Chapter 004: A Shot to Conquer the Spirit Flame

However, what is even more sinister is Wang Fo'er in this current body

Wang Fo'er had a keen eye and noticed that the Sidian soldier did not seem to be completely dead. With a thought, he took out the bronze ring and quietly circled around.

The blade's aura, extending over ten meters, not only pierced the chest of the ambushing Xidi general, killing him instantly, but in its sweeping motion, also dismembered dozens of Xidi soldiers on the spot. This formidable move momentarily halted the advancing Xidi troops who sought to take advantage of the situation.

The language used here is akin to Chinese, with a cultural style reminiscent of the Han and Tang dynasties. This land has been known since ancient times as the Central Land of the Divine State, and the place where he resides is within the territory of Lingzhou, under the jurisdiction of the present-day Great Qian Dynasty

This object is indeed a very sinister magical artifact

In recent days, after encountering several dangers in succession, Wang Fo'er finally realized that the physical qualities of the beings in this world exceed those on Earth by a hundredfold. Although he is only six or seven years old, he is already stronger than the adults on Earth

Wang Fo'er looked on with shining eyes, greatly impressed. "This red-robed general is truly remarkable; although they are outnumbered, their momentum is quite strong. They must have purchased the Wangwang Grand Gift Package a long time ago!"

In addition to internal issues, in recent years, the Great Qian Dynasty has also faced the invasion of the Western Di army; otherwise, it would not be as chaotic as it is now. The people of Western Di are referred to as the Demon Clan by the people of Central Plains, consisting of dozens of varieties, known for their ferocity. They have been in constant conflict with the Central Plains dynasties for generations, causing headaches not only for the Great Qian Dynasty.

The evolution of life in Middle-earth differs somewhat from that on Earth. Wang Fo'er possesses a level of biological knowledge equivalent to that of high school physiology, and thus is unable to ascertain whether this evolution contradicts scientific principles

Another seven or eight days have passed, and Wang Fo'er, in her previous life, could be considered a person of normal intelligence. From various clues and hints, she gradually pieced together a rough outline of this world

Wang Fo'er watched with great excitement when suddenly, a general from the Xidi army launched a surprise attack, striking down a warrior from the bronze war chariot. The red-robed martial general, realizing that his subordinate had been ambushed and that there was a breach in their defensive formation, let out a loud roar. With a swift motion of his hand, a crimson flame long sword erupted from his arm.

Apart from these matters, Wang Fo'er's greatest achievement in recent days has been finally understanding the usage of the corpse-controlling copper ring. With the protection of two major corpse soldiers, he is barely managing to stay safe.

The six prefectures and twenty-two counties of Lingzhou, apart from Lingzhou City, have been ravaged by the flames of war in a thorough and unrestrained manner. The population has decreased by sixty percent compared to a year ago, with the number of deaths approaching that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period

The Great Qian Dynasty has been established for three thousand years, divided into sixteen towns and forty-eight states according to ancient customs. Based on Wang Fo'er’s limited historical perspective, it seems we have now reached the end of the dynasty, characterized by a succession of incompetent rulers, widespread chaos, and a time of great suffering for the people.

This copper ring, once stained with the blood of a person on the brink of death, can transform the individual into a corpse soldier. By possessing this copper ring, one can manipulate the corpse soldiers at will

Occasionally, the leading general on the copper chariot would thrust a spear into the enemy's body, causing the flames and long tassels on the spear to vanish. The person who was pierced would explode with an intensity akin to being buried under dozens of pounds of explosives, instantly tearing their entire body apart with an extremely fierce barrage of fire.

In other places, there is not much effective information about Wang Fo'er. In Lingzhou, various forces are currently vying for power. The representatives of the officials and soldiers of the Lingzhou Governor of the Great Qian Dynasty are facing off against a group of rebels known as the bandits, who claim to be the army of the Great Liang King. The troops led by the Fire Ape General of the Western Di are engaged in fierce battles with the main forces of a general from the Great Qian Dynasty.

A shadowy figure, struck by the blade's energy wave just moments ago, was violently sent flying two to three hundred meters away, landing in the woods outside the battlefield

It truly is a thousand miles without the crowing of a rooster

The people of the Great Qian Dynasty are generally tall, meeting the standards for NBA drafts according to Earth measurements. In contrast, every individual from the Xidi tribes can attend a Halloween ball without the need for costumes.

Having chewed on the roots and stems of an unknown plant, Wang Fo'er muttered indistinctly, lowering his voice to curse vehemently

I can't believe it, is my body truly a natural talent for martial arts

The chickens referred to here are the kind of flightless birds, not some immoral profession associated with books. Otherwise, if Lingzhou could abolish even such an ancient profession, it would become a model city of morality rather than a war-torn area

However, executing this move clearly requires a great deal of energy, and the red-robed general immediately appeared somewhat strained, failing to break through the encirclement with the momentum of a raging tide

After the enemy is blown to pieces, the flame long whip will leap out from within and reattach itself to the tip of the spear held by the general

Most remarkably, after several verifications and ruling out the possibility of being overly sensitive, he discovered a faintly chilling current within his body that would occasionally activate, circulating through several specific meridians. Each time this sign appeared, he would experience a temporary surge in strength and an explosive increase in speed

Despite the differences in physique, the combat strength of the Xidi warriors is not inferior to that of the soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty

On the copper chariot, there appeared to be only about ten people, but the one at the forefront was clad in bright red armor, resembling flames encircling his body. The long spear in his hand emitted a red glow, and where the spear tip should have been, there was a mass of flame shaped like a strange beast, shrieking mournfully. Every person struck by this general's spear would erupt in intense flames, completely engulfing them.

Not far in front of him, there were thousands of soldiers besieging a massive copper chariot pulled by eight monstrous beasts. The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and Wang Fo'er, watching the spectacle from the woods several miles away, naturally did not dare to make a sound.

He is already able to barely distinguish the origins of the troops on both sides. The besieging forces are clearly the army of the Western Di, as they are much shorter than the people of the Great Qian Dynasty. Each has distinct features, indicating they are not of the same race. The generals on the bronze war chariots are undoubtedly important figures of the Great Qian Dynasty

However, today the generals of the Great Qian Dynasty they surrounded possess astonishing individual combat strength, making it impossible to contend with the enemy even with a force that is two to three hundred times greater.

The first time he was thrown against the wall by a soldier from the chaotic army, although it hurt for a while, he was unscathed. Wang Fo'er thought it was luck. Later, he was chased by two large corpse soldiers and ran for over 10 miles in one breath. At that moment, he felt it was due to the adrenaline surge in a moment of crisis. In his previous life as a student, he could barely run 1,000 meters without gasping for breath, and after running, his tongue was longer than a dog's.
