Sword Saints Should Go Tank - Chapter 476:

Chapter 476: The spread of reputation

The reflection of the water mirror showed a family with many people gathered together. There were many women and children in the family, but only two men.

Pointing at the old lady who was making a statue of Lu Chen, the city Lord said, ” this is an ordinary family in the heaven martial city. The husband of that old woman was my soldier. He died ten years ago. She had seven sons, and five of them died in battle. Of the last two, one of them is still a soldier in forbidden area No. 7. Without you, this young man would have died.

Sighing, the heaven martial city Lord continued, ” “The old woman respected you for avenging her husband and allowing her youngest son to return. This middle-aged woman respects you for letting her husband return. And this little girl, she also went out to cheer for you just now. Did you see her smile?”

After taking a deep breath, the heaven martial city Lord said, ” I’ve been to his house before, but the little girl never smiled. She just looked at the city gate, hoping that her father would come back. When I gave her something, she didn’t accept it. She just asked me when her father would come back.

and every time her father left, she was unwilling to let go. She once saw that her uncle never returned after he left. Even his body was left with this little girl, and her father never returned.

The little girl that the heaven martial city Lord was pointing at had an indifferent expression. After observing her through the water mirror for a long time, there was no trace of a smile on her face. There was only envy as she watched her sister and her father play. When the heaven martial city Lord saw her envy, his face was filled with sorrow and tears.

her request was very simple. She just hoped that her father would return safely. But even I couldn’t do that. I was too useless.

Lu Chen was also shocked by her words. At the same time, Lu Chen also realized that the soldiers were not just a number. They also cared about their families and children.

While Lu Chen was sighing, the Lord of Heaven martial city touched the mirror and saw the families of ordinary people in it.

After a quick scan, Lu Chen noticed that there were many women living in the houses. There were only one or two men in each house, especially the adult men. Some houses even had no adult men. There were only orphans and widows living a difficult life.

The heaven martial city Lord’s voice was also heard at this moment, ” that old lady’s family is not a special case. The evils have been wreaking havoc for decades. Every family in heaven martial city has had someone killed by the evils. This family, this family, almost every family in the entire cloud region has had their men killed in battle. Many of them are even soldiers. Their families and children are constantly in danger. It was Your Highness who avenged their husbands and children. It was also you who brought their husbands back so that the children have a family. It is the same for my family.

The city Lord then bowed to Lu Chen and said, ” I have two sons who died in battle, and three more are living in the military camp. There is an officer who is my child outside forbidden area No. 7. It is very dangerous there, and I don’t know when my children will die. This bow is for saving my children, Your Highness.

After paying his respects, the heaven martial city Lord could not hide his sorrow. After a long while, he said, ” many people died in our city, but it’s still not too bad. At least, most of the families still have a son, their loved ones and children. If the outside villages are attacked by the evil, the entire village will be wiped out.

After directing the water mirror to the outside of the city, the heaven martial city Lord pointed at the troops of soldiers leaving the city and the shabby-looking villages with fences.

you’ve cleared the Shadow Realm and liberated 200000 combat power. These villages are saved. You’ve saved too many of us, so we didn’t exaggerate at all. We only told them about your situation. Those people respected you and worshipped you on their own accord. Your Highness, you deserve their worship.

The huge amount of images that came into his eyes made Lu Chen speechless.

“I understand.”

Lu Chen’s voice was low and deep, but his heart was burning with fire as he looked at the tragedy that befell the families.

While Lu Chen was angry, the city Lord was sad. At the same time, he also realized that he had completed the King’s mission.

Everything he said was true. His sorrow and gratitude to Lu Chen were real. He did have a son who died in battle and Lu Chen did save his son indirectly. Even the civilians of Yunzhou were right to defend Lu Chen.

However, Yunzhou had also done a lot of things. If the officials of Yunzhou didn’t actively spread the news, the ordinary people wouldn’t have known about it so quickly. At the same time, the Lord of Heaven martial city showed this to Lu Chen to arouse Lu Chen’s sympathy so that Lu Chen would fight against the evils for the humans of Yunzhou.

This could not be said to be wrong. It could only be said that they were doing their best for their own subjects.

They succeeded. However, the city Lord was worried when he saw the anger in Lu Chen’s eyes, ” Your Highness, I know you’re angry, but please be rational. Even if you want to deal with the evil, please do it after you’ve finished forging your weapon.

“You’re our only hope. Nothing can happen to you.”

As mentioned before, the current Lu Chen was the hope of saving Yunzhou.

While they were trying to win Lu Chen over, they were also very concerned about his safety.

“Prince Chen can’t die!”

This wasn’t just the common understanding of the barbarians, it was also the common understanding of the higher-ups of Yunzhou.

