Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

The enormous golden space formed by the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array is like an eggshell hatching a chick, cracking layer by layer from the inside.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Zhennan Army never expected that they would survive.

Suddenly being pulled into the golden space filled everyone with utter despair. They had never seen such a method before, and even the high-ranking generals had only heard of it.

It's understandable to feel uneasy when you encounter something unexpected.

Especially after hearing what the high-ranking officers around them said, they felt even more uncertain. They felt that they could die here at any moment.

Unexpectedly, Li Changqing turned the tide.

This appears to be an indestructible Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation, seemingly impossible to break under any circumstances.

Those enormous, deadly golden chains didn't even have time to bind and kill them.

It was pierced by a single shot.

The captain from Qi had eyes that were practically bulging out.

"Impossible! How could a mere Grandmaster possibly break the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation?"

This is something the State of Qi is very proud of. In other words, this is their greatest trump card.

How could it be exposed so easily?

Not only this captain, but many soldiers of Qi also showed expressions of disbelief.

They couldn't understand it, and they couldn't believe it.

However, the harsh reality was that the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was broken, and more than 3000 soldiers were injured.

All of this was due to one person: the young general Nangong Qiushui, who led the Great Zhou Zhennan Army this time.

Li Changqing stood at the very front of the group, looking every bit like a legendary war god.

As he stood there, the soldiers of the Great Zhou felt the blood in their bodies surge like the tides of a river.

"Go! Go!!!"

Ultimately, this surging emotion was reduced to a single, simple word.

They must advance, to tear their opponents to shreds, leaving them a bloody mess.

They wanted to reclaim the ten cities north of the Yangtze River; they wanted to wash away the shame with blood.

The ten cities lost north of the Yangtze River have become a nightmare for the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Now that the opportunity is right in front of them, who would want to miss it?

The answer is, no.

At this moment, no one wanted to miss this opportunity.

Everyone marched forward like madmen.

The Qi soldiers who had just participated in the formation were all experiencing a surge of energy and blood, and could not exert even half of their strength.

When faced with the elite troops of the Great Zhou Kingdom, they were utterly powerless to resist and were quickly defeated.

Having dealt with these three thousand soldiers, we are now at the core area of ​​Linhai City.

"Don't disturb the neighbors, we'll deal with it later."

Li Changqing issued the military order.

Even if this order brings hidden dangers, they cannot lose the hearts of the people in the ten cities north of the Yangtze River.

After the war, the people were already suffering. If soldiers searched every house, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Once public support is lost, it will be difficult to win it back.

Not all the soldiers of Zhennan Army understood Li Changqing's order.

But because of what had happened before, they were grateful to Li Changqing.

If it weren't for this general, the first few thousand men who rushed in would probably have perished in Linhai City.

So even if they don't understand, they are still willing to obey and carry out orders.

They admired General Nangong from the bottom of their hearts, feeling that following him would make dealing with the Qi soldiers a piece of cake.

It was at this moment that the main force of the Qi state attacked.

The two leading figures were the current city lord of Linhai City, a powerful figure in the Free and Unfettered Realm.

The other was wrapped in a black robe, and apart from his abyss-like eyes, not a single inch of his skin was exposed.

"We have to take down the leader, or Linhai City will be lost today."

The white-faced city lord pointed at Li Changqing with one finger and spoke first.

The man next to him, who was completely shrouded in a black robe, nodded slightly.

"I know."

"Don't underestimate him just because he's only at the Grandmaster level. He wields a peerless divine weapon, so his strength shouldn't be taken lightly."

Theoretically speaking, even a Grandmaster cannot wield such a peerless divine weapon.

You must reach the Free and Unfettered Realm to do so.

Li Changqing's ability to use it is itself quite remarkable.

"Don't worry, assassinating enemy generals on the battlefield is one of my specialties."

Before this, the man in the black robe, who was completely covered in black, had succeeded many times.

So much so that even the pale-faced city lord of Linhai City believed that as long as he took action, the mission was a sure thing.

The young general wielding the peerless divine weapon was only able to unleash attack power at the Great Freedom Realm, which was also the key to his ability to break the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

But this does not mean that he possesses the strength of the Great Free and Unfettered Realm.

Li Changqing charged at the very front of the group, advancing as if into an empty field.

He kept swinging his spear, each swing accompanied by flashes of black light.

The soldiers of Qi were no match for them.

With such a person leading the way, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were also incredibly brave.

The two sides were roughly equal in number, and both were elite troops.

Even so, the game remained one-sided.

However, after just one round of fighting, the Qi side had already suffered a quarter of its casualties.

The original team of over 20,000 people was reduced by 5,000 to 6,000, leaving less than 20,000.

On the other hand, the Great Zhou's army of 30,000 only suffered a few hundred casualties.

The casualty ratio between the two sides differed by nearly tenfold.

It was at this moment that a mysterious person, completely shrouded in a black robe, silently approached Li Changqing.

While Li Changqing was wreaking havoc, he was always looking for an opportunity.

The man in black robes quickly discovered that this young general named Nangong Qiushui was quite capable.

Even during the charge, he always held back his strength. It seemed that he could react instantly to any unexpected situation.

In this situation, it would be difficult for the man in black to seize an opportunity.

They waited until Li Changqing, in order to save someone, had no choice but to reveal a flaw.

It's now!

Without any hesitation, the man in black robes leaped into the air and struck directly at a vital point with his short sword.

Seeing the imposing aura emanating from him, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were greatly shocked.

"The Great Master of Leisure!"

This seemingly unremarkable man in black robes was actually a powerful and carefree individual.

After the initial surprise, panic ensued.

Even with Li Changqing's powerful background, he probably wouldn't escape an assassination attempt by a powerful and unfettered figure.

After all, at this point, background is useless; strength is the most important thing.

However, just as everyone couldn't help but exclaim and wanted to warn them...

Li Changqing, who had gone berserk, had already used the Peerless Overlord Spear to take down all his opponents around him.

He saw someone sneaking up on him, the attacker still completely wrapped in a black robe.

Li Changqing subconsciously increased the force, and before the opponent's short sword could be thrust at him, he swept his spear across the target.

"puff!"

The powerful cultivator at the Free and Unfettered Realm was sent flying by a single spear thrust, offering no resistance whatsoever.
