Jianchen's body was enveloped by the azure wind element as he shot through the night sky like a streak of azure light, quickly flying toward the enemy commander.
The expressions of the vice-generals beside the commander changed drastically when they saw Jian Chen fly over. They cried out in a hurry, "Oh no, he's coming for the general."
"Protect the general!"
"General, run!"
A few of the deputy generals exclaimed in shock. Then, they surrounded the old man, who seemed to be in his sixties, and quickly escorted him to the back.
The surrounding soldiers all returned to their senses as well. Even though the death of their Heaven Saint Masters was a huge blow to their morale, there was no lack of hot-blooded men among them. They all used their bodies to block the old general's path.
Seeing the actions of these people, Jianchen's eyes revealed a sliver of disdain. The commanders were only Earth Saint Masters, so how could they protect the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's commander from a Heaven Saint Master?
In the blink of an eye, Jian Chen closed in on them. With a flick of his finger, streaks of azure and violet Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips, causing the Earth Saint Master deputies to become flustered and unable to fend for themselves. Jian Chen took advantage of this opportunity to grab the old general by the shoulder and lift him up. He then quickly flew over the heads of the soldiers and headed towards the Gesun Kingdom's camp.
Although there were many Earth Saint Masters in the army, they could not fight back against a Heaven Saint Master. They could only watch as their commander was taken away by Jianchen. They were all furious.
When Jian Chen landed on top of the dilapidated walls with the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's commander in tow, the soldiers of the Gesun Kingdom immediately let out heaven-shaking cheers. Each and every one of them had expressions of excitement on their faces. Many of them even had tears of joy flowing from their eyes.
Due to the large difference in numbers and the disproportionate number of peak experts, the Kingdom of Gesun had been suppressed by the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's army for the past few days. They could only use their geographical advantage to fight back. They had originally thought that the Kingdom of Gesun would definitely lose this time, causing many of the soldiers to fall into despair.
But who would have thought that in such a short amount of time, the situation would change so drastically. The five Heaven Saint Masters of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom had all been killed by their own experts, and even the enemy commander had been captured alive. How could the soldiers not be overjoyed?
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom were all demoralized. They no longer had the will to fight. The Heaven Saint Masters were like a pillar of support to the ordinary soldiers. Now that their pillar of support had fallen, they no longer had the courage and fearlessness they had before. Even the generals were stupefied. Their eyes were empty. The death of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's five Heaven Saint Masters had already dealt a heavy blow to them. Now that their commander had been captured, they had no idea what to do next.
Many of the generals gathered around the ruined walls. They all looked at Jianchen in admiration as they thanked him. Although Jianchen only seemed to be in his twenties, they were not naive enough to believe that Jianchen was only as young as he seemed. They all believed that Jianchen was a senior who had lived for hundreds of years.
Although the old general of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom had been captured by Jianchen, his presence did not decrease at all. He glared at Jianchen and growled, "Imperial Protector? Just which kingdom's Imperial Protector are you? You actually dared to interfere with the matters of our four kingdoms. Are you not afraid that we'll flatten your kingdom? " The death of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's five Heaven Saint Masters had a huge impact on the overall strength of the kingdom. As a result, the old general's hatred for Jianchen was extremely strong.
When the generals of the Kingdom of Gesun heard this, their gazes were filled with ridicule. Their faces were filled with disdain. In front of the Qin Empire, one of the eight great kingdoms, the four kingdoms were as weak as tofu, unable to withstand a single blow.
"Old General Xu, you better show some respect in front of the esteemed Imperial Protector. Otherwise, the consequences of offending the Qin Empire are not something you can bear." A general coldly snorted.
Hearing this, the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's Old General Xu's expression changed as he exclaimed, "Qinhuang Kingdom? Could it be the Qin Empire, one of the eight great kingdoms of the Tian Yuan Continent? "
"That's right!" The general who had spoken earlier said proudly. His face was filled with pride. The fact that the Kingdom of Gesun was able to associate themselves with the Qin Empire was definitely a joyous occasion for them.
Old General Xu sneered. He did not believe it at all. "Don't try to scare me. Don't think that I don't know the background of the Kingdom of Gesun. How could the Kingdom of Gesun associate themselves with a powerful country like the Qin Empire? Hmph, you're so naive to think that you can scare me with just two Heaven Saint Masters. Do you think that I, Xu Yunfei, am a three-year-old child?"
The generals of the Kingdom of Gesun were enraged. However, before they could do anything, Jianchen raised his hand to stop them. He said, "The enemy's Heaven Saint Masters are all dead. I'm sure you all know what to do next."
