The heavy clouds hung low, and the wind howled angrily. The tornado reached the sky, and waves surged.
The world-destroying scene shocked everyone on both sides into retreating, not daring to approach the battlefield.
Although Lu Longchuan and the others were battle hardened veterans, they had never seen such a scene before. They were also frightened and hurriedly retreated.
The people from the Heavenly King Stronghold in the pass threw down their helmets and armor and hurriedly went down to take refuge. For a moment, the city wall was in a mess, and almost everyone had left. The fleet of the Dragon King Stronghold on the water also hurriedly pulled their oars and retreated, afraid that they would be sucked in by the “azure dragon”.
From afar, both sides only saw Chen Feng jump onto the wall with all his might and crash into the tornado.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Immediately after, the sound of fighting continuously sounded.
Because of the strong wind, it was difficult for everyone to open their eyes. Moreover, the sky was dark, and there were several twisters blocking their vision. No one could see how the two of them were fighting at all. They could only listen to the huge commotion and could not help but imagine scenes of a fierce battle.
In the pass, the leaders of the Heavenly King Stronghold hid behind the fortifications to take refuge from the wind. From time to time, they would poke their heads out to take a look at the howling tornado.
“Immortal techniques, it’s really an immortal technique!”
Sun Rong muttered in shock.
“Perfected Master Windwalker’s divine powers are shocking. It’s really the Imperial Court’s fortune to have such an immortal master… And to think Chen Feng can actually fight against him. It’s simply unbelievable!”
Lu Longchuan’s heart trembled as he muttered to himself.
The faces of the leaders of the Heavenly King Stronghold had long turned pale with shock and fear.
Originally, many leaders secretly felt that it was a little childish for the commander and the military advisor to believe in rumors and invite a Daoist to accompany the army.
However, at this moment, they only felt a lingering fear. They were glad that they had persuaded this immortal to come out and aid them. Otherwise, how could they fight against Chen Feng, who was like a demon lord in the mortal world? Wouldn’t they be slaughtered without a recognizable body part?!
Lu Longchuan and the others were unable to help and could not see the situation clearly. At this moment, all they could do was wait anxiously, worried about gains and losses.
The scene of wind and waves lashing lasted for about two hours before gradually calming down.
As the wind stopped and the waves calmed, the sky gradually cleared.
Only then did the people from both sides dare to stick their heads out to observe carefully and anxiously look at the situation.
Immediately, both sides saw Perfected Master Windwalker hovering in the sky. Chen Feng’s upper body was exposed in the water as he faced him from afar below.
Just as everyone was curious about who would win and who would lose, Perfected Master Windwalker suddenly spoke out in a clear voice.
“Today, this Daoist has really broadened my horizons. Chen Chen’s has a peerless divine power, and your body has been tempered thousands of times. As expected of the number one in the world. In the path of martial arts, you’re really a peerless genius.”
Chen Feng replied loudly, “I’ve never seen a Perfected One’s divine power in my life. You’re really unparalleled. Among the experts in the world, only you are worthy of fighting me!”
Zhou Jing smiled, “How about we call this a draw?”
The corners of Chen Feng’s mouth curled up, “Alright, let’s call a truce today. I’ll slowly compete with you in the future!”
Their shouts spread far and wide, causing many people present to hear them.
Before anyone could react, the two of them returned to their respective formations. Chen Feng swam quickly in the water, dragging a white line as he jumped back into the Dragon King Stronghold’s fortress ship, while Zhou Jing landed on the wall of the pass.
Seeing this, Lu Longchuan and the others hurriedly went forward in surprise.
“Perfected One, this is…”
Zhou Jing stopped smiling and quickly formed hand seals. After taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke,
“I’ve exhausted a lot of my power. If we continue fighting, I’m afraid I won’t be able to subdue this person.”
“Huh? Even a divine being like the Perfected One is actually not Chen Feng’s match?!”
The expressions of Lu Longchuan and the others changed. For a moment, they panicked, not knowing what to do.
Zhou Jing shook his head and deliberated a bit, before he summarized the situation,
“However, I’m good at riding the wind. Chen Feng can’t do anything to me either.”
“I see.”
When Lu Longchuan heard this, he felt a little relieved.
If even such an expert who commanded the wind could not defeat Chen Feng, he really did not know how to fight this battle.
Lu Longchuan was however still a little nervous. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked carefully,
“In your opinion, what should we do now?”
“I don’t think the other party will attack. Why don’t we retreat?” Zhou Jing said casually. Then, he laughed, “Commander Lu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He can just give the orders. Why ask me, a Daoist who doesn’t know anything about military matters?”
“Oh… Alright, listen up, generals. Rectify the various divisions and temporarily withdraw the troops.”
Lu Longchuan hurriedly ordered.
As the commander, he did not intend to let Perfected Master Windwalker participate in the decision-making. However, now that he saw that this person’s methods far exceeded his imagination, he could not help but ask him subconsciously, not daring to ignore his opinion.
The other leaders of the Heavenly King Stronghold were even more respectful of Perfected Master Windwalker now. They did not even dare to look him in the eye.
Although they were experienced and knowledgeable people within the Green Forest, they still felt nervous and afraid in the face of such a powerful person who could easily stir up a violent wind and had extraordinary magic power. They were instinctively afraid of such incomprehensible methods.
As for the surrounding soldiers of the Heavenly King Stronghold, they even wanted to kneel on the ground. All of them were in fear and trepidation and had long considered Perfected Master Windwalker as the equivalent to an immortal.
Looking at everyone’s reaction, Zhou Jing’s face was calm, but he smiled to himself.
The effect of this battle was obvious. It seemed that he had managed to suppress and hold the situation.
In fact, he and Chen Feng had almost never fought in close combat, but he had specially made a shocking scene, as if the battle was extremely intense. No one would suspect that the two of them were acting.
He deliberately acted in front of the troops of both sides to strengthen the image of the two apostles. They cooperated and raised each other’s value. The effect was not bad.
