You were tasked with assisting Di Xin, and you turned him into a Human Emperor?

"Marshal Deng, what you said is wrong. That day, Marshal Deng promised to marry his beloved daughter Deng Chanyu to Tu Xingsun. Tu Xingsun believed it, and everyone in the world believed it. If Marshal Deng goes back on his word, wouldn't that be breaking his promise and inviting criticism!"

"Today, Ziya has brought betrothal gifts and Tu Xingsun to marry your beloved daughter, fulfilling Marshal Deng's promise!"

Jiang Ziya said slowly.

"Hahaha!"

Deng Jiugong couldn't help but laugh heartily.

What eloquent words, what nonsensical arguments.

To seize by force and then claim righteousness.

"Why does Marshal Deng laugh?" Jiang Ziya asked calmly.

"Although what I said that day was after drinking, I did make that promise!"

"However, I said that day that I wanted Ji Fa's and your head, Jiang Ziya, as the betrothal gifts. Are you, Jiang Ziya, planning to commit suicide on the spot?"

"Today, your Xiqi comes aggressively, trying to seize by force. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world!"

Deng Jiugong said indifferently.

"Marshal Deng, a true man's word is as binding as four horses. Do you really intend to go back on your word?"

Jiang Ziya asked with a frown.

"I have not gone back on my word. Today, you, Jiang Shang, leave your head, and bring Ji Fa's head."

"Can your Xiqi accomplish this?"

Deng Jiugong said indifferently.

Hearing this, all the soldiers in Three Mountains Pass couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Their Marshal's words were spoken after drinking, but he had not forgotten about the betrothal gifts!

The laughter of the soldiers of Three Mountains Pass caused the expressions on Jiang Ziya's side to darken.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Ziya spoke.

"Marshal Deng, since we are to be united, why be so aggressive? Quickly open the pass and welcome us into the camp to enjoy the wedding feast. Your son-in-law is already impatient!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Xingsun indeed showed an eager expression.

"What a shameless scoundrel! Your Xiqi is trying to seize by force and yet you claim righteousness. Who said we would let you come to welcome the bride today?"

"You rebels of Xiqi intend to seize the great land of Great Shang, and you expect us to open the city gates to welcome you? Your Xiqi's treacherous intentions know no bounds!"

Deng Jiugong's expression sharpened, and he spoke.

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya's expression changed.

The logic had once again shifted to Deng Jiugong's side.

Jiang Ziya's arrival today was clearly to snatch the bride, his stance was strong, and he was skilled in debate.

If it were the Deng Jiugong of the past, he would have already been defeated.

However, simply bringing up the matter of Xiqi being rebels intending to seize the land of Great Shang rendered Xiqi without any justification.

Furthermore, Jiang Ziya had consistently avoided mentioning San Yisheng's matter, hoping to persuade Deng Jiugong to surrender.

He hadn't expected to be defeated in just a few words.

"Marshal Deng, King Zhou is tyrannical, and the world has rebelled. He has repeatedly attacked Western Zhou. Anyone who opposes Western Zhou perishes on their own. Your Great Shang's Grand Tutor Wen has already perished, why do you insist?"

"Loyalty to Shang Dynasty, yet unable to achieve your ambitions. Heaven's will is known, and the tide of fortune is visible. A wise bird chooses its tree, and a wise minister chooses his lord. Why must you be so stubborn!"

"Today, I, Jiang Ziya, have brought generous betrothal gifts and many soldiers from Xiqi to welcome the bride, which shows our sincerity. I implore Marshal Deng to consider!"

Jiang Ziya couldn't get through to Deng Jiugong for a moment and could only state his true intentions.

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong couldn't help but laugh.

"So this is your true intention!"

"Your Xiqi rebels come aggressively, how is that showing sincerity? It is clearly a threat!"

"Let me see if your betrothal gifts include Ji Fa's head. Your head alone, Jiang Shang, is not enough!"

