Chapter 85 Sea of Blood: They Finally Won
Flames shot into the sky, illuminating the pitch-black battlefield. The darkness under the sky was turned into daylight by the flames of war. Gu Huizhou and Han Jiqing led their respective armies toward the Xiao Kingdom's military camp.
The two attacked from the left and right, seemingly trying to encircle the Xiao Kingdom's military camp from both sides.
Xiao Zhuyue heard the soldier's message early in the morning. He put on his armor and led his troops forward. He cursed inwardly, wishing he could tear Gu Huizhou to pieces right now.
It's best to be sensible, Yao Ruyi!
Otherwise… the man’s eyes darkened; no matter what, he wouldn’t lose!
"drive!"
"kill--"
"Kill all the people of Yun Kingdom!"
...
Amidst the swirling dust and the sight of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the faces of those engaged in battle were obscured. However, Gu Huizhou spotted Xiao Zhuyue instantly. His expression hardened, and with a swift stroke of his longsword, he charged forward from among the soldiers. Those soldiers paled; how could His Majesty be at the forefront? "Your Majesty! Your Majesty—"
Upon hearing this, those around immediately turned to look, "Your Majesty?! What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
"But has something happened to His Majesty?"
Panic spread among the soldiers, instantly igniting a fire in Jiang Shuang, who was standing not far away. "Shut up! When has His Majesty ever allowed you to interfere in his affairs?" Jiang Shuang roared. "Then let's meet the enemy!"
It's good that nothing happened. Even those who were scolded were willing to accept it. "Yes!"
"Yes, General! Don't worry! Brothers, kill!"
"kill--"
The battle raged from midnight until dawn, with countless soldiers falling one after another. The walls of corpses blocked many arrows. Jiang Shuang was shot in the right hand. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes tightly. With a muffled groan, he pulled out the arrow, and deep red blood splattered everywhere, startling the surrounding soldiers. "Lieutenant General!"
"Lieutenant! How are you?!"
Jiang Shuang shouted impatiently, "I'm fine!"
"Nothing to my ass!" Han Jiqing sneered. He dodged an attack from one of the enemy's lieutenants with a swift movement, pulled out a bottle of medicine from his pocket, and tossed it to Jiang Shuang. "Put the medicine on yourself, or you'll die!"
Jiang Shuang paused, then suddenly burst into laughter. He clutched the medicine and stepped aside. "Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"
Han Jiqing breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the person slip away to the back. He spread his five fingers, then gripped the sword hilt tightly again. He recognized the general opposite him; he used to be by Xiao Xiaoyuan's side, but now he was by Xiao Zhuyue's side.
Learn to be adept at changing one's stance depending on the wind!
The general, a veteran of countless battles, suddenly turned cold, inspiring fear in all who beheld him. The man opposite him frowned, "Han Jiqing! Your pretense is futile!"
"Pretending?" Han Jiqing's face darkened.
Ji Wen's death and Xiao Xiaoyuan's disappearance rushed into his mind at this moment! He didn't even know how he had spent the past year!
His daughter was only a month old when the war started, but now, with the year drawing to a close, the child can already recognize people!
But has he, as her father, ever taught her a single word?
Xiao Kingdom, those countless blood debts, Han Jiqing will settle them slowly! Han Jiqing suddenly shouted, "Ah—" and then flew away like an arrow released from a bow.
"Clang—" The swords clashed.
When no one was watching, Gu Huizhou pierced Xiao Zhuyue's upper arm with his sword. Xiao Zhuyue knew he was no match for Gu Huizhou, but so what? He gritted his teeth and retreated sharply.
As the longsword was withdrawn, blood gushed out of the hole like water from a dam bursting.
He covered his face with one hand and kept backing away, but Gu Huizhou didn't give him that chance. The man sneered, his long robe under his armor was a dazzling and arrogant red. He was like a god in ancient mythology, handsome and flawless but ruthless. Gu Huizhou moved his feet slightly, but his figure was as fast as a ghost. Almost instantly, his long sword was thrust at Xiao Zhuyue again.
Every move leaves no room for error!
His heart pounded, Xiao Zhuyue's eyes widened, he clutched his arm and cursed under his breath, kicked the nearby pebbles, and quickly leaped onto his horse, snatching a shield from a junior officer and holding it to his chest.
"If you kill me, the war between our two countries will continue forever!" Xiao Zhuyue shouted hysterically as he barely dodged Gu Huizhou's attack.
"Forever?" Gu Huizhou sneered. "I couldn't ask for more!"
He couldn't wait to swallow the Xiao Kingdom whole!
"Boom—" The boulder crashed to the ground with a deafening roar. The white snow was no longer visible; the blood had long been swallowed by the flames of war, mingling with the crimson liquid and making it indistinguishable from the real thing. Gu Huizhou lowered his brows. "Trying to run?"
dream!
Like a cunning snake darting through the forest, Xiao Zhuyue looked back and saw the red figure getting closer and closer. His pupils trembled. Gu Huizhou had actually caught up with them. "That madman!"
