The True Persons Rescue Yikao! Bo Yikao Loses His Head
"May the king distance himself from lust and restore order to the realm; may the world be at peace and the empress be deposed swiftly. May the Yao Qi be extinguished and the feudal lords submit; may licentiousness be eradicated and the state be secure and prosperous. May the Yikao, even unto death; may Daji be banished and her story be recorded in history."
A mournful yet poignant melody was hummed from Bo Yikao's lips.
But...
Looking at the motionless Star-Picking Tower, Bo Yikao's eyes were filled with despair.
However, Bo Yikao was not in despair because he was about to die.
Instead, he felt sorrow for the Yin Shang dynasty and guilt for his father after his death.
After all, having died with the crime of assassinating the king, his father, the Marquis of Marquis, Earl of the West Ji Chang, would inevitably be implicated.
Even Xiqi itself will be implicated by him.
Thinking of this, Bo Yikao felt resentful.
But...
Even now, the resentment in Bo Yikao's heart was still...
"Empress! You Cheng Tang reduce the glorious empire of the Shang Dynasty to nothing. My death is nothing to regret; my loyalty will live on, and my filial piety will endure forever. Empress! I could not bear to eat your flesh in life, but in death I will become a vengeful ghost to devour your soul!"
Bo Yikao roared hoarsely.
At the very moment Bo Yikao roared, he was already being dragged by his soldiers to the execution site.
What Bo Yikao was about to face was not a simple death sentence like beheading.
They assassinated the king and then plotted to frame the queen.
At this moment, Bo Yikao was about to face the torture of being cut into pieces, which, simply put... meant being chopped into mincemeat while still alive.
Then throw in a scorpion potion to feed the snakes!
Meanwhile, Bo Yikao was still roaring in anger.
Only...
Within the Chaoge City, even those with the cultivation of Golden Immortal are completely unable to utilize their abilities.
Moreover, the soldiers escorting Bo Yikao were no ordinary people; each of them possessed considerable cultivation.
Meanwhile, above the Chaoge City.
Two figures, their feet resting on white clouds, were looking down at Bo Yikao.
"Although he may seem a little foolish, he is a loyal and righteous man." Yuding True Person turned to True Person Taiyi and smiled.
"Taiyi Brother Taiyi, you've truly made a worthy disciple!"
Upon hearing Yuding True Person's words, True Person Taiyi nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming as he looked down at Bo Yikao.
Life-or-death situations are when you can truly see a person's character.
At this moment, Bo Yikao's conduct undoubtedly pleased True Person Taiyi greatly.
Certainly...
This satisfaction was not the kind of satisfaction that Yuding True Person was thinking of, but rather...
Bo Yikao's character would certainly not lack supporters in Xiqi.
In addition to being the eldest son of the legitimate wife, inheriting Xiqi was perfectly legitimate.
In this regard, he doesn't need to exert much effort.
True Person Taiyi was naturally satisfied.
"Junior Brother Yuding, let's make a move!"
True Person Taiyi spoke, he directly activated his magic Law Power and summoned the Yellow Turban Strongman.
Seeing True Person Taiyi's actions, Yuding True Person also activated his Law Power and summoned the Yellow Turban Strongman.
If this were in the Primordial World...
Then True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person naturally unleashed their Divine Ability directly.
But this is the Nine Provinces of the Human Race, and this is the important city of Chaoge. Here, the suppression of Law Technique Divine Ability is extremely terrifying.
In contrast, the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier was much more lenient towards beings like the Yellow Turban Strongman, whose abilities lay somewhere between Divine Ability and Law Treasure.
So...
In this land of the Human Race Nine Provinces, summoning Yellow Turban Strongman is naturally more convenient than directly using Divine Ability.
The Yellow Turban Strongman summoned by True Person Taiyi, under True Person Taiyi's command, rode the divine wind and flew towards Bo Yikao below.
The Yellow Turban Strongman summoned by Yuding True Person also received Yuding True Person's decree, stirring up dust, and in an instant, sand and stones flew, and the earth darkened and the sky became gloomy.
After a loud bang, Bo Yikao's figure had already disappeared from the execution ground.
At this moment, the execution soldiers, who were confused by the sandstorm, suddenly changed their expressions when they saw the vanished Bo Yikao.
However, before the executioners could even shout...
Hundreds of small teams immediately flew out from around the Star-Picking Tower, heading towards the Yellow Turban Strongman who were carrying Bo Yikao in the sky.
"You audacious scoundrels, how dare you storm the execution ground!" shouted a squad leader at the forefront of the hundreds of squads.
At the same time, in mid-air, the hundreds of squads quickly formed a magic array, and tens of thousands of soldiers seemed to be one.
