Gu Sheng Although his cultivation level is slightly inferior, he can always avert danger with his powerful physical body and strange body skills.
Just when everyone thought the battle was about to reach a stalemate, Chu Xingchen suddenly activated Dragon Pearl, and the thunder and lightning above the sky became more violent, as if it was about to swallow Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng looked solemn, he knew this was Chu Xingchen's killer move.
He was heartbroken and decided to take the risk. He secretly activated Green Vine Demonic Soul in the space ring, preparing to give Chu Xingchen a surprise.
Just when Chu Xingchen's lightning was about to hit Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng suddenly cast Shadow Concealment Art and disappeared in place.
Chu Xingchen was shocked, but it was too late to stop.
At this time, Gu Sheng's figure appeared again, and he had come behind Chu Xingchen.
He held Thirstblood Battle Axe and slashed at Chu Xingchen's back.
Chu Xingchen reacted extremely quickly, dodging like lightning. A dangerous aura hit him, and he seemed to have a premonition of something.
Just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly felt a strong corrosive force coming from behind.
He looked back and saw a thick ivy wrapping around his body, quickly corroding his body.
Chu Xingchen was shocked. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to have such a method.
He tried his best to break free from the shackles of Ivy, but it was too late.
The corrosive power of the ivy was extremely strong, and it corroded his body in an instant.
Chu Xingchen's soul escaped from his body, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear.
He looked at Gu Sheng and roared, "Gu Sheng, you are so cruel!"
Gu Sheng sneered, "Chu Xingchen, winner or loser, this is your life!"
With the defeat of Chu Xingchen, the Chu State's Qi soldiers and the prince's troops also began to collapse.
Gu Sheng and others took advantage of the situation to pursue and annihilated the enemy force in one fell swoop.
Purple Vine Demonic Soul is wreaking havoc on the battlefield, its combat power is staggering.
The huge body flew across the battlefield like a giant purple dragon. Every time it waved, it was accompanied by countless screams and the loss of life.
"Zizzizi..."
Wherever the wisteria passed, a piece of white bones appeared, as if there had never been life here.
Its corrosive power has reached an astonishing level, and even soldiers wearing heavy armor can hardly resist it for a moment.
Gu Sheng stood aside with cold eyes.
He could feel the connection between Wisteria and himself, and that feeling of blood connection made him full of confidence in Wisteria.
"Gu Sheng, this Purple Vine Demonic Soul is too terrifying, we must find a way to deal with it!"
A high-level warrior from the Chu Kingdom frowned.
Gu Sheng sneered, "If you have the ability, come and give it a try."
Before he finished speaking, several more high-level warriors rushed towards Ziteng.
They were armed with various weapons and tried to cut off the wisteria.
The skin of wisteria is extremely tough, and even sharp weapons cannot leave a mark.
Instead, the wisteria vines quickly wrapped around them, tightly binding the warriors.
Then, a strong corrosive force came out from the vines, instantly corroding those warriors into bones.
This scene shocked the top leaders of Chu State.
They didn't expect that Purple Vine Demonic Soul would be so difficult to deal with.
At this time, a Marrow Refining Realm warrior held a huge scythe and rushed towards Wisteria.
There was a firm light in his eyes, and he seemed to be confident that Purple Vine Demonic Soul would win.
"Watch the move!"
The warrior shouted loudly, and swung out his sickle, carrying a fierce wind, and slashed straight at Wisteria.
Wisteria seemed to feel the power of the blow and quickly shrank her body to avoid the sharp sickle.
The warrior seemed to have expected it. He turned around and swung the sickle again. This time, it hit the wisteria vines directly.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the wisteria vine was split into two by the sickle.
Gu Sheng's face changed, and he could feel the severe pain coming from Wisteria.
This pain seemed to directly affect his soul, making it almost unbearable for him.
"The host is connected to the heart, the wisteria is damaged, and I am also affected." Gu Sheng thought to himself.
He took a deep breath, forced down the pain in his heart, and looked at the Marrow Refining Realm warrior with cold eyes.
"A good trick!" Gu Sheng sneered, "However, you alone are not enough to deal with Ziteng."
The Marrow Refining Realm warrior also looked solemn, "Gu Sheng, this Purple Vine Demonic Soul is indeed powerful, but I am not a vegetarian. Today, let me end it!"
With that said, he swung his scythe again and rushed towards Wisteria.
And Gu Sheng also moved, preparing to fight against the enemy together with Ziteng.
