Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng acted decisively, nimbly dismounting from his warhorse.

"General, you have excellent eyesight!"

"This humble general is indeed not skilled in horsemanship. I wonder if the general would dare to dismount and fight me?"

Cheng Ye looked at Lin Feng as if he were looking at a fool who didn't know what was going to happen to him.

"Boy, are you really not afraid of death? Whether on horseback or on foot, killing you is as easy as taking candy from a baby!"

Lin Feng bowed deeply towards the city wall and said loudly, "This humble general is ordered by His Highness Prince Qin to fight, and dares not slack off in the slightest. Please grant this humble general's request to be loyal and righteous."

Cheng Ye scratched his head and chuckled, "Looks like the people in Zhenyuan City are complete cowards, actually sending a lowly commander to his death!"

"Fine, you brought this upon yourself, so don't blame this general!"

Having said that, Cheng Ye dismounted from his yellow horse and slammed his double maces heavily into the ground, raising a small cloud of dust.

"bring it on!"

He never took Lin Feng seriously, and his contempt only grew when he caught a glimpse of the Cheng Ying sword in Lin Feng's hand.

Although this sword is considered a fine sword, it is too flimsy.

On the battlefield, his heavy double maces are often difficult to use effectively.

Lin Feng stopped ten steps in front of Cheng Ye, took a deep breath, and then charged forward with his sword.

"act recklessly!"

Cheng Ye caught a glimpse of the speed and force of his sprint and a disdainful sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

Even if ten of them were tied together, they wouldn't be a match for Lin Feng, given his limited abilities.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

As he rushed closer, Lin Feng suddenly took three steps forward, his long sword flashing like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aimed straight at Cheng Ye's throat.

Cheng Ye remained calm, casually blocking with his right hand.

"Clang!"

The mace and sword clashed fiercely, sparks flying.

As Cheng Ye had expected, Lin Feng's strength was indeed mediocre, and he could not even budge him with a casual block.

On the city wall, the King of Qin, the King of Jin, and others all wore expressions of disappointment.

A commander of a thousand households is still just a commander of a thousand households; he is far inferior to a proper battlefield general!

Only Fang Hui stroked his beard, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Even if we lose this battle, it won't be a loss if we can get rid of Lin Feng through Cheng Ye's hands.

But just as Lin Feng's longsword was deflected, his body suddenly spun around, his figure like a ghost, and he circled around to Cheng Ye's side, slashing down with Cheng Ying Sword!

"Clang!"

The speed and force of this strike suddenly surged, causing Cheng Ye to stagger back three large steps.

"Such heavy strength!"

Cheng Ye was then shocked to realize that the kid in front of him had been hiding his strength all along!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

By the time Cheng Ye realized what was happening, it was too late.

Lin Feng pressed his advantage, delivering three heavy blows in succession to the long mace in Lin Feng's right hand.

Cheng Ye's double maces were already longer than Cheng Ying's sword. Although every inch longer is better, Lin Feng's close-quarters combat completely negated this innate advantage.

After being suppressed repeatedly, Cheng Ye was furious. How dare a mere commander like him scheme against him?

He opened his mouth, took a deep breath, and firmly planted his weight.

The Qi sinks into the three Yin meridians of the foot, firmly anchoring at the Yongquan acupoint, and then rises upwards, merging the strength of the waist and abdomen with the stability of the lower body, transforming into a powerful force that can sweep away thousands of troops.

"Buzz—"

"roll!"

Cheng Ye wielded both maces simultaneously, his movements powerful and swift.

It swept out over a wide area, its immense power engulfing the entire field.

This attack, named "Thousand Peaks Across," was originally a life-saving move used when surrounded by enemy forces.

Using it only on Lin Feng now is considered giving him enough face.

This strike was incredibly powerful; Cheng Ye was absolutely certain he could force Lin Feng to retreat.

But Lin Feng did not retreat even a step. Instead, he raised his sword to meet the attack, intending to use his sword to directly clash with the double maces!

On the city wall, Prince Qin, Li Yan, frowned and hissed, "What is Lin Feng doing? Is he courting death?"

The safest way to deal with "a thousand obstacles" is to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

But Lin Feng did the opposite.

He concentrated all his strength in his right hand, and his internal energy circulated rapidly as he unleashed the "Three Waves of Mount Tai".

The force surged upwards in layers, accompanied by three subtle tremors from the Cheng Ying Sword, and the power had already condensed to its peak.

"die!"

With a roar, Cheng Ye's eyes conjured up the image of Lin Feng being blasted away by a tremendous force, his bones broken and tendons snapped.

On the city wall, Li Ping'an, Lü Zheng, Wang Dahu and others were all sweating bullets for Lin Feng.

Liu Ruyan held her breath, her pretty face slightly flushed, and silently prayed for him.

"Clang—"

The sword and mace clashed, sending sparks flying everywhere, and the loud noise made their eardrums ring.

The next moment, the long mace in Cheng Ye's hand was directly knocked away.

