My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 658: Shameless Father and Son

“What are you staring at? You’re so old, yet you’re not even as good as two new recruits. Get your ass over there and clean up the battlefield!” The veteran barked and kicked Father Qin’s butt.

Qin Feng and Qin An watched in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

The Northern Ghost Head, once revered by the world as a legend, was now being ordered around by an ordinary soldier. Who could believe that?

After scolding Father Qin, the old soldier stepped forward and pinched Qin An’s arm, admiring, “These muscles and bones are probably born with divine power. No wonder you can shake the Earth Spitting Elephant. When your cultivation reaches the Fifth Level, won’t you be able to soar like a dragon? Not bad, not bad.”

At the same time, a group of archers gathered around Qin Feng, their eyes full of admiration as they spoke at the same time.

“Did you shoot down those ghost owls earlier? Being able to draw a bow without any arrows, what kind of power is that?”

“I’ve never heard of the concept of ‘Unshootable Shot’ before. Brother, how about showing us again so we can learn?”

“After practicing archery for over a decade, I’m still not as good as a new recruit. It just goes to show that each generation is stronger than the last.”

Father Qin, who was not far away, could clearly understand what was happening. Gnashing his teeth, he muttered, “Those two brats.”

Qin Feng and Qin Feng have become the idols of all the recruits, and they are surrounded by people. 

Meanwhile, Father Qin silently followed behind the team, quietly watching their backs. After a long time, he sighed.

Suddenly, he remembered what the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower had said in the Heavenly Tower. Even though the National Teacher could remove them from this matter, he couldn’t change their own will.

As the saying goes, a father knows his son best. Father Qin understood that even if he kicked them out, those two brats would still find a way to come to the southern region and avoid him.

“In that case, it’s better to keep an eye on Qin Feng and Qin An. That way, if they run into any danger, I can still take care of them and prevent them from falling into mortal danger…”

“Well, let it be so,” Father Qin said helplessly as he looked at his two sons who were adored by everyone. A smile of relief inadvertently appeared on his face.

Unbeknownst to him, his two sons had grown up and were now able to take on their own responsibilities.

As they crossed the mountains, the warhorses suddenly became restless.

“General Lie, look quickly!” a soldier shouted in shock.

Everyone looked forward with horrified expressions on their faces. A huge Green Dragon, large enough to wrap around a mountain, had been twisted into a grotesque shape, dead beyond death.

“The strength of this azure dragon must have reached the realm of seven calamity cycles. Who could possess such a great power?”

“It’s obviously crushed by sheer divine power. And judging from the state of its coagulated blood, it must have died not long ago.”

“Wait, didn’t those demons and spirits suddenly disperse earlier? Could it be that this Green Dragon was killed by someone?”

“Is someone secretly helping us?”

Lie Ying stared at the Green Dragon and rubbed his chin in thought.

Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the huge army. Tens of thousands of soldiers stretched out for miles, and with nearly half of them still navigating through the mountains, they were completely out of sight.

With a slight furrow in his brow, Lie Ying said, “Perhaps a Divine General passed by and casually slaughtered this beast. Pay no attention to it, continue your journey. Let’s try to cover a third of the distance before nightfall.”

“Understood, General Lì.”

After all the Military War Duke Army crossed the mountain, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the huge corpse of Green Dragon.

The silver-haired man looked down and muttered, “There seems to be a master hiding among the ranks of the Military War Duke Army. As far as I can recall, there are no more than ten people who can twist the Ghost Dragon like that with their bare hands. And the most likely of them is the long-lost Lord Northern Ghost Head.”

“Hmm, quite interesting. This is a good opportunity to test the power of Divine Medicine.”

…

As night fell, stars dotted the sky.

At the foot of the mountain, campfires dotted the landscape, looking like a ring of fire from afar.

After a day’s march, the Duke’s military army pitched camp, cooked the day’s harvest, and ate heartily.

After satisfying their hunger and thirst, the soldiers gathered around the campfire, boasting of their bravery in slaying demons and ghosts and reminiscing about past battles, filling the hearts of the new recruits with longing.

And the battle they were most proud of and talked about in recent days was undoubtedly the battle against the disaster in the Western Regions.

“The dangers posed by today’s ghost and demon disaster are nothing compared to the battle in the Western Regions.”

“In fact, in that battle, as far as the eye could see, there were only bodies of demons and ghosts, even with endless killing, and my sword edge was wearing out, but I still couldn’t see an end.”

“And that terrifying Ghost King, called something like Mao Yin? Its strength was far beyond that of the  enemies we encountered before, it spewed out a green flame that spread like wildfire in a single breath.”

“Looking back now, it’s truly incredible that we were able to return from that battle alive.”

An old soldier sighed, “It’s all thanks to Master Qin and Northern Ghost Head. If it weren’t for these two, even if we had nine lives, we would have perished.”

“Yes, Master Qin is indeed remarkable. Shortly after arriving in the Imperial City, his reputation skyrocketed. In the midst of the disaster in the western regions, he single-handedly turned the tide.”

“And that man in the black robe with the ghostly face, I didn’t find out until the last battle with the Asura Clan that he was the rumored Northern Ghost Head.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and the others couldn’t help but be intrigued.

Qin Feng even deliberately asked, “Is Master Qin really as amazing as you say?”

The old soldiers frowned at his words. Who dared to question the prestige of Master Qin within the military?

Turning to the young archer, whose skill with a bow was unparalleled, they softened their stance. “You’re new here and didn’t participate in the Western Regions Battle, so it’s understandable that you don’t know. Let me tell you…”

“…Creating gunpowder, improving the art of controlling martial qi, establishing the Peaceful Academy, and allowing students from humble backgrounds to enter the court. Who else could have done these things before, or even dared to dream of them?”

“That’s Master Qin for you!”

After listening to the soldiers’ praise, Qin Feng felt satisfied. “I thought Master Qin was just a talented and eloquent man, but he’s far more formidable than the rumors suggest. I truly envy him.”

When Qin An and Father Qin heard this, they both twitched the corners of their mouths  thinking about his shamelessness.

Father Qin cleared his throat and said, “Then tell me about Lord Ghost Head’s heroic deeds. His battle with the Asura Clan filled me with excitement. A true man indeed!”

The veteran soldiers didn’t hold back either, vividly describing the scene where Ghost Head faced Mao Yin during the expedition to the western regions. Admiration and praise filled the air.

Father Qin nodded slightly and smiled with satisfaction. “Ghost Head is truly remarkable. There are probably only a few men in the world who can match him. If I had even a thousandth of his demeanor, I could laugh in my dreams.”

“Indeed,” the surrounding soldiers echoed.

Qin Feng on the side immediately cast a disdainful glance.

Qin An turned his head away, even wanting to distance himself from them. He felt that his elder brother and father were extremely shameless!

At that moment, under the light of the fire, one of the veteran soldiers stared at Qin Feng for a moment before suddenly exclaiming, “I thought you looked familiar before, and now I’m even more sure. Could you lift your military cap a bit and wipe off the dirt on your face so that I can take a closer look?”

Qin Feng’s face froze in place.
