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

"puff!"

Even powerful beings at the Free and Unfettered Realm would be utterly defeated once they were pierced through the heart by the spear.

They couldn't possibly survive anyway.

Just like this assassin in black, his true identity must be extraordinary.

After all, a powerful being at the Free and Unfettered Realm is capable of serving as the founder of a sect.

That was the foundation of a powerful force.

The other party actually possessed such cultivation, and deliberately concealed his entire body.

That means the other party is actually afraid of having their identity exposed.

If he takes off his black clothes, he might be recognized at a glance.

Yet, this carefree and powerful figure died just like that.

Li Changqing made a casual move, and he couldn't dodge it.

Or rather, he couldn't escape it.

The general from Qi's eyes widened instantly, his eyeballs almost popping out.

The two of them joined forces, but not only did they fail to defeat the young general in front of them, they were also instantly killed by him.

The thrust that Li Changqing had just made might have seemed unremarkable to others.

But in the eyes of this Qi general, it was completely different.

That single shot held endless mysteries.

The reason his friend couldn't dodge was not only because of the Peerless Overlord Spear, but also because of Li Changqing, who was wielding it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this person only displays the cultivation level of a Grandmaster.

But his combat strength is definitely not that simple.

Linhai City is probably beyond defense!

The morale gap between the two sides was too large. The soldiers of Qi were exhausted and completely unprepared for battle.

Even now, some people are still dreaming about it; they gathered here gradually.

The situation in the Great Zhou was completely the opposite.

They made preparations well in advance and launched a surprise attack.

Moreover, their greatest advantage was already gone once the battle began.

The city gates were breached, and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was broken.

They had initially thought it was a coincidence, but now it seemed that everything was within the young general's expectations.

"What should we do?"

Should we retreat now?

They left the coastal city they had built up over many years, handing it over to others.

Not only was the general reluctant to part with them, but his soldiers were also extremely saddened.

But now, besides retreating, do they have any other options?

"Prepare to evacuate the city and burn all the grain and fodder. As for the nails buried in the city, bury them deeper."

Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, and while they still had the ability to resist, the general defending the city had already made plans to retreat.

Given the current situation, they will not withdraw.

These 20,000 to 30,000 troops are likely to be completely wiped out here.

Under Li Changqing's leadership, the mighty Great Zhou Zhennan Army could probably annihilate them by sacrificing only one or two thousand men.

Such a casualty ratio is unbearable for the ten cities north of the Yangtze River.

Even the State of Qi, which they were backing, could not accept it.

It's not that we can't afford to lose 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops, but that we can't afford to lose them to the Great Zhou.

Given the current standoff between the two sides, they may be gradually devoured by the other.

Now the retribution has come.

"Want to leave? This isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"

Li Changqing let out a long laugh.

These ten cities north of the Yangtze River were originally the territory of their Great Zhou Dynasty; now it is simply returning them to their rightful owner.

If the other side dares to invade this place, they must pay the price.

Even if we can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes for now, it's good to pull out a few small spies first.

Having made up his mind, Li Changqing immediately gave chase.

The opponent was a powerful being at the Free and Unfettered Realm. During his battle with Li Changqing, no clues could be discerned.

His strength was suppressed by Li Changqing.

Now that he had gotten rid of Li Changqing, he was able to use his lightness skill to its fullest extent, and the feeling was completely different.

Even amidst the chaos of battle, he soared into the air like a great bird.

After several dodges and maneuvers, he had already left the heart of the battle zone.

"That's incredibly fast!"

"I knew those cowardly dogs from Qi were right."

"Brothers, follow me and kill!"

"Your commander has already fled, what are you still persisting for?"

Hearing such a question.

The soldiers of Linhai City looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is a battle we are destined to die in; this is a city we cannot defend!

It wasn't that they were unwilling to fight to the death, but that their captain had been killed in battle and their general had fled.

All that was left were these leaderless bunches.

Even if they fight desperately, at most they can only kill a few more soldiers of the Great Zhou.

It has no other significance.

"That guy is organizing an escape; we can't let them get away like this."

Li Changqing had already made a strong statement, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word now.

Seeing that the situation was completely under the control of his soldiers.

Li Changqing narrowed his eyes and chased after the other party alone.

"General, you mustn't!"

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy!"

"There are still many soldiers here..."

Li Changqing completely ignored these words of advice.

He has made all the necessary preparations and need not worry about things here.

His most important task at that moment was to catch up with that general.

The other side wanted to preserve its strength and wanted to withdraw from Linhai City.

How can that be allowed?

If Li Changqing's only goal is a small place like Linhai, then it doesn't matter what he does.

But his target is ten cities north of the Yangtze River, or even more.

The Qi elites who fled at this time will soon become their enemies again.

Therefore, we cannot let them go.

Especially that general, who possessed the cultivation of the Free and Unfettered Realm, received respect from everyone.

Such people pose a huge hidden danger.

They can't keep them!

Once out of sight of the crowd, Li Changqing's speed increased several times over.

It was almost impossible to catch up before, but because of his sudden acceleration, he caught up very quickly.

"Didn't I tell you? This isn't a place you can come and go as you please. I gave you a chance before, but you didn't choose to leave. So now, prepare to face your destiny."

In Li Changqing's eyes, this general was already a dead man.

He brandished his Peerless Overlord Spear, creating a black spear flower, and instantly pointed it toward the general guarding the city.

"You're not a Grandmaster?"

At this point, the general guarding the city of Linhai realized that they had probably been tricked.

However, compared to the other side, their lives are much better on this side.

"Why don't you go down and kowtow a few more times to ask the King of Hell?"

Given the other party's special status, it would be quite a headache to truly punish him.

Li Changqing decided to go all the way.

However, just as he was about to deliver the fatal blow, a white rosary-like object suddenly appeared.

The moment Li Changqing saw that thing, his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Relics? How come there are consecrated relics here?"

Before he could figure it out, the spear in his hand had already been blocked.

"boom!"
