Chapter 336.
When these words were spoken, the entire imperial study was plunged into a kind of absolute silence.
Number Two sat in his seat, only feeling a cold wind blowing up on his body.
When he threw his eyes onto the Barbarian Emperor, he saw a ruthlessness and determination on the Barbarian Emperor’s face that stood out.
How could Number Two have never imagined that the Barbarian Emperor would use this technique to get them to descend?
This was an extremely terrifying thing even in his original world.
They were advocating shielding their feelings, making all feelings disappear into nothingness, and ultimately allowing themselves to reach the point where they had no breakthroughs and wouldn’t be burdened by their feelings.
But even for a half-machine, half-human creature like them, they still couldn’t do something as ruthless as the Barbarian Emperor.
To kill one another is an extremely horrible thing, let alone an emperor who kills his people alive.
This practice was extremely cruel and inhumane.
But Number Two thought about it, what did this have to do with them?
They just needed to descend, other than that, nothing else mattered.
This wasn’t their world, they couldn’t care less.
Thinking about this, Number Two clapped his hands and praised the Barbarian Emperor.
“Not bad, since ancient times, those who have achieved great things do not bother about small things, if Your Majesty can have this kind of mentality, we will definitely win this battle.”
The Barbarian Emperor’s clenched fists slightly loosened, then he stood up and came to the window, pulling out a secret letter from his sleeve.
In this courtyard, a black silhouette appeared, eventually transforming into the appearance of a black-robed man, with his head lowered and bent over, standing respectfully outside the window.
The Barbarian Emperor threw the secret letter in his hand over, and said in an indifferent tone, “Give this letter to the Grass Cultivation Venerable Master, and say that you will follow this letter up to do so, and that I have already made up my mind.”
The black-robed man nodded and disappeared with the secret letter.
When this black-robed man disappeared, the Barbarian Emperor smoothly closed the window and came to sit down on the seat, the whole person acting a bit disheveled.
Even if the people of this country of theirs were people who didn’t take human life seriously, but to lay hands on the people of one’s own country, one would ultimately feel a sense of cruelty and powerlessness.
But there was no way, the Barbarian Emperor wanted to live, he wanted to win, he could only do this.
“I can’t help it, don’t blame me, all of this, it’s all caused by the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom.”
The Barbarian Emperor eyed the tea on the table and said in a low voice, “If you guys want to blame, go blame those guys, even if you die, I will avenge you all in the future, I will build a hero’s mound for you.”
Tonight’s night carried a hint of blood.
When Master Grass Cultivator received the secret letter, he silently began to execute it.
A layer of dark clouds enveloped the entire Barbarian Kingdom.
The sounds of screams and bloodshed, as well as the sickening smell of blood, were constantly swirling around the Barbarian Kingdom.
Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Today, it was the time to depart for the Barbarian Kingdom, Zhou An got up early, and took Black Jade with him, and walked out of the room, arriving at the location of the city gates.
At this moment, there was already a sea of people outside the city gates, and a large number of troops, had long been assembled.
And outside the city gates, Eunuch Wei and the others, were also waiting.
After Zhou An arrived, he looked around and did not find the figures of Yu Hang and Ye Frost and asked.
“Yu Hang and the others, aren’t they going along?”
This was a big event, and all the experts that could be mobilized had to be mobilized.
After all, these things in the Barbarian Kingdom were about the future pattern, and they had to be wiped out in one breath.
Eunuch Wei shook his head, “Ever since that incident with Yu Hang, he has been cultivating even harder, wanting to reach the Absolute Enlightenment, or even the Heavenly Ascension realm as soon as possible.”
“Ye Frost did the same after hearing what happened to Yu Hang, they won’t be going for a while either, but it doesn’t matter much, it’s just that one or two people are missing.”
At that time, Yu Hang was kidnapped and used to threaten Zhou An, and was later saved by Zhou An, and after Yu Hang awakened, he kept this matter on his mind.
