Suddenly, the entire battlefield erupted into an uproar. The morale of the Sky City's defenders was greatly boosted. The enemy's generals had been defeated. This meant that they had won the war.
What? The Tianxuan General and General Zhao had been defeated! The Black Lava Empire's originally surging and majestic aura was instantly reduced to a crisp eggplant.
The Sky City's defenders seized the opportunity to throw fireballs and arrows at the Black Lava Empire's soldiers. The morale of the Black Lava Empire's soldiers was dispirited. Faced with the most ferocious attacks, they were slowly losing ground.
You're not an ordinary Martial King. Who are you? The Tianxuan General and General Zhao were smashed to the ground by Jiang Cheng's fist. The two Martial Kings were no match for Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng, since Sky City is part of Ghostmother's territory, I should return her a favor!
When Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the Tianxuan General and General Zhao were filled with disbelief. Jiang Cheng was acquainted with the Marquis who had expanded the territory of the Black Lava Empire. Returning a favor?
The Tianxuan General's face darkened. After a while, he waved his hand and threw a small psychedelic formation over the battlefield, preparing to retreat.
Retreat! The Tianxuan General roared and quickly retreated. The Black Lava Empire's soldiers immediately stopped fighting and threw away their helmets and armors.
A ruthless look flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes. If he did not get rid of the Tianxuan General and the rest, they would continue to invade Sky City in the future. Then, it would be another war.
His figure moved and he rushed out at lightning speed. The nine Murderous Flying Daggers spread out in front of him and killed all the Black Lava Empire's soldiers.
He's a Devil God. Everyone, run! The Black Lava Empire's soldiers were terrified when they saw their commander defeated and Jiang Cheng charging into the battlefield like an invincible God of War.
Of course, Jiang Cheng was not a person who would kill indiscriminately. His target was the Tianxuan General and General Zhao. At this moment, the Tianxuan General was clutching his chest. Blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth and his expression was sinister. He was protected by a few guards and looked extremely pathetic. General Zhao was in the same state.
Suddenly, a ray of dagger light flashed and all the guards beside him fell to the ground.
Where are you going?
Jiang Cheng put away the Slaughtering Flying Dagger and rushed out. His physical strength burst forth as he punched out. The Six Harmonies Fist contained the power of a violent storm and landed on the Mysterious Sky General. The Mysterious Sky General could not dodge at all and died instantly. Next was General Zhao. Jiang Cheng did not waste much time and directly dealt with the problem.
…
At this moment, on the city gate tower, Liu Shanshan was supporting Liu Tianfeng. She looked at the man who was like a god of war and took the head of the enemy general among thousands of soldiers and horses. Her eyes were filled with extraordinary splendor, but after a long while, they dimmed. She held the necklace that Jiang Cheng had given her.
Liu Tian looked at his daughter's expression and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Cheng soon descended from the sky and landed on the city gate. All the Sky City soldiers immediately erupted in cheers and admiration, and they all knelt down in gratitude.
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, signaling them to stand up. Liu Tianfeng walked over and knelt down on one knee. "Brother Jiang, Sky City will forever remember your kindness to us!"
Everyone, you don't have to be like this. I'm just passing by. Jiang Cheng touched his nose in embarrassment.
…
Sky City was a border defense city, and wars broke out all year round. The residents lived in fear every day, afraid that one day the city gate would be breached and they would become prisoners of war. This was the price of war, and they could only take up arms to defend their country.
But now they were no longer worried. Because a man had appeared and killed the enemy's leader, the crisis of Sky City was temporarily resolved. If the enemy wanted to attack Sky City again, they would need at least a year to prepare. During this time, Sky City could rest and prepare for war.
Liu Tianfeng set up a grand banquet to entertain Jiang Cheng. The whole of Sky City was immersed in joy.
But the next day, Jiang Cheng came to the Governor's mansion to bid farewell to Liu Tianfeng. Liu Tianfeng regretfully tried to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Cheng had already made up his mind.
When he left, Liu Shanshan looked at his back with tears in her eyes. She clenched her fists until Jiang Cheng had completely disappeared. Then she turned to Liu Tianfeng and said, "Father, I've decided. I want to apply for the Sky Fortune Academy!"
Liu Tianfeng looked at his daughter in shock. She used to be unwilling to study hard, so why did she suddenly change her mind? Sky Fortune Academy was the largest academy in Xuan Province, and they were very strict in their enrolment. They didn't look at one's background, they only wanted talented students.
Liu Shanshan's eyes were filled with determination as she looked into the distance. She wanted to apply for the Sky Fortune Academy, just to catch up with someone's back.
…
After leaving Sky City, Jiang Cheng's ears were a lot quieter. He wanted to go to Xuan Province's Feng City, the fief of Ghost Mother. Maybe he would be able to find his old companions there.
However, Xuan Province's Feng City was more than three thousand miles away from Sky City. Even with Jiang Cheng's speed, it would still take him about a week to get there. During this time, Jiang Cheng decided to buy an airship in a nearby city.
Yan City was a second-tier city in Xuan Province. Its back was against the Tian Lan River, and it was accessible in all directions. It was one of the trade centers of Xuan Province. Jiang Cheng's footsteps were fast, and he arrived outside Yan City in a day.
