After that, Chu Yunsheng rode the horse towards the north without looking back, leaving a trail of dust behind him.
Ba Yi, whose hair was messy, spat first, then waved his hand behind him and cursed, "Fuck, I don't want to accompany you guys anymore. Brothers, let's go!"
Then, Deere sneered and looked at the people opposite him contemptuously. He kicked the horse with both of his legs, shouted, and led the army to turn north. But he did not follow in the direction of Chu Yunsheng's flying dust. Instead, he slightly split up and galloped in another direction.
On the front line of vampires, Buterne gritted her teeth, looking at the single horse in the distance, looking at the scattered beast shadows behind him, looking at Wen Luo riding past her and crossing the line of fire, looking at the eyes of the seventeen riders behind her … She clenched the hilt of the sword in her hand tightly as if she wanted to use all her strength here. What should she do? Who can tell her what to do!?
If Ashe was right, she was wrong. If Ashe was wrong, she was still wrong. Then what did she do so hard? What was it for? Was it funny or stupid?
What was right?
Looking at the gloomy eyes of the old vampires, thinking that she was used as a chess piece, she actually had a thought for the first time: could it be that Deere was right, that the oath was really a whore? The vampires who betrayed the oath were the ones who really saw through all this, and they were just a group of fools?
In this case, did she still have a way out? She was Chu Yunsheng's woman. For the old vampires, she still had some value when Ashe betrayed them. But now that she "drove away" Ashe and Chu Yunsheng, not only did she lose her value, but she also became a stumbling block.
Buterne was not familiar with and did not like the struggle for power, but it did not mean that she was not smart. She knew her situation very well. She had completely offended Ashe's faction, and now she could no longer be tolerated by the old vampires. Except for following Chu Yunsheng, where else could she go? Just because she was Chu Yunsheng's woman.
She, who had lost her soul, pulled the reins numbly, spurred the horse, and crossed the line of fire numbly. At this moment, she vaguely heard the sound of her faith that she had persisted for a lifetime had collapsed. Finally, on the back of the horse, she burst into tears …
The moon was hanging high in the sky, bright and clear. This should have been the favorite night of the vampires, but it had become extremely heavy. Buterne's painful cry drifted across the plain with the wind, crossed the line of fire, and permeated the hearts of all the bloody riders, shrouding their hearts.
Twelve of the seventeen bloody riders rode out one after another, looking at the remaining five people. The five people also looked at them silently. In the sound of Buterne's painful cry from afar, they looked at each other with tears in their eyes, but they didn't say a word. they didn't know what to say.
Before becoming the most elite seventeen bloody riders, they were comrades-in-arms who relied on each other. After that, they had gone through life and death together countless times. Blood was already thicker than water. At this moment, they were about to be separated by the line of fire. From then on, they would go their separate ways, and from then on, they would be strangers.
That kind of unwillingness, that kind of pain, only they knew, others could never understand, but they couldn't make the decision. They were just puppets thrown around by this cruel world. All the reluctance, resistance, and discomfort could only be reflected in their eyes when they said goodbye to each other. They knew that the other party understood what they meant, so they didn't need to speak, let alone persuade the other party. They respected the choice of their old friends. They wanted to maintain the last dignity for their old friends, for themselves and for their old friends. Others didn't care, but they cared.
There was no road that was closer to the line of fire today. The twelve blood cavalries finally crossed the line of fire. They no longer looked back, nor did they cry like Buterne. Instead, they whipped their horses fiercely and sped up. The loud whipping sound seemed to break everyone's heart.
Behind them, one figure after another, they left the long line of vampires' frontlines and galloped across the long burning line of fire. They followed the silhouette and galloped on the warhorses, stirring up clouds of smoke and dust. Under the moonlight, they looked like countless galloping dragons.
…
The other thousands of blood cavalries didn't know what to do. They all looked at their leader or other people. Even those old vampires were a little dumbfounded at this time. They didn't expect Chu Yunsheng to do this. According to their original thoughts, even if Chu Yunsheng was real, they had thousands of blood cavalries. Even if Chu Yunsheng was angry, he wouldn't dare to do anything.