Under the joint battle of Great Vajra Palm and Ziteng, the strong man was quickly defeated.
"Phew!"
Jade Maiden Sword stepped out and slashed down with the force of the thick sword, splitting the warrior in half. The blood was dripping from his body and it was too horrible to see.
Gu Sheng stood in the center of the battlefield, with wisteria dancing wildly beside him. Each vine was like a snake coming out of its hole, so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
There was a cold light in his eyes, but there was peace in his heart.
Princess Zishuang looked on with fascination. She clapped her hands gently and praised:
"Gu Sheng, you are indeed the pride of my Liang Kingdom!"
Emperor Liang Emperor Yun Wu was even more excited. He cheered loudly. "Having a child should be like Gu Sheng! I Liang Kingdom have a bright future!"
Gu Sheng was unmoved. As soon as his mind moved, the wisteria split into countless small segments like thousands of arrows. Each segment turned into a purple light and flew towards the Chu army.
"Swish swish!"
Wherever the purple light passed, Chu soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and their bodies quickly turned into bones under the corrosion of the wisteria.
This bloody and terrifying scene greatly reduced the morale of the Chu army.
At the same time, Gu Sheng took a deep breath and urged Snake Breathing Technique.
A cold and terrifying aura emanated from him, as if there were thousands of poisonous snakes swimming around.
"What kind of breath is this? It's so scary!"
The face of a general in the Chu army changed drastically. He felt that his heart Divine Capital seemed to be pulled by this breath and became confused.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Sheng urged Illusory Spirit Divine Melody.
In an instant, Chu's popular music sounded on the battlefield. These melodies were familiar to the Chu soldiers, but when they heard them, they seemed to have a strange magic power, making them uneasy.
"This is a plan to embarrass everyone on all sides!"
A wise man in the Chu army exclaimed,
"Let the soldiers block their ears and not be affected by these sounds!"
Can Illusory Spirit Divine Melody's power be resisted by just plugging your ears?
Soon, the mood of the Chu soldiers became complicated. They began to doubt their beliefs and began to waver in their confidence in the war.
"Run!"
Finally, someone started to run away. This escape spread quickly like dominoes.
The Chu army, which was originally so powerful, now became completely defeated.
Gu Sheng sneered, and with a movement of his body, he appeared in front of a Chu army general like a ghost.
He slapped a golden palm, and the general was turned into a pulp without even having a chance to react.
"Kill!" Gu Sheng shouted, and his figure disappeared again, leaving only a golden afterimage.
His speed has reached an astonishing level, and even Marrow Refining Realm warriors have difficulty catching his traces.
Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, Liang Kingdom's army seemed to be in a deserted territory. The Chu army retreated steadily and was completely defeated.
In this battle, Gu Sheng turned the entire battle situation around with one person.
After the fall of Chu State, Liang Kingdom was full of joy.
For Liang Huang Emperor Yun Wu and Princess Zishuang, this is just the beginning of the great cause of unification.
Princess Zishuang stood on the city tower, overlooking the vast territory of Chu State, with determination and ambition shining in his eyes.
She turned to Gu Sheng and said, "Gu Sheng, although the Chu State has been defeated, the remaining forces are still there. The road ahead will not be easy."
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is extremely intelligent and will definitely be able to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away."
Princess Zishuang nodded. She was well aware of Gu Sheng's ability. With him by her side, she would be even more powerful.
She thought for a moment and said, "The remaining forces of the Chu State must be eradicated as soon as possible. At the same time, we must also take over the Chu State's territory and establish new prefectures and counties to stabilize our rule."
Gu Sheng nodded in agreement and said, "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is absolutely true. I suggest that we first send envoys to various places to announce Liang Kingdom's policies and appease the people. At the same time, strengthen border patrols to prevent the remnants of the Chu State from counterattacking."
After hearing this, Princess Zishuang praised, "Gu Sheng, you are really thoughtful. I will do as you say."
In the following days, Princess Zishuang and Gu Sheng became busy together.
They sent envoys to various places to announce Liang Kingdom's policies and at the same time strengthen border defense.
Princess Zishuang also personally participated in the establishment of prefectures and counties. She rationally divided prefectures and counties and appointed officials based on the actual conditions of various places, which made Liang Kingdom's rule stable.
Just when the great cause of the Liang Kingdom's founding of the country was in full swing, Qi State sent envoys to get a share of the pie.
Princess Zishuang looked at the Qi envoy coldly and said, "The Chu State was destroyed by me Liang Kingdom. If the Qi State wants to share the profits, it would be too greedy."
