The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Seeing the hesitation of these barbarians, Ji Chen sneered and waved his hand.

Upon receiving instructions, the supervisory team swiftly and decisively carried out their operation.

After beheading more than a dozen slow-moving barbarians on the spot, no one dared to hesitate any longer, and they all ran to the city wall crying and screaming.

He pounded on the city gate, pleading with the guards for a way out.

No matter how glorious the past was, what good is it now?

When a person dies, they have nothing left.

The young general in white robes closed his eyes in disappointment, then opened them and shouted fiercely:

"Quickly, fetch the red-coated cannons and bombard the city walls indiscriminately!"

Red-coated cannon!

Ji Chen was startled.

The Red-Clad Cannon, also known as the Red Barbarian Cannon, fires solid iron bullets and is invincible in attacking cities and breaking through armor.

He has set a record of killing a Qi and Blood Transformation Level 3 expert more than once.

Of course, only by surrounding the Qi and Blood Transformation Level 3 expert with heavily armored soldiers, regardless of friend or foe, can they be blown up.

Although the conditions were harsh, the power was enough to make Ji Chen take it seriously.

He dared not delay, drew his bowstring, and shot the young general in white robes dead with a single arrow.

Damn it!

Looking at the young white-robed general who had fallen with his eyes wide open and unseeing death, Ji Chen snorted coldly.

What a joke! You think you can hide in the enemy's lair and escape being killed just because there's a small gap between you and the outside world?

If it were the environment of my previous life, that would be true, but here it is a world where Qi and Blood Martial Arts prevail.

Martial arts masters possess strong physiques, meticulous and precise control over their bodies, and superhuman visual acuity. As long as their skills are up to par, their archery prowess is sufficient.

That's what you see right now, aim and shoot, every arrow hits its mark!

Unless this young general in white robes descends from the city wall and hides inside the city to command, without the constant protection of a Qi and Blood Transformation Level 3 expert, he'll be completely outmatched.

Conventional methods are no match for supernatural powers.

After this incident, no one on the city wall dared to issue orders or give commands anymore; everyone was as if they had lost their parents and their hearts were filled with despair.

But in a corner unseen by Ji Chen, the prefect of Luling crept down the stairs and began to direct operations from inside the city.

He was prepared to struggle a little longer.

However, judging from his orders, the outcome was already predetermined.

"Give me the order: hold the city without harming the nobles outside! Or they'll all be beheaded!"

Indecisive, trying to have it both ways.

But how could that be? At this moment, the cannon fodder of the rabble had already reached the corner.

In this situation, to stop Ji Chen's army from attacking the city, they couldn't use arrows, logs, or boiling water; they could only play whack-a-mole.

They used siege ladders to push the ladders, and then waited for Ji Chen's army to scale the city walls before engaging in close combat with their own blades.

Ah!

With only a little over 10,000 defenders in the entire Luling, how could they possibly outlast Ji Chen, who commanded 30,000 troops?

Moreover, Ji Chen had many experts under his command who were at the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation. In the instant of close combat, they swept through the defending army like dry leaves and rotten branches, and the defense line collapsed.

Then the urban warfare phase officially began.

Time passed slowly.

Ji Chen stood below the city, surveying the battle situation, his gaze sweeping over the billowing smoke and the figures of those engaged in combat.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.

The man was wearing the uniform of the White Sun Sect, his armor splattered with black and red blood. He was hunched over and shuffling toward him, like a wounded soldier retreating from the front lines.

Ji Chen immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Seemingly realizing he had been exposed, the soldier no longer concealed himself and charged at Ji Chen like a wild horse galloping at full speed.

"There's an assassin!"

The roar of the guards pierced the chaos.

"Protect the commander!"

"Stop your insolence! Protect the altar master!"

The crisp sound of swords being drawn and armor clashing rang out instantly. Several powerful figures stood in front of Ji Chen like an iron wall, colliding with the assassin.

Although Ji Chen is incredibly strong, comparable to a Qi and Blood Transformation expert, this is the duty of a personal guard and subordinate.

The situation has arisen, and security must be in place.

Bang!

The outcome of the collision was unexpected.

Chen Xianli, Liu Lin, and even some other skilled fighters whose qi and blood had changed were like being hit by a tank.

He was sent flying more than ten meters by the assassin and was unable to get up for a while.

The assassin's momentum did not diminish, and a short blade gleaming with cold light appeared in his hand at some point, which he lunged straight at Ji Chen's face!

This imposing aura was clearly that of a Qi and Blood Transformation Level 3 expert.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he had never seen him before.

