Lord in the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 85: County Magistrate Huo Ling

Riding a red warhorse (green garde), a red-armored man arrogantly shouted:

"Don’t talk about this nest; the entire Wufeng Ridge is the private property of the county magistrate!"

"County magistrate!?" Long Chen exclaimed.

Seeing Long Chen looking surprised, the red-armored man thought he was afraid after hearing his official position.

So he snorted, "Indeed, I am the county magistrate of Changxing County, Danyang County!"

"Now that you’ve heard my name, you better scram. Otherwise, when I unleash my power, all of you will stay here forever!"

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Long Chen shook his head silently.

But it’s understandable, considering that nowadays, the highest level of development for players is becoming a county magistrate!

Managing an entire county, it’s reasonable for someone to have such an attitude.

But in the eyes of Long Chen, it was quite ridiculous — just a frog at the bottom of a well.

Thinking that the small area he sees when he looks up is the entire world!

In reality, there are always people beyond people and worlds beyond worlds!

Why is he the county magistrate of Changxing County?

Because Long Chen had already wiped out most of the bandits in Wu County and Jiujang County.

The remaining ones were just small fry, and many bandits, upon hearing about Long Chen’s anti-bandit activities, scattered and fled.

They fled to other counties, resumed their lawless activities, and caused chaos.

So, for leveling up, Long Chen had to choose a location closer to Wu County!

That led him to attack the bandits in Changxing County’s mountainous area.

Unexpectedly, luck was on his side, and he encountered the local authority directly!

In fact, the county magistrate of Changxing County also came because hunters in the county had heard of a big monster on Wufeng Ridge that comes out to roam at night!

Whether it’s a fierce tiger or a cruel wolf, they are no match for this big monster!

To investigate this information about the monster from official channels, "Huo Ling" led the county’s army to observe in the mountains.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived, they saw another group of people trying to enter the nest.

Who could sleep soundly while their bed is being occupied!

Huo Ling was immediately unhappy!

"Hey! Have you heard my words? Hurry up and get lost!"

Seeing Long Chen remain silent, Huo Ling burst into anger. fгeewebnovёl.com

Laughing out loud, in Changxing County, I, Huo Ling, am the local king. No one has ever dared to ignore me like this!

This stranger in silver armor is the first to dare. Although he has five or six hundred soldiers, he’s no match for my five thousand soldiers.

Because Long Chen needs to escort the captured bandits’ supplies, he only left himself with five or six hundred elite soldiers, while the rest went to transport the goods.

This gave Huo Ling a misconception.

The fiery spear in his hand suddenly burst into brilliant sparks!

Huo Ling horizontally held the fiery spear in front of him and sternly rebuked, "Thief, how dare you disrespect the county magistrate! Prepare to die!"

With that, he charged on his red warhorse, and the fiery spear in his hand bloomed into a flurry of spear flowers.

"Try my latest learned Flaming Spear Technique!!!"

This Flaming Spear Technique was a B-grade technique he had exchanged for at a high price from a mysterious merchant.

With his flaming horse, he sped to the extreme, resembling a rocket.

Whoosh—

A pierce into Long Chen.

"It seems I haven’t really fought against strangers much; I’ve mostly battled local NPCs before!" Long Chen thought to himself.

"This is a perfect chance to understand the fighting style of these players! Plus, I haven’t really used the White Tiger Spear Technique that much after practicing it externally. This will be a good practice session!"

Immediately, Long Chen lightly lifted the Horned Spear and collided head-on with the charging Huo Ling.

Huo Ling was flung back several yards with his warhorse.

While Long Chen... took a slight step back.

Alright, now he knows the extent of Huo Ling’s strength. He can suppress his own power to a level below Huo Ling’s, just enough to hone his White Tiger Spear Technique!

After being sent flying, Huo Ling was shaken. He didn’t expect this person to be so bold!

His originally prepared skill for a sure-kill was blocked. He then called on several deputy generals to attack together.

Long Chen handled it effortlessly!

And his S-rank White Tiger Spear Technique gradually grew stronger through this practice.

Huo Ling and his men were increasingly alarmed!

Several of them couldn’t suppress Long Chen alone.

And Long Chen’s seemingly leisurely and relaxed demeanor further infuriated them.

Soon, disregarding the rules of combat, Huo Ling ordered the entire army to attack!

Five thousand cavalry charging with ferocity!

"Goodness! No sense of honor in battle!!!" Long Chen retorted.

Huo Ling, upon hearing this, glared fiercely, retorting, "With so many of us, who cares about honor in battle! Soldiers, charge with me!!!"

"Charge!!!"

Since that’s the case, Long Chen no longer held back!

He directly led Xu Chu and his five hundred soldiers, erupting with an awe-inspiring momentum of a thousand soldiers.

And Long Chen directly unleashed his suppressed power, instantly creating a tumultuous storm of wind and thunder.

Thunder and lightning danced wildly, flickering unpredictably!

"Lightning Strike. Thunder Spear!!!"

The Horned Spear turned into a thunderous snake, darting into the midst of the five thousand cavalry.

"Ahhh!!!"

The piercing screams echoed through the skies!

Huo Ling stood there dumbfounded, staring at Long Chen in shock, his eyes wide as copper bells.

"What the heck! Were you this amazing just now?!!"

"If you were this amazing, why didn’t you say so earlier!! If I can’t beat you, can’t I run away from you?!!"

Long Chen left everyone with a desolate silhouette, akin to a recluse dwelling in the mountains and forests.

Shaking his head in self-reflection, he sighed, "Sigh..."

"I initially intended to test my mediocre martial skills against you, but you lack honor in battle..."

"Fine, I’ll lay it out! I have the strength of a second-rate martial general!"

Seeing Long Chen’s almost asking-for-a-beating expression when he turned, Huo Ling felt a lump in his chest, as if blood was about to spurt out at any moment.

"You!? Who are you!?"

Seeing his meager assets being scattered by Xu Chu and his Yellow Turban warriors, Huo Ling felt like a heavy stone was pressing on his chest!

"Pfft—"

Long Chen lifted the Horned Spear and calmly said, "I live right next to you!"

"Next door!? With such strength, you’re definitely not the leader of the neighboring county. Then you must be the newly appointed governor of Wu County, Long Jue Ming!!!"

Huo Ling, guessing Long Chen’s identity, lost all sense of vigor in his eyes.

What kind of existence had he provoked!

"Brother Long! Brother Long, spare my life!" Huo Ling immediately surrendered, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Long, I was blind and didn’t recognize Mount Tai! Just let me go!"

Xu Chu slashed off a few cavalrymen and dismounted them from their horses.

He spat, "Can you call him Brother Long?!"

"Call him Grandpa!!"

Huo Ling quickly licked up to Long Chen, pleading, "Grandpa, Grandpa, spare my life!"

At this point, Huo Ling was willing to do anything to save himself!

Long Chen pondered for a moment.
