Battle of Pacifying Youzhou (19)
But Wei Wensong's mouth never stopped; he continued talking even during the breaks in the fight.
"I remember when you launched your sneak attack yesterday, wasn't that human skin robe you were wearing destroyed by Qian Sheng of the Qian Family?"
"Why are you wearing another one today? Your lover, the Ink Snake, is dead. Did you go to Cold Mountain last night specifically to have a secret rendezvous with that old snake's corpse?"
"Why can't you bear to part with him? Why do you insist on wearing him on your body?"
As Wei Wensong continued speaking, Green Blade's mentality underwent a significant change. His eyes turned red, his face contorted, and his offensive faltered.
Her cultivation was already inferior to Wei Wensong's, and now she had lost her composure and disrupted her attack. Before long, she was covered in wounds, and even her charming face was slashed with a hideous gash.
"Look quickly, that pretty face is gone too."
"Look, her clothes are torn and showing, but she doesn't look as good as the girls in the brothel!"
"How has that old snake been doing this for decades? Doesn't it get tired of it?"
"Ah! Death!"
At this moment, Green Blade's hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in knife wounds and bloodstains. He seemed to have gone mad, and with a sharp blade of intent, he slashed out with the Jade Blade in Wei Wensong's hand.
A slash swept diagonally across Green Blade's right shoulder, cutting straight down to his left hip. The blade's edge sliced through Green Blade's entire chest, severing his internal organs, and the fierce blade intent raged within his body.
Green Blade's body fell to the ground, blood spurting out. Seeing the two figures in the distance, he spoke haltingly.
"You... you won't survive either."
Wei Wensong approached him, bowed his head, and spoke in a completely emotionless tone.
"I know, you just wanted to lure me here, right? Well, I'm here now, but you're going to die first. I said sixty years ago that I would crush your head, and this time, no Ink Snake will save you."
With a stomp, Wei Wensong crushed Green Blade's head. Looking at the two approaching figures, his face remained expressionless, and his eyes showed no fear. He simply raised the knife in his hand and said calmly.
"We haven't had much dealings with the people from Suo Hun Cliff. If only the Lieyang Sect had come! I could have stood up for the old mountain lord."
One of the men, whose hands were bound with strange iron chains, stared intently at Wei Wensong and said coldly.
"Wei Wensong, you actually dare to come here? You're asking for death."
Green Serpent fought and retreated all the way, and this place was now the garrison of the Great Feng. It could be said that apart from Lu Bu fighting the Immeasurable Iron Cavalry on the distant plains behind, and Zhang Liao and others who were advancing from the rear, there was no one else to Dagan here.
Wei Wensong said calmly.
"Why wouldn't I dare to die? Actually, I should have died long ago. I was there in the Battle of Qilian, I was there in the Battle of Cangshui, I was there in the Battle of Youzhou more than thirty years ago, and I am still there in this Battle of Youzhou now."
As he stroked the Jade Blade in his hand, Wei Wensong's eyes flashed with fighting spirit and a hint of determination.
"So it's time for me to die. I've lived for over two hundred years. Even if you hadn't come, I would have lived for another ten years at most. I might as well have one last good fight. If I can die in this battle, I will have no regrets for the Dagan and the Wei Wensong."
With his sword raised, Wei Wensong concentrated his sword intent, the sharpness of which swept around the group. He charged forward, determined to unleash his sword intent, which was sharp and sharp. At this moment, Wei Wensong spoke with a hint of pleasure.
"You were defeated last time, and you will be defeated again this time. Only defeat and death await you."
On the battlefield, Zhu Wushi held a person in his right hand, his true energy continuously flowing into the body. When he saw that it was about time, he threw the corpse into a pile of people in the Great Feng Army, and his true energy exploded instantly.
With a loud "boom," a large crater was blasted into the ground. Zhu Wushi's gaze fell on a black-robed man not far away. The man's right hand was constantly wielding a long sword, each strike crisscrossing with sword energy, Dagan many soldiers.
The man also noticed Zhu Wushi's gaze, turned around, and the two stared at each other, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Almost simultaneously, the two leaped into the air and charged at each other. Zhu Wushi the powerful true energy gathering in his left hand and directly met the man's right hand's murderous sword thrust.
With seemingly endless true energy erupting like a volcano, Zhu Wushi shattered the man's longsword with his left hand, grabbed the man's hand, and continued to surge with true energy, attempting to invade the man's body.
The man didn't take it seriously. He raised a jet-black dagger from his left hand behind his back and thrust it straight at Zhu Wushi's head. Zhu Wushi gathered his true energy in his right hand, and the energy directly restrained the man's dagger.
As they clashed with their true energy, invisible waves of energy around them sent the soldiers flying as their energies clashed.
A hint of amusement flickered in the man's eyes.
"I never expected that Lord Zhu would also have reached the Late Ascension Realm."
It hasn't even been a month since Zhu Wushi last made a move. During the battle with the Wang Family, this guy was only at the Mid Ascension Realm, but unexpectedly he has broken through in just a few days.
Zhu Wushi remained silent, simply staring intently at the man in black robes.
In terms of true qi, he is stronger than many Peak Ascension Realm, but the Ascension Realm requires spirit, one's own divine soul.
As long as he nurtures his soul, Zhu Wushi has nothing else to lack, so his breakthrough is perfectly normal.
Moreover, there's the Palace Master's Dan Yun Art, which is a Daoist secret art. It nourishes the self and refines a Daoist Golden Core within the body, greatly benefiting the soul. With this skill, he will only progress faster, since Zhu Wushi already has enough true qi.
After arriving at Hanshan Prefecture, Yuan Tiangang passed on his Dan Yun Art to Zhu Wushi. After all, this technique requires abundant true qi, and one must refine one's true qi over a long period of time to solidify it before practicing it. Zhu Wushi was very suitable for it.
After cultivating, Zhu Wushi refined his own true energy and, in combination with the Dan Yun Art and the Great Absorption Technique, forged a unique Golden Core within his own body.
He named it "Devouring Pill," and combined it with the Great Absorption Technique to solidify his own true energy, compressing it into a pill-like state to nourish his soul. It also allowed him to take his Great Absorption Technique to the next level.
He has made great progress these days. With proper nurturing, given his own capacity for true energy, Peak Ascension Realm is not far off.
Looking at the man in front of him, dressed in black robes with dark circles under his eyes as if he had been punched, Zhu Wushi said with a hint of coldness on his face.
"What's so surprising about that? It's Mr. Qiu who's truly unbelievable! The dignified Lord of the Shadow Kill Hall, the Night Shadow Qiu Jiuyang ranks fourth on the Dagan Assassin Ranking, has actually defected to the Great Feng. Isn't that laughable?"
"Back when I arrived at Hanshan Prefecture, I even went to the main hall of your Shadow Kill Hall in Cold Mountain. But Mr. Qiu was never there. Now that I think about it, he must have gone to Great Feng to plot something, right?"
Upon hearing Zhu Wushi's words, Qiu Jiuyang showed a hint of surprise.
"It seems His Your Highness Prince of Qin's intelligence network is truly impressive!"
Qiu Jiuyang was indeed somewhat shaken by this. He had been staying in the Eastern Border of Great Feng until the war, and he never expected that his home would be taken before he even got there.
