Chapter 1095: Chapter 1096: Battle of Torment! (Third Update)
Because of his concern for the situation over at the Sky Peak Camp, Ling Feng didn’t linger much longer at the Dark Dragon Palace. After briefly adjusting the elemental power within his body, he directly set off on the return journey to the Black Water Plain.
He knew clearly what he needed to do now, not just to be immersed in the sadness of Mu Qianxue’s departure.
There are more important matters waiting for him to tend to.
At least, Mu Qianxue is very safe now, and she will become very strong, very strong!
And he, too, needs to become stronger to be able to continue protecting her by her side as before!
“Hall Master, thank you for your care these past few days.”
Ling Feng bowed deeply to Bai Su. Under Bai Su’s escort, Ling Feng had safely left the influence of the Dark Dragon Palace.
“It’s nothing more than fulfilling a request on behalf of someone. This was specially entrusted to me by Xue’er as well.”
Bai Su waved his hand, glanced at Ling Feng, and added, “Actually, you could have waited until you were fully recovered before leaving.”
“No need, I’ve already troubled you enough.”
Ling Feng bowed once more to Bai Su, “Hall Master, I’m leaving. I will always remember that among the Demon Clan, there are still good demons like you. The Human Clan and Demon Clan shouldn’t be at war.”
“You’re also a good person, at least a good man. No matter what, you are Ling’er’s lifesaver. I hope in the future, we won’t meet on the battlefield again.”
Bai Su spoke with a bitter smile.
“We won’t.”
Ling Feng shook his head and smiled. With the Silver Wolf Demon Emperor dead, he probably won’t set foot in the Southern Border again.
Once he helps Moo Feng establish his prestige in the army and obtain military power, he’ll head directly to the East Spirit Immortal Pond, heading towards a broader world.
The pace of becoming stronger must speed up!
“It’s a pity you’re not of the Demon Clan; otherwise, you would certainly be an ideal match for that girl Ling’er.”
Bai Su looked at Ling Feng with a smile, thought for a moment, then took out a jade token from his sleeve, speaking softly, “This jade pendant was originally intended as a gift for Xue’er. Now that Xue’er has left, I’ll give it to you. She left in a hurry and didn’t leave anything for you, consider this jade pendant as a memento.”
Ling Feng reached out to take the jade pendant. It was just an ordinary jade pendant, but engraved on its front was the character “Xue”.
Ling Feng gripped the jade pendant tightly. In fact, Mu Qianxue had left him with something, her divine blood. Now, within him flows half of Mu Qianxue’s blood!
This is a gift engraved in the bones and etched in the heart, flowing in the bloodline!
Carefully storing the jade pendant, Ling Feng nodded solemnly to Bai Su, “Thank you, Hall Master. Disciple, bids farewell!”
Bowing once more to Bai Su, Ling Feng used his movement technique to swiftly head towards the direction of the Black Water Plain.
As Ling Feng’s figure gradually disappeared into the dense forest ahead, Bai Su sighed and slowly said, “Silly girl, hiding away to cry by yourself is not your style at all.”
“Mother…”
From the treetops, a figure floated down. It was none other than the mischievously spirited little demon girl, Bai Ling’er.
But in these few days, she probably cried more than ever before.
“Alright, alright, you little devil of a girl, since when did you become a crybaby.”
Bai Su gently wiped the tears from her daughter’s cheeks, shaking her head with a smile.
“I… I have a broken heart!” Bing Ling’er sniffled.
“Is heartbreak that big of a deal?”
“It was my first love!”
“Long Fei didn’t seem to like you that way. At most, it was just a crush on your side!”
“What kind of mother are you! I… I’m never talking to you again!”
…
Black Water Plain.
Although there had been a dramatic upheaval in the Dark Dragon Palace, it seemed that the frontline battlefield hadn’t received any news yet.
The war is far from officially over.
At least in the vicinity of Black Water Plain, the brutal war continued every day.
“It’s already the fifth day…”
In the main tent, nearly every general was seriously injured. Commander Xu Zhongda had even lost an arm, becoming a one-armed commander.
In fact, if Jiang Xiaofan hadn’t taken a blow for him, his life might have been forfeit.
If the generals are like this, one can imagine the state of the soldiers beneath them.
Enduring wave after wave of fierce attacks from the Demon Clan coalition, losses at the Sky Peak Camp have exceeded half. Even the most elite Black Armored Cavalry has suffered over ten thousand casualties!
There are no reinforcements, nor is there hope of victory in sight.
The Demon Clan coalition seemed to be constantly wearing down the soldiers of the Sky Peak Camp with this relentless tactic.
“Report, the Demon Clan coalition has launched another attack on the right flank of our outpost!”
The messenger rushed breathlessly into the tent with a message that nearly drove all the generals to despair.
Half an hour ago, they had just withstood the previous wave of attacks!
“Those damned bastards!”
Xu Zhongda picked up his broadsword, gritting his teeth, “Vice General Jiang, let me go! I’ve rested enough!”
“No, I’ll go!”
Jiang Xiaofan’s eyes turned blood red. He hadn’t closed his eyes in five consecutive days and nights, leading by example in every battle.
“No, Xiao Fan, if this goes on, your body won’t withstand it!”
Moo Feng firmly pressed down on Jiang Xiaofan’s shoulder, “You’re Brother Feen’s brother; I absolutely cannot let anything happen to you. This time, let me go!”
“Right now, there is no prince here, only a soldier!”
Moo Feng’s eyes were also bloodshot.
In these short five days, he had witnessed too much bloodshed, too many sacrifices.
Weakness and evasion on this bloody battlefield were considered a luxury.
“It is precisely because I am my brother’s brother!”
Jiang Xiaofan resolutely stood up. Beneath the heavy armor, his body was already covered in scars.
“Xiao Fan! You…”
Moo Feng looked deeply at Jiang Xiaofan, whose eyes were full of determination and steely resolve. Was this still the previously awkward, honest young man?
“Sorry! Brother Feng!”
Jiang Xiaofan threw a punch, knocking Moo Feng out, and then grabbed the Silence Sword from the table, shouting, “Fight to the death, even if it’s the last soldier standing!”
“Vice General Jiang, you’re…”
The soldiers were shocked at Jiang Xiaofan’s decisiveness, with no hesitation at all.
“Watch over Prince Jing!”
Jiang Xiaofan took a deep breath, gripping his sword, and charged out of the camp.
Kill!
The armies clashed once more. The Human Clan army was already physically and mentally exhausted. Every battle was a torment for the soldiers of the Sky Peak Camp.
A brutal, inhumane torment!
Watching their comrades fall one after another, perhaps tomorrow, or the next moment, it would be their turn to fall!
