Chapter 1350: Chapter 1349: Fang Zheng Defeats the Jin Army Over Tea

For Yue Fei, the current situation was not ideal.

On one hand, the Jin People were aggressive; on the other hand, support from the rear was dwindling.

Yue Fei was not a fool; he also understood why the Imperial Court acted this way. In fact, within the Court, there had always been voices advocating for peace. Although the Southern Song was rich, most of its wealth was spent on military expenses, and the civil officials at the back were already complaining. And now, they actually... sent a group of bogus Immortals to the frontlines!

Was this a joke?

Thinking of this, Yue Fei unhappily glanced at the figure in the camp, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

Watching Yue Fei leave, Aya couldn’t help but frown uneasily.

”Celestial Immortal, General Yue seems not to like us being here.”

”That’s normal, don’t mind it, Aya.”

Hearing Aya’s words, Fang Zheng smiled, shaking his head. He could understand Aya’s dissatisfaction; in fact, Fang Zheng had brought Aya to the front of the camp for some time already, but most fighters led by Yue Fei against the Jin Army didn’t have a good impression of them. This was also expected, as in their view, the army needed warriors for battle, not magicians engaged in mystical interference. Furthermore, the Yue Family Army had just repelled an attack by the Jin Army, and they were exhausted, needing supplies. Yet the rear didn’t send support or provisions, but a Taoist instead... humph!

Therefore, after Fang Zheng arrived here, Yue Fei was lukewarm towards him.

If it had been someone else, Fang Zheng might have already argued with them. But Yue Fei was a national hero, and Fang Zheng sincerely admired him—besides, Yue Fei’s dissatisfaction was understandable, so Fang Zheng wasn’t particularly bothered by it.

After all, their main goal was the same, and next...

”Wuwuwu...!!”

Just at that moment, a horn sounded, and soon the soldiers almost instantly stood up, swiftly prepared for battle. They held weapons, arranged themselves in fierce formations, and glared forward. Quickly, a large cavalry army appeared on the distant side.

It’s time for me to act.

Looking at the distant army and the surround soldiers who were still evidently fatigued, Fang Zheng stood up and stepped up to Yue Fei, cupping his hands.

”General Yue Fei, I have something to say.”

”Oh? What matter does the Celestial Immortal have?”

Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s voice, Yue Fei glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze. Fang Zheng, however, didn’t mind, shrugged his shoulders, and continued.

”General Yue is unparalleled in courage, but after this period of intense battles, your soldiers are exhausted; why not let me take this battle, so they can rest a bit?”

”You?”

Hearing this, Yue Fei finally turned his head, staring at Fang Zheng with a slight contemptuous smile at the corner of his mouth.

”Not sure what skills the Celestial Immortal has? Do you need to open an altar and perform a spell? If so, I cannot accompany you.”

”Opening an altar and performing a spell is done by those bogus Taoists; I don’t have time for that. As they say, seeing is believing. I understand General Yue’s thoughts, so... leave it to me for now; if it doesn’t work, then you can step in.”

”......”

Listening to Fang Zheng’s reply, Yue Fei stared at him and after a brief silence, nodded.

”Alright, if you have such confidence, then I want to see your skills. Let me make it clear, weapons are blind; if you can’t stop the Jin Army, we won’t save you.”

”Rest assured and leave it to me.”

Faced with Yue Fei’s words, Fang Zheng smiled and nodded, then he casually walked out of the formation and headed forward.

Opposite were tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, all riding tall horses, exceptionally brave. If it were ordinary people, they would have been terrified long ago. However, for Fang Zheng...

”This number won’t even kindle a fire...”

Looking at the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers ahead, Fang Zheng sighed helplessly.

Forget it, burning mortal dog food is pointless now; let’s wait for the Immortals.

”Wuwu---!!!”

While Fang Zheng was trapped in idle thoughts, accompanied by the sound of horn, the Jin soldiers suddenly attacked fiercely towards the front. And facing tens of thousands of Jin soldiers was only Fang Zheng, standing there, with his hands behind his back, unmoving.

”Jin soldiers... humph.”

Watching the Jurchen cavalry ahead, Fang Zheng’s expression was cold. He had seen history books describing Jurchen cavalry invading south to perish the Song; although the Southern Song regime was rotten to the core, the people of Central Plains were innocent. And these Jurchens... damn it, he finally time traveled, but who wouldn’t indulge in the thrill of a nuclear bomb on the natives?

Thinking about this, Fang Zheng reached out his hand and pointed forward.

Transform earth into mud!

As soon as Fang Zheng extended his hand, the firm and heavy land in front of the Jin soldiers suddenly softened into a marsh of soft and slippery mud. Those cavalry at the forefront were immediately engulfed upon stepping onto the marsh. Along with a series of horse whines, everyone saw the Jin cavalry plunge, followed by those at the rear failing to sidestep and crashing directly into the fallen soldiers and horses ahead.

