Zhang Yan brought Luo Chen into the tent. The moment he entered the tent, he realized that the tent was filled with excited faces. At first glance, Weng Yuhong wasn't there, but Third Young Master Hua was staring at him.
On the way, Zhang Yan had already told Luo Chen that Hua Sheng, the head of the Hua family, had three sons. The eldest son, Hua Tianyang, was a warrior at the peak of the eighth sky of the Houtian Realm. He was currently the deputy commander of the garrison in Tianhua City. It was said that this son was proficient in the art of war, but he was still lacking in experience and needed to be trained.
His second son, Hua Tianyue, had studied in the Hundred Thousand Mountains like Luo Chen. He had joined another sect, the Sword Moon Sect. It was said that he had already reached the peak of the Seventh Heaven of the Postnatal Realm at the age of twenty-four.
The two sons of the Hua Clan were both dragons and phoenixes among men. Only the third son, Hua Tianxing, was more inferior.
Hua Tianxing's cultivation base was not too far behind others. Of course, he was not considered a genius. However, he was very famous in Tianhua City for his bullying.
"Hua Tianxing is indeed difficult to achieve.”Seeing Hua Tianxing's hateful expression, Luo Chen couldn't help but think.
And when he saw everyone's expressions of surviving a calamity, Luo Chen felt even more emotional: "The Sha Family Army is too famous. I believe that no one would think that they could survive when facing them.”"Yan 'er, who is this?" A middle-aged man called out.”
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a man with a dignified face. His tall and straight body emitted a faint heat. Clearly, he was a strong person who cultivated a fire-type cultivation technique.
Upon closer inspection, this man's face was 70% to 80% similar to Zhang Yan's.
Zhang Yan bowed respectfully to the man.""Father, this is my brother Luo Chen. He was worried about my safety and specially came to the battlefield to find me.”
"Hmm?" The man pondered for a moment," Brother Luo Chen is indeed loyal. Moreover, he has the cultivation of Houtian seventh sky at such a young age. He's much stronger than my weak child.”
Luo Chen wasn't surprised that the man could see his cultivation level, because he felt that the man was slightly stronger than him.
Instead, the man's words shocked everyone.
It was not that there had never been geniuses in the Nine Provinces, but geniuses were too far away from them.
Now, Luo Chen's appearance told everyone that he was definitely not old. This child actually had the cultivation of Houtian seventh sky, this was hard to accept.
"Lord Zhang, you flatter me. It was only by accident and a little luck that I broke through.”Luo Chen was unhappy.
This Zhang Yan's father should know the consequences of his words. Even Luo Chen knew that a tall tree would attract the wind, but why did the head of the Zhang family seem to not understand?
But when he thought about it, hadn't he decided to face all the challenges head-on? What was there to be afraid of?
"Father…no, City Lord, we are discussing military matters here. It doesn't seem right for brother Luo Chen to be here.”Hua Tianxing stared at Luo Chen.
He was unhappy that Luo Chen was inferior to him.
"I'm a lowly person." Luo Chen shook his head in his heart," Using the method of chasing me out of the big tent to gain a sense of accomplishment, you are destined to never improve in your entire life. If you have the ability, then you can really beat me."”
Hua Tianxing greeted an old man. He looked to be in his sixties, but his eyes were not cloudy. Instead, they were full of vigor.
He didn't say anything and waited for the other two to speak first.
Without any explanation, the other two must be the City Lords of Heaven Heart and Sky Oasis.
The three city lords joined forces to fight. If they chased away a rebel army that had already entered the tent at the request of their own children, it would be too cold.
"Third young master Hua's words are wrong. My brother Luo Chen is stronger than some people, but some people can stay here because of their status. Why can't my brother Luo Chen stay here because of his true ability?”Zhang Yan mocked in dissatisfaction.
Although the Zhang and Hua families were both big families in the same city, he still understood the scheming of the upper echelons.
Zhang Yan was much more capable than Hua Tianxing. At least he knew how to build a good relationship with the Weng family, unlike Hua Tianxing, who only knew how to bully men and women and left behind a bad reputation.
"You…what do you mean?" Hua Tianxing heard the sourness in Zhang Yan's words and was furious.
"What I mean is that I, Brother Luo Chen, have more qualifications to stay here than some people. If some people are not convinced, you can speak with your true martial arts.”Zhang Yan said firmly, but he added,"Of course, I can understand and sympathize with some people who don't want to humiliate themselves and choose to be cowards.”
"Yan 'er, don't spout nonsense." The head of the Zhang Clan suddenly shouted," How could Nephew Hua be so timid and not dare to challenge? He was only thinking about the big picture. Quickly apologize to Nephew Hua for your rudeness."”
Zhang Yan naturally had to listen to his father's orders. He cupped his fists unhurriedly and said,"I'm sorry, someone."
Seeing Hua Tianxing's expression change from anger, Luo Chen couldn't help but shout in his heart: "How vicious! This father and son of the Zhang family are too vicious!”
In the beginning, Luo Chen was still puzzled by Zhang Yan's father's revelation of his cultivation level. Logically speaking, such a high ranking person wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
Now, anyone could tell that he had a good relationship with Zhang Yan, and it was possible that he had made friends with the Zhang family.
