Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 142 The imperial decree arrives, another reward
Such a spectacle once again stunned everyone.

Even Yun Xuan was a little dazed, but before he had time to think about it, he gathered his strength and slashed out with a sword.

This time he used [-]% of his strength.

"boom!"

Shocking noise.

Lu Fan and Yun Xuan flew upside down at the same time, and stabilized their bodies in the air almost at the same time.

Look at each other from a distance.

Yun Xuan couldn't hide his surprise.

He obviously used [-]% of his strength, but he was evenly matched with the opponent?

What kind of knife is this?
Heaven step?

It should be.

Even reached perfection.

Otherwise, it would not be possible to have such a great power.

No wonder so confident!
Not to mention possessing heaven-level martial arts at a young age, he has also practiced to perfection.

Whether it is luck or talent, it is too amazing.

Without allowing Yunxuan to think too much, Lu Fan swung his knife and slashed again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

The two continued to fight recklessly, but they were still evenly matched.

One hundred moves, two hundred moves, three hundred moves...

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

Lu Fan and Yun Xuan were still tied.

"it is good."

In the direction where the Chu Army and the Great Zhou Army were located, there were cheers.

In recent days, they have been feasting their eyes.

And, every day is getting better and better.

It's fun to watch!

They even forgot the distinction between the enemy and the enemy, and just wanted to cheer for Lu Fan and Yun Xuan.

Both Lu Fan and Yun Xuan have won their respect.

Let many people feel sincere admiration.

too strong!
"Let's stop here, let's compete again in the afternoon."

Lu Fan put away the knife, turned around and walked towards the Da Zhou military camp.

He had already seen that Yun Xuan still had reservations.

Although his strength has skyrocketed now, it is still difficult to win against the opponent.

Even if it is more expensive, it will be difficult for him to kill the opponent in a short while.

Then there is only one way left.

add a bit!

Upgrade Taoism!

As long as he upgrades the Kung Fu Dao Jing to another level, he can advance to the three innate realms.

At that time, his strength will be greatly improved.

He could almost beat Yunxuan.

Just right, the assignable attribute points are enough for upgrades.

After going back for lunch, he will immediately increase his cultivation, and after his cultivation is stable, he will challenge Yunxuan again.

At that time, he had a better chance of winning.

Lu Fan walked while thinking, and quickly returned to his camp.

He saw an acquaintance.

"Lord Lu, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your strength has improved by leaps and bounds again."

Gao Wancheng stepped forward to say hello, "It's really enviable and admirable."

"you flatter me."

Lu Fan said a few words politely, and asked, "Why is Mr. Gao here?"

"The emperor has a decree for you."

While speaking, Gao Wancheng took out the imperial decree and read aloud: "Lu Fan, the deputy commander of the Zhennan Army, is brave and courageous, and has an extraordinary strategy. He has turned the tide for my Great Zhou, and has made countless military exploits."

"Specially seal Lu Fan as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, commanding the Southeast Army, the Zhennan Army, the Southwest Army, and the commander of the Dragon Shadow Guard. He will also be granted the title of Zhennan Gong, a reward of 5 taels, [-] households in the food town, and [-] hectares of fertile land."

"And add the title of Taibao, and receive 50 military exploits."

"Specially bestow a book of heaven-level martial arts."

After reading, Gao Wancheng said with a smile: "Master Lu, accept the order."

"The minister accepts the order."

Lu Fan took the imperial decree and said politely: "Master Gao has worked hard, please come inside."

"Not urgent."

Gao Wancheng took out a book of exercises and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is specially prepared by the emperor for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Fan took the exercise and took a look, only to see four big characters written on it: "Xuanbing Spear Technique."

It turned out to be marksmanship?
Lu Fan was overjoyed.

On the battlefield, although the power of the knife is extremely strong, he especially likes the spear.

Especially after he got the Cold Iron Spear, he always wanted to have a worthy marksmanship.

Now finally.

And it's still a sky-level marksmanship.

"Master Lu, congratulations."

"From now on, you will be the commander-in-chief of our armed forces, and we are all your subordinates."

"You have to take care of Master Qing Lu."

Everyone came forward to congratulate.

Lu Fan responded with a smile, he was in a good mood at the moment.

Gao Wancheng came at the right time.

With this heaven-level marksmanship book, he is not in a hurry to add points.