The envoy from Qi State argued. "Your Highness, although Qi State is small, it has contributed a lot. Besides, Chu State has a vast territory, and it would be too overbearing for the Liang Kingdom to monopolize it."
Princess Zishuang sneered and said, "The territory of Chu State was obtained with the blood and lives of our Liang Kingdom soldiers. If Qi State wants to share the benefits, then show sincerity. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The envoy from Qi was frightened by Princess Zishuang's momentum and had to go back in despair.
In the end, at Princess Zishuang's insistence, Qi only received one-seventh of the benefits and was demoted to a feudal state.
At this point, Liang Kingdom has achieved a superficial unification.
At the celebration banquet, the lights were bright and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious.
Liang Kingdom gathered together to celebrate this hard-won victory.
Princess Zishuang is sitting on the main seat. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a beautiful face, just like a blooming peony.
Her eyes moved around and finally settled on Gu Sheng, with a satisfied smile on her face.
She waved gently, and a maid stepped forward, it was her beloved Shangguan Yudie.
"Gu Sheng, for your great military exploits this time, I have decided to reward you with a gift."
Princess Zishuang said, pushing Shangguan Yudie in front of Gu Sheng, "This is my maid Shangguan Yudie. She is smart and considerate. Let her follow you from now on."
Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the generous gift. I am deeply grateful."
Princess Zishuang waved his hand and said with a smile:
"You don't need to be polite. I know that you are a dragon and a phoenix among people, and ordinary rewards may not be able to impress you. So, tell me, what else do you want? All the land and treasures in the world, as long as you tell me, I can reward you."
Gu Sheng heard this, and his heart moved.
He knew that he had already earned enough, and if he was not greedy enough, he might cause unnecessary trouble.
So, he took a deep breath and replied respectfully, "Back to your Royal Highness, I am already Marquis of Victory, and I have such a beautiful woman as Shangguan Yudie by my side. I really have nothing else to ask for. I just want to fulfill my duties loyally to the Liang Kingdom and protect the peace of this land."
Princess Zishuang listened, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
She smiled slightly and said, "It is my Liang Kingdom's fortune that Mr. Gu is indifferent to fame and wealth. Since you haven't decided what reward you want now, just wait until you think about it later. I believe in you that one day you will come up with what you want."
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart. He knew that Princess Zishuang's words were true.
He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for trusting me. I will live up to your expectations."
The celebration banquet continued, and while they were drinking and drinking, Gu Sheng fell into deep thought.
He knew that although he had gained a lot, he had also attracted many jealous people.
The road ahead may be even more difficult.
Of course, he had no intention of retreating at all, but was full of expectation and fighting spirit.
In the corner of the banquet, Shangguan Yudie gently pulled Gu Sheng's sleeves and whispered, "Master Gu, Your Highness the Princess treats you so well, you must repay her well."
Gu Sheng came back to his senses, looked at Shangguan Yudie's clear eyes, and felt a warm current in his heart.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do it."
The two of them smiled knowingly, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding at this moment.
And all this was seen by Princess Zishuang, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Before the joy and laughter of the celebration banquet had dispersed, Princess Zishuang summoned Gu Sheng alone.
The moonlight was like water, shining on the jade steps of the palace. The two of them walked side by side, like a pair of beautiful lovers.
"Gu Sheng, how's it going? Is Yu Die useful?"
Princess Zishuang suddenly spoke, with a hint of playfulness in her voice, and her signature sly smile on her face.
Gu Sheng was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said:
"Princess is joking. Yu Die is gentle and considerate. Naturally, she is wonderful."
His answers were half-truths, half-truths, and neither frivolous nor funny.
Princess Zishuang chuckled, seemingly quite satisfied with Gu Sheng's answer.
She changed the topic and said seriously, "We had an agreement before. You help me unify the world, and I promise you with my body. Now, the world has been unified, but I can't share the world with you."
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart, knowing that the princess had something to say.
He remained calm and waited for what was to come.
Princess Zishuang continued, "That's right, I'm not the emperor, so what kind of world do we share?"
There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in her tone.
Gu Sheng knew in her heart that the princess wanted to go one step further and seize the throne.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Princess, the world is so big that no one person can rule it.
You are now the leader of the Liang Kingdom, no different from the emperor. Why bother clinging to that false name anymore? "
Princess Zishuang Hearing this, a strange color flashed in his eyes. She looked at Gu Sheng, seeming to be thinking about his words.
