Chapter 108: Shooting the Sun: She knows how to do it.
The twenty-first year of Yongxi.
Wangman Village outside Pudu City.
Torches were lit, illuminating the entire village as bright as day. Princess Changning's military flags fluttered in the wind. The surrendered Quanyi soldiers distributed porridge under her banner. The Wangman people who were queuing up looked uneasy and a little surprised.
The princess said that she brought the Great Zhou army, but the soldiers were all dog-barbarians with high noses and deep eyes. These dog-barbarians were indeed not as barbaric and brutal as those seen before.
After these dog-barbarian soldiers lost their ferocious expressions, Wang Manren was surprised to find that a large number of them were still children, and were even a little shy when looking at each other.
The Wangman people had no idea how much effort Princess Changning had put in to teach these dog-barbarians that “Wangman people are just like us,” and they didn’t understand what “a benevolent person loves others” meant. They only knew that the princess was a good person.
Because the only difference between this Inuyi army and other armies is that the leader changed from a Inuyi noble to Princess Changning.
After eating, Wang Man put down his bowl and chopsticks and prayed devoutly in the direction of the princess, asking him to bless this generous and kind princess if there really was a god.
"Your Highness!" In his left hand, he held a blood-stained red tasseled spear, and in his right hand, he held the reins. The vanguard Wei, who was wearing a bright light armor, rode over on horseback. The cavalrymen behind him tied up a bunch of demons who kept cursing, raising dust all the way. "We had just walked west for ten miles when we ran into these demons who were ordered by some state master to come and stop the Zhou army!"
The tall and strong Wei Xianfeng jumped off his horse and clasped his fists towards Princess Changning with joy: "Look, this is something that we have been searching for for a long time, but now it is easy to find. Where is the swordsman? Let's heat up the pot and boil some water to whet her appetite!"
The demons who were cursing paused, their faces full of doubtful expressions of "did I hear wrongly?" Isn't the swordsman a human? Why does he sound more demonic than them?
Can she eat so many monsters? Can this be called an appetizer?
The princess looked at the cavalrymen behind Wei Xianfeng and saw that none of them were seriously injured. The most serious one only had a tourniquet tied around his thigh. She heaved a sigh of relief and turned to her and said, "Master Swordsman has gone to Pudu City to look for Mahakala. He may not be back for a while. You should take everyone to rest and wait for news from Master Nie."
Wei Xianfeng nodded and was about to lead people to lock up all the demons when a Yaksha ghost seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't stop laughing: "Are you sure your swordsman can come back? I advise you to go to Pudu City as soon as possible to collect the bodies, and give a snack to the God of Heaven, hahahaha!"
The princess's face darkened. Wei Xianfeng turned around and raised his spear. These monsters couldn't even be defeated by mortals like them, so how could they be worthy of criticizing the swordsman?
Just as she was about to stab the Yaksha demon and make it shut up forever, a blinding light suddenly blinded her and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
She raised her hands to cover her eyes, and looked at the sky that suddenly brightened in surprise: "...The sun? Where did the sun come from?"
“Hahahaha, here he comes! Here he comes!” The Yaksha ghost bathed in the scorching sun, but suddenly his strength surged, rising from the ground, and with a light pull, he broke the hemp rope that was as thick as his wrist. “See, you idiot, even the sun has surrendered to Mahakala, you humans are about to be finished, why don’t you clean yourself up quickly? If Grandpa Yaksha is happy, he can leave a few of your corpses intact.”
As it finished speaking, the demons beside it stood up one after another. Their bodies grew taller under the sunlight, their muscles bulged, and they emitted an aura far more powerful than before.
The horses under the cavalrymen became restless and snorted continuously. Some of them were thrown off their horses and quickly got up, but they did not bother to pull the running horses away. They held their weapons and stared nervously at the demons with mocking expressions.
The Yaksha ghost looked at Wei Xianfeng and Princess Changning with pity: "Cherish your last moments together. From today on, the sun will completely become a servant of the gods. You humans have enjoyed thousands of years of comfort, but now it's time to end it... Hush, don't say anything. You want to mention Gongsun Jianxia again? Where is she? She can't be in the belly of the gods, hahahaha!"
"Clang!" Wei Xianfeng's red tasseled long spear was like a flash of lightning, piercing straight into the chest of the Yaksha ghost. The Yaksha ghost, who was clumsy not long ago, dodged quickly after being baptized by the sunlight, and grabbed the sharp tip of the spear with his backhand.
With a light swing, the iron tower-like Wei Xianfeng's knuckles were torn open with a bloody crack. Wei Xianfeng groaned, gritted his teeth, and pulled back the spear, trying to extract the tip of the spear from the Yaksha ghost's hand. The next moment, he felt a terrifying force coming from the tip of the spear, and his chest suddenly hurt. He was thrown out by this great force.
"Protect His Highness!" Wei Xianfeng blurted out the moment he flew out, not caring about the sunken feeling in his chest, and looked anxiously at Princess Changning who had not yet reacted.
