Chapter 620 - 259: Riding the Dragon Through the Skies, Changing Generals on the Battlefield (Part 3)

Han Xiaoru was initially stunned, and then her face turned completely red. Her speech became somewhat incoherent, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Junior Brother, your safety is more important.

Besides, with the Sun and Moon Ring in your hands, only then can it shine with both sun and moon, unleashing the power akin to burning the sky and boiling the sea.

If I were to use it, it would truly be a waste, unacceptable, really unacceptable."

She waved both of her hands and even took two steps back.

"Take it if I give it to you, why be so bashful? I still have the Jade Cloud Sword here, with a sword in hand, who could possibly harm me? It’s rather you, who perhaps lacks a Dharma Instrument at your side. If something were to happen, having many treasures means nothing."

Chen Ping’s face turned stern; at this moment, he was not a junior brother, but Your Majesty.

His tone was firm and decisive.

Giving the Sun and Moon Ring to Han Xiaoru was naturally with his own considerations.

This time the army moves north, aiming to bid farewell to the Great Li Dynasty, it is imaginable that the journey would definitely be perilous.

Unlike previous minor skirmishes, this time, it’s plainly a war of extinction, it’s the final decisive battle.

The three-hundred-year heritage of the Great Li must be fully brought out.

No one knows, in secret, how much power the Great Li Dynasty can muster.

And Han Xiaoru, as the strongest general under his command, a leading general ahead of others, faces danger moment by moment.

No matter the era, the principle of capturing the king when capturing the bandits, no one would not understand.

Should the opponent have experts wanting to take out this leading general first, crying later would be of no use.

Of course, Chen Ping also thought of having Senior Sister retreat, staying away from leading troops and engaging in battles.

But, it wasn’t quite suitable.

He discovered, Han Xiaoru commands troops and charges forward, her cultivation progresses terrifyingly fast between life and death.

She has no external aids, nor is she an unsurpassed genius, and yet she broke through the first four realms in a short time, passing through the Unity Five Passes, directly reaching the door of the Divine Martial Realm.

Though it includes the influence of her Three Yang Heart-Burning Dao Seed, her natural affinity and cultivation practice are also critical factors.

A rather peculiar way of improving, a battle leads to leveling up.

The more perilous, the tougher the fight, the faster she levels up.

Chen Ping doesn’t know what this constitution is called.

Yet he genuinely doesn’t want to eliminate her opportunities just for her safety.

He could only be careful in watching over her, ensuring she doesn’t end up shattered.

She loves leading charges, and extreme enhancements in life-and-death struggles, let her be.

Han Xiaoru’s head drooped lower, her ears slightly reddening, she raised her head, her face red like a monkey’s bottom, her eyes dared not directly meet Chen Ping’s, and she reached out to take the Golden Red Sun and Moon Ring, "I won’t be in danger, don’t worry."

After speaking, she turned around and vanished instantly.

Chen Ping, for the first time, noticed that this big girl’s body technique had also become much faster.

It seems, after achieving perfection in Essence, Qi, and Spirit, she comprehended some insights about Shenxiao Thunder Control True Understanding.

That step just now, although it couldn’t quite be considered as Little Wind Thunder Escape Technique, yet in its subtlety, it held the electric light’s rapid flash, spanning dozens of feet in an instant.

To call it "Instant Step" wouldn’t be inappropriate.

However, I haven’t finished speaking yet, why blush like a bubble?

Chen Ping watched Han Xiaoru’s fleeing figure, unable to hold back a laugh.

"Such a big person, even shyer than Xiaoyue..."

"Am I really that shy?"

Ji Mingyue silently stepped beside Chen Ping, looking at him with curiosity.

Her Light Body Technique, "Star River Reflection," was even more nimble and enigmatic than Han Xiaoru’s body technique.

Truly deserving of the title of someone with extraordinary enlightenment.

Not seen for a while, she could comprehend many outstanding techniques.