It was dusk, and the sun was setting. The towering city walls of Yan City formed a flying wing, like a wild goose spreading its wings. This was how Yan City got its name.
Naturally, there were many people returning to the city at dusk. Whether they were doing business or traveling, they had to enter the city at night to rest. Therefore, there was a long queue at the city gate. Because the Heavenly Frost Empire and the Black Rock Empire were at war, the city gates were strictly guarded to prevent spies from sneaking in. However, the guards charged an entrance fee.
The city gates were naturally divided into different grades. Practitioners could enter the city first, and alchemists didn't even have to pay an entrance fee. This was because alchemists sold all kinds of elixirs, which was what they needed during the war, so they were very popular.
Jia, jia, make way! A roar was accompanied by the neighing of a man and a horse. A red-maned horse galloped along the ancient road from afar.
Quick, open the special gate. It was Huang Xiaotian, Alchemist Huang's horse. Alchemist Huang was a third-stage alchemist, so let him pass first. When the guards saw the horse and its rider, they were shocked and hurriedly opened the gate.
At this moment, a woman was walking in front with her three-year-old child. The child cried that he was hungry and wanted to enter the city. He accidentally broke free from the woman's hand and ran onto the main road.
The fierce horse galloped, not caring about anything else. The man on the horse had a cold expression on his face. He urged the horse to speed up and rushed toward the city gate.
The onlookers were afraid of getting into trouble, so they all took a step back and didn't dare to go forward. However, the three-year-old child was playing on the ground. His mother almost fainted when she saw him.
Young Ke, no!
The onlookers couldn't bear to watch anymore. The rich and powerful now didn't treat the poor and lowly commoners as human beings, especially the noble alchemists. They didn't even care about killing a few people.
Suddenly, the onlookers saw a blur. A figure overtook the fierce horse and rushed to the three-year-old child's side in the blink of an eye. The owner of the red-maned horse didn't seem to hear anything. He only cared about rushing forward, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
Courting death! He didn't care about the life of a commoner. He had killed many people, so he didn't care about one more.
However, in the next moment, he was wrong. The man in front of the fierce horse had already turned around and clenched his fist. His face was filled with anger, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Another person who didn't fear death. Get lost, if you delay my business, I'll deal with you …!
The man in front of the horse was Jiang Cheng. He carried the three-year-old child, clenched his fist, and punched out.
Huang Xiaotian had never thought that he could fly on a horse. Now, he finally experienced it.
Boom! With a loud sound, Huang Xiaotian and his horse were sent flying by the man's punch.
The onlookers immediately went into an uproar. They didn't think that someone would be so daring to hit an alchemist. Moreover, this person was an honored guest of the Mingxuan Court. Although it was satisfying, no one dared to applaud him.
Pu! Huang Xiaotian fell flat on his face. He crawled up in a sorry state. He felt the intense pain coming from his body, and his anger was about to burst out from his eyes.
'Do you know who I am? You dare to hit me? You're dead meat!'
Huang Xiaotian roared. 'What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and arrest him!'
Huang Xiaotian pointed at Jiang Cheng angrily and ordered the city guards to arrest him. The city guards were hesitant. After all, there were so many people watching. They weren't Huang Xiaotian's subordinates. Although they respected alchemists, they didn't have to obey them.
However, the captain of the city guards saw that Jiang Cheng didn't have any background and was dressed in tattered clothes. He didn't think that Jiang Cheng was a powerful person.
'Who are you? How dare you disregard the law and hit someone!'
Jiang Cheng glanced at the captain of the city guards. Seeing that he was bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he said righteously, 'Are you scared? Didn't you see that he was about to knock the child?'
At this moment, the child in Jiang Cheng's arms was crying in fear. The child's mother quickly ran over and hugged the child, thanking Jiang Cheng profusely.
'Alright, hurry up and go home!' Jiang Cheng nodded at the woman.
'Hey, are you deaf? Don't you know that this is Alchemist Huang of the Xuanming Court? You …'
Jiang Cheng grew impatient. He waved his hand and an irresistible burst of spirit energy exploded, grabbing the city guard through the air.
'You … you're a Martial King expert?' The city guard was so scared that his legs almost turned to jelly. Jiang Cheng's spirit energy took form through the air. Only a Martial King could control it. Moreover, the pressure from Jiang Cheng's body made the city guard even more certain that the strong were respected in this world. A Martial King was already at the level of a City Lord. Just like in Yan City, the City Lord was only at the level of a Two-Star Martial King.
'I don't want to repeat myself. Don't bother me!
'Yes, yes, my lord. Enter the city gate this way!' The city guard panicked. He had offended a Martial King expert. The other party had ten thousand ways to kill him.
As for Huang Xiaotian, although he was a Level Three alchemist and had a high status, his strength was only at the level of a Seven-Star Martial Ancestor. He didn't dare to challenge Jiang Cheng at all. He immediately cowered and hid at the side. The imposing manner he had just now was nowhere to be seen.
Huang Xiaotian only heaved a sigh of relief when Jiang Cheng walked through the city gate. He patted his chest and walked through the city gate.
