Qu Shanhua's body was bathed in divine light, and she stood under the stars and moon.
The endless night sky seemed to become her long cloak, and countless upward gazes offered her a crown of respect.
Zhongshan We-sun was a shadowy figure in the dimness of the military tent.
The most militarily talented young general in Jing country was publicly recognized as Murong Longji, the adopted son of the Red Horse Guard Great General. The most cultivation talented young prodigy in Jing country was, in the eyes of those who saw him, Huang Sheri.
That path through the Yellow River gathering of thirty-nine and nineteen years, where prodigies stood side by side on the outer grounds, people still remembered a "and Kui name" Yan Deyi.
What kind of person was this person called "Zhongshan We-sun"?
He was a genius, but not absolutely top-tier. He was strong, but hadn't reached the limit.
He was someone always lacking a breath, but didn't know where this breath was short.
Tonight he looked up at Qu Shanhua.
He was one of those looking up.
He was among the myriad beings at the foot of the mountain, and now he wanted to reach the mountain top.
Wearing splendid clothes, adorned with beautiful jade, adjusting his crown and walking earnestly, gentle and refined, he was Zhongshan We-sun.
Stepping out became dirty, scolding heaven and earth, hated by people and ghosts, he was Zhao Tiezhu.
He was a mountain climber, and he also wanted to be a mountain top god.
In his eyes, a spark of fire was born.
Like a candle flame, a single bean of light in the boundless long night.
It leaped slightly from the earth, and in an instant surged turbulently, spreading and shining as a red flame bird.
As if the sun leaped from continuous mountain shadows, changing the long night into daylight!
The Vermilion Bird raised the sky and rose, soaring in the vast sky.
And in the boundless night color, behind the huge red flame bird, suddenly leaped out a profound armor figure with fire patterns.
Divine ability, South Ming Li Fire!
Zhongshan secret transmission, Perform Soldiers Slaughter Demons Armor!
Endless soldier evil condensed into armor leaves, piled up into the fierceness of Zhongshan We-sun, which had not been shown to people for a long time. He stepped on the Vermilion Bird flying in the vast night sky, and leaped up again, like a Sky Wolf shooting the moon, like a cold arrow leaving the string.
So fast that the distance was almost nonexistent, and time decayed meaning.
He leaped high, and his fist at this instant swallowed light and devoured shadows, gathering all visible things within people's vision into the steel-like fist—
Boom boom boom!
Mountain shadows shook, and the earth rang with muffled thunder.
This fist changed the form of mountains and rivers, reversed heaven and earth, with extreme momentum and extreme intent, it was Zhongshan We-sun's extreme path fist!
His armored figure was like a god and like a demon, and the Vermilion Bird he stepped upon, though it sank slightly, immediately counter-rushed to the high sky. Its flame wings spread out a sea of fire, and its flame tail flew into a long rainbow!
The sky was all dyed with red glow.
At least at this instant, people could almost not see Qu Shanhua. Zhongshan We-sun's extreme burning, in this night's thick ink and heavy color.
But in the next moment, people's vision returned.
Different from imagination, regarding Zhongshan We-sun's extremely splendid scene, it did not flash past, but solidified, fixed in the air!
As if it became eternal.
It became a beautiful painting.
With the night sky as the canvas, with the South Ming Li Fire as the initial brushstroke, dyeing on soldier evil pigment.
And all the muffled thunder-like sounds, the co-vibrations of heaven and earth, were all still.
They were not wiped away, but fixed and stopped at the instant of explosion—
The end of this grand painting scroll was Qu Shanhua opening five fingers, pressing her hand down from afar.
Absolute peak divine ability, Close Heaven!
In front of Qu Shanhua, space could be more fragile than glass, or sturdy enough to surpass everything in the world. If without her permission, void could not exist, and an inch could not reach the horizon!
Her opened five fingers were the most authoritative definition of "space".
She had no intention of holding back.
Great Chu destroying South Dou, giving South Dou Hall enough time to save itself, giving various forces in the world time to intervene, was precisely to display the power of the South Domain overlord.
She, Qu Shanhua, was precisely Chu country's powerful one!