"Ahem, Xiaoyue, just thinking earlier, you’re controlling the Celestial Heart Pavilion, scouting enemy intel, venturing into the tiger’s den, it’s even more dangerous than Senior Sister, utmost caution is needed."

Chen Ping extended his hand.

Ji Mingyue, used to their interactions, naturally understood Chen Ping’s intent, removed the "Celestial Observation Mirror" from her waist, and handed it over.

This treasure mirror, when not in use, was like a small pendant resembling a key, hanging at the waist beautifully, not overly conspicuous.

Generally, when others saw it, they’d only think it’s a small trinket belonging to a wealthy son or daughter, without too much vigilance.

But once infused with Divine Sense and driven by True Essence Magical Power, the treasure mirror immediately enlarges, illuminating the heavens and earth, observing people and objects, infinitely versatile and wondrous.

Of course, Ji Mingyue hasn’t yet broken through the Divine Martial Realm, her True Qi hasn’t entirely transformed into True Essence Magical Power.

Solely driven by Divine Sense, wielding the treasure mirror would be somewhat strenuous.

No matter what, she still can use it, encountering experts and activating the spiritual artifact mirror, she can block one or two strikes from a Mid-Stage Divine Martial Realm.

This is the inherent function of the treasure for protection, not extraordinarily rare.

However, Chen Ping felt compared to Han Xiaoru wielding the Sun and Moon Essence Ring; should she face formidable opponents, her attack power was still rather weak.

Below Divine Martial, she could undoubtedly deal decisive blows, using the Sword Control Technique to slay the opponent. But facing Divine Martial Realm, it would be problematic.

Chen Ping turned his fingers into a sword, with Dragon Essence surging within, a rainbow light suddenly brightened, diving into the mirror’s surface.

He pondered for a moment, still unsettled, then focused, a faint vertical pupil image appearing between his brows, from which a seven-colored light shot, reflecting into the mirror.

The Celestial Observation Treasure Mirror trembled slightly, seeming a bit overwhelmed.

Chen Ping shook his head and could only withdraw his hand, "Alright, within the mirror is stored my two strongest attacks, although only retaining eighty percent of my current cultivation’s power, generally even a Mid-Stage Divine Martial Realm couldn’t withstand them, take it to protect yourself."

Ji Mingyue didn’t quibble with him, her eyes curved, a smile forming dimples at her mouth,"Seventh Brother, you’re really good."

She was well aware of Chen Ping’s signature attack techniques.

Rainbow light, naturally the Sword Qi Rainbow Transformation, unmatched in penetration, primarily fast to the extreme, truly hard to defend against when Divine Sense triggers an attack reflection within the mirror, locking onto the opponent.

And that seven-colored brilliance, upon merely seeing it, stirred soul tremors, as though meeting a natural enemy, horror emerged in the depths of the soul.

No need to inquire, it was a soul attack.

That day, she witnessed, the Seventh Brother’s soul attack made Situ Yun, of Divine Martial Sixth Layer, confused in judgment, and subsequently beheaded with a sword.

It’s imaginable how insidious this attack was, and its potency.

...

In the eighteenth year of Yuanzhen, on the eleventh day of the winter month.

The sky cleared, suitable for ancestor worship, suitable for travel.

King Ping’s army, forty thousand strong, marched from Liiyang straight towards Fengling Pass.

The mighty Pass lay before them, scouts had already dispersed, a faint scent of blood carried by the wind.

Amidst the thunderous hooves, Chen Ping slowed his pace, spotting shifting forms like smoke ahead swiftly arriving by his side.

Ji Mingyue’s face appeared slightly unwell, with a bit of grime on her face, streaks of blood clung to her body.

Evidently, she had just experienced several battles.

"Seventh Brother, the road ahead is blocked, north of Juelong Valley all Celestial Heart Pavilion spies have perished. The last intelligence from Fengling Pass reported the defending general has been replaced..."
