In front of the excited eyes of the people of Jiang City, the densely packed Black Cavalry riding on the tall Ghost Horses came crashing over. The entire ground rumbled and trembled.
"It's the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry of the Imperial City, the Sword Emperor is here to save us."
It was unknown who said it first, but then, loud cheers rang out. Hope rose in the hearts of all the people who were in despair.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Chen took the lead and rushed to the front. In front of him, there was only a tall Giant Tiger blocking his way. This Giant Tiger was a demon beast above the Earth Rank. At this moment, there were more than ten warriors leading it. Beside the Giant Tiger, there were already many casualties.
"Evil beast."
Long Chen rode on the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry and flew past the Giant Tiger. When he was close to the Giant Tiger, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand. Of course, it was just an ordinary sword, but to everyone's surprise, with this ordinary sword, Long Chen swung it and actually chopped off the Giant Tiger's head that was more than half a meter in diameter.
With a swoosh, the Giant Tiger's head flew up to the sky. At this moment, the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry was like a sharp knife, directly piercing into the group of demon beasts, like wolves entering a flock of sheep. In an instant, the demon beasts that were a great threat to the warriors of Jiang City were like radishes and cabbages in front of the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry, they were easily killed.
In a very short time, the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry created a bloody path in the air.
With Long Chen leading the way, they killed their way to the gate of Jiang City. Then, he suddenly turned his horse around. At this moment, he was holding a halberd in his hand. Along the way, he had killed at least a dozen demon beasts. It was very dazzling, attracting everyone's attention. The Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry also consciously took him as their leader.
"Send His Highness to the city, the rest of you, follow me."
This was just a small matter. As the leader, Lin Batian only needed to give orders. If anything were to happen, it would be a huge problem. Long Chen was just putting on an act to do his part. At the same time, the Demonic Beasts in Jiang City were harming people. Towards these beasts, Long Chen wanted to do something for the innocent civilians.
Lin Batian was very satisfied with Long Chen's performance. He was escorted by a few generals to the city gate, where the big shots of Jiang City were already waiting. Long Chen continued to lead the other 3000 Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry, sweeping through the crowd of demonic beasts.
"Xiao Xi, ever since I was young, I've had the dream of being a general and galloping on the battlefield. This trip to Jiang City has somewhat fulfilled my dream."
Long Chen chuckled. The halberd in his hand danced rapidly. Basically, every time he attacked, he would take the life of a demonic beast. More and more warriors were saved by Long Chen. They all looked at Long Chen with grateful eyes.
"Chen, why hasn't Lin Zichen appeared yet?" Lingxi asked curiously as she looked around.
"The leader of the demonic beasts hasn't appeared yet. I don't think he will appear." Long Chen understood Lin Zichen's character, so everything was under his control.
While Long Chen was killing the enemies to his heart's content, the big shots of Jiang City had already welcomed the Eldest Prince into Jiang City. They were watching from the city gate tower. At this moment, the City Lord of Jiang City looked in Long Chen's direction with admiration and said, "Your Highness, this young general is really powerful. That demonic beast was at least Earth Rank Two, but he killed it so easily."
"Eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier, what do you think?"
Lin Batian smiled proudly. Long Chen had really made him proud. If this continued, how could Lin Zichen's battle achievements be greater than Lin Batian's?
"Eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier."
The people of Jiang City were already stunned. To them, someone who was not even 30 years old had actually reached the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. This was completely beyond their imagination. One had to know that the most heaven-defying prodigy in Jiang City had only just reached the first level of the Heavenly River Tier.
Among the Ghost Stallion Heavy Cavalry, there were many who were below the age of 30, but they were basically all Heavenly River Tier cultivators. The difference between the Imperial City and the border city could be clearly seen here.
The people of Jiang City were shocked. Even Long Chen was at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier. The Eldest Prince must be even more unfathomable. There should be hope in dealing with the leader of the demonic beasts.
Under Long Chen's slaughter, the demonic beasts either died or escaped. Jiang City, which was originally on the verge of being breached, was now completely unscathed. The surrounding martial artists burst into cheers. Of course, the cheers were for Long Chen. Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Long Chen led the Ghost Stallion Heavy Cavalry back to Jiang City. Soon, he was summoned by Lin Batian.
"Well done." Lin Batian praised.
"There was only one Earth Rank Demonic Beast. These demonic beasts were really weak." Long Chen smiled.
Hearing this, the other big shots of Jiang City all laughed dryly.
"These demonic beasts are just a small wave. The strongest among the demonic beasts have not appeared yet. I heard that a martial artist at the seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier from the Imperial City went to deal with the leader of the demonic beast. However, he was easily killed. Beside the leader of the demonic beast, there were a few strong demonic beasts …" The City Lord of Jiang City quickly explained to Long Chen and the others.
'Even a martial artist at the seventh level of the Heavenly River Tier was killed. It seems that he is indeed strong. At least, he is much stronger than these demonic beasts.' Long Chen thought to himself.
