Chapter 547: The Grand Gift Before Falling Asleep

Qing State, Qing River

A special naval battle was erupting with hundreds of warships engaged in combat. The Demon Humans had constructed warships, though smaller than the human ones, in great numbers. Some Demon Human tribes could live underwater and were sinking the human ships continuously.

When Lin Jiang arrived, he saw that the waters of the Qing River had turned red, filled with countless corpses of both humans and Demon Humans. In the distance, martial arts masters could be seen flying high and striking down heavily in the battlefield.

On the south shore, there are many people coming to help, but they don’t have warships, only some fishing boats and small boats, still charging forward fearlessly.

"What are you doing, scared silly?"

"Don’t just stand there, fight the enemies. If we don’t defeat those Demon Humans, we’re all doomed."

Lin Jiang had already taken off his mask. A warrior passed by and said to Lin Jiang, thinking he was a new soldier terrified by the battle.

"Okay."

Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and followed the man.

"Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one. Why is there one more person?"

"Forget it, sail, sail, charge ahead."

Lin Jiang boarded a fishing boat with the man. The leader just nodded, not caring about the extra person. There were warriors from different clans gathering on this side of the Clan Alliance, some were new and didn’t know each other.

"Listen to me, when the boat reaches the battlefield, attack all the Demon Humans. Be careful not to fall into the water, as there are strong Demon Humans in it. We must be cautious to avoid being killed."

"Whenever you have the chance, get on the big boats as they are safer. Keeping the warships safe means victory."

"Don’t be afraid, reinforcements from the Immortal Sect and Wu Sect are on their way. If we die in battle, we will be honored in our family’s ancestral grave. Everyone will take care of our families. But if anyone flees the battlefield, they will be dishonored and their families will be expelled."

The leader on the boat rallied the people, unsure if the news was true or not. Lin Jiang saw the fear in others on the boat, realizing they were second-stringers sent to support the frontline fighters struggling.

"They’re here, get ready for battle!"

As they approached the battlefield, a small boat ahead capsized. The cause was unknown, but the river seemed to boil, and nearby boats rushed to help.

Despite this, Lin Jiang’s boat headed towards the center of the battlefield. Close to the fighting, warriors clashed with Demon Humans in the water, where the humans were clearly at a disadvantage and suffered heavy losses.

"*BOOM*"

Suddenly, tentacles broke through the bottom of the boat. Lin Jiang swiftly cut them off with a wave of his hand.

"The boat is sinking, run up to the warship using light skill."

The leader shouted loudly, the small boat was starting to take in water quickly, and it was sinking soon. It was best to use light skill to escape.

Everyone used light skill to fly away together, but it was still not safe. Demon Human could suddenly appear in the water, pulling warriors down. Lin Jiang even saw a Demon Human that looked like a mermaid, but without the beauty. Its fierce and terrifying face was enough to scare anyone away.

"Bang"

"Plop"

A mermaid-like creature flew up in front of Lin Jiang, trying to pull him underwater. Lin Jiang swung his sword, blood spattered, and in the blink of an eye, he had jumped onto a warship.

The battle for the warship became even more brutal. Demon Human had already surged onto the warship, and both sides fought fiercely. Lin Jiang charged forward with his sword, cutting down each Demon Human one by one, quickly clearing one side of the deck.

Lin Jiang’s bravery caught many people’s attention. The main forces of the Clan Alliance had arrived earlier than expected. Normally, there shouldn’t have been any skilled fighters among the second-line troops.

Lin Jiang, feeling helpless, put on his mask once again. This time, many people recognized him.

"It’s Mr. Zhang."

"Mr. Zhang."

Lin Jiang stayed at Clan Alliance’s camp for a while, then visited the Lin family for a while, and many people recognized Lin Jiang.

"Clear the deck, use our warship to sink the Demon Human’s warship."

Lin Jiang yelled loudly, in a naval battle, without cannons, ramming is a good tactic, and not all Demon Humans are good at sea on the other side.

With Lin Jiang leading the charge, this warship quickly returned under human control.

"Mr. Zhang, quickly rescue the flagship, the flagship is in trouble."

Someone shouted, in the distance, the largest warship was now on fire, and Lin Jiang even saw the figure of Lin Huasheng, who was struggling, surrounded by several Martial Saint level Demon Humans.

With a leap, Lin Jiang jumped more than ten meters, saw a Demon Human in the water surface, used him as a springboard once, and landed steadily on the deck of the flagship.

The handsome ship is full of skilled people, the human race is almost defeated, Lin Jiang gathered his strength and swung his sword, slicing through whatever the opponent had.

"Sixth Patriarch, help me."

Lin Huasheng saw Lin Jiang and shouted with joy.

