Special War God

Chapter 180 The long wait

Although Erhuangzi took a breath, his movements did not become disordered at all.

He quietly took out a bow and arrow.

The name of this bow is "Chixiao" and the arrow is called "Xueyu".

"Chixiao" is a divine bow, and the "Blood Feather" arrow is even more powerful, made from the feathers of a bird called the Rapier.

The plover is naturally ferocious and bloodthirsty, and it feeds on sucking the blood of living beings. This "blood feather" arrow inherits the nature of the plover. Once it pierces the body, it will absorb a large amount of the victim's blood in an instant.

On the battlefield between Dahuangzi and Sihuangzi, after Sihuangzi evolved three sets of Seven-Star Sword Formations in one breath, he suddenly stood up at the same time, holding the "Seven-Star Sword", and with strange steps, rushed towards Dahuangzi like a shadow.

This time, Da Huangzi really felt the threat.

A sense of pressure from the state of Hedao rose up, and he completely let go of his own cultivation, actually exuding a bit of the aura of the state of Hedao.

Erhuangzi and Sihuangzi were extremely shocked. They had never expected that Dahuangzi had been holding back and had been suppressing his strength to deal with Sihuangzi.

At this moment, they could see clearly that Da Huangzi's cultivation had already stepped half way into the realm of He Dao.

Da Huangzi was concentrating on responding. Even though his cultivation was far superior to Si Huangzi's, the terrifying attack power that Si Huangzi unleashed with the help of the "Seven Star Sword" still made him feel fearful.

When all his cultivation was released, a layer of red light swirled around the "Heaven-shattering Halberd", and the halberd body could no longer be seen. This must be the ultimate state of operation of the "Heaven-shattering Halberd".

Da Huangzi was seen waving the "Bengtian Ji", and the thirty-seven sword energies attacking him melted away like snowflakes meeting the sun, and the red light on the "Bengtian Ji" also dimmed a lot, revealing the black body of the halberd.

After Da Huangzi dissolved the sword energy and sword formation close to him, he met Si Huangzi again. There was a series of crisp "ding ding ding" sounds, and the "Beng Tian Ji" and the "Qi Xing Jian" collided more than ten times in a row...

It was not known whether the "Heaven-Breaking Halberd" had consumed too much energy after resisting the sword formation of twenty-one sword spirits, or whether the Fourth Prince really possessed such strength, but this time when the weapons clashed, the Fourth Prince no longer retreated step by step. Instead, he took advantage of the close combat opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack, vowing to decide the outcome of this round of contest.

If Xia Zhongnan was around at this time, he would have screamed in surprise.

This is the real battle between the peak Guixu realm monks. In comparison, those Guixu monks who broke into the temple ruins are nothing but insignificant existences.

No wonder all the cultivators are trying their best to fight for cultivation resources.

The two princes were holding divine weapons, so they could unleash such terrifying fighting power. Any one of the Guixu monks who broke into the temple could probably handle more than ten of them.

Just as the battle between the eldest prince and the fourth prince reached its climax, two sharp rays of light shot towards them at almost the speed of light.

The two attacks came too fast. Although the eldest prince and the fourth prince tried to dodge and resist with all their strength, they still failed to avoid the attack.

The eldest prince was shot in the shoulder, and the fourth prince was shot through the back.

If the Fourth Prince had not made a desperate attempt and used his most powerful skill, and the First Prince had not fought with all his might, they would have been able to resist this sudden attack.

The second prince had been ready to go. How could he miss this good opportunity? He shot a string of arrows at the two of them like "blood feathers".

However, except for the initial two arrows fired at the same time, the subsequent arrows did not hit the two people.

In a few breaths, the first and fourth princes pulled out the "blood feather" arrows stuck in their bodies. They looked at each other, stopped fighting, and turned to outflank the second prince.

Seeing the two men's swift movements, the second prince was frightened and turned around and ran down the mountain.

He originally thought that the fierce battle between the eldest prince and the fourth prince had exhausted their vitality, and the "Blood Feather" arrow absorbed the power of their essence and blood, which would seriously injure the two of them, allowing him to reap the benefits.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were so brave that even though they were injured, they still approached him. He dared not confront them head-on and could only flee in panic.

Seeing the Second Prince fleeing, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince fled in different directions.

In the Xu family villa, everyone was waiting in the main hall for the results of the princes' competition.

The wait seemed endless, from early morning to afternoon and then to night.

Everyone has lost their patience, and the ones who are suffering the most are Xu Dejing and Xu Qin. The matter is not clear, and they dare not tell Xu Qian...

Fortunately, Xu Qian was always confined in her residence, otherwise she would have been alarmed by the sudden appearance of so many strange people and magical beasts in her home.

Until late at night, Grand Marshal Tang Huaigang suggested: "It is not a good idea to wait endlessly like this. Why don't we return home and wait for the instructions of the Huang people?"

In this situation, everyone was eager to return home. With his guidance, Taiwei Zou Wenwu and Taishi An Shubao responded quickly. They had a close relationship with the Second Prince, who was usually quite tolerant of them, so even if they left quietly without permission, they did not feel too much burden in their hearts.

However, Prime Minister Qu Tongtian, Minister of War Tu Shiyun and Prince An Xie Shuyi refused to withdraw. They thought they were no less capable than the other three, so they insisted on staying until now.

The three men claimed to be leaving and led the two young men to the door. They turned around and glanced at the three people still sitting in the room. They saw that their eyes were closely following the departing people, but they were still sitting there, not moving at all.

They shook their heads and sighed, and finally left, unwilling to waste any more time.

After this group of people left, the remaining three people and Xu Dejing looked at each other.

