Chapter Forty-Four: Exhausted to Death

  "Since you've come for the sake of our family's music, I'll play a piece for you then." Qing Xianzi said as she slowly began to play.

  Lu Yu Feng finally knew why only those waiting to board the ship could hear the sound of the qin, but not those on the riverbank. It was because the clear and elegant music of the fairy only enveloped this large ship, and the sound had not spread out at all.

  A crisp and clear sound of the guqin broke the silence inside the boat, then the sound of Qingxianzi's guqin slowly spread throughout the boat. The melody was extremely relaxing, like a small stream flowing slowly through the woods, and Lu Yufeng and others became the small fish in the stream, swimming slowly. Lu Yufeng slowly immersed himself in the atmosphere created by Qingxianzi's music.

  Suddenly, Qingxianzi's piano sound changed abruptly, and a burst of golden armor and iron horse sounds entered the ears of Luyu Feng and two others. Luyu Feng opened his eyes to find himself in the midst of a battlefield, with soldiers from both sides preparing for battle. Luyu Feng estimated that there were about one million soldiers on each side. And he was standing right in the center of the battlefield. Luyu Feng quickly turned his true yuan, ready to fly away from the battlefield, but suddenly discovered that his body was empty and devoid of any true yuan fluctuations, causing a shock in his heart.

  "It seems I've entered some sort of illusion." Lu Yufeng suddenly understood his current state.

  "However, this is a good place to hone group combat skills." In such a situation, Lu Yufeng reacted instantly, drew his long knife and charged towards the soldiers of one side. Under these circumstances, the best choice was to choose one side as an enemy and the other as a friend. Lu Yufeng would never give up any opportunity that could help him improve himself.

  "It seems that the clear and elegant sound of this fairy's zither indeed has a stabilizing effect on one's mind. First, with light and easy music, she makes us immerse ourselves in the atmosphere she creates, then leads us into this environment, where amidst the chaos of 100,000 soldiers clashing, we become ordinary people without any true essence. Under such psychological impact, if one can quickly adjust their state, they will definitely be able to stabilize their mind. However, this illusion is useless against me, for I possess a physical body that far surpasses that of an average cultivator!" Lu Yuefeng had already charged to the front of a group of soldiers, and with a single slash of his knife, he sent one soldier flying, then followed up with a horizontal sweep, sending several more soldiers to their deaths.

  Moreover, Lu Yufeng was a transmigrator, and most importantly, before his transmigration, he was already a soldier. For such a battlefield, it was all too familiar to him. Upon hearing the thunderous clashes between both sides, Lu Yufeng seemed to have instantly returned to those days of gunfire and rain of bullets, with the hot blood in his body being ignited in an instant!

  Lu Yu Feng charged forward all along, and didn't know how many soldiers he had killed.

  Gradually, Lu Yufeng felt extremely tired. He had no idea how long he had been charging forward; anyway, everything from head to toe was now red. When the soldiers on his side charged out and created an opening, Lu Yufeng stuck his knife into the ground with one hand, then tore off a piece of cloth from his sleeve with both hands. With his right hand, he picked up the knife again and wrapped it and his hand together with the cloth. He then charged forward once more. This time, Lu Yufeng was ready to use his combat skills. It's worth noting that the Overlord's Slash could be performed even without true energy; it would just have much less power. However, against these soldiers, it was still easy as pie.

  Lu Yu's sword struck the enemy camp, and with a single slash, it split one of the soldiers into two halves.

  "It seems that in a group battle, the killing effect of splitting the sky with force is not ideal at all." Lu Yufeng turned around and swung his sword again, overturning the river and turning it upside down.

  This time the effect was much better, and the soldier was not cut off at the waist by Lu Yufeng, but was chopped back and flew backwards. The continuous knife momentum of flipping over and overturning the sea directly shook to death the soldiers who were hit by him, including the one he collided with. Seeing the excellent effect, Lu Yufeng made several consecutive knives, chopping out the waves and overturning the sea, and suddenly there was no one around Lu Yufeng. He had to charge towards the remaining enemy soldiers, and as soon as he reached the front of the enemy soldiers, he chopped out a knife that flipped over and overturned the sea.