In Yu Hang’s thoughts, he had once again become a liability, and even after reaching the All Saints Realm, he was still dragging Old Zhou’s feet.
Being a brother could not be like this.
So he was now cultivating more and more seriously.
After Ye Frost heard about it, he was similarly of the same mind, and both of them began to close their doors as well.
Zhou An nodded and didn’t say anything else.
This trip seemed to be a sure thing, but in the end, there was still a need to be careful.
It was also a good thing that the two of them weren’t following.
After a few people chatted for a while, with Eunuch Wei’s order, the army started off and headed towards the Barbarian Kingdom’s location.
This was a very rare time for Zhou An to go on a long-distance trip.
The last time he went out of town, it was during the Guile Hunt.
And this time, it would be going farther.
As the crowd walked towards the Barbarian Kingdom, the scenery around them, too, was producing changes.
The original dense forest was gone, turning into a bare one.
The land was barren and desolate, and at a glance, one would feel a sense of barrenness.
This was the place where the Barbarian Kingdom had fled.
When it was initially besieged by three countries, the Barbarian Kingdom could only take this path, and the limitations of the barren land also allowed the Barbarian Kingdom to maintain its weakest form and survive.
If it wasn’t for the situation at that time, where it was not possible to make a long drive, the Barbarian Kingdom would have been completely annihilated by the three countries at that time.
In fact, in Zhou An’s opinion, the situation at that time was quite normal.
The Barbarian Kingdom even played a balancing role.
After all, when the three countries had a common enemy, that enemy allowing him to exist was equivalent to a period of stabilization.
And now that the Great Qi State was destroyed, this stabilization period was no longer needed.
Zhou An and Eunuch Wei were riding side by side, surrounded by the Far West King and other experts of the Peak Ascension Realm.
The crowd didn’t say anything, they just hurried along in silence, and the army advanced.
The further they traveled towards the Barbarian Kingdom’s location, the more desolate it became.
Along the way, the crowd didn’t talk either, instead, Zhou An asked if there was any recent information about the Barbarian Kingdom.
Eunuch Wei shook his head, “There’s nothing going on, the Barbarian Kingdom seems to have sealed off the perimeter lately, even our scouts, who have gathered intelligence cannot send it out.”
Zhou An nodded, “They are the birds of prey nowadays, sealing off the perimeter is normal, after all, even the slightest crisis would lead them into a boundless desperation.”
The Far West King came over next to him, “When the Barbarian Kingdom is resolved, we’ll have to consider those people from other worlds, I’ve heard that the comatose fellow we found at that time seems to have signs of awakening.”
Comatose fellow?
Hearing these words, Zhou An thought about them in his mind and then realized who it was.
Not long ago, finding a soul-locked person, that guy had seen something extremely terrifying and was dressed not from this world.
At that time, Zhou An had caught the Divine Woman through fishing, and the Divine Woman was now being healed, and looking at the situation, there should be progress.
The State Master nodded and said, “It may not be more than a month before this matter is resolved, and that person should also return to normal, so let’s learn more about it in detail at that time.”
Talking about this topic, the crowd came to be interested, and you talked about it as they walked.
And as the crowd talked, they were getting closer and closer to the Barbarian Kingdom.
This journey, day and night, was not stopped in any way.
As a matter of fact, no one dared to stop them either, because any one of these people present was an extremely terrifying existence, capable of prying the entire Jianghu.
Whoever dared to block the way here was simply looking for death.
In this way, the crowd hurried on for some more time.
Not far ahead, the outline of the city gates gradually emerged in front of Zhou An.
To talk about this architectural style, the Barbarian Kingdom’s architectural style was completely different from the other three major countries, they were more inclined towards some primitive styles.
Just by looking at it, it would give people an extremely primitive sense of oppression.
“Something’s not right.”
Zhou An looked at the relatively ancient city in front of him, but his brows furrowed, “Why is there a faint smell of blood here?”