How could she battle Zhongshan We-sun for several hundred rounds and win with difficulty?
She not only wanted to win, but also to win decisively, to win without dispute.
The Vermilion Bird spread and danced, Zhongshan We-sun swung his fist, and then... there was no "then". Regarding everything about Zhongshan We-sun, it all solidified within this space.
He should have had a very wonderful confrontation process, climbing the peak in this process and sublimating himself.
But Qu Shanhua did not give him the opportunity, making a move that was a win-lose hand.
The collision of two kinds of power made that piece of space and its surroundings have a relatively clear difference. The solidified space was like a huge crystal, displaying Zhongshan We-sun's battle posture within it.
Below was the red flame Vermilion Bird with wings spread about to fly, and above was the evil Zhongshan We-sun wrapped in soldier armor.
What a scene!
In that boiling, flame wave-like soldier evil, one could see the black shiny armor leaves.
Under the helmet curved with Ox Demon horns, were Zhongshan We-sun's cold eyes.
Everything about him was solidified, but his eyes still had a spark of fire—
Of course he was not willing to be just like this, still.
Thunder roared within his bones.
The night sky was lit up once again, by the stars of the star river.
One by one, the stars lit up, lighting up in the due south. Countless stars connected their light, and in the ancient star dome, they released light, weaving together into the shape of a Vermilion Bird!
The Vermilion Bird star domain of the ancient star dome responded to Zhongshan We-sun's summon!
From the ancient sages who explored the Four Spirits star domains, each transmitted their way, anchored in the ancient, for ten thousand ages since, those who set up star light sacred towers in the Four Spirits star domains were countless.
As an ancient star domain with the deepest "ties" to the present world, the response it could give to the present world also far surpassed others!
In this completely solidified state, Zhongshan We-sun gave up the possibility of breaking through from outside to inside. He was very clear that remotely controlled power was not enough to shake Qu Shanhua. He chose to break through from inside to outside, risking death to seek truth, forcibly impacting the limit!
The Vermilion Bird, solidified in the air, fixed like a sculpture, at this time, its eyes lit up with spiritual light. That was endless terrifying star power, responding and coming from the ancient star dome, that was the provision Zhongshan We-sun prepared for himself for the ascension step.
His black armor, like cracked rock, revealed a red color surging like magma beneath it, thread by thread of red flame, floating like ribbons—he was shaking this piece of space with pure power.
Tonight, Zhongshan We-sun's will was heavy as mountains, firm as steel.
And Qu Shanhua, only gave a cold overlook—"In my front, strong prove Cave True?"
Initially, Chen Suan, in front of Jiang Wang, carrying the life and death pressure brought by the Tai Xu Pavilion members, strong proved Cave True.
Jiang Wang let him break through.
It was because Jiang Wang wanted to do the East Heavenly Master a favor, and Jiang Wang had the confidence to kill him with one sword even after Chen Suan strong proved Cave True.
Today's Zhongshan We-sun, his accumulation was not as much as Chen Suan's, his preparation was not as much as Chen Suan's, rashly impacting Cave True was a nine deaths, one life situation.
This courage, though praiseworthy.
But today's Qu Shanhua, what reason was there to give Zhongshan We-sun the opportunity?
Previously unknown, afterwards not met.
Since Zhongshan We-sun didn't really want to contend for the first place in God Lin Realm, didn't plan to honestly contend at the God Lin Realm level, and wanted to seek the power of the upper realm... then, there was no need to continue.
Qu Shanhua hovered in the high sky, her right hand open with five fingers, pressing down from afar—within that whole huge block of space below, was Zhongshan We-sun, who wanted to win God Lin Realm with Cave True. This was this person's every effort displayed in tonight's battle.
Her five fingers closed.
Thus ended.
This huge, square, crystal-like space, was also like a crystal and was crushed!
Everything within this piece of space also collapsed, disintegrated, and shattered into flying dust along with it.
Including the Vermilion Bird manifested by the South Ming Li Fire, including the Perform Soldiers Slaughter Demons Armor, including the person under the armor...
From a distant place, echoing distant, muffled booming sounds.
And the bright moon above also poured through a green rainbow!
