During the few days that the Chu army and Da Gan were at a truce and reorganizing, Gu Yifeng soon heard the news he wanted: in order to establish military prestige and boost the morale of Da Chu, Song Wuyai had already killed three generals on the battlefield.
Such losses are a double blow to the current state of the Chu state, but for Song Wuyai, ensuring that the Chu army does not fall into chaos and is not swayed by the surrender of Han is the most important thing.
Gu Yifeng admired Song Wuyai's methods, but unfortunately, he did not intend to let this opportunity slip by.
Almost the next morning, he led an army of 50,000 to the border of Chu and began to challenge them.
"Song Wuyai, didn't you want to kill me? Now I'm here. Today you will fight me one-on-one. If you win, the Great Chu will naturally belong to you. If you lose, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you!"
Gu Yifeng shouted loudly, and these words, amplified by his cultivation, instantly spread throughout the entire border region of the Great Chu. All the soldiers of the Great Chu turned their gazes toward Song Wuyai.
Although no one in the Chu army dared to say anything, the pressure from so many eyes was unimaginable.
Gu Yifeng wanted this effect. Now that Song Wuyai has lost the support of the people, if he continues to avoid battle, the Chu army will have no reason to continue fighting.
"Hehe, Emperor Da Gan, you have provoked me time and time again. Since you are so eager to die, I will grant your wish today."
After pondering for a long time, Song Wuyai finally shouted angrily, his tone full of disdain and anger, but in his heart he had already cursed Gu Yifeng countless times.
The next moment, his figure appeared in mid-air above the border. The two looked at each other and then rushed out at the same time, their fists clashing. A terrifying gale spread out, scattering the surrounding soldiers and horses.
This was a clash between cultivators at the Opening Mansion Realm. Song Wuyai's strength was now also at the late stage of the Opening Mansion Realm, but compared to Gu Yifeng, his aura was still much weaker.
"It seems General Song has another opportunity."
Gu Yifeng sneered, channeling his spiritual energy and transforming his fist into a palm strike. This Ice-Shattering Palm strike landed on Song Wuyai's wrists, but Song Wuyai crossed his arms to block in front of his chest, his reaction speed surprisingly fast.
In this way, the power of the Ice-Shattering Palm was divided, and its power was greatly reduced.
Gu Yifeng didn't care that his palm strike had failed, and he retreated repeatedly. Song Wuyai followed closely behind, and a long spear appeared in his hands. He thrust the spear towards Gu Yifeng with a spiraling gust of wind.
"You used this gun to escape back then, and now you want to escape again? It's impossible."
Gu Yifeng frowned slightly, and the Longquan Sword was suddenly drawn. The spiritual power in his dantian was frantically used and poured into it, which was the external manifestation of the Mountain and River Sword. The two were combined, and the power of the sword immediately increased by three points.
With a single swing of his sword, he blocked the spear. Seeing this, Song Wuyai did not hesitate any longer. He also unleashed his spiritual power, channeling it into the spear, which also took the form of a spear.
The two exchanged another glance, understanding each other's thoughts. They then separated, simultaneously accumulating spiritual energy within their bodies. As experts at the late stage of the Opening Mansion Realm, neither of them wanted to expend any more energy.
A single, decisive strike can quickly resolve the battle and bring this Three Kingdoms war to a close. Only the final victor has the right to laugh.
The two paused for a moment, then attacked simultaneously. A dragon-shaped phantom slowly emerged behind Song Wuyai, attaching itself to the spear, and roared out with a single strike.
On the other hand, Gu Yifeng unleashed the full power of the Devouring Heaven Record, which merged with the power of the sword, eventually transforming into a gluttonous phantom with eyes like lanterns. It shot out in an instant and collided with the dragon-shaped phantom.
The anticipated storm did not spread, because the gluttonous phantom had completely suppressed the dragon-shaped phantom, constantly opening its mouth to tear and bite, and in just a few breaths it devoured the dragon-shaped phantom completely, and then charged towards Song Wuyai.
Song Wuyai was instantly swallowed by the illusory image of the Taotie. Countless sword lights and spear shadows erupted within the illusion, eventually tearing him to pieces. Thus, the number one expert of the Chu Kingdom perished.
Just when Gu Yifeng thought the story of the Three Kingdoms was about to come to an end, Song Wuyai's soul slowly emerged from the spot.
"Still alive? I didn't expect you to have already made it to the Concentration Realm."
Seeing this, Gu Yifeng was about to gather his spiritual power and whisper a message to finish off Song Wuyai, but unexpectedly, this number one expert instantly lay down on the ground and chose to surrender.
"No, no, no! Your Majesty, please wait! Don't you want to know how my cultivation level improved? I'll just give you a piece of advice: spare the Chu and Han kingdoms, and also the great Gan kingdom behind you!"
"Your current actions have already violated the rules of the lower realm. If you continue to insist on unifying the three kingdoms, you will regret it!"
Seemingly afraid that Gu Yifeng would actually make a move, Song Wuyai blurted out everything he wanted to say in the instant Gu Yifeng paused.
"You mean...? There's someone manipulating things behind the three major countries?"
Gu Yifeng, with his exceptional intelligence, instantly understood Song Wuyai's meaning and frowned in thought.
"That's right. They haven't made a move until now, only because they're curious about your talent. Now that you've done what you needed to do for revenge, if you don't stop, they'll settle accounts with you sooner or later."
Song Wuyai continued speaking, and seeing that Gu Yifeng didn't seem to intend to kill him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain.
"I'll give you a chance to finish speaking. Don't make me ask any more questions."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng looked at Song Wuyai with some impatience, then spoke coldly. He mobilized his spiritual power and instantly drew a talisman in the void, which was the Thunder Emperor's summons, ready to kill him with lightning at any time.
"No, no, no! I'll tell you! On the mainland, our Three Kingdoms are isolated mortal realms. Although we can cultivate immortality, the highest realms we can reach are the Opening Mansion Realm or even the Condensing Spirit Realm."
"Beyond the Three Kingdoms, there is an even more vast world, which they call the Upper Realm, while we are in the Lower Realm. To leave the Lower Realm, one must have a travel permit issued by a cultivator from the Upper Realm."
"Only a Road Pass can lead people through the sealing array of the lower realm and create a path to send them out. There are only two conditions to obtain a Road Pass: first, cultivate a divine soul and reach the peak of the Opening Mansion Realm; second, gain the approval of the people of the upper realm."
"Therefore, Your Majesty, if you wish to go to the Upper Realm to cultivate and break through to a higher realm, you must stop now!"
At this moment, Song Wuyai used almost all his strength to persuade Gu Yifeng, just to get a way out.
Unfortunately, Gu Yifeng's thoughts were far more complex than he imagined. After understanding this level of knowledge, his spiritual energy surged, and lightning instantly poured down. Song Wuyai's soul was completely dissipated under the baptism of lightning, without even a chance to be reincarnated.
"If you were not afraid of death, I would respect you. Unfortunately, you are not."
