Chapter 269 Battle with Chu Xingchen

Although Gu Sheng's cultivation level is slightly inferior, he can always avert danger with his powerful physical body and strange body skills.

Just when everyone thought the battle was about to reach a stalemate, Chu Xingchen suddenly activated the dragon ball, and the thunder and lightning above the sky became more violent, as if it was about to engulf Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng's face was solemn, he knew that this was Chu Xingchen's killer move.

He was heartbroken and decided to take the risk. He secretly activated the ivy demon soul in the space ring to prepare a surprise for Chu Xingchen.

Just when Chu Xingchen's thunder and lightning was about to hit Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng suddenly used the shadow hiding skill and disappeared.

Chu Xingchen was shocked, but it was too late to stop.

At this time, Gu Sheng's figure appeared again, and he had arrived behind Chu Xingchen.

He held the bloodthirsty battle ax and slashed at Chu Xingchen's back.

Chu Xingchen reacted very quickly, dodging like lightning. A dangerous aura came over him, and he seemed to have a premonition of something.

Just as he was about to fight back, he suddenly felt a strong corrosive force coming from behind.

He looked back and saw a thick ivy wrapping around his body, quickly corroding his body.

Chu Xingchen was shocked. He didn't expect Gu Sheng to have such a method.

He tried his best to break free from the shackles of Ivy, but it was too late.

The corrosive power of the ivy was extremely strong, and it corroded his body in an instant.

Chu Xingchen's soul escaped from his body, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and fear.

He looked at Gu Sheng and roared: "Gu Sheng, you are so cruel!"

Gu Sheng sneered, "Chu Xingchen, winner or loser, this is your fate!"

With Chu Xingchen's defeat, Chu's troops and the prince's troops also began to collapse.

Gu Sheng and others took advantage of the situation to pursue and annihilated the enemy force in one fell swoop.

The wisteria demon soul is wreaking havoc on the battlefield, and its combat power is staggering.

The huge body flew across the battlefield like a giant purple dragon. Every time it waved, it was accompanied by countless screams and the loss of life.

"Zizzizi..."

Wherever the wisteria passed, a piece of white bones was exposed, as if there had never been life here.

Its corrosive power has reached an astonishing level, and even soldiers wearing heavy armor can hardly resist it for a moment.

Gu Sheng stood aside with cold eyes.

He could feel the connection between Wisteria and himself, and that feeling of blood connection made him full of confidence in Wisteria.

"Gu Sheng, this wisteria demon soul is too terrifying, we must find a way to deal with it!"

A high-level warrior from the Chu Kingdom frowned.

Gu Sheng sneered, "If you have the ability, come and give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, several more high-level warriors rushed towards Ziteng.

They were armed with various weapons and tried to cut off the wisteria.

The skin of wisteria is extremely tough, and even sharp weapons cannot leave a mark.

Instead, the wisteria vines quickly wrapped around them, tightly binding the warriors.

Then, a strong corrosive force came out from the vines, instantly corroding those warriors into bones.

This scene shocked the senior officials of Chu State.

They didn't expect that this wisteria demon spirit would be so difficult to deal with.

At this time, a Marrow Refining Realm warrior held a huge scythe and rushed towards Wisteria.

There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he was confident of winning against this wisteria demon soul.

"Watch the move!"

The warrior shouted loudly and swung out his sickle, carrying a fierce wind, and slashed straight at Wisteria.

Wisteria seemed to feel the power of the blow and quickly shrank her body to avoid the sharp sickle.

The warrior seemed to have expected it. He turned around and swung the sickle again. This time, it struck directly on the wisteria vines.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the wisteria vine was split into two by the sickle.

Gu Sheng's expression changed, and he could feel the severe pain coming from Wisteria.

This pain seemed to directly affect his soul, making it almost unbearable for him.

"The host is connected to the heart, the wisteria is damaged, and I am also affected." Gu Sheng thought to himself.

He took a deep breath, forced down the pain in his heart, and looked at the Marrow Refining Realm warrior with cold eyes.

"A good trick!" Gu Sheng sneered, "But you alone are not enough to deal with Ziteng."

The marrow refining realm warrior also had a serious look on his face, "Gu Sheng, this wisteria demon soul is indeed powerful, but I am not a vegetarian. Today, let me end it!"

With that said, he swung his scythe again and rushed towards Wisteria.

And Gu Sheng also moved, preparing to fight against the enemy together with Zi Teng.