It happened that Yunxuan was the whetstone, so he could quickly improve his understanding of marksmanship.

So as to quickly increase the strength.

I believe it won't be long before he can defeat Yunxuan.

Still without adding points.

"My lords."

Gao Wancheng clasped his fists at everyone, "Actually, the emperor has rewards for each of you, but due to the tension of the war, the emperor did not have time to issue an order, so he asked me to tell you that when you return to the capital, the emperor will personally celebrate for you. Time cannot do without your credit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone cupped their fists in return, "Thank you, Mr. Gao."

"Okay, let's all go in."

Lu Fan stepped forward.

"Yes."

The crowd followed.

In the past, they were at the same level as Lu Fan, but now, they are all Lu Fan's subordinates.

He couldn't help but respect Lu Fan again.

Back at the camp, it was time for dinner.

Everyone sat around together, there were only a few dishes on the table, each with a bowl of rice.

"Master Gao, the hospitality is not good."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You have worked hard from afar, but you don't have good food and wine to entertain you, so you can only eat this with us."

"It's okay."

Gao Wancheng didn't care, "I just ate dry food on the road, and I'm satisfied with a bite of hot rice."

"By the way, what's the current situation in the capital?"

Lu Fan asked the question everyone was most concerned about: "Can the northern border be defended?"

"The capital is still doing well."

Gao Wancheng sighed suddenly, "It's just that the situation in the northern border is not good. I heard that the State of Wei has stepped up its offensive, and the two countries of Xia and Yan are also increasing their troops."

"In my opinion, the northern border cannot be defended."

"It is possible to be captured by the enemy at any time, and thus drive straight into our Great Zhou capital."

"Under heavy siege, the capital of Great Zhou will be in a desperate situation."

"It can be said that Da Zhou's hope now rests entirely on you."

"Only if you conquer Chu as soon as possible, and then move your troops northward, can you break the siege of the capital."

Speaking of this, Gao Wancheng glanced at Lu Fan, "The reason why His Majesty asked you to come to you at all costs is to deliver the Heavenly Rank Kungfu to you as soon as possible, so as to improve your strength as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty hopes that you can pacify Chu State as soon as possible, and take this opportunity to reverse the entire situation."

"Of course, it's useless to worry."

"After all, with Yunxuan around, even if you have a heaven-level martial skill, you may not be able to defeat him in a while."

"So, Your Majesty said, if you really can't take Jinyu City, you should withdraw your troops for now and return to the capital first."

Gao Wancheng sighed, "It's not appropriate to stay here for too long."

"I see."

Lu Fan nodded and asked, "Has Your Majesty given the time?"

"Within a month."

Gao Wancheng thought for a while and said, "It's been almost ten days since I left Beijing. In other words, you still have more than 20 days. Regardless of whether you can take Jinyu City or not, you have to withdraw your troops and go back to support the capital."

"Okay, I see."

Lu Fan had already thought about it in his heart.

More than 20 days is enough for him.

After dinner, Gao Wancheng didn't stay for too long, took the local level body training technique, took his leave and left.

Lu Fan returned to the camp, sat down, and carefully looked at the Xuanbing marksmanship.

Needless to say the power of this set of marksmanship, but more importantly, the marksmanship has its own ice attribute.

That is to say, through the operation of marksmanship, one's own spiritual power can be penetrated into it, and the spiritual power can be transformed into an ice attribute attack.

Has a freezing effect.

The higher the proficiency in marksmanship, the stronger one's own spiritual power, and the wider the freezing range.

The effect will also be better.

Especially suitable for one against many.

If you can practice this set of marksmanship to perfection, you won't be afraid even if you are surrounded by many people.

Go out and try it!

Lu Fan put away the exercises, picked up the cold iron gun, and went outside the tent.

His wrist trembled slightly, and the tip of the gun trembled accordingly.

Groups of ice mist drifted out, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

"Okay!"

Lu Fan was overjoyed, the Xuanbing Spear combined with the Cold Iron Spear was a perfect match.

Increase the power of marksmanship.

After only practicing for a while, Lu Fan has already started.

Just in time, I borrowed Yunxuan to practice guns in the afternoon.

Lu Fan didn't bring anything, only the cold iron gun, and left the camp.

The crowd hurried out.