It was not just them, even Eunuch Wei and the others had already smelled it.
To say that everyone here, that had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, everyone’s perception of the smell of blood was the most obvious, and with just a light sniff, they could smell the abnormality.
“Go in and take a look.”
Eunuch Wei took the lead and walked towards this border city.
Zhou An also did not nag, and followed behind, entering the gates of this city.
Upon walking in, Zhou An looked back and forth, his frown deepening.
Even if the Barbarian Kingdom was in a border land and was relatively remote, at least a city would have people in it.
However, at this moment, this border fortress, there was not a single person, an empty piece, looking extremely desolate.
Even the villages of the Great Chu Kingdom were much more prosperous than the scenery here.
“This condition, there is definitely an abnormality.”
Zhou An walked back and forth while pondering in his heart.
His Eye of Chaos gradually spread out, taking in everything around him.
It did not take long for Zhou An to discover the abnormality.
He came to a corner of a wall and carefully looked around.
At the corner of the wall, there were undried blood stains, and on top of the corner, there was also a faint smell of blood, but there was no blood residue, proving that someone had cleaned it.
However, since this part of the corner of the wall was relatively hidden, it was ignored.
As Zhou An was inspecting, Eunuch Wei and the others all came closer, carefully surveying the blood stains at the corner of the wall.
A moment later, the Prime Minister stroked his beard with his hand and frowned lightly, “Here, it should have suffered an extremely grueling killing, even after being swept away, the smell of blood still remains, showing the number of deaths.”
Zhou An nodded and once again took a closer look, realizing that at every hidden corner, there were bloodstains that had not been scrubbed.
This was indirect proof that this city had been bloodied.
“What exactly happened?”
Zhou An looked around, “Logically speaking, there is no one other than us who can cause this kind of damage to the Barbarian Kingdom nowadays, could it be an otherworldly visitor?”
Although the Barbarian Kingdom was small, as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, this was not something that an ordinary jianghu strength could touch.
It was also the Great Chu Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom that could inflict a great deal of heavy damage on them, which was why Zhou An had this speculation.
Just as the crowd was pondering the reason, a general from the army that was scattered out, holding a four or five year old girl in his hands, flew in.
When the general arrived in front of Zhou An, he immediately said respectfully, “My lords, the last general found this little girl in the middle of a kiln.”
They had all scattered out to look for it just now, and now there was only such a clue.
Zhou An looked at the little girl and realized that there was no difference between the little girl’s dress and the people of the Barbarian Kingdom.
The little girl’s eyes revealed a color of hatred, and even if she was only four or five years old, she was able to feel the ferocious look on this little girl.
This was formed by the Barbarian Country’s long-standing folkways, which reminded Zhou An of a certain country in his previous life, where even a child would carry a gun and go around killing innocent lives.
Zhou An paused, looked straight at the little girl and smiled slightly, but the murderous aura on his body showed a hint of his true colors.
The vicious little girl was so excited by Zhou An’s killing aura that she immediately revealed a color of fear and trembled all over.
Zhou An faintly said, “Tell me what happened here.”
The little barbarian girl trembled, no longer having the ferocious look she had a moment ago, “You beasts, if it wasn’t for you, His Majesty wouldn’t have killed us, you all deserve to die, you pariahs!”
Even though she was shocked by Zhou An’s killing aura, the little girl still spat filth from her mouth.
At this moment, Zhou An suddenly understood why the Barbarian Kingdom must be overthrown.
Eunuch Wei glanced at her indifferently, “Let’s lock her up first and have a few people send her back to the Great Chu Kingdom.”
At this time, the crowd actually had a guess in their hearts.
None of the people here were stupid, and prior to this, they had already learned that there were things about the otherworldly world.
So connecting with each other, they had already come up with an answer.
The State Master sighed, “I didn’t expect that guy to be so ruthless, slaughtering even his own country’s people in order to let people in.”
