The Fortunate Demoniac Little Village Doctor

She said to Lin Feng: "Lin, there are one hundred and sixty-seven long spears coming at you from behind."

Lin Feng heard Hua Shengmi’s words and gritted his teeth. He wasn’t about to become a pincushion, so he tore the Spiritual Beast Belt off his waist.

A thunderous roar erupted, and all the spears thrown vanished in a burst of lightning stone.

The soldiers chasing from behind were scared out of their wits, immediately coming to a halt, afraid to advance even a step further. The gigantic beast before them was not something they could withstand; their thousand soldiers would be nothing more than snacks for it in no time at all.

Some reckless soldiers collided with the giant beast, instantly turning into lightning stone.

Indeed, the beast Lin Feng released was the ancient demon beast, Qiongqi. This Qiongqi, sealed for a thousand years and now emerging from the Treasure Pavilion, was unstoppable, already possessing power surpassing the Nine Spirit Joints. To beings below the Eight Spirit Knot, it was merely a snack.

Lin Feng didn’t wish to unleash Qiongqi. However, to save his life, he had no choice. He couldn’t die here as he still had a brighter future; for the people of the Human Realm, he must live.

Qiongqi was now Lin Feng’s companion, their minds connected.

Lin Feng instructed Qiongqi not to slaughter innocents and to only scare them away. Qiongqi agreed with a sense of measure.

With Qiongqi guarding his rear, no army could pass through, and Lin Feng swiftly caught up with the contact man.

The contact man was prepared, with extra spiritual horses in the Spiritual Beast Bag as contingency; he didn’t expect to use them so soon. Seeing Lin Feng approach, he released a spiritual horse. With spiritual intelligence akin to humans, it followed the contact man’s horse. Lin Feng leapt onto the sturdy back of the spiritual horse and fled into the forest.

Mo Qingshuang was regretful indeed, lying like a seed in grass, blood seeping from his lips, seemingly severely injured.

Lin Feng’s current power exceeded that of a typical Seven Spirit Knot due to his cultivation techniques, mastered to the highest level, enhancing his cultivation. Lin Feng’s abilities now reached the strength of the Eight Spirit Knot.

After successfully escaping the encirclement, Lin Feng and the contact man advanced toward the mountains. As the spiritual horses descended the slopes, their speed reached its peak, and they seemed to have escaped danger.

They swiftly moved through the grassy mountain path, reaching the designated location, which was heavily guarded and relatively safe for the moment.

The lookout man saw Lin Feng and his captain arrive, urgently waving them over: "Here, come quickly."

Lin Feng heard his call and quickly rode over with the contact man to the lookout man’s side.

Upon reaching the lookout man, Lin Feng said: "Your captain is seriously injured and needs immediate medical attention. Go and heal him."

After Lin Feng spoke, the contact man fell off his horse.

The lookout man immediately waved to the back and shouted: "Come quickly, the captain is injured!"

Five healers rushed over, previously attending to the nineteen rescued allies here, assessing their injuries and providing initial treatment to stabilize their condition.

It was unexpected that their captain was more seriously injured than the nineteen allies.

After arranging treatment for the captain, the lookout man said to Lin Feng: "White Crane captain has already died in battle, our situation is becoming increasingly difficult, and his men, five hundred from White Crane Hall, are without command. Could you temporarily assume the post?"

The White Crane captain mentioned was killed in a battle with the bronze hammer man, whose self-detonation severely scorched his adversary.

With the battle imminent, he requested Lin Feng to step in. Lin Feng, experienced in leading troops in Peace City, readily accepted.

Lin Feng addressed the lookout man: "The battle is imminent, and over ten thousand troops have already headed toward the Heaven Alliance camp. Given the urgency, I’ll handle the defense."

Satisfied by Lin Feng’s agreement, the lookout man beamed.

He directed Lin Feng: "White Crane Hall is three kilometers down this road, they’ve set up an ambush for the advancing forces. You should head over immediately, time is of the essence."

Lin Feng steered the spiritual horse in the direction indicated and galloped away.

Climbing the lush mountain path on the spiritual horse, it didn’t appear this tranquil environment would soon spark a war.

Hua Shengmi commented to Lin Feng at this moment: "Are you really going to be their Hall Master and command an army?"

Lin Feng chuckled: "I’m just temporarily taking command, I’ll leave once the fighting subsides."

In truth, Lin Feng hoped the conflict wouldn’t ignite, yet there seemed no alternative.

Midway down the path, Lin Feng spotted a gigantic beast resting at a stream, sipping water contentedly, waiting leisurely for Lin Feng.

"Look, your New Year beast is waiting for you," Hua Shengmi teased Lin Feng, alluding to the beast’s chaotic antics during the lights festival in Liuzhou City on New Year’s Eve, earning the nickname.

The gaze Lin Feng gave was naturally aimed at Hua Shengmi, who noticed and responded: "They’re calling it a New Year beast, but does someone as learned as a heavenly spirit seed join in this label?"

Before the battle commenced, Lin Feng and Hua Shengmi were already sparring with words, cool and composed in the face of impending danger.

Lin Feng pondered how merely five hundred men from White Crane Hall could lay an ambush for over ten thousand soldiers; he was curious.

After their banter, they saw two people waving from a nearby slope, survivors from the execution squad.

Their execution team was reassembled for a different target, not Heaven Alliance members, but soldiers from the Western Camp.

Lin Feng followed the trail up the slope to join everyone gathered there.

Lin Feng presented the command token given by the lookout man, inscribed with the golden characters "White Crane Hall."

Everyone there immediately knelt before Lin Feng.

"We pay respects to the new Hall Master, awaiting your commands," said an elder, likely an old member of White Crane Hall, the Vice Hall Master.

Experienced in battle, Lin Feng instructed: "Rise, let’s deliberate on the war situation."

The Vice Hall Master saw Lin Feng’s confident demeanor and realized he was indeed seasoned in warfare, gauging him with high regard.

He introduced himself, hands clenched in salute: "I am Zhao Tianmang, Vice Hall Master of White Crane Hall."

Lin Feng introduced himself: "I am Lin Feng, from Central State."

The two from the execution squad also presented themselves, and finished the formalities, finally getting into the discussion of the battle situation.

Mo Qingshuang was now commanding fifteen thousand troops on their way; Lin Feng could only smile wryly.
