Suddenly, there were thunder and lightning, heavy rain, and the water on the ground in Hangu Pass was turbulent. Due to geographical reasons, it looked like white waves in the cloudy sky.
Amidst the violent storm, the sky outside the pass was filled with mist, and the rain curtain blocked the view. After Bai Qi's generals resigned from Zhuge Liang, he led his soldiers in batches and ran wildly in two directions to the southeast.
As the horse trampled by, water splashed on the ground, ripples formed, and connected with the mist in the void.
The rumble of horse hoofbeats gradually disappeared, and the troops of Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Ran Min, and Li Jing were swallowed up by the heavy rain and disappeared from the sight of everyone in the military camp.
at this time.
Outside Hangu Pass, on the plateau to the southwest, a group of cavalry were covered in darkness in the rain and fog. They stood reining in their horses and looked towards the direction of Hangu Pass.
"Mr. Xi, there were killing cries in the valley last night. At dawn, the scouts came to report. The passes are now covered with the flags of the Chu army. The Northern Wei Empire no longer exists. I'm sorry that I can't help."
"Now the troubled times have begun, the war is spreading, and our Japanese Empire is still in a critical situation, so the army must return immediately. If you are willing, sir, you can accompany our army. My emperor is well aware of your abilities and will definitely entrust you with important tasks."
"No, General I'm here!"
"My roots are in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Now that everything has disappeared, it is time for me to go back and take a look."
Xi Zhicai looked lost and melancholy, and with a low voice, he bowed and saluted the general of the Japanese Empire.
"Take care of each one, sir!"
"withdraw!"
The Japanese army quietly withdrew, and only Xi Zhicai was left on the plateau. He suddenly knelt down, looked up to the sky and roared, saying: "Your Majesty, the humble minister is incompetent. It is the humble minister who betrayed your majesty's trust and allowed the Northern Wei Dynasty to be defeated at Hangu Pass.
.”
"I have no face to face His Majesty, so I can only die to apologize!"
The heavy rain kept falling on Xi Zhicai. At this time, he was disheartened and demoralized. He blamed himself deeply in his heart. He knelt on the ground. It was not clear whether the tears or rain falling on his cheeks were tears.
However.
On the solitary peak of Juejian to the east of Hangu Pass, three figures flashed out from the rain and fog, and the water splashes on the ground under their feet moved with the figures.
The three of them stood still, one of them was holding a long sword in his hand, and his figure was surrounded by a thick black mist. The other two were surrounded by golden light, and the figure of the other one seemed to be transparent, blending with the rain.
On the solitary peak of Juejian, a stone wall stood tall, and four scolding Fang Qiu appeared in the sight of the three of them, typing like flowing fluids.
"Thousand-foot Cloud Cliff!"
"The two of them are really persistent and have been chasing each other all night. This thousand-foot cloud cliff will be their final destination!"
"On the thousand-foot cloud cliff, white lotuses bloom on the fairy rock, lingering at the top of the mountain. The scenery is better than Penglai. The two of you can be considered blessed to die in such a fairyland!"
Cao Cao held the three-foot green-edged sword in his hand and decided the life or death of Emperor Chu and Sun Ce in just a few words. The nightlong chase left Cao Cao puzzled. No matter how he changed his route, he could not escape the pursuit of the two men. He couldn't help but
It is suspected that the two of them planted something to track him.
"Cao Cao, you have been a hero for a lifetime. Now that things have come to this, don't you still want to admit that you have been completely defeated?"
"In the battle of Ruzhou City, millions of troops were defeated and fled. Last night, Chu soldiers captured Hangu Pass without any effort. Now the entire Northern Wei Empire is under the control of the Chu army. You are at the end of your rope and are struggling to your death. I can only let you
Death is even more painful!"
"This is a blessed place on earth, infinitely beautiful, like a paradise, a fairyland and a secret land. Being buried here is the best destination!"
