Shan Yu.
The genius martial king of the ancient barbarian kingdom is just one step away from becoming a martial god.
However, geniuses are often arrogant, and this person is no exception.
Twenty years ago, Shan Yu infiltrated Da Gan and used secret techniques to enslave the geniuses of Da Gan, wanting to completely control the new generation of geniuses in Da Gan and thus control the future of Da Gan from the root.
only.
His actions had barely begun when he was discovered by a powerful martial god.
Although he had already reached the Perfected Martial King realm and his strength was unmatched among his peers, those who could become Martial Gods were not easily defeated.
After a fierce battle, Shan Yu was defeated and had to flee in all directions.
Unfortunately, Shan Yu was unable to escape the Great Struggle.
He was eventually chased to a secret realm and died tragically at the hands of the God of War.
Everyone thought that the matter of Shan Yu was over, but now the matter of Qi Gan and Shen Tu Nan has emerged.
It is clear that these two either obtained Shan Yu's secret techniques in that secret realm, or Shan Yu is still alive and they are being controlled by him.
After Kong Hao slowly finished recounting Shan Yu's story, everyone's expression turned solemn.
Lu Tao felt the same way, feeling the pressure increase significantly.
However, pressure can also be a driving force, prompting him to work harder to improve his cultivation and strength.
Just like this war.
After Lu Tao resolved the Red Flower Valley issue, he felt much more relaxed and planned to continue his cultivation at the Marrow Refining stage step by step, since it would only take him a month to break through to the Innate Realm.
When he learned that the situation at the front was critical, Lu Tao immediately felt the pressure and asked Manager Feng for advice on cultivating the Marrow Refining Realm. In less than a day, he broke through to the Innate Realm and possessed the strength of the Perfected Innate Realm.
This is the motivation that comes from pressure.
Without this pressure, even if he knew that the Dust-Clearing Pill could speed up his cultivation, he would be reluctant to give it up, since there was no pressure and the cultivation time was not long.
If we can save on the dust-removing pills, why not?
"Shan Yu is extremely strong, practically invincible among his peers. Back then, even the Great Martial God praised his talent highly."
After Kong Hao finished recounting Shan Yu's story, he continued, "He should still be alive. However, the fact that the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom failed to annihilate us in this battle exposed his existence. If he wants to continue hiding, he should be wrapping things up now. Moreover, I have already informed King Wu that he might still be alive, and it will soon reach the ears of the God of War. With such an unstable factor emerging, I, the God of War, will definitely find him. He won't have a chance to make a move against Brother Lu."
He had barely finished speaking.
One of the generals suddenly said with some unease, "Shan Yu has been exposed. He either continues to hide or flees Da Gan. What if he's heading towards the border right now and escapes from our side? Wouldn't we be in danger?"
By this time, everyone had returned to the border of Da Gan.
Kong Hao rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "What you can think of, the God of War can definitely think of too. Maybe the God of War is already waiting for him to appear in the sky."
As he spoke.
Kong Hao couldn't help but wave to the dark sky and greet him, "Martial God, you've worked hard."
Seeing Kong Hao's unreliable behavior, everyone, including General Wei, felt helpless.
No, can't you, the head of a prefecture, be a little more reliable?
Unbeknownst to them, a figure was silently watching them from the midst of the fierce wind.
The figure was an elderly man dressed in gray.
The old man looked very ordinary, with no aura of a powerful figure, yet he stood tall above the heavens with his bare body, seemingly oblivious to the fierce winds.
"That kid is still so unreliable."
The old man in gray also looked somewhat helpless, muttering, "With such a temperament, let's see how he survives the Heavenly Tribulation of the Martial King."
As he murmured, the gray-robed elder turned his gaze to Lu Tao, a smile appearing on his face. "Seventeen years old, top-grade aptitude, Marrow Refining Realm, not bad, not bad. Another genius has emerged in our Great Gan."
"This song, in particular, really resonates with me. My long-dormant passion for martial arts has gradually stirred up again. I never expected that such lyrics would come from a seventeen-year-old boy. It's truly remarkable."
