Dragon God Supreme

Chapter 66: Chapter 066 Mission
 

“Wang He, do you have any last words?” Feng Wuchen asked coldly, expressionless as he walked over.

Wang He’s eyes were filled with despair. Trembling, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, pleading for mercy, “Grand Commander, spare my life, please. I was blind and offended the Grand Commander. Please, let me go this time!”

“Is that your last word?” Feng Wuchen asked coldly.

Wang He trembled all over, having heard the resolve in Feng Wuchen’s voice to kill him.

Watching Feng Wuchen approach step by step with the Fiery Blade in hand, Wang Zhongxian panicked immensely and quickly begged for mercy, “Grand Commander, it’s all because I failed to discipline my child properly. If you must kill, then kill me instead, but please spare Wang He’s life.”

“Your failure to discipline your child is your own affair, irrelevant to me,” Feng Wuchen replied indifferently.

When he reached Wang He, Feng Wuchen added, “To make it clear to everyone that I am not bullying others by flaunting my power, I think it’s necessary to say something.”

“I had just arrived in Feiyun City today, and when I went to Tianxian Tower, I found an unoccupied spot to sit down. The shopkeeper said it was Wang He’s seat. Not wanting to cause trouble, I didn’t mind, but when Wang He arrived, he wanted to kill me over such a trivial matter. I believe many in Tianxian Tower saw it clearly, especially the shopkeeper,” Feng Wuchen said lightly.

At this point, looking at Wang Zhongxian, Feng Wuchen asked, “Lord Wang, now that I am about to kill your son, do you have anything to say?”

“…” Wang Zhongxian had no words to respond, inwardly cursing Wang He for his arrogance and presumption.

“Lord Wang, if the emperor were to know of this incident, that having just been conferred the title of Grand Commander, you would dare to defy your superiors and not take the emperor into account! What do you think the consequences would be?” Situ Zhentian said with a gloomy anger.

Hearing this, Wang Zhongxian was so frightened that he trembled all over, his face turning pale.

If the emperor were to find out about this situation, not to mention whether Wang Zhongxian and Wang He would be able to save their lives, they might all be implicated and their families punished!

“Grand Commander! I realize my mistake, and I will change! Grand Commander, please spare me this time,” Wang He pleaded desperately, kowtowing with all his might, while crying for mercy.

If only he had known, why did he ever start this trouble in the first place?

It was all too late. There was no more time.

“It’s excusable to offend the Grand Commander, but you even wanted to kill him. Do you still think you deserve to live?” Chi Huang said disdainfully with a cold snort.

“Grand Commander, kill him!” the soldiers and officers shouted angrily.

To the soldiers, Feng Wuchen’s status had become extremely high, revered as if he were a deity.

Pleading with Feng Wuchen was useless, so Wang He then begged Yang Tianxian for mercy, “Duke, Prince, Great General, spare my life, please, I don’t want to die.”

“Tch!”

The Fiery Blade in Feng Wuchen’s hand showed no mercy as it slashed across Wang He’s neck. With a hiss, a bloodline instantly appeared on his neck. Wang He’s eyes widened, and the next second, blood spurted out.

“He’er!” Seeing Wang He fall, Wang Zhongxian cried out in immense grief.

Wang He was mercilessly killed by Feng Wuchen, and no one present had any sympathy for him. On the contrary, many felt immense relief!

“Grand Commander, what about the others who defied their superiors? Should we execute them all?” Ling Zhantian asked respectfully.

Feng Wuchen was conferred as the Empire’s Grand Commander, and his status was now on par with Ye Cangqiong, giving him the authority to decide on the Empire’s officials.

Ling Zhantian’s words frightened the officials and guards of the Wang house out of their wits.

With Feng Wuchen’s current position as Grand Commander, just one word from him, and they would all be dead!

Fifth Grade officials were only mid-level officials in the Empire; Ye Cangqiong was a First Grade official, far higher than Wang Zhongxian.

