Chapter 363 - 361 Situation Changes_1
Left waiting for Leng Shi but instead receiving a copy of the "Linyang Daily Newspaper," Lin Qing was stunned before tossing the paper onto the table, frowning and saying, "Damn luck!"
Taking a light breath, Lin Qing turned to Shen Yu and asked, "General Shen, is Yun Yao really as formidable as the newspaper claims?"
"There should be some exaggeration, like something out of a swordplay novel—ghosts and gods startled with one strike surely doesn’t exist," Shen Yu said. "However, it’s true that Miao Buqi died by her hand."
Lin Qing nodded; he wanted nothing but a firm answer from him, and he also knew that there was a very high chance this matter was true.
As a general who led troops with a vast network of information, the sudden announcement from Qinglan Sword Sect about closing their mountain seemed to verify that Qinglan Sword Saint was probably defeated by this Yun Yao.
Moreover.
Lin Qing knew that the Heavenly Demon, after awakening divine skills, was altered beyond recognition. Those bizarre and unpredictable divine skills were hard to defend against, so it was not odd for the Sword Saint to be defeated.
Yet, when Lin Qing thought about the opposition gaining another power on par with Qinglan Sword Saint, he felt a headache coming on. When carefully calculated, Leng Shi’s side had at least six Heavenly Demons!
The confidence brought by an army of three hundred thousand was suddenly replaced by a sense of helplessness. Why couldn’t they have more capable Heavenly Demons on their side?
Their first battle’s defeat dealt a significant blow to the troops’ morale.
Looking at Shen Yu again, Lin Qing asked, "General Shen, if Yun Yao attacks, are you confident in your divine skills to handle her?"
"With thirty thousand archers, I fear no one in a direct confrontation," Shen Yu said, but he quickly turned to Lin Qing, "Marshal, however, I am not skilled enough in personal combat, so I implore you to assign at least one Grandmaster to protect my safety and prevent Leng Shi from sending an assassin."
