Chapter Eighty-Five: Enlightened

  Lin Feng heard the sound of horseshoes behind him and turned back to say: "Lian Er sister, this is my choice, you don't have to follow me."

  "Little Wang, if you can get out of this alive, you'll be facing military law!" Ma Lian'er shouted in a shrill voice, her tone filled with boundless anger.

  Lin Feng was speechless.

  A massive dust storm swept across the main road, causing the earth to shake violently. Over a dozen heavily armored red tigers charged forward with a deafening roar, each carrying nineteen heavily armored knights on their backs, exuding an aura of deadly menace.

  When he saw Lin Feng and the two of them, Bu Zhan Mountain stopped his footsteps with a wave of his hand.

  "Ma Lian'er, you actually played this trick on me!" Bu Zishan said in a low voice, "Where's Old Shan?"

  "Old lady is standing here safely, and naturally, the War Star Soul is dead!" Ma Lian'er hummed.

  "Lao Zhan is dead!" Buzishan roared in anger, "Fine, today I'll have you buried with Lao Zhan!"

  "Warrior Star Soul can't stop me, you pale face, neither can you!" Ma Lian'er sneered and turned her horse's head to charge into the mountain forest by the side of the road. Lin Feng also immediately followed up.

  "Want to run?" Bu Zishan laughed and shouted, "Catch him!" He urged Chi Hu to chase after Ma Lian'er.

  Another eighteen Red Tiger warriors each rode their horses and rushed into the dense forest, surrounding Lin Feng and his party.

  Ma Lian'er was silently rushing through the forest, with Lin Feng closely following behind her. As for this area, he wasn't familiar with it at all, so he could only follow Ma Lian'er.

  The Red Tiger Army was also well-trained, with several people closely following behind Lin Feng and the others, while the rest were rushing forward at high speed, trying to intercept Lin Feng and the others.

  In the dense forest, the war horses were not easy to move, but the Red Tigers seemed to have some speed advantage. Soon, Lin Feng and others were vaguely surrounded. Nineteen Red Tiger soldiers echoed each other, compressing the range of Lin Feng's escape.

  "Ling'er sister, I've dragged you into this!" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile.

  "The battle hasn't even ended yet, what nonsense are you spouting!" Ma Lian'er shouted angrily.

  They arrived at a clearing in the woods, and Ma Lian'er pointed her spear at three Red Tiger Army soldiers who were faintly visible in the distance. "We'll make quick work of this," she said. "Let's take out these three first - they're no match for us."

  "Good!" Lin Feng also nodded.

  Ma Lian'er silently turned her horse's head and galloped towards those people at high speed.

  "Get out of the way!"

  "Get out of the way!"

  Ma Lian'er and Lin Feng charged over with an imposing momentum, causing the three Red Tiger Army soldiers to be shocked, and they hastily retreated to both sides.

  "Want to escape?" Ma Lian'er chuckled, and with a swing of her war spear, she heavily slapped one of them. The Red Tiger Army knight let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

  It's just the power of the fourth heavy blow of Hu Xing Quan, and the strongest blow of the seventh heavy blow of Hu Xing Quan. Even if he wore a symbol Dao war armor, he would not be able to withstand it!

  Lin Feng's Wind Chasing Speed was even more superior to Ma Lie's Black Whirlwind Horse, and under the high-speed charge, the war gun also knocked a Red Tiger Army knight off his horse, sending him tumbling to the ground, unconscious.

  Without their master, the two Red Tigers were simultaneously struck by the war spears wielded by the two men and directly beaten to death!

  The third knight finally managed to escape successfully, but did not dare to block the two men's path, and a clear gap appeared in the entire encirclement.

  "Damn it!"

  Buzi Mountain roared continuously, rushing towards Lin Feng and the others at high speed.

  First, the War Star Soul died, and then two low-level Red Tiger Army soldiers. How can he bear such losses?

  Ma Lian'er turned her head and gave Buzishan a cold look.

  "Watch out!"