His speed Divine Ability increased dramatically, and he flew swiftly towards Bo Yikao and the Yellow Turban Strongman.
At this moment, the Yellow Turban Strongman who had received the decree from the Yuding True Person suddenly flew out and blocked the path of the Yin Shang soldiers.
This was clearly intended to give Bo Yikao a chance to escape.
But...
The Yellow Turban Strongman who was carrying Bo Yikao did not fly very far.
Not far away, arrays of magic formations appeared from the void, like Heavenly Net and Earthly Web, blocking the Yellow Turban Strongman.
How could that be?
In the distance, True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person were startled and their brows furrowed.
"This... it seems the Yin Shang Dynasty was already on guard against the Yellow Turban Strongman?"
True Person Taiyi frowned.
Yuding True Person nodded slightly. Although at first glance the reaction of the Yin Shang soldiers seemed normal, it just seemed too fast.
But with their keen eyesight, they could clearly see that the Yin Shang Dynasty's arrangements were almost entirely aimed at the Yellow Turban Strongman.
At the same time.
Upstairs in the Star-Picking Tower.
Because of the turmoil here, King Zhou, Daji, and all the ministers of the Yin Shang Dynasty came out and looked towards this place from afar.
Upon seeing the Yellow Turban Strongman carrying Bo Yikao, King Zhou's face immediately darkened.
He remembered his two rebellious sons who should have been executed.
It was this very thing, this strange wind, that swept away those two rebellious sons back then, and now they're trying to storm the execution ground again.
"Do you really think my Yin Shang has no one to rely on?" King Zhou roared in fury.
The moment King Zhou's voice fell, a powerful force seemed to the Unseen forth, empowering the battle formation of tens of thousands of soldiers.
As they formed battle formations, the tens of thousands of soldiers who were engaged in fierce combat with the two Yellow Turban Strongman suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It was as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
Speed, strength, Law Power, Divine Ability all increased rapidly at this moment.
As tens of thousands of soldiers grew stronger, the battle formation composed of those tens of thousands of soldiers naturally grew stronger as well.
The previously stalemate suddenly shifted to one side.
The two Yellow Turban Strongman were torn to shreds by the Yin Shang battle formation, while Bo Yikao was captured by the Yin Shang battle formation.
Only...
As the person involved, Bo Yikao was clearly in a daze at this moment.
When Bo Yikao was rescued earlier, he was bewildered.
He couldn't understand why anyone would come to rescue him.
That shouldn't be happening!
He didn't bring any powerful warriors from Xiqi with him when he came to Chaoge this time!
How could someone come to rescue him?
Then, less than three breaths after being rescued, he was arrested again.
Looking at the tens of thousands of Yin Shang soldiers who had formed battle formations around him, Bo Yikao silently curled up and protected himself.
To prevent him from being accidentally injured in a fight later.
But...
With just a slight pause, Bo Yikao, who was in the center of the battle formation, was kicked away and plummeted straight down.
It crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Bo Yikao looked at the familiar, gleaming blades around him, then gazed at the horizon.
So...
Was he rescued only to be caught again?
In less than three breaths?
Bo Yikao filled with bewilderment.
At this moment, the two Yellow Turban Strongman were torn to pieces.
True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person, their faces also dark, revealed their true forms from the clouds.
If they had only suspected it before, they were now certain that the Yin Shang was definitely targeting the Yellow Turban Strongman.
True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person, having revealed their true forms, were about to say something more.
But the leader of the battle formation composed of tens of thousands of Yin Shang soldiers did not hesitate and suddenly shouted.
"Kill!"
At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers were of one mind and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the battle.
"Chirp--"
With a crisp sound, a bird with a jet-black body suddenly appeared in mid-air.
This is clearly the totem of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Dark Bird descended from the sky!
As soon as the Dark Bird appeared, it did not hesitate at all and rushed towards the direction of True Person Taiyi and Yuding True Person.
"Snort!"
Seeing the approaching Dark Bird, a flash of anger crossed True Person Taiyi's eyes, and the Yin- Yin-Yang Twin Swords, Innate Spirit Treasure, appeared in his hand.
It charged directly towards the Dark Bird.
If it were outside the Primordial World.
This is merely a formation composed of tens of thousands of Golden Immortal and a few Taiyi; True Person Taiyi doesn't need to go to such lengths.
With just a thought, even if the number were ten or a hundred times greater, they could be easily suppressed.
But...
This is the Nine Provinces of the Human Race.
Moreover, it's the place where the Nine Provinces Barrier has the strongest suppressive power.