Lu Chen wasn’t good at stratagems, but he did feel a heavy burden on his shoulders. At the same time, he also felt that the wilderness needed him and the clouds Plains needed him.

“I really can’t die.”

With that in mind, Lu Chen turned to the city Lord and spoke.

“You guys can control the publicity, right?”

the People’s worship is sincere, Yingluo.

I know. Do something for me. Let your official propaganda tell the people of Yunzhou that I am the strongest swordsman of the young generation. The sword technique I am Best at is the Rakshasa blade. When I draw my sword, I can destroy mountains, split the sea, split the sky, defeat demons, slay demons, and eliminate evil spirits!

The castellan of the heaven martial city was dumbfounded. When Lu Chen needed to promote himself, he had thought of many things. For example, Prince Chen wanted to change his image and claim that he was the number one young warrior. He even thought that Prince Chen wanted to collect beautiful women in the clouds Plains. But he didn’t expect that Prince Chen wanted to be the number one swordsman.

moreover, the sword technique I’m best at is the Rakshasa saber. Aren’t you making things difficult for me? ”

The heaven martial city Lord, who was thinking this way, did not know that the most important thing about one-blade Rakshasa was not its swordsmanship, but its ability to gather all the power in its body and let it explode in one strike. Strictly speaking, this was an explosive ability similar to sky demon disintegration.

Of course, even if he knew, he could only nod in response.

I see. The best young swordsman, right? Your Highness, I’ll fulfill your request immediately. In three days, your name as a swordsman will spread throughout Yunzhou.

In the city Lord’s mind, Prince Chen had nothing to do with swordsman.

However, if the Prince said that he was a swordsman, then he was a swordsman.

To be honest, you are making an enemy out of the Yunzhou Royal Court, the hundred noble families, and the thousands of soldiers saved by His Highness.

When everyone said that His Highness was a swordsman, if you felt that something was wrong, then you had a problem.

fortunately, the people are easy to deceive. This mission can be easily completed.

Seeing that the city Lord didn’t leave after he agreed, Lu Chen thought about how busy he had been these few days and asked, ” “Is there anything else?”

yes, it’s like this. Your Highness, the king is afraid that you’re not comfortable here, so he’s going to send a few girls to serve Your Highness.

Lu Chen didn’t say anything but the girls who surrounded him were already unhappy.

They knew that the heaven martial city Lord wanted to send someone here. As they did not want to share their husbands with others, their eyes burned with anger.

But no one showed the anger in their hearts.

In the ancient times, it was jealousy that prevented a husband from taking a concubine. Moreover, the city Lord had already shown Lu Chen the world’s situation. Too many men had died in battle. Under such circumstances, if a husband was not allowed to take a concubine, he would be punished.

Therefore, even though they were unhappy, no one dared to make a sound. They could only glare at the heaven martial city Lord.

The city Lord’s heart trembled when he was glared at by so many people. He wasn’t afraid of any of the girls. In fact, they might not even have the right to meet him. But they were Lu Chen’s wives, which gave them an honorable status.

“Hai, I’ve really offended someone this time!”

While he was feeling uncomfortable, Lu Chen frowned and said, ” “There’s no need for women, I’m living very well here.”

After that, Lu Chen added, ” “Didn’t I already agree to marry the princess of Yunzhou? when the cooperation is completed, I will choose one.”

Lu Chen also knew that part of the reason why Yunzhou was so close to him was because he wanted to marry the princess. This was related to the cooperation between Yunzhou and himself. So, Lu Chen didn’t do as he pleased.

Seeing Lu Chen’s stern rejection and the girls ‘hostility, the city Lord didn’t dare to meddle.

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

However, before he could leave, Lu Chen’s voice was heard.

wait, do you have any connection with the sky clan? I really like that high and mighty ability. Also, the light transformation technique. Help me ask if these abilities can be exchanged.

Lu Chen had a lot of abilities and he wouldn’t want any normal abilities. But this time, it was different. The ability to turn into the sun was a perfect match for him.

the essence of that ability is to extract the divinity of the sun that can only be seen and never approached, making the person who incarnates into the sun like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water. No attack can get close to the human incarnated into the sun, just like the Mirage of the death god in the desert.

The first time Lu Chen fought against the avatar of the God was when he faced the god of death with Lin Ye. Back then, the Mirage of the god of death gave Lu Chen a huge shock.

He didn’t forget that scene. No matter what kind of attack they used, they couldn’t get close to the sun that was the god of death. No matter how they flew, they couldn’t get close to it. At the same time, they couldn’t get far away from it. They could only be exposed to the sun in the desert and slowly walk towards death. Lu Chen didn’t want to experience that feeling of despair a second time.