Emperor Chu raised his halberd, and water droplets flew out from the halberd's edge, floating in the void like an elf. A cold voice sounded, and the two of them stepped on the water and approached Cao Cao.
"Haha~"
"defeat!"
"I am indeed defeated!"
"But everything is not over yet. Isn't it a little too early to decide now? I have lost the land of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but so what?"
"If I kill you two on Thousand-foot Cloud Cliff, not only can I get back everything I lost, but Chu and Soochow will also fall into my hands!"
Cao Cao laughed loudly, and the rainwater slipped from his blue hair. With a ticking sound, the water column fell on the sword and split into two, splashing out on both sides.
"crazy?"
Emperor Chu looked at Cao Cao's crazy, ferocious and terrifying appearance, and wondered whether Cao Cao was crazy.
"Emperor Chu, Sun Ce, accept death!"
"There are only two of you on Thousand-foot Cloud Cliff, but I have millions of demon soldiers. Let's see how you can resist!"
"boom!"
Cao Cao's figure soared into the sky, and vast demonic energy was released. The heavy rain all around stopped at this moment, and suddenly dark clouds were seen over the thousand-foot cloud cliff. The power of thunder roared, and the top of the cliff suddenly became pitch black, as if night had fallen.
If it weren't for the golden light shining from Sun Ce's body, the two of them would have been completely swallowed up by endless darkness.
"The demon disintegrated, summoned millions of demon soldiers, and appeared!"
In the darkness, Cao Cao's eyes were red, and three thousand blue hairs flew up wildly. There were sinister roars all around, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the dark mist in the void condensed into a shadow holding a sharp blade, roaring and charging at Emperor Chu and Sun Ce.
"Whoa!"
Emperor Chu raised his hand and unsheathed the Tai'a sword. Thousands of sword lights lingered on his figure, resisting the attack of the phantom. With a thought, he turned on the system and started scanning.
"Hey, the system prompts that the host is currently in the realm of the demon body. It is 100% attacked and can cause 60% damage!"
"Demon body realm?"
"Hey, the system prompts that those who have reached the peak of the Martial Master Realm will have their own domain. The host only needs to defeat Cao Cao himself, and the domain will be self-defeating and instantly wiped out."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu activated the Taixu Sword Spirit in his body and did not release the Taixu Sword for a long time. He wondered whether the power of the Taixu Sword would also increase as his cultivation level increased.
"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"
"Fan Ji!"
Emperor Chu's figure moved with the sword, releasing his newly comprehended magical power Fen Ji. One man and one sword were as fast as meteors, breaking through the shackles of thousands of demon soldiers and striking directly at the end of endless darkness, because Emperor Chu knew that Cao Cao's true body was hiding at the edge of darkness.
.
Sun Ce looked at Emperor Chu's retreating figure in astonishment, holding the Overlord Spear in his hand, and murmured to himself: "Even if I am a golden warrior, the gap between me and him is still thousands of miles away. Emperor Chu is destined to be extraordinary and will become the most powerful warrior in the sky."
A strong presence.”
"call out!"
The ancient sword of Taixu and the figure of Emperor Chu were like flying arrows, flying out of the endless darkness. A scream spread, and the darkness in the surrounding sky disappeared. Cao Cao's figure was seen flying backwards, and the purple and gold magic armor on his body was torn apart.
"puff!"
The column of blood in Cao Cao's mouth surged wildly. The moment the darkness disappeared, the rain from the void fell again. The red blood and rain merged together and fell on the stone wall of the Thousand-foot Cloud Cliff with the wind.
"Emperor Chu, the true dragon's body is indeed powerful, and it actually broke through my demonic body's domain. Now that I have been defeated, you can't even think of taking my life!"
As Cao Cao spoke, he suddenly laughed wildly, turned around, holding the Heavenly Sword in his hand, and jumped off the thousand-foot cloud cliff, his figure disappearing into the misty clouds. (To be continued)
