0405. The Strongest One

Everyone in the world laughs like a moth flying into a flame, bringing about his own death.

But who knows that a moth has never seen the light in its life. When it feels even the slightest warmth, it will rush forward and embrace the light regardless of its own safety, even if the light will incinerate their bodies.

They know that means death.

However, they also know what the world does not know, that is, the flames will burn their bodies, but they can also purify their souls.

In darkness, yearning for light.

Even though he died nine times, he never regretted it.

These are regarded as inferior creatures, criminals and slaves by the Tiance Army's death battle camp, as well as some old sects who survived by hiding in the deep mountains and forests. It is this moth, hiding in the dark purgatory, After seeing Prince Dayue rising up, he caught a glimpse of the glimmer of light and defected to him without any regrets, even if his final fate was destruction.

Yu Hualong suppressed the injuries in his body and looked calm.

In his palm, he held a jade secret.

This was the message that Li Mu left for him when he left Longcheng Pass. Li Mu had said that as long as this jade secret was activated, he would come to help the battle as soon as possible, even if it was thousands of mountains and rivers.

Yu Hualong has been hesitating these days whether to activate this jade secret.

This was not because he was worried about Li Muyan and was unfaithful.

But they are weighing whether Li Mu is really here and can turn the tide of the war around.

He had already fought once with Emperor Qin Ming.

To be more precise, he took a move from Emperor Qin Ming.

Defeated in one move.

The power of Emperor Qin Ming was really terrifying.

Back then, Yu Hualong followed his master Li Bai and others through the path of immortality, so he also understood some realms and powers that the martial arts masters in this world did not understand. Emperor Qin Ming's move already contained a vague A scent that is not of this world.

Yu Hualong did not expect that Emperor Qin Ming would be so horrified after he came out of seclusion for a period of sixty years.

With such power, in his opinion, even if Li Mu came, he would not be his opponent. Instead, he would bring Li Mu into the mix.

If he had really activated this jade secret, he might have harmed Li Mu and made him fall into a trap and come to die.

However, there was still a trace of luck in Yu Hualong's heart.

After all, that was Li Mu.

Since Li Mu's debut, every battle has been one in which he has not danced on the tip of a knife, not defeated the strong with the weak, and achieved miracles one after another. What if he can really fight against Emperor Qin Ming?

However, he didn't dare to take risks.

After all, Li Mu came from the earth, and he truly belongs to the bloodline of the ancestors. Perhaps, it represents hope. With Li Mu's qualifications, the fifteen-year-old great sage will step out of this planet in the future and follow in the footsteps of the ancestors of the earth. Not difficult.

This seedling of hope cannot be cut off at this time.

"Your Highness, it is better to fight to the death."

Beside him, a blind old man paused the iron rod in his hand and spoke in a sonorous tone.

"Yes, my life, Lao Zhang, has been lingering for such a long time. I don't want to hide anymore and fight with these bastards who retaliate for kindness." A fat man with a bare chest and breasts hanging on his waist. A sword with an ox-ear sharp handle, he gritted his teeth and said.

These two people are both Yu Hualong's confidants. The old man's name is Mu Qing, who looks like a butcher, and his name is Zhang San, who looks like a butcher. He used to hide in the market, but he is actually a A strong man is a half-step saint.

He is also the strongest person in Dayue Kingdom after Yu Hualong.

The two of them were the only two people who knew the origin and function of the jade secret in Yu Hualong's hand. At this time, they expressed their stance in this way and did not want to involve Li Mu.

Yu Hualong looked at the two of them, and then at the soldiers who were injured in all battles at the head of Longcheng Pass, and didn't know what to say.

A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years.

Before, every time the Western Qin Army conquered a city, it was basically a bloodbath, slaughtering the city, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, regardless of the soldiers and civilians. Except for Longcheng Pass, which had not yet been conquered, the other eighteen cities in the ten cities and nine places were completely slaughtered. …

The sacrifice is already huge.

Yu Hualong gradually began to have concerns in his heart.

He exerted force with his palm and shook the jade secret directly into powder.

Li Mu can't come.

If today, after a thousand years, the glory of the Great Moon Empire that is burning on this land is destined to be extinguished again, then it is better to preserve Li Mu, the last and most promising flame to start a prairie fire.

This was Yu Hualong's final decision.

"Send an order and order the people in the city to come out of the city and surrender. Back then, Longcheng Pass held on until the end, but Western Qin did not organize a counterattack to rescue them. Let them go today. I hope Western Qin can let these people go."

Yu Hualong ordered.

"This... the Western Qin army is brutal, I'm afraid they won't accept it." Zhang San said with a worried expression.

Mu Qing said: "There is no other way. If we don't allow the people to get out, once the city is broken, the people in the city will only face massacre."

The order was passed on.

The city began to mobilize.

…

…

On board the Flying Whale flagship.

Under the main flag, a burly figure in black imperial robes stands tall and solemn. His face is solemn, neither happy nor sad. His eyes are calm and calm. There is a kind of domineering and trembling silence in the silence. His body is straight, like a handle. A sharp sword, like one stuck in the bow of a ship.

People around him didn't dare to look up at this figure.

He is none other than Emperor Qin Ming, the most powerful person in the world.

