"Great!" After receiving a positive reply from Wan Youqi, Shangguan Yunzhu was immediately overjoyed and almost jumped up on the spot. The months of arduous journey must have put a lot of stress on this noble princess.
And that's exactly what happened. Along the way, even thinking about it, Wan Youqi felt that the only word to describe it was 'a lot of hardships'. Living in the wind, sleeping in the open, starving and freezing was just childish, but being pursued by someone from the Iron War Dynasty was extremely dangerous.
When Wan Youqi and his party set out, there were hundreds of people. But when they arrived at Yunzhong City, there were only a dozen people left. There is no need to say much else, but this change in the number of people is enough to highlight the hardships Wan Youqi and the others have on their journey.
"Auntie, our ordeal is finally over." Shangguan Yunzhu couldn't help herself, hugged Wan Youqi and said with tears in her eyes.
After all, Shangguan Yunzhu has never experienced any storms, and he is still very simple. Along the way, whenever Shangguan Yunzhu couldn't hold on, Wan Youqi would use "When we get to Yunzhong City, everything will be fine." Such words were used to encourage her, and over time, Shangguan Yunzhu believed them to be true. She naively thought that all the hardships would be over when she arrived at Yunzhong City.
Holding Shangguan Yunzhu who was so happy that she shed tears, Wan Youqi's heart was filled with bitterness. When they arrive at Yunzhong City, the ordeal will certainly not end. What awaits them may be even greater dangers. Wan Youqi knew all this, but at this time she really couldn't bear to tell Shangguan Yunzhu this cruel reality.
The so-called weak country has no diplomacy! Tiandu Kingdom was originally a small country and had always been looked down upon by powerful countries like the Qingyun Empire and the Iron War Dynasty. But this time, Tiandu Kingdom came to ask for help from the Qingyun Empire. Wan Youqi really had no idea what kind of treatment they would receive.
Just as Wan Youqi was looking at the huge and scary city in the distance, feeling uneasy in her heart, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded behind her: "Wan Youqi, you have nowhere to escape this time!"
Wan Youqi's eyebrows narrowed, and Huo turned around to see an old man with gray hair, a face as long as a donkey, and sinister eyes, looking at them coldly with a sinister smile on his face.
Upon seeing this person, Wan Youqi and more than a dozen people immediately became nervous. Along the way, countless of their companions died in the hands of this old man. Wan Youqi thought she had gotten rid of him, but unexpectedly, she was blocked by him.
"Wei Chunqiu, Yunzhong City is right in front of us, do you still want to stop us?" Wan Youqi winked at the two old men guarding Shangguan Yunzhu, then clapped her horse and stepped forward, coldly facing the two The old man with a long face said.
Wei Chunqiu! If Wandong were here, he would also be surprised.
This Wei Chunqiu is not an unfamiliar name to Wandong. The first-class masters under the eldest prince of the Iron War Dynasty, as well as several generals and ministers of the Tiandu Kingdom, all died in the hands of this man. Two years ago, Wei Chunqiu even sneaked into Wan Mansion with the intention of assassinating Wan Haoxiong. Fortunately, Wan Haoxiong was alert and discovered it in time, so he didn't succeed in the sneak attack. However, the unprecedented battle that broke out between the two really left a deep impression on Wan Dong and will never be forgotten for a long time.
The Iron War Dynasty actually sent such an outstanding person to attack thousands of miles and chase them all the way. No wonder Wan Youqi and the others, out of hundreds of people, only had a dozen or so left when they got here. When Wei Chunqiu assassinated Wan Haoxiong two years ago, he was already a master of the ninth level. After these two years, his cultivation must have improved a lot.
"You think you can sit back and relax when you reach Yunzhong City? Stop dreaming! Now our Iron War Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and is extremely powerful. Even the Qingyun Empire can't save itself even if it is a mud Buddha crossing the river! Do you still expect them to send troops to rescue you? How ridiculous!”
"Since you have determined that the Qingyun Empire will not send troops, why are you chasing so closely all the way? Humph... Wei Chunqiu, do you think that this general is a three-year-old child and can be easily intimidated by you?" Wan Youqi asked. Wei Chunqiu scoffed at what he said.
"Hehe... Wan Youqi, you really don't know? Our eldest prince has fallen in love with you and wants to take you as his concubine. I am chasing you all the way to bring you back to the Iron War Dynasty to enjoy the blessings." Wei Chunqiu said He said with a wicked smile.
"Bah! Who is Duan Yanlong, is he worthy of it?" Wan Youqi spat, with an angry look on her face.
Wei Chunqiu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Girl Wan, don't be ignorant of current affairs. Tiandu Kingdom and our Iron War Dynasty are just like a skinny mouse and a lion. They will be annexed by our Iron War Dynasty sooner or later. . If you persist in your stubbornness and continue to resist, the only result will be that more people in Tiandu Kingdom will die! I advise you to think clearly, lest you regret it later!"
