The Flame Wolf howled, and lightning soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, Feng Jixing's figure could no longer be seen on the plaza of Ze Tian Palace. All that could be seen was the raging wind and the soaring lightning around him. Everyone, including Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, had no choice but to retreat. Feng Jixing's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds over the past two years. No one had ever seen him use his full strength.
"Good fellow …"
Luo Xin squinted her eyes, she was not intimidated by Feng Jixing's aura. The Purple Dragon Martial Spirit soared into the sky, like a divine dragon spiraling in the sky. Amidst the resplendent rays of light, traces of lightning soared into the sky. Like Feng Jixing, Luo Xin also cultivated the laws of lightning. However, Feng Jixing cultivated wind, lightning, and fire, while Luo Xin only cultivated the laws of lightning.
Amidst the raging wind, a saber light swept over. Feng Jixing had already made his move — — Scorching Golden Sand!
A strand of fiery saber Qi rushed over. Before it even reached Luo Xin, Luo Xin's face was already burning hot.
"Dragon Lightning Breakthrough!"
Luo Xin roared angrily. Her spear pierced out, bringing with it a strand of vast lightning energy. The spear light actually transformed into a dragon-shaped lightning bolt that tore apart the wind storm that Feng Jixing had condensed.
"Dang!"
When the blade of the spear collided with the Windcutter Saber, Feng Jixing's face was filled with battle intent. Wielding the saber with both hands, he swept it forward, causing Luo Xin's spear to lose its aim. He raised his battle boots and kicked out with a combination of fire, lightning, and wind — — Desert Gale!
"Good timing!"
Luo Xin actually laughed heartily. She suddenly raised her body and dodged Feng Jixing's sharp kick. Just as Feng Jixing's powerful kick flew past, Luo Xin flipped over and swept her leg toward her opponent's lower body. The power of the Purple Dragon was contained in her battle boots, shattering the stone tiles on the ground. The strength of this kick was definitely not weak.
Feng Jixing leaped into the air, and the image of the Purple Electric Flame Wolf's head appeared on his blade. He then slashed down at Luo Xin from high above!
Luo Xin stood up and slowly spread her legs apart. She lowered her center of gravity and raised her spear with both arms. This move had to be parried. Feng Jixing's attack was too fierce.
"Peng!"
The swords and spears created a shockwave that blew away the snow that had yet to be swept away. It also made a group of ministers retreat one after another. Each and every one of them could barely open their eyes.
A scorching hot power revolved around the spear's body. Luo Xin endured the burning pain and struggled to thrust the spear into the sky. In an instant, the sky was filled with the phantom images of the spear, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
Unable to land on the ground, Feng Jixing could only rely on his battle flames to balance himself. He held his saber in front of his chest and unleashed his ultimate technique — Blade Dance!
"Ding ding dang dang dang" sounds rang out in the air. The Windcutter Saber's blade radiance continued to descend onto the ground, leaving terrifying blade scars on the ground. Most of the blade qi landed on Luo Xin's Battle Armor, and the scales condensed by the Purple Dragon Martial Soul were being disintegrated inch by inch. At the same time, the spear radiance that was imbued with the Purple Dragon's light also struck Feng Jixing's body.
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
A series of Buddhist chants swept across the earth. The protective aura around Feng Jixing was extremely dense, and Luo Xin's determined spear projections were unable to penetrate even an inch into it.
"What kind of aura is this?"
Instead, it was Luo Xin's arms that felt numb from the shock. He was filled with suspicions as he concentrated all his strength on the spearhead and struck towards Feng Jixing's chest.
"Bam!"
The rebound force from the protective aura sent Luo Xin flying, and Feng Jixing was finally able to land on the ground. He gathered his battle flames again and charged at his opponent with a roar. The power of his saber soared into the sky, and he slashed out with his saber, creating a storm — Heaven Devouring Demonic Saber!
A chill ran down Luo Xin's spine, and he actually felt timid. That's right, he had a premonition that he was going to lose, but he couldn't lose face here!
"Hah!"
Luo Xin stabbed his spear into the ground and raised his palms. A purple dragon poured into his body, and his battle flames formed a shield. He was actually using his palms to block Feng Jixing's saber projections!
"Bam …"
The floor tiles were torn to shreds, and a third of the plaza was destroyed in an instant. Luo Xin stood where he was, looking battered and exhausted. The soft armor on his body had been sliced to pieces by the blade light, revealing the powerful muscles of his upper body. Although it was winter, his body was covered in sweat, and steam rose from his body. There was even a hint of excitement on his face.
It seemed like Feng Jixing's Heaven Devouring Demonic Saber wasn't that strong!
"Come on, Feng Jixing! Show me what you've got! "Luo Xin laughed loudly, and the purple dragon martial spirit around him roared endlessly. The more he fought, the more courageous he became.
Feng Jixing's arm that was holding the saber was trembling slightly, and his face was ashen. The only reason he couldn't attack in a hurry was because of his stamina. His stamina was running out, and he couldn't use the King's Battle Flames and the protective aura of the diamond.
"General Feng, what's wrong?" Situ Xue couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine."
Feng Jixing waved his hand as he complained in his heart, "If I'm full, I'll beat the crap out of you. But I'm so hungry!"
There was no other way. For the sake of the Imperial Army and the empire's reputation, he had to fight!
With a wave of his saber, Feng Jixing pounced forward again, and a storm surged into the sky as he clashed with Luo Xin.
… …
In the end, the two of them fought back and forth. After exchanging over a hundred moves, they were still evenly matched. However, those with slightly higher cultivations could feel that Feng Jixing's domain aura was gradually decreasing. On the contrary, Luo Xin's aura was getting stronger and stronger, showing signs of surpassing Feng Jixing's.
