Chapter 656 Impersonating a Son-in-Law
With 130,000 men facing 50,000, and being attacked from both sides, the outcome was obvious.
The Fengyang private army immediately fell into a disadvantageous position, with no chance to fight back at all.
When faced with the powerful crossbowmen, the Fengyang private army was utterly helpless. They had never seen such powerful crossbows, nor such sharp spears and lances.
The lord of Huizhou City was not to be outdone, and personally led his army into battle.
Seeing the enemy army quickly defeated, the city lord of Huizhou laughed heartily: "I didn't expect this girl to be able to bring in reinforcements. It seems she has a good relationship with that kid."
In the eyes of the city lord of Huizhou, Guo Zhixi was a good knife for killing, a pawn connecting the city lord's mansion and the Lotus Palace. He never thought that she could also catch a rich husband. This was definitely an unexpected gain.
"As soon as I ascend the throne, I will immediately grant you marriage, and use this land of Huizhou as your dowry!"
The more the city lord of Huizhou killed, the more excited he became, and the happier he felt.
At the same time, the Lord of Fengyang City panicked, never dreaming that Lin Ping was so capable.
Half an hour later, the battle came to an end. More than half of the Fengyang private army had been killed or wounded, and the rest abandoned their armor and weapons, some fleeing and others surrendering.
Lin Ping stood in front of Yao Chengyu and said coldly, "It's time to settle the score for hurting my senior sister!"
"What a cruel heart! Just because of a woman, he killed tens of thousands of my soldiers, and now he wants me to pay with my life!" Yao Chengyu said through gritted teeth.
Had Yao Chengyu known that Lin Ping would protect Guo Zhixi so much, he would never have dared to touch her.
"It's not for a woman," Lin Ping shook his head and said, "It's for a very important woman!"
Yao Chengyu initially thought he was acting for the sake of the country, but in the end, it all came down to his woman.
"If you want me to pay with my life, we'll see if you have the ability," Yao Chengyu said coldly, clearly accepting Lin Ping's challenge.
They were both at the Black Lotus Realm level, and their contest was based on swordsmanship.
"Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon!" Lin Ping made the first move, and a sharp net of swords descended from the sky.
"Is this all the Lotus Palace's swordsmanship is capable of?" Yao Chengyu smiled strangely, his longsword moving unpredictably, clearly more profound and unfathomable than the Lotus Palace's swordsmanship.
"Is this a sword technique from the Nightmare Palace?" Lin Ping sneered in return.
"How about it? Scared yet? Too bad there's no medicine for regret in this world," Yao Chengyu said smugly.
Although we lost the battle, capturing Lin Ping alive could be a turning point.
"Indeed, I'm afraid, but who's afraid of whom is anyone's guess." Lin Ping's smile grew increasingly sinister, and his swordplay suddenly changed.
"Scorching sun!"
The thin, tattered net of swords instantly transformed into blazing flames, hurtling towards Yao Chengyu like a falling meteor.
"The Crimson Sun Sword Technique? This is the Crimson Sun Sword Technique? Just who are you?"
As soon as the sword move was unleashed, Yao Chengyu panicked. This was the nemesis of the Nightshade Palace.
As Yao Chengyu said, there's no medicine for regret in this world, and panicking is useless.
Lin Ping's terrifying sword move immediately engulfed Yao Chengyu. If it weren't for his considerable strength, he would have died on the spot. Even so, his body was still riddled with holes, looking like a blood-soaked figure.
"It seems the city lord is destined to die by a pistol." Having failed to kill his opponent with one move, Lin Ping shook his head and silently pulled out his pistol.
This was the same pistol that killed Yao Yunfei, and it was also the same pistol that killed the city lord of Ningguo not long ago. Lin Ping decided to use it to kill Yao Chengyu as well.
Bang!
A flash of light, and the bullet streaked across the sky like a thunderclap, aimed directly at Yao Chengyu's forehead.
Lin Ping had tested the power of the pistol before; at most, it could kill a master of the White Lotus Realm.
Once you advance to the Black Lotus Realm, you can dodge at a constant speed.
However, Yao Chengyu was seriously injured and his speed was limited, so he could only watch helplessly as the bullet approached his brow.
Whoosh whoosh!
A dark shadow flashed by, creating a sizable whirlwind that swept Yao Chengyu away.
Lin Ping hurriedly activated the X function, and was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly.
This speed was beyond his ability to detect, and was definitely above that of Lü Yan and the others.
It's not impossible to kill Lin Ping.
"Is this the true master of the Nightshade Palace?" Lin Ping murmured to himself.
The appearance of this person refreshed Lin Ping's understanding of masters.
Not to mention how terrifying the Nightmare Palace is, the Lotus Palace may also have such experts.
For example, the Palace Master of Lotus Palace, and Jiang Lanfeng and her senior brother.
Thinking of this, Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine. Perhaps he really needed to revise the plan to attack Lotus Palace.
"Hahaha, that's great! My son-in-law is indeed very capable!"
His thoughts were interrupted by the cheerful voice of the city lord of Huizhou.
"A son-in-law? Why do people your age like to fight over sons-in-law? Is it because I, Lin Ping, have the word 'son-in-law' written on my forehead?" Lin Ping shook his head repeatedly.
Lin Ping dared not accept the kindness offered by the city lord of Huizhou.
Clearly, the other side mistook him for an ally, unaware of his true identity.
Guo Zhixi blushed and whispered in Lin Ping's ear, "My lord, please don't take it seriously. Father was just joking."
How could Lin Ping not understand the meaning of the Huizhou City Lord?
He smiled faintly and said, "He's not joking; he's trying to win me over."
These words stung Guo Zhiqian's heart again. She had thought that the city lord of Huizhou had seen through her feelings for Lin Ping and that was why he had taken the initiative to grant her wish. Now, she realized that he was still using her.
"Perhaps Father is unaware, but the Lord is the Left Commander of the Central Army of the Wu Kingdom, and he has come here to annihilate the Lotus Palace," Guo Zhixi said coldly.
These past few days, she has thought for a long time about whether or not to continue being an enemy of the imperial court.
Later, when she finally got her hands on Lin Ping's poetry collection, she truly understood Lin Ping's profound foresight.
Continuing to be an enemy of the imperial court will only lead to a crushing defeat.
But she dared not tell the city lord of Huizhou about this idea, nor did she dare to shatter his long-held dream.
Now that Lin Ping is standing right in front of her, sheltering her from the wind and rain, Guo Zhixi has gained confidence.
"So you're someone from the imperial court?" The city lord of Huizhou's face darkened.
"Impossible! The court is beset by internal and external troubles, where would so many troops come from?" He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and hoped that it was just Guo Zhixi joking.
"Internal and external troubles? You mean Bai Tiantian? I've already driven him away," Lin Ping said calmly.
Defeating Bai Tiantian? The city lord of Huizhou became wary.
"You, a mere brat, dare to claim you've defeated Bai Tiantian?" The city lord of Huizhou spoke with utter disdain.
"I don't have time to waste words with you." Lin Ping shrugged and said, "No matter what you think, this army of 100,000 is real and obeys my orders. If you insist on helping Lotus Palace, I don't mind wiping out your 30,000 private troops as well."
After speaking, Lin Ping threw a wooden box in front of the city lord of Huizhou.
If something exists, it has a reason. Even if there are a thousand or a hundred people who don't believe it, he still can't defeat an army of 100,000.
"What is this?" The city lord of Huizhou used his spear to knock the wooden box away, revealing a bloody human head on the ground, undoubtedly belonging to the city lord of Ningguo.
