Chapter 144: Great victory, two generations of Qin kings
It was nearly dusk.
Monster market!
The continuous palace buildings are magnificent.
The majestic main hall is supported by twelve huge white columns.
Standing in the hall and looking up, the flickering mana lines on the dome above are as vast as the starry sky.
In the center of the hall, next to the clear water of Kyushu, there are more than ten great demons such as the Demon Lord in green robes, yellow and white skirts, the gorgeous Li Ji, etc. standing around.
After the demon lord awakened the fox in his three bodies, demon kings gradually woke up from their slumber deep in the demon ruins.
Li Ji, the Demon Lord's demon power has also been slowly increasing recently.
Even the power of the clear water of Kyushu seems to be growing, and the reflected image is far clearer than before.
The scene reflected in the pool is exactly the scene of hundreds of thousands of people fighting fiercely in front of Yougu Pass.
"The five countries worked together and were still defeated by the Qin people. What a waste."
Li Ji was obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the five kingdoms, and whispered: "After this battle, the momentum of the Qin people will no longer be suppressed."
"The five countries are full of contradictions and barely managed to get together. It's not surprising that they failed."
A demon king with a bare upper body, black feather patterns appearing on his shoulders, a tall figure, and a faint green light hidden deep in his pupils.
At this time, the scene reflected in the green pool suddenly became brighter.
On the battlefield in front of Yougu Pass, Wang Jian's whole body's strength steamed, and he and tens of thousands of soldiers under his command joined forces to form a military formation. Suddenly, a hundred-foot-long black bird totem appeared in the sky, with the light of mana flowing.
The real black bird also flapped its wings and flew over, slowly overlapping with the totem.
Wang Jian, who is in the realm of military saints, the totem formed by the combined efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers, and the real black bird, the three powers are combined.
Xuanniao seemed to have briefly entered another, more powerful level, with black flames emerging all over his body.
call!
It flapped its wings, and balls of flame fell from the sky.
All the noisy sounds in the entire battlefield became quiet.
Clusters of black fireballs fell to the ground, and the retreating coalition forces of Zhao, Wei, and Chu were all covered by the flames.
Some soldiers hurriedly gathered their strength and formed a military formation to defend themselves, but they were burned through in an instant, and countless soldiers were swallowed up by the black flames.
In front of the Yougu Pass, flames raged within a few hundred feet.
This blow, like a natural disaster, completely defeated the last remaining confidence and cohesion of the coalition forces.
Demon ruins.
Many demon kings stared at the scene in the green pool, with uncontrollable horror on their faces.
The Demon Lord frowned and said, "While the Five Kingdoms are attacking Qin, has my Demon Clan's arrangement ever been as expected?"
Li Ji: "The Qin army on the western front to defend our demon clan has never been transferred. We have no chance to invade Qin. However, due to the Five Kingdoms attacking Qin on the eastern front, there are many loopholes in the border."
The Demon Lord said: "What we are planning is for the entire Middle-earth, and we don't have to always focus on the Qin people.
The people of Qin are very well-prepared, so we might as well start with other countries and make more arrangements."
Li Ji hummed: "The Demon Lord also said so."

Jicheng.
boom!
When Xia Xinghe blocked the attack of the young man in gray robe, he was suddenly attacked by another person from the flank and hit in the waist and ribs.
He turned around suddenly and shouted violently, his voice like thunder.
The attacker was caught by his voice and reacted a little slowly before being punched out by Xia Xin. The void covered by the fist tightened, as if it had become sticky. The attacker was unable to dodge and was immediately hit in the face.
His face collapsed and he fell to the ground dead.
Xia Xin was about to continue fighting with the gray-robed young man when he heard a soft sound in his ears.
A bell rang from nowhere.
When the bell hit his ears, Xia Xin's eyes went dark and he had a splitting headache.
The young man in gray robe seized the opportunity and kicked Xia Xin between the legs with a fierce kick.
boom!
In the severe pain, Xia Xin got rid of the state of being shocked by the bell. He tightened his legs and clamped the young man's feet tightly. His forehead suddenly hit the gray-robed young man's face like a hammer.
superior.
His right hand flew out and hit the gray-robed young man's throat.
when!
At the moment of life and death, the bell rings again.
When Xia Xin's offensive slowed down, the young man in gray robe seized the opportunity, waved his hand like a knife, and stabbed him in the chest.
Not far away, Ji Ying and others also swayed under the sound of the bell, bleeding from seven holes, and fell to the ground one after another.
At this moment, a long roar came from the distance, and a figure approached at an incredible speed. In an instant, it landed next to Xia Xin. It was Ye Yu's deputy Shi Baiyao.
His figure was erratic, and he shot one after another, killing all the people brought by the gray-robed young man in an instant.