"You go deal with the other Demon Humans, leave this place to me."

Lin Jiang shouted and charged into the battle. The threat brought by Lin Jiang was immense, and all the Martial Saint-level Demon Humans attacked him.

The Martial Saint-level Demon Humans had few characteristics of demons and looked very similar to humans. If some hidden features were concealed, it was really hard to tell if they were humans or demons.

Several Martial Saint Demon Humans surrounding Lin Jiang were armed, emitting a terrifying momentum. Their strength was stronger than most Martial Saints Lin Jiang had encountered, not weaker than Qin Wuyang’s level.

In terms of martial arts skills, Lin Jiang didn’t have many advantages. His strength lay in his tough body and powerful internal strength. When facing enemies, Lin Jiang usually crushed them with his strong internal strength. This time, Lin Jiang also used the advantage of his body.

Lin Jiang didn’t defend at all, relying on his body to withstand attacks, while channeling internal strength into his sword to unleash a full force attack on one of the Demon Humans.

"Poof"

During the clash with Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang’s sword qi split him straight in half, creating a huge hole in the deck. Although Lin Jiang was hit several times, his clothes were torn, but he didn’t seem to have any other injuries.

This scene stunned the other Martial Saint Demon Humans, who then turned pale and tried to flee. Lin Jiang coldly snorted and stopped one of them. The others didn’t come to help and continued to run away on their own.

Having witnessed Lin Jiang’s prowess, the frightened Martial Saint Demon Human who was stopped didn’t dare to attack anymore. They desperately fled and defended themselves, making Lin Jiang feel a bit unsure of what to do.

"Poof"

However, he didn’t notice that Lin Huasheng had already dealt with his opponent, sneaking behind him and striking with a decisive blow.

"The Demon Human army is retreating."

Lin Jiang saw that as the Martial Saint Demon Humans retreated, some in the Demon Human army also blew the retreat horn and began to pull back to the south bank.

"Sixth Patriarch, should we pursue?"

"I just arrived, and you’re asking me?"

Lin Jiang asked back, not knowing anything about the situation yet, only that there was chaos and fighting just after he arrived.

Lin Huasheng chuckled at the news, immediately ordered the retreat, and the flagship signaled the other warships to stop chasing the enemy, gathering together to rescue the fallen warriors.

One day later, Lin Jiang returned to the main camp of Clan Alliance, where all the news was gathered, and Lin Jiang got a general idea of the situation.

About ten years ago, Lin Jiang captured Demon Human Yuanji on the north bank of the Qing River, gaining a deeper understanding of the Demon Humans. Since Lin Jiang’s departure, Qing State’s influence continued to infiltrate the north bank of the Qing River, gathering information on Demon Humans. These frequent activities made the Demon Humans uneasy, prompting them to increase their forces on the north bank of the Qing River, with many Demon Humans arriving from deep within Zhong State, You State, and even North State, as well as numerous Demon Human Martial Saints.

Over the past few years, there have been many small-scale conflicts between the two sides, escalating each time. This time, it escalated into a major battle, with the Demon Humans launching a large-scale attack on the south bank under the cover of night two nights ago, but were discovered by the patrolling soldiers, resulting in a hasty battle.

In this battle, the humans suffered heavy losses, with two Martial Saints killed in action. If it weren’t for Lin Jiang’s arrival, Lin Huasheng would have been in danger. It was Lin Jiang who slew two Martial Saint Demon Humans, balancing the high-end combat strength.

"There are too many Martial Saints among the Demon Humans. Fortunately, a few years ago we decided to send more Martial Saints to guard the defense line. Otherwise, this time we would have been breached in one attack, and the war would have reached Qing State. Sixth Patriarch, we need to come up with a plan, otherwise Qing State will be in danger."

"The current situation is indeed not optimistic."

"Sixth Patriarch, I am worried about the direction of Liang State, which is in the southeast. The Qing River originates there, with a narrow river surface and treacherous land that cannot stop the Demon Human. Once they break into Liang State, it will be impossible to stop them."

"Are there many Demon Human in Liang State?"

"Not many. Liang State is very desolate, with few human and Demon Human inhabitants. They may not yet know that Liang State leads to Qing State, but we cannot rely on that. Once they discover it, they will definitely come from Liang State."

"How many troops are stationed in the direction of Liang State?"

"Very few. The southeastern part of Liang State and the northwestern part of Qing State are connected by tall mountains. No matter how many people are sent in, it is of no use."

"I understand."

Lin Jiang nodded, realizing that before going into a deep sleep, they needed to send a great gift to Qing State, such as skilled fighters who could defeat the Demon Human. This way, they could rest peacefully.
