Chapter 2 - A Treacherous Man (2/2)

Thud~!

All the soldiers knelt down as well when they saw him doing so.

“My dear brothers, I, Mu Tian, owe you all an apology. It’s my fault that all of us were deceived by a treacherous man. It’s my fault that I led you to your deaths.”

“General~”

“From the day we decided to become Mu soldiers, we vowed to defend our homelands and follow you to our deaths. Even if our dead bodies aren’t found, we have no regrets!”

“Even if our dead bodies aren’t found, we have no regrets!”

Thousands of soldiers burst into tears and shouted together.

“Haha, good, you’re all my brothers indeed! You all are the best soldiers and Wudo cultivators that I’ve ever met. It’s my honour to be your general and fight alongside with you all. In my next life, we will still be brothers! No regrets!”

Just as he finished his sentence, Mu Tian stood up, picked up his spear, and shouted loudly: “The Mu army!”

“Yes!”

“Attack!”

Mu Tian then charged forward with his spear towards the tens of thousands of enemies. The remaining 1,000 soldiers also charged at their enemy.

They were like moths flying into hell’s flames. They chose to die fighting and had no regrets at all.

In the meanwhile, up on the walls of Jiu Quan city, many soldiers teared up when they saw the scene and gripped their weapons tighter.

However, Nan Hao let out a cold smile when he saw this.

“Well, well, Mu Tian, you’ve led yourself to your own death. Don’t blame me for it…”

In the end, the entire Mu army was wiped out outside of Jiu Quan city and Mu Tian’s body was stabbed by the sword of the general who persuaded him previously.

“Mu Tian, I respect only a few people in this world, and you are one of them.”

This enemy general muttered to himself as he pulled out his weapon. The body of Mu Tian fell into his hands.

Only at this moment did the backup army who had been waiting in a valley behind Jiu Quan city receive orders to provide their support.

The backup army had been there for a long time. However, they followed Nan Hao’s orders to stay put in the valley until the entire Mu army was wiped out.

The enemy retreated as soon as the backup army charged into the battlefield. Even the body of Mu Tian was taken away by the enemy’s general.

The body of a young man lied still among the mountain of corpses. His heart was pierced by an arrow and his body was gradually getting colder.

However, suddenly, the heart-shaped sanguine jade pendant on his chest transformed into a sanguine light and flew into his heart. The young man’s heart then started to heal.

During the process of healing, his heart emitted a dim sanguine light, and after a while, it started to beat slowly. A powerful energy rampaged around the nine Meta-pulses inside the young man’s body, greatly damaging them. The energy was very powerful and was as red as blood.

“Look, there’s somebody alive over here!”

“I-Isn’t he Mu Feng, the son of General Mu?”

“Yes, it’s Mu Feng indeed. Quick, let’s hide him somewhere first. The Royal Highness would never let him live if he knew that he’s still alive. General Mu was such a loyal man and he was the person whom I respected the most. I can’t possibly let his son die after he was set-up and killed.”

These soldiers who had a good conscience then carried Mu Feng away. They snuck into the Nan Ling kingdom and went to the Mu family…
