My Wife is A Sword God - Chapter 529: Prince Chu's Army
The cheers and shouts came one after another and lasted for a long time.
The people in the city who were hiding in their homes leaned out tremblingly after hearing the commotion, and looked carefully, only to see a group of soldiers and demon slayers with tears in their eyes.
One woman saw this and knew that Huilin City had escaped the catastrophe of being destroyed.
As the tension drained from her entire body, she collapsed to the ground, with tears streaming down her face.
Seeing his mother like this, the little child asked curiously, “Mom, why are you crying?
“Mom is happy,” the woman replied, holding him tightly.
The soldiers greeted Qin Feng as he descended from the city wall, each with a grateful expression.
However, when they saw the green jade demon slaying token on Qin Feng’s waist, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
The means to incinerate countless demons and ghosts, how could someone with a green jade demon slaying token achieve that?
And coupled with his two beautiful and powerful wives, who exactly was this young master?
Qin Feng turned to look at the ashes outside the city, his brow furrowed as he thought about the ghost-faced man from earlier.
The Puppet Corpse Technique was capable of controlling corpses, and the stronger the practitioner, the more corpses they could control.
Recently, there have been demons and ghost disasters in various places in the western regions, with the corpses of demons and ghosts littering the ground.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the siege of Corpse Mountain was definitely not limited to Huilin City.
Just then, the urgent sound of hoofbeats outside the city caught Qin Feng’s attention, and he looked up to see a cavalry charge towards them.
It must be reinforcements.
Qin Feng looked at the military flag with a thoughtful look on his face. He had seen this flag when the princes of the four regions came to pay homage to the new emperor during the Imperial City New Year Congratulations Ceremony.
The army that came to the rescue was no ordinary army, but soldiers of Prince Chu from the western regions!
It makes sense if you think about it. How could Prince Chu turn a blind eye to the chaos in the Western Regions?
Prince Chu’s soldiers looked surprised when they saw the dilapidated gates and walls of Huilin City, as well as the ashes scattered all over the ground.
The temperature here was also noticeably higher than in other places, and the great war horses became restless, their hooves tapping impatiently on the ground in the residual heat.
A soldier asked the anxious man in the army, “Didn’t you say that countless demons and ghosts were besieging Huilin City? What’s going on here?”
The worried man widened his eyes. Of course, he was the one sent to request reinforcements. Originally, he was on his way to Heavenly City, but he happened to run into the army of Prince Chu and hastily informed them of the crisis in Huilin City.
But who could have imagined that when they returned with reinforcements, the once precarious Huilin City was nowhere to be seen, not even a single demon and ghost.
“I… I don’t know. It wasn’t like this when we left.”
The leading soldier narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw the deep ravine outside Huilin City. Looking into the city through the dilapidated city gate, he saw only a crowd of people.
He stretched out his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two.
“What exactly happened here? Find someone and ask.”
Prince Chu’s army wanted to enter Huilin City on horseback, but was blocked by a deep ravine outside the city.
Some soldiers were shocked and said: “What kind of attack could cause such marks?”
“Sword marks,” the leader said in a deep voice. As a powerful warrior, he could see through the situation at a glance.
This is a ravine opened by a high-level martial artist who practices swordsmanship with his sword qi!
In the entire Western Regions, he knew of only one person who possessed such power: the divine swordsman Gong Cang!
However, he was certain that the person who made this sword mark was not Gong Cang, as Huilin City was not under Gong Cang’s jurisdiction.
“Wait here, I’ll be back soon,” the man said before dismounting and jumping effortlessly.
A distance of ten zhang was nothing to him.
Just then, someone ran out of the city and, after learning about the man and the army behind him, told them everything that had happened in Huilin City.
Even the man who had seen many storms looked surprised when he heard this.
As corpses piled up beneath the city walls, the head of the Demon Slaying Department fell in battle, and the city was breached in an instant.
As a result, reinforcements arrived and not only stopped countless demons and ghosts, but even burned them all with monstrous flames?
No wonder the ground was covered in ash and the temperature felt like a furnace.
What surprised him the most was that the one who achieved such results was not a brave and valiant army, but just a few individuals!
“Could it really be General Gong Cang?” the man wondered.
The newcomer shook his head. “That young hero only wears the Green Jade Demon Slaying Token. As for the two women accompanying him, I don’t know their identities, but I do know that they are formidable.”
“Take me to see them.”
“General, please follow me.”
He approached the city gate, only to see the city wall riddled with holes.
Inside the city, a crowd gathered around a group of people, Qin Feng and his entourage of course.
The man glanced at the leader and saw that the young man in black was exuding an ordinary aura.
However, the people around him were obviously not ordinary people.
The delicate and cute girl, though charming, gave the impression of a group of fierce tigers descending from a mountain.
The woman with clear blue eyes, aloof and beautiful, had unfathomable strength, like a giant dragon in the clouds.
Especially the woman in white, apart from her stunning appearance, her aura was like a sharp sword hanging around his neck, making him shiver.
The man was certain that the sword traces outside the city must be the work of this woman in white!
Since when did such formidable individuals appear in the western regions?
The guide pointed at Qin Feng and said, “General, this is the Hero Qin who saved Huilin City.”
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” The man frowned, in his eyes, this young man in black simply did not have that kind of strength.
“How could I be mistaken? General, you may not know that if Young Master Qin hadn’t provided us with a large amount of gunpowder to block the demons and ghosts, and if he hadn’t single-handedly created a powerful formation that burned the bodies of the demons and ghosts, Huilin City would have fallen into an irreparable situation!”
“For this reason, we are extremely grateful to Young Master Qin.”
“What did you say?” The man frowned, gunpowder was a scarce commodity, only the Great Qian Army and the Demon Slaying Department could be equipped with it.
It was absolutely impossible for a single person to possess a large amount of gunpowder. After all, hiding gunpowder privately was a serious crime!
As one of the generals of the Chu King’s army, he clearly understood the importance of gunpowder to soldiers. It was a guarantee to increase the survival rate!
Thinking of this, he looked solemn and strode towards Qin Feng, who was surrounded by everyone. Of course, considering that the other party was trying to save Huilin City after all, he would not directly accuse the other party of hiding gunpowder.
However, the issue of gunpowder was of great importance. It had to be presented to Prince Chu to determine its source.
The man had already thought of what to say. He reached out his hand to touch Qin Feng.
But perhaps due to years of warfare, he exuded a battle-hardened aura coupled with an unfriendly demeanour that immediately caught the attention of Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan.
Before he could react, he felt a whirlwind, and when he regained his senses, he had fallen heavily to the ground.
Cang Feilan held a short dagger to the man’s neck and coldly asked, “Who are you and what do you want?”
The man was shocked. It happened so fast that he couldn’t react!
Just as he was about to explain, a determined woman said, “Enough, I don’t want to hear your excuses.”
With these words, Cang Feilan’s dagger was about to descend.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qin Feng hastily stopped.
