No one expected Tuoba Dada to be defeated so quickly, catching everyone off guard, especially the Xiliang soldiers, whose eyes held even more complex emotions!
Embarrassment, shame, utter disgrace...
On the contrary, the soldiers of the New Tang Dynasty, after the initial shock, immediately realized that their crown prince had won, and immediately imitated the soldiers of Xiliang, raising their weapons and shouting...
Tuoba Dada, who hadn't even landed yet, was even more embarrassed, his lifelong reputation ruined just like that...
Moreover, it was ruined by a useless crown prince. How could he bear this?
Unable to face his own soldiers, Tuoba Dada closed his eyes before even landing. In this situation, nothing was more appropriate than falling into a coma…
"General Dada, you flatter me..."
Li Zhu spoke politely, but those words were like a knife, piercing the hearts of every Xiliang soldier…
The more arrogant they were just now, the more painful the slap in the face they've received. This proves Li Zhu's words: the best way to shut up an enemy is to defeat them…
"Uncle, are you alright?"
Naza asked with concern!
Lying on the ground, Tuoba Dada thought to himself, "So you still care about me? Why didn't you tell me sooner that Li Zhu was so powerful?"
But there's no going back now; you have to walk the path you chose, even if you cry...
"Nazha, General Dada is alright. He's probably just too embarrassed to face his own warriors..."
Li Zhu exposed Tuoba Dada's feigned unconsciousness...
"Cough cough..."
Tuoba Dada coughed twice, as if he had just woken up, and even pretended to catch his breath a few times before speaking.
"What's wrong with me? Has my old problem of suddenly fainting flared up again...?"
Hearing Tuoba Dada's shameless words, everyone's lips twitched, thinking to themselves, "So you know how to save face..."
"Uncle, I'm so glad you're alright. I told you not to fight him, but you wouldn't listen..."
Naza complained that she was only trying to help him and had tried to persuade him for so long, but he thought she was speaking up for Li Zhu, which hurt her deeply…
Tuoba Dada blushed. Although he hadn't been seriously injured by that attack, it was still incredibly embarrassing, which was why he used this method to cover up his awkwardness. He hadn't expected Nazha to expose his secret like this, leaving him utterly humiliated...
"General Dada is truly a brave and skilled warrior; I admire him greatly..."
Just then, Li Zhu walked up to him and spoke politely. However, this time no one dared to underestimate Li Zhu. Even Tuoba Dada himself was intimidated by Li Zhu's strength and dared not speak to Li Zhu as he had before!
"Ahem... You flatter me..."
Tuoba Dada knew that Li Zhu was giving him a way out. He had already lost so much face, so why wouldn't he accept this opportunity?
"General Dada, I wonder if I have the right to lecture you now?"
Li Zhu continued to look at him and asked!
Tuoba Dada rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "If I dare to say no now, will you beat me up again?"
"Your Highness, you said..."
Tuoba Dada could only grit his teeth and reply, "This time, I've truly lost face completely..."
"Can you see these bones scattered all over the ground?"
Following the direction Li Zhu pointed, Tuoba Dada finally saw the scene before him: the ground was littered with bones, numbering perhaps tens of thousands. And this was only what was visible; there were many more hidden from view…
"This...this is..."
Although Tuoba Dada had some suspicions, he couldn't believe it!
“These are all people from Wengcheng. Just now, Wengcheng was fraught with danger. There was a strange power that could make people fall into hallucinations. If we hadn’t dealt with this power in time, you can imagine what would have happened, right?”
Upon hearing Li Zhu's words, Tuoba Dada felt a chill run down his spine. If what Li Zhu said was true, then his reckless actions would put everyone in danger, and they might even all die here...
If he had heard Li Zhu's words before getting beaten up, he would definitely have scoffed. So what if it's invisible power? If a useless crown prince can handle it, he can handle it too. He would have had a ridiculous thought in his heart that "if you can do it, so can I."
But now he has no such thoughts at all. Even a powerful expert like Li Zhu is so wary of that strange power, which shows that this power is indeed difficult to resist!
"Your Highness, I was indeed reckless this time..."
Tuoba Dada was a man who could take things in stride; he immediately admitted his mistake. He had already lost face, and he couldn't let himself be looked down upon in terms of his character…
Li Zhu didn't intend to pursue the matter further; he simply wanted the other party to know the consequences he had almost caused. Moreover, the other party no longer called him a useless crown prince, which was already a positive change…
"Let everyone bury the people here..."
Li Zhu gave the order, and not only did the soldiers of the New Tang Dynasty obey, but even the soldiers of Xiliang respectfully accepted it. This world, in essence, is still about might makes right, and since his fist is the biggest, he has the final say…
As Li Zhu stared at the rows of skeletons, his heart pounded with turmoil. He wondered who had prepared this altar, and even if it was all for him, the person who could commit such a heinous act deserved to die…
This city is no longer suitable for habitation. After what happened, it's terrifying to live in. With no other choice, the group continued their journey and set up camp on an open area by the river before sunset...
night!
Bored, Li Zhu went out of the camp to clear his head. To make things easier, he didn't wear clothes with identification markings, otherwise everyone's attention would be on him, and his walk wouldn't be enjoyable...
The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks…
A gentle evening breeze brought a refreshing feeling, and Li Zhu couldn't help but stretch. This was a rare moment of peace...
Remembering a game he used to play as a child in his previous life, Li Zhu picked up a small stone and threw it into the water. He was actually bored and started skipping stones!
The stone looked like a water sprite, transforming into a straight line, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped on the opposite bank…
"Wow! I never expected to break a world record by accident. I'm so awesome..."
Li Zhu couldn't help but mutter to herself, feeling proud of herself. But she forgot that she seemed to have used internal energy, which was considered cheating. Moreover, she was probably the first person to use internal energy to skip stones...
"Pfft..."
Hearing the laughter, Li Zhu couldn't help but turn around and saw that Yuwen Yingying had appeared behind him at some point...
"Waaah, what are you laughing at?"
"Brother Zhuzhu, you're so narcissistic..."
These words made Li Zhu scratch his head somewhat embarrassed. After all, it was a little awkward to have someone overhear him talking to himself...