A glint flashed in Ji Chen's eyes, and he knew that the Grand Master's methods had been employed. This person was either Qing Ting's assassin or a death squad member of the Grand Master.

Almost simultaneously, chaos erupted on the city walls of Luling, as Shen Sanshi, wielding a sharp sword, fought his way through the encirclement of the Baiyang Sect and attacked Ji Chen.

"Lu Xiao, you brat! Today is your death day!"

"Give me your life!"

The battlefield situation has changed dramatically!

It must be said that these two seized the opportunity very well.

At this time, more than half of Ji Chen's army entered the city and engaged in street fighting with the defending troops.

The majority of those outside were wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front lines, and their protective capabilities and vigilance were greatly reduced.

Seeing the critical situation, Ji Chen was not afraid at all; instead, he laughed heartily.

"Haha, I, Lu Xiao, am so fortunate to have troubled two experts at the third stage of Qi and Blood to set up this scheme."

"Come on, use your special skills, use your strength, and please me to your heart's content!"

"Arrogant!"

The assassin let out a cold snort and collided violently with Ji Chen.

Ji Chen stood atop his warhorse and pressed down with his palm.

The earth-shaking, ground-propelling strike was like the hooves of a giant elephant, its power unstoppable!

The assassin's strength was not to be underestimated either. With the blade pointing upwards, it transformed into a long rainbow, colliding with Ji Chen's palm without any fancy moves.

Having already broken through the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, Ji Chen's palms, empowered by the divine Heaven-Shaking Limitless Palm, were like refined steel. When his palms clashed with his blades, they produced a resounding clang of metal colliding!

After the attack, Ji Chenxiong immediately turned his head, but with a slight tilt of his upper body, the assassin was forced back by his powerful force.

The assassin's face showed disbelief.

His target, Lu Xiao, was actually only at the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, but his strength was no less than his own, and even slightly stronger.

That's pretty cool!

A murderous intent surged within him.

With such strength after only two transformations of Qi and Blood, wouldn't he become another unparalleled master if he were to advance to the True Strength Grandmaster level in the future?

This child must not be allowed to live!

At this moment, Shen Sanshi, descending from the city wall, shouted:

"I told you long ago that this kid was only at the second stage of Qi and Blood Transformation, yet he could still hurt me. You didn't believe me, but what do you say now?"

how is it?

Only killing is possible.

The assassin, who came from the Sticky Pole Bureau and was in charge of second-class guards, had already made up his mind: even if it meant staying here, he would kill this scourge.

"kill!"

The assassins at the sticky pole attacked like a tidal wave, their footwork exquisite, circling around Ji Chen, each strike ruthless.

The two exchanged more than ten moves in a row, and before they could do anything, Ji Chen's warhorse could no longer hold on.

The warhorse's muscles were torn apart inch by inch, its bones broken and tendons snapped. With its last mournful cry, it was ripped into pieces by the force emanating from the two men.

The two fighters were oblivious to each other, exchanging blows with palms and swords, kicking and punching each other, raising clouds of dust as they roamed freely across the battlefield.

Wherever they went, men and horses were torn apart, either dead or maimed!

However, just as the two were locked in fierce combat, Shen Sanshi arrived and unleashed three powerful sword strikes, piercing Ji Chen's vital points.

Ji Chen almost completely focused his consciousness and spirit on this matter.

His astonishing mental and perceptive attributes endowed him with unparalleled insight.

At the critical moment, Ji Chen reached out a hand, made a fist, and slammed it down on Shen Sanshi.

A mocking smile appeared on Shen Sanshi's lips.

Last time we met, you were already at the peak of Qi and Blood Transformation 2. In a one-on-one duel, you were just one move behind.

This time you're still at the second stage of Qi and Blood transformation, without any breakthrough, and with the assassin from the Sticky Pole Sect helping me, what are you going to use to block me?

Die!

Ji Chen threw a punch, his eyes no longer looking at Shen Sanshi, focusing all his attention on the assassin at the Sticky Pole.

Compared to that night in Yuezhou City, he had already broken through the bottleneck of the second transformation of Qi and Blood.

Although the main attributes may not seem to have increased much, the overall strength has already risen to a higher level.

Each attribute is never calculated individually, but rather they are interconnected and influence each other.

A strong physique can withstand greater impacts and unleash stronger attacks.

His heightened spirit and perception made his attacks more precise, allowing him to grasp every subtle difference in the exchange of blows.

With these factors combined, the outcome is already predetermined.

The mockery on Shen Sanshi's face froze. Ji Chen bypassed his attack with a punch, struck the sword hilt horizontally, and smashed Shen Sanshi's hand holding the sword. Shen Sanshi was sent flying.