The two stopped on the hillside. Xiao Zhuyue gasped for breath, held his sword in front of him, and shouted with a smirk, "Gu Huizhou! Do you know where Ruyi is? Do you know how I captured him?"
"Hahahahahahaha," the arrogant and unrestrained laughter was shrill and ear-piercing, and Xiao Zhuyue almost laughed until tears streamed down her face. "Fourteenth, Your Majesty, don't forget that there's still one person missing."
Silence fell between them, the two only a few dozen meters apart. A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of surprise flashed across Gu Huizhou's eyes.
"Even if I didn't know, it's none of your business." Gu Huizhou's words had barely left his lips when he immediately moved, his silver sword slicing through the air with a "whoosh—"
"Damn it!" Xiao Zhuyue exclaimed in astonishment, "Gu Huizhou!"
The excruciating pain soaked Xiao Zhuyue almost completely in cold sweat. He raised his sword to meet Gu Huizhou's attack, "Sword—"
Today, only one of the two can stay!
"Smack—"
The long whip rolled to the ground, Yao Ruyi's eyes were bloodshot, he almost collapsed on the bed with all his strength gone, there was no good spot on his body, and three or four strong men were lying on the ground, all of them pale and unable to breathe.
Xiao Han stared at this side of the bed, his pupils wide with disbelief. The scene he had just witnessed filled him with utter horror. "You!"
The person's hand has turned into red mycelium!
"Heh," Yao Ruyi felt the magic power in his dantian running out, and his heartbeat gradually quickened. The wounds on his body stopped bleeding, but the pain almost made him faint!
Xiao Han picked up the whip again, and Yao Ruyi was startled. The rope on his hands was broken, but he couldn't untie the iron chains on his feet.
"I'll ask you one more time, you treat—" Xiao Han said coldly. He didn't care what the other party was; he had to do whatever His Highness ordered him to do.
"Cure my ass!"
Yao Ruyi lay by the bedside with his eyes downcast. His right hand could no longer take form, but... he would give it a try!
It's only thanks to this that I was able to break free of these ropes.
"Then... die!" With a gloomy look in his eyes, Xiao Han became ruthless and raised his long whip once more.
This time, Yao Ruyi didn't dodge. He quickly grabbed the long whip and pulled Xiao Han in front of him with force. Suddenly, he smiled wickedly, and his eyes turned orange-red in an instant. Yao Ruyi sneered inwardly. He had waited so long, and finally, he had this opportunity!
Xiao Han was stunned. "Demon! Die!"
"A demon?" Yao Ruyi scoffed. If Cui Xiangzhu were here, he would surely say that his appearance was exactly like Gu Huizhou's.
"You've already called me a monster, so tell me, between the two of us, who will die?" Mushroom's face had never shown a playful expression before, but now he looked at the fear in Xiao Han's eyes and laughed happily.
The hand gripping the whip suddenly released its grip, and in the instant Xiao Han reacted, the fingertips of that hand became exceptionally sharp, "Whoosh—"
A long trail of blood appeared on Xiao Han's face. His eyes narrowed, and he leaped into the air. "What are you doing!"
"What's the use of running?" Yao Ruyi sneered, his fingers covered in his own blood. Xiao Han wanted to run? It was too late!
"You!" The pain that spread from his limbs felt like it was devouring his bones and blood. Xiao Han's eyes widened as he braced his longsword against the ground. "Demon, what have you done to me!"
"I am a demon, so naturally I will take your life." Yao Ruyi said coldly. The pain in his body made his mind numb, and his consciousness became increasingly unclear. His vision trembled, and he could no longer even make out Xiao Han's appearance.
He couldn't hold on any longer, but Xiao Han would definitely die before him!
Three, two—"Bang—"
Xiao Han stared wide-eyed as he fell to the ground along with three or four burly men. They all had only a tiny wound on their bodies, their faces were deathly pale, and even the fear on their faces was exactly the same.
finally……
Exhausted, Yao Ruyi collapsed onto the bed, panting. His eyes were half-closed, his face was bloodless, and even his lips were cracked. "Gu Huizhou, Gu Huizhou..."
Mushroom felt a little aggrieved; why hadn't Gu Huizhou arrived yet?
"I wonder if Gu Huizhou is awake or not." But with war raging outside, Yao Ruyi felt that Gu Huizhou was on the battlefield.
Suddenly, "Swing—"
A sharp, loud crash echoed outside the tent. He vaguely heard Xiao Zhuyue's voice, "Even if I can't have it, you won't get it either! A mere demon beast, and His Majesty of the Great Yun Emperor treats it like a treasure! How laughable!"
"I am willing."
Yao Ruyi suddenly opened her eyes; it was Gu Huizhou!
"--"
"clang--"
The sounds of fighting were incessant. Yao Ruyi tried to make a sound but couldn't. He struggled to sit up, getting himself covered in blood again. He was completely soaked in blood, even his eyelids were stained with blood.