And he did have a certain ability, and his ability was a little dazzling. Why would Zhang Yan's father expose him so early?
Now, he understood that this pair of father and son were echoing each other. Together with Zhang Yan's father's earlier actions, it was nothing more than to increase the Zhang family's reputation.
Secondly, the most important thing was to make the Hua family's reputation fall.
Hua Tianxing and his second son were both dragons and phoenixes among men. If they were to start from the younger generation, they could only choose Hua Tianxing, this hothead.
Hua Sheng also seemed to realize the deep meaning of the father and son of the Zhang family and immediately smiled."Brother Hua, you don't need to blame me. Nephew Zhang Yan is a straightforward person.”
After he finished speaking, Hua Sheng swept his gaze across everyone." Alright, now that the Sha Clan's rebel army has been exterminated, let's calculate our losses. This battle must have caused the various cities at the borders of Tianwu to suffer quite a bit.”
With this order, everyone entered a meeting state.
The secretaries and officials were still busy at the side. All the big shots were waiting. Finally, there was a result.
A secretary stepped forward." Reporting to my lords, our army has 15,000 soldiers. Together with the 5,000 volunteer soldiers sent by the various sects and clans, we have lost 20,000 men. After the battle, we lost 13,000 men and more than 3,000 warhorses.”
Hearing this number, everyone's heart ached.
The representatives of the Revolutionary Army were heartbroken by the loss of their own disciples, while the representatives of the City Lords were heartbroken by the loss of their warhorses.
The Tianwu Kingdom and even the Central Plains did not produce warhorses. It took the three cities several years to purchase less than 5,000 warhorses. Now, more than half of them were lost in one battle?
This number made one's heart turn cold.
"How are their losses?" Hua Sheng pondered for a moment and asked again.
The official immediately opened the account book and said,""A total of 2,100 enemies came, of which 2,000 were from the Wild Sand Legion, and 1,827 were killed. The remaining 100 were from the Tiger Cavalry led by Shuang Sha, which lost 86 people, and 83 of the 86 Coin Striped Tigers were killed.”
This number was not only shocking, but also humiliating.
When Sha Zhenhu's Wild Sand Legion set off from the capital, there were only 3,000 of them. They had fought countless battles along the way and had long run out of ammunition and food. It was said that none of the Sha Family Army's armor was complete. Their sabers were full of blades, and the tips of their spears were either bent or blunt.
During the two days of setting up the formation, the soldiers of the Wild Sand Legion relied on drinking the water of the Tianliang River and digging up tree roots and bark to survive.
On the other hand, his side was recuperating and preparing for battle, and their supplies were even more complete.
However, under such a huge difference in innate conditions, the other party actually killed more than 10,000 of their own people?
This was a humiliating number. The martial arts culture in the Central Plains was very strong. No one present could accept this result.
The clerk saw that the big shots above did not look good and immediately added,"Tiger God Sha Zhenhu died on the spot, not even his bones remained.”
This was a shocking piece of news. At the very least, when this news was released, everyone forgot the shame they felt when they heard the number of losses.
"Which expert could actually kill the Tiger God?”Hua Sheng asked anxiously. He knew that there was absolutely no expert in the army who could kill Sha Zhenhu.
Therefore, he immediately looked at the representatives of the various sects and families.
All the sects and families lowered their heads. They had not put in any effort in this battle, so they did not have the face to respond to Hua Sheng's gaze.
The clerk took two steps forward and stole a glance at Luo Chen, saying,""City Lord, everyone, it was this righteous warrior Luo Chen who killed the Tiger God.”
"It's him?" Hua Sheng looked at Luo Chen in shock.
"It's him?" The viciousness in Hua Tianxing's eyes became even stronger. He could not believe it.
"It's him?" Everyone had an unacceptable attitude.
If one were to say that Luo Chen was a genius to be able to reach the peak of Houtian seventh sky at his age, then for him to be able to kill Sha Zhenhu, who was known as the Tiger God, on the battlefield with such a cultivation level proved that other than being a genius, he was also a natural born martial artist.
Sha Zhenhu was a man of many origins. At the age of fifteen, he joined the army and made countless military achievements.
Under the protection of the Iron Qin Empire, most of the generals had already become corrupted and had become proficient in research. Only he was still able to lead the army. His Wild Sand Legion was the strongest force in the country.
Over the years, there had been many incidents of banditry in the country. Fifteen years ago, there was even a rebellion on Great Martial Mountain, which was said to have 100,000 bandits. It was also him who led 10,000 elite soldiers to wipe out all the bandits in the entire Great Martial Mountain. In that battle, the Wild Sand Legion lost 9,700 soldiers and was almost completely wiped out.
Such a character was actually killed by a young man, a mere warrior at the seventh sky of the Houtian Realm?
"Brother Luo Chen, did you really do it?”Although Zhang Yan knew that Luo Chen was strong, he still didn't dare to believe that he was this strong.
Luo Chen calmly nodded and replied,""Yes, I did."