Feng Wuchen fell silent for a moment, then said, “Dismiss them from office; the others who were unaware are innocent.”

“Yes!” Ling Zhantian responded respectfully, and then gestured to several Black Flag Army soldiers to step forward and remove their official hats.

Wang Zhongxian and the other officials immediately deflated, full of resentment in their hearts because of Wang He, causing them all to be dismissed from their positions.

Zhao Fei and many guards of the Wang house sighed in complete relief, feeling like they had returned from hell to heaven, relaxing their tense nerves, and only then realizing that their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.

“Thank you, Grand Commander!” Zhao Fei and many guards knelt down in gratitude.

“Duke, Prince, Great General, I shall take my leave,” Feng Wuchen said with a slight bow of his hands.

“Master, where are you heading?” Situ Zhentian quickly asked, unafraid of revealing his discipleship to Feng Wuchen.

“Yunzhou,” Feng Wuchen said indifferently.

“Take care, Grand Commander!” Yang Tianxian and Ye Cangqiong among others all paid their respects.

“Duke, Prince, Great General, thank you for your cultivation. If the Empire is in trouble, we will certainly return!” Chi Huang and the others bowed respectfully.

“Be sure to cultivate diligently! Do not disappoint the Grand Commander!” Ye Cangqiong advised.

“Yes!” The eight once again bowed respectfully.

“Farewell, Grand Commander!” The soldiers of the Black Flag Army and the Sky Shadow Cavalry shouted respectfully, their eyes full of reluctance, their sonorous voices echoing again through Feiyun City.

This signified the soldiers’ deep respect for Feng Wuchen, stirring the blood of the people of Feiyun City!

What an immense honor, what envy it inspired!

Everyone watched as Feng Wuchen and his companions walked out of the city gates, their eyes filled with nothing but reverence.

It was believed that sooner or later, the entire Imperial Capital would be buzzing with tales of a young Grand Commander from the Empire, known as the Master Feng that shook Yunzhou!

Leng Mucheng and the other seven followed closely behind Feng Wuchen. Since they had made their decision, they would not go back on their word.

An hour later, Feng Wuchen and his group arrived deep in the mountains.

The eight men stood in a line, their gazes filled with respect. Their names were Chi Huang, Leng Mucheng, Kuang Zhan, Xue Feng, Nie Zhong, Dao Hun, Duan Tianfeng, Huo Ming.

“Think it over carefully. Once you follow me, there’s no turning back. That is to say, you are no longer soldiers of the Empire, but my subordinates!” Feng Wuchen spoke.

“Swear to follow the Grand Commander to the death!” Chi Huang and the other seven replied without a moment’s hesitation.

“Very good!” Feng Wuchen nodded in satisfaction and then took out a few items from his Storage Ring, saying, “This is the Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Technique, an Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique, and an instant movement technique. It’s a frighteningly powerful movement technique. There are also some strong sword techniques and Elixirs that I have prepared for you.”

Upon hearing this, Chi Huang and the seven other men were so shocked their eyes widened, and they were utterly dumbfounded.

“Earth… Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique?” The words completely stunned the eight men. Whatever Feng Wuchen said afterward, they probably did not hear.

Feng Wuchen handed the items to Chi Huang and said, “You have a task. Go to Tianzhou immediately and, with your experience, find a good location to build a Sword Pavilion. In eight months, I will return to Tianzhou, and you should use this time to practice these techniques and sword techniques. Improve your cultivation as much as you can.”

“Yes!” Chi Huang and the others replied respectfully after coming back to their senses.

All of this came so suddenly, so delightfully, and so unexpectedly that they found it hard to digest in the moment.

An Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique! Was this a dream?

For the Empire, such a technique was legendary, a treasure countless people could only dream of obtaining.

Yet such a coveted treasure was something Feng Wuchen casually handed out for them to practice!

