How could she die? How is it possible that she died?!

As a man, Peng Ying was crying like a kid due to the sorrow of losing his sister, and even more so because he couldn’t handle the consequences of his sister’s death.
He had managed to join the Infinite Sword School thanks to Peng Lan. By then, it was difficult to say whether he could continue to stay there.
Others were surprised to see Peng Lan’s dead body falling to the ground. They found it hard to believe.
Reaching Heaven States with golden fight loops were rare geniuses. For the Nine Great Forces in the Middle State, such people were difficult to find even though they were sought out.
The Infinite Sword School had found Peng Lan and regarded her as a treasure, training her with their hearts and souls, as well as the best resources.
It was this genius who had been killed over the Sword Master City, the principal city owned by the Infinite Sword School.
It was unimaginable what kind of impact this would be to the Infinite Sword School.

Die!
The elders’ eyes turned red in anger. They swore they would cut Jiang Chen’s dead body into thousands of pieces.

Don’t you dare!
General Mu fought his way through the crowd on the ground and came to Jiang Chen’s rescue rapidly.
However, the elders of the Infinite Sword School acted before he could. Judging from their speed, it seemed like General Mu wouldn’t make it unless Jiang Chen managed to hold on for some time on his own.
But how could a Reaching Heaven State hold up facing several Venerable elders of the Infinite Sword School?

Armor of thunder!

Jiang Chen didn’t wait there doing nothing. He dove, ignoring the elders’ attacks.
He had thought about countermeasures when he had killed Peng Lan—either to flee or get help from the dynasty.
General Mu’s reaction told him that the second option was possible.
However, the elders in the middle formed another barricade. After seeing Jiang Chen dive, they were all eager to launch a fatal attack at him.
Jiang Chen was like an innocent lamb jumping into a living hell.

Azure Demon! Black dragon!

He transformed into a phoenix when the fire of hell was about to burn him to death.
Azure Demon and black dragon might not have been able to fight against so many elders at the same time, but it certainly wouldn’t be a problem for them to protect Jiang Chen with a sudden attack.
As expected, upon seeing the sudden change, several prudent elders held back.
In the end, Jiang Chen surpassed these elders to join General Mu like he was fighting his way through a giant net.

Stay behind me.
General Mu was relieved. He took Jiang Chen under his protection.
Jiang Chen wasn’t easy. Azure Demon and black dragon told him if they repeated what they had done again, they would need a long time to recover.
General Mu said nothing to the elders who had just charged down aggressively, but took out a triangular token.
In an instant, the clouds in the sky started to burn. When people could see clearly, they saw they were actually warships on fire.
Supported by the burning clouds, the hulls of the ships pointed down. They were huge. The soldiers on the ships snarled like beasts, their drum beats deafening.
Some of the sharp-eyed people saw the weapons on the ships were all aimed at the Sword Master City.

Shoot!
General Mu didn’t hesitate to give his order immediately. There were lights flowing on his armor, too. He was ready to start a war.
Arrows as long as spears rained on every part of the city.
The defense formation of the city was cracked as soon as it had been turned on. The arrows pierced into the ground, giving off explosions.
Countless buildings collapsed, raising endless clouds of dust.
Under people’s shocked gazes, General Mu ordered again,
Shoot!

Whoosh!
The arrows rained down again. This time, the target was a mountain where the gate of the Infinite Sword School was.
The mountain that created a breathtaking view was also destroyed in an instant.
Everything happened in less than two minutes, and the change was completely unexpected. All of the elders of the Infinite Sword School in the air were petrified.
They hadn’t expected the army of the dynasty to be so powerful, and this was merely one division. If the dynasty wanted to eliminate the Nine Great Forces, it would be as easy as pie.
The Dragon Rebel Army didn’t make a sound. Unusually, they kept silent.

Fight!
General Mu ordered again. A lance appeared in his hand.
Not until then did Jiang Chen notice that the two rounds of arrows had destroyed the fortifications of the city and the defense formation of the Infinite Sword School.
The current Infinite Sword School was like a naked beauty, totally defenseless.

General, stop!

The Infinite Sword School finally reacted. Its vice leader hurried to fly into the air to cry for peace.

You started the war, so let me put an end to it!

General Mu pointed his lance at the vice leader’s heart. The latter turned pale.
With the support of the Dragon Rebel Army, the Infinite Sword School had been taking the Flying Dragon Dynasty for granted.
Not until the dynasty had shown its power did they realize how fragile they were, and the Dragon Rebel Army didn’t seem to have any intentions to lend them a hand.
A flowing light flew over at high speed from where the Infinite Sword School was located. It was a noble-looking middle-aged man.
The first thing he did after he had arrived was apologize to General Mu.

Calm down, general. This time, it’s the Infinite Sword School that went too far. But as generous as you are, please forgive them.

He was the leader of the Infinite Sword School.
The charm of strength.
Jiang Chen found it funny. For some people, one had to give a hard beating to intimidate them and hurt them so that they would come to understand the simplest things.

I already know which side the Infinite Sword School stands on,
General Mu said coldly, not showing any respect to the school leader.
The leader was too embarrassed to utter a word.

Just pray that you won’t regret it,
said General Mu again.
At the same time, he stopped the army, who were already ready to fight. He had gotten what he wanted, so there was no need to escalate the conflict.

General Mu, I also hope you won’t regret what you just did once you get back,
the leader of the Dragon Rebel Army said, gloating.
General Mu wasn’t affected, but his lieutenants hesitated.

Let’s go!
General Mu didn’t speak any more. He went back to his warship with Jiang Chen and the others.
The crowd was left behind. Upon seeing Jiang Chen leaving, they opened their mouths widely in surprise.
Anyway, Jiang Chen had achieved a mission that had seemed impossible. He had killed a genius of the Infinite Sword School in front of them.
Usually, only the Infinite Sword School could do this to others.
Feng Wei was relieved. Since Peng Lan was dead, Peng Ying’s threat didn’t mean anything anymore.
The Infinite Sword School might have protected their late disciples in some ways, but they certainly wouldn’t allow Peng Ying to bully like before.

That man seems like the same guy who killed the Two Elders of Sword and Mystery and Xiao Xuan in the Lonely Moon City.
At the same time, someone recognized Jiang Chen and identified the real reason that he had been disguised.
The Infinite Sword School felt regretful. Then they felt lucky, since if General Mu had learned this while he was in a rage, he could have done something even worse to them.
The warships left. They didn’t know where the ships went, or maybe they had hidden in the clouds again.
As for Jiang Chen, he started another journey on this ship.
As he silently counted how many days had passed since the radical change in the Dragon Field, he became more eager to grow stronger.
Should I contribute something to the dynasty so that they can send an army to the Dragon Field? Jiang Chen thought to himself.
