Lin Jin's words now carried weight. Up to a thousand Grassy Continent soldiers were rushing over, including many pet beasts. But once they stepped into the range of the Breezy Monster Sword, they froze in place.
Because Qingfeng cultivated the Divine Path Sword Scroll, although he hadn't mastered it fully, his sword aura was already starting to take shape. Within a range of ten thousand feet, he could kill anything within an instant. Unless the opponent was a Rank 6 pet beast or an immortal, they wouldn't be able to defend themselves.
There were also thousands of Maple City citizens within this range. Lin Jin's words were for them to return and rescue them.
Anyone who dared to stop him would be killed by Qingfeng's sword.
Hence, Lin Jin's final words of 'kill without mercy' were actually an order for Qingfeng's sword.
Many citizens had witnessed Lin Jin saving Zhao Ying and Jia Qian earlier. Besides, who in Maple City didn't know Lin Jin's name?
Forget Maple City, everyone in the entire Jade Dragon Kingdom knew who Lin Jin was. Hence, when they heard that Lin Jin was here to rescue them and tell them to leave, the citizens immediately fled as if they had found their pillar of support.
Although most of the Grassy Continent soldiers were scared stiff by Qingfeng's sword, there were some who weren't afraid of death.
Refusing to give in, a hulking Grassy Continent man over two and a half meters tall cursed and controlled his pet beast to stop Qingfeng.
But the next instant, there was a flash of light.
A sword scar that was a hundred feet long appeared on the back of the Grassy Continent's giant man, extending to his back. The giant man was instantly killed, and the dozen or so Grassy Continent soldiers behind him also suffered heavy casualties. In an instant, severed limbs littered the ground, and screams rang out everywhere.
One of the Grassy Continent generals' eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
He didn't even get a clear look at what happened when Qingfeng's sword left a mark in the air. The mark was more than ten feet deep and the ground was split open, including the rocks below.
This was terrifying.
Hence, none of the Grassy Continent soldiers dared to move.
The citizens of Maple City cheered in joy as they ran for their lives.
In the distance, the Grassy Continent army and beast horde were mobilizing, cutting off the entire area like a long snake. They were far away from Qingfeng's sword's threat.
It was obvious that the Grassy Continent's allied army was formidable. Lin Jin made a move and flew forward on his cloud.
The Qingfeng Demon Sword hovered in the air. This way, it could protect the thousands of Maple City citizens and deter the other Grassy Continent soldiers from acting recklessly.
Lin Jin had a lot of skills. Even without the Breeze Monster Sword, it wouldn't be a problem.
The cloud of fire moved quickly and arrived at the Grassy Continent's main force in the blink of an eye. On a hillside before them, tens of thousands of Grassy Continent soldiers were lined up in formation. In addition, tens of thousands of beasts were lined up at the forefront. Even Lin Jin's heart palpitated at the sight of this.
Putting aside their actual strength, just the aura brought by the tens of thousands of ferocious beasts and soldiers was enough to overwhelm everything.
Lin Jin sighed.
After all, he was only one person. The power of one person could not surpass the power of ten thousand people.
However, momentum was only a part of one's strength. What truly determined victory or defeat was still raw strength.
For example, if Lin Jin were to use Dragonfire now, he could spit out a sea of fire that was thousands of feet high. By then, the number of casualties would be in the tens of thousands.
Since his own people were still in the enemy's hands, Lin Jin had to think twice before making a move. He couldn't act recklessly.
Looking around, there were still thousands of Maple City citizens trapped among the tens of thousands of Grassy Continent soldiers. What was even more interesting was that the enemy had released tens of thousands of Maple City citizens.
The Grassy Continent army clearly knew that it was pointless to bring more burdens with them at a time like this. After all, their target was already here.
Hence, they only needed to have the most important hostage in their hands.
At this moment, a person walked out from the Grassy Continent army. This person was taller than the surrounding Grassy Continent natives by half a body's height, as if he had the bloodline of a titan. After all, there were very few people in the Middle Plains who could grow to five feet tall.
This person was holding a long staff made from the spine of an unknown beast. Other than a pair of pants that resembled an apron made from animal hide, his upper body was almost naked. His skin had a strange purplish hue to it and was covered in tattoos. It was a very intimidating sight. But to Lin Jin, this person reminded him of the image of a certain island tycoon entering a bathhouse in the modern world.
He was definitely capable.
Lin Jin could sense that the power of a blood contract granted a person a keen sense of perception akin to that of a beast. The strength this person exuded was very close to that of an immortal.
He also seemed like a pet beast at the peak of Rank 5.
Needless to say, this person was the leader of the Grassy Continent's allied army. Lin Jin could tell from how respectful the Grassy Continent people were toward this giant.
Wherever this giant passed, the Grassy Continent people would cross their arms in front of their chests and bow in greeting.
This was the highest form of etiquette for the barbarians.
Lin Jin had some understanding of the Grassy Continent people's etiquette. Despite the number of kingdoms in the Grassy Continent, the Grassy Continent people's culture was actually of the same lineage.
Almost all barbarians believed in the 'Beast God Religion'.
They would bow to nobles and even kings and emperors with a single hand salute. Only high-ranking priests of the Beast God Religion and those with great prestige would bow with both hands.
Hence, Lin Jin could tell that this tattooed barbarian was a high-ranking clergyman of the Grassy Continent's Beast God Religion based on their etiquette.
Lin Jin had some understanding of this Beast God Religion. To put it simply, they didn't have much use or ambition. They were more of a spiritual belief among the barbarians, a totem-like existence.
Of course, not everyone in the Grassy Continent believed in the Beast God Religion.
Take Daluo Temple for example.
Buddhist sects like this one had many believers in the Grassy Continent too, but their influence paled in comparison to the Beast God Religion.
Lin Jin had once heard someone analyze Grassy Continent's situation. For the past several centuries, the Beast God's cult had only been a symbol of spiritual totems. They had never fought for power with the nobles or royalty of the other kingdoms. This was why Grassy Continent's countries had been able to develop and flourish. If the Beast God Religion began to consolidate its power, more than eighty percent of the Grassy Continent's kingdoms would fall under its control.
When Lin Jin saw the Grassy Continent people's salute, he knew that the Beast God Religion was behind this operation against the Jade Dragon Kingdom.
The Beast God Religion priest walked up to Lin Jin and shouted, "Hand over the god's stone!"
His accent was unique to the Grassy Continent. His tone was stiff but Lin Jin couldn't understand him.
What god's stone? This man was crazy.
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to correct him. He was now stronger than the priest so why should he be polite? Taking a deep breath, he barked, "Release him!"
His voice reverberated like waves. Just from this alone, Lin Jin's strength far surpassed the priest's.
The priest was clearly enraged. He slammed his bone staff on the ground, shattering the ground around him. The force behind the staff was evident.