Just like the red robe worn by Gu Huizhou.
"Gu—"
"Gu Huizhou..."
His voice was hoarse, barely louder than the sound of a gust of wind.
However, Gu Huizhou, who was outside the tent, stiffened. He turned his head to look at the tent beside him, and a thought struck him.
"Die!" Xiao Zhuyue suddenly changed the direction of the sword in his hand. He laughed wildly. The two fought from the hillside to the military camp. Gu Huizhou never killed him. Gu Huizhou just didn't dare to kill him. He just didn't dare!
"Hahahaha, coward! Die!"
"Whoosh—"
"Bang--"
Gu Huizhou turned around coldly, his sword flashing with fierce and ruthless speed. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he kicked Xiao Zhuyue in the chest with a loud "bang."
Xiao Zhuyue's eyes widened. His right arm seemed to be hanging on his body as he spun around. He was swept up by Tu Da's force and slammed hard into the tent, landing on a burly man.
He opened his eyes and met Xiao Han's horrified and astonished gaze.
But that person was already dead.
"Xiao Han!" A chill ran down my spine. Xiao Han was dead! How could this be!
"Whoosh—"
"Hmm—"
In an instant, the sword pierced through Xiao Zhuyue's body, along with the burly man beneath her. Gu Huizhou, like a demon coming to claim lives, landed on the ground with a thud.
It was as if stepping on Xiao Zhuyue's heart.
"Gu—Gu—" A mouthful of blood suddenly spilled from the corner of his mouth. How could Gu Huizhou kill him! How could he! He stared in disbelief, but out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Han's face was right in front of him. Xiao Zhuyue's body began to tremble. He struggled to turn his head to look at Gu Huizhou, "You dare!"
"Whoosh—"
The longsword was drawn and pierced again. Gu Huizhou felt his whole body stiffen. He trembled and didn't even have the strength to take a step forward.
May your wishes come true!
"Gu, Gu Huizhou..." Yao Ruyi opened his mouth, but the words he uttered were almost silent. His smile was weak, as if he would shatter at the slightest touch.
Instantly.
A surge of rage welled up inside him, and he suppressed his anger in a low voice. Gu Huizhou clenched his teeth, as if his anger would devour his reason at any moment.
Who, who is it?
Gu Huizhou softened his breathing, his throat tightening as he looked at Yao Ruyi, "Yao Ruyi..."
"Gu Huizhou, it hurts so much." Yao Ruyi said, his eyes instantly filled with tears. He hadn't cried for the past few days, but he couldn't hold back for a moment when facing Gu Huizhou. The pain in his body seemed to suddenly double, and he could no longer hold back.
Gu Huizhou was in a hundred times more pain than him, and when he saw the injuries on Yao Ruyi's body, the man almost forgot to breathe.
"Gu Huizhou, kiss me."
Blood spread from their mouths, and after a few moments of the bloody kiss, a white light emanated from Yao Ruyi's body. The tears in his eyes stopped, replaced by a sly smile. "It seems I'm a spirit who lied to gain cultivation."
"Good girl, drink more." With that, Gu Huizhou bit her lip hard and lowered her head to feed Yao Ruyi.
"Ugh—" That's enough, really enough.
A white light enveloped her entire body, and Yao Ruyi did not look as haggard as before. However, this was only an appearance. Her arm materialized, covered with whip marks that made the flesh and blood indistinct.
"Die! All of you, die!" Not far away, Xiao Zhuyue was still clinging to life. He stared at the two of them like a madman. They should all die! Why weren't they dead yet!
Gu Huizhou longed to pierce Xiao Zhuyue's heart with his sword again, but he couldn't; he changed his mind.
He wanted to see what Xiao Zhuyue wanted most fall into someone else's hands, and he wanted to make him wish he were dead!
With a gloomy expression as if looking at a dead man, Gu Huizhou drew his longsword and took out a bottle of medicine. He carefully sprinkled the medicine on the wounds on the person in front of him, his voice as gentle as water, "Yao Ruyi, I will take you home."
"Okay, I'll go home with you."
It felt like a dagger pierced his heart; Gu Huizhou didn't even dare to pick her up. "Yao Ruyi."
"I can do it myself." Yao Ruyi forced a smile and mustered all his strength to climb onto Gu Huizhou.
Thirteen darted out of the tent and took Xiao Zhuyue away. Gu Huizhou stepped out of the camp. With Xiao Zhuyue captured, the remaining few deputy generals were insignificant. Han Jiqing had already led his troops in.
With a dashing gesture planted on the land of Xiao Kingdom, Han Jiqing roared, "Xiao Kingdom villains! Defeated opponents! Xiao Zhuyue has been captured! You all must surrender at once!"
"Surrender immediately!"
"Surrender immediately!"
"Surrender immediately!"
In an instant, everyone in the Yun Kingdom, from generals to common soldiers, was shouting the same words: They! They have finally won!
"We...we won!"
"We won! Finally! We won!"