The Chief Secretary gripped the Cold Ice Fiery Flame Gun in his hand tightly, his tone was serious: “You’re talking about ruthlessness with an executioner, a brute that drinks blood? He is no longer ruthless, but inhuman.”
“The previous emperor at the time did not reach such a point of extinction either.”
When the Great Abundance Kingdom was in a desperate situation, what it killed was only the people in the line of duty, and it did not take action against the ordinary people.
And now the Barbarian Emperor, however, did not hesitate to take action against the people, which was enough to see the ruthlessness of the Barbarian Emperor.
The King of the Far West nodded, “That’s why the Barbarian Kingdom can’t stay, if they are allowed to dominate the world, I’m afraid that this world, will instantly turn into a hell of bloodshed.”
The crowd did not say any more.
Now, having obtained an important piece of information, although it was unclear to them how many otherworldly experts would come in from the other side, but now the arrow was already on the string and had to be sent.
Therefore, they did not stop and continued to rush towards the capital of the Barbarian Kingdom.
On this journey, Zhou An was considered to have had his eyes opened.
He hadn’t thought that there were such ruthless people in this world.
Zhou An was also a ruthless person, he was ruthless to himself and equally ruthless to his enemies, but he could not be ruthless to his own people.
The Barbarian Emperor was different.
On this journey, as long as the cities were seen, everywhere was an empty, hell-like landscape.
The bloodstains were cleaned in the beginning, but by the end, no one even bothered to clean them.
A city was covered in blood and piled up with corpses.
Bones were piled up and mosquitoes were everywhere.
The rotting flesh and cruel bloody wounds were like a shockwave that was hitting the crowd.
War was brutal, and people would die.
But facing the corpses of the enemy directly, if it was on the battlefield that would be fine, but here it made people feel an indescribable feeling.
After traveling all the way, the capital of the Barbarian Kingdom was getting closer and closer.
When Zhou An and the others finally arrived at the Barbarian Kingdom’s capital, they saw that what greeted them was a large silver color.
On each and every one of the Barbarian Kingdom’s generals, they were wearing silver armor, which flashed with a heart-stoppingly cold light under the sunlight.
Their faces were stony, and they were arranged in squares as if they had been waiting for a long time.
And on top of the city wall of this national capital, the two of them, the Barbarian Emperor and the Grass Cultivation Master, stood at the very front.
Behind them, there were six people with silver-colored bodies.
The aura emanating from these six silver-colored bodies was that of the Peak Heavenly Ascension Realm.
When the two sides looked at each other, Eunuch Wei was the first to speak.
“Old dog, for the sake of not dying, you have truly become the traitor of the entire world, if future generations knew about it, I’m afraid that your ancestors, all of them, would be cursed!”
When the Barbarian Kingdom Emperor heard this, he then shook his head and said, “I just want to live, you guys have to force me towards death, then I have no other way, so I might as well let this world, give me a burial together.”
Saying that, the barbarian emperor’s line of sight, shifted to the group of silver bodies around him.
“I’ll introduce you all, this is number two, number three, number four, number five, number six, and number seven.”
“They are all helpers that I have found from another world at great cost, each of them has the strength of the Peak Ascension Realm, and together with me, there are nine in total.”
“Today is a duel, I feel that only one side, at least, will be able to get out alive, your two emperors, I’m afraid that you can’t travel long distances today, so let’s see if you live, or I live.”
The two emperors, Emperor Yunqi and Emperor Xingwu, must now sit in the palace.
Now, even though the Great Qi Kingdom had been destroyed, if even they came out, I’m afraid that a fire at the back would cause even more repercussions.
The other side added up to eight people, while the Barbarian Emperor counted two, making a total of nine.
On their side, there were only seven peak Ascension Realm experts, but if they counted Shang An, they could only count eight, and Eunuch Wei counted one and a half.
Nine against eight and a half, it looked like a battle where they were vulnerable.
However, Zhou An frowned after hearing this.
