Hou Qing!
Chapter 772: Hou Qing
The moment her nine tails spread open, snowflakes fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, the sacred land of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, which was perpetually cold all year round, became a world of ice and snow.
The wind was bone-chilling, and when combined with her emotionless words, everyone couldn't help but shiver.
Su Liu 'er.
Although the ley line had appeared, she still hadn't reached the Immortal King level.
Even so, Ye Zichen couldn't help but use the surrounding spiritual energy to ward off the cold.
If a half-step Immortal King was already like this, then what would it be like if she broke through?
"I didn't expect to see a descendant of the primordial divine beast, the Nine-tailed Fox, here. Nine-tailed, ice-type … This kind of bloodline is rare even in primordial times."
Lady Providence smiled at Su Liu 'er's empress-like gaze, and a hint of reminiscence surfaced in her eyes.
"During the Great War of Gods and Demons, only the dragons and the Nine-tailed Fox clan were able to stand on the God Realm's side.
"The dragons poured their blood, sweat, and tears into creating a supreme divine artifact that even now, they are still unable to surpass, the Xuan-Yuan Sword. Back then, the ancestor of the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan used her own strength to repel more than a hundred Sages of the Devil Race, and even killed three Sovereigns. However, the ancestor also perished in that battle, and the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was almost completely exterminated. Only the glory of their clan remained in the God Realm, and not even their shadow could be seen.
"Now that I'm able to witness the heroic bearing of a descendant of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan, it's truly a blessing."
…
"It's Houqing's honor to be able to fight someone of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan."
A bony man stood in front of Su Liu 'er. He wore a thick suit of armor, as if he'd been a battle-hardened general when he was alive.
"Houqing."
Up in the sky, Ye Zichen suddenly froze. A memory surfaced involuntarily in his mind.
In a canyon filled with rubble, a group of soldiers dressed in beast skins sat on the ground, all of them bathed in blood.
They'd lost.
In the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the invincible Yellow Emperor had lost.
The soldiers' faces were filled with unwillingness. They couldn't accept their defeat.
"My Lord, this subordinate requests to fight."
A burly man, who was armed to the teeth, walked out. He took off his helmet and knelt on one knee. His tone was sincere.
"Houqing …"
"My lord! This subordinate does not accept this battle, and our soldiers do not accept this. I hope that the Ruler will allow this subordinate to lead the soldiers to kill their way out. Even if we die in battle, we will not hesitate! "
"My lord!"
Almost as soon as Houqing finished speaking, all the soldiers in the valley stood up and shouted.
Sensing the determination of the soldiers around him, the Yellow Emperor's gaze sharpened. He gritted his teeth and stood up.
"Houqing, heed my command!"
"Don't …" Ye Zichen, who was immersed in his memories, suddenly muttered. However, history continued to progress. "This sovereign orders you to lead three thousand soldiers and repel Chiyou!"
"This subordinate understands!"
Houqing did not hesitate at all when he put on his helmet. The soldiers in the canyon did not hesitate either.
He resolutely walked out of the canyon.
"Don't go, don't go …"
Ye Zichen, who was watching the memories as an outsider, continuously shouted. However, Houqing, who was walking at the very front, did not hear him at all. He did not stop and continued to face the enemy with a gaze that seemed as if he was going to die.
Day and night changed.
Three days passed by in the blink of an eye. The Yellow Emperor waited in the canyon for news of Houqing's triumphant return.
He never thought that Houqing would fail. Back then, Houqing was a brave and skilled general that the Yellow Emperor was most proud of.
However …
"My lord!"
A shrill cry shattered the Yellow Emperor's dreams. A soldier on the verge of death had a bone-deep wound as he stumbled onto the ground.
"My lord, run!"
"Someone, hurry up and treat his wounds!" The Yellow Emperor shouted in the valley. Not long later, several elders with medical boxes hurried over, only to be stopped by the soldier. "My lord, don't worry about me. Hurry up and run. Chiyou and co. are going to catch up soon."
"Then … Where's Houqing?"
"The general … died in battle," the soldier's tone was filled with sorrow. The soldier's tone was mournful as he said, "I don't know where Chiyou found dozens of brothers with strong bodies. General Houqing was no match for them and died in battle."
"What?"
The Yellow Emperor's legs gave way, and the people around him rushed to support him. The soldier also used his last breath to shout.
"Jun Shang, run!"
"My Lord, Chiyou's people are already heading towards our base," a scout reported. The Yellow Emperor's eyes were bloodshot. "Let's fight them to the death."
"My lord, it's too irrational to fight with Chiyou now. I hope my lord will reconsider."
"Lord, please reconsider!"
The civil officials in the valley all tried to persuade him. The Yellow Emperor's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them. He slapped himself hard in the face.
"Houqing risked his life to kill enemies for me when he was alive, but in the end, I couldn't even collect his corpse. Chiyou, my Xuanyuan Clan is irreconcilable with you! "
The Yellow Emperor took a deep breath and glanced at the remaining soldiers.
"Retreat."
The dream was shattered.
Ye Zichen didn't know when, but two clear streams of tears streamed down his cheeks. Lady Providence merely smiled at him. When she sensed that he'd returned to his senses, she spoke.
"What did you think of?"
"No." Ye Zichen shook his head and wiped away his tears. "What's the situation now?"
"Although she has the bloodline of a primordial divine beast, and can grow nine tails, this is not the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of the past. But in the end, this was not the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan of the past. She did not understand this clan's secret arts at all. Apart from the almost extreme power of ice, there was nothing else. Right now, she is indeed suppressing that man with her sharp spiritual techniques, but she will lose. "
Su Liu 'er, who had been suppressing Houqing the entire time, suddenly fell backwards and coughed up mouthfuls of blood. She glared hatefully at the skinny man in front of her.
"Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox, even that little girl couldn't do anything to me back then. What can you do?"
Houqing snorted disdainfully, then slowly walked towards Su Liu 'er with a playful look on his face.
"Rumor has it that the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is devastatingly beautiful. I'll give you a chance. Become my concubine, and I can guarantee that the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox Clan will stand tall for ten thousand years. How about it? "
"You?" Su Liu 'er laughed coldly.
"It seems like you're unwilling. Since you're unwilling, then I won't force you. Although this Prince takes pity on your face, if you agree, you can only die. "
"Dammit!" Ye Zichen wanted to help her without any hesitation, but Lady Providence grabbed his arm. "If this karma sticks to you, then your path of ascension will become even more difficult. You have to think this through … Some karma cannot be touched."
