Chapter 1031 - Persuade to Surrender (Part 2) (2/2)
“Leaf, listen to me. Don’t go to war against her.”
“Hahahaha,” a low and deep laughter rang out from Ye Ran’s mouth, and he stood up slowly, completely relaxing his two-meter-tall body. Each of his muscles seemed to contain destructive powers, and his thick hand grabbed onto the long pole arm like he was grabbing onto a huge dragon that kept on moving.
When his long pole arm cut across the air, streams of Disha Qis extended out from the 72 acupuncture points around his body, producing a demonic purple color when it came into contact with the air.
The surrounding ground slowly shattered from his series of movements, and many small pieces of rock floated in midair due to the impact from the essential Qi.
“Brother, as the top militant working under Foster Father, I received orders from Foster Father to lead the Abyss Tiger and Steel Formation armies and station ourselves at this Divine Martial Pass, not taking a step in retreat.” Ye Ran’s eyes narrowed slowly, and the Disha Qis coming from him grew increasingly intense.
Even with Fang Wangshu’s level of martial arts, he felt his hair stand up on end. The deputy generals seemed to be even more unable to withstand the waves of gushing Disha Qis and were forced to back off.
Right now, Ye Ran was like a human-shaped beast. Each inch of the skin on his body was emitting an astonishing pressure.
“You want me to surrender to these 1,000 people without fighting a single battle?” Ye Ran said, gritting his teeth. “Then how am I going to face Foster Father from now on? How will I lead my men to conquer battlefields?”
Fang Wangshu fell silent. In the end, he could only say, “If you fight against her, you’ll die.”
“I don’t believe that.” Ye Ran swung his long pole arm and pointed to the imperial court’s army that was situated 1,000 meters away. “Brother, the ones taking control over the Divine Capital are from the Demon Sect’s Illusory Emotions Path.
“That person you called Miss Ma has a 99% chance of being the Illusory Emotions Path’s Zhao Yinglan.
“Moving across space? As fast as light? How can there be a Tiangang Realm expert like you mentioned? The only possibility is that you have been hit by that demonic Zhao’s Art of Heavenly Emotions.”
The Art of Heavenly Emotions was a well-known technique from the Illusory Emotions Path. Back then, Fu Daoxian had also thought of using the Art of Heavenly Emotions to deal with the young Emperor.
This martial technique could plant a seed of love in the enemy’s heart and cause them to be affected by the user’s every expression and action, eventually becoming a complete slave to them.
Ye Ran felt that this was the most reasonable explanation. It was also the only explanation.
“Ye Ran!” Fang Wangshu’s essential Qi seethed, and all 45 of his acupuncture points trembled. His entire body tensed up. “You’re going to kill all of your subordinates!”
However, just as he was about to make a move, a huge dragon had already pressed down on his body with a deafening roar.
Boom! The houses near the city walls exploded into dust. The long pole arm that was like a huge dragon pushed down on Fang Wangshu’s right shoulder, pressing him down onto the ground.
Seething powers continued to extend out, only coming to a stop after they clashed with the army’s Qi field. This was why the Divine Martial Pass’ city walls were not smashed.
“Brother, don’t force me to kill you for attempting to affect our army’s morale.”
Ye Ran’s gaze which was like that of a ferocious beast encompassed Fang Wangshu’s body, and seething Disha Qis gushed forth. They were so condensed that it was as if they had materialized.
Fang Wangshu circulated his essential Qi and wanted to get back up to his feet. “Stop it, Ye Ran. You don’t understand…”
“The one who doesn’t understand is you.” Ye Ran held onto the pole arm with one hand and pressed down all of Fang Wangshu’s resistance. “Foster Father wishes to unify the world and bring prosperity to the people of the Great Jin Dynasty. I’m the person who is going to support him to that throne.
“Any wastrel who attempts to stop this will be killed by me personally! Even you won’t be an exception.”
Rumble! Terrifying powers surged out from that long pole arm, and seething currents gushed out in all directions from where the two of them were. All the surrounding generals and soldiers kept on being pushed back like there was a force 20 typhoon.
The pressure caused Fang Wangshu to tremble all over. He was unable to even stand up, let alone put up any resistance.
Fang Wangshu wanted to say more, but at the next moment, a hint of grief flashed in his eyes.
“It’s too late.”
Ye Ran frowned and turned to look toward the sky.
It was unknown when it had started, but streams of golden light had appeared in the sky, forming many hand imprints. All kinds of hand imprints scattered across the sky, releasing an extremely solemn atmosphere.
