☆、146 Feng Jingtian's Tragedy
Suo Qingqiu asked, but in his heart he already knew. He knew Feng Jingtian's character all too well, but his pure and desireless heart had long been filled with Hua Mudan. Now that he saw his beloved suffering so much, how could he stand idly by? Although he had expected to encounter such a scene, he did not regret it!
"Akiro——"
Peony looked at Suo Qingqiu with tender affection and called out softly, her domineering aura completely gone.
"Suo Qingqiu, quickly bring out everything from the imperial treasury, including Wu Liuyin and Xiu Luozhan, or I'll make sure you and you, Hua Mudan, die without a burial place today!"
"Hmph, Feng Jingtian, do you think I'll let you succeed? If the entire continent were unified under your control, then the people would truly suffer. Mudan and I would rather die than see you wreak havoc on this continent."
Suo Qingqiu's eyes turned cold as she glanced at the person in her arms and said resolutely.
"Oh, you want to die? Not so easy. Get them! Capture these two adulterers alive!" Feng Jingtian shouted, and the people around him rushed forward.
While holding Hua Mudan, Suo Qingqiu resisted, and in a short while, she had subdued dozens of people.
Feng Jingtian leaped forward and delivered a heavy blow to Suo Qingqiu from behind, sending the two flying apart.
Suo Qingqiu crashed heavily to the ground, her protective spiritual energy creating a large crater.
Hua Mudan also fell to the ground. Before she could get up, Wu Hailan stepped forward and captured Hua Mudan.
Suo Qingqiu slowly climbed out of the pit, clutching her wound and looking at Feng Jingtian, saying, "Feng Jingtian, you're despicable."
"I'm despicable! You stole my Asura Slash and the medicinal ingredient, the Witch, and you dare call me despicable? Suo Qingqiu, don't forget that everything you have now was given to you by me, Feng Jingtian. How could you turn around and bite your master? If it weren't for me, you'd probably be dead by now. How could you repay kindness with enmity? If anyone is despicable, it's you, you traitor!"
Feng Jingtian said with an evil look on his face, and when he looked at Suo Qingqiu, a trace of reluctance always flashed in his eyes!
Yes, his most capable and caring subordinate has now betrayed him. He is also a human being. Although he is ruthless, he still has emotions and desires. He also has a son who has disappeared. Just thinking about it makes his heart ache. He has been raising an ungrateful wretch by his side all this time!
"Heh, Feng Jingtian, have you ever treated us like human beings? Huh?" Suo Qingqiu asked with a cold laugh.
"Enough nonsense, hand over the location of the national treasury and the Asura Slash, or I'll kill Hua Mudan right now!" Feng Jingtian said no more, and gave a shout, glancing at Wu Hailan.
Wu Hailan immediately scooped out the long whip in her hand and strangled Hua Mudan's neck, causing Hua Mudan's face to turn bright red.
"Peony—" Suo Qingqiu cried out in disbelief at the sight of Peony. She suddenly turned to Feng Jingtian: "The Asura Slash wasn't scooped by me, it was scooped by Yun Duan. That witch was with him too. I'll hand over the national treasury, then release me and Peony!"
Suddenly, Suo Qingqiu knelt heavily, her legs on the ground, and pleaded softly.
"What? Cloud Realm scooped up the Asura Slash? Suo Qingqiu, you're not lying to me."
Feng Jingtian suddenly looked surprised, then appeared incredulous. Although he didn't have a good relationship with Feng Yunduan, he couldn't believe that his son had betrayed him.
"Yes, I, Suo Qingqiu, never lie. I'll hand over the position of the national treasury; just let me and Mudan go."
Suo Qingqiu nodded and answered affirmatively, not forgetting to continue pleading with Feng Jingtian.
"Alright, tell me, I'll release you immediately after I verify," Feng Jingtian suddenly replied with a dark face and a cheerful expression.
"Very well, I hope you keep your word. The imperial treasury has already been transferred to the Duke's mansion. Your secluded chamber is just one level below; that's where all the wealth of the imperial capital resides."
