“Those Taiping soldiers who followed me also had their own parents, and they also had their own hardships.”
Yes, the world is too bitter and too chaotic. Since I have this ability, how can I possibly remain unaffected?
I am their commander-in-chief, I am the Taiping Heavenly King of the Taiping Army. I do not want to enjoy these good days alone; I want to share them with them.
So that everyone can live a better life, I will continue on this path, and I must continue.
As soon as he finished speaking, the outcome on the chessboard was revealed: Ye Li's rook had achieved checkmate.
"My dear parents, I'm sorry, I have to go back now."
He turned away and refused to face his parents, even though they were just shadows created by the illusion array.
This space is crumbling little by little.
"Haha, it's alright, I knew it all along. My son is definitely destined for great things."
Take good care of yourself, don't overwork yourself, pay attention to your health, we're here waiting for you to come back.
"Okay, no thanks."
Suppressing his sadness and sorrow, Ye Li took another step forward. He wanted to go back, back to the real world.
"Everyone, your commander-in-chief is back."
"■..."
In the real world, when Ye Li opened his eyes again, he saw the thick white fog around him gradually dissipating.
It seems that the formation here has been broken.
He raised his sword, using the blade to reflect his own shadow. Yes, he was still the same as always, a white-clad swordsman.
"However, it looks a bit messy here..."
The valley was in complete disarray, with the stone walls on both sides broken and riddled with gaps, the ground riddled with dents, and all the surrounding trees snapped.
"Huff...huff...huff..."
The heavy breathing caught Ye Li's attention. He saw a figure not far away, shrouded in endless black energy, with only the upper body remaining.
It was Li Zhi; he was finally going to die.
During the time when Ye Li went berserk due to the illusion array, blood-red sword energy rampaged through the valley.
His students went unnoticed, but the aftershocks of the attack, which was launched casually, sent them flying.
Only Li Zhi remained. Because of his superior skills, he held on for a longer period of time, but he ended up in this state.
With his butt hanging from a tree and his upper body still lying on the ground, he has only managed to hold on until now thanks to his willpower.
Perhaps it was Ye Li's gaze that made Prime Minister Li Zhi, who still had a breath left, struggle to raise his head.
“The Heavenly King of Taiping, you are a monster... a real demon.”
You won't succeed. I've managed to trap you, and I've kept you trapped for half a day.
Now, this road isn't easy for your team to pass through either. I've won again...
He lived up to the trust of the late emperor and the expectations of Emperor Liu Jie, successfully stopping Ye Li and his army of over 100,000 men with just a few people.
"Excuse me, although you've said so much, I still have one more question."
Who are you?
"!"
Ye Li's words were full of sincerity, and his questioning gaze made Li Zhi's eyes widen and his breathing quicken.
"You...you...Pfft..."
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and then Li Zhi's body stopped moving.
He was so angry with Ye Li that he died.
If nothing unexpected happens, there should be four updates today. The author is in good condition.
