Volume 1, Chapter 322: No Desire to Fight
"Ah~!" Wei Qian roared angrily, then threw a punch. His tremendous internal force turned into a huge gust of wind that whistled and hit both sides of the road, all the way to the mountain wall. The wind actually blew off the flames beside him and drifted to both sides.
In this way, the raging fire on the entire road was directly blocked, making it difficult to put out the fire to the rear.
However, this fist wind could only last for three breaths. When the fist wind dissipated, the majestic flames continued to spread to the rear.
Wei Qian quickly used all his strength to punch again, and once again blocked the sea of flames.
But at this time Wei Qian was already sweating all over, panting, and seemed to be very tired.
Wei Qian showed a faint smile on his face. Looking at the army moving away from the rear, he whispered softly: "That's good. As long as I can delay for one more second, one more soldier can survive!"
"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good!"
At the foot of Longxi Pass, Xiang Yun, with a gloomy face, suddenly frowned, because he also noticed that the sea of fire was blocked.
He issued the order to withdraw the troops before because he did not want to start a war. Now that he has chosen to start a war, none of these executioners who killed millions of his soldiers can escape!
Xiang Yun's body trembled, and he whispered: "Nine dragons come out together!"
Suddenly, bursts of dragon roars came out of Xiang Yun's body, and the next moment, nine five-clawed golden fire dragons flew out of his body, soaring high above the clouds, and flew towards the more than two million White Mist Country troops that had escaped.
The five-clawed golden fire dragon flew very fast. In the blink of an eye, it passed Wei Qian and arrived above the fleeing army.
The nine five-clawed golden dragons did not hesitate at all and spewed out dragon breath of the sun downwards. The majestic flames instantly engulfed the fleeing soldiers.
Many people were turned into ashes without even being able to scream, and even more were contaminated by the sun's fire and burned to death.
One five-clawed golden fire dragon was enough to deal with these soldiers. Now, nine five-clawed golden fire dragons attacked together, and each fire dragon could destroy all these fleeing soldiers with just one breath.
Wei Qian in the front sensed something, and when he turned around and saw the nine five-clawed golden fire dragons harming his soldiers, his eyes suddenly turned red and he almost cried with anger.
"Ah~Ah~!" Wei Qian roared angrily, and helplessness filled his roar.
He had tried his best, but still couldn't save the soldiers under his command. This helplessness was too painful.
Without the reason to keep guarding in his heart, his strength became weaker. As time went by, Wei Qian finally couldn't hold on any longer. He fell down and was engulfed by the flames.
Ten minutes later, the golden dragon dissipated, the flames went out, and the area a thousand meters outside Longxi Pass was charred black, with no grass growing. All that could be seen was the scorched earth and billowing smoke.
Xiang Yun, who slaughtered three million people with one move and did such a cruel and bloody thing, felt calm in his heart, without the slightest psychological burden, and even as if he had done something insignificant.
Xiang Yun, who has experienced life and death, now has a heart as hard as steel. No outsiders, dead or alive, can shake his heart.
At this moment, all the Huoyun Army in Longxi Pass rushed out, staring at the absurd scene in front of them in amazement, unable to speak for a long time.
Even Jiang Fei, Wang Shu and Zhao Zhong were helped over here. When they saw this scene, they were all frightened and their bodies trembled with excitement.
At the same time, everyone understood a reality, that is, how ridiculous their so-called bloody battles were, and how stupid the sacrifice of millions of brothers was.
They finally understood why the emperor, who was so wise in the past, would issue an imperial decree for the entire army to withdraw from the border.
It turned out that everything was under the emperor's control, and there was no need for any of them to worry or fight for their lives.
The reason why so many brothers died now can be said to be due to the self-righteousness of these soldiers, or it can be said that... it is due to Jiang Fei's arrogance and contempt for others.
The war was won and they should have cheered, but none of the Fire Cloud Army soldiers were happy at all. They felt like they were a joke, a complete joke.
Especially those soldiers who had opened the Hua Taixu and lost twenty years of life, regretted opening the Hua Taixu for the first time and regretted the loss of those twenty years of life.
Xiang Yun walked up to Jiang Fei with a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "Can you bear the lives of more than four million Huoyun soldiers alone?"
Jiang Fei's pupils shrank slightly, and the next moment, his body's qi and blood surged, and the energy circulation lines in his body malfunctioned. He suddenly spurted out of his mouth, his face turned pale, and he fainted.
Xiang Yun didn't even look at him, and then ordered in a cold voice: "The entire army will withdraw from Longxi Pass and return to the capital!"
This time, no one said anything against it, and everyone moved quickly, eager to leave as soon as possible. After doing such a ridiculous thing, they really had no face to stay in this place any longer.
They now don’t know how to face those soldiers who have died in the battle. Originally, their death was to sacrifice their lives for the country, which was a great honor, but now... can this still be considered an honor?
No one knows, and no one can get the answer.
At this moment, on the scorched earth in the distance, a figure with black smoke slowly stood up and looked in the direction of Longxi Pass with an angry face.
This person is none other than the commander-in-chief of the Baiwu Kingdom, Wei Qian!
He had a high level of cultivation and was not directly hit by the Sun Dragon's Breath, so he luckily survived, with only some burns on his body.
At this moment, a soldier in the Fire Cloud Army recognized him and immediately pointed and shouted: "He is... the Marshal of the White Mist Country!"
"It was him who killed thousands of our brothers alone!"
"I didn't expect that he is still alive. Brothers, let's kill him together and avenge our dead brothers!"
All of a sudden, the angry soldiers of the Huoyun Army found an outlet to vent their anger. They rushed towards Wei Qian, surrounded him, and some even started punching him.
Wei Qian's internal energy was now exhausted and he was seriously injured, so he could hardly mobilize his internal energy for defense. So he had no time to dodge, and the next moment he was knocked to the ground by a punch, letting out a slight groan.
At this time, the others started kicking him dozens of times, causing Wei Qian to spit out blood and the bones in his back to crack.
The pain penetrated deep into his bones, but Wei Qian still had some nerve. He did not let out a scream, but only groaned softly.
"Stop!" At this moment, Xiang Yun spoke out to stop him.
No one dared to disobey the emperor's order. All the Huoyun Army soldiers who were besieging Wei Qian retreated and made way for Xiang Yun.
Wei Qian, covered in blood, panted heavily as he watched Xiang Yun, dressed in a golden dragon robe, approach him. He was stunned on the spot. When Xiang Yun got closer, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you... the emperor of the Great Yun Empire?"
Xiang Yun nodded without comment. Wei Qian continued to ask, "Impossible. How could an emperor have such terrifying power..."
Xiang Yun said expressionlessly: "It's not magical that anyone can have power, but having power doesn't mean you can use violence. Power itself should only be used to protect yourself."
Xiang Yun then squatted down, getting closer to Wei Qian's face, and said in a deep voice: "This war should not have happened from the beginning, and so many soldiers should not have died. I have no intention of fighting, but you are forcing me... Today I will spare your life. Go back to see your king and tell him that he can either live in peace with the Great Yun Empire, or I will personally go over and grab his neck and ask him whether he wants peace or not!"
