring, she is being ridiculed like this.

Anger naturally arises from the heart.

"The Zhang family of Jizhou isn't even completely wiped out yet, and they dare to treat my husband like this!"

Zhang's voice was unusually filled with anger.

"Uncle Fu, send a message to the Zhang family: I'm going to fight He Song to the death!"

"No!" Li Yan finally stopped coughing.

He waved his hand and said, "Uncle Fu, you can go now. Don't listen to Madam."

"Yes, sir!" the old man in the living room replied and carefully retreated.

Until only the couple remained in the living room.

Li Yan pulled his wife aside and said, "I have my own ideas about this matter. Your husband is the Prime Minister of Dayu. When has he ever suffered a loss?"

"That's all in the past. To protect your disciples, you've hidden them away and are now leading the charge yourself. I don't even know what to say to you. I heard Yunzhou is in chaos, and I wonder how Lu Ming is doing." Zhang rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, the situation in Yunzhou is somewhat dangerous for him, but it is also an opportunity. I have sent enough food and supplies. As long as he holds Fenglei County, it will be a great achievement, and the position of garrison commander of Hongdu Prefecture will be his."

However, with my current abilities, this is the only way I can quietly help him get to this position.

To advance further, His Majesty's help is required.

But as you know, she's very wary of foreign officials; even if I were to speak up, she might not readily agree.

Li Yan sighed.

Although His Majesty treats him like an elder, he is very cautious in his use of people and will never use someone who is not close to him.

Therefore, Li Yan didn't have a good solution either.

Silence fell over the living room.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming was lying in ambush in the forest, waiting for the arrival of the rebels.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The next morning.

When the scouts learned that the rebels were about to arrive.

The Mo Dao soldiers, wielding sharp blades, began to form a sword formation in the middle of the road.

He wore heavy armor.

They resembled towering iron towers.

The sharp blade reflected a cold luster.

From a distance, it looks like a mountain of knives.

The Ironclad Cavalry were hidden on both sides of the forest.

The remaining three thousand strongmen also lay in ambush in the forest.

They were just waiting for the rebels to arrive before they charged out.

Lu Ming held the Great Wilderness Halberd and sat atop the Black Steed.

The magnificent warhorse was a full ten feet tall, its body muscular as if forged from metal.

Even though the halberd in Lu Ming's hand was heavy, it could not put any pressure on it.

At this moment, it seemed a little impatient and kept snorting.

Just then, a group of people slowly approached.

It was naturally the rebel army led by Xiao Hong.

He was sitting on a chestnut horse, wearing a black armor with gold patterns.

His already robust physique appeared even more imposing.

A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, which were as large as copper bells.

Its thick neck was like an iron pillar.

He was carrying a fine iron spear in his hand.

A cavalry unit followed behind, numbering approximately a thousand.

Behind them were the rebel infantry, which stretched like a long snake.

Under the sun, these men appeared listless, a stark contrast to the motionless Mo Dao soldiers. As they drew closer...

They had clearly spotted the Mo Dao soldiers blocking their way.

Xiao Hong raised his thick arm.

A serious look appeared in his eyes.

He didn't take Lu Ming seriously, but the heavily armored Mo Dao soldiers behind him had to be taken seriously.

Although I don't know what's so special about this army.

But everyone knows that those who can wear heavy armor are definitely the elite of the elite.

If such elite soldiers in the army were to have sufficiently strong cultivation, even a person with innate talent would be in a very sorry state if they were caught in such a situation.

"Who are you!" Xiao Hong asked, his eyes narrowed, his expression becoming even more menacing.

"Lu Ming, Commandant of the Cloud Banner of Fenglei County!" A clear voice rang out.

Lu Ming gripped the halberd tightly in his hand.

"A mere captain dares to block my way? Do you even know who I am?"

"You worthless wretch!" Lu Ming's voice remained indifferent.

At the same time, system data appeared in my mind.

Name: Xiao Hong

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Qi Refining]

[Personal Deeds: He became a disciple of Lin Futong at the age of nine and began killing people at the age of twelve.]

At the age of twenty-eight, he followed Lin Futong in killing officials and rebelling, traveling to various places, and the number of people he killed was countless.

At the age of thirty-two, when his master Lin Futong was attacking Zhelong Prefecture, he was one of the most active henchmen, having once massacred an entire county town and buried alive thousands of surrendered soldiers.

[Mission: Occupy Fenglei County and Heishan County, capture enough able-bodied men, and plunder the money and grain of the two counties to fund the army]

[Overall brutality level: 120000 points]

Killing it will grant 120000 Chaos Points.

Looking at the information of the person opposite him, Lu Ming's killing intent intensified.

What have the common people done to deserve this man's massacre of the entire city?

However, his words did not anger the seemingly rough Xiao Hong. After examining the Mo Dao soldiers for a long time and finding nothing different about them, Xiao Hong turned to the cavalry commander behind him and said, "Charge forward and scatter the heavy cavalry in front!"

In his view, no matter what kind of infantry they were, they would all be doomed if they faced cavalry.

This has been the thought in everyone's mind since ancient times.

However, at this moment, Xiao Hong was unaware that he was facing the nemesis of cavalry, the Mo Dao soldiers.

"Kill!" Thus, after he gave the order, the cavalry commander roared and led his cavalry out.

"Leave no one behind!"

Lu Ming's roar rang out at the same time.

Before he could finish speaking, his warhorse had already taken off first.

The Great Wilderness Halberd swung around like a high-speed spinning wheel, unleashing an astonishing whistling sound as it crashed into the rebel cavalry.

A cloud of blood mist rose up.

The rebel cavalrymen were killed if they were grazed, and wounded if they were touched. Lu Ming went against the tide and carved a bloody path through the enemy with an extremely fierce killing style.

The enemy's advance was aimed directly at Xiao Hong.

Even if some remaining rebels rushed into the Mo Dao formation, they were instantly reduced to mangled limbs.

"Follow the general and kill the enemy!"

They saw that the cavalry had suffered heavy losses.

When Xiao Hong's molars were about to shatter.

The sounds coming from both sides of the road made him break out in a cold sweat.

Two cavalry units charged out from each side, completely cutting off his troops.

A large number of armored infantrymen charged out from behind.

Although outnumbered, each of them was fierce and brave.

In an instant, the 20,000 people behind him were scattered and unable to help each other.

It should be noted that most of the troops under his command were mountain bandits and forcibly recruited refugees. They were fine in battles with an advantage, but if they encountered a strong enemy, they would not be able to hold out for long under such circumstances.

Just as he was about to give the order to reorganize the army.

I felt an astonishingly strong wind rushing towards me.

It was Lu Ming, who had rushed up to him without him even noticing.

"You're asking for death!" Xiao Hong roared, thrusting his spear towards Lu Ming.

Dark, oppressive energy covered the entire spear blade, and it whistled as it pierced the air.