The generals of the Kingdom of Gesun did not dare to delay. They all nodded respectfully.
Jianchen handed Old General Xu over to them. He then turned to Dongyi Junbai and Cao Keqin and said, "Go and treat your wounds. Once you're healed, head to the Southern Fort immediately."
"Yes, sir!" Dongyi Junbai and Cao Keqin replied respectfully. Their attitude towards Jianchen had changed drastically. Their respect came from the bottom of their hearts. It was completely different from before.
What happened next had nothing to do with Jianchen. He had done what he needed to do. The rest was up to the generals.
Jianchen returned to the inn that had been temporarily converted into a command post to rest. He closed the door tightly and forbade anyone from disturbing him. He blocked all the generals and leaders of the various factions who wanted to use this opportunity to make friends with him.
That night, loud voices constantly rang out from the walls. The generals stationed at the Western Fort of the Kingdom of Gesun stood on the walls and gave a speech. They used their words to suppress the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom and ordered them to surrender. On the other hand, the highest commander of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom was tied up like a dumpling and pressed against the walls by several experts.
The death of five Heaven Saint Masters and the capture of their commander had caused the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Kingdom to lose all morale. Their battle prowess had greatly decreased as well. In the end, after a discussion among the commanders, they decided to retreat. This was because they knew that they no longer had any Heaven Saint Masters on the frontlines. Once the Heaven Saint Masters of the Kingdom of Gesun moved against the ordinary soldiers, they would not be able to stop them. Even the soldiers themselves would be killed.
Jianchen's arrival had temporarily alleviated the dangerous situation in the Western Fort of the Kingdom of Gesun. Many of the generals were grateful and wanted to hold a feast for Jianchen, but they were firmly rejected by Jianchen.
With the crisis temporarily resolved, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gesun began to recuperate. A large number of craftsmen were sent out from the city to repair the damaged walls to prevent another attack from the Hidden Dragon Kingdom.
The next afternoon, Cao Keqin and Dongyi Junbai finally recovered from their wounds with the help of several dozen Radiant Saint Masters. They immediately followed Jianchen's orders and left for the belt in the south.
What happened next was extremely peaceful. Jian Chen stayed there for two days, only leaving after Tian Xing had completely recovered. Afterwards, he hurried towards the Eastern Fort as quickly as possible.
The Hidden Dragon Kingdom only had nine Heaven Saint Masters in total. Four of them had died in the Northern Fort and five had been slain by Jianchen. It could be said that the Hidden Dragon Kingdom's experts were all dead. As a result, Jianchen did not have to worry about the Hidden Dragon Kingdom sending more experts over. With Tian Xing, a Heaven Saint Master, guarding the fort was enough to deter an army of a million.
The Eastern Fort was very far from the Western Fort, almost crossing the entire Kingdom of Gesun's territory. It was over ten thousand kilometers away. Even with Jianchen's speed, it would take him six to eight hours to get there.
The Eastern Fort of the Kingdom of Gesun had already been breached by the Blue Wind Kingdom. The army of the Blue Wind Kingdom pursued the deserters of the Kingdom of Gesun, deep into the Kingdom of Gesun's territory.
Jianchen flew for over four hours and only stopped when he was over three thousand kilometers away from the Eastern Fort. This was because in a large city not far from him, a dozen or so Heaven Saint Masters radiating with elemental energy were engaged in a great battle. Ripples of energy shook the sky, causing it to darken. It was extremely intense.
Jianchen looked over, as if he could see through space. He could clearly see what was happening a dozen kilometers away. His face then became extremely stern.
There were a total of fifteen people fighting, eleven against four. Of the four, two were people Jianchen knew. They were the principal of Kargath Academy, Kafir, and the Imperial Advisor of the Qin Empire, Xiao Tian. Although he did not know the other two, it was obvious that they were from the Kingdom of Gesun. The difference in numbers was just too great. The three Heaven Saint Masters from the Kingdom of Gesun were heavily injured and covered in blood. Xiao Tian, on the other hand, was the most heavily injured out of the four. His body was covered in countless terrifying wounds. There was even a hole in his chest that was bleeding profusely. He was completely covered in blood.
Seeing this, Jianchen's eyes turned cold. His killing intent surged as a tremendous presence spread out in all directions. He then charged toward the battlefield. At the same time, countless rocks and sand floated into the air below the battlefield. They shot toward the eleven Heaven Saint Masters with the speed of lightning, relieving the pressure on the Heaven Saint Masters from the Kingdom of Gesun.
"Imperial Protector!" Xiao Tian immediately recognized Jianchen and smiled.
