Chapter 345: 191, 192. How can Cang Mountain reveal its true nature? Recognizing each other, returning home (seeking subscriptions)
Within the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits, Cold Pavilion Valley.
The remaining thousand-plus soldiers of Dashang were dying incessantly, desperately resisting the soldiers of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits.
And in the center of the battlefield...
The man in Mysterious Flower Armor watched quietly as the grand general of the Shang Dynasty was frantically praying.
Years of travel and warfare had etched firmness and resolve onto the face of Song An, who was now in his thirties...
At the age of thirty, one should stand firm.
But Song An had already experienced joy and sorrow, parting and reunion, and had seen too much death. People who have encountered death often fall into one of two extremes: one is extremely afraid of death, while the other becomes indifferent to life, whether it’s their own or someone else’s.
Song An belonged to the latter.
He was not afraid to die.
But he was not resigned.
If he had to die, he at least wanted to ensure that his elder sister could escape, right?
A few puffs of hot wind blew from afar, the scorching sun making the scalp sizzle; Song An put down the scroll of Emperor Monarch Xuanwu.
"Have you given up?" The man in Mysterious Flower Armor shook his head slightly, showing a hint of disappointment. He had still wanted to see how the "deity" of Dashang would differ from that of the Melting Fire Empire.
"Then let’s finish this quickly."
The man in Mysterious Flower Armor said with little interest, having come just as a last resort and not really intending to make an appearance.
After all, nobody expected that in the beginning, all twenty-three Great Prayer Masters would die here, and he had watched how it unfolded very clearly: apart from the few who were crushed to death by Song An through military might on the frontline, the rest were slain by that woman named Ting, using a most peculiar method.
He was there to capture Ting.
Ting harbored secrets.
The emperor had intended to obtain these secrets through marriage.
Alas, it was clear that Ting was not among the options for marriage.
So, after repelling the Melting Fire Empire, the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits immediately took action and launched a surprise attack without warning; yet, even so, the casualties were heavy.
This made the man in Mysterious Flower Armor become deeply interested in Ting.
At this moment, his expression was solemn as he raised his hand, silently uttered a chant, and let out a breath that turned into a forceful wind. As it swept past a group of Armored Warriors to his left, they were struck by a bone-chilling cold and lost all their strength. Then their vision darkened, and their lives were extinguished...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Armored Warriors collapsed.
Song An grabbed his sword and glanced at his elder sister, not far away.
Ting was an ordinary person; in such a battlefield, if not protected, she would be directly obliterated by the shockwaves, but even with protection, she was far from alright at this moment. She looked as pale as gold foil, with feeble breath.
At thirty, Ting had shed the mischief of her childhood, the rebelliousness of her youth, and now she seemed mature and intelligent. She did have some of Miss An’s grace, only... compared to Miss An’s ruthless nature, she leaned more towards loyalty.
Even at that moment, she was looking at the bloodied Bladeswoman in armor who was protecting her.
"Yuan Yuan, run, flee to Dashang, tell my father, he will have a way..."
Ding Yuan just shook her head.
Amidst her messy hair, her eyes were bloodshot. She cast a glance towards the nearby area... There lay many corpses, but she could no longer distinguish who was who. Feng and Zhang Ling had all died there.
A tear glistened, and her expression met Song An’s from far away where he stood, sword in hand.
The understanding between warriors was suddenly established through their looks.
Ding Yuan was saying, ’I’ll go first, I will draw his attention with my life.’
Song An responded, ’All right.’
They both suddenly moved.
"Big sister, goodbye..." With a forceful stomp, the earth shook, and dust flew. A sword-wielding Phantom Shadow, over ten feet tall, suddenly appeared. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Song An followed half a beat later, but his movements were just as decisive. He practiced the family’s secret Cultivation Technique, "Xuanwu True Qi," a technique so difficult to master that he could not have succeeded without his father’s direct guidance and his mother’s daily preparation of medicinal concoctions.
Yet, even so, Xuanwu True Qi was far superior to any Common Technique. A Phantom Shadow, twenty feet tall, erupted explosively and caught up from behind.
"No..."
"No!!" Ting’s eyes reddened as she flung her arms towards the distance, weakly clutching at thin air.
Nobody understood the horrors of this world better than she did. The things she had seen with her father, the things she had seen on her own... they all made her realize that the powerful forces at play were not something that could be countered by the petty tricks of those below.
"No... no... no..."
She had no other words left.
Tears streamed down her face.
Her heart ached as if it were being sliced by knives, but she was powerless to do anything.
The man in Mysterious Flower Armor watched the two Phantom Shadows and couldn’t help but curl his lips into a wry smile. Without moving, he casually flicked his wrist, producing a breeze like the Divine Soul Dispelling Breath from earlier, all while being careful not to affect Ting in the distance, as he intended to capture her alive.
Being endowed with mysterious powers worth investigating, and also a great beauty—how could he bear to hurt such a woman?
The next moment, he suddenly felt something was amiss. Without even looking up, his body uncontrollably soared upwards.
"What..."
The man in Mysterious Flower Armor instinctively flailed his wrists and looked towards the source of the pull, only to see a mountain formed of dust appearing indistinctly inside Cold Pavilion Valley.
In Cold Pavilion Valley, within Cold Pavilion Mountain, the highest peak was called Sword Pointing Peak, a magnificent mountain shrouded in mist, reaching six or seven hundred feet tall. However... the mountain that had suddenly emerged was much taller than Sword Pointing Peak.
"This..."
"What is this!!!"
The man in Mysterious Flower Armor’s pupils dilated as, even though he was caught mid-flight, his mind raced to process the impossible scene before him...
In his peripheral vision, he saw that many soldiers of the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits were also being lifted into the air, swept up like dust in a gust, soaring skyward.
