Chapter 43 They've rebelled, they've all rebelled!
Chapter 43 They've rebelled, they've all rebelled!
The sky was clear and blue, and the sun blazed high in the sky.
A major war that would determine the fate of both nations and the course of the world broke out.
Three hundred soldiers vs. five hundred soldiers.
Dai Viet mobilized the entire nation's resources to march east and attack a county.
The King of Da Yue used every trick in the book, including murder, threats, and kidnapping, to launch a war that would determine the fate of the nation, but the results were very poor.
The three hundred soldiers launched their charge, dragging their feet as if someone were holding their feet, moving at an astonishingly slow pace. Dou Changsheng was deeply grateful for this scene, for the people of Dayue were truly admirable; they did not collapse and scatter in all directions, which was a great show of respect to the King of Dayue.
If you give someone a papaya, you will receive a precious jade in return.
King Dou of Dayue personally escorted three hundred soldiers to the front, protecting their rear from any attack. This generous reward immediately earned the sincere gratitude of the entire army.
The pace of the charge slowed down once again, and both sides complemented each other, making full use of the national conditions of Dai Viet: a snail's pace of attack!
The three hundred elite Yue warriors charged slowly and deliberately, but Xiang Ji was like an arrow released from a bow, moving faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye he had arrived at the enemy's front line.
One bolt of lightning after another, like silvery pythons, appeared out of nowhere and began to circle around Xiang Ji, filled with an aura of destruction and arrogance.
This made Xiang Jielong, who had remained unmoved, narrow his eyes.
When Xiang Jielong saw Xiang Ji from afar, he didn't think much of it and didn't even consider him to be his cousin.
The Xiang family of Xiaxiang was too deeply involved with the State of Chu. Other powerful families would still leave room for maneuver, but the Xiang family of Xiaxiang had devoted all their efforts to helping the State of Chu and had no way out. A direct descendant like Xiang Ji would never betray the State of Chu.
Upon seeing Xiang Ji for the first time, Xiang Jielong knew that his enemy had run out of tricks and had actually found a substitute to impersonate Xiang Ji. This made Xiang Jielong think highly of his enemy, since Xiang Ji had recently gone to the Cloud Peak Kingdom and passed through Lang County.
It's quite remarkable that they were able to obtain such intelligence.
But when Xiang Ji arrived at the front of the battle and began to unleash his full power, Xiang Jielong's expression changed, because these streaks of silver-white lightning were the strange phenomena born from the proper operation of the Nine Heavens Thunder.
It should be known that the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique is a closely guarded secret of the Xiang family, and not everyone, even among the direct descendants, is qualified to learn it. Xiang Jielong knew that there were only a handful of people in the clan who could learn it.
The previous generation only had a few relatives like Uncle Xiang Liang, and it remains a secret among this generation.
The Nine Heavens Thunder is not only the righteous law, but also the best among them, and it is the foundation upon which the Xiang family of Xia Xiang stands.
Both Xiang Shi Lei Zu and Cui Shi Yan Di of Qinghe were powerful figures of their time, dominating the world.
Xiang Jielong was both shocked and furious. He couldn't believe that Xiang Ji, who had obtained the Nine Heavens Thunder Inheritance, would betray the Great Chu. But the cruel reality before him forced Xiang Jielong to accept it.
This filled Xiang Jielong with sorrow. The old patriarch had repeatedly told them to be loyal to the country, but unexpectedly, he had secretly sent his direct subordinates to surrender to the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Jielong found it hard to accept emotionally, but he could understand it rationally.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket; consider the future of your family business.
At this moment, Xiang Jielong had no doubt about the authenticity of Xiang Ji; the Nine Heavens Thunder could not be faked.
So after raising his twelve-foot-tall fire-tipped spear and gathering the power of his charge, Xiang Jielong hesitated and did not swing the spear.
Even if Xiang Ji is exceptionally talented, he is still too young. What if I kill Xiang Ji with one shot? What if it ruins the family's plans?
Xiang Jielong had many concerns, but Xiang Ji did not.
The man was like a cannonball, instantly rushing to the flank.
It tore through the advancing formation in an instant, as easily as eating and drinking.
Silvery-white lightning bolts kept appearing out of thin air, accompanied by thunderous roars that bombarded the area ahead.
Sun Duxiu unleashed a sword strike, its light flashing and its intent permeating the air. This was the power unique to the sixth rank of martial arts, yet the sword intent was not resolute, filled with hesitation, revealing that the person who drew the sword was not determined at this moment.
Sword intent is the power of will; if the mind changes, the power naturally weakens.
Sun Duxiu noticed Xiang Jielong's hesitation, and he also recognized Jiuxiao Leiting.
If he had a choice, Sun Duxiu would not want to unleash this sword strike, but if he did not, the assault formation would completely collapse. Naturally, Sun Duxiu could not allow this to happen, which is why he unleashed this contradictory sword strike.
A sword flashed across the sky, accompanied by thunderous roars.
The raging power of thunder shattered the longsword with overwhelming force.
Xiang Ji was like an indestructible chariot, advancing step by step, crushing all obstacles in his path.
The man had already reached Sun Duxiu's front and unleashed a punch, sending bolts of lightning crisscrossing the air like a long spear of thunder, radiating destructive power that threatened to annihilate the world.
Sun Duxiu unleashed another sword strike, like a raging storm, his sword intent sweeping across the land, continuous and unending.
Sun Duxiu's exclusive sword intent - Gale!
Sensing the danger at that moment, Sun Duxiu no longer held back.
After the sword intent erupted, it extinguished one bolt of lightning after another. Just as the sky was cleared of lightning, Sun Duxiu finally showed a relaxed expression, only to find Xiang Ji standing to one side, calmly watching him.
Those eyes were filled with ferocity and savagery, and a domineering will was rising continuously.
Fear flashed in Sun Duxiu's eyes. That was not human at all. His sword intent was suppressed. The sixth-rank swordsman was actually suppressed by the seventh-rank swordsman.
If he had been properly suppressed by the Nine Heavens Thunder, Sun Duxiu would not have been afraid. But the other party acted on his own will, and how old was he?
He's truly a prodigy, a monster.
The fact that even such a monster as the Xiang family has defected to the enemy shows how badly the Great Chu looks.
Suddenly, a thread in Sun Duxiu's mind snapped. The Prime Minister Xiang kept saying that he would never betray him and would fight to the last man.
Even if Chu has only three households left, it will surely be Chu that destroys Qin.
But he did such a thing in private.
No, this is already perfectly aboveboard.
If the Xiang family could do it, why couldn't the Sun family?
Thinking of Xiang Jielong's hesitation, which was tantamount to blatantly aiding the enemy, Sun Duxiu thought, "Why are you still hesitating?" He leaped into the air and immediately slashed out with his sword, his target being the soldiers of Lin County.
Sun Duxiu chose to surrender. Following such a monster was definitely not a mistake. After all, the one in front of him was not well thought out, but the old bastards of the Xiang family in Xiaxiang were definitely treacherous.
I'll fuck your mother.
They are playing me; these people of the Xiang clan are playing me.
The sixth-rank martial artist from Lin County, the old patriarch of the Zhang family, was so angry that he cursed loudly.
If you can vote, why can't I?
I voted too.
They've rebelled, they've all rebelled.
Xiang Jielong looked around blankly, and before he could even make a move, the situation collapsed.
Is this what the family arranged?
Then I might as well vote too!
There should still be time!
