High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 40: The Siege of the Capital Lifted, One Battle Shakes the World

The world was utterly silent.

Only the howling north wind, carrying the dust kicked up by the two corpses as they fell, swirled across the empty battlefield.

Beneath the city walls, the 100,000 Snow Wolf Iron Cavalry that once struck fear into the hearts of the Great Qian Dynasty now resembled 100,000 clay statues.

They all stood there, stunned, their faces filled with indescribable terror and bewilderment.

died?

The two grandmaster commanders who were like gods in their hearts actually... died so easily.

He was swiftly and decisively killed by that white-haired youth on the city wall in just a few breaths?!

This fact, like the heaviest iron hammer, shattered all their faith and pride.

On the city wall, after a brief period of recuperation, Lin Hanzhou slowly straightened up.

The cost of burning through fifty years of one's lifespan is enormous.

He could feel that most of the life force in his body had already been lost.

For a third-stage Qi Sea Realm cultivator with a lifespan of three hundred years, fifty years is definitely not a small number.

But for Lin Hanzhou, this was practically a risk-free business.

After all, once he finishes this dream journey, all his stats will be refreshed.

The cultivation points obtained from the system will not be affected by these negative statuses.

Do you even understand the value of refreshing status?

And what they gained was a war victory that was enough to change the course of the nation's destiny.

Lin Hanzhou's gaze, like two sharp swords, swept over the 100,000-strong army below, which was already in chaos and panic.

A cold smile curved his lips.

Killing just the two opposing commanders is not enough.

Only by completely breaking the backbone of this army can it be dismantled.

The next moment, his figure leaped down from the city wall, which was dozens of feet high.

He charged straight into the dense ranks of 100,000 iron cavalry, armed only with his sword.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he landed, he raised his hand and slashed out with his sword.

The powerful sword energy swept across the area, instantly turning hundreds of iron cavalrymen within a radius of a hundred meters, along with their horses, into a cloud of blood mist.

Immediately afterwards, he began a one-sided massacre.

His goal was very clear.

They didn't kill ordinary soldiers, but specifically targeted and killed military commanders.

With his keen senses, he accurately locked onto the most powerful Grandmaster-level commanders among the vast army.

"Pfft!"

With a single swing of his sword, it transformed into a series of elegant yet deadly sword nets.

In an instant, a Qing army master who was trying to reorganize his army was torn to pieces.

"Next!"

Lin Hanzhou moved with surprising ease amidst the vast army.

Each appearance is inevitably accompanied by the fall of a grandmaster-level general!

Those powerful masters who were usually so strong couldn't even last a single move against Lin Hanzhou.

This scene filled the generals at the martial arts master level in the army with a sense of relief.

I'm glad that my skill level hasn't reached that of a grandmaster yet.

Otherwise, they would probably already be targeted by that white-haired plague god.

Two commanders-in-chief were killed in action, and a large number of master-level generals were slaughtered.

The 100,000 Snow Wolf Iron Cavalry—this elite force once struck fear into the hearts of the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this moment, they are completely leaderless.

They lost their command and their faith.

All that remained in their hearts was the most primal fear of the white-haired demon god who was wreaking havoc.

"A devil! He's a devil from hell!"

"Run! Even a Grandmaster-level expert isn't a match for him. Wouldn't we just be throwing our lives away if we went up against him?"

"No, you can't run away! Have you forgotten what we're carrying on our shoulders? Have you forgotten the vows we made..."

"I've forgotten your mother. If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't bother me while I'm escaping."

...........

Someone let out a piercing scream, and the entire army formation instantly erupted into chaos.

The morale of the 100,000 Snow Wolf Iron Cavalry completely collapsed.

The soldiers no longer cared about military orders, turned their horses around, and fled in all directions.

On the city wall, Empress Li Yuechan immediately issued an order upon seeing this scene.

She knew that Lin Hanzhou specifically targeted the Grandmasters among the 100,000-strong army to reduce the pressure on them.

They certainly wouldn't let this national advisor fight alone.

"By imperial decree! The Imperial Guards shall strike immediately and wipe out the enemy!"

"Sweep away the enemy!"

Inside the city gates, the 100,000 Imperial Guards, their morale boosted to its peak, unleashed a deafening roar.

"Boom!"

The heavy city gates of the capital slowly opened from the inside.

Led by the supreme master Wang Jian, 100,000 soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty charged towards the Qing army, which was already in complete disarray.

……

The sudden reversal of the battlefield situation left the spies of the three vassal kings, who were secretly observing from afar, completely stunned.

"Then...who exactly is that white-haired youth?!"

"Slayed two Grandmasters with a sword? And...and slaughtered Grandmasters amidst a vast army?!"

"There's no such person in the intelligence reports at all? When did the Great Qian royal family start hiding such an extraordinary monster?"

The spies exchanged glances, each seeing extreme shock and fear in the other's eyes.

Their master's plans were completely thrown into chaos at this moment.

The situation should not have been that the capital was occupied by the Qing army and the Great Qian Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Then, could these three vassal kings seize the opportunity, under the pretext of "avenging the late emperor," to raise an army and vie for the throne, declaring themselves emperors?!

It's important to understand that the Qing army's 100,000 cavalry were able to arrive at the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty so quietly...

They tacitly approved of it all along the way, and even hid its whereabouts.

What they were waiting for was for the Qing army to completely sink the shattered ship that is the Daqian Dynasty.

Only then could they establish their own new dynasty on the ruins of this chaotic world.

But the changes that have occurred now are completely beyond their expectations.

"Quickly! Go back immediately! This shocking news must be reported to the Prince at once!"

The scouts dared not linger any longer and quickly withdrew from the area.

……

Outside the capital, a siege battle that threatened to destroy the nation ultimately turned into a major defeat for the Qing army.

With 100,000 Qing cavalrymen having lost all their high-end combat capabilities and their morale collapsed, how could they possibly be a match for 100,000 Imperial Guards?

What's more, there's also Wang Jian, a supreme master, personally leading the charge.

A supreme master facing an army without a master in command is a one-sided massacre.

In the end, not a single one of the 100,000 Snow Wolf cavalrymen escaped; they were all wiped out beneath the walls of the capital.

This was the most incredible victory the Great Qian Dynasty had achieved in its hundreds of years of existence.

After the war, Lin Hanzhou will be renowned throughout the world as the Black-Clad National Preceptor and the White-Haired Sword Saint.

With only his sword, he slew two Grandmasters on the battlefield and slaughtered them like dogs amidst a vast army.

Ultimately, the legendary feat of single-handedly defending a capital city is given a special page in history books.

Storytellers all over the world will tell his story, and hundreds of millions of people will worship him as a god.

His existence became a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of all ambitious people.