Suo Qingqiu glanced at the peony and spoke slowly.
"Empty Dove, go and see if it's true."
Feng Jingtian turned and glanced at Kong Lingjiu, then gave the order.
Kong Lingjiu flew swiftly towards the Duke's mansion and returned shortly afterward. She respectfully approached Feng Jingtian and said, "Reporting to Master, it is true."
"Alright, release the peony."
Feng Jingtian said something and gave Wu Hailan a look. Hua Mudan immediately ran to Suo Qingqiu's side: "Qiu Lang, it's all Mudan's fault. I caused you to get hurt—" Hua Mudan hugged Suo Qingqiu and cried.
"It's alright, Peony, I'm willing."
As soon as Suo Qingqiu finished speaking, a sharp sword suddenly pierced through his and Hua Mudan's bodies. Hua Mudan stared wide-eyed at Suo Qingqiu, then slumped her head against Suo Qingqiu's neck.
"Feng Jingtian, you went back on your word—" Suo Qingqiu, still conscious, pointed at Feng Jingtian, but before she could finish her sentence, another sharp sword pierced through their bodies.
Suo Qingqiu's outstretched hand also drooped limply.
"Let's go—humph, as a traitor, I have no intention of letting you go," Feng Jingtian said coldly, glancing at the lifeless Suo Qingqiu.
After the group left, a spring breeze blew across the vast palace grounds, where the two embraced tightly.
Late at night, Wu Hailan slowly walked to the side of the two dead bodies, picked up a straw mat, and said: "Suo Qingqiu, how I wish I could be like you, able to escape, but I can't. I envy your love with Hua Mudan, that you could even die together and not be separated. But I can only remain a heartless and desireless person."
They busily dragged the two corpses towards the back garden.
...
Helian Qing married Murong Fanghua as she wished, but soon after, Murong Fanghua was about to go to war, because Feng Jingtian had led 300,000 elites from the capital to besiege the Demon Continent.
Murong Fanghua donned a suit of golden armor, mounted his horse, glanced back at the magnificent palace, and resolutely embarked on his journey to war.
A fiery red figure ran swiftly across the city wall, watching Murong Fanghua's retreating figure, and cried out with tears streaming down her face.
"Your Majesty, Qing'er will be waiting for your return—"
The shouts echoed for a long time above the vast palace!
In the Ghost Domain Forest, Wu Liuyin looked at the map, along with Feng Yu Lei Dian and the others who had just been summoned.
“Feng Jingtian has made his move. It’s time for us to prepare for our attack. Remember to train the soldiers well these next few days and do not slack off.” Wu Liuyin looked at Feng Yuleidian and Xia Zhiheng with confidence, her thoughts growing even stronger.
☆、147. A hand intervened to save the day (7:21)
The moonlight was bright and gentle, enveloping the continent. Wu Liuyin led Xia Zhiheng and his 20,000 elite soldiers, slowly approaching the Demon Fan army camp. They didn't need many people, just a few elite ones!
Inside the camp of the demon soldiers, in the commander's tent, candlelight flickered. Murong Fanghua sat in the tent, analyzing the troop deployment trend of the imperial army. A hint of displeasure crept onto his usually stern face!
Feng Jingtian's troop deployment is truly meticulous; no corner of the military camp can be attacked suddenly!
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Feng Jingtian has suddenly led a large army to launch a massive attack on Mofan!" Rayleigh rushed in without even announcing the attack, because Feng Jingtian's attack was simply too fierce.
"That Feng Jingtian actually sent out troops in the dead of night! Damn it! Lei Li, lead your men and launch a full-scale counterattack!" Murong Fanghua immediately stood up, grabbed his sword, and rushed out.
"Kill them!"
As the two armies clashed, their eyes turned bloodshot with rage. Feng Jingtian sat on the chariot in the middle, his face filled with a bloodthirsty expression as he commanded the soldiers of the capital to charge. These women, each as strong as an ox, were even more ruthless than the men. Not only were they all robust, but they were also incredibly brave and fearless, not even afraid of death!