People saw in horror—
From the distant north all the way here, spacetime elemental power confused everything, piercing out a clear human-shaped hole.
And in the center of that breaking space, appeared an old man wearing ferocious demon armor. He grasped the shattered armor and collapsed evil Zhongshan We-sun, and also grasped and fixed this piece of broken space.
Almost at the same time, the stars and moon completely darkened, and an extremely suppressed sword, poured down from the moon.
This sword was not magnificent, but it seemed to bring the sinking of the entire world.
One sword pressed the cloud sky wanting to fall low!
The old man wearing ferocious demon armor blocked the sword with his palm, and then lightly pushed, pushing back the one sword world-suppressing Jiang Wang: "Young friend, do not be alarmed, I have no hostile intent!"
The comer, Zhongshan Yanwen!
Zhongshan Yanwen in armor was completely different from his usual image as that little old man.
At this time, he was extremely domineering and majestic, raising his hand and moving his foot with the momentum of tearing the sky and cracking the earth.
But what truly shocked Jiang Wang was that the power he manifested had already surpassed Cave True above!
Jiang Wang lifted his sword horizontally, blocking in front of Qu Shanhua, and was just about to speak—
A mountain-like fist probed out of the void, pressing towards Zhongshan Yanwen with one fist.
"Security Duke! Listen to me!"
Zhongshan Yanwen explained as he continuously pushed and unloaded, continuously opposing palms, yet was still bombarded out of this piece of space, bombarded towards the distant mountains, and bombarded into the mountain body!
The Evil Face Army, from top to bottom, all covered their faces with evil masks. As the commander, Wu Zhaochang, was no exception. He wore a ferocious bronze ghost face and Duke's war armor.
After bombarding Zhongshan Yanwen to the distant mountains with one fist, he stepped out of the void and coldly said: "When the young lose, the old come, endless—can't die?!"
"Security Duke, calm your anger!" Zhongshan Yanwen flew back carrying Zhongshan We-sun, and said apologetically: "I only have this one grandson, he really cannot die. Please give me some face and be lenient!"
Wu Zhaochang lifted his armored hand and pointed at him carrying Zhongshan We-sun: "This boy has been continuously harassing outside the military camp, this commander did not speak, giving you face; this boy challenged the left road general of the讨伐 army at the military camp, this commander took it as a laugh, giving you face; now you said it was a life and death struggle, and you actually came to intervene! What is the meaning? Make this commander's left road general put down the army to accompany your family play? How much face do you, Zhongshan Yanwen, have that you want this commander to give again and again?"
"Security Duke, I am truly sorry!" Zhongshan Yanwen bowed neatly: "Truly sorry, this old man is—"
Zhongshan We-sun, carried by him, struggled violently, extremely ashamed, his face and ears red, and he angrily shouted: "Grandfather, you don't need to apologize! Men of the Zhongshan family can afford to lose, I am willing to die—"
Zhongshan Yanwen directly smashed him to the ground with a fist! "Zhongshan We-sun, this life is now something you owe me, you have no qualification to die!"
Zhongshan We-sun lay on the ground, curled up, covering his blood-red eyes with both hands, tears surging from between his fingers: "Sorry! It's my fault! For me! For me..."
To save him, Zhongshan We-sun, to be able to speak in Chu country, Zhongshan Yanwen stepped into Derived Dao ahead of time!
A top-level real person like Zhongshan Yanwen, who sought the absolute peak, could not be taken lightly. He was on the road to overlook the absolute peak.
Now he was not yet perfect, not yet reached his ideal limit, just stepping out this step ahead of time. This also meant that in the competition with Huang Fu, Lou Yue, Huyan Jingxuan and others, he actively withdrew from the competition.
This contemporary famous general who established the eight thousand li monument at the frontier of the real person limit, was already destined to have no fate with transcendence!
That's why Zhongshan We-sun was so sad.
He let go of everything for friendship, violating the interests of the Yingyang Mansion. He thought his grandfather didn't care about him, even giving up on him, but the fact was that Zhongshan Yanwen gave up the possibility of becoming stronger for him.
How could he not regret?
"The old man is not dead yet, it's not your turn to cry mourning!" Zhongshan Yanwen scolded: "Get up and stand straight!"