The enemy on the other side, after forming a battle formation, also had the Karmic Luck the Yin Shang Dynasty to offset part of the suppressive power of the Nine Provinces Barrier.
As one side gains and the other loses, so too does the other.
That's how he acquired the ability to make True Person Taiyi take him seriously.
Only...
The difference in strength was simply too great; True Person Taiyi also possessed the High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords.
As Innate Spirit Treasure, its power was not diminished much within the Nine Provinces Barrier.
Dealing with a mere tens of thousands of Golden Immortal and a few Taiyi forming a battle formation is naturally a piece of cake.
It was just a few collisions.
The true form of the Dark Bird began to show signs of disintegration.
But...
This is Chaoge, a crucial location of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
It was only for a brief moment that True Person Taiyi was entangled with this Dark Bird formation.
Countless Yin Shang soldiers took to the air and flew towards this direction from all over Chaoge.
Those from farther away arrived swiftly via the Domain Gate.
A dense, countless army of the Yin Shang dynasty surged toward this side.
At this moment, even the Yuding True Person standing to the side changed his expression slightly.
Certainly.
For these two Daluo Golden Immortal who possessed Innate Spirit Treasure, even with the suppression of the Nine Provinces Barrier, it was nothing.
They were no longer afraid of these soldiers.
But...
As I said before, this is Chaoge, the site of the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Here, the resources and methods that the Yin Shang Dynasty could mobilize far exceeded the imagination of ordinary immortals.
If time is delayed even slightly, the true strength of the Yin Shang Dynasty will emerge.
Even if they were both Daluo Golden Immortal, they probably wouldn't be able to escape being reborn under the protection of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi.
No.
We are currently in the period of the Great Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
At this time, if they die, their true spirits will be pulled onto the Investiture of the Gods.
At that time, it will probably be worse than death.
Thinking about this...
Yuding True Person immediately sent a telepathic message to True Person Taiyi to ask what to do.
What Yuding True Person could think of, True Person Taiyi would naturally know as well.
Only...
Looking down at Bo Yikao on the execution ground, True Person Taiyi clenched his teeth.
Although he hadn't yet devoted much effort to Bo Yikao, he had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.
Just like that, I left.
How could he accept this?
How could he bear to Karmic Luck that belonged to Bo Yikao?
"Junior Brother Yuding, the Yin Shang Dynasty has been at peace for many years, so even troop movements take some time..."
"Three breaths... Junior brother, buy your senior brother three breaths. If we haven't rescued Bo Yikao by then, we'll leave immediately."
The voice transmission from True Person Taiyi entered Yuding True Person's sea of consciousness.
Without much hesitation, Yuding True Person agreed immediately.
In three breaths, the Yin Shang army wouldn't have time to react.
For an army, consolidating its battle formation can indeed enable it to defeat a stronger enemy, but this kind of unprepared, sudden encounter with a enemy is also problematic.
Even the best-trained army needs a considerable amount of time to complete this task.
After Yuding True Person agreed, True Person Taiyi did not hesitate at all and immediately took out another Innate Spirit Treasure, the Wind Fire Wheels, and placed it at his feet.
They rushed swiftly towards Bo Yikao's direction, while the raging flames from the Wind Fire Wheels enveloped True Person Taiyi Zhenren, forcing back the soldiers who wanted to approach.
At the same time, the raging flames also ignited the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web in the void, but the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web burned somewhat slowly.
But True Person Taiyi wielded his Yin-Yang Twin Swords repeatedly, cutting through the numerous obstacles blocking his path.
It flew swiftly towards Bo Yikao.
Of course, True Person Taiyi did not only possess these two Innate Spirit Treasure, even after losing the Universe Ring and the Heaven-Chaos Sash.
True Person Taiyi's wealth remains substantial, but...
Within this Nine Provinces Barrier, Law Power was suppressed as if it were metal or stone, unable to move at will.
Simultaneously activating two Innate Spirit Treasure indicates that the user is already at a high level of True Person Taiyi, possessing profound Law Power.
Just as True Person Taiyi was advancing with unstoppable momentum and was about to reach Bo Yikao's side...
On the Star-Picking Tower, King Zhou's face was gloomy, and he simply let out a cold snort.
On the execution ground, countless magical arrays appeared, hundreds of times denser than the net of Heavenly Net and Earthly Web in the void.
Certainly...
Even such a dense array of magic formations cannot withstand the power of Innate Spirit Treasure, but... it is enough to buy some time.
Below, in the execution ground.
Behind Bo Yikao, a figure silently arrived, holding a sharp blade high in his hand. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly and ruthlessly brought the blade down.
Bo Yikao... his head rolled!
