Chapter 864: Little Mengchang

“The two seniors…”
When Rong Sen caught up, he happened to see Xi Ying retreating in a frenzied state, his chest covered in blood, while Wan Wan’s shoulders were also stained bright red—a shocking sight. In contrast, Kai Xin stood unharmed, alone, dozens of meters away, which made Rong Sen gasp in shock and feel stunned.
Although he knew Kai Xin was highly skilled and ranked high on the list of the Top Ten Extraordinary People, Xi Ying and Wan Wan were both warriors at the mythic realm level! With Shi Feixuan seriously injured and not present, could Kai Xin really be fighting two opponents at once and still holding the upper hand? Had he injured both Xi Ying and Wan Wan?
Seeing this scene, Rong Sen almost thought he was dreaming!
Xi Ying radiated an overwhelming aura, like a demon god—such a vivid sensation made Rong Sen freeze in place. Xi Ying vanished from his sight in an instant.
Wan Wan snapped angrily, “Betrayal!” She didn’t dare stay any longer either and turned to leave—since Xi Ying had run away, what could she, a wounded woman, do? This was near the Central Plains camp, not the Mongol camp.
Kai Xin didn’t get up to stop them.
Deflecting Wan Wan’s attacks twice in a row was already a significant strain, and his life-saving technique, the Silver Light Arhat, had already been used. Continuing the pursuit might not yield an advantage against two experts at the mythic realm.
He understood the importance of knowing when to stop.
Though he had used his precious “Little Li Flying Knife” to save Shi Feixuan this time, it could be considered self-preservation—his over 30,000 combat points had been hard-earned, and it was already quite good that he had managed to survive despite the combined efforts of two mythic realm warriors.
His gaze shifted, landing on a Mongol man riding his mount and fleeing away…
He frowned slightly.
Although this guy was just a player at the Life and Death realm, he was tough and as difficult to deal with as a mythic realm warrior. There was no need to pursue him further.
“Rong Sen…” Kai Xin had already remembered this man’s name. With his cultivation of the Prajna Dragon Elephant Skill reaching such a level, his strength couldn’t be underestimated. It was a shame he was Mongol; there might be no chance to meet him again in the future.
What a pity about such a good opponent…
Kai Xin sighed inwardly.
Since the battle with the Emperor, there had been few suitable opponents left in the Central Plains. Though this felt good, it also made Kai Xin feel vaguely uneasy.
In his past life, he had strived for powerful goals, gradually rising to the Sword Forum of Huashan and achieving success. Now, with no goals ahead, he felt a sense of emptiness and aimlessness.
This wasn’t a good sign!
The appearance of Rong Sen finally stirred some caution in him…

At least there are still some opponents in the world who can give him a hard time.
That’s right!
Opponents!
These people can’t be called targets—they can only be called “opponents”!
……
But Kai Xin clearly didn’t realize that his encounter with Rong Sen this time had left an indelible mark on the latter’s mind—a fierce rival, a target!
Rong Sen, galloping away in panic, experienced tension for the first time…
“The greatest master in the Central Plains truly lives up to his reputation.”
During their first encounter, Kai Xin’s sharpness and ferocity awakened every dormant cell within him, forcing him to face urgent pressure as he gave his all in front of the players;
But the second time, Kai Xin’s agility made him realize what weakness meant…
Though he did well in defense and counterattacks, the corpses of the Male and Female Demons made him understand what being at a disadvantage meant twice over;
His fight with Wan Wan made him realize when he couldn’t intervene;
The defeats of Xi Ying and Wan Wan made him clearly aware of the gap between them!
Even though Kai Xin had never defeated him head-on, Rong Sen already felt a deep sense of frustration.
At least he couldn’t confront the two legendary experts at the Mythical Realm, Xi Ying and Wan Wan, head-on, nor could he easily kill the Male and Female Demons with Wan Wan holding him back.
“I’ll come back again!”
Hearing the system message indicating mission failure, Rong Sen took a deep breath. His hands, tightly gripping the reins, turned blue, exuding the unyielding aura of a primordial beast.
……
After the battle, Kai Xin took out a spare horse token, summoned Ti Ying, and without hesitation activated the technique of merging man and horse, racing toward the camp.
Soon, he encountered a group of Qin King’s cavalry charging toward him.
“That’s Young Master Kai Xin ahead.”
The cavalry wore bright clothes and rode proudly, different from the usual cavalry. At the front were a man and a woman of outstanding grace—the man was tall and bold, with a square face and furrowed brows, holding a long spear in his hand, radiating great momentum; the woman wore a red dress, beautiful and striking, and her Red Feather clearly identified her as someone special.
“It turns out to be General Qin and Lady Qin.”
“Great! Young Master Kai Xin, I’m glad you’re safe. Miss Shi said you sacrificed yourself to cover her escape by blocking the Demon Gate’s Lord Xi Ying and the Witch Wan Wan. I truly admire you!”
Qin Qiong, known as the “Little Meng Chang” for his chivalrous spirit, couldn’t help but show admiration when he saw Kai Xin return unharmed.
At that moment, Kai Xin was still worried about Shi Feixuan’s condition.
After asking, Qin Qiong grew even more respectful—Kai Xin had thought of the seriously injured Shi Feixuan first after escaping. No wonder he was highly regarded by the successor of Ci Hang Jing Zhai.

The woman named Hong Fu beside him answered the happy question. It turned out that although Shi Feixuan was seriously injured, she happened to encounter patrolling cavalry on the way and was immediately escorted back to the camp. These soldiers then notified Qin Qiong, who was patrolling nearby, to come to the rescue.
“Thank you, General Qin!”
“What are you saying? Young Hero Kai Xin risked his life to save Miss Shi and fend off the enemy. It’s only natural for me to do my part. It’s a pity I couldn’t see Young Hero Kai Xin fighting bravely against Tianjun Xi Ying and the witch Wan Wan…”
As they spoke, the entire group turned and headed back to the camp!
“King Qin was deeply moved upon hearing that Miss Shi and Young Hero Kai Xin went on a reconnaissance mission together. He must have already sent a military doctor to treat Miss Shi… Young Hero Kai Xin has made great contributions this time. It’s a good opportunity for us to meet King Qin and the Marshal together…”
“Thank you.”
Kai Xin also had a high regard for General Qin Qiong beside him, but he was still worried about Shi Feixuan’s condition and the skilled Mongolian warrior he had met on the grasslands, so he didn’t say much. After chatting casually, the group finally returned to the camp.
Qin Qiong personally led Kai Xin straight to the central command tent. At this point, Kai Xin realized that his task of successfully covering Shi Feixuan’s escape had likely been exceeded, and his merits were even greater than those from sneaking into the enemy camp the previous night. It seemed his military achievements would increase again!
“Reporting to the Marshal, Young Hero Kai Xin is outside the tent!”
A confident bodyguard rushed in to report. Soon, a strong and robust laugh came from inside: “What Young Hero Kai Xin? He’s now Captain Kai Xin! Hurry! Bring him in!” From the tone, Kai Xin could tell the speaker was in a good mood. He immediately straightened himself up, stood tall, and followed Qin Qiong into the tent!