After sixty years of seclusion, everyone in the world thought he was possessed by a demon. Who knew that once he broke out of the seclusion, he would kill the Pope of the Sun Temple among the nine poles with his sword, causing millions of sand tribe troops to flee.

Previously, Li Yuanba, the Generalissimo of the Western Qin Dynasty, led the Tiance army to counterattack ten cities and nine places. They failed for a long time and repeatedly fought back and forth. However, Emperor Ming of Qin personally led the expedition and severely damaged Prince Dayue with just one move and captured eighteen cities. .

Today's Qin Ming Emperor has the same prestige in the Western Qin Empire as Hao Ri Jing Kong. No one dares to question or defy him. He makes decisions with just one word, just like a high-ranking god.

"Your Majesty, Dragon City Temple has sent an envoy here, hoping that the army can take over the people in the city." A guard came over and said respectfully.

Emperor Qin Ming looked at the ministers around him.

A minister with white beard and hair took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, in the past at Longcheng Pass, they resisted the remnants of Dayue and persisted the longest. They held on to the lone city for a year. In the end, they ran out of ammunition and food. They had no choice but to surrender. These people, It’s a sign of loyalty, it’s no better than the other eighteen cities, so it may be acceptable.”

"Yes." Emperor Qin Ming said expressionlessly.

The guard turned around and went back to deliver the order.

After a moment, Emperor Qin Ming spoke again and said: "Yuanba, you lead the elite Tiance around you to intercept and kill all the people who leave the city, no matter old or young. No one will be spared."

Li Yuanba's expression changed drastically.

The old minister who gave the advice before looked as if he had been slapped in the face. His face turned pale and he said, "Your Majesty, this...this...killing of those who have returned to one's heart is contrary to God's virtue of reviving life."

No one thought that the Supreme Lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, who had made a promise, had just agreed to Dayue Kingdom's request, but in the blink of an eye, he would make a secret move behind his back and kill all the people. This... was not done by Mingjun.

"Once a thief, always a thief." Emperor Qin Ming said calmly: "Who can guarantee that among the people who did this, how many are real people and how many are remnants of the Great Moon?"

No one dared to meet his eyes.

A flash of knife light flashed.

The head of the old minister with pale beard and hair flew up.

"From now on, if there is another person in our Western Qin Empire who is so ignorant and harms the country, he will be killed." Emperor Qin Ming's voice was full of unquestionable majesty and cruelty: "Take this person down, bury him generously, and raise his son. "

The guard combined the dead veteran's body and head and stayed there.

The surrounding ministers were as silent as cicadas.

Li Yuanba bowed and accepted the order and left.

…

…

"What?" Yu Hualong looked pale: "Kill them all and leave no one alive?"

"Your Highness, the people who were sent out of the city are all dead... It was Li Yuanba who led the bodyguard camp to massacre them. It was too late to escape." The bodyguard said with a sad face and tears.

"Emperor Qin Ming... is a butcher." Yu Hualong was extremely angry.

The little girl named Cai Cai, Granny Cai and others were also among the people, and they all died.

If they stay in the city, they will definitely die once the city is breached. Sending them out of the city is the last resort, hoping to save their lives, but... I'm sorry, Li Mu.

Yu Hualong knew Li Mu's feelings for Cai Cai's ancestors and grandsons.

At the beginning, he waited for several months at Grandma Cai's house before he arrived at Li Mu. When Li Mu left, he also entrusted the grandparents and grandchildren to his care, but... the world was in such a turbulent situation, what could he do?

"Get ready to break out." Yu Hualong slowly closed his eyes and said.

"Where to go?" Zhang San asked.

Yu Hualong said: "Go to Yueshan Sect."

An hour later, Dayue's army, which was less than ten thousand in Longcheng Temple, broke out from the west city gate, bravely broke through the encirclement of the Western Qin army and fled towards the northwest.

The mourning soldiers burst out with terrifying fighting power.

On the flying whale ship, Emperor Qin Ming looked down, with a contemptuous smile on his face.

"Qin Eryi, you lead the third team to hunt down and kill no one. Bring the body back to me." He said calmly.

"As ordered." A bodyguard in black iron armor who had been standing behind him opened his mouth, and his voice was like the friction of rusty iron, which made people feel heart-stopping.

When he and nine other black-equipped guards stood behind Emperor Qin Ming, they remained motionless, as if they were iron statues, and their aura was extremely cold and gloomy.

Just look at the black mist swirling around, and then these ten people disappeared.

The ministers were puzzled.

Could it be that these ten people are going to hunt down Prince Dayue?

The flying whale ship broke through the sky, moving slowly after Dayue's fleeing army, like a trailing blood shark, peeping at its prey for hundreds of miles, and there was a bloody road below.

Soon, a mountain range appeared in front.

Dayue's fleeing army lost more than 3,000 people and entered the mountains.

However, the crisis really came.

Ten black cloud pillars suddenly swooped down from the sky, splitting the sky pillars, carrying a destructive aura, as if the world-destroying demon god had arrived. The Great Moon Army, which had originally fled into the mountains, suddenly faced The danger of annihilation.

It was as if the previous chase was just a game of cat and mouse.

Prince Dayue Yue Hualong turned around.

"You take the people and retreat, I will stop him."

He slowly drew out the long sword from his waist.

The so-called him, of course, refers to Emperor Qin Ming.
