Free Web NovelChapter 1748: Chapter 1357: First Blood Sends Shockwaves
With that shout, Gu Changsheng’s voice was full and resounding; not only did it shock Borjigin Lvchi’s group, even the Dark Night Army was momentarily stunned, clueless!
Seeing no response to her shout, Gu Changsheng was instantly aggravated!
Oh my god!
These kids who’ve never been in a gang fight, what can she say?
Confronted back and forth, although Gu Changsheng cursed fiercely, she definitely wasn’t at the front line because she couldn’t afford such exposure.
Reaching out to push aside the bewildered subordinates in front of her, Gu Changsheng brandished the Chonghua Dagger in her hand, charging forward with a murderous presence!
"Swish!"
Just as Gu Changsheng approached the Envoy Honor Guard from Northern Mongolia, a flash of sword light appeared before her. Gu Changsheng squinted and saw a splash of red blooming in front of her!
Turning her head, she saw a tall figure in purple, holding a long Soft Sword standing beside her...
Gu Changsheng looked at the Chonghua Dagger in her hand, then at the blood-stained Soft Sword Zhou Mu held...
Damn it!
This is the difference between short weapons and long weapons—too eye-catching!
With the bloodshed, the already stunned groups became even more bewildered!
This...
Is this a real fight?
Moreover, a fight to the death?
"Those who offend our emperor deserve a hundred deaths! Kill!" Diao Chan, swinging a wooden club, finally came to her senses in the midst of the bloodshed!
Godfather!
Her mistress and son-in-law have already begun the charge; if they remain stagnant, they’ll surely face consequences upon returning!
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Instantly, the low roar of the Dark Night Army echoed!
Since Zhou Mu acted first, killing the first, Gu Changsheng’s unwillingness to lose ignited, and she wouldn’t hesitate to charge, turning herself into a red shadow and swinging the Chonghua Dagger towards the Envoy Honor Guard blocking Borjigin Lvchi...
"Ah!"
"Hiss!"
"Help!"
"..."
In no time, screams and cries resounded in front of Borjigin Lvchi; lying on the Palanquin, he saw this, and his eyes turned crimson, his whole body trembling with rage, frantically waving his powerless arms and shouting anxiously, "Gu Changsheng, you’ve gone too far! Kill! Kill them for me!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"..."
In that instant, the cries for slaughter echoed back and forth, and at the Guesthouse entrance, blood soared to the sky, turning into a chaotic battle!
The brawl became hand-to-hand combat; although Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu possessed immense prowess, they couldn’t employ their Inner Strength in this melee; once used, it would be an indiscriminate attack, killing not only the Northern Mongolian Envoy Honor Guard but also their own Dark Night Army!
Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu naturally wouldn’t commit such acts!
More accurately, Gu Changsheng never intended to be a lone hero; no matter how strong an individual’s ability is, it can’t match the power of a whole army. She felt she could barely take them on, but truly massacring soldiers at Yanmen Pass ruthlessly wasn’t something Gu Changsheng wanted to do!
"Swish!"
The Chonghua Dagger made another diagonal slash, accurately severing the neck of an approaching Northern Mongolian Honor Guard, creating a splash of blood as Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu led the charge, then stopped, standing at their original spot. They watched as their Dark Night Army charged into the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard as if entering an uninhabited realm, waiting for those who might miraculously break through to meet their doom!
This was a battle of vastly unequal strength!
More accurately, this was not a battle but a massacre!
A one-sided slaughter!
Gu Changsheng poured her heart into training the Dark Night Army, and compared to the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard, it was like an adult fighting with children, leaving the Northern Mongolian Honor Guard powerless to resist!
Blood...
Within moments, it had dyed the street in front of the Guesthouse red, flowing along the bricks on the ground, forming rivers, reflecting the glint of swords and blades, all turning into shades of blood-red...
The distant Yanmen Pass commoners, at this point, forgot their fear and didn’t hide, but stood blankly, watching petals of blood bloom before them, one after another Northern Mongolian Honor Guard falling lifeless to the ground, the blood water gathering increasingly...
They were momentarily disoriented and felt a sense of bewilderment!
How did all this happen?
Hadn’t they heard the cursing from the Guesthouse coming this way?
And then?
What happened next?
The confrontation moved from inside the Guesthouse to outside, with endless cursing. And then?
Then the Southern Emperor was furious, and when it was time to fight, it started; with blood spray setting off waves, they went to war...
No!
This is not a fight!
This is a massacre!
Before the 300,000 brave warriors of Yanmen Pass, the Southern Emperor gave an order, and her hundreds of subordinates really charged into the two thousand-strong Northern Mongolian envoy honor guard!
Killing at the mere mention, taunting was just to start the battle!