They were also very curious about the power of the Xuanbing spear technique.

Lu Fan held his gun and walked towards Jinyu City unhurriedly.

The Chu soldiers on the city wall were all stunned.

"Why did Lu Fan change his gun?"

"Yes."

"it's wired."

"Could it be that his marksmanship is better?"

"how is this possible?"

"That's right, his sword skills are already strong enough, how can he improve his marksmanship to an even better level?"

"Like swords and guns, it takes a long time to practice. No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to practice well in a short time."

Everyone looked at Lu Fan and talked a lot.

They were all curious about Lu Fan's marksmanship?

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yun Xuan opened his eyes and saw Lu Fan holding a cold iron gun, he was also taken aback for a moment.

Is it necessary to give up the heavenly perfect sword technique?
Switch to marksmanship?

What is the intention?

Thinking of this, he stood up, faced Lu Fan, and asked, "Why don't you use a knife?"

"Recently, the marksmanship is a bit rusty."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Just take this opportunity to polish it."

"Ok?"

Yun Xuan was slightly annoyed, thinking that he had become the opponent's whetstone?

In the end, he achieved the other party, but he was trampled underfoot?

Picture what?
Lu Fan glanced at Yun Xuan's expression, secretly happy in his heart.

He just wanted to piss each other off.

As long as Yunxuan's mentality changes, his strength will inevitably be affected.

In this way, Lu Fan can better look for chances of winning.

"call!"

Lu Fan shot out casually, and clouds of ice mist drifted towards Yunxuan.

With a bone-chilling coldness.

Sensing the changes around his body, Yun Xuan instantly understood that Lu Fan's marksmanship had its own ice attribute.

Could it be heaven-level marksmanship?
A person actually has two kinds of martial arts at the same time?

How can it be?

Before he had time to think about it, Yun Xuan swung his sword lightly.

Silently.

But the icy mist dissipated.

Lu Fan was not surprised.

He came to practice guns today, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses.

Gao Wancheng's arrival made him change his mind.

He planned to wait a few days for the decisive battle that was originally scheduled for today.

First try to improve the Xuanbing spear technique, see the effect, and then decide what to do next.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan's wrist trembled slightly, and countless spear flowers floated out.

Every gun flower carries a bone-chilling chill.

At the same time, clusters of ice mist were attached to Gun Flower.

Like ice flowers blooming around Lu Fan's body.

Crystal clear, very moving.

But it is so strange that people dare not look directly at it.

"Shh!"

Sword light flashed.

Yun Xuan still swung his sword lightly, and countless ice flowers were smashed to pieces, turning into ice shards flying all over the sky, shining brightly under the direct sunlight.

The wind picked up, and the ice chips all over the sky rushed towards Yunxuan with the wind.

Yun Xuan swung his sword again.

With a snort, the ice shards dissipated.

But then, Lu Fan's wrist trembled slightly, and countless ice flowers bloomed again.

Yun Xuan frowned.

This set of marksmanship is extremely exquisite, especially after taking the initiative, the offensive will continue continuously.

If it is just passive defense, the consumption is too high.

Of course, with his strength, he is naturally not afraid of consumption.

But obviously, Lu Fan's attainment in this set of marksmanship is still far behind.

When Lu Fan practiced this set of marksmanship to perfection, even he couldn't bear such consumption.

No wonder the other party wants to use him to polish their marksmanship, is this trying to use his hand to defeat him again?

It's really a good plan!

Yun Xuan was even more angry, and he slashed out with the sword in his hand.

"boom!"

Countless ice flowers turned into nothingness in an instant.

Not even the scum is left.

Yun Xuan just felt much more relaxed.

During the recent period, he was aggrieved.

Moreover, as Lu Fan's strength continued to improve, his pressure increased sharply.

Today is a good opportunity to vent out.

Otherwise, it will always be held in his heart, which will affect his Dao heart.

"it is good!"

Thunderous cheers resounded from the walls.

The soldiers of the Chu State seemed to be able to feel Yun Xuan's mood, so they cheered him on.

The cold iron gun in Lu Fan's hand kept slashing, and countless white ice flowers floated out continuously.

As if endless.

Like a continuous rain of flowers, it floats towards Yunxuan with the wind.

Yun Xuan swiftly drew out his sword, chopping the pieces of Huayu into countless pieces.

