Free Web NovelChapter 2574: Chapter 125: Mortal Defiers of Fate (2)
Completely disregarding the invading armies of Qiao Country, Zhang Yang landed here with extreme flamboyance.
As the rolling Soldier Slayer dispersed, the massive scar on his face became visible.
He crouched slightly, reached out to examine the headless corpse on the ground, and from the dispersion of power traces, confirmed that this was indeed the target of the journey.
"Yang Chongzu is already dead," he mumbled. "How do I prove this to Xiao Shu?"
As for who killed him, he didn’t care.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up again and waved to several cautious Qiao Country cultivators who approached, "Hey! I’m calling you! Come and identify the person!"
...
...
One, two, three.
The cavalry in black helmets and armor, each wielding long spears, rode into view.
Soon came a vast and overwhelming horde, rumbling and roaring, rolling like dark clouds over the high heavens, pressing down to the human world!
The black clouds pressed down on the city, as if the end times were upon them.
Woo~Woo~Woo!!!
The horn calling soldiers to prepare for battle echoed with a sense of desolation.
Trees and grasses fell, the earth and sky frosted.
No one believed they could withstand this war.
But... why?
The Western Expansion War had already ended!
The Gao Country had already accepted the ceded territories!
The Five Nation Alliance had already dispersed, each licking their wounds.
Why did the valiant cavalry of Jingguo suddenly invade?
King Li Ji of Gao Country was considered responsible, and he personally stood atop the city wall at this moment, shouting loudly: "After the battle has ceased, peace is hard-earned. The ceasefire agreement just signed, does Jingguo now intend to tear it up!? How can the credibility of a great country be disregarded, how can the Hegemony Country act recklessly like this, and how can the world be subdued?!"
Within the cavalry formation like ink clouds, one rider emerged alone, pulling the reins, gazing at Li Ji from afar, saying only: "This General has come not to invade your small country. It is to follow the Dao of Heaven, slay demons and punish evil, hand over the demonic and evil Li Bangyou, and preserve your nation!"
Li Ji never expected, that the Crown Prince Li Bangyou, still held in the Heavenly Prison, was the target of Jingguo’s valiant cavalry’s arrival.
Although he was quite annoyed with Li Bangyou for the affair of threatening Yu Jingqiu, and even once harbored murderous intentions. But after all, he was his own Crown Prince, and after all, had exceptional talent and genius.
Moreover, many ministers pleaded for Li Bangyou, showing that his deeds were not entirely unpopular.
He thought to strip the title of Crown Prince once, imprison for a while, refine temperament, and observe the results...
How could the people of Jingguo consider a child not even nine years old?
Li Ji was both astonished and angry and suspicious, shouting loudly, "Li Bangyou is the Crown Prince of our Gao Country! He is not who you say he is and who you say he is! I respect the great power of heavenly might, how can an Angel be without the ceremonies of a great country!? Does Jing’s Son of Heaven know of this matter? I want to question with the National Book!"
The cavalry general of the valiant army remained indifferent to the words of King Li Ji, merely turning slightly and asking the person behind him, "What does the relic say?"
Behind him, there was a guard cavalry clad in full armor, who replied lowly, "My Young Master said, let’s make sure that Li Bangyou is completely dead."
"I understand." The general nodded with composure.
As his gaze turned back to the city wall, he had already drawn the sword from its sheath!
Swish!
The cavalry behind him drew their swords simultaneously, thousands and thousands synced into one sound, shaking hundreds of miles, splitting clouds straight open.
The valiant cavalry general raised his sword high, gazing at Li Ji, and his voice echoed across the fields with vehement intensity: "This General has led the army here today, not to negotiate with you! It is either hand over Li Bangyou today, or let this Gao Country change its surname!"
...
...
The winds and clouds of the world are ever-changing, not just for Wei, or Dan, nor confined to Qiao and Gao, even beyond Various Countries.
Within the White Deer Academy, Yu Liangfu, known for his dullness and clumsiness, suddenly burst forth, furiously killing his senior fellow disciple, cultivation seed Li Yuwu, an event that resounded to all sides.
Especially under the personal pursuit of Li Yuwu’s God Descending Realm father and the head of White Deer Academy, Yu Liangfu still fled in a youthful way, shocking countless eyes.
But the matters that many viewed as notable anecdotes didn’t present much challenge for Yu Liangfu.
There is indeed an insurmountable gap between God Descending Realm cultivators and Outer Tower cultivators, but for one whose true body once ascended to True Godhood, some ordinary Godly cultivators are not particularly special.
The strength an ordinary Godly cultivator can wield, the methods he can conceive, can be easily exhausted in Yu Liangfu’s mind.
Confronting head-on is inadvisable, but evasion and distancing have a high certainty of success.
The concurrent pursuit by two strong God Descenders obviously posed a danger, yet within the numerous maneuvers and preparations made by him at White Deer Academy, he remained composed.
The true mortal peril came only after Qingya Academy intervened—its numerous affiliate academies reacted quickly and fiercely, surpassing his expectations.
He faintly sensed the situation spiraling out of control, but due to severed communication with his main body, he temporarily couldn’t discern the problem’s nature.
Though Qingya Academy only dispatched one God Descending Realm cultivator, its major sect background was extraordinary. Numerous secret techniques chased Yu Liangfu to a point of despair.
Although his insight far exceeded the other’s, lacking external support and resources left him merely fleeing helplessly.
After several brushes with near-death crises, engaging in a risky gambit, he barely managed to shake off the scholar.
Though sacrificing an arm allowed him to narrowly escape... such adversity precisely amounted to a genuine mortal struggle.
He reckoned that after surviving this calamity, the feedback to his true body could aid its further empowerment. Once his true body grew stronger, it could in turn support other sub-bodies... in such a virtuous cycle of mutual benefit, the nearly impossible feat of overcoming six calamities in unison might be achievable, akin to his gambit for deification in that endgame!