"Don't say any more! Even if there is only one person left in Tiandu Kingdom, I will fight you to the death!" Wan Youqi scolded angrily, waved his hand fiercely, and the dozen or so accompanying guards immediately pulled out their weapons and charged at Wei Chunqiu pushed forward.
"You are so stubborn that you won't eat anything that is a penalty for toasting!" Wei Chunqiu suddenly froze, and an extremely powerful pressure spread out immediately. The faces of the dozen guards all changed. Now, Showing pain.
Those who can follow Wan Youqi and fight all the way to get here are considered masters, and their cultivation level is basically between the seventh and eighth levels of Qi. But compared with Wei Chunqiu, they were obviously weaker.
"Two elders, I leave it to you, Your Highness, the Princess!" Wan Youqi suddenly pulled out her double swords, said to the two octogenarians, then stood up and slashed straight at Wei Chunqiu.
Wan Youqi's move caused the dozen or so guards to immediately rise up. Each one of them attacked Wei Chunqiu with the belief that they would die.
"I don't know whether to live or die! Get back here!"
Seeing more than a dozen guards rushing toward him at the same time, Wei Chunqiu's figure remained unmoved and showed no intention of giving way. He let out a thunderous roar from his mouth, and suddenly raised his palms to the sky. Dozens of surging and violent palm energy poured down from mid-air like a downpour.
Immediately, explosions like grenades came intensively, and extremely fierce palm strikes were scattered in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so guards were like weightless paper figures. , was blown away, and blood spurted out.
"Dog thief!" Seeing such a situation, Wan Youqi was so angry that her eyes almost split open. Clenching his silver teeth, he swung the two swords in his hands at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the cold silver sword light was intertwined into a large net, and it was directed towards Wei Chunqiu's hood.
"Hehe... My sword skills are good, but it's a pity that my cultivation is too shallow!"
Wei Chunqiu didn't care about such an offensive. He sneered and stretched out his right palm like electricity. Pieces of green light flashed through, and the net formed by Wan Youqi's sword light was forced out of a big hole by the green light. Wei Chunqiu's figure passed through the hole, and his right palm was like Like a devil's claw, fast and extremely accurate, he grasped the blade of Wan Youqi's left hand sword squarely.
Wan Youqi spun the blade vigorously, trying to cut off Wei Chunqiu's hand, but she was disappointed. The blade held by Wei Chunqiu did not move, as if it was welded to death.
"Don't waste your efforts, this sword belongs to me!" Wei Chunqiu said with a sneer. With a flick of his wrist, a force that Wan Youqi could hardly resist rushed towards her face immediately. Wan Youqi didn't even have the chance to resist. The thought of resisting arose, and the knife in his left hand fell into Wei Chunqiu's hand.
"hateful!"
After losing his left hand sword, Wan Youqi became very angry and scolded him. He ignored the sword in his right hand, curled up the three-foot-long sword light, and slashed directly at Wei Chunqiu. Looking at it like that, even if Wei Chunqiu was cut into two pieces, she would not be able to forgive her hatred.
Wei Chunqiu didn't panic. He raised his wrist and took the knife in his left hand from Wan Youqi's hand, and immediately moved towards Wan Youqi's right hand knife. Wei Chunqiu's casual sword seemed to be ordinary and without any power. But when the two blades collided in the air, Wan Youqi suddenly felt a numbness in her arm and lost her intuition in an instant. No longer able to hold the handle of the knife, the knife in his right hand fell away.
Wei Chunqiu laughed evilly, stretched out his hand to fish it out, and Wan Youqi's two swords belonged to Wei Chunqiu.
Although Wan Youqi was heartbroken, she was helpless. Wei Chunqiu's cultivation level is too high, and it is definitely not something she can handle.
"General Wan, you have lost your swords. Can you surrender now?" Wei Chunqiu held Wan Youqi's swords and said to Wan Youqi with a smile.
"Surrender? I surrender to you! General Wan, leave quickly, I'll hold him back!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, and a figure, like an eagle, swooped down from the air.
Wan Youqi took a look and was immediately startled. She hurriedly shouted, "Luo Ying, you are no match for him, get back quickly!"
The figure who rushed towards Wei Chunqiu risklessly was the very clever young man who had been following Wan Youqi.
"You annoying fly, go where you belong!" Wei Chunqiu completely dismissed Luo Ying's attack. He even thought it was superfluous to look at it. He just used a skill to strike with a sword, which was as fast as lightning. , as if in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Luo Ying.
Wan Youqi still didn't know that her double swords could actually explode with such power. If such a knife hit Luo Ying, he would be torn into pieces.
Just when Wan Youqi's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her throat, a slightly purple light pillar suddenly rose into the sky, like a wild dragon, and hit it straight. Like lightning on the sword.
A loud roar of thunder was heard in the air, and even the earth seemed to tremble slightly under the loud noise. The purple light dissipated and the blade dissipated. Although poor Luo Ying was not fatally injured, her whole body was like a kite with its string broken. It was thrown dozens of times by the strong wind when the two huge forces collided. It was ten feet away, and the fall was really heavy. I still couldn’t find Bei for a long time... (To be continued)