They knew very well what kind of strength Chu Yunsheng had when he was on Earth, and they had also speculated his current strength with the worst case scenario. But it was impossible for him to fight against the vampires who were much more powerful than they used to be.
Therefore, the most likely situation was that Chu Yunsheng would either retreat or fight for a while to vent his anger. In the end, there was no hope of winning, so he still had to retreat. If Buterne cooperated well, they might be able to kill him here once and for all. After all, no matter from which aspect, "reason" and "justice" were on their side.
In fact, when they discussed in the internal private meeting, they were more inclined to Chu Yunsheng being the first one to make a move, and then they could use the excuse of righteousness to confirm Chu Yunsheng's fake identity. Regardless of whether there were any remnants of blood cavalries loyal to Chu Yunsheng, they wouldn't be able to do anything. After they killed or drove Chu Yunsheng away, those people would naturally either return to their side or slowly disappear.
But they didn't expect that Chu Yunsheng would draw a long line of fire so insidiously, which suddenly pushed all the Bloody Cavalry into a situation where they had no choice but to split up. The most terrible thing was that time was too tight. Once this line of fire was drawn, no one knew who would follow him, and no one knew which side the people around them were going to stand on.
The final result was that no one dared to stop the blood cavalries who left the front line and crossed the line of fire, because no one knew whether the people around him would also cross the line of fire in the next moment, and whether they would stab themselves in the back!
At this time, no one was a fool. For the blood cavalries who were in danger, having no side was the best position.
Therefore, no one dared to stop them!
Even the older members of the Blood Clan, whose faces were getting more and more gloomy, could only look on coldly, not daring to move. Although they really, really, really wanted to order the army to eliminate all the traitors, no one dared to give such an order.
It was not that they were afraid of Chu Yunsheng's own combat power, but they knew very well that the vampires who had just experienced a civil strife were now in the most panic and suspicious of each other. That vicious Chu Yunsheng sensitively took advantage of this point. A line of fire would push people's hearts to the darkest and most terrible edge. Once the battle started, the result would inevitably be chaos, and even collapse. In the eyes of every blood cavalries, anyone would be a traitor who might want to kill them! In order to protect themselves, anyone would be crazy.
This was called shooting oneself in the foot. They could only watch the blood cavalries cross the line of fire one after another. Their hearts were bleeding, but there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, there were not too many people who left. It was always sporadic, which made the old vampires feel a little comforted. But they were indeed defeated today. In the future, as long as Chu Yunsheng proved that he was the immortal king, they would fall into an extremely embarrassing and disadvantageous position. After all, they had always been fighting against Ashe under the banner of the immortal king. In the end, they either had to admit that Ashe was right, or admit that they were wrong today.
In the distance, under the gazes of all the remaining Blood Tribe members, the northern plains were filled with scattered dust and smoke. However, the direction of the dust and smoke was always the figure in the lead, as well as the "new king's flag" in the hands of the twelve Blood Riders behind him. The tattered flag was undulating as the warhorses galloped forward ….
Although most of the blood cavalries stayed, at this moment, for some reason, they suddenly felt that they had lost something, as if they had lost an important part of their lives. And in front of those figures who were galloping north, there seemed to be an incomparably wonderful world. It might be thrilling, it might be full of danger, but it was glorious!
Life, fate, from then on, was divided into two by that line of fire.
*****
Just when Chu Yunsheng was riding the horse towards the north, the beautiful woman in the floating city that was thousands of miles away finally suppressed the last trace of the remaining "poison". The redness on her face finally subsided, and her breathing also calmed down a lot. She returned to her original calm appearance.
But in her heart, she was surprised. She had a noble birth and a lofty status as one of the Three Feathers. She had always been extremely proud. Otherwise, she would not have looked down on King Aeris. It had been a long time since she had lost her composure like this. She could not understand why a life that had not even reached the level of Cardinal, with just a little bit of blood brought by the blade, could make her Cardinal body feel irresistible.
