Frontier Army Warrior

Zhao Jian remained worried: "It's easier said than done. We've tried all these strategies, but they haven't been very effective and have resulted in heavy losses. The pirates are good swimmers and skilled in naval warfare. How can we overcome this?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, speechless for a moment.

Looking down at the pirate camp below the city, there were still rows of tents, though the number had decreased, it did not diminish the current advantage in the battle.

Zhao Jian slammed his fist on the battlement.

"Although we will inevitably have a battle with the Zhenxi Army in the future, we can learn from their tactics, find out their strengths and weaknesses, and use them to deal with the pirates and drive them out of the Taisho territory first."

Hearing his impassioned speech, everyone immediately bowed and clasped their hands in agreement.

Inside the city of Funing Prefecture, Lin Feng originally intended to capitalize on his victory and expand his gains by pushing the Zhenxi Army northward, threatening the Quzhou Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture occupied by the pirates.

Unexpectedly, while he was still preparing his battle plan, his thoughts were interrupted by the broken sword.

The broken sword, having absorbed the blood essence of several cultivators without feeding it back to Lin Feng, has recovered somewhat, and its range of perception has expanded considerably.

Based on the amplitude of the broken sword's tremors, Lin Feng knew that the cultivator approaching this time was of a higher level and could not be taken lightly.

Lin Feng put down the charcoal stick he was using for drawing and sighed.

Pei Qiyin quickly asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Tomorrow, discuss with Lao Hu how to advance north and try to take over Quzhou and Yongning prefectures. I have some business to attend to."

"Do you need any guards with you?"

Lin Feng shook his head with a wry smile: "It's no use. You can decide on your own battle plan. I'll be back soon."

Although he was giving instructions, he didn't stop packing his things.

In addition to the broken sword and the revolver, he also carried Tokugawa Iemochi's straight sword.

Atsumi Akiyama's sword has been ruined by cutting.

Lin Feng knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't waste any more words. Before leaving, he reached out and picked up a round steel shield.

He nodded to Pei Qiyin, then turned and climbed out of the window.

Pei Qiyin knew that among Lin Feng's enemies, only high-level cultivators from reclusive sects could force him to make such an urgent retreat.

Looking at the still-swaying window sash, I could only shake my head and sigh.

Tsuruta Gen crossed the high city wall and landed on a street inside Fu Ning Prefecture.

He was delayed for a few days due to some matters along the way, which is why he has only just arrived in Funing City.

Tsuruta Gen wasn't there for Lin Feng, but all the clues pointed to this place, and the Mukawa he was looking for was very likely in Funing City.

The chief elder of the Munenryu sect, Oni-maki Shingo, has disappeared without a trace, and his daughter, Tsuruta Cho, is also nowhere to be found. In particular, the loss of the sect's most valuable treasure that his daughter possessed is a thorn in Tsuruta Gen's side.

His apprentice, Kuroda Shi, never returned.

This year has been unlucky for our sect.

All these causes and effects ultimately fall on this guy named Muchuan.

At Tsuruta Gen's level, his sensory abilities are also extremely strong. As soon as he entered Funing City, he sensed Mu Chuan's presence and knew that he had found the right place this time.

Tsuruta Gen was overjoyed. He hadn't managed to kill this guy last time, which led to many unforeseen circumstances. This time, he couldn't let him go no matter what.

He leaped onto the rooftop and ran into the city.

In his own perception, Muchuan was going to run.

Tsuruta Gen was also puzzled. With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to sense Kikawa's presence, so how did this kid know that he was nearby?

Could it be that the treasure on Mu Chuan's body worked its magic?

Tsuruta Gen's heart burned with excitement. If Kikawa wasn't dead, where did Onimaki Shingo go?

Did that old ghost not get the treasure either?

Tsuruta Gen became even more anxious, eager to obtain the treasure and unravel the mystery.

His body, like a giant eagle, soared through the night sky, rushing swiftly toward the target in his mind.

As he accelerated, he immediately sensed that the target was also accelerating, having already scaled the city wall and was running into the open field.

Tsuruta Gen sneered. In this world, there was no one who could escape his sights, not even flying animals.

As a top figure in a reclusive sect, Tsuruta Gen naturally had such confidence.

The true energy accelerated its circulation, and the speed of the body's impact in the air suddenly increased, as if leaving a trail of afterimages behind it.

Lin Feng rushed from the south of Fu Ning City, crossed the city wall, and quickly ran into the open field.

The broken sword throbbed violently on his lower back, and a thought entered Lin Feng's brain.

Lin Feng was somewhat familiar with this and determined that the person chasing after him must be Tsuruta Gen.

This is an old nemesis. Last time, I was almost tortured to death by this old guy, and now he's come knocking again, drawn by the scent of his past.

It's a fight to the death.

Not to mention Tsuruta Gen's apprentice Kuroda Shi, his daughter was also killed by him, so this feud was truly irreconcilable.

Lin Feng was uncertain, unsure whether he could withstand the old man's onslaught due to the gap between himself and Tsuruta Gen.

The horrific scene left a deep shadow in Lin Feng's heart.

Lin Feng had already pushed himself to the limit, increasing his speed to the maximum. Like a wisp of smoke, he flashed across the night sky and glided forward.

The two chased and fled, covering dozens of miles in an instant.

However, Lin Feng was still slower than Tsuruta Gen. With the broken sword constantly reminding him, Lin Feng knew that the old man had caught up.

"Muchuan, don't waste your energy, you can't escape."

Tsuruta Gen's sinister voice seemed to echo behind Lin Feng.

Lin Feng sighed dejectedly, knowing that what the other person said was true. He then relaxed his body, stood on the ground, and turned to look at Tsuruta Gen, who had already fallen more than ten steps away.

It was still that same old man in a black robe, thin as a bamboo pole, staring at him with a joyful expression and shining eyes.

As if he had seen a treasure, his eyes darted around, looking Lin Feng up and down.

"I think I've caught a whiff of a treasure. Young man, you've improved very quickly. I doubt it's due to your own abilities."

Tsuruta Gen's determination was further solidified by Lin Feng's running speed.

The previous encounter was less than half a year ago, and now this kid has already acquired such abilities. No matter how talented a person is, they could not possibly have such abilities that transcend the laws of nature.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Old man, I didn't do anything, why are you keeping an eye on me?"

"Hehe, not bad. The fact that you can still laugh shows that you have a good attitude and that you have someone to rely on."

"I don't..."

Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, Tsuruta Gen had already made his move. He knew that further words would be useless; this young man, despite his youth, was absolutely resolute, and persuasion alone would be ineffective.

A shadow flashed in Lin Feng's eye, but fortunately he had already tensed up and held the round shield in his hand in front of him.

With a loud bang, Lin Feng and his shield were sent flying into the air.

Months later, Tsuruta Gen's power remains overwhelming.

While in mid-air, Lin Feng felt as if his internal organs had shifted, his chest felt tight, and he saw stars before his eyes.

This was with the steel shield in between; if it hit the body directly, broken bones and torn tendons would be the least of the problems.

Lin Feng quickly circulated his inner energy to regulate the chaotic state within his body.

However, Tsuruta Gen didn't give him any time. While Lin Feng was still flying backward, he had already caught up and threw another punch, which slammed into the round shield that Lin Feng had erected.

The two reenacted their previous battle, with Tsuruta Gen once again using Lin Feng as a punching bag, kicking and punching him relentlessly, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