  Lu Yu Feng once again chopped out several knives, feeling his physical body aching vaguely, apparently his body had already reached the brink of rupture. As long as Lu Yu Feng chopped out a few more knives, he believed his body would split open, or even directly explode.

  But Lu Yufeng did not stop there, and instead continued to slash out several knives, overturning the river and turning it upside down. Although he killed many soldiers, Lu Yufeng had already felt that his physical body had reached its limit. The bursting wounds all over his body were still oozing with fresh blood, and the green spiritual energy's repair of his flesh was far from keeping up with the damage inflicted by the Dominating Sword Slash.

  Lu Yu Feng was already unable to stand firm, and had no choice but to lean on the ground with his sword. The bodies of the dead surrounded Lu Yu Feng, and he alone stood there. Before long, even more soldiers closed in, and Lu Yu Feng was already unable to move, and could only watch as the soldiers' spears pierced his own body.

  A piercing pain suddenly attacked Lu Yufeng, and he gritted his teeth, the long knife in his hand slashing out again. The soldiers surrounding him had their heads chopped off by Lu Yufeng, blood gushing out.

  Lü Yu felt his consciousness slowly disappearing, and then the scene in front of him changed again, returning to the flower boat. What was presented before him was still a purple gauze.

  Lu Yu Feng then directly sat down softly on the chair, unable to sit up straight because his body felt a wave of soreness. Next, Lu Yu Feng circulated his true yuan and gathered green spiritual energy to merge into his body. Lu Yu Feng felt his body transmit a wave of suction, and he felt his true yuan merging into his flesh at an extremely fierce speed. Lu Yu Feng revealed a faint smile because he felt that his flesh had become even more resilient after expelling the soreness. This time, Lu Yu Feng felt that his flesh was completely different from before, with a difference in quality.

  "With my current physical strength, I should be able to withstand a cultivator of the Huayuan Boundary, right?" Lu Yufeng was overjoyed.

  Yes, now Lu Yu Feng, relying solely on his physical body, can withstand the transformation of Yuan Jing. Of course, it's only a relatively weak Yuan Jing cultivator. This time in the fantasy realm battle, it stimulated the potential of Lu Yu Feng's physical body, that sour feeling is the reaction of Lu Yu Feng's physical body advancing, just like when a cultivator advances their cultivation, they need to absorb a lot of spiritual energy.

  Not only that, but Lu Yu Feng also found that his realm was thoroughly stabilized in the middle of Huayuan. Since Lu Yu Feng had just broken through to the middle of Huayuan not long ago, it was still a bit unstable, but now, Lu Yu Feng's realm was thoroughly stabilized.

  "Thank you, Qingxianzi!" Lu Yufeng immediately stood up and turned around to bow to Qingxianzi with his hands clasped together, expressing his gratitude.

  "Gentleman, you're being polite. Since you've already woken up, please get off the boat. I need to rest." Upon hearing Qing Xianzi's words, Lu Yufeng only then discovered that the sky had already brightened, and also found that this Qing Xianzi's complexion was extremely pale, looking as if his true yuan had been depleted.

  "Since Qing Xianzi is going to rest, I'll take my leave." Lu Yufeng bowed again and then prepared to turn around and exit the boat.

  "Slow down, young master. If you have time, please come to Qingjia Bieyuan in the city tonight for a gathering." Qing Xianzi didn't wait for Lu Yufeng's response and turned around to enter the inner cabin of the boat.

  "It seems like we'll have to stay for another day!" Lu Yufeng shook his head and exited the flower boat, seeing that it was still moored in the middle of the Wuching River. He circulated his true yuan and leapt onto the shore, but found that there wasn't a single person around him. It seemed that those ordinary people had given up on boarding the boat and left, unlike the lively scene from last night.

  "Miss, why did you invite him to the other courtyard?" The maid asked with a puzzled face, knowing that Miss had never invited anyone to Qingjia's other courtyard, let alone a man.

  "I don't know why, but I always have a kind of intimate feeling towards him. Alright, let's go back."
