My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Lu Zheng's swordsmanship is very dense and extremely fast. At least among those of the same level, his strength is definitely among the top tier.

Moreover, he is very skillful in combat. He may seem to be on the front line, but every time he encounters a fierce attack from his opponent, he will leave the range of the opponent's attack at just the right time.

Therefore, he gained a significant advantage in this battle.

Several of the knife wounds on Qingniang's body were inflicted by him.

Just then, seeing the woman in front of him swaying and her eyes glazing over, as if she was about to give up, Lu Zheng stepped forward, pressed his long sword hard against Qingniang's shoulder, and pushed her a few steps forward.

The blade was pulled downwards.

"laugh!"

A rough knife mark appeared on Qingniang's snow-white neck, the white flesh turned up, and blood flowed onto the ground.

By this time, the other woman had also been killed, leaving only the hall master still fighting desperately.

She is also at the True Essence Realm.

Xiao Ling suffered a loss at his hands. If it weren't for the crossbows on the city wall that had already seriously injured him, the number of border soldiers and Hundred Cavalry who would have died today would probably have been more than double.

Lu Zheng rushed to the front and joined the team that was killing the Xuan Yin Sect Master.

Even though the latter was now covered in blood, with wounds all over his body, especially with a broken crossbow on his shoulder, Lu Zheng still almost dropped the long sword in his hand several times when fighting him.

If the level of proficiency hadn't been so tempting, he might not have rushed up at this moment.

"kill!"

Just as the two sides were still locked in a fierce battle, He Yun rushed over from behind. He had changed into heavy armor at some point, and this time he was carrying a long-handled golden mace, which he swung at the Xuan Yin Sect Master.

A gust of wind howled and struck the woman's chest unexpectedly, causing a cracking sound.

The hall master's body lay on his back on the ground.

Blood was gushing from her mouth and nose, but she was not dead; her chest was still heaving.

"Splash!"

  

The elite Hundred Cavalrymen threw out the chains in their hands.

The iron hooks hanging above were precisely inserted into the woman's collarbone, locking her collarbone in place.

Then, more than ten people rushed up, first severing his tendons in his hands and feet, and then binding his limbs with chains.

After she was suppressed.

Lu Zheng could sense that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This battle was too brutal, even more brutal than the battle at Baihualou. In a short time, hundreds of people died. Xiao Ling was slightly injured, and He Yun was seriously injured.

Many more people were injured.

Keep in mind that these were all elite soldiers in full armor.

It must be said that the methods of these sect masters are indeed formidable.

At this moment, Xiao Ling looked at the border troops with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes. Originally, she looked down on these rough and uncouth men, but she did not expect them to contribute so much in this battle.

However, Lu Zheng was the most satisfied. The other party had actually identified the people from the sect, and in this battle, he personally killed two sect experts.

This is definitely a great achievement.

Then, he looked at Lu Zheng and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am fine."

"Okay, take stock of the fallen subordinates. You handle things here. I'll take the man back first." After saying that, Xiao Ling ordered her men to drag the Xuan Yin Sect Hall Master, whose bleeding had stopped, towards the Hundred Cavalry Division's encampment.

This time, the mission is finally accomplished.

With these two actions, Xiao Ling has firmly established herself in the position of centurion.

After their figures completely disappeared.

Lu Zheng looked at He Yun, who was already sitting on the ground, and asked, "Brother, are your injuries serious?"

The latter waved his hand: "It's alright, nothing serious. I'll just go back and rest for a few days. These sect people are really damn troublesome."

After saying that, he turned to those around him and said, "Make a record of the names of all the brothers who died in battle. Bring those who should be brought back, and let the wounded receive treatment first."

After seeing He Yun begin to arrange things for his subordinates.

Lu Zheng also walked towards his brother-in-law and second uncle.

Zhao Ben fought quite bravely in this battle, and although his armor was torn in one place, he seemed very excited.

Lu Kun, standing to the side, was pale, but he had been protected by Huang Yan and the others and had not been harmed.

After Lu Zheng came over, he first looked at Huang Yan and said, "You did a good job. I'll remember your merit. Now go and count the brothers who died in battle on our side. You know the rules."

"Yes, sir." Huang Yan immediately led his men into the arena.

Lu Zheng then looked at Lu Kun and asked, "Second Uncle, are you planning to leave the city today, or wait until tomorrow?"

The latter's hand trembled slightly: "I... I'll do it today. We've already been delayed for so long, I really can't wait any longer."

"Father-in-law, take this. It's a letter from my father. He knows many people while stationed in the army outside the Great Wall. If you encounter any trouble, take this letter and go directly to them." Zhao Ben handed over a letter.

In the past, Zhao Ben had approached his father because his father-in-law was about to leave the pass and asked him to write a letter to his comrades outside the pass to look after him.

But Zhao Xin at that time resolutely refused, because it would require him to use his connections.

They all need to be repaid.

This time, however, Zhao Ben didn't say anything; Zhao Xin wrote the letter himself and had Lu Kun take it with him.

The latter took the letter, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile, "With this, things will be much easier after we leave the pass. I'll be leaving now."

After saying this, he called to the caravan to prepare to leave.

The city gates were opened at this time.

As for Lu Zheng, after seeing his second uncle off, he chatted with Zhao Ben for a few minutes.

After the bodies of the elite soldiers who died in battle on the Hundred Cavalry Division were transported back to their garrison, and the wounded also returned,

Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, he slowly walked towards home.

At this moment, even with his strong physical body, he was inevitably a little tired.

The blood and grime covering his body made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After pushing open the courtyard gate and entering, looking at the empty house, Lu Zheng couldn't help but think that he should really find a maid.

Otherwise, I'll have to boil the water myself if I want to take a bath this time.

I'm still a little hungry.

Cooking is such a hassle.

After a moment's hesitation, he picked up a change of clothes from inside the house, wrapped them up, and headed towards the Soft Jade Pavilion.

I plan to rest there for a day first.

He is not the kind of person who would mistreat himself. He had no choice in the past, but now that he has the means, he naturally cannot just make do with whatever he wants.

Especially after working so hard last night, I felt exhausted.

Lu Zheng didn't want to stay in the cold, sterile room at all.

The fragrant attic was filled with steam and the scent of rouge. Hot water was ready, and a table was set with exquisite dishes and a pot of wine.

Lu Zheng immersed himself in the water, while a young woman of about sixteen or seventeen gently massaged his back behind him.

This made him sigh, "This is what life should be like."

After applying the towel to her face, she looked up and met a pair of bright eyes. The girl's eyes held restraint and a hint of fear.

After all, when Lu Zheng first came in, he was covered in blood and grime, and he was a member of the imperial court. If the madam hadn't given her a strict order to take good care of Lu Zheng, she really wouldn't have dared to come over.

Seeing the woman's evasive gaze.

Lu Zheng found it amusing, then opened the system panel to see just how much he had gained after this fierce battle.