Then he suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards Lu Fan.

The sword light then lit up.

In the past, he always defended passively, but this was the first time he took the initiative to attack Lu Fan.

Lu Fan didn't panic at all, he knew that the other party was in a hurry.

Changes in mentality will naturally affect the sword moves.

It seems to be forceful, but the actual power may not be comparable to before.

Without any hesitation, Lu Fan met Yun Xuan's sword and slashed the cold iron spear in his hand.

Hit hard!

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Lu Fan and Yun Xuan flew backwards at the same time.

Still evenly divided.

Then the two started a confrontation.

The battle lasted until dark, and in the end no one could do anything to the other, and it ended in a draw.

……

……

Had dinner.

Lu Fan carried a cold iron gun and went outside the camp to continue to hone his marksmanship.

As the tip of the gun shook, clouds of ice mist drifted out.

The area shrouded in ice fog is constantly expanding.

The small tree not far away was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Ice shards hung all over the branches.

The freezing effect was several times stronger than that at noon.

After a long time, feeling the changes in his body, Lu Fan retracted his gun.

The Xuanbing spear technique has been upgraded, from entry level to elementary level.

Open the properties panel.

The effect brought by the upgrade is that strength increases by 16 points, agility increases by 4 points, mental power increases by 8 points, and physical strength increases by 4 points.

continue!

Lu Fan did not stop, still honing his marksmanship.

It went on until late at night.

Ye Wuchen came from not far away with his hands behind his back.

Walking around, he looks relaxed.

"Are you still asleep?"

Lu Fan retracted his gun and looked at the other party.

"Can't sleep."

Ye Wuchen shook his head lightly, "Suddenly want to talk to you."

"Okay."

Lu Fan nodded, "Let's go in and talk."

With the improvement of strength and status, there are fewer and fewer people who can talk to Lu Fan.

Ye Wuchen is undoubtedly one of them.

The two entered Lu Fan's tent and sat down facing each other.

"Are you worried?"

Lu Fan observed his words and expressions, and guessed.

"That's not it."

Ye Wuchen smiled, "I think it's time for you to start a family."

"Ok?"

Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, he couldn't help but glared at Ye Wuchen, and said perfunctorily, "Isn't it appropriate for us to talk about this in the current situation?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Ye Wuchen retorted: "The men's university should be married, and the female university's should be married. It's okay to talk about marriage at any time."

"Ok."

Lu Fan smiled and said, "Are you going to match me?"

"You will be nineteen during Chinese New Year, and it's just right for you to start a family next year."

Ye Wuchen thought for a while and said, "The current situation has stabilized. As long as you are here, no matter how difficult the future will be, there is a possibility to reverse the situation."

"So, I'm very relieved now."

"I'm very relieved to hand over my sister to you."

Speaking of this, Ye Wuchen smiled, "You have met my sister Qingyun, she has a cute personality, she doesn't talk much, let alone matter, she is perfect to marry you."

"Ye Qingyun?"

Lu Fan thought of that girl, and he really had a good impression.

Not offensive at least.

"But after all, I only met her once, and we don't know each other well. Wouldn't it be too hasty for me to promise you?"

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "What's more, I really don't want to get married, don't you too?"

"I haven't found a suitable candidate."

Ye Wuchen smiled and said, "Don't you have my sister?"

"It's okay if you don't understand."

"After the war is over, I would like to invite you to stay at my house for a while. You can get in touch with my sister more, so you can understand?"

"If you think she's not suitable, talk about it."

Ye Wuchen asked tentatively: "You have to give her a chance, right?"

"talk later."

Lu Fan evaded, "I'll wait until the war is over before I think about it."

"Row."

Ye Wuchen couldn't persuade him anymore, so he stood up and said goodbye, "I won't delay your cultivation."

"Ah."

Watching Ye Wuchen leave, Lu Fan sat down cross-legged and quickly entered the cultivation state.

While honing marksmanship, the practice of kung fu and Taoism should not be left behind.

Now is far from the time to relax.

There is no urgency to start a family.

Take your time and let it be.

……

……

Two days later, in the morning.

After breakfast, Lu Fan practiced the Xuanbing marksmanship and became more confident.