As Deng Jiugong's words fell, he raised his hand and unleashed a surge of energy. The large chests filled with betrothal gifts placed before Jiang Ziya suddenly exploded, revealing numerous weapons within.

"This is your Xiqi's sincerity?"

"Shameless rebels, plotting rebellion, and yet you want to marry my Chanyu!"

Deng Jiugong spoke.

His scheme exposed, Jiang Ziya's expression changed drastically.

His scheme exposed, Jiang Ziya knew he could not persuade Deng Jiugong to surrender and could only proceed with the original plan.

When the two armies clashed and chaos ensued, he would have Tu Xingsun sneak into Tang Camp and snatch Deng Chanyu.

"Deng Jiugong, since you are stubborn and unyielding, we can only settle this with our hands!"

Jiang Ziya's words fell, and Yang Jian and the others beside him were ready for battle.

"Master, Dragon Beard Tiger requests to fight!"

Dragon Beard Tiger spoke.

Dragon Beard Tiger was the second disciple Jiang Ziya took after Wu Ji. He was a spirit beast that resembled both a tiger and a dragon. His physique was enormous, covered in scales, and he possessed not only immense strength but also strong defense.

Deng Chanyu had repeatedly defeated Western Zhou generals with the Five-Colored Stone.

Previously, although Dragon Beard Tiger had been injured by Deng Chanyu, he had found a way to defeat her.

As long as he guarded against Deng Chanyu's sneak attacks with the Five-Colored Stone, he would not lose.

If Deng Chanyu dared to fight, he would capture her.

If Deng Jiugong sent out other soldiers, they would not be Dragon Beard Tiger's match.

This time, if Deng Chanyu dared to fight, she would surely not return.

"Very well!"

Jiang Ziya nodded, tacitly allowing Dragon Beard Tiger to fight.

After all, the attack of the Five-Colored Stone was no longer a secret. As long as he guarded against it, nothing would happen.

Moreover, although Dragon Beard Tiger was his second disciple, he had the body of a spirit beast and had existed since the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. His skill level far surpassed Wu Ji's.

Jiang Ziya was very confident in Dragon Beard Tiger's ability to fight. On Deng Jiugong's side, as long as they guarded against Deng Chanyu, absolutely no one would be her opponent.

If Deng Chanyu fought, he would have Tu Xingsun sneak over and capture her.

If Deng Chanyu did not fight, the others would surely fail, thus crushing Deng Jiugong's morale!

After all, Dragon Beard Tiger was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation, while Deng Jiugong's side were all mortals.

"Just a defeated opponent!"

Seeing Dragon Beard Tiger step forward, Deng Chanyu immediately said, clearly indicating her intention to fight.

"Chanyu, do not engage in battle without permission. Previously defeating Dragon Beard Tiger was because he was careless and underestimated you."

"He is so confident now, perhaps he has a way to counter the Five-Colored Stone."

"That Jiang Ziya is cunning and will try every means to scheme against you. You should stay here and not fight!"

"This time, I, your father, will fight personally!"

Deng Jiugong said directly.

As his words fell, the three armies behind him surged forward, cannons roared like thunder, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Deng Jiugong's army had a large number of soldiers and a powerful momentum, boosting their military might.

Deng Jiugong moved and landed in front of Dragon Beard Tiger.

"Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

Deng Jiugong muttered, having already judged Dragon Beard Tiger's cultivation.

Deng Jiugong currently had Earth Immortal Realm Perfection cultivation, which was three minor realms behind the late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm.

He just didn't know how his combat power compared to the opponent's.

"Ding dong, detected the host's current situation, God-Tier Options activated!"

"Option 1: Beat up Dragon Beard Tiger, obtain one Innate Spirit Fruit!"

"Option 2: Kill Dragon Beard Tiger, obtain the Five Elements Great Escape Divine Ability Jade Slip!"

At this very moment, a system prompt sounded in Deng Jiugong's mind.

Deng Jiugong's expression froze.

"This!!!"