Finding Shan Yu, who had been lurking in the Da Gan territory for twenty years, was undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack.
Since Lu Tao has ruined Shan Yu's plan, Shan Yu might come to kill Lu Tao.
This at least gave the old man a direction to find Shan Yu.
It was clear, however, that Shan Yu was very cautious and did not come looking for them, choosing instead to remain in hiding.
This caused the old man great distress.
"This rat has been lurking for twenty years, and I don't know how many people have been enslaved by it. Alas."
The old man sighed, his face filled with worry.
With a flash, the old man appeared beside Lu Tao and the others, startling them. They thought it was Shan Yu and almost fled in panic.
Fortunately, Kong Hao recognized the old man and bowed with joy, saying loudly, "Kong Hao of Yongkang Prefecture greets the Martial God."
God of War?
Everyone else was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Kong Hao.
They never expected that Kong Hao's absurd guess would actually be true.
The God of War was actually watching them from beyond the heavens, waiting for Shan Yu to appear.
"Greetings, Lord Martial God." The group hurriedly bowed in respect.
"Get up, everyone."
The old man in gray spoke calmly, but when he looked at Lu Tao, his voice became more animated as he said, "Lu Tao, you did very well. I am very satisfied with that song."
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
Lu Tao bowed again, then winked at the old man, as if to say, 'Martial God, what's next? Shouldn't you give me some kind of reward?'
I, Lu Tao, am only seventeen years old. I've been appreciated by the Martial God, so asking for a reward shouldn't be a problem, right?
If you miss this opportunity, you might never get another chance.
With the existence of the God of War, even the smallest gift he bestows is priceless.
Although he will become a God of War sooner or later, he hasn't done so yet.
Seeing Lu Tao in such a state, the others couldn't help but feel worried for him.
That's a God of War! Everyone was terrified when they saw him, afraid of offending him, and they all behaved very respectfully.
Lu Tao is doing well.
Not only were they not afraid at all, but they even asked for a reward.
They were truly like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger.
Even Kong Hao was somewhat restrained at this moment, unlike his previous unrestrained manner.
The old martial god chuckled, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, a jade talisman appeared in his hand and floated towards Lu Tao.
"This jade talisman contains several strands of my stored qi, which can withstand the Martial King's attack for a quarter of an hour without breaking. You can bind it to your master with your blood. If attacked by the Martial King, it will protect its master on its own."
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a wonderful item; this jade talisman arrived just in time.
With this jade talisman, what was there for him to fear from Shan Yu? If that guy dared to show up, he would surely be captured by the God of War.
Indeed, my efforts were worthwhile.
Lu Tao took the jade talisman, immediately dripped blood to bind it to his owner, and then put it away.
"Senior, what about me?"
Everyone else looked on with envy, especially Kong Hao, who was getting impatient, looking like he wanted it too.
Unfortunately, the God of War gave him an annoyed look and said, "What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? What merit have you made? More than 100,000 people in Yongkang Prefecture died under your nose, and you still have the nerve to ask for a reward?"
After being scolded by the God of War, Kong Hao immediately froze, lowering his head and not daring to say another word.
"If you don't change your temperament, how will you survive the Heavenly Tribulation of the Martial King?"
The God of War naturally knew that Kong Hao couldn't be entirely blamed for this, so he didn't scold him too much. Instead, he gave him another piece of advice.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Kong Hao immediately became serious.
The God of War didn't look at him again, but turned to General Wei and said, "After this battle, you need to calm down for a while to avoid developing inner demons, adjust your mind, and then face the Heavenly Tribulation of the Martial King."
"Yes, senior."
General Wei had already reached the pinnacle of his divine platform and had prepared everything for his tribulation to advance to the Martial King realm soon. He was even planning to hand over the general's position to Shen Tu Nan. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen?
All I can say is that fate is truly unpredictable.
"Alright, you all take care of the post-war matters."
The God of War didn't stay long. It seemed as if he had come down specifically to deliver a jade talisman to Lu Tao. He gave a few words of advice and then left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After the God of War left, everyone looked relieved.
With the jade talisman, Lu Tao's safety was guaranteed, and they no longer needed to worry.
