"Yuchang?" Zhan Qing indeed stopped and looked at Chen Yuchang among the thousands of soldiers.
We were too far away from Chen Yuchang. I could only roughly see her appearance, but I couldn't see the emotions flowing in her eyes. But Zhan Qing was different. He knew what the only woman he loved in his life was saying: "Wu Zhao, go! I want to find Yuchang."
"Zhan..." I said only one word and stopped. I know that in Zhan Qing's heart, the whole world is not as good as Chen Yuchang's sweet smile. Chen Yuchang is his life. If he loses his life, what's the point of changing it
Lin Jingyuan slowly moved his feet towards the outside of the formation: "Zhan Qing, you are a smart man, I think I don't need to say more. Take Wu Zhao back, and I won't touch Chen Yuchang. I know that Chen Yuchang is your only motivation to survive in the black prison. You live when she is around, and you die when she dies. However, now in the Half-Life Path's battle against the heavens, you are no longer the protagonist. Take Wu Zhao back and return to the black prison. Although I can't let you see Chen Yuchang again, I promise to let you know that she is still alive until the day her life runs out."
Zhan Qing's two claws sank down suddenly, grabbing the rocks on the ground and saying, "I can only represent myself."
Lin Jingyuan smiled and said, "Letting you capture Wu Zhao also represents your own decision."
Zhan Qing sank his claws drastically, lowered his head, and tears fell from his face to the dust.
Zhan Qing did not move, but the soldiers of the Xuanjing Division quietly surrounded us...
Many experts from the Elders Council also came...
The disciples of the Killing Hall also quietly appeared at the foot of the mountain...
We lost, completely lost... Even if Zhan Qing wanted to give up Chen Yuchang and take me away, it was too late. The strong men from Xuan Jing Division surrounded us from all sides, and Zhan Qing and I couldn't escape.
I simply threw away the Rakshasa and closed my eyes. But at this moment, a sad song suddenly rang out in the air: "My strength can pull up the mountains and my spirit can conquer the world, but the time is not right and my horse will not move..."
"Yu Chang—" Zhan Qing's heart-wrenching roar suddenly sounded beside me.
When I opened my eyes, Zhan Qing was already in tears, and Chen Yuchang had been forced to her knees. Lin Jingyuan roared, "Didn't I ask you to cut off Chen Yuchang's tongue? How can she still sing?"
"Pre-sing—"
"My beloved—"
Two roars rose into the sky simultaneously from different directions and from the mouths of different men.
Lin Jingyuan panicked for the first time and said, "Form a formation, form a formation... Form a formation to kill the gods..."
I remembered that Chen Yuchang could summon ghosts and gods. In order to save Zhan Qing, Chen Yuchang sang the song "Gaixia Song" to summon the ghost Xiang Yu and fight his way out of the desperate situation. Zhan Qing also fought Xiang Yu with a sword to save Chen Yuchang. He took three moves from Xiang Yu and almost died in the mountains.
At that time, although Xiang Yu let Zhan Qing and Chen Yuchang go, he told them that if Chen Yuchang dared to invite ghosts and gods again, he would definitely take Chen Yuchang away.
In order to fight against Qing, Chen Yuchang actually invited Xiang Yu to come.
When I turned my head and looked into the void, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, had already broken through the Yin and Yang worlds and came riding forward: "My beloved? It's you again!"
Just as Xiang Yu was about to turn around and leave, Chen Yuchang took advantage of the moment and ran into the tip of the soldier's spear. When the several-foot-long spear pierced Chen Yuchang's body, her soul also left her body: "My king, please stay! I beg you to take Zhan Qing away, I am willing to return to the ghost realm with you."
When Xiang Yu turned around and looked at Chen Yuchang, the people from Xuan Jing Si also fell silent at the same time - although they had the ability to kill gods, they did not want to anger Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu turned to look at Zhan Qing, the latter suddenly knelt down and said, "Please take Wu Zhao away, I won't leave!"
Xiang Yu was slightly startled: "Back then, you would rather ride a stubborn donkey and hold a broken sword to fight me, but now you kneel down for the people around you?"
Zhan Qing said in a deep voice: "He is the hope of all of us. As long as he is here, Yu Chang and I will have a chance to meet again; if he dies, everything for the Half-Life disciples will be in vain. I beg you..."
Xiang Yu said in a deep voice: "Get up and go find your woman."
Zhan Qing suddenly stood up and ran towards Chen Yuchang. Xiang Yu suddenly appeared beside me and pressed the Overlord Spear against my throat: "If Zhan Qing is still Zhan Qing, I will keep my promise; if Zhan Qing is not Zhan Qing, you will die."
Before I could figure out what Xiang Yu meant, Lin Jingyuan had already waved his hand and issued an order: "Demon Slaying Crossbows, fire in unison!"
At Lin Jingyuan's command, the Xuanjing Division's arrow formation roared in unison. As the arrows that covered the sky and the sun fell towards Zhan Qing, Zhan Qing suddenly accelerated his body and flew past the arrows that were about to fall.
Lin Jingyuan said in a deep voice: "The arrow formation retreats ten meters and then shoots again."
The crossbow arrow that shot up into the sky again had obviously changed its direction, landing in front of Zhan Qing. If Zhan Qing continued to rush forward without moving, he would definitely be shot to death, but Zhan Qing rushed into the rain of arrows without dodging.