Of course, tai Zhao’s sun transformation couldn’t be compared to the god of death’s. The only special effect of tai Zhao’s sun transformation was that he couldn’t get close to Lu Chen. It was easy for Lu Chen to stay away from him, but it was also very important to Lu Chen. This was what he wanted the most.

“If I have this ability, I’ll be more confident in dealing with legends.”

Lu Chen wanted the power of the Tai clan and the Lord of Heaven martial city forced a smile at his request.

“Your Highness, the sky clan has living gods. They don’t lack anything, but we’ll do our best.”

Lu Chen looked at the city Lord’s distressed face and knew that he would not succeed this time.

However, he did not give up.

“I can’t exchange it with the sky clan. It’s possible for me to obtain this ability.”

With that in mind, Lu Chen returned to a basement in his base. There, the tall and heavy tombstone of the gods stood quietly on the ground, emitting a deep and ominous aura.

extract the divinity here, and I can use it to obtain this ability.

Abilities of the same attribute were essentially the same. For example, fire had the characteristic of burning, and most flames also used fire to attack the enemy.

It was the same for the sun. Lu Chen could turn into the sun and so could taizhao. However, the powers of the two suns were different. Lu Chen was like a light bulb that emitted light and heat while taizhao was high up in the sky and could never be touched.

Divinity, on the other hand, was the crystallization of a certain ability that had reached its peak. If one completely absorbed a little divinity, it would be easy to obtain a certain characteristic.

“There’s divinity here, but it’s too difficult to absorb it!”

When he felt the almost tangible curse of the death god, Lu Chen felt that he wouldn’t be able to resist it even if he could resurrect himself.

it has to be legendary, and I’ll have to add on mythical-level abilities to resist it.

“Let’s hope that things will go smoothly with the sky clan.”

After taking a look at the tombstone, Lu Chen left the room.

For the next few days, Lu Chen continued to refine his qi and blood. Although it was very slow to improve at his level, Lu Chen still persevered in it.

Of course, he didn’t just improve. While Lu Chen was training his blood essence, red butterfly had already helped him challenge the 20th ranked master.

While the battle was going on, the news of Lu Chen being a swordsman was spreading like wildfire in Yunzhou.

Tianfeng city was just a small city in Yunzhou, similar to the heaven martial city in name. Like other places, it was also troubled by the evil spirits. However, it was different. Because it was far away from the center of Yunzhou and did not have any special products, the central Prefecture’s Royal Court did not send many troops here. They would even transfer people to guard other important places.

There was nothing wrong with such a thing, and it was good for the human race as a whole. However, it was hard for the people here. At the same time, every family was worried. Some of their families had been conscripted and transferred out. This made every family want to know the news of their distant family members, but they were afraid of hearing bad news.

After all, only adult men were selected. In ancient times, adult men were the pillars of the family. The remaining orphans and widows did not know how to survive in this dangerous era without adult men.

Because of this, there was a lot of dissatisfaction with the Imperial court of Yunzhou. The provocation of the Barbarian prince could arouse the common hatred of the people of Yunzhou in other directions, but here, it could only be applauded by them.

“Those old men are all useless.”

they only dare to bully us. Barbarian prince, you did well.

All kinds of mockery were prevalent here. They would even gather near the teahouses in the town in the evening when there was no farm work, hoping to hear the latest news from the storyteller.

As usual, many people came to the teahouse again to hear the news of the Barbarian prince beating up those ‘Masters’ because of the lack of entertainment and the lack of entertainment.

Time continued to pass, and soon, it was time for the storyteller to come. However, this time, the storyteller did not come for a long time, causing a commotion in the venue.

“Did something happen?”

“Don’t tell me he’s been caught?”

those bastards! They didn’t dare to fight the evil, so they captured us and tried to fight us!

you lost all your face because of the Barbarian prince. If you have the ability, then defeat him.

All sorts of sounds rang out in the teahouse. Just as the scene was in chaos, the curtain at the back of the teahouse was opened and an old scholar walked out.

However, unlike his usual calmness, there were traces of tears on his face. It was obvious that he had just cried, which made many people question him.

“Mr. First, what’s wrong?”

“What happened?”

The concerned voices touched the storyteller. He walked to the center of the teahouse and bowed with cupped fists in all directions.

“Something has indeed happened.” Without waiting for the crowd to respond, he said, ” “It’s a good thing this time,”

“Good news, another old master has been beaten up by the barbarians.”

“I beat a few this time.”

“They should be beaten up.”

The chaotic voices made the storyteller smile. Then, he slammed the table to calm everyone down and said, ” how is it good news that the old master was beaten up? although it’s satisfying, it has nothing to do with us. The good news I’m talking about is related to your husband and children who were fighting outside.

