Chapter Sixty-Four: Rescuing
"My lord, I will go ahead first."
Chang Long, eager to save his master, rushed out without waiting for Lin Feng's approval. Lin Feng acted swiftly, forcefully restraining Chang Long.
"Stop," Lin Feng commanded, allowing Chang Long to calm down a bit before continuing, "Charging in like that is just asking for death. We need to think this through."
"But my lord, they are already in dire straits," Chang Long said, his heart burning with anxiety.
"The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers won't kill them that quickly."
After saying this, Lin Feng's mind raced as he formulated a plan. Within moments, his eyes lit up. "Do you want to save your master?"
"Of course! I beg you to save Sima."
"Then you must listen to me and follow my orders."
"Understood."
Lin Feng began to strategize. "Wait for me; I will charge in alone. Everyone else, including you, Chang Long, must stay put. Once I make my move, you will command everyone to scatter as much as possible. Then hide and remain still."
"You will only reveal yourselves when the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers are in disarray. But remember, it should be a feigned attack while shouting, 'One thousand Border Troops reinforcements have arrived!'"
"Chang Long, you will stay here to coordinate. Do you understand?"
"Yes, my lord." Chang Long's gaze remained fixed on the battlefield where the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers were stationed.
“Chang Long, whether we can rescue Sima depends on how well you direct this performance,” Lin Feng hinted at the importance of their deployment.
Chang Long replied seriously, “Rest assured, my lord. I await your signal.”
“Very good. Brothers, today’s battlefield situation is not as favorable as it will be in the future Battle. If we achieve victory today and drive away the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers, we will enter the battlefield tomorrow with unmatched momentum.”
“Brothers, are you afraid?”
“No!” The Armored Soldiers responded in a low voice, but their eyes were filled with determination.
“Excellent. The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers are nothing to fear. Watch me strike them down decisively.”
With that, Lin Feng charged forward. Under the moonlight, he appeared as a silver streak cutting through the night Void. His speed was astonishing.
This time, Lin Feng did not dare to be careless; he gripped the Moon City Sword and plunged into the midst of hundreds of Demon Clan Armored Soldiers.
“Report, my lord. One thousand Border Troops and Armored Soldiers are on their way!”
As Lin Feng shouted, he surged into the ranks of the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers. Using his sword like a blade, he struck down swiftly; those who could not evade in time had their heads severed, blood splattering everywhere. With a twist of his right hand, he swung his sword at another demon's arm. The Moon City Sword was razor-sharp and unstoppable; the arm of that Demon Clan Armored Soldier fell away with a scream of agony. Lin Feng then charged toward a nearby Armored Soldier, sending five of them flying and causing them to spit blood.
The rear ranks of the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers were caught off guard and quickly adjusted their formation. One hundred Demon Clan Armored Soldiers continued to surround Sima Shangshan and his companions, while another two hundred faced Lin Feng.
The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers wore black Low-Level Mystic Armor that glimmered ominously under the moonlight. The two hundred Armored Soldiers stood like a wall, which then transformed into a circular formation that encircled Lin Feng.
“Xiva (Kill).”
With a command from the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers, the circular encirclement quickly closed in, lunging toward Lin Feng. As he looked around at the countless Armored Soldiers surrounding him, a hint of fear crept into his expression.
However, his subordinates did not hesitate; they charged forward, attempting to break through a gap.
The encirclement had already tightened, and the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers struck simultaneously, their weapons thrusting toward Lin Feng. He managed to block some of the attacks, but with so many opponents, it was impossible to fend off all of them.
Countless weapons pierced into Lin Feng's High-Level Battle Armor. Although it did not shatter, the immense backlash caused pain to radiate through his body within the armor.
"Xiva (Kill)."
The commander of the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers continued to issue orders. The barrage of weapons relentlessly targeted Lin Feng again and again. Each time he killed one soldier, another would immediately take their place.
"If this keeps up, even the High-Level Battle Armor will eventually be destroyed."
Lin Feng felt a surge of dread; the battlefield was indeed different from a competition. A hundred wolves working together could take down a tiger or even a lion.
"Lord Chang, General Lin seems to be in a very passive position."
"General Lin is surrounded; what should we do?"
Chang Long coldly observed the battlefield, his teeth clenched in frustration. He suppressed his impulse and said, "Everyone stay calm and spread out; trust in our leader."
"I can't just defend; that will only make me more passive."
Lin Feng believed that his High-Level Battle Armor had strong defenses and could withstand attacks for a while longer. Thus, he decided to stop using the Moon City Sword for blocking and instead launched an all-out offensive.
Clang, clang, clang...