It was like a domino effect of disaster, the complete collapse at the front line was completely beyond the Jin Army’s expectations. They couldn’t fathom how the solid ground had suddenly turned into a swamp, but unfortunately, cruel reality slapped them right in the face.

However, Fang Zheng’s assault did not end there.

Green mist rolled out at the rear of the Jin Army, with the deadly Death Cloud Technique that instantly claimed countless lives of Jin soldiers.

This scene greatly shocked the Jin Army. They hurriedly tried to ride their warhorses away from this deadly area. But soon, they realized their feet were suddenly on a slick, black, greasy surface, and countless pitch black tentacles shot out. They seemed harmless, like shadows without substance, yet when struck by these eerie black tentacles, the Jin soldiers felt as though touched by millennia-old icy frost, coldness invading their bodies, making them lose all strength to struggle.

Then, a huge roaring sound came from the sky. When the Jin soldiers looked up, they could only despairingly see a flaming fire meteor descending directly into the center of their army’s encampment.

Meteor Storm!

”Boom—————!!!”

The power comparable to thousands of tons of TNT exploded in an instant, flattening everything around the center of the Jin Army’s encampment.

”Perfect.”

Watching the giant mushroom cloud rising in the distance, Fang Zheng proudly snapped his fingers. Turn earth into mud + Death Cloud Technique + Greasy Technique + Isaac Black Tentacle + Meteor Storm, control and AoE output all together, I don’t believe you can survive this!

A mere group of Jurchen cavalry, really thinking they can ascend to heaven?

Then I’ll reluctantly send you to meet God.

Having settled the matter, Fang Zheng turned around, hands behind his back, humming a tune as he walked back.

At this moment, Yue Fei and the anti-Jin warriors were already dumbstruck.

In just the blink of an eye, ten thousand Jin soldiers were so easily annihilated?

Are they dreaming!!!

For a moment, all the soldiers stood around in eerie silence, just watching Fang Zheng, involuntarily holding their breath, in awe even greater than when facing the Emperor.

At this time, Fang Zheng had arrived in front of the array, and respectfully saluted Yue Fei.

”General Yue, it’s done, mission accomplished.”

Originally, Yue Fei was also on his horse and dumbstruck like a clay statue, but upon hearing Fang Zheng speak, he trembled all over, then hurriedly dismounted, kneeling on one knee and offering a great salute to Fang Zheng.

”Yue Fei was reckless and clashed with the Celestial Immortal, I have acted disrespectfully, please Celestial Immortal forgive me!”

”General Yue, there’s no need for this.”

Seeing Yue Fei kneeling before him, Fang Zheng was taken aback. Wow, having this ethnic hero kneel to him is surely a blessing, right!

Though strictly speaking, the Time Dragon no longer has lifespan limitations.

Therefore, Fang Zheng quickly extended a hand to lift Yue Fei.

”I am just like General Yue, only dedicating myself to the people of the Song Dynasty. In fact, it’s General Yue whom I admire for being able to withstand tens of thousands of Jin soldiers with mere flesh and blood, unlike me who can only hide behind and release spells... hahaha... General Yue is the true ethnic hero, a great chivalrous one...”

”Celestial Immortal, don’t tease me.”

Hearing this, Yue Fei also chuckled bitterly.

”Celestial Immortal alone matches tens of thousands of our strength, what use is Yue Fei?”

”General Yue’s words are mistaken.”

In response to Yue Fei’s words, Fang Zheng shook his head, then pointed to the battlefield behind him.

”General Yue has seen it too. These are all weapons of mass destruction, indiscriminate of enemy and allies. You may fight on the battlefield, but to defeat Jin soldiers takes more than just this. Jin has occupied so many of our Song cities, enslaved so many citizens, and could I just bombard a Meteor Storm and kill both our Song citizens along with those Jin soldiers? So... I can only assist General Yue from the side, defeating Jin still requires you and the officers.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Fei and his surrounding soldiers visibly relaxed. Before, seeing Fang Zheng’s display, they were indeed shocked and doubted themselves. After all, he alone could take on tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, rendering the need for these soldiers questionable.

However, after Fang Zheng’s speech, they quickly adjusted, restoring their confidence. Indeed, the Celestial Immortal’s power is extraordinary, but driving out the Jin people involves more than just direct confrontation on the battlefield. As the Celestial Immortal mentioned, he couldn’t blast a seized city with a meteor each time.

At that time, it will still be up to them!

Thinking of this, Yue Fei and the others felt much reassured, their attitude towards Fang Zheng becoming increasingly enthusiastic.

”In any case, the Celestial Immortal’s prowess is truly astonishing... In ancient times, Guan Yu beheaded Hua Xiong while warming wine, today Celestial Immortal overturned ten thousand Jin soldiers in less time than it took to drink a cup of tea, even surpassing that!”

”Haha, mutual flattery, mutual flattery.”

Hearing Yue Fei’s reply, Fang Zheng also chuckled.

”However, General Yue, if you can wait a few more days, then you will see another weapon to deal with Jin soldiers, and I assure you, with it, the Jin cavalry will be thrown into the trash bin!”