And there was a faint green light flashing in the distance.
It was an ancient bronze bell, piercing the sky and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Click!
The young man in gray robe was taken aback by the appearance of the white medicine. Xia Xin, whose chest was stained with blood, took advantage of the situation and strangled his throat, using both hands to break his neck.
Baiyao quickly chased in the direction where the ancient clock disappeared. After a while, he returned again, shaking his head slightly. It was obvious that he had not found the person who used the ancient clock.
"Deputy Shi Bai, why are you here suddenly?" Xia Xin asked.
Baiyao glanced at the spot between his legs where he was kicked, and said angrily: "If I don't come out, you will be kicked to pieces.
How are you?"
Xia Xin bared his teeth and felt his injuries, which seemed not to be good, and muttered: "I can't die anyway."
Then he said: "The deputy historian also discovered that someone is ambushing my Ye Yufu people in Jicheng this time, and came over to investigate?"
"Well, spies installed by the government have been missing in Ji Cheng one after another. Fan Qingzhou and I both realized there was a problem and had some guesses about who was hiding in the dark, so I came here in person.
It's a pity that you came out halfway to disrupt the situation, and the person in the dark forced me out before he showed up." Baiyao said angrily.
"The deputy history officer already knows who is hiding in the dark and plotting against us?" Xia Xin said.
Baiyao tilted his head and did not respond to Xia Xin. He looked in the direction where the ancient clock disappeared and thought: Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng... This person doesn't know what he is planning, and he always hides it.
"The Chu army is coming. This is not the place to talk. Leave first and then talk."
Baiyao swayed slightly and left first.
Xia Xin quickly went to check on the fallen subordinates. Ji Ying stood up unsteadily and prepared to leave.

Yougu Pass.
The coalition forces were defeated and retreated all the way.
After that, although Pang Nuan tried to stabilize his position and organize counterattacks several times, he was unsuccessful.
Wang Jian specifically targeted Zhao Guo and pursued him to the death.
Meng Ao led his army to pursue the other four countries.
In the next few days, the coalition forces fled all the way, each suffering losses.
Among them, the Zhao army was pursued all the way and suffered the heaviest losses.
While the Qin army was still chasing deserters from all directions, Xianyang, the center of the Qin Dynasty,
Zhao Huaizhong was processing the memorials sent from various places. King Zhuang Xiang, accompanied by his chamberlain, walked in from the door.
"Why do you have time to come here, father?" Zhao Huaizhong stood up to greet him.
King Zhuang Xiang smiled and said: "We, the Qin Dynasty, defeated the combined armies of the five countries. This is a great victory.
My father was very happy when he found out, so he came to talk to my son.
The Five Kingdoms came together to attack, but Meng Ao was defeated before and was chased all the way to Yougu Pass. Looking back now, could it be that he was pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy?"
The sunset shines in the evening, and the breeze outside the window is gentle.
Zhao Huaizhong invited King Zhuang Xiang to take a seat and said: "The situation at that time was that Meng Ao was really defeated.
There is no shortage of people who know how to fight in the five countries, and Pang Nuan is a famous general. If it is a fake defeat, how could he not see it?"
"It's just that although Meng Ao was really defeated, we did not put in all our efforts. Wang Jian's troops were elites drawn from the Xianyang Forbidden Army and did not participate in the war. They were just to cooperate with the battle of Yougu Pass for counterattack."
For more than a year, the Ministry of Materials and Construction has always regarded the production of secret armor and weapons as its top priority.
With the full support of Zhao Huaizhong, in more than a year, more than 10,000 secret weapons and armors were obtained to equip the Qin army.
That was the battle of Yougu Pass, when more than 10,000 black-armored tribesmen rushed out.
They were wearing secret armor and holding weapons. After they appeared, they almost swept away the elite coalition forces, including the Zhao army.
Coupled with the attack by Wang Jian's troops, the chaotic defeat of the coalition forces was further accelerated.
Zhao Huaizhong gave a brief explanation, and King Zhuang Xiang thought for a while and said: "Since we had spare power before, why did we have to go to Yougu Pass to start the counterattack, in order to lure the enemy deeper?"
"Well, if we had fought with all our strength earlier, we would not have had the effect of severely damaging the Five Nations Allied Forces at this time..."
Another reason is that the timing of the counterattack must be coordinated with the Qi people's attack on Wei to achieve the best result.
King Zhuang Xiang asked again: "What are you going to do next?"
Zhao Huaizhong said matter-of-factly: "Of course we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it to gain the greatest results.
I summoned the ministers to come over and discuss the follow-up pursuit, and my father will know as soon as he hears it."
While they were talking, the three princes and nine ministers, headed by Lu Buwei, entered the palace one after another and performed rituals to the two generations of Qin kings respectively.
