One by one, the bodies of the officers from the Eastern Wing Army were thrown from the centre of the battle.
When they were thrown, their lives had already left their bodies.
The armour they wore was useless in protecting their lives.
The power they had used to oppress the people was now useless in the face of the absolute power that was now taking their lives one by one.
A young man who, just a few days ago, was still considered foolish and unable to cultivate, and was often mistreated, had now transformed into a formidable force that successfully defeated one by one the main officers of the Eastern Wing Army.
Minister Chen's eyes widened in shock as he watched his son swiftly kill his opponents one by one.
Something he could never have done himself.
"I'm not mistaken, am I, Officer Cian? My son is still at the second level of the Body Purification Realm, right?" Minister Chen asked Officer Cian.
"You are correct, Minister. Chen Long is indeed still at the second level of the Body Purification Realm. However, it seems he possesses strength far surpassing his current level, even stronger than some levels above him," replied Officer Cian, whose eyes were also wide with astonishment as he looked at Chen Long.
Officer Cian was also still shocked because the medicine given by Chen Long turned out to be extremely effective and could heal his wounds immediately. He had thought that the most effective medicine available in the capital city would only be able to heal his wounds after about 7 to 10 days.
Now, he was once again shocked by Chen Long's prowess, the young man who had been under his care for so long, whom he had tried so hard to cultivate, but all his efforts had failed completely.
But now things had changed. The young man whose future had once been so concerning was now like a tiger with wings, his strength far surpassing his own.
Hun Chiseng, who had extensive experience, had been observing Chen Long's actions since earlier. Finally, he came to a conclusion. "He's not that powerful. He can defeat all my disciples because there is a protector within him that shields him, so he doesn't need to worry about the blows coming his way. He just needs to strike his opponents without fearing their counterattacks."
Gong Hukong agreed with Hun Chiseng's observation. "You're right. Look at the robe or cloak he's wearing; that's what protects him from attacks."
"That item is excellent." Hun Chiseng nodded. His eyes shone brightly. He wanted to obtain the item on Chen Long's body immediately.
Now, Chen Long had successfully killed all the officers of the Eastern Wing army. He now looked at Hun Chiseng and Gong Hukong.
"The two of you can come forward together."
"How arrogant!" Hun Chiseng snorted. Then he looked at Gong Hukong. "Let's follow his words. Let's go forward together."
Seeing this, Officer Cian also advanced, but he was immediately stopped by Chen Long.
"Officer Cian, let me face them alone. Please stay and protect my father."
"Are you capable of facing both of them?" asked Officer Cian.
"Don't worry about me, Officer Cian. I can still handle these two earth-smelling men!" Chen Long immediately walked towards his two enemies while gently pushing Officer Cian back a few steps.
Chen Long was very confident in the ability of the cloak he had been wearing since earlier. The name of this cloak was the dragon cloak, and when worn by Chen Long, it became like a robe for him.
The two old men began to approach Chen Long from both sides, then after giving each other a signal, they attacked simultaneously from the front and back.
Minister Chen even became angry seeing his son being attacked in such an unsportsmanlike manner, as one was intimidating him from the front while the other was launching a sneak attack from behind.
However, Chen Long ignored both attacks. Instead, he intensified his attack towards Hun Chiseng, who was in front of him.
Chen Long ignored Gong Hukong's deadly attacks, which continued to strike him from behind, because he was confident in the power of his dragon cloak.
Instead, his attacks grew stronger, targeting Hun Chiseng.
Hun Chiseng could see what was happening. He understood that Gong Hukong couldn't break through Chen Long's dragon cloak defence, but he didn't panic.
Seeing Chen Long's attacks, he said, "Your precious treasure that protects you is indeed quite good, but you are only at the second level of the Body Purification Realm. You won't be able to deliver a fatal blow to me."
Hearing his enemy's words, Chen Long just chuckled and then threw a punch at his opponent.
Hun Chiseng blocked Chen Long's attack with his hand, but he was very surprised when the force of the blow from his enemy's hand, which he had successfully blocked, now continued its momentum towards his chest.
A loud sound like iron striking stone was followed by the sound of breaking bones and Hun Chiseng's scream.
Hun Chiseng staggered back five steps while continuing to spit blood from his mouth.
His face, which had previously been full of confidence, now began to show anxiety for the first time. He looked frightened, not expecting Chen Long to be able to harm him.
He never expected that someone who was only at the second level of the Body Purification Realm could injure him, who was already at the tenth level of the Body Purification Realm.
Chen Long chose to continue chasing Hun Chiseng.
He leaped forward, his punches flying swiftly toward Hun Chiseng. He ignored the attacks from his opponent, who continued to strike him from behind, as he was too confident in the power of the dragon cloak he wore.
Chen Long's punches now struck Hun Chiseng not only on the chest but also on the legs and head.
The fourth punch Chen Long launched even shattered Hun Chiseng's head.
The leader of the Eastern Wing, considered one of the kingdom's main forces, now met his end at the hands of a young man whose name had only recently been heard.
After dispatching Hun Chiseng, Chen Long turned his body to face Gong Hukong, who had been attacking him continuously but had failed to injure him.
Gong Hukong immediately backed away and turned to the second prince, "Prince, go away and let me hold him off."
Chen Long turned to Officer Cian. "Officer Cian, capture the second prince for me."
As he said that, Chen Long immediately approached Gong Hukong
This old man knew he couldn't defeat Chen Long because he was well aware that his abilities were still slightly below Hun Chiseng's, but Hun Chiseng had been killed by Chen Long, so he began to look around nervously and immediately tried to escape.
He no longer cared about his oath to always protect the Second Prince; all he could think about now was his own safety.
The Second Prince was shocked by what his personal guard had done, so when Officer Cian captured him, he could only cry sadly.
But just as Gong Hukong was about to walk away, a kick struck his back.
The kick was delivered with tremendous force, causing Gong Hukong to fall to the floor.
He immediately vomited blood and could only beg for mercy from Chen Long, who was now approaching him again.
But Chen Long, who had not spoken all this time but knew what was happening in the palace or in the Royal City and also knew of the cruelty of the second prince and his guards towards the people, now showed him no mercy.
Although the Second Prince was not as cruel as the Fifth Prince, there had already been many innocent victims, simply because he was offended after the people accidentally bumped into him while he was walking in the city market.
Moreover, his corruption case was massive and had been well-known for a long time.
And although the Second Prince never raised his own hand, he always ordered his personal guards to kill innocent people who offended him.
Therefore, there was no chance left for this old guard; his head was crushed, following the fate suffered by Hun Chiseng. He too met his end here.
After that, Chen Long immediately approached the second prince.
"Chen Long, you cannot kill me. My father is the emperor of this kingdom. You will face severe punishment if you dare to kill me!" the second prince said, trying to threaten Chen Long.