As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent.

After a long while, a trembling voice said, ” it’s related to my husband. It’s because my husband can come back.

Looking at the ordinary woman who was looking at him expectantly and then at the many orphans, widows and elderly around him, the storyteller sighed. Half of the population in a city was lonely. This was the situation in ordinary cities and towns in Yunzhou, and the same was true for him.

After taking a deep breath, the storyteller said in a deep voice, ” you’re right. It’s related to your husband’s return.

“I can really come back.”

“He won’t be carried back like the metal pole next to him, right?”

Everyone wanted to know the latest news since it was related to their family. Some eight or nine-year-old children even kept calling him Grandpa, asking him to explain the situation clearly and when his father would return.

The chaos lasted for a long time. After realizing that the storyteller could not speak, the group of people quieted down a little.

“I know you’re all very anxious, but please sit down and listen to me slowly.”

After everyone was appeased, the storyteller said, ”

this matter is related to the Barbarian prince. I’m sure you all know about his situation.

“Of course I do, but hasn’t he been beating up those officials? What does it have to do with us?”

“Could it be that after those officials were beaten up, they let my family go?”

This made the storyteller smile, ” if the Barbarian prince only beat up the officials, of course he wouldn’t let your family come back. In fact, if this continues, he will be recruited again. But His Highness is brave. He didn’t just beat up the officials, he also beat up the evil spirits.

we all know that the reason why our family was conscripted was because of the evils. You’ve seen how powerful those evils are.

“Of course, we don’t even dare to go out at night.”

“That’s right. We don’t dare to go out at night, but Prince Chen is different. According to the news, Prince Chen is very strong. Even the most powerful evils can’t get close to him. And every night, Prince Chen will clean up the evils. I even heard that Prince Chen feeds on the evils. He eats thousands of them every day.”

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing that the terrifying evil had been devoured by the Barbarian prince, the crowd gasped in shock.

If Lu Chen was here, he would definitely be in a bad mood. Even though the people here were terrified, they all believed in Lu Chen’s words. They all thought that Lu Chen was a monster that devoured thousands of evils.

The main reason for this was because the information about Lu Chen was a little distorted. The rumors from far away said that Lu Chen had three heads and six arms, a green face, fangs, and a sharp horn on his head. He also devoured a hundred virgins every day.

Many people who had never seen it before believed this information.

They had no choice. In their eyes, only gods or demons could defeat an Army of tens of thousands.

Although they wanted to see the Barbarian prince beat up the officials, they didn’t think that the Barbarian prince was a kind God. Therefore, in their minds, Lu Chen was the devil. As for the devil, see Chi You for details.

The modern 21st century was considered to be completely civilized. However, after hearing the name Chiyou, who would first think of the Barbarian tribesmen? most people would think of the image of a three-headed and six-armed evil spirit.

Even the Barbarian Chi You’s image was demonized in China without any special abilities. There really were gods and evil spirits in this world. Even the people who didn’t know much about this world felt that Lu Chen’s image was terrifying.

Therefore, it was easy for them to accept the fact that Lu Chen would devour tens of thousands of evils every day. After all, they believed it when Lu Chen devoured a hundred virgins every day.

“Devouring tens of thousands of evil spirits every day, how terrifying.”

“The evils are all bad, it’s good to swallow them.”

Seeing everyone’s shock, the storyteller smiled and said, ” “You all know how brave Prince Chen is. That’s what I’m going to say. Not only is he brave, but he is also kind. He didn’t beat up our soldiers to provoke them, he just wanted to pressure them so that they can work harder.”

At this point, the storyteller’s words suddenly became serious. after the kind Prince beat up the soldiers, he was furious when he saw the evil eating people. He was so angry that he entered the evil’s lair and ran away.

The storyteller didn’t have time to finish his sentence before a frightened voice sounded.

His Highness opened his mouth wide and swallowed all the monsters in the monster nest.

These words made the storyteller choke, and very quickly, the surrounding people began to discuss.

that should be the case. I heard that the Barbarian Prince’s mouth is as big as the city gate. He can definitely eat all those monsters.

there must be tens of thousands of monsters in the lair. His Highness devoured tens of thousands of monsters in one bite.

No matter where, there were many people who were good at fantasizing. Because of the previous rumors, the people here still felt that the person who fantasized just now was right. The Prince only ate monsters.

What made Lu Chen even more helpless was that even the storyteller felt the same way.

“The mission that the higher-ups gave me said that Prince Chen defeated his enemies with his sword skills. How is that possible? what kind of sword skills do the barbarians have? he only relied on food.”