As the sharp arrows pierced Zhan Qing's body with a piercing whistle, a raging fire suddenly ignited. In a short moment, Zhan Qing turned into a ball of fire. Only when he continued to rush forward could I see Zhan Qing's figure through the flames blown away by the wind.
The golden fur fell off Zhan Qing's body piece by piece, but he moved forward quickly with the flames. He wanted to reach Chen Yuchang before he was burned by the fire. However, Chen Yuchang, standing under the scorching sun, slowly disappeared in front of his eyes...
"Yuchang—" Zhan Qing, with flames on his body, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Chen Yuchang. At this time, Lin Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "Set up the battle formation, rain of spears and arrows!"
The Xuanjing Division's armored soldier suddenly stepped out, holding his spear high above his head, and stabbed directly at Zhan Qing who was leaping into the air. A stream of energy rushed up into the sky like a rainstorm, piercing through Zhan Qing's body and lifting him up in the air.
Zhan Qing twisted his body desperately and stretched out his claws in front of the gun tip: "Yu Chang, Yu Chang..."
At the same time, Chen Yuchang rushed towards Zhan Qing but was stopped by the sorcerer of Xuanjingsi. Lin Jingyuan said coldly: "If you want to go over, tell Xiang Yu to bring the person back. Otherwise, you two will never be together again even if you are reduced to ashes."
Chen Yuchang stretched out his hands to Zhan Qing through the armored soldiers, and the latter also stretched out his claws with all his strength, desperately trying to touch the lover who was so close. The fingertips of the two people were only a few inches apart, but it seemed as if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers and could not hold hands.
Lin Jingyuan suddenly waved his hand and turned his head: "Let him go!"
When the Xuanjing Division soldier swung his spear and threw Zhan Qing forward, the sorcerer who was controlling Chen Yuchang also stepped aside. Zhan Qing and Chen Yuchang embraced each other in the flames, but only a moment later, Zhan Qing's body fell to the ground, and Chen Yuchang's soul was also annihilated in the flames.
They knew clearly that after this hug they would be reduced to ashes and never reincarnate, but their souls were still burned by the raging fire just for a moment of reunion.
Lin Jingyuan turned his back to Zhan Qing and said coldly, "Wu Zhao, did you see that? This is the fate of the Half-Life Path. If you don't go against the will of heaven, you may still be able to survive; if you want to go against the will of heaven and change your fate, you will only end up hurting others and yourself. Surrender, the Half-Life Path will never be able to change your fate."
I looked at Lin Jingyuan with red eyes: "Half of my life is gone, and I can't stop defying the heavens!"
Before Lin Jingyuan gave the order, Xiang Yu had already said, "Zhan Qing is still Zhan Qing. Once he kneels down, I will fulfill my promise to him. Where does he want to take you?"
I pointed to the canyon in the distance: "There!"
Xiang Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed me onto the horse's back, raised his spear and shouted angrily: "Soldiers of the Great Chu, follow me to kill the enemy."
"Kill—" Thousands of soldiers and horses roared in unison and descended from the sky. Tens of thousands of Chu soldiers broke through the Yin and Yang worlds and stepped into the air. When I subconsciously looked up at the sky, I saw flying horse hooves and flashing swords everywhere under the banners that covered the sky. Countless soldiers and horses pressed down on the Xuanjingsi army formation from the air like a river pouring down from the sky. The two sides only fought once, and a bloody light rose between the army formations.
The blood of the magician splattered in the sky, and the fluorescent light of the Chu army soldiers' souls flew away, interweaving like rain between heaven and earth, and scattering wantonly. One after another, human figures fell in an instant during the collision, but the following soldiers stepped on them and continued to move forward until they met their opponents or were destroyed themselves...
While I was unable to extricate myself from the shock, Xiang Yu urged his horse to gallop towards the canyon. The Overlord Spear in his hand whistled wildly and tore a gap in the Xuan Jingsi's army formation.
I couldn't see clearly how Xiang Yu fought with the sorcerer of Xuanjingsi, but I could feel waves of blood rain falling from the sky, washing over my body again and again. In just a hundred meters, my whole body was soaked in blood several times. As the glistening blood beads kept dripping down the corners of my sleeves, Xiang Yu suddenly rode up and rushed towards the canyon with me.
I only felt the sound of wind whistling past my ears. Before I could open my eyes, Xiang Yu brought me to the ground: "Is this where you want to go?"
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a devastated ancient city. Most of the things in the city had been forcibly flattened by some force, and only a few buildings stood among the weeds.
Although the ancient city is in ruins, I can't see where the demon army is lurking. Xiang Yu asked again: "Is this the place you are looking for?"
At this moment, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: Damn...
I was so focused on Zhan Qing and Chen Yuchang that I forgot to take Zhan Qing's horns. Without the token, how can I command the three thousand demon soldiers, and how can I fight against the Xuan Jing Division
I couldn't help but anxiously asked: "Overlord, can you take me to find Zhan Qing? I..."
After I quickly told him what happened, Xiang Yu frowned and said, "You weren't fooled, were you? I can assure you that there is not even a ghost under these ruins, let alone any monsters..."
"Impossible!" I denied subconsciously, "If there is no secret treasure here, why would Zhan Qing risk his life to send me here? Why would the soldiers of Xuan Jingsi block my way?"
Xiang Yu said: "You have to ask Zhan Qing or Xuan Jing Si. I can't give you an answer. But for Zhan Qing's sake, I can take you back to the top of the mountain." (To be continued)