His left hand instantly lost sensation, and his entire arm became numb.

not good!

Cheng Ye's heart tightened, and he quickly exerted force with his right hand, trying to block Lin Feng's subsequent attacks.

In the face of life and death, he unleashed his full potential, twisting his right hand forcefully to the left.

"Bang!"

The long mace struck Lin Feng hard in the abdomen, but Lin Feng's Cheng Ying sword was already pressed against Cheng Ye's neck.

With a "whoosh," Cheng Ye's neck was severed cleanly at the root, and his huge head flew into the sky!

Despite the excruciating pain in his abdomen, Lin Feng rushed forward two steps and caught the severed head.

"Your Highness, King Qin! General Zhang! The enemy general—executed!"

Cheng Ye's face still held the ferocity and anger of his dying moments.

Blood flowed down his severed neck, staining Lin Feng's hands and clothes red.

At this moment, the entire venue was completely silent.

No one could have imagined that a lowly commander who couldn't even ride a horse properly could kill Cheng Ye, a brave general from the Northern Barbarians!

Su Mo was the first to come to his senses. He rushed to the city wall and shouted down towards the city below, "Lord Lin is brave! He has slain the enemy general!"

"All soldiers of my Great Qian Dynasty, quickly collect the corpses of our generals and protect Lord Lin's return!"

"Our Great Qian has won today's battle!"

Su Mo and Zhang Liao both knew that the Northern Barbarians' purpose in coming to fight today was to suppress the morale of the Daqian army.

Cheng Ye's martial arts skills are superb. If it weren't for Lin Feng's sudden emergence as a dark horse, our side would definitely have been put on the defensive.

Now that Lin Feng has won a great victory, the only way to avoid giving the Northern Barbarians a chance to regain face is to stop while he's ahead.

Zhang Liao, beaming with joy, quickly congratulated Li Yan: "Congratulations, Your Highness! Our army has won a victory and successfully killed the enemy general Cheng Ye!"

A smile of surprise mixed with complex emotions graced Li Yan's face.

Raymond Lam actually won?

His original intention was to use Cheng Ye to get rid of Lin Feng, which would also give the Wang family of Ruzhou an explanation and vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng actually managed to kill Cheng Ye!

The joy of this victory was mixed with a bit of indescribable awkwardness, making Li Yan feel suffocated.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The drums on the city wall sounded again, and the cheers and shouts of the soldiers resounded through the sky.

"We won! Well done, Lord Lin!"

"Lord Lin's martial arts skills are even better than the deputy general's!"

"No wonder General Zhang favors him!"

Soon, Lin Feng walked onto the city wall amidst the attention of the crowd.

He was covered in blood and his steps were slightly slow.

He had just used up most of his strength by using the full "Three Waves of Mount Tai".

Even if Su Mo didn't urge him, he couldn't stay under the city walls for long.

"Your humble servant, Lin Feng, has not failed in his mission!"

Upon arriving before the King of Qin, Lin Feng bowed respectfully, his voice, though weary, still resonant.

Li Yan quickly supported his shoulder, a smile spreading across her face.

Whether he liked it or not, he had to act like a hero in the eyes of others.

"Lord Lin is indeed valiant! You have slain Cheng Ye, and I will not break my promise of reward!"

"I hereby reward you with fifty taels of gold and five hundred taels of silver, and also bestow upon you a flying fish robe and a silver fish pouch. I hope you will continue your efforts and serve the country loyally!"

Both gold and silver are real, tangible benefits.

The flying fish robe and silver fish pouch are symbols of supreme honor.

Only court officials who were highly regarded by the emperor had the opportunity to be bestowed with flying fish robes.

The gold and silver fish pouches allowed access to imperial forbidden gardens such as Jinming Pond and Qionglin Garden in the capital.

However, Lin Feng did not yet know when he would be able to set foot in the capital, so this silver fish pouch was ultimately more symbolic than practical.

"Lin Feng will keep His Highness Prince Qin's teachings in mind and thanks His Highness for the reward!"

Lin Feng felt somewhat disappointed; his killing of Cheng Ye was a significant achievement.

He thought the King of Qin would promote him to a position like deputy general of the Zhenyuan Army, but he only received some gold and silver.

Just as he was feeling lost, he caught a glimpse of someone behind the King of Qin, quietly waving at him.

Upon closer inspection, the handsome young man looked very familiar—was it her?

When Liu Ruyan saw him looking at her, she immediately raised both hands and gave a thumbs up, her lips moving slightly.

Judging from the shape of his mouth, he's clearly saying, "Lord Lin is truly amazing!"

[Liu Ruyan's favorability +3]

Her eyebrows curved into crescents, and her smile was as radiant as a flower; the joy in her eyes was captivating and enchanting.

For a moment, Lin Feng was stunned.

Li Yan gazed at the retreating Northern Barbarian army outside the city, waved his hand, and proclaimed loudly, "Today our army has won a great victory! Let us reward the troops and celebrate properly!"
