Chapter 45

n

n

n

nThis year, He Chuan was 18 years old.

n

nHe had overthrown the dynasty that ruled this era.

n

nThere was no need for any propaganda.

n

nNight Slayer’s fame had reached its peak in a very short period of time!

n

nLegends about him circulated among the people.

n

nIt was said that Night Slayer was the son of heaven and knew immortal spells, shouldering the heavy responsibility of saving the people of the world.

n

nIn any case, he had to be as great as possible.

n

nAnd the outcome of the battle in the capital also gave many ambitious people a chance.

n

nNow, the top few experts on the dynasty’s martial artist list had died in Night Slayer’s hands. Their internal strength was dispersed, and they were already paper tigers that were strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

n

nFor a time, the flames of war rose everywhere, and the flags of the Resistance Army were raised in many areas.

n

nIn the name of saving the people of the world, they launched an attack on the local imperial court army.

n

nIn reality, they just wanted a share of the pie during this period of imperial decline.

n

nUnfortunately, things did not go as planned.

n

nHe Chuan, as the first person in the world to stand up against the imperial court and single-handedly massacre the imperial capital, was already the target of everyone’s expectations.

n

nThe common people only recognized one leader of the Resistance Army — Night Slayer!

n

nThey ignored everyone else!

n

nAnd those ambitious people had no choice.

n

nThey had originally used the name of the Resistance Army to stir up trouble. If they provoked this group of common people and made a big deal out of it, they might even be targeted by Night Slayer.

n

nAt that time, the gains would not make up for the losses.

n

nNo one wanted to provoke a terrifying expert who could slaughter warriors.

n

nIn the end, what this group of ambitious people did was actually do all the toil for He Chuan to reap all the benefits.

n

nThey helped him clean up the local imperial court troops.

n

nA month after the Great War in the imperial capital, the various parts of the dynasty had already declared their recovery and were no longer under the imperial court’s control.

n

nThe only areas where the imperial court troops were still active were the areas outside Qingyuan County.

n

nThere were a million border troops gathered there.

n

nAll of them were first-class elites.

n

nNone of the ambitious people dared to fight this group of regular troops.

n

nOnly He Chuan’s resistance army spread out their formation here.

n

nUsing the terrain that was easy to defend but hard to attack, they continued to fight.

n

nEven so, they still lost over 200 thousand soldiers.

n

nThe resistance army was greatly weakened and ran out of ammunition and food.

n

nIf there were no more variables, the remaining 200 thousand of them would probably die on this battlefield.

n

nJust as the imperial court army was about to take down the resistance army in one go…

n

nHe Chuan had returned.

n

n“Everyone stop.”

n

nHe stood at the top of the canyon and looked down at the battlefield. He said calmly, “There is no point in fighting anymore.”

n

nThe leaders of the east, west, and south divisions shouted and attacked at the same time.

n

n“Traitor, hand over your life!”

n

n“Take my mountain-shaking fist!”

n

n“What’s the point? The clash of weapons is what’s the point!”

n

nThese three people were all first-rate martial artists. If placed in the pugilistic world, they would all be top-notch experts.

n

nIn the end, they were all pushed back by He Chuan’s palm across space.

n

n“I don’t want to kill anymore. The Emperor is already dead. You all have no reason to continue fighting.”

n

nHow could these generals believe it?

n

n“Hmph, the emperor is the number one martial artist in the world. You brat, you are still wet behind the ears. How dare you talk nonsense here!”

n

n“Night Slayer! Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you have a few tricks up your sleeve! Let me tell you, if we work together, even if a heaven man unity realm martial artist comes, we can still kill him here!”

n

n“You hid your head for so long and only dared to show your face. Don’t even think about leaving today!”

n

n“If you don’t believe me, you can go and verify it yourself.” He Chuan was expressionless, “Soldiers, retreat!”

n

nThe Resistance Army did not hesitate to retreat from the battlefield. They did not have any lingering feelings.

n

nThe imperial court army still wanted to give chase, but He Chuan immediately stepped into the air and slashed horizontally with his Buddhist monk knife!