  Bu Zishan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he immediately reined in Chi Hu.

  With a burst of speed, he was already more than ten zhang away from his subordinates. Such a distance was already somewhat dangerous.

  The two of them are still evenly matched, if they can easily kill the War Star Soul, why can't they easily kill him? The strength of He Bu Zhi Shan is also comparable to that of the War Star Soul.

  Ma Lian'er let out a hum and turned her head, rushing towards the dense forest.

  Two Red Tiger Army soldiers were blown off the Red Tiger, but the other Red Tiger Army soldiers did not hesitate and continued to surround Lin Feng and his companion. The small gap was quickly sealed up.

  Ma Lian'er once again led Lin Feng in a charge to one side, but those Red Tiger Army soldiers were quite slippery and directly relied on the agility of the Red Tiger to avoid them, yet still managed to surround the two.

  Behind them, Buzi Shan led four Tiger Form Fist Sixth Rank members of the Red Tiger Army to form a fist, and they were also getting closer and closer to Lin Feng and his companion.

  On flat ground, the Red Tiger Army's Red Tiger was naturally no match for the Black Whirlwind Horse in terms of absolute speed. However, in dense forests, it was obviously more agile. For Lin Feng and the others, the best way to escape would be to leave the main road.

  The Red Tiger Army blocked the main road from Wujia Fortress to Wulin City, and the two of them could have chosen another direction, avoiding the Red Tiger Army and taking a detour back to Wulin City.

  But if they were to let Wujiabao be taken over by the Red Tiger Army and let civilians suffer losses, that was something Lin Feng did not want to see.

  Not taking the main road and wanting to divert the Red Tiger Army's attention, they had no choice but to enter the mountains.

  But by coming here, he undoubtedly put himself in danger.

  Ma Lian'er looked at Lin Feng with a glance, sighed helplessly and transmitted: "Lin Feng, if you die here today, will you regret it?"

  "I'll probably regret it! But if the same situation came up again, I'd still do the same thing, because that's just who I am." Lin Feng said with a bitter smile.

  "If I die here, it's a loss! Damn it, I haven't even gotten intimate with Lao Yun once, and to die like this is really too regrettable!" Ma Lian'er said in a crisp voice.

  Lin Feng was speechless, he really didn't know how to answer such a question.

  "But if I had to choose again, I would still have to follow you. Because we are sworn brothers, if I were to abandon you and run back, Old Cloud would definitely not let me off." Ma Lian'er sighed.

  Lin Feng was silent. As for Yun Zhiya, he couldn't say anything. The Yun Zhiya in Ma Lian'er's eyes and the Yun Zhiya in his own eyes were two completely different people.

  "Send a signal!" Ma Lian'er said gloomily, "If we die in battle, let Old Yun know where we died." As she spoke, she waved her hand and a trail of smoke and fire shot up into the sky.

  "No need to run anymore, there's a cliff ahead, this is a dead end. Lin Feng, you're really good at choosing places." Ma Lian'er's eyes gleamed with endless killing intent, "Since we can't run, let's fight!"

  "Good!" Lin Feng's heart was also surging with hot blood.

  Although there is endless regret in his heart, he is a born warrior, as Lin Heng said, the courage to fight with his back to the water will never be lacking.

  Can't escape, then fight! Not only for the sake of grasping that faint glimmer of hope, but also for the honor of being a Dark Armor Heavy Cavalryman!

  "If there was another guy as strong as me, the chances of survival would be much higher." Ma Lian'er sighed, "Just now, fighting against Star Soul consumed too much of my strength. To fully recover, I'll need some more time. And this Step Mountain is waiting for us to tire ourselves out, sigh!"

  Lin Feng's eyes flashed: "Then let's make a move and kill this Stepson Mountain!"

  "Is it still the threefold waves of the Tsanglang River?" Ma Lian'er smiled.

  "Right!" Lin Feng nodded, "I'll have to trouble you again!"

