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

Chapter 73 The son of fate?

"when!"

When the spear collided with the great halberd, the protective aura on Xiao Hong's weapon was shattered in an instant.

The weapons were deflected.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.

A numb sensation came from my palm.

The tiger's mouth was already split open.

Blood dripped down the spear shaft, and Xiao Hong naturally realized that Lu Ming was only at the True Yuan Realm, so why did he have such combat power?

Fear rose in my heart.

At this moment, Lu Ming, after his first strike, once again unleashed the Great Wilderness Halberd at an extremely fast speed.

In his haste, Xiao Hong grabbed the spear handle with both hands to defend himself.

"boom!"

This time, he only felt a tremendous force crashing towards him.

Blood beads seeped from both of his arms.

Then, his entire body flew off the warhorse.

When it hit the ground, it kicked up a lot of dust.

Lu Ming gave him no chance to react, spurring his horse forward and swinging his halberd fiercely.

"Swoosh!" One of Xiao Hong's heads flew high into the air.

A column of blood shot into the sky.

After the enemy's death, Lu Ming looked back.

Most of the rebel army's thousand cavalrymen fell to the ground under the slashing of the Mo Dao soldiers.

Limbs and severed bodies covered the battlefield.

The heavily armored warriors slowly pushed forward sideways.

No matter how the rebels resisted, they were no match for them.

Even the defenses of the Mo Dao soldiers could not be broken.

After the cavalry cut off the rebels from the rear, their formation was completely thrown into chaos.

When the three thousand strongmen charged forward.

They became lambs to the slaughter.

After killing Xiao Hong, Lu Ming did not linger.

Riding his warhorse, he swept across the battlefield with unparalleled dominance.

He slashed left and right with his halberd, splattering bursts of blood mist.

The battle lasted from morning until evening.

The withered grass on both sides of the road was stained red with blood.

Everywhere there were corpses lying in the blood pits.

Lu Ming's body was covered in blood.

The soldiers under his command were resting in groups on the ground.

The intense combat left them equally exhausted.

Wang Han and Zheng Yong, along with their men, are cleaning up the battlefield.

I don't know when, but a bonfire was lit by the roadside.

The blood-stained bodies of the soldiers looked particularly grotesque.

The dry rations they carried were roasted over a flame, and after a short while, they emitted a fragrant aroma.

There was also a campfire around Lu Ming.

Zhang Meng sat down next to him and placed a piece of dried meat on it; it looked so oily and appetizing.

"Gudongdong!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, the former took the meat that Zhang Meng offered and began to devour it.

"Tap tap!" Just then, Zheng Yong walked over.

His heavy armor was covered in blood and flesh, and he hadn't had time to clean it yet.

With his arrival came a stench.

"General, apart from a few scattered rebels who escaped, the rest have been killed. The estimated number is over 19,000."

Of our men, 342 strongmen died in battle, and more than 150 were seriously wounded.

Twelve cavalrymen fell from their horses and were killed.

The Mo Dao weapon is undamaged!

Lu Ming nodded, although such a casualty ratio was already quite astonishing.

But his expression remained solemn.

"Collect the bodies of our fallen brothers properly and bring them back tomorrow."

“Yes, sir!” Zheng Yong replied immediately.

Then, at Lu Ming's prompting, he sat down as well. He grabbed a piece of meat and began to swallow it in large gulps.

He was indeed hungry.

The spring night was still a bit chilly, but Lu Ming's men were all martial artists who had entered the realm, and they were all wearing cotton armor.

I didn't feel anything.

I saw that the soldiers had started to rest.

Only the infantrymen patrolling in the distance, their figures indistinct and shadowy.

Lu Ming opened the data panel.

The points he earned this time exceeded his expectations, totaling 2.3 million.

With so many points, he could squander them.

Then, he started browsing the shop, looking for recipes for Bone Forging Pills and Blood Qi Pills, as well as various cultivation methods.

You can only redeem them after the store is upgraded.

Therefore, he could only hope that he could gain enough military merits after this battle.

With some money, I should be able to advance to the next level without any problem.

However, just as he was about to close the store, a square that had never appeared before suddenly began to glow.

[Beginner Fortune Pill (After consumption, it can greatly increase one's own fortune and luck, and obtain the blessing of the fortune power of the dynasty one belongs to) 2000000]

Look at the introduction above.

Lu Ming was moved. If he hadn't cared about these vague and ethereal things in the past, he now believed in them wholeheartedly.

After all, even cultivators have come out; what is there to disbelieve?

He roughly knew the effects of the Qi-enhancing Pill; after taking it, he should be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort in whatever he did.

It's definitely a treasure. The reason it hasn't appeared before is probably because I didn't have enough points.

Now that I have the opportunity to redeem it, I certainly won't hesitate.

He immediately spent two million points to redeem it.

Although it's a bit pricey, it lasts a long time.

As the elixir entered the stomach...

He instantly felt that he had some kind of connection with this world.

A feeling of warmth and familiarity permeated his surroundings.

It was as if a fish had entered the water.

"Is this what it feels like to be the chosen one?" Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Then, he closed his eyes to rest.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The campfire had burned out, and after the soldiers hurriedly ate breakfast, they began to tie the bodies of their fallen comrades to their warhorses.

There were also some usable weapons, all packed up.

Of course, the rebels' left ears, which proved their military achievements, were also filled with several sacks.

After Lu Ming gave the order, they headed towards Fenglei County.

This battle can be described as a great victory.

After returning to the county town in the afternoon, Lu Ming did not go directly back to the backyard. Instead, he summoned the families of the fallen soldiers and began distributing compensation.

Those who were seriously injured were treated by medical officers.

At the same time, he asked Zhang Meng to prepare some wine and meat.

After all, this was a great victory, so the soldiers should be rewarded.

After finishing all the tasks, he returned to the backyard.

It was already late at night, but Li Xirou was still awake. When she saw Lu Ming, she excitedly greeted him.

Accompanied by several maids, they helped the other party remove their armor.

Despite the pungent, fishy smell emanating from it, Li Xirou didn't find it offensive at all; on the contrary, she felt quite pleased.

After all, her husband had returned safely from his campaigns.

Nothing could be happier than this.

Just when the calamity in Fenglei County was temporarily over...

At this moment, a massive, dark army was approaching outside Hongdu City.

However, the dark night and high winds did not attract the attention of the soldiers who were dozing on the city wall.