Zhongshan We-sun was injured in body and mind, unable to control his pain, but he still instinctively propped himself up and stood.
Zhongshan Yanwen then turned his head to look at Wu Zhaochang, his face full of smiles: "Security Duke, ten thousand wrongs are my fault, I did not teach strictly and raised this boy to be so disobedient. But after all, he is my only grandson, and I cannot let him just die like this—"
If he hadn't come today, Zhongshan We-sun would have undoubtedly died. If he hadn't strong proved Derived Dao today, Wu Zhaochang wouldn't even have given him the opportunity to speak... Since he did these things today, he would let Zhongshan We-sun know how people of the Zhongshan family should act.
He looked at Qu Shanhua again: "Young General Qu, We-sun lost this battle. His small life should originally be at your disposal, but this old man's private heart is too heavy, and I have to ask you for a favor—he lost your wager, I will let him turn around three times, and with this slightly compensate for the time you wasted, what do you think?"
As Yingyang Guard Great General, Zhongshan Yanwen's position in Jing country, which had a military court as its system, was comparable to that of a prince. He was already a world-renowned strong person, and today he came north with the extraordinary and absolute peak posture of ascending the top, and he could speak in a low and humble voice to the Security Duke, and beg Qu Shanhua with good words...
Who could not be moved?
Qu Shanhua originally just wanted to vent some anger for Jiang big brother. Seeing Zhongshan We-sun wanting to strong prove Cave True, she planned to kill him, but now meeting Zhongshan Yanwen this way, she couldn't get angry either.
"There were originally no frictions between Chu country and Jing country, and I and Zhongshan We-sun were strangers and had no grievances." Qu Shanhua said lightly: "Your prestige is known throughout the world. Since you have opened your mouth, this battle ends here."
"Then thank you, Young General Qu, for your understanding!" Zhongshan Yanwen thanked her with a smile, then looked at Jiang Wang beside him, sighed, and cupped his hands: "Cabinet Member Jiang, this grandson of mine is really not up to par. I apologize to you on his behalf—"
Jiang Wang turned his body to the side, not wanting to receive the bow: "Old General, what are you saying? World affairs are nothing more than each having their own fate, each having their own choices. Matters between the younger generation, how do they involve you? My respect for you will not change in the slightest."
"Ai! Ai..." Zhongshan Yanwen lowered his head and glanced at the boy on the ground, hating that he couldn't give him another kick, but also knowing that if he hit him again, he would really hit him dead.
He didn't immediately carry Zhongshan We-sun away, but looked at Wu Zhaochang again: "Security Duke, my family is unfortunate, there is really no way. Can I beg for a favor again?"
Wu Zhaochang was not angry, only looking at him with some complexity: "Is it worth it?"
Is it worth it?
The world-famous Zhongshan Yanwen doing this.
Is it worth it?
The Yingyang Guard Great General actually did not regard the interests of the Yingyang Mansion as important.
A young person like Zhongshan We-sun, with momentary impulse and surging hot blood, was still excusable. But for what did Zhongshan Yanwen, such a political creature and military master, come?
"Ai!" Zhongshan Yanwen sighed deeply, then said: "Someone like Long Boji, letting him live has no influence on your country. But he carries Zhongshan We-sun's path, he is Zhongshan We-sun's friend. If you say whether it is worth it or not, it is definitely not worth it. What kind of bird thing is he that he deserves for me, Zhongshan Yanwen, to pay? But whether it is worth it or not, we have come. In life, this is not the only thing that is not worth it that this old man has done."
He cupped his hands to Wu Zhaochang and said seriously: "Consider this matter, I, Zhongshan Yanwen, owe your Chu country a favor."
"Grandfather!" Zhongshan We-sun on the ground looked up in astonishment, Zhongshan Yanwen sending out such a solemn favor, this was too heavy! "This matter, I—"
"Shut up!" Zhongshan Yanwen glared at him fiercely: "The things you knelt on the ground and begged me for, I am now helping you do. You have no qualification to stop now, and even less qualification to regret. I want you to remember clearly, this is the choice you made. I want you to understand from now on, as an adult man, what your every decision exactly means!"
