Chapter 1639: Chapter 884: Suspiciously Quiet (Part 2)

Having listened to Chen Lang’s incessant murmuring over this period of time.

The muscular man also realized that the other party was just trying to buy some time. Why were they so eager to delay, did they know that someone might come to the camp now?

The muscular man glanced around at the setup and recalled that it was for a celebration banquet. Realizing this, he angrily cursed at Chen Lang:

"So, you people just want to delay time."

The muscular man raised the spear in his hand, pointing at the soldier holding the maid beside him. The soldier holding the maid was so frightened, they trembled and leaned their head back.

At this moment, the maid held onto him more tightly.

Seeing them continuously mocking him, the muscular man decided to take firm action.

He turned to the four men behind him and said: "You, go quickly to the entrance of the camp to check."

"Yes," a laborer with a grim gaze replied to the muscular man and then walked towards the camp entrance.

Seeing everything arranged properly, the muscular man gave them a cold smile: "Hmph! Don’t think you can escape. Once we kill you, our army will march straight through, and by then, the entire Peace City will be ours!"

After saying this, the muscular man actually laughed happily.

Seeing the muscular man laughing, Chen Lang seized the opportunity to thrust his sword. The muscular man’s expression changed, and he hurriedly blocked it with his spear.

With a clang, the two weapons began to strike each other.

Then, two additional armored soldiers and the soldier holding the maid engaged with the remaining three people. The previously quiet scene became lively.

However, the people outside still couldn’t hear the commotion inside. Not only the armored soldier but even Lin Feng could only see what was happening inside through his Spiritual Sense.

Since Lin Feng had already seen the situation inside, there was no need to waste any more time. He immediately withdrew his Spiritual Sense and moved slightly.

Retracting his Spiritual Sense, Lin Feng adjusted his breathing.

Then he regained his composure and said to the armored soldier: "There’s a fight going on inside. General Chen is not yet threatened. Let’s break the Prohibition together while they are not at a disadvantage."

Lin Feng’s words were resolute, with no hesitation. The armored soldier immediately began to channel his True Yuan with Lin Feng, casting spells on the tent.

However, this Prohibition is not an ordinary Array.

Even if the two of them cast it together, it would take some time. Lin Feng could only hope that the people inside would hold out.

Once the Barrier is broken, Lin Feng and the others can enter the central camp and immediately reverse the situation!

The situation was extremely critical at that moment, so Lin Feng didn’t have much time. He could only pour all his energy into the tent.

The armored soldier, not wanting anyone in the central camp to get injured, also went all out to break the Prohibition. At this moment, a powerful energy wave surged from the palm of the armored soldier. Such a strong wave was not something an ordinary person could achieve.

With this assistance, Lin Feng obtained a special pass through the Barrier. The two worked together, significantly reducing the time needed to break the Barrier.

Lin Feng only glanced at the energy flow from the armored soldier’s hand briefly. At that moment, he didn’t think too much because time was of the essence.

In such an urgent situation, who can afford to be mindful of anything else? Even someone as meticulous as the armored soldier had to reveal his true strength, let alone Lin Feng, who is not cunning.

Though Lin Feng is not cunning, it doesn’t mean he isn’t meticulous. It’s precisely because of his meticulousness that Lin Feng has come this far, surviving many life and death situations.

The cunning referred to here is the kind of scheming intended to harm others.

Lin Feng has none of such thoughts, and he holds compassion for everyone. If not at the moment of necessity, Lin Feng would never kill without just cause.

Because of understanding Lin Feng’s character, the armored soldier could interact with Lin Feng so amicably.

However, sometimes, for the greater good, anyone can be betrayed, including Lin Feng, who just won a battle.

The armored soldier didn’t know that Lin Feng encountered people from the Six Great Sects in the grove and knew that the Court had already intervened in this affair. As there is intervention, there will likely be actions. Their action was simple, using Desolate Realm forces to completely eliminate the Six Great Sects to reap the benefits afterward, and then wiping out Desolate Realm’s hundred thousand troops completely.

Such a perfect plan could not possibly have been conceived by the current Emperor alone.

If not the Emperor, then who? The white-robed man has already been killed by Lin Feng in the Stone Temple. Even Xue Nian might have been completely consumed by the Dark Power he unleashed. Now they might be caught between life and death.

Without the influence of the white-robed man within the Court, who would come up with such a grand conspiracy? What is their aim?

Lin Feng speculated that it might have ties to the Duke’s rebellion.

These thoughts came to Lin Feng while he was on the carriage. Otherwise, it would have been too much of a waste of time to ride so long without thinking of anything.

Outside the central camp entrance, Lin Feng and the armored soldier combined their efforts to channel their energy into the barrier before them. Massive amounts of power began to strike the barrier. The barrier gradually revealed its form as waves rippled at the point where the energy columns met it.

Inexhaustible energy bombarded a single point without pause. The break was nearly achieved, and once the energy spilled over, the entire barrier might shatter like glass and disperse into specks of light, disappearing into the air.

However, it seemed someone noticed the Array was being damaged and began to reinforce it.

Inside the central camp at that moment.

The laborers that the muscular man had sent to scout the camp entrance.

Upon reaching the entrance, they discovered someone outside was using their energy to attack the Array they set up.

While Chen Lang was occupied with decapitating, several frightened-looking laborers gathered before the tent entrance, intentionally setting up the Prohibition. When the muscular man erupted, these four still stood by the tent entrance.

They were actually discreetly casting spells, but everyone’s attention was focused on the fight between the muscular man and Chen Lang, so no one noticed their actions. Hence, they silently completed the Array.

When someone tried to rush out of the camp, the muscular man feared the Array would be discovered too soon, so he immediately jumped to the entrance, using his spear glowing with cold light to control the scene like a god of death.

The muscular man’s immense power frightened the people inside, who didn’t dare to move.

Once everyone was more or less subdued and had been identified by Chen Lang for who they truly were, they stopped worrying. Unexpectedly, they were mocked by these people.

This led to their failure to kill swiftly.

Only when Lin Feng and the others arrived outside and began attacking their Barrier did they feel the urgency of time. There was no room for delay.

The situation was extremely critical at this moment.

The muscular man started to intensify his actions, swiftly applying his Spiritual Power and striking towards Chen Lang.

Strong energy significantly heightened the blade of the spear. To be precise, it added a layer of radiance to the original blade, making the edge appear as a sharp peak. Its damage was far greater than that of the spear itself.