  "Give it a try, I reckon it's enough. Lin Feng, it's up to you!" Ma Lian'er urged her warhorse on and charged towards the few people at Buzi Mountain at high speed.

  "Are you not going to escape?" Buzi Shan laughed and walked towards Ma Lian'er with his battle spear.

  Several other sixth-grade Tiger Fist warriors of the Red Tiger Army tried to bypass Ma Lian'er, but were blocked by Ma Lian'er's frantic and desperate defense.

  "Don't bother with that, kill Ma Lian'er first!" Bu Zishan shouted, "Killing Ma Lian'er is a great achievement in itself!"

  The crowd took orders and surrounded Ma Lian'er tightly, each holding a spear and beckoning to Ma Lian'er.

  Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and with a light pat on the wind, he rushed towards the few people who were speeding towards him from the Step Hill. His eyes shone brightly, full of determination.

  Never give up hope, even in desperation, you must fight on, this is the teaching of my father Lin Heng.

  "Stop him, one man!" Shi Zongyuan said in a low voice.

  A red tiger army urged on the red tiger, and it came towards Lin Feng.

  "Hmph!" Lin Feng's eyes turned cold as he directly used his localized enhancement power, pouring a massive amount of energy into the war spear.

  At the moment of impending collision, Lin Feng's war spear suddenly violently stabbed and heavily struck the opponent's war gun at the position of the guard.

  An extremely simple action, just like what he did when facing Yun Zhongshan during the Heavy Cavalry Trial of Xuanwu.

  And the effect is also just as good.

  Lin Feng's war gun struck the opponent's war gun guard with a terrifying impact, and the Red Tiger Army was naturally unable to hold onto their weapons. The war gun flew high into the air, and Lin Feng took advantage of the momentum to make a horizontal sweep, directly crushing his throat!

  This is the effect of having a strong perception ability. With the same strength and equipment, someone with a strong soul is completely invincible at the same level! Not to mention that Lin Feng also used his partial strengthening power.

  This shot also consumed a lot of Lin Feng's physical strength. Lin Feng's arm trembled slightly, but his feet didn't stop, and he continued to rush towards Buzhi Mountain.

  "Footsteps... Symbol lines... Traces... Heavenly Earth's Original Energy..."

  Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly as he rushed towards Mount Step at high speed. At this moment, his heart was extremely clear and had gained a hint of enlightenment.

  "So that's what Canglang Threefold means!"

  "The pace doesn't have to be fixed, and the target doesn't have to be fixed either. The key is to simulate that 'symbol line' and stir up the primordial energy of heaven and earth!"

  "This is just like drawing with a brush, but the lines are unpredictable. There's only one simple outline, yet there are endless possibilities for creativity!"

  "The key is creation, it's calculation!"

  In fact, the ancient great power of observing flowers blooming and falling, clouds rising and dispersing, creating symbols and Tao, is itself a creative process, and it's a more complex creation. As for Canglang's threefold pace, it's as if previous generations have already created half of it, you just need to add the finishing touches!

  But the key point is a kind of creation. As long as the calculation is accurate, it can completely determine the moment when the symbol line stops, and at this moment, a strong attack bursts out!

  The enemy is moving, so we must constantly modify our creations and adjust the pace of our ride. This also requires extremely high demands on the ride, which is why only Lin Heng has successfully used the Canglang Threefold.

  Fortunately, Lin Feng's mount was Chui Feng, although it didn't look impressive, but it was indeed a real heavenly horse! Lin Feng knew that Chui Feng could definitely do it!

  Lin Feng's mouth corners slightly curled up, his eyes extremely bright. Another Tiger Form Fist sixth rank knight charged over, Lin Feng let out a loud shout, his war spear swiftly stabbing out!

  Without using any techniques or localized reinforcement powers, I'll use only the power of the Sixth Form of Tiger Fist!

  Two spears clashed violently together.

  Lin Feng's war spear was still firmly held in his hand, while his opponent's war spear flew directly out of their hands, and the Red Tiger under him also retreated several steps back!
