For Chu Tianxiao, he would not tolerate such a calculating venomous snake hiding in the dark and spying. Moreover, Mo Xiang was different from Bai Lao. Although the latter had been against Chu Tianxiao, he did not harm his family. It was a competition, each relying on their own abilities. However, the former... had plotted against the Fan family, which had already touched Chu Tianxiao's reverse scale! Even if he said that he could let it go, Mo Xiang would never believe it, not to mention that this was the only thing that Chu Tianxiao would never let go of!
And for Mo Xiang, no matter what was right and wrong back then, and who should be blamed for the source... But, the one who died was his most beloved younger sister after all, and the one who died was the one from the Chu family after all... How could all the hatred, resentment, intrigue, and conspiracy over the years be let go
Therefore, both sides had no choice but to fight to the death and bury this feud today in a bloody way.
…
…
This battle, which does not exist in later history books, was a decisive battle.
It’s like a short-distance race, from beginning to end, it’s all about sprinting and burning!
Countless obscure lines.
There were countless earthquakes like a dragon turning over.
Countless lights flowed, tearing, wailing, and shattering sounds...
I don’t know how much time passed.
The sounds of fighting gradually died down, but the Zhao army, which had long since moved away from the center of Jincheng, still did not dare to move forward.
The reason is simple, it's just that the Golden City at this moment is as broken as a piece of porcelain, and it seems that it will break if it is hit lightly again.
This scene was caused by many battles that took place here today, but the main reason was this one.
Because this was the most fierce battle.
The victory or defeat was decided, as well as life or death.
The cold wind whistled past, and in the end, it was Old Bai who slowly walked out.
The heavy armor that Bai Laozhou was wearing was broken in several places, and the rest was covered with strange marks, each of which was quite deep and carried the unique aura of a great cultivator... It would not be easy to repair it, at least it would take some time.
Fortunately, the core of the Sky Blood Puppet was still as bright as ever, burning like a stream of fire... This showed that the opponent's attack had not 'hurt' it at all...
But being able to break the armor of the Skyblood Puppet with his own strength and "injure" him to this extent... was already shocking enough.
"Is he a great swordsman? With the help of formation techniques?" Chu Tianxiao asked with lowered eyes.
Bai Lao nodded slowly.
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao fell into deep thought.
Back then, the third master of the Chu family was trapped by Mo Xiang and was about to be besieged by three great practitioners. However, at the critical moment, Chu Tianxiao turned the tables and the backlash of the Imperial Garden caused Mo Xiang to suffer greatly and was no longer able to fight. Chu Zhongtie, with the protection of "Purple Clothes", finally reversed the situation. Although he retreated because of Mo Xiang's trick, he also severely injured him before leaving...
Chu Tianxiao had heard about this incident from Chu Zhongtie a long time ago, but he didn't think much of it at the time. But now that he knew Mo Xiang's true strength, he couldn't help but worry about his uncle when he thought about it again...
"Uncle San once said that when he entered the game, he was able to suppress Mo Xiang... Now that I think about it, it was probably because the 'reinforcements' had not arrived at that time, and he deliberately showed weakness to prevent Uncle San from evacuating. Of course, he should also have set up a formation to cover up his aura, so he could do two things at once..."
"But no matter what, Mo Xiang's strength has finally been fully exposed today... I really didn't expect that he could hide it so deeply. So, Wu Xiang will not be simple..."
Chu Tianxiao's mind moved slightly, his gaze drifted away, looking somewhere, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Bai Lao understood and shook his head, saying, "It has dispersed."
There is a common sense in the vast land of China that before a great cultivator dies, he can choose to dissolve his body and use the sky as his tomb or the earth as his grave... And that is what most great cultivators will choose to do...
Mo Xiang, you were proud until the very last moment.
From retiring to his hometown, hiding in another country, to now... he is unwilling to let the enemy collect his body.
"This... is the Zhou people."
Old Bai recalled his previous battle with this man... Even though there was a huge gap between them in all aspects, Mo Xiang fought for his "revenge" until the very last moment, and only died with a relieved smile on his face... This scene also gave Old Bai a lot of feelings.
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao looked calm and nodded slightly: "After all, he is one of the two prime ministers of my Great Zhou."
"Yeah, what a pity..." Mr. Bai sighed.
"… The situation is pressing, but there is nothing we can do. If not today, there will be tomorrow. Since we cannot trust each other, then instead of wasting time, it is better to decide life and death in an instant and leave this game of chess to the winner."
Bai Lao was thoughtful after hearing this: "Young Master, what you said is very true..."
"Well, now that the person is dead, the hatred has disappeared, and the grudges have been settled. We should also turn around and do what the living should do..." At this point, Chu Tianxiao raised his head, "This time we enter Zhao, and we are only one step away from the final victory... At this juncture, we must not be careless!"
As he said this, he looked at Bai Lao and said, "That person... has arrived?"
Hearing this, Bai Lao nodded and said, "Just as Young Master expected, I will go and invite..."
Before he finished speaking, a soft and clear female voice came from a distance.
"No need."
A cloud of smoke rose in the distance, and a graceful woman in plain clothes came slowly. She held a sword in her right hand, which was placed on the neck of a young man in brocade clothes, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes but looked full of fear, and pushed him forward.
When she got closer, she bowed and said calmly, "Mr. Chu, I am here by the order of my master to hand this man over to you."
If you look closely, you will find that this woman is one of the women who appeared with the Xuanmen disciples and the immortals in the Savage River Basin that day! And the person she held hostage was Zhao Hao, the fifth prince of the Great Zhao who was captured and had no news since then!
How did they get here
Chu Tianxiao was not surprised by this. He just smiled and clasped his fists in return: "Thank you, Miss Su. Please thank Brother Xianliu for me."
"I don't dare."
At that moment, she looked calm, pushed Zhao Hao out with one hand, and said calmly: "This matter is over, and I should go back to report to you, Master Chu, please don't let you down."
Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao said solemnly: "Please rest assured about this matter. I have a foolproof plan."
The woman in plain clothes nodded, then turned around and left.
He moved so fast that Chu Tianxiao and others didn't even have time to see him off.
After she walked away, Chu Tianxiao looked at Bai Lao: "How is it?"
"…It's probably because of the Taoism she practices. It's hard to tell her level, but it's definitely not lower than Ming Yuan's. And the escape technique she practices must be of a high grade…" After a moment of silence, Bai Lao shook his head and said, "Even a maid has such a level of cultivation… What is the origin of this immortal…"
"… Hey, Mr. Bai, you still can't guess his 'identity'?"