Murong Fanghua also led the soldiers of Mofan in a fierce counterattack against the sudden attack.
The enemy's attack was as fierce as a long dragon, but their counterattack was as nimble as a snake.
A battle for survival is underway, with everyone bloodthirsty and willing to risk everything to stay alive!
Murong Fanghua leaped forward and began to confront Feng Jingtian head-on.
Bursting with enchanting purple spiritual energy, Feng Jingtian snorted coldly, kicked his foot onto the horse's back, and floated in the air, effortlessly blocking Murong Fanghua's attack.
"Murong Fanghua, you can't beat me, surrender now, hahaha..." A triumphant laugh filled the sky. Murong Fanghua gritted his teeth and, with all his might, was determined to fight Feng Jingtian to the death!
He is a chosen one of heaven and cannot be destroyed!
"Splash splash splash—"
"Boom boom boom—"
"Bang bang bang—"
After more than a dozen rounds, Murong Fanghua could no longer hold on and was sent flying by a palm strike from Feng Jingtian, who had used ninety percent of his strength.
With a loud "boom," it crashed into the ground, creating a large crater that continuously spewed out chaotic dust.
The demon soldiers lost their morale and fell into chaos. This battle boosted the morale of the capital, and the fearless women became more and more enthusiastic as they fought.
Blood flowed like rivers, and corpses littered the fields!
Only two idioms can be used to describe this moment, this scene.
The bright moonlight was suddenly covered by dark clouds, which blocked the light and darkened the sky. Even the heavens seemed to be lamenting the loss of lives in this battle!
But the rise of that nation was not forged with blood!
Feng Jingtian slowly floated down in front of Murong Fanghua's pit, looking at Murong Fanghua who twitched a few times inside the pit but still insisted on getting up.
"Stop struggling, I'll send you to heaven right now."
Feng Jingtian smiled contemptuously, his eyes suddenly filled with killing intent. He stretched out a hand and suddenly unleashed a powerful spiritual energy slash at Murong Fanghua, who had not yet gotten up.
"boom--"
Suddenly, a surge of black spiritual energy clashed with Feng Jingtian's spiritual power, causing a small-scale explosion!
"It's you?"
As Feng Jingtian looked at Wu Liuyin, who had suddenly appeared before him, his expression unconsciously became even more greedy.
Murong Fanghua looked up at Wu Liuyin's arrogant back and felt a sudden pang in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Feng Jingtian, today is the day we settle this with a duel. It's either you or me who dies."
Wu Liuyin stared coldly at Feng Jingtian as she spoke, her tone instantly filled with murderous intent!
The 20,000 elite soldiers who had charged forward, along with Xia Zhiheng and others, arrived before them.
"Zhiheng, help Mofan escape unscathed. He is the opponent I must deal with. I will not allow anyone else to lay a finger on him, otherwise who will I seek revenge against?" Without even glancing at Xia Zhiheng and the people rushing up, he gave the order in perfect unison.
"Yes, Zhiheng knows." Xia Zhiheng nodded and instantly led 20,000 elite soldiers who had been specially trained and selected by Wu Liuyin to rush forward and begin fighting with the female soldiers of the capital.
"Hmph, you say it's either you or me? What a boastful tone! Prepare to be attacked!"
Feng Jingtian charged forward, exuding a powerful aura that suppressed Wu Liuyin's movements with sheer force.
Wu Liuyin, who was strong against the weak and strong, was not afraid at all. She instantly unleashed all her spiritual power, and a powerful chaotic energy filled her body. She had to get rid of Feng Jingtian!
When the two intense black and white lights in the sky collided, they triggered a powerful explosion. The spiritual energy clashed and flew sideways to the ground, instantly killing tens of thousands of people, including those from the capital, demons, and the elite troops led by Wu Liuyin.
Feng Jingtian withdrew his spiritual power for a moment, then looked at Wu Liuyin: "Hmph, I still have a few more medicinal ingredients left, but I won't hold back from now on."
After saying that, he glanced at her and then leaped out, his momentum like a force tearing through the air, heading straight for Wu Liuyin.