Under the joint fighting of the powerful Vajra Palm and Ziteng, the strong man was quickly defeated.

"call out!"

The Jade Girl's Sword came out horizontally, and the thick sword struck down with force, splitting the warrior in half. The blood was dripping from his body, and it was terrible to see.

Gu Sheng stood in the center of the battlefield, with wisteria dancing wildly beside him. Each vine was like a snake coming out of its hole, so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

There was a cold light in his eyes, but there was peace in his heart.

Princess Zishuang watched with fascination. She clapped her hands gently and praised:

"Gu Sheng, you are indeed the pride of my country, Liang!"

Emperor Liang Yunwu was even more excited. He cheered loudly: "When you have a son, you should be like Gu Sheng! The future of our Liang Kingdom is bright!"

Gu Sheng was unmoved. As soon as his mind moved, the wisteria split into countless small segments like thousands of arrows. Each segment turned into a purple light and flew towards the Chu army.

"Swish swish!"

Wherever the purple light passed, Chu soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and their bodies quickly turned into bones under the corrosion of the wisteria.

This bloody and terrifying scene greatly reduced the morale of the Chu army.

At the same time, Gu Sheng took a deep breath and activated the snake breath technique.

A cold and terrifying aura emanated from him, as if there were thousands of poisonous snakes swimming around.

"What kind of breath is this? It's so scary!"

The expression of a general in the Chu army changed drastically. He felt that his mind seemed to be drawn by this aura and became confused.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Sheng activated the Phantom Divine Comedy again.

In an instant, Chu's popular music sounded on the battlefield. These melodies were familiar to the Chu soldiers, but when they heard them, they seemed to have a strange magic power, making them uneasy.

"This is a plan to embarrass everyone on all sides!"

A wise man in the Chu army exclaimed,

"Let the soldiers block their ears and not be affected by these sounds!"

How can the power of the Phantom Divine Comedy be blocked by plugging your ears?

Soon, the mood of the Chu soldiers became complicated. They began to doubt their beliefs and began to waver in their confidence in the war.

"Run!"

Finally, someone started to run away. This escape spread quickly like dominoes.

The Chu army, which was originally so powerful, now became completely defeated.

Gu Sheng sneered, and with a movement of his body, he appeared in front of a Chu army general like a ghost.

He slapped a golden palm, and the general was turned into a pulp without even having a chance to react.

"Kill!" Gu Shengsheng shouted, and his figure disappeared again, leaving only a golden afterimage.

His speed has reached an astonishing level, and even warriors at the Marrow Refining Realm have difficulty catching his traces.

Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the Liang army seemed to be in an uninhabited territory, and the Chu army retreated steadily and was completely defeated.

In this battle, Gu Sheng single-handedly turned the entire battle situation around.

After the fall of the Chu State, the Liang State was full of joy.

For Emperor Liang Yunwu and Princess Zishuang, this was just the beginning of the great cause of unification.

Princess Zishuang stood on the city tower, overlooking the vast territory of Chu State, her eyes shining with determination and ambition.

She turned to Gu Sheng, who was standing aside, and said, "Gu Sheng, although the Chu State has been defeated, its remaining forces are still there. The road ahead will not be easy."

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is extremely intelligent and will definitely be able to strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away."

Princess Zishuang nodded. She was well aware of Gu Sheng's abilities. With him by her side, she would be even more powerful.

She thought for a moment and said: "The remaining forces of the Chu State must be eradicated as soon as possible. At the same time, we must also take over the Chu State's territory and establish new prefectures and counties to stabilize our rule."

Gu Sheng nodded in agreement and said: "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is absolutely true. I suggest that we first send envoys to various places to announce Liang's policies and appease the people. At the same time, strengthen border patrols to prevent the remnants of the Chu State from counterattacking. "

After hearing this, Princess Zishuang praised: "Gu Sheng, you are really thoughtful. I will do as you say."

In the following days, Princess Zishuang and Gu Sheng were busy together.

They sent envoys to various places to announce Liang Guo's policies and strengthen border defense.

Princess Zishuang also personally participated in the establishment of prefectures and counties. She rationally divided prefectures and counties and appointed officials based on the actual conditions of various places, which stabilized the rule of the Liang Kingdom.

Just when the founding of the Liang Kingdom was in full swing, Qi State sent envoys to get a share of the pie.

