582: Chapter 110 Life Dao 582: Chapter 110 Life Dao “She…
died?”
Chu Guo stood stunned on the spot.
Images of Pingzhi City being breached echoed again and again in his mind.
The Sword Immortal who descended from the skies that day left an extremely deep impression on his Heart Lake.
If it weren’t for that female Sword Immortal’s rescue, he and Old Zheng might have perished in Pingzhi City…
The young man’s resolution to follow Xie Zhen in practicing swordsmanship also stemmed from this experience.
If he could master swordsmanship.
Then he too would devote himself to saving and aiding the world!
“Dead.
And she died a very tragic death.”
Chen Chong spoke indifferently: “Hook and Clamp Master under Nalan Xuance’s command, tore off her fingernails, gouged out her patellae, and plucked out her eyes…
These tortures were not yet over, it’s just a pity that her Divine Soul could no longer hold on and collapsed on its own.”
Chu Guo’s voice was hoarse: “Why?”
“This woman was named ‘Pelican’, a Hidden Guard spy of the Book Tower Sect sent to Li Kingdom.”
Chen Chong smiled and said, “She had been lurking in Li Kingdom for many years and should have continued to lie low.
However, when Pingzhi City fell into chaos, she stepped forward and chose to expose herself…
Such a decision was unwise.
Once the Hook and Clamp Master captured her, they naturally interrogated her thoroughly.
They wanted to know who was so important and valuable that she would sacrifice herself so resolutely…”
“Unexpectedly, the interesting part is yet to come.
No matter how the Hook and Clamp Master applied their methods, the interrogation yielded no answers.”
Chen Chong said meaningfully: “Young man, tell me, who exactly is this woman so staunchly protecting to the death?”
“…”
Chu Guo’s complexion was ashen.
He opened his lips but found himself unable to utter a word.
For whom?
This question, if asked twenty days ago, he would not have an answer for.
Chu Guo had never considered that the female Sword Immortal had appeared for the sole purpose of saving him.
But now, the answer seemed imminent.
“Book Tower really held a good card up its sleeve.”
Chen Chong leisurely stood up, brushing off the grass clippings from his body, and started speaking with a smile: “Some days ago, a Yin God at the Nineteen Realms from Fangyuan Square defected, and I thought…
there would be no more interesting twists from Book Tower.
It seems I underestimated Chen Jingxuan.
For your piece, he must have planned for at least ten years, perhaps even longer.”
“Great General.”
Du Yunzhong spoke respectfully to remind, “It’s getting late.”
“…Hmm.”
Chen Chong was about to speak.
Boom.
A thunderous sound came from the Heavenly Peak in the distance, the sound of thunder spreading far and wide, almost encompassing the skies for miles around.
“Thundering Dao Intent?”
Du Yunzhong looked up, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The clouds gathered at the peak like a tidal surge, and Green Thunder turned into countless little snakes, intermingling with the clouds.
This Green Thunder was very familiar to Du Yunzhong—
Was it not the Tao Realm power of the Great General?
As the leaders of Yuzi Camp and Camp Cang, serving as the left and right arms to Chen Chong’s command of the Yuanzhou Iron Cavalry, each had received a strand of Tao Realm power.
This strand of Tao Realm power was meant to be contemplated upon when breaking through to the Late Stage of Yin God.
“Is the ‘Thundering Dao Intent’ necessary to kill a Xie Zhen?”
Du Yunzhong frowned, puzzled.
Chen Chong, on the other hand, had a more somber look in his eyes, his smile receding.
“Yunzhong, go and cover for Kejian!”
His voice cold, he issued a military order: “I will follow shortly.”
“Great General?!”
Du Yunzhong’s eyes widened in shock.
Having followed Chen Chong for so many years, Du Yunzhong, though a straightforward warrior, had complete faith in him.
He knew well that Chen Chong was a genius in military strategy, his talent in moving troops was first-rate in the world.
In the early years during the northern campaigns into the Demon Domain, the Great General was scheming and tactful, forcing the Demon Race to retreat at every turn.
At this juncture, being asked to assist Meng Kejian—there was only one possibility…
the Great General was certain that Meng Kejian was no match for Xie Zhen!
And that wasn’t all.
What truly astonished Du Yunzhong was the Great General’s phrase “I will follow shortly.”
Could the Great General possibly believe…
That even after he joined the fray, the two Yin Gods combined would still be no match for that Xie Zhen?
“Hurry.”
Chen Chong’s expression was stone-faced as he spoke.
“Yes!” Without further hesitation, Du Yunzhong immediately set off, transforming into a long rainbow streaking towards where the Green Thunder was.
The sound of thunder and wind erupted within the hilltops, resounding throughout.
As Du Yunzhong left.
The sense of pressure on the small hilltop not only didn’t dissipate but became even heavier.
The slender figure clad in green robes might not exert any visual pressure.
Perhaps it was because Chen Chong no longer wore a smiling face at this moment.
Everyone felt as though a great mountain weighed upon their chests.
“Indeed, it’s getting late.”
Chen Chong indifferently shifted his gaze, no longer watching the young man mourning in front of the wooden stele…
Although the little fellow had an interesting story, his own purpose for being here was not with him.
“I’ll count to ten breaths.”
Chen Chong, with his hands behind his back, began to speak slowly: “After ten breaths, I will kill Mi Yun.”
These words were not directed at anyone in particular.
The sound of his voice was loud, echoing as it landed.
The entire hilltop echoed with Chen Chong’s words.
“???”
Ten breaths later, kill Mi Yun?
Hearing this, Deng Baiyi’s pupils shrank, and her first reaction was to flee.
But Chen Chong was close at hand.
Let alone that Deng Baiyi’s current realm was still low, even if she had indeed become an Array Master, there was no chance she could escape from the hand of the Lord of the Three States Iron Cavalry in single combat.
Sssh!
Deng Baiyi turned only to encounter an invisible barrier.
This barrier, forged from both Primordial Power and Divine Thought, was incredibly hard.
Upon touching it, it even emitted dazzling electric arcs that shook Deng Baiyi to numbness, causing her to lose control and topple to the ground.
She held onto Mi Yun tightly, not letting go.
“Ten.”
Yet Chen Chong did not seem intent on moving forward to seize her; he simply looked toward the end of the hill and began to count down.
