Then he said, “Brother Song, I know you have great talent, but in this situation tonight, just getting started won’t be of use…”
Song Cheng replied, “No, I’ve achieved Perfection.”
He finished speaking, touched his long blade, stretched his muscles, and released his power. The blade moved like willow branches swaying in the wind, swiftly and lightly moving away.
The blade’s edge cut through the night wind, shattered the spring rain, emitting a tearing sound like ripping silk, and as it reached the end, there was a slight popping sound.
Force or not, it was actually visible, especially to a commerce chamber like Ruyi Commerce Chamber, which was known for its “Willow Brushing Force” style.
Even if the guards themselves couldn’t perform it, they had seen it many times.
This slash from Song Cheng was Willow Brushing Force achieved to Perfection… surpassing everyone.
Shi Yi, Ying, Gao Lin, and the Wang family brothers, none could compare to him.
The air suddenly fell silent, the quiet reached its peak.
Song Cheng further explained, “I mastered it this evening. Mainly because this cultivation technique meshes very well with the ‘White Snake Blade’ I practiced before, which is why it was so fast. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible. Normally, practicing other Dharma Methods doesn’t go this fast.”
Ding Kui:…
The two guards:…
Ying:…
Miss An:…
Although the two young women knew that Song Cheng mastered a cultivation technique that fused something like “Willow Brushing Force” and “Extreme Force,” they weren’t completely certain that it was “Willow Brushing Force” and “Extreme Force.”
No, it wasn’t that they weren’t completely certain; they didn’t dare to think so.
How could there be such a monster in the world?

How long has it even been?
Song Cheng said, “Old Ding, shall… shall we go?”
Ding Kui swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, “Ye… yes. Brother Song, you… you…”
He couldn’t even find words to describe his shock.
Song Cheng also walked over to An Chenyu’s side and told Ying, “Return to the house.” With that, he and the young lady stepped out the door, heading to the stables, fetched a horse, and donned a raincoat and bamboo hat.
The guards leapt onto their horses; Miss An was also riding a horse.
Song Cheng’s experience with riding horses was still stuck in the time before he crossed over; it was at a park where he sat on a paid-for horse ride going “how much for a round”…
But at this moment, he gritted his teeth, leapt onto the horse, mimicked the posture of the guards, and shouted “Hyah.”
The An family’s horses were all well-trained, and with this “Hyah,” the horse took off immediately.
As Song Cheng continued riding, he adapted; after all, he had the reaction and strength, and he learned quickly in the moment.
The group moved quickly toward the East City gate.
On the way, Ding Kui quickly explained the situation.
“Those ghostly things took advantage of the rainy night to launch an attack, punching through the city gate with many a fist mark, on the verge of breaking. I don’t know about the other city gates, but the East gate is in this condition.”
Ghost Tides attacked from all sides, unbidden entry was forbidden, but Ghost Servants kept coming, considering many people were caught in the Ghost Tide.
Thus, despite the government office dispatching county soldiers and recruiting local strong men to guard the four city gates of southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, there were limited masters available.
After convening a meeting with local powerful families, it was decided that the government office would mainly defend the northwest two gates. The South City district, led by the Water Bird Martial Arts Hall, would guard the south gate, while small families and wealthy merchants led by Ruyi Commerce Chamber, along with their protectors, house servants, and some county soldiers, would defend the east gate.
And the east gate was actually the most dangerous, as it was the closest gate to Tang River Village.
The group quickly arrived at the city gate, and the situation was indeed critical.
The gate had already been cracked open, and the massive city gate latch was about to shatter, with a group of people pushing wheelbarrows filled with yellow sand and stones and wooden crates to block the door from behind.
The pounding sounds from behind the gate went “bang bang bang,” piercing the eardrum and pounding on the heart, causing the guards on this rainy night to be anxious.
After turning from “ordinary people” to “Ghost Servants,” their power had greatly increased, making it entirely a “Power Realm” martial artist’s army.
Miss An removed her bamboo hat, raised a lantern high, revealing her appearance, and commanded loudly.
The appearance of the Ruyi Commerce Chamber’s president sparked a wave of morale.
Song Cheng swiftly climbed the city wall, looking down.
A row of numbers appeared before his eyes.
Good heavens, there were more than a hundred with two-digit numbers.
Most were around 10 or 11, yet there were three hidden around 30.
At this level, once the city gate was breached, it would be beyond repair.
If it was before his breakthrough, he would have hesitated, but after breaking into the Form Realm (Grade B Yellow Level) and reaching “Perfection,” his body had undergone a transformation.
That was the growth of a strange “Gang Qi” beneath his skin, often surging outward like armor, yet surpassing armor.
Song Cheng had tested himself, and basically, people below the Peak of Force Realm couldn’t hurt him anymore. Even stabbing his eyes with a sword was useless because “Gang Qi” flowed even before his eyes.
Even those at the Peak of Force Realm had minimal effect, as Great Perfection barely granted the privilege of “stabbing the eyes slightly in.”
However, Great Perfection absolutely didn’t include the ones with numbers around 30.
Simply put, in the midst of these Ghost Servants, even if Song Cheng was sleeping, as long as his Gang Qi wasn’t exhausted, the Ghost Servants wouldn’t be able to harm him at all.
“Open a slit in the gate, I’ll defend.”
Song Cheng decisively stated.
Since he had to display the power of the “Peak of Force Realm,” he wouldn’t hide.
An Chenyu, however, lowered her voice and said, “Song, don’t overdo it.”
Song Cheng said, “Don’t worry, Sister An.”
An Chenyu’s apricot eyes flashed, yet she decisively said, “Open a line of the city gate.”
Song Cheng gripped his blade and strode forward. Along the way, he grabbed two more ordinary blades in case the Fine Blade broke.
The crowd was chaotic, with many wealthy merchants shouting things like “No way, how can we open it?”
However, the Ruyi Commerce Chamber president was highly esteemed.
Plus, if the gate wasn’t opened, it wouldn’t last much longer.
Therefore, the city gate finally opened.
Song Cheng stood before the gate, one man and one blade.
Wind and rain swept the city, inside and outside the city.
The Ghost Servants rushed forward in a black mass.
Song Cheng began his attack.
With strength between “51~102,” it was more than enough to crush the current scene, and “Form Realm Great Perfection” added a fail-safe ensuring he couldn’t be defeated.
The magical Willow Brushing Force guided the long blade to kill like lethal willow branches.
Human skin exploded, eerie screams pierced the air, but not a single Ghost Servant could take a step forward.
Tonight, at the East city gate, there was Song Cheng… invincible.
Within half a stick of incense time, over a hundred Ghost Servants were exterminated.
The heart-stopping scene was imprinted in the spring rain.
Everyone stood with lanterns in hand, staring blankly at a scene that would only ever appear from the mouth of a storyteller…
Song Cheng shook his numb arms and then looked at the Fine Blade…
Not bad, it didn’t crack. Truly worthy of being made by the Royal craftsmen.
He closed the city gate again, walked to Miss An, and said, “My lady, it’s resolved.”
In front of others, he also called her my lady.
An Chenyu looked at him deeply and said, “Husband, you’ve worked hard.”
After saying that, she turned to the crowd and said, “Everyone, do not slack off, secure the city gate tightly, the Ghost Servants might continue to launch attacks.”
A group of people hurried into action.
An Chenyu, directing the guards, made some arrangements, then pointed out several guards to come to Song Cheng and said, “Husband, we’ll need to keep working hard tonight.
We’ll circle around to check the North, West, and South gates. I’m worried other places might be breached.”
Song Cheng nodded.