He always felt that there was something wrong.
Because if it was him, under such an evenly matched scene, there wasn’t going to be an introduction like this.
If it was really an introduction, then there was only one thing that could happen, and that was to make the enemy careless.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Eunuch Wei counted as one and a half, with an extra half.
While Zhou An was thinking like this, Number Two, who had been standing next to him, suddenly cast his eyes onto Zhou An, his tone extremely grim.
“Zhou An, do you still remember me?”
Zhou An turned his head and looked up and down, then said in a teasing tone, “Who do I think it is? Just a defeated general under his command.”
After these words were uttered, Number Two, who had originally spoken in a grim tone, suddenly became extremely angry.
“Good, you’re good, to try and provoke me at this point in time.”
“I originally wanted to let you die a painful death, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
“Painful or not, is it something you can say in a single sentence?””
Zhou An shook his head, “What you should consider now is whether you can die a painful death?”
The Barbarian Emperor similarly bet his eyes on Zhou An, with a few emotions in his eyes, “I did not expect that in my life, I would lose in your hands, it is simply unimaginable, a nobody, in a short period of time, can grow to this point, the Great Chu Kingdom is really repairing the blessings of eight lifetimes.”
“But today, you will have to die here as well, I was originally a person who cherished talent, but seeing as you are loyal to the Great Chu Kingdom, then I will only have to kill you.”
Zhou An lifted his right hand’s long black blade, and between gentle flicks, it made a crisp ringing sound, “Cut the crap, let’s start the fight straight away.”
Now the harsh words between the two sides, are also put more or less, Zhou An also have to first this side of the things settled, go back to liver proficiency, can not have time to waste here.
As for just now thinking, the other side should have a backhanded thing, first fight and then say.
These days, who doesn’t have a backhand?
On his side, there was still a Trick Set that hadn’t come out yet.
He didn’t intend to summon the Guile Rally out right now, but rather intended to use it again at a critical time.
As Zhou An uttered these words, silence was maintained between the two sides, and their mutual auras, constantly rushing against each other, carried an aura of solemnity that stirred the white clouds in the sky into nothingness.
Don’t know who moved a step first, this step, became the final point of attention in the whole battlefield.
Subsequently, the armies of both sides, first of all, rushed together.
Shouting and killing sounds, the sounds of various weapons colliding, in between this battlefield, constantly intertwined.
The gruesome blood and flying flesh and blood made the battlefield categorized as a kind of primitive tragedy.
“We’ll come first and take your head for a while.”
Without any nonsense, Eunuch Wei took a step forward, and immediately afterward, carrying a roiling Yin Qi, he flew towards the top of the city gates.
Everyone moved, including the Barbarian Kingdom’s side.
“Old thief Wei, your opponent is me.”
The Barbarian Kingdom’s Emperor was the first to strike, carrying a sky full of national fortune as he flew towards Eunuch Wei.
Everyone, looking for their own opponent.
And in front of Zhou An, stood Number Two, who was wrapped in silver.
With a cold, icy gaze, Number Two gazed at Zhou An, the corners of his mouth rising slightly, “Zhou An, at that time, I was only able to send out one strike, but it’s different now.”
As Number Two uttered these words, his five senses were wrapped in a silver-colored liquid, turning into a smoothness.
Immediately after, silver light blossomed in Number Two’s hands, and under the radiance, even the light of the sun was covered.
Zhou An lifted the long black sword, and the forty-meter tall Holy Spirit Evil Demon Body emerged.
He let go of his hand and let Black Jade charge into the military formation below, allowing Black Jade to charge inside on its own.
He, on the other hand, executed the Demonic Shadow of a Thousand Shadows and darted closer towards number two.
The rays of the ebony-blue blade blossomed with the light of death.
Zhou An’s mouth was tinged with a smile, “Can you bring me the excitement that my aunt had back then?”
The two top experts, at this moment, began a battle of life and death.