"Don't be afraid. The leader of the demonic beasts is here. We still have three martial artists at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier here. Do you think we can't defeat a beast?" Lin Batian patted the shoulder of the City Lord of Jiang City and laughed heartily.
The City Lord of Jiang City could only laugh dryly. He looked worriedly at the battlefield below and said, "Today, you guys defeated the demonic beasts and caused them to suffer heavy casualties. I think it won't be long before the leader of the demonic beasts leads the strongest demonic beasts here. This is how Yang City was destroyed by the demonic beasts in the past …"
"It won't be long before it arrives?" Long Chen and Lin Batian looked at each other and laughed.
Under the warm welcome of the City Lord of Jiang City, the day passed quickly. On the second day, when the sun had just risen, there was a sudden commotion outside. There was a hint of panic in the commotion. Long Chen knew that the leader of the demonic beasts had arrived. Yesterday, its soldiers were bullied here, so it was here to take revenge.
Walking out, Long Chen followed Lin Batian, who had a solemn expression on his face. Soon, they arrived at the top of the city gate. Looking up, there was a huge demonic beast in front of them. Among the demonic beasts, there was a huge demonic beast that was especially eye-catching.
"The Darkmoon Tiger is indeed a demonic beast at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier."
Long Chen looked at the demonic beast carefully. This Darkmoon Tiger was much larger than Xiao Lang. Its entire body was black, and it had sharp claws. Its eyes were deep and cold, and it had a huge demonic power. It was similar to the Nine Heavenly Fire Beast that Long Chen had encountered in Ni Yang's Immortal's Realm.
Even the Darkmoon Tiger had appeared. Long Chen knew that Lin Zichen was probably going to appear soon, so there was no need for him to continue pretending.
At this moment, he, Lin Batian, the eight generals, the City Lord of Jiang City, and the others stood at the highest point of the city gate, facing the huge Darkmoon Tiger. Seeing this demonic beast, the City Lord of Jiang City and the others trembled all over. They looked at Long Chen and the others anxiously, and said, "Your Highness, can your people … deal with this demonic beast?"
Lin Batian did not have much confidence. He turned around and asked Long Chen, "Can you and two cultivators at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier handle it? Yang Qing, take advantage of the fact that Lin Zichen hasn't arrived yet. If you can, kill this Darkmoon Tiger as soon as possible. As long as you kill it, the position of the Crown Prince will be mine."
"Don't worry, the Darkmoon Tiger is nothing to me. However, the Lin Zichen you mentioned, he has already arrived …" Long Chen's Spirit Devouring Demonic Eyes allowed him to completely detect Lin Zichen's approach. He guessed that Lin Zichen had already arrived at Jiang City, and he was just waiting for the Darkmoon Tiger to appear.
"What, Lin Zichen has already arrived?"
Lin Batian jumped in fright. He hurriedly looked outside. Indeed, on the leftmost side, a man had appeared. His face was filled with arrogance as he charged in the direction of the Darkmoon Tiger. His speed was so fast that ordinary people would not be able to see his figure with the naked eye.
"Brother Yang, hurry up and stop him. It's best if you can kill the Darkmoon Tiger before Lin Zichen does. Qian Jiang, Qian He, the two of you cooperate with Long Chen and kill the Darkmoon Tiger before Lin Zichen does. The rest of you, lead the Ghost Horse Heavy Cavalry and try to kill as many Demonic Beasts as possible.
"Yes."
The eight generals hurriedly agreed. Then, the other six generals hurriedly moved out. The two commanders at the eighth level of the Heavenly River Tier looked at Long Chen provocatively. Then, they hurriedly obeyed the order and took the lead, charging crazily towards the Darkmoon Tiger.
Meanwhile, Long Chen glanced lazily at Lin Batian, but did not move.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" At this critical moment, Long Chen actually went crazy. This caused Lin Batian to be stunned, and he hurriedly shouted.
"You dare to shout at me?"
What puzzled Lin Batian was that at this moment, not only did Long Chen not listen to his orders, but he also seemed to be looking at Lin Batian with a disdainful expression. What was going on?
Bang.
Lin Batian was punched by Long Chen, and he fell to the ground in pain, wailing in pain.
This time, not only was Lin Batian's mind blank, but the others also could not react at all. They all stared blankly at Long Chen and Lin Batian, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, Long Chen's foot had already stepped on Lin Batian's face. He exerted a little force, and Lin Batian instantly screamed in pain.
"Yang Qing, what's wrong with you? You're courting death, how dare you hit me?" Lin Batian's eyes revealed a fierce glint.
"So what if I hit you? I can still kill you."
Long Chen exerted even more force, causing Lin Batian to be completely unable to get up. He rubbed Lin Batian's face a few times, until the skin on Lin Batian's face was broken.
"These days, you seem to have given me many orders. Now, I'll return them to you. Lin Batian, I'll let you watch a good show."