For a moment, the onlooking civilians forgot to flee, as if in a dream, some not knowing why everything has turned into this scene!
During the chaos in the Southern Border, stories of how valiant the Dark Night Army was, and how invincible Southern Emperor Changsheng was, had already spread across the world, known by all! However, knowing is one thing, they might just sigh in their hearts, but witnessing it firsthand is another matter altogether!
Rumors are never as impactful as what is seen with one’s own eyes!
Indeed!
How could they forget that she is the one who trampled the Southern Border and slaughtered the Southern Chen!
When she taunts, it’s not something that can be settled just by words!
In legends, the Southern Emperor was extraordinarily fierce, able to hold a pass alone, deterring ten thousand men, and if not, she wouldn’t have been in the esteemed position of Southern Emperor, and it wasn’t until this moment, in the largest city by the Northern Mongolian border, that the people of Yanmen Pass, accustomed to wars, suddenly realized, this is the Southern Emperor, this is Southern Emperor Changsheng!
This, truly is, the real Southern Emperor!
Blood gathered more and more on the streets, flowing into rivers!
The intense smell of blood and the bodies strewn across the ground make one want to retch, but at this moment, no one dared to. Those not participating in battle watched this slaughter with trembling hearts, while the combatants constantly faced the threat of death...
Fortunately, fortunately the two, who took a life with each strike, had stopped their assault!
Otherwise, mere two thousand Northern Mongolian honor guards would have disintegrated long ago!
Although, at this moment, they have already disintegrated!
And the one who stopped those two who slaughtered like tigers through the border was Borjigin Nian! The legitimate princess of Northern Mongolia!
"Gu Changsheng! Senior brother! I beg you, don’t kill them! They are just following orders, they are innocent, they are also Northern Mongolian citizens, they are my people, I beg you, let them stop, don’t kill any more..."
Her humble pleas were filled with sorrow, pity, and shared suffering...
The civilians blocked from the melee saw only the woman dressed in Northern Mongolian Princess attire, clinging to Gu Changsheng’s waist with one hand and pulling Zhou Mu’s arm with the other, her deep face full of tears, bitterly pleading...
"I beg you, don’t kill them! Be it rebellion or treason, even if you mistreat me, but they are my people, my Northern Mongolian citizens, I beg you, stop, don’t kill any more..."
The disparity in strength was too obvious!
So obvious that the Northern Mongolian honor guards had virtually no resistance!
Is this the Dark Night Army that won fame in one battle, invincible in attack?
Among them, there were men and women, all with overwhelming murderous intent, agile in movement...
With their actions, Northern Mongolian honor guards fell one by one, falling into pools of blood...
Stop killing!
Stop killing!
Stop killing my people!
The onlookers from afar heard these heartfelt pleas, like cries and accusations, and for a moment, all felt pained!
Is this their Northern Mongolian legitimate princess?
The one who seldom traveled in Northern Mongolia, the only daughter of the King of Northern Mongolia?
Is she still pleading for the Northern Mongolians amidst this chaotic slaughter?
The Southern Emperor ordered the killing, to vent her anger for her, those killed were rebellious soldiers, those who threatened her, those who mistreated her, but even so, is she still pleading desperately for them?
All because they too are Northern Mongolian citizens? Also her people?
Yes!
She is the legitimate princess of Northern Mongolia! The one and only legitimate princess!
The daughter of the King of Northern Mongolia, the Priceless Princess, the woman second only to the Northern Mongolian King in status in Northern Mongolia!
And also...
A woman who cares about the Northern Mongolian people!
The envoy honor guards around her fell one by one, Borjigin Lvchi was carried, retreating step by step, watching his men fall single-handedly into pools of blood, eyes red with rage, he looked back at the solemn Yanmen Pass Garrison standing on the street, hoarsely yelling, "Why are you still standing there? Were you ordered here just to watch the show? Didn’t you see our warriors already more than half dead or wounded? If you don’t act now, when will you? Kill for me!"
With that, Borjigin Lvchi slightly raised his powerless hand, pointing straight at the place where Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu stood!
What good is mere courage?
With the frontier army pressing on, what good is it?
Distant water cannot quench nearby thirst, this is Yanmen Pass, and behind him, there’s an army of 300,000 ready!
Kill!
Kill that woman!
Kill Gu Changsheng, this woman!
Without Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu in the Central Plains, once he, Borjigin Lvchi, takes the Northern Mongolian throne, he will immediately lead his army southward, kill that woman, and the man at her side, and he will rule the world! Become king and hegemon!
The envoy honor guards, forced to retreat step by step by the Dark Night Army, heard this word and were instantly reinvigorated!
The army is about to move!
They don’t have to die...