Open the properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2960
Power: 832.47
Agility: 298.85
Mental Power: 359.96
Physical strength: 737.21
Cultivation: Innate Second Realm

Exercises: Dao Jing No.12 Heavy (7200/60000)

Martial arts: The starry sky sword art is perfect, and the Xuanbing marksmanship is small (0/20)

Assignable Attribute Points: 593.45
After two days of training, the Xuanbing spear technique has been upgraded again, from elementary level to small achievement.

After upgrading, his strength increased by 32 points, his agility increased by 8 points, his mental strength increased by 16 points, and his physical strength increased by 8 points.

Coupled with the comprehension of the Xuanbing spear technique, Lu Fan's current strength has been greatly improved compared to a few days ago.

He is now confident that he can beat Yunxuan.

More importantly, eight days have passed since the ten-day deadline.

In other words, the remaining food and grass can barely last for two days.

If Jinyu City cannot be taken within two days, they can only withdraw their troops first.

At that time, it will have an impact on the morale of the Zhou army.

After all, no one wants to go to battle hungry.

Morale will directly affect the combat power of the Zhou army.

Then don't wait.

Battle today!

Completely solve the trouble of Chu State.

Lu Fan made up his mind. He specially put on black armor today, hung the Kunwu knife on his waist, hung a bow on his shoulder, and prepared a bag of special arrows.

He even brought a dagger and hundreds of chess pieces.

Well equipped.

At the same time of the decisive battle, attack the city by the way.

"The generals obey!"

Lu Fan looked around at the generals and said loudly: "Today, we are going to fight against Jinyu City!"

"Yes."

All the generals including Ye Wuchen were also dressed neatly and stood in front of Lu Fan with their hands down.

Each looked dignified and serious.

They all know the importance of today's battle.

"Still as I said before."

Lu Fan instructed: "The moment I break through the city gate, you immediately lead your troops into Jinyu City, otherwise you will stand still."

"Yes."

All the generals agreed in unison.

"set off!"

Lu Fan walked out of the camp first, and soon came to Jinyu City.

Seeing that he was fully armored and equipped with all kinds of weapons, Yun Xuan was greatly surprised, and asked in a daze, "What are you doing?"

"Since a single competition can't beat you."

Lu Fan said: "Then I will use all means to fight you to the end today!"

"Oh?"

Yun Xuan's face became a little more serious.

He felt Lu Fan's strong self-confidence and indomitable momentum, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Did Lu Fan break through again?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Even the most outstanding genius in the world is impossible to achieve consecutive promotions in just a few days.

You know, this is the innate realm.

Every time you get promoted, it is simply harder than climbing to the sky.

What is Lu Fan's reliance?
It must be the guns.

In just a few days, he witnessed the improvement of Lu Fan's marksmanship with his own eyes, and he couldn't help feeling that the young man in front of him might really be able to break through the shackles in the future, achieve extraordinary, or even a higher level.

Just as Yunxuan was thinking, the cold iron spear in Lu Fan's hand had been stabbed out, and clouds of ice mist drifted away and spread towards Yunxuan.

The bone-chilling chill made even Yun Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

He swung his sword continuously.

"Oh!"

The ice fog instantly turned into nothingness.

Lu Fan suddenly soared into the air and rushed towards Yunxuan.

In the air, the cold iron gun in his hand stabbed lightly.

Yun Xuan also swung his sword at the same time.

When the guns and swords met, there was a crisp sound.

Immediately afterwards, violent power erupted, and Lu Fan who was hit was ejected into the air.

Yun Xuan retreated more than ten steps before he stabilized his body.

Suddenly, the chill hit.

He looked down and saw that the sword in his hand was covered with frost.

"Crack!"

The frost continued to spread upward.

With a thought in Yun Xuan's mind, spiritual power came out through his body, and the frost immediately melted and dissipated.

But there was a small crack left on the sword.

Amazing!
Yun Xuan was greatly surprised. In just one day, Lu Fan's strength had increased significantly again.

In a few days, he really might not be able to stand it.

At that time, he should withdraw.

As for the outcome of the state of Chu, he was powerless to interfere.

He has tried his best, and he is naturally worthy of his heart.

Just as Yun Xuan was thinking, there was a sudden exclamation on the city wall.

"what!"

Exclamations came and went, endlessly.

Yun Xuan looked up and saw a scene he would never forget.

(End of this chapter)