Xu Dejing had no intention of resting. Staying here could bring him a little peace, but he couldn't fall asleep even if he returned to his room.

However, Qu Tongtian, Tu Shiyun and Xie Shuyi did not dare to leave their posts without permission.

They were ordered to accompany Xu Dejing to the Fourth Prince's residence to cancel the engagement. If they failed to complete the mission, they would be derelict in their duty. If the First Prince returned and was unable to see them, he would probably be angry.

Qu Tongtian had just been beaten into a pig's head by the Fourth Prince, and he definitely didn't want to endure the eldest prince's wrath again in the short term.

Wen Yulou's returning fleet is about to arrive at the port outside Wudu City.

Lang Zhengfeng walked out of Wen Yulou's cabin and said, "I heard from the commander-in-chief that the king intends to grant the army three state governors' seats. The candidates have been decided, which are me, Gan Kunshan, and Xiang Tianyu."

Liu Dabazi asked frustratedly, "Isn't there any me?"

Lang Zhengfeng smiled and said, "In terms of seniority and military achievements, how could you be selected for these three seats in the army? It is not easy for the expeditionary army to nominate two people, so a quota must be given to those who stayed behind. But I am a little surprised that they chose Xiang Tianyu."

Xia Zhongnan naturally knew Xiang Tianyu and had a good impression of him, so he asked casually, "Why are you surprised that they nominated Xiang Tianyu?"

Lang Zhengfeng explained: "Xiang Tianyu comes from a cultivation sect, and his foundation in the army is not stable. It is almost impossible for him to get the position of governor of a state by himself. The Guiyi Sect behind him must have paid a huge price to help him get promoted. It seems that having the support of a powerful sect is indeed beneficial at certain times."

Xia Zhongnan asked in confusion: "From what General Lang said, is there any disadvantage in having a powerful sect as a backing?"

Lang Zhengfeng replied: "You don't understand. Most of the cultivators who can join the army have backgrounds similar to those of independent cultivators. If there is a powerful sect, who would choose the army? Therefore, they always have a natural rejection of those who come from sects. It is difficult for disciples from sects to gain a foothold in the army."

Xia Zhongnan nodded slightly. Although he had served in the Chiyi Army for many years, the Thirteen Divine Soldiers Corps was newly established after all, and he had few interactions with other powerful armies. He still did not have enough understanding of the military structure of the Wu Kingdom.

Lang Zhengfeng smiled again: "I have followed Xiaofei's wishes and had a deep talk with General Wen Cang. General Wen has promised that once the opportunity Xiaofei mentioned appears, he will speak frankly in front of the throne. General Wen is always obliged to his comrades!"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "Thank you very much for your care, General Lang!"

Lang Zhengfeng continued, "After arriving in Wudu, you will stay in my residence for the time being! If General Liu wants to ascend to a high position, in addition to General Wen's support, he also needs help from all parties. I will take General Liu to visit several dignitaries, and only with their help can it go smoothly. I will make a list later, and you can consider what kind of gifts to send. By the way, I heard that Xu Dejing and Xu Shouting are also in Wudu. When you get there, it is advisable to visit them first. People should not forget their roots."

Liu Dabazi asked in a trembling voice: "Is General Xu also in Wudu?"

Lang Zhengfeng said: "He is aiming for a high position, why would he be absent from Wudu at this moment? He must have been running around a lot during this period, and Xu Dejing also spared no effort to save his face and ran around to give gifts."

They did not have a deep background, and the people on the boat were unable to pass on information, so they had to rely on Lang Zhengfeng to learn about the situation in Wudu.

Lang Zhengfeng looked at Xia Zhongnan again, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Xia Zhongnan noticed it and asked, "General Lang, do you have anything else to say?"

Lang Zhengfeng said softly, "I haven't seen Xu Qian for a long time. I used to dislike her being noisy, but now I miss her a little bit!"

Xia Zhongnan responded: "Well, I miss her too."

Lang Zhengfeng mentioned it casually, "I heard that Xu Dejing had already betrothed her to the fourth son of the royal family, Prince Chengkui. I think they came to Wudu this time, and after the matter of Xu Shouting is settled, they will hold the wedding."

This sentence exploded in Xia Zhongnan's mind like a thunderbolt, and the blood on his face disappeared, leaving only a buzzing sound.

Liu Dabazi sighed: "I didn't expect this naughty girl would marry into the royal family! I thought she was interested in our Xiaofei..."

Halfway through his words, he saw Xia Zhongnan's expression suddenly change, so he quickly stopped talking.

The atmosphere at the scene was subtle for a moment, and Xia Zhongnan asked: "General Lang, is there any other information about Xu Qian?"

Lang Zhengfeng replied: "I ran into Xu Dejing before I entered the Immortal Palace Ruins last time and chatted with him for a while. Xu Qian's engagement should have been made a few years ago, but she seemed dissatisfied and ran away from home. You should know more about the follow-up than I do."

Liu Dabazi said: "No wonder that girl hid in our army, it turned out that she was avoiding the engagement! With her personality, she is indeed capable of doing such a thing!"

It turns out that Xu Qian joined the Thirteen Divine Soldiers Corps just to escape an engagement!

No wonder after spending so much time with her, sometimes her lively and agile personality would reveal a hint of imperceptible melancholy...

Deep in Xia Zhongnan's mind, those magical moments he had spent with Xu Qian passed by like a dream bubble, and finally stopped at her sad and beautiful face when she said goodbye. Her magical oath echoed in his ears: "Xia Zhongnan, you must come to Yanyang Mu Mansion to find me, otherwise you will become my eternal regret!"
