Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Breaking an Army with One Sword

Provoking the Snake of Fear might cause It to personally manifest and come to kill Shu Feng.

Shu Feng didn’t know exactly how strong the Snake of Fear was, nor whether even Demon King Gall could be a match for It. He had no desire to provoke an enemy of that caliber just yet.

As for Shu Feng killing a powerhouse like Yimas, that was still within the Snake of Fear’s range of tolerance. After all, Yimas himself had killed Hunter I, a follower of the Skill God.

After a good while, Hilea, looking valiant and heroic in a suit of silver armor, finally stepped into the Platinum Palace.

Hilea stated crisply, "The situation outside is under control!"

Shu Feng pointed at Yimas’s corpse. "As we agreed, he’s dead!"

Shu Feng had already chopped Yimas’s body into countless pieces. Only his head remained intact, his eyes frozen in an expression of Fear and Despair.

"That Demon is finally dead!"

Staring at Yimas’s severed head, Hilea finally let out a sigh of relief as a look of ease flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Yimas was a follower of the Serpent of Fear Church and an equally evil man. After taking over the Greenstein Kingdom, his tyrannical rule was marked by his relentless pursuit of Hilea and other members of the Royal Family. The entire nation was shrouded in Fear.

While Hilea had her share of a Royal Family elite’s flaws—being deeply scheming, using anyone she could to her advantage, and wearing many masks—she was, on the whole, a relatively kind person.

Seeing her once-prosperous nation transformed into a hellish kingdom of Demons, Hilea naturally loathed Yimas, the one responsible.

With Yimas dead, the entire Greenstein Kingdom immediately collapsed, and the Serpent of Fear Church quickly went underground.

With the support of the nobles of the Saint Arman Kingdom, led by Hilea, Shu Feng smoothly ascended the throne, becoming the King of the Wind Kingdom. He then began to personally lead the campaign against the Rebel Army of the Greenstein Kingdom.

Nobles from every region contributed men and resources, joining the Kingdom Army to crush the rebels.

The various rebel forces crumbled at the first sign of conflict; they were no match for the local nobles’ armies.

「Wild Horse Plain.」

Ten thousand soldiers of the Wind Kingdom’s Kingdom Army stood in formation on one side. On the other, a hundred thousand rebels were gathered, their armor a mismatched collection and their eyes filled with apprehension.

"His Majesty Kahn, show yourself! I have something to say!"

A Knight riding a Dragon-Horned Horse, clad in black Legendary Armor and wielding a Legendary Long Spear, emerged from the ranks of the Rebel Army and bellowed.

A stir went through the nobles within the Kingdom Army as they watched the Legendary Knight. He was Jiulongduo, one of the five former Legendary Professional Skill Users of the Saint Arman Kingdom. He was also known as the strongest Legendary Knight in the Saint Arman Kingdom, second only to Hunter.

"Jiulongduo, if you have something to say, then say it!"

The ranks of the Kingdom Army parted, and Shu Feng rode forth on a Dragon-Horned Horse. He wore a suit of white armor, held a greatsword, and spoke coldly.

Jiulongduo bellowed, "His Majesty Kahn, why won’t you accept my surrender? Why are you so intent on wiping me out? Aren’t you afraid that doing this will alienate all the other nobles?"

After Yimas’s death, the nobles who had been granted titles by the Greenstein Kingdom quickly chose to pledge their allegiance to Shu Feng.

Shu Feng accepted most of these nobles but adopted a policy of total annihilation toward a select few. Jiulongduo was one of the Great Nobles whom Shu Feng refused to accept.

Many of the nobles within the Kingdom Army turned their eyes toward Shu Feng, a sense of unease growing among them. After all, many of them had also pledged fealty to the Greenstein Kingdom.

"Jiulongduo, the other nobles may have pledged allegiance to the Greenstein Kingdom, but they did not conduct large-scale, evil blood sacrifices. You, on the other hand, massacred fifty thousand slaves in an evil blood sacrifice just to please the Serpent of Fear Church. Your crime is monstrous, and for that, you deserve to die!"

Shu Feng leveled his Long Sword at Jiulongduo, his gaze icy as he declared.

Jiulongduo roared, "Kahn, those slaves were my private property! Disposing of them was my own business, you have no right to interfere! I am the lord of Bania Territory, and I protect over ten million people. If you kill me, those ten million people will be thrown into peril! Is it really worth killing a Legendary Professional Skill User, a Great Noble, for the sake of those worthless things?"

In the Andoras World, slaves were their master’s property, equivalent to little more than livestock. It was not unusual for someone like Jiulongduo to use fifty thousand slaves for a blood sacrifice.

"Someone else will naturally step up to protect the Bania Territory after you’re dead! Enough, Jiulongduo. Stop wasting my time! Die! Attack!"

With an icy gaze, Shu Feng pointed his Long Sword toward the Rebel Army. With a sharp cry, he spurred his horse on, leading the charge himself.

The ten thousand soldiers of the Kingdom Army followed close behind Shu Feng, charging toward the Rebel Army.

"Attack! Whoever brings me Kahn’s head, I will give my daughter, Emma, to him in marriage! He will become the heir to the Bania Territory!"

Jiulongduo roared, pointing his long spear at the Kingdom Army.

A flash of excitement lit up the eyes of the hundred thousand rebels. With a roar, they charged toward the Kingdom Army.

Most of the hundred thousand rebels were farmers from the Bania Territory, Adventurers, mercenaries from various Mercenary Corps, and all sorts of desperados. If any of them could marry Jiulongduo’s daughter, Emma, they would soar to prominence overnight and become a truly great figure in the Andoras World. Besides, Emma was also one of the most renowned beauties in the Bania Territory.

’Fools!’

As Shu Feng watched the hundred thousand rebels swarm toward him like ants, he gave a cold smile and unleashed a strike with his Storm Swordsmanship.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from a ten-mile radius instantly converged on Shu Feng’s sword, forming a terrifying Storm Sword that slashed down into the Rebel Army.

Countless rebels were torn to shreds by the Storm Sword. The terrifying blade carved a path of flesh and blood straight through their ranks.

"No!"

"How can this be?"

"A monster! There’s no way we can stop a monster like that!"

"..."

The hundred-thousand-strong Rebel Army was nothing more than a disorderly mob to begin with. After witnessing such a horrifying scene, their morale instantly collapsed, and they scattered in all directions.

’So strong! That’s Divine Skill Level Storm Swordsmanship, something only a Sword Saint should possess! Isn’t Kahn a thief? Could he be a dual-Profession Skill User? That makes sense. For a powerhouse capable of killing Yimas, even being a dual-Profession Skill User wouldn’t be surprising!’

Seeing this, a chill ran down Jiulongduo’s spine. He immediately leaped from his horse, his armor changing color as he silently fled into the distance.

Jiulongduo had harbored a sliver of hope that the hundred thousand rebels could exhaust Shu Feng’s Power, giving him an opportunity to defeat him. But the rebels had crumbled at the first blow, and Shu Feng’s combat strength far surpassed anything he could have imagined.