The Yaksha demon had already bared its fangs, extended its sharp claws, and pounced towards the princess.
The guards on both sides and the cavalry farther away roared and rushed forward at the same time to protect the princess, but were stopped by one demon after another.
Princess Changning's mind went blank and her face was pale as she was approached by a demon for the first time. The golden seal bestowed by the emperor on her waist emitted a golden light, which stopped the Yaksha demon for a moment.
The Yaksha ghost sneered, and its sharp claws tore through the golden light, and it grabbed Princess Changning's head again, intending to grab her directly into its mouth and swallow her alive.
“Puff.”
A dagger stabbed into its chest, stopping it once again. The Yaksha looked down in surprise, and the trembling princess pulled out the dagger the moment she reacted.
"Such a brave heart must taste even better." The Yaksha licked his lips, not taking the fatal injury seriously at all, and his blue claws easily clasped the human's fragile neck.
The sound of breaking wind sounded at the same time. Wei Xianfeng, who got up, didn't care about the demon rushing over from the other side. He pulled out a dagger from his boots and threw it towards Yaksha Gui Taiyangxue.
The Yaksha demon showed a look of annoyance and raised its hand to grab the dagger. Princess Changning took the opportunity to kick its knees hard and pried its thick fingers apart, trying to break free.
The Inuyi soldiers and Wangman people who were running towards this place shouted angrily in Inuyi and Wangman languages respectively: "Let go of the princess!"
The Yaksha ghost raised a scornful arc at the corner of his mouth, grabbed the dagger that broke through the air, and was about to break it casually.
A magnificent gaze that seemed to span a long time fell on it, as if it came from a casual glance of an ancient giant.
The Yaksha ghost's body began to tremble violently, as if his soul and body were soaked in ice water. His eyes clearly did not contain any malice, and could even be described as friendly, as if asking: Are you looking for me?
Who…who is…
The terrified Yaksha ghost hurriedly let go of Princess Changning and stumbled back a few steps. His strong body blessed by the sun became more fragile than tofu.
A hint of enlightenment emerged in its heart, and a tall figure in a moon-white robe and carrying a greatsword appeared before its eyes.
It should not have mentioned the Lord Swordsman in such an arrogant tone. It had touched the most horrifying taboo in this world. Despair and trembling occupied its heart. It fell to its knees with a plop, its face distorted like a pug with flattery and fawning, and it uttered incoherent begging words.
“Pah.”
A drop of blood flowed out of its nose and dripped onto the ground. It seemed to have turned on a switch, and blood mixed with minced meat rushed out.
Princess Changning propped herself up and, protected by the guards who had arrived, she took a few steps back, watching the scene in shock.
Every demon that showed disdain for Lord Swordsman, like the Yaksha ghost, frantically shouted "Lord Swordsman, please spare my life", but still fell to the ground uncontrollably, with broken organs and blood spewing out of their seven orifices. After a while, they became a piece of skin as thin as a piece of paper, which fell lightly to the ground and shattered into pieces by the wind.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" Wei Xianfeng rushed over, supported Princess Changning, and said with great self-blame, "It's all my fault..."
"Now is not the time to apologize." Princess Changning supported her arms, feeling the coldness of the Mingguang armor, her heart beating very fast. She glanced at the Quanyi soldiers and Wangman people who were still panicking after the demon died. She did not look at the strange sun above her head, and said in a deep voice, "Leave 500 soldiers to protect the villagers, and the others will set off with me."
Wei Xianfeng's heart tightened: "Princess, let me go..."
Princess Changning pressed the back of her hand, causing her to swallow the rest of her words: "Gongsun Swordsman has already beheaded Mahakala. What happened just now was the final counterattack of the gods."
She signaled Wang Man, who understood the Great Zhou language, to translate this sentence, and then looked at the dog-barbarian soldiers: "The army is now heading to Pudu City to recapture the city occupied by the evil god. Soldiers, it's time to go home!"
She didn't know whether what the Yaksha ghost said was true or not, but there was no doubt that the sudden appearance of the sun must be related to the evil god in Pudu City.
The fact that the sun failed to succeed is enough to prove that Gongsun Jianxia can definitely defeat the evil god, but he has not returned yet.
She can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor any longer.
She wants to use her responsibility in this critical moment to win the hearts of the people of this land. She wants to be the king of this land.
The dog-barbarian soldiers looked at Princess Changning in surprise. After a moment, they reacted and showed joy on their faces. They cheered, "Go home! Go home!"
Sixty years of peace and prosperity.
Swordsman Li Zhou withdrew his gaze and looked at the bright sky again.
It seemed like someone called her a few times just now, and the tone was not very friendly. I don’t know what they wanted to say.
She looked around but couldn't find anyone. It was strange.
However, now is not the time to think about these things.
The sun is about to hit us.
Li Zhou held Zhi Beiyou in his hand and looked at Nie Hong, Xiao Lu and others who were ready for battle. His eyes fell on A Piao who was holding a bow and arrow.
She knows the answer to this question.
If the sun is disobedient, you should shoot it with a bow and arrow.
