Chapter 1795: Chapter 1795: Battle
The over three hundred trusted aides erupted instantly, like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable and full of momentum, catching the Border Army completely off guard.
The Border Army had never considered these people in front of them a threat, as they were the Ancestor Dragon Border Army, and the others were likely just a private guard from a family. Would they dare to make a move?
Despite the lack of presence of the Ancestor Dragon Army in the Ancestor Dragon City in normal times, attacking them would be an act of treason. Anyone who dared to attack would be beheaded.
Thus, they did not regard the several hundred people behind Li Feng as a threat, assuming they wouldn’t dare to engage in a major confrontation.
In fact, things did not unfold as they had anticipated.
These private guards retaliated, and with ruthless force, toppling the front row to the ground instantly.
"Rebellion! Kill them for me!"
A Colonel standing behind witnessed his men getting taken down like wheat being harvested, his reputation hanging in the balance. He immediately let out a loud roar, drew the sword from his waist, and charged forward. With a swing, his blade unleashed a slicing sword energy, cold and piercing.
"Your opponent is me."
Seeing the sword energy coming for him, Lei Ba leapt into the air, raising his fist to strike toward the oncoming sword energy. In an instant, the fist collided with the sword energy, creating a sound like metal clashing against stone, with the sword energy shattering on impact.
Lei Ba’s momentum did not diminish. He directly leapt in front of the Colonel, his fist striking like thunder, causing the air to shatter like glass.
This was Lei Ba’s Sky Splitting Fist.
A punch technique that pushes domination and power to their limits. When the power reaches an apex, it creates a supersonic punch, and the air, no longer transparent, forms a wall of force.
As this punch landed, it was as if it had hit a wall of air. Instantly, the air cracked like an earthquake. With these fissures, it seemed as though the surrounding air was drawn by a powerful force, forming waves like those of a tidal wave.
The Colonel in front was directly absorbed by this forceful fist power, unable to remain calm, a thought of unbeatable threat surfacing in his mind.
He raised his sword to block, but Lei Ba’s punch, determined as a domineering dragon, smashed down on the blade.
Years of wielding this spiritual weapon warblade came to an end as it shattered upon impact. Unable to withstand this force, the Colonel was knocked back and sent flying.
At this moment, Lei Ba’s fighting spirit was fierce, knowing that his Golden Core was honed in the Duel Arena, a place of life and death, forged through killing. Thus, his combat cunning and aura far exceeded those of ordinary Golden Cores.
In the past, although bound by a contract with Li Feng, it was merely a deal. Lei Ba would not exert himself unless it was a matter of life and death.
But now, it was different. Li Feng had given him a chance to change his life, and Lei Ba understood all too well the future of those born in the Duel Arena.
Even as Golden Cores, they were destined to become lackeys for those powerful families, or if unwilling to submit, become loose cultivators, taking on shady missions to earn a living.
Both paths led to a dead end. To aspire to cross class boundaries was unthinkable. They wouldn’t be accepted by even the lower families, let alone the royal households.
Becoming Li Feng’s trusted aide effectively altered their background, as not just anyone could join the Ancestor Dragon Army.
Moreover, joining the army was the fastest way to change class. Achieving military merit would lead to promotion, much more reliable than trying to climb the ranks through the Heaven Tower.
Getting through the Heaven Tower was reserved for geniuses. Those from the Lower Three Rings, despite good talent, lacked background, cultivation resources, and techniques. It was nearly impossible to enhance their strength quickly.
Hence, enlisting in the army and gaining military merit was the best path. Many of the powerful families today rose from the last great war. Although peaceful times offered few opportunities for merit, routes still existed.
So, Lei Ba cherished this godsend opportunity, especially since Li Feng did not yield under pressure, matching his own temperament perfectly.
Meanwhile, in another direction, a woman in a tight-fitting outfit moved like a shadow through the crowd, taking advantage of the chaos in the battle formation.
She didn’t waste time on the Border Army soldiers, targeting the Colonel in this direction straight away.
This Colonel was skilled with a spear and also came from Nine Layers Mountain, with strength surpassing the Golden Core level. Generally, in the Border Army, any officer above Colonel had to at least meet the Golden Core threshold, as no position could be granted without it.
The Colonel watched the battle with a serious face, brows furrowed. Who was this Li Feng, daring to challenge the Border Army? Had he lost his mind?
Attacking the Border Army was a serious crime.
The surname Li, could he be from the Eight Royal Families’ Li Family? But if he were part of the royal household, how could the Camp Captain dare to attack?
The Colonel was unsure about the situation, appearing hesitant.
At that moment, a chill suddenly crept up his spine, a sense of danger arising. Instantly reacting without words, he activated a Golden Body protective technique, expelling force from all sides, a retreat skill from the Golden Body Technique.
The Colonel’s Golden Body repelled the attack, and he swiftly maneuvered his battle spear, performing a sweeping movement.
However, Jing, like a phantom, clung to the Colonel’s shadow, whispering in his ear, "Are you looking for me?"
The Colonel’s body hair stood on end, unfazed by the siren-like voice, "Get away."
The Colonel attempted the Golden Body technique again to repel.
"Hehe, you can’t push me away. I am your shadow."
Cold sweat ran down the Colonel’s back, as he faced such a challenging opponent for the first time, despite her being a woman.
He sensed her presence behind him but couldn’t shake her off. She clung to his shadow like a maggot clinging to a bone.
"Get out!"
In a frenzy, the Colonel exhausted all his moves but couldn’t rid himself of her.
"Tch, boring."
"Shadow Binding."
Jing did not continue the game, instead directly controlling the Colonel’s shadow. Once the shadow was under her control, the Colonel felt his body losing control.
He initially resisted, but Jing appeared behind him, tapping several times on his back. Instantly, the Colonel’s resistance vanished. Although his mind remained clear, his body had become Jing’s puppet.
The next moment, the Colonel, raising his spear, turned and attacked his own men from behind.
