Chapter 2179: Chapter 2176: The Second Level

"Great Marshal!" The loyal guards of the Great Marshal were filled with rage and sorrow: "Great Marshal, we will follow you to the end!"

Swish, swish, swish! Those severely injured warriors also followed the Great Marshal’s lead and committed suicide.

"Loyal men indeed!" The Commander of Wolf Kingdom watched this scene in silence: "We won because of the overall situation, but we haven’t truly defeated Chen Kingdom! The emperor’s path to ruling the world still has a long way to go!"

"Killing one person is easy, destroying a country is easy too, but to cut off their roots and annihilate their soul is incredibly difficult!" The Jade-faced Killing God, Leng Zhanjun, sighed.

"Ling Feng, Chen Kingdom’s fall is inevitable, resisting is futile! Our Wolf Kingdom always values warriors and cherishes talent. If you switch allegiance, I promise you great achievements!" Seeing only Ling Feng remaining, Leng Zhanjun couldn’t help but speak.

For Ling Feng, he truly felt admiration for his talent; it was rare to meet someone who matched him in skill. He couldn’t bear to see him die young.

Ling Feng took a breath and looked up at the sky; it was very blue, and the clouds were very white.

"So inappropriate..." Ling Feng muttered: "Shouldn’t there be a storm right now? It’s truly a pity!"

Then, Ling Feng took a deep breath, looked at Leng Zhanjun: "Thank you for your kind offer, but I’m someone with principles. Since I’m a person of Chen Kingdom now, I will never surrender to invaders!"

"Moreover, I have my own principles, I won’t die by my own hand!" Ling Feng’s hand shook, and the long spear was in his hand: "Even if I die, I’ll die on the path of battle! You have an army of a hundred thousand, let’s see if you can kill me here!"

With those words, Ling Feng held his spear and charged towards the endless enemy ranks.

"What a pity!" The Commander of Wolf Kingdom said regretfully: "Such a young genius can’t be used by us! But it doesn’t matter, Chen Kingdom is the final obstacle. Once it’s cleared, our mission is complete."

"Kill, kill, kill!" Ling Feng’s face was stern, ending the lives of vibrant bodies under his spear.

Soon, bodies surrounded Ling Feng, numbering over a hundred, but to tens of thousands of troops, it was insignificant, unable to stir any waves.

"Ling Feng, we didn’t have a winner the last two times. Let’s fight again!" The Jade-faced Killing God, Leng Zhanjun, shouted and rushed at Ling Feng once more.

Ling Feng snorted coldly and engaged in battle with him.

"Brother Ling, why persist this way? Chen Kingdom will eventually be part of Wolf Kingdom; surrendering isn’t really surrendering to the enemy!" Leng Zhanjun couldn’t help but say again.

Ling Feng replied indifferently: "Battling me and still distracted? Do you think your life is too long?"

Three successive spear thrusts, each fatal, forced Leng Zhanjun to retreat.

"How has your strength become so strong?" Leng Zhanjun showed a hint of surprise.

Ling Feng took a deep breath: "Because now, I have no need to hold back anymore. You’re not my match, you all should attack together!"

Leng Zhanjun’s face showed some defeat; he knew he couldn’t persuade Ling Feng, and... they didn’t have absolute confidence to capture Ling Feng.

"All of you attack together. Since we can’t capture him alive, kill him!" The Commander of Wolf Kingdom said calmly: "Good talent like precious jade, if not used by us, has no necessary reason to live!"

Another wave of enemy soldiers surged forward, and Ling Feng, like an emotionless God of Slaughter, continued to kill enemies relentlessly, even as wounds began appearing on himself.

During the fierce battle, Ling Feng felt something strange; he didn’t even know the meaning of his fight—was it for Chen Kingdom? His own beliefs? Or his integrity?

Ling Feng didn’t understand, but the only thing he knew was that his heart told him not to retreat, to fight on to the last second, regardless!

The ending was already determined; individual strength couldn’t change the tide of history. After slaying over a thousand, Ling Feng became exhausted and depleted.

"You are a warrior worthy of respect; the battlefield is your true resting place!" When Ling Feng could barely stand, Leng Zhanjun approached: "As your opponent, I’ll escort you one last time!"

Ling Feng’s lips moved but he said nothing.

The Jade-faced Killing God’s hand waved, the longsword pierced through Ling Feng’s chest, and Ling Feng slowly closed his eyes.

When Ling Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself standing at the entrance of the first level of the Sky-reaching Tower.

"Did I pass the first level’s test?" Ling Feng paused for a moment, then shook his head, took a deep breath, and headed to the second level.

Upon reaching the second level, Ling Feng found himself trapped in another Illusory Realm.

"Heavens, run quickly, the demon is out to eat folks!"

"My child, please save my child, my child has been taken by the demon!"

"Even the exorcist was killed; this demon is stronger than before; our village is doomed!"

...

Watching everyone fleeing in panic, Ling Feng stood dumbly.

"Young lad, what are you doing here? Your master was killed; shouldn’t you hurry and leave?" An elder looked at the dazed Ling Feng, urgently said.

Ling Feng held his head; memories rushed into his mind; only then did he realize that the exorcist being referred to was his own master.

"A monster? What kind of monster is it?" Ling Feng took a deep breath and didn’t flee with the crowd but continued to walk forward.

"Young brother, you’re the master exorcist’s disciple; you must battle the demons too, please save my child! She’s only five, just five years old!" A woman fell at Ling Feng’s feet, crying.

Ling Feng nodded: "Don’t worry, sister, I’ll go find the demon now!"

With that, Ling Feng continued to walk forward.

When Ling Feng reached the village, he saw a giant Monster Beast lying before the village, with a headless corpse ahead, whose attire matched that of his dear master.

Beside the Monster Beast, a five-year-old girl was crying loudly, while the Monster Beast watched her mockingly.

"Eh? Another one with a death wish!" The Monster Beast saw Ling Feng, grinned and chuckled: "Kid, your master has already had his head twisted off by me, yet you dare come?"

Ling Feng stood still: "Give up the girl, and I’ll spare your life!"

"Haha, so laughable, hand over the girl, spare my life? Who do you think you are?" The Monster Beast laughed boisterously: "You’re so funny; I’m going to eat this girl now, what can you do to me? Annoyed?"
