zChapter 894 - Each More Shameless Than the Last! (1/2)

Bi Xiu coughed up some blood. Fortunately, his deputy general supported him from the side, which ensured that he did not fall from his camel.

With the sound of exploding heavenly lightning, Gu Shu’s army realized that it had been rash, and they all stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to advance. Some people hoped that the coalition army would act as cannon fodder, but when they turned around, they found that Jue Ping City was completely empty. Not a trace of a shadow of the coalition army could be seen. They could not help but begin silently cursing the ten small countries.

Gu Shu’s people no longer advanced, and Da Shun’s people did not push the issue. They just stood there while looking at them with smiles on their faces. It was as though they were teasing children. But the people of Gu Shu had already gotten over their rashness. After all, Da Shun’s strength was clear for all to see. Even if they were openly humiliating them, they did not dare do anything. All of the soldiers began to quietly think about how they could quietly run away. If the enemy suddenly threw another heavenly lightning at them, would they not all die?

Bi Xiu was surrounded by the soldiers and did not dare to poke his head out in the slightest. He understood clearly that, aside from heavenly lightning, the people of Da Shun had a type of hidden weapon that could accurately take the life of someone from a great distance. But they could not remain frozen in this position, thus he took a deep breath and shouted: “Xuan Tian Ming! If you have the ability, come out and fight this general! What sort of ability is there in bringing a group of people?”

Once these words came out, not to mention Da Shun’s soldiers, but even Gu Shu’s soldiers could not hold back their laughter. Fuck, this was a battle between armies! Did you yourself not bring an army of hundreds of thousands? Counting the numbers, you brought far more people than Da Shun. When two countries fought, could it be that it would be a one-on-one fight rather than a group fight? How much had the general drank to have this sort of brain fart?

Xuan Tian Ming also laughed, loudly saying: “Marmot, you are drunk, but this prince is not drunk. Instead of using the heavenly lightning that we have, this prince would fight you alone? Do you have nothing better to do?” After saying this, he did not give Gu Shu’s army any time to prepare and casually threw a grenade. With a “boom” another group Gu Shu’s soldiers became worthless.

Even without the ten-country coalition, Gu Shu itself had an army of 300 thousand, but through experiencing battles in Sha Ping and Jue Ping, their numbers had slowly been blown away. Not only had their fear of “heavenly lightning” not been reduced, but it had actually grown, especially with Feng Yu Heng having participated in this battle. Who knew if it was a result of Imperial Daughter Ji An’s mother and father passing away that caused her to be especially angry, but the black-ish thing that she held continued to emit a fiery light. It continued to shoot in a sweeping motion in the direction of Gu Shu’s side, and each sweep would cause people to die in a large area.

Gradually, the people of Gu Shu understood that this was not a fight between two armies. This was just Da Shun’s army slaughtering them one-sidedly! The people of Gu Shu did not continue to fight. In fear, they began crying for their mothers and fathers while holding their heads. They were no longer in any mind to pay attention to Bi Xiu, who had managed to sober up, and the orders that he was shouting out. Even the standard-bearers threw down their standards, as they covered their ears and desperately ran inside the city.

Bi Xiu’s eyes had turned red, but they had not turned red from killing. In truth, not a single hair on the people of Da Shun had been touched. They were still far away and just continued to throw an endless barrage of heavenly lightning. They also endlessly swept back and forth with their strange hidden weapons. Blood flowed from Gu Shu’s army like a river, as corpses piled up to form a mountain.

The deputy general tugged Bi Xiu’s sleeve: “General, let’s retreat! There’s no way of fighting this battle!”

At this time, Bi Xiu was completely sober. When he clearly saw the situation before him, it was as though the failure at Sha Ping City had repeated itself. He tightly closed his eyes. When he opened them once more, he finally gave the order to retreat!

With the general giving the order, the soldiers ran with even more haste. The sounds behind them shook the skies, and nobody knew if heavenly lightning might land on their heads. They just ran without any concern for anything else. Just running back inside the city was not enough. They had to continue running South. They ran out of the Southern gate, and it would be best if they could run all the way back to Yue Ping City. Like that, they could have some time to recover.

Bi Xiu returned to the city. When he passed by the red tent, he saw the girls desperately running outside, fearing that they would be struck down by the heavenly lightning if they were slow. In just this glance, his nerves were shaken. Among the girls fleeing for their lives, there seemed to be one that looked exactly like Da Shun’s Imperial Daughter Ji An. It was such that he nearly believed that his vision had become blurry.

“Who is that person?” He pointed at the girl and asked his deputy general, “Is that one of the girls in our red tents?”

The deputy general looked over and was also dazed for a while, subconsciously blurting out: “Da Shun’s imperial daughter?”

One of the soldiers that had overheard them replied: “That’s the new girl that we caught outside the city!”

“New girl that we caught?” Bi Xiu’s eyes lit up, as he quickly rushed over on his camel. Without saying an extra word, he bent down and placed the girl before himself.

The girl let out a loud scream then turned around in horror to say: “Who are you?”

Bi Xiu once again stared at that face and could not help but sigh in shock: “There’s actually someone that looks so similar in this world? Could it be that they are twins? Or could it be… one of Da Shun’s spies?” Once these words came out, a fierce look appeared in his eyes. The grasp around the girl’s waist also tightened, and the pain caused the girl to let out a shrill scream.

“General, could it be that this person really is one of Da Shun’s spies?” The deputy general looked at the girl darkly and pulled out his sword once more. He was just about to chop down with it!