n

nA terrifying might emerged from the knife.

n

nRumble!

n

nThe earth trembled, and the sky collapsed and the earth cracked!

n

nEveryone did not know what had happened, and they hurriedly dodged the huge rocks that had fallen from above.

n

nWhen everything was settled, they shockingly discovered that a deep ravine had appeared in the ravine from above.

n

nIt cut off their path.

n

nEveryone was stunned.

n

nThis was caused by Night Slayer?

n

nAre you kidding?

n

nAre you sure this was done by a human?

n

nThese people had not seen He Chuan’s power, so they could not react for a long time.

n

nHe Chuan had already left and returned to Qingyuan County to recuperate.

n

nA few days later.

n

nThe imperial court military sent out a few waves of flying pigeons and sent them to the capital to confirm if what He Chuan said was true.

n

nHowever, the imperial court was in chaos.

n

nThe factions were killing each other and fighting for the right to inherit the throne.

n

nThey did not have the time to care about this.

n

nIt was only a few months later when the external Resistance Army grew stronger and stronger and threatened the position of this group of people that they finally stopped.

n

nAfter a few joint discussions, the leaders decided to temporarily ally, put down their conflicts, and work together to resolve the external problems.

n

nThe first thing they wanted to do was to take back the three armies of the east, west, and south to defend the imperial capital.

n

nThus, they sent people to reply.

n

nA few days later, the leaders of the armies who had been waiting for a long time finally received an answer.

n

nThey picked up the letter and looked at it!

n

nThe emperor had indeed passed away.

n

nMoreover, he had died at the hands of Night Slayer.

n

nThey were immediately stunned.

n

nNo wonder they had not seen the shadow of Night Slayer after dozens of battles. It turned out that he had gone to the capital stealthily!

n

nLooking at the contents of the letter, the three generals cursed loudly.

n

nDefend the imperial capital?

n

nWasn’t that courting death!?

n

nThose who could become the commander-in-chief were naturally not stupid.

n

nThey knew clearly what these people were planning!

n

nThey were just borrowing their military power to protect themselves.

n

nWhen the time came, they would be the ones risking their lives, and they would be the ones enjoying the glory and wealth.

n

nWho knows, they might even lose their military power and put on a show of dying on the streets that night!

n

nThey were not going!

n

nThey were determined not to go back!

n

nIf they went back, they would have to fight with the Resistance Army!

n

nFight like a chicken!

n

nDidn’t you see that the commander was as fierce as a knife?

n

nNow the Prime Minister of the cabinet was gone.

n

nSo was the head of the imperial administration.

n

nEven the F**king King Emperor was gone!

n

nThe situation was over, so what was there to fight about?

n

nIt was better to surrender!

n

nGo back to your hometown and live a few years of peace!

n

nThus, they directly ignored the requests of those people in the capital when they had reached a consensus.

n

nThat night, the Generals went to Qingyuan County to surrender.

n

nThe next morning.

n

nWhen the soldiers saw that the generals were gone and the captain had run off, they all panicked!

n

nWhen they learned that they had surrendered to the Resistance Army, they did not care that they were still wearing the clothes of the imperial court army.

n

nThey directly stopped!

n

nSigh, I’m not fighting anymore!

n

nI surrender too!

n

nThe scene of millions of people surrendering was truly spectacular.

n

nSuch an outcome was something even He Chuan had not expected.

n

nHe originally thought that taking back the territory and army would be a time-consuming matter, but he did not expect it to be so simple!

n

nWith that, expanding the territory became a matter of course.

n

nVery quickly, the Resistance Army regained back the Qingyuan County and started to expand rapidly.

n

nWithin a few days, they had regained the territory they had before being surrounded by the three armies.

n

nFurthermore, their territory was still growing!

n

nWhen many people heard that Night Slayer had personally reclaimed the territory, they opened the city gates to welcome him.

n

nThey were really happy.

n

nThe unlucky ones were the ambitious ones.

n

nThey did not get anything and have worked for nothing.