The technique was frightening enough, not to mention the other sword techniques, which would undoubtedly be extraordinary.

After giving the instructions, Feng Wuchen left.

Chi Huang and the others still found themselves in a state of immense shock.

“Chi Huang, are we hearing right? The Grand Commander really said it’s an Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique! And something about an instant movement technique! I’ve never even heard of that!” Leng Mucheng asked in disbelief.

“No… no mistake. It’s definitely an Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique! The Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Technique!” Chi Huang confirmed with a trembling voice, still in shock.

“Where did the Grand Commander get an Earth-Rank Cultivation Technique? He gave us all these Earth-Rank techniques, does that mean the ones he cultivates are even stronger?” Kuang Zhan speculated with amazement.

“The Nine Dragons Battle Heaven Technique!” Chi Huang and the seven men quickly recovered from their shock, replaced by wild joy and excitement.

Chi Huang and the others had never imagined that leaving the military would lead to such unexpected events.

“Let’s go to Tianzhou immediately! Choose the location for the Sword Pavilion well, so we can practice the Cultivation Technique and sword techniques! We must not disappoint the Grand Commander!” Chi Huang said excitedly, laughing and hurriedly storing the treasures given by Feng Wuchen into his Storage Ring.

The eight officers were filled with determination, feeling a surge of energy throughout their bodies!

What they did not know was that years later, under Feng Wuchen’s tutelage, they would become the eight great swordsmen that shook the Empire!

After the eight men left, Feng Wuchen’s figure appeared at the top of an ancient tree not far away, his gaze following Chi Huang and the others’ retreating figures.

“I hope you do not betray me,” Feng Wuchen murmured. After Chi Huang and the others disappeared, Feng Wuchen then whisked himself away.

In the face of great interests, there’s no absolute loyalty. Once one becomes powerful and influential, people’s hearts may slowly change.

People are unpredictable, and Feng Wuchen was also concerned about this. He had high hopes for Chi Huang and the rest, but who could tell what the future might bring?

An hour later, Feng Wuchen was already far away from the Imperial Capital, climbing to the top of a towering mountain at the border between the Imperial Capital and Yunzhou.

Feng Wuchen slowly closed his eyes, feeling the dense spiritual energy of nature in the mountains.

“This will do,” Feng Wuchen muttered to himself, planning to cultivate here.

Feng Wuchen refined some Golden Spirit Pills to aid his cultivation and then used meteoric iron to create a Spiritual Artifact hairpin before beginning his practice.

In order to enhance his cultivation, Feng Wuchen devoted all his energy to continuous practice every day—martial arts, sword techniques, and various other fighting skills. He slowly grasped deeper layers of their essence, bringing out the ultimate power of the sword techniques and fighting skills.

The body of the Supreme had now stepped into the first stage from the beginner’s level, its constitution reinforced, becoming even more powerful.

After a month, Feng Wuchen’s gains were enormous. He broke through to the Fourth Layer of the Transformative Realm. His sword techniques and fighting skills had all reached a high level of mastery, and his combat strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

With his now Fourth Layer Transformative Realm cultivation, Feng Wuchen was confident he could defeat an opponent at the Seventh Level of the same realm!

“The Golden Spirit Pills are a bit too weak. It seems I need to find some herbs to refine Tongxuan Pills, which are much more effective. In the absence of other natural treasures, I can only rely on Elixirs,” Feng Wuchen softly said. As his cultivation grew stronger, his practice became increasingly difficult.

“Instant Movement!” Suddenly, Feng Wuchen activated the power of the Dragon God, shouting lowly.

“Whoosh!”

In that instant, Feng Wuchen’s figure disappeared and reappeared tens of meters away in a flash, the speed was terrifyingly fast.

“The relics of the Evil Dragon are indeed not bad, such a terrifying movement technique rightly deserves the name Instant Movement,” Feng Wuchen said excitedly. After becoming proficient, he could now perform the technique effortlessly.
