My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"Don't rush."
When Yang Huanyun was about to jump off the city wall to help Zhao Yan, Lian Zhongyi stopped her and gently shook his head, saying, "Don't go down."
Yang Huanyun said, "The two of them are Grandmasters fighting against Ayan. Ayan can't beat them."
Lian Zhongyi said, "What if the Third Young Master can defeat him?"
Yang Huanyun was stunned for a moment.
Lian Zhongyi said with great interest, "The Azure Dragon General Zhao Yan's one-against-two in the Azure Valley not only boosted the morale of the Han army, but will also become a legendary tale in the future."
"General Yang, you should trust your husband."
Yang Huanyun took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "Thank you for the reminder, sir!"
...
Originally, it was a challenge between Luo Ying and Zhao Yan. After Xu Qingshan joined, Luo Ying showed no dissatisfaction, and Wen Yong also seemed indifferent, clearly having made such preparations beforehand.
Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan were originally the five evil stars of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, doing countless dirty work for the Wen family, and had no morality to speak of.
Moreover, this is a battlefield.
They had only one goal: to break through the barrier!
Once Qingxia Valley is breached, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops will advance directly towards Changsui, putting the newly established Zhao Han regime in grave danger.
The longer the battle lasts, the more significant it becomes, as it will determine the future landscape of the Eastern lands.
This drove the Jin army back to Yongliang, and from then on, the Zhao Han family, which had recovered the land of Southern Zhou, became the dominant power, gradually encroaching on the territory of Wen Jin.
However, Changsui was defeated by the Jin army, and the Zhao Han people fled south, thus establishing a north-south confrontation with Wen and Jin. It was difficult to predict who would unify the world in the future.
As the war progressed to this point, both Du Yucheng and Wen Yong greatly admired Wen Hu's strategic vision, for this was indeed Wen Jin's best and only opportunity.
Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan acted simultaneously, the decaying aura emanating from the coffin and the sinister sword energy of the Impermanence Sword sweeping towards Zhao Yan like waves.
Although Xu Qingshan had a book tied around his waist and wasn't wearing armor, dressed like a scholar, his swordsmanship was actually the same as Luo Ying's.
They are all insidious and wicked.
Once he joined the battle, Zhao Yan was clearly struggling, but he fought with increasing courage and became exceptionally excited.
Zhao Yan deflected Xu Qingshan's longsword with a spear and said, "Your Wuchang Sword was originally quite powerful, and it should have become even more powerful after you become a Grandmaster. But you insist on holding a book all day long, making it neither literary nor martial, neither righteous nor evil, and you've lost all your style."
Xu Qingshan said, "Even impermanence requires culture."
Zhao Yan laughed and said, "In my older brother's words, he's a show-off!"
Xu Qingshan's face darkened, and he no longer held back, unleashing a full-force sword strike at Zhao Yan.
The Impermanence Sword moved with wide, sweeping movements, resembling a blade yet not quite, giving the impression of being two separate blades, as if it were about to cleave the space in front of it. However, unlike the sword, it seemed as if demons from hell were crawling out from the cleaved space.
The sinister sword intent alone is enough to plunge ordinary people into immense terror.
Luo Ying seized the opportunity, circled around behind Zhao Yan, and used Ghostly General again.
This is a combined effort from two grandmasters!
Yang Huanyun, perched atop the city wall, gripped it so tightly he was practically tearing it to shreds, while Zhao Yan, on the other hand, was filled with excitement and showed no fear whatsoever.
Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan were getting closer and closer to him, but he didn't move an inch, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.
They were observing!
The next moment, Zhao Yan held his spear upright, slammed it on the ground, and let out a hearty laugh.
Everyone thought he was going to draw his gun, but unexpectedly he...
He actually recited poetry!
"Carved and hammered from the deep mountains!"
"He treats the raging fire as nothing!"
"I fear not being pulverized to pieces!"
"I must leave behind a legacy of integrity!"
"This gun—"
"Ode to Limestone!!!"
After finishing the poem, Zhao Yan simply swung his spear at the sky, his body unleashing a violent and fierce spear power!
Within the force of the spear, it was as if countless spears were thrusting towards them!
Sensing the power of the gun, Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan's expressions changed simultaneously!
this……
This shot far surpasses Wen Pojun's level!
This is Zhao Yan. Just like in the previous battles, Zhao Yan is once again creating his own gun techniques to counter his opponents based on their situation.
When fighting Yang Huanyun, Zhao Yan created the "Manjianghong" move on the spot, turning the tide of the battle.
When Zhao Yan fought Wen Pojun, he created a new strategy on the spot and turned the tide of battle.
Today, facing the two masters Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan, Zhao Yan is at a disadvantage, but he becomes more and more courageous as the battle progresses, and even creates the "Lime Chant" on the spot!
These three spears were all named after the poems that Zhao Cheng taught him. They were spears imbued with poetic imagery, fused with the energy of sage wisdom, and unleashed power at his own level from afar, securing victory with a single spear!
The coffin and the sword energy of the Impermanence Sword instantly collapsed, and Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan were forced to retreat by the threat of the gun.
As the spear's power dissipated, Zhao Yan stood proudly beneath the city walls, his spear pointing skyward.
The Jin soldiers looked at each other, each of them subconsciously taking half a step back. Before them was only Zhao Yan, but in their hearts Zhao Yan had become one with the pass behind him, one with Changsui City, and one with the Zhao Han Empire!
One man can hold the pass against ten thousand!
The once bustling battlefield was now eerily quiet, the sound of tires rolling was extremely jarring. Luo Wushan stopped beside Wen Yong, saying nothing, when the black-clad boy and white-clad boy beside him suddenly charged at Zhao Yan.
Both the Black Boy and the White Boy are top-tier experts. Individually, they are not even at the peak of the top-tier experts, but when they work together, they can contend with a grandmaster. Their move at this time is obviously intended to reinforce Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan, aiming to fight four against one.
Although they were stunned by Zhao Yan's third shot, Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan understood that as long as Luo Wushan made a move, no matter how skilled Zhao Yan was, it would be useless.
Luo Wushan is a late-stage Grandmaster, the closest to the legendary Grandmaster realm!
If such a person were to fight on the battlefield, he would undoubtedly be a killer of ten thousand men!
"If we take down Zhao Yan, Qingxia Valley will surely fall!"
Luo Ying shouted sharply and ran towards Zhao Yan again with Xu Qingshan.
With the black-clad boy and white-clad boy in front of him, and Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan behind him, Zhao Yan's difficulty increased once again. At this moment, a white figure landed in front of Zhao Yan.
Wearing the same silver armor and the same long spear, Zhao Yan smiled happily as he looked at the only difference—a ponytail.
"Little ones, I'll play with you!"
Yang Huanyun shouted, blocking the attack of the black boy and white boy. Zhao Yan immediately rushed out from beside Yang Huanyun and took the initiative to attack Luo Ying and Xu Qingshan.
As the sun sets, the evening glow gradually fades away.
Seeing the six people locked in a stalemate, Luo Wushan picked up his canes and slowly stood up.
Luo Wushan looked up at the gray night sky and said, "It's getting dark, you guys should have had enough fun."
The hidden force from the crutches seeped into the ground, and Luo Wushan suddenly flew straight into the sky, looking down at Zhao Yan below. He then crashed down on Zhao Yan like a cannonball.
Boom!!!