Of course, when she returned to her residence in the floating city, she could easily use the cardinal power to remove this "poison", but she did not do so. In order to study this "poison", she would rather choose to spend a lot of time to suppress it, compress it into a very small area, and closely monitor and observe it.
Without the cardinal power, this method could not be done.
For the sake of "safety", she was going to check the ancient books first, especially the part about the fall, and then study this poison. The moment she got up, she suddenly found that her power had strangely increased a little without warning. Although it was only a little, she felt it very clearly. Because after the cardinal level, the growth of every drop of power and the control of energy were extremely difficult. She was very familiar and clear about the level of her power.
This was simply incredible!
She immediately stopped and checked her surroundings. The increase in strength must have something to do with the poison from before, but when she reopened the poison that was under control, a phenomenon that puzzled her appeared. The poison was disappearing at an incredible speed, or more accurately, dissipating.
The power of dissipation, even with her cardinal power, she could not stop it! It was almost the power of nature, and it had nothing to do with the size of the poison energy. It was as if it could not be tolerated, or should have belonged to nature.
As the third Feather of the Heavenly Feather Clan, one of the three cardinals, she also had her own cardinal's unique ability. What was happening in front of her was too strange. Coincidentally, she used her own unique ability to catch up to the poison that was about to disappear, and then —
She "saw" something that she could not believe in her entire life!
Following the poison, she seemed to enter a long and constantly growing blood-colored chain. At the top of the chain, her consciousness was instantly sucked in. Suddenly, a cold, rotten aura hit her face.
A moment later, after countless lines twisted, she regained her vision. She saw that in front of her, a creature covered in pitch-black armor with black wings spread open on its back, its body covered in blood, fiercely shooting down from the sky. Behind it, an incomparably huge figure collapsed with a loud bang, the huge head that had been pierced through was under its feet.
It held a long pitch-black spear in its hand, like black lightning, indestructible and unstoppable! Just by standing there, without looking at her, she could not help but tremble. This power was something she could not understand. It seemed to be the power of a god.
She bent down and wanted to lie down in fear. The pair of black wings pierced into the depths of her soul, almost making her think that she had seen the god of the sky!
However, from the beginning until the end, it didn't even spare a glance at her, and its gaze was always cold, murderous, indifferent, and emotionless. But if she dared to raise her head and observe carefully, she would notice a trace of anxiousness and uneasiness in this gaze, and it seemed to be worried about something.
At that moment, she noticed that not far away, there were a few creatures that had already crossed the Source Gate cautiously poking their heads out, appearing in her path of attack. Just as she was shocked by how many Source Gate creatures there were, she heard a voice that she would never forget for the rest of her life.
It said, "Scram!"
Thus, the creatures that had crossed the Source Gate immediately felt as if they had been pardoned. Without caring about their image, they scrambled to escape.
Those who were slightly slower turned into a cloud of dust amidst the rolling sound that sounded like sharp swords ….
She was also "rolled" out, and the trace of poison disappeared. However, this time, she was no longer surprised. Instead, she was trembling endlessly with fear and fear!
Just now, those were the creatures of the Source Gate. One "roll" and they fled in all directions as if they were afraid that they would not make it in time. One "roll" and those that were half a step slower immediately turned into dust!?
Was it an illusion? Was it an ancient memory? Or was it a real god?
She found that she could not stand up. Her legs were trembling and weak. It was not because she was scared, but because of the residual power of the sound.
Suddenly, she realized something. She looked at the place where she had encountered that person, and a terrifying thought appeared in her mind. A disaster was coming, a real disaster was coming!
What should I do? What should I do!?
At this moment, the maid outside the door whispered, "Mayor, Big Long Feather has sent an urgent message for you."
She was even more shocked. Did Big Long Feather discover something? What should I do? What should I do? Should I say it?
*****
These two chapters were originally one chapter, but after I finished writing it, I found that I couldn't put down one chapter, so I had to split it into two chapters. I like the scene where Buterne cried bitterly after crossing the line of fire. It was just like the feeling when she left the campus full of various ideals and left the first company she worked for … Of course, I like Dark's "Scram" even more.