Princess Zishuang looked at the Qi envoy coldly and said: "The Chu State was destroyed by our Liang State. If the Qi State wants to share the profits, it would be too greedy."

The envoy from Qi State argued: "Your Highness, although the State of Qi is small, it has contributed a lot. Besides, the State of Chu has a vast territory, and it would be too overbearing for the State of Liang to monopolize it."

Princess Zishuang sneered and said: "The territory of Chu was obtained with the blood and lives of our Liang soldiers. If Qi wants to share the benefits, then show sincerity. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

The envoy from Qi State was frightened by Princess Zishuang's momentum and had to go back in despair.

In the end, at Princess Zishuang's insistence, Qi only received one-seventh of the benefits and was demoted to a feudal state.

At this point, the Liang Kingdom achieved a superficial unification.

At the celebration banquet, the lights were bright and the sound of silk and bamboo was melodious.

The entire Liang Kingdom gathered together to celebrate this hard-won victory.

Princess Zishuang is sitting on the main seat. She is dressed in gorgeous clothes and has a beautiful face, just like a blooming peony.

Her eyes moved around and finally settled on Gu Sheng, with a satisfied smile on her face.

She waved gently, and a maid stepped forward. It was her beloved Shangguan Yudie.

"Gu Sheng, for your great military exploits this time, I have decided to reward you with a gift."

Princess Zishuang said, pushing Shangguan Yudie in front of Gu Sheng, "This is my maid Shangguan Yudie. She is smart and considerate. Let her follow you from now on."

Gu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the generous gift. I am deeply grateful."

Princess Zishuang waved her hand and said with a smile:

"You don't need to be polite. I know that you are a dragon and a phoenix among people, and ordinary rewards may not be able to impress you. So, tell me, what else do you want? The land in the world, the treasures in the world, as long as you say If you come out, I can reward you."

When Gu Sheng heard this, his heart moved.

He knew that he had gained enough. If he was greedy, he might cause unnecessary trouble.

So, he took a deep breath and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, I am already a champion marquis, and I have a beautiful woman like Shangguan Yudie to accompany me. I really have no other request. I just want to be loyal to Liang State and protect the peace of this land."

Princess Zishuang heard this, and a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes.

She smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Gu is indifferent to fame and fortune, which is a blessing for our Liang State. Since you haven't decided what reward you want now, let's talk about it later. I believe you will ask for what you want one day."

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, he knew that Princess Zishuang's words were true.

He bowed and said: "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness, I will live up to your expectations."

The celebration banquet continued, and Gu Sheng fell into deep thought while drinking.

He knew that although he had gained a lot, he also attracted many jealous people.

The road ahead would probably be more difficult.

Of course, he had no intention of retreating, but was full of expectations and fighting spirit.

In a corner of the banquet, Shangguan Yudie gently pulled Gu Sheng's sleeve and whispered: "Lord Gu, the princess treats you so well, you must repay her well."

Gu Sheng came back to his senses, looked at Shangguan Yudie's clear eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will."

The two smiled knowingly, as if at this moment, they had reached a tacit understanding.

All this was seen by Princess Zishuang, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Before the laughter of the celebration banquet had faded, Princess Zishuang summoned Gu Sheng alone.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the jade steps of the palace, and the two walked side by side, like a pair of perfect couples.

"Gu Sheng, how is it, is Yudie enjoying it?"

Princess Zishuang suddenly spoke, with a hint of playfulness in her voice, and her signature cunning smile on her face.

Gu Sheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said:

"Princess, you are joking. Yudie is gentle and considerate, which is naturally very good."

His answer was half true and half false, neither frivolous nor humorous.

Princess Zishuang chuckled, as if she was quite satisfied with Gu Sheng's answer.

She changed the subject and said seriously: "We had an agreement before. You help me unify the world, and I will pledge my love to you. Now, the world has been unified, but I can't share the world with you."

Gu Sheng's heart moved, knowing that the princess had something to say.

He remained calm and waited for the next words.

Princess Zishuang continued: "Yes, I am not the emperor, what world can I share?"

There was a hint of helplessness and unwillingness in her tone.

Gu Sheng knew that the princess wanted to go one step further and seize the throne.

He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Princess, the world is too big for one person to rule.

You are now the ruler of Liang State, no different from the emperor. Why do you still cling to that empty title?"

Princess Zishuang heard this, and a strange color flashed in her eyes. She looked at Gu Sheng, as if thinking about his words. (End of this chapter)