Countless weapons pierced towards Lin Feng's back, sides, and even his head. The impact surged through him, and if it weren't for his astonishing physical strength, he would have struggled to endure.
Lin Feng fought with all his might, the Moon City Sword shining with unparalleled sharpness, its momentum unstoppable. He carved a bloody path through the chaos, finally tearing a hole in the encirclement. Just as he was about to escape through the gap, the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers quickly adjusted their formation, instantly sealing the breach and forming a new encirclement.
"Damn it."
Lin Feng couldn't help but curse as he pushed off the ground, attempting to fly away into the air.
"Fire!"
With a command from the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers, two hundred Armored Soldiers simultaneously extended their right arms. The crossbows on their arms were drawn back, and two hundred bolts shot forth like a torrential rain towards Lin Feng.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The sound of countless projectiles slicing through the air sent chills down his spine. As soon as Lin Feng took to the sky, he was met with a devastating barrage. The crossbows wielded by these Armored Soldiers were specially forged and contained the power of Xuanjia. Each bolt possessed more killing power than their weapons combined.
Lin Feng twisted his body agilely in mid-air, occasionally swinging the Moon City Sword to deflect incoming bolts. However, there were simply too many arrows raining down on him; unless he summoned the Ancient Cauldron and dove inside it, there was little hope of escape.
Soon enough, the first bolt struck Lin Feng's body, followed by the second, third, tenth, and fiftieth... It was impossible to count how many bolts had hit him.
At that moment, the moonlight was anything but gentle. After the storm of arrows passed, Lin Feng fell from the sky like a bird shot down, crashing heavily to the ground. His body was riddled with bolts, and numerous cracks appeared on his Xuanjia armor.
The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers remained indifferent and no longer paid attention to Lin Feng. They shifted their formation once more to continue surrounding Sima Shangshan and the others. They knew that Lin Feng was already dead.
"Big..."
Lindor let out a cry, but was quickly silenced by Chang Long covering his mouth. Lindor looked at Lin Feng, who lay motionless on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Chang Long felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and self-blame; if anything happened to Lin Feng, it would be largely his fault.
Lin Feng, however, was not dead. He had simply been struck by too many crossbow bolts and was temporarily unable to move due to suffocation. Lying on the ground, he endured the excruciating pain in his body, slowly regaining his breath until he finally coughed up a mouthful of blood, allowing him to move once more.
The intense battle rapidly consumed his Vital Energy, but Lin Feng noticed that his soul power was quietly increasing, gradually enhancing his Cultivation.
"I understand now. The compatibility is related to the strength of one's soul. The control over High-Level Battle Armor is subtly influenced by the soul's power."
As the power of his soul merged with the Xuanjia, the silver armor began to emit a dazzling silver light. With the enhancement of his soul power, the brilliance of the silver Xuanjia became even more striking.
The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers who had just turned away sensed something unusual and slowly turned back, astonished to see that Lin Feng was miraculously still alive.
Seizing the moment of their shock, Lin Feng swiftly charged into the midst of the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers, cutting through them like a hot knife through butter. He fought his way through to join Sima Shangshan.
"Which brother risked his life to assist?" Sima Shangshan asked coldly as he faced countless Armored Soldiers ahead.
"Sima, it's me, Lin Feng."
"So it's Lin Brother! I will never forget this great kindness in my lifetime. When will reinforcements arrive?"
"Soon."
Lin Feng joined Sima Shangshan's team, forming a circle with their backs against each other. He noticed that Sima Shangshan's High-Level Battle Armor was not only cracked but also severely damaged in several places. It was clear that he had endured a fierce battle.
"Lin Brother, be careful. The leader of these Demon Clan Armored Soldiers is one of the Seventy-Two Demonic Followers. He wears High-Level Battle Armor and his cultivation is not much weaker than mine. He mingles among the Armored Soldiers, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, making it hard to defend against," Sima Shangshan warned.
Lin Feng then understood why Sima Shangshan's High-Level Battle Armor was broken. If he had been unable to move just now, that Cultist could have launched a sneak attack, potentially leaving him seriously injured and his Xuanjia shattered.
The Demon Clan Armored Soldiers were chattering about something incomprehensible. However, the mocking expressions on the faces of these Armored Soldiers disappeared, replaced by fierce looks. They then launched a violent assault against Sima Shangshan.
"This is bad; the Demon Clan Armored Soldiers must know our reinforcements are on the way, so they want to kill us quickly," Sima Shangshan thought anxiously.
"We just need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."
Lin Feng felt a secret joy in his heart; there were no reinforcements coming. But if these demons believed it, there might still be a chance to turn the tide later.