"Dang!"
When the saber and spear collided, Feng Jixing's arm went numb, and he couldn't muster any strength. The Windcutter Saber would have flown out of his hand.
"Damn it!"
Feng Jixing cursed as he retreated dozens of meters, and he used the saber as a support to stabilize himself. He raised his palm towards Luo Xin and shouted, "Stop! I'm done! I'm done!"
Lightning danced around Luo Xin, and she said with a smile, "The winner hasn't been decided yet, why is General Feng stopping?"
Feng Jixing's face was pale, and he said, "Wait until I'm full!"
"So, General Feng admitted defeat?"
"I … I didn't admit defeat!" Feng Jixing shouted in a low voice.
Su Muyun gently stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Since General Feng didn't admit defeat, then let's fight again, until a winner is decided!"
"You!"
Feng Jixing was infuriated.
At this moment, Qin Yin stepped onto the pockmarked battlefield and said, "Forget it. Since Commander Feng has lost, so be it. It's just a loss for today."
She could also see that Feng Jixing was not in his best condition. If it was Feng Jixing in the past, it would be hard to predict the outcome. Even if he couldn't beat Luo Xin, he would definitely not lose. Qin Yin knew Feng Jixing's strength too well.
… …
"So, I won?"
Luo Xin couldn't help laughing, "Father, did you see that? I defeated the head of the Four Heroes of Lanyan, Feng Jixing! Hahaha … The Four Heroes of Lanyan are not as powerful as I thought! "
Qin Yin was very angry when she heard that, "What did you say?"
Qin Yan was already carrying his iron spear and preparing to go into battle.
Right at this time, a fiery red figure suddenly flew over, sticking close to the ground. Before Luo Xin could react, he was already looking at him at close range. It was Tang Xiaoxi. She had already entered the Nine-tailed transformation state. Nine flame tails danced in the air behind her, and the raging flames rose sharply. She raised her right hand backward, and a golden mark flowed in her palm. She said with a slight smile, "Do you dare to take one of my moves?"
"You!"
Luo Xin was startled by this beautiful demon fox girl in front of him. But seeing that the flames lingering around her body were actually also King's Battle Flames, he was even more shocked for a moment. He hurriedly raised both palms, forming a round shield, assuming a defensive posture, and said in a low voice, "Do you think I'm scared of you?"
"Tenth level, Cosmic Seal!" Tang Xiaoxi smiled sweetly.
"Peng!"
The Cosmic Seal's radiance rose sharply, and the piercingly cold energy instantly broke through Luo Xin's protective aura. His body was blasted away from his original spot like a falling leaf, rolling into a pile of rubble. If it wasn't for Tang Xiaoxi temporarily restraining more than 70% of her power, Luo Xin would probably have died under this attack.
"Princess Xi, you!" Su Muyun turned pale with fright.
Tang Xiaoxi slowly returned to her human form, waved her hand to disperse the power of the Fire God Seal, and said with a smile, "You can't even take one of my moves. What qualifications do you have to mock the Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning?"
Luo Xin slowly crawled up from the mess, and his face was pale. "I … I only lost to you because I exhausted a lot of energy. When I recover my strength, I will naturally challenge you again!"
However, Qin Yin raised her eyebrows. "Insolence! Xiao Xi is the Empire's Princess. Luo Xin, you don't have any title yet. If you say such insolent words again, don't blame me for not giving grandfather face. "
Su Muyun also frowned and said, "Luo Xin, come to foster father's side. Don't speak nonsense anymore!"
"Yes!"
Luo Xin walked over with his spear in a sorry state. Although defeating Feng Jixing was enough to make him famous, Tang Xiaoxi took the opportunity to defeat him. The reputation that he had painstakingly won was inevitably going to be greatly reduced.
…
Su Muyun cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Luo Xin has been cultivating in the mountains for decades and has not experienced the world. I hope that Your Highness can forgive him for his disrespect. However, it is true that Luo Xin possesses peerless martial arts and is loyal to the Empire. Therefore, I hope that Your Highness can put him in an important position."
"Yes, I know. Grandfather, what kind of title do you hope to give to Luo Xin?"
Su Muyun said, "I think … I want to let Luo Xin lead the Iron Blade Army in Yunzhong Province, starting from the rank of Chiliarch. When he has a certain level of commanding ability, I will hand over the Iron Blade Army to him. After all, grandfather is old and can no longer lead thousands of troops. If Your Highness doesn't mind, please bestow the title of Marquis to my godson. "
"Ah?" Qin Yin was stunned.
Situ Sen, who was not far away, laughed and said, "Your Highness, do you know how long it took for Commander Lin Muyu to rise from a low-class noble to Marquis Yun Ling? It took a full four years, and he used the achievement of drowning 70,000 armored demons in exchange for the title of Marquis Yun Ling. Moreover, he is the godson of the former emperor. May I ask … Luo Xin has not made any contributions, so what right does he have to be conferred the title of Marquis? "
Su Muyun's face instantly fell.
Qin Yin smiled and walked forward. She held Su Muyun's arm and said sweetly, "Grandfather, let's talk about conferring the title of Marquis in the future. Since Luo Xin has already joined the Empire's army, there will be plenty of opportunities for him to make contributions in the future. For now, let's give him the position of Chiliarch and the status of a fourth-class noble. What do you think, Grandfather?"
Since the empress had given him a way out, Su Muyun naturally wouldn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Yes, I will listen to Your Highness's arrangements!"
