On the 4th of July, a white messenger bird landed lightly in the Tianji Palace and immediately set off a wave.
…
Yang Shang did not step onto the path of diabolism. With a letter stuck in his hand, he looked at the officials in the court and said, "Lin Muyu's 250,000 troops have already taken over Scorching Cold City. Now that the vanguard has turned around, they have already arrived at the Fire Element Province. They could deal a fatal blow to Chen Yu at any time. Chen Yu has sent a letter of credence, agreeing to become a vassal. What do you think?"
The ministers were silent. After a long while, Xun Xi said, "Your Majesty, the momentum of Qin State is overwhelming. If our Kingdom of Shang does not send reinforcements to Chen Yu, I'm afraid the next country to be destroyed will be us."
"Who said that?!"
In the crowd, the leader of the generals, Wu Chang, said in a low voice, "Chen Yu is a fickle villain. Even if we save his life, he will still bite us fiercely next time. Why should we save such a villain?"
Xun Xi said, "Marshal is right. But … times have changed. Our two countries must join forces. Otherwise, it will be impossible for us to win. The current Qin State is too strong!"
"Your Majesty!"
Wu Chang looked at Yangshang and said, "Do you really have the heart to send these brothers from the Divine Realm to Huoyuan City to die?"
Yangshang took a deep breath and asked, "Marshal Wu Chang, what is your opinion?"
Wu Chang frowned and paused for a while. Finally, he braced himself and said, "It is said that Lin Muyu has comprehended the power of Saint Martial of Mahayana Heavenly Way. It can fully stimulate the potential of a cultivator. Under the power of Lin Muyu's Saint Martial, those people from the 64 domains have regained their divine power. There are tens of thousands of people in the 64 domains under Lin Muyu's command. Once he uses the power of Saint Martial, how can we resist? In my opinion, why don't … "
"Marshal, please speak!"
"Yes!" Wu Shang cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please immediately send an army to Eastcalm Province and block the escape route of the Heaven's End Corps to the north. Then, write a letter to Qin Yin. Say … say that the Shang Nation is willing to surrender, but I hope that Your Majesty can be rewarded with a city so that our Celestial Race soldiers can rest, cultivate, and gain insight into the Mahayana Heavenly Dao.
"Then, Wu Chang said sincerely," Your Majesty, we are gods and should not participate in the war of the human world. Why do we have to get involved in this muddy water?
At this time, Dora, who was standing beside Yangshang, said with a ruthless expression, "Wu Chang, are you going to betray the country? We still have hundreds of thousands of troops, why should we wag our tails and beg for mercy to that bitch Xiyin!? "
Wu Chang immediately said sternly, "Shut up you whore. If it wasn't for you inciting His Majesty, how could we have ended up in this situation? Don't you see, the Xiyin you speak of is none other than the graceful goddess of Mahayana Heavenly Way. She is in charge of the new order of Mahayana Heavenly Way. And you … Who do you think you are? Do you still want to rely on your Peach Blossom Spring that is riddled with holes to trap our army in a desperate situation? "
Yangshang frowned deeply, but he couldn't say a word. He didn't want to wag his tail and beg for mercy, but Wu Chang was right. Victory and defeat were already decided. There was no way for them to contend with Lin Muyu's Qin Empire.
However, what made Yangshang truly despair was that Wu Chang had already become timid under Lin Muyu's holy martial power. A superior demon god had already surrendered before the battle even started. The final capital and trump card of the Kingdom of Shang no longer existed.
"Forget it …"
Yangshang stood up and said, "We are originally people of the Realm of Gods. We shouldn't be stirring up trouble in this mortal world. Just do as Marshal Wu Chang said, write a letter of surrender to Lin Muyu. Don't reinforce Chen Yu's troops."
"Yes!" Everyone was overjoyed.
Only Dora looked unhappy. Originally, her biggest goal in throwing herself into Yangshang's arms was revenge, revenge on Qin Yin. But only now did she realize how wrong she was. Yangshang was simply a useless villain. He had neither ambition nor courage. Once he lost his power, he would become a coward.
… …
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. The sound of drums shook the heavens in the Huoyuan Province. The 250,000 troops led by Lin Muyu had already set up camp 30 li away from Huoyuan City. Inside the city, Chen Yu's troops were on guard. Chen Yu was more ambitious than Yangshang. He planned to stake everything on this one throw. He didn't decide to surrender. After all, he didn't have a path of retreat, but Yangshang did.
In the evening, there was still no movement in the distance.
Chen Yu stood on top of the city gate tower, looking at the distant forest, and said, "Why … why hasn't Lin Muyu attacked the city yet?"
"Their army is tired. They should be resting and reorganizing, right?"
Wei Qiyang cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's windy outside. Shall we go back?"
"Yes."
Just as Chen Yu turned around and was about to leave, the soldiers on the tower suddenly shouted, "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking! Hurry up and sound the alarm! "
The sharp sound of gongs rang out and quickly spread throughout the city. The beacon on the city gate tower also lit up.
Sure enough, a large group of people flew over from the distant sky. They were all Immortal State experts who could fly, holding the Purple Yinhua Imperial Flag of the Qin Empire. At the forefront of the group was Lin Muyu, who held the Saint Martial Power in her left hand and the Xuanyuan Sword in her right.
"They're here, they're finally here …"
Chen Yu took a few steps back and said, "All heavy cannons, firearms, and crossbows, aim at the sky and prepare to defend against the enemy!"
"Yes!"
Wei Qiyang quickly pulled out his sword and shouted, "Brothers, prepare to face the enemy!"
…
The sound of cannons continued, and the cannonballs turned into sparks and bombarded in front of Lin Muyu. However, they could not hurt a single member of the Dragon League. Almost all the cannonballs hit a huge shield condensed by a blood-red thunderbolt. It was a protective wall that Lin Muyu had condensed, and it was enough to withstand a round of fierce attacks from the enemy. He stood majestically in the air and looked indifferently at Chen Yu and the others.
Suddenly, he raised his left hand, and the sky suddenly darkened, and countless stars fell!
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The city wall was pierced, and the earth trembled and cracked. The city wall that was hundreds of meters tall was almost destroyed in an instant. Nearly half of the tower where Chen Yu was was also collapsed. The guards in the city were in a mess. They rushed out through the gate, but they could not find the enemy. All the enemies were in the air, and they were not within the attack range of the cavalry.
Lin Muyu withdrew his hand and said indifferently, "Chen Yu, are you still not going to stop? Do you want your Heaven's End Corps to be completely annihilated? "
Wei Qiyang raised his sword and roared, "Lin Muyu, you bastard! If you have the guts, fight us to the death. Why do you have to act so condescending?"
Lin Muyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Wei Chou, kill him."
"Yes, Marshal!"
The bowstring twanged, and a ray of light pierced through Wei Qiyang's heart. With a bang, the Sun Shooting Arrow pierced through Wei Qiyang's body and penetrated the stone floor of the tower with great force. Wei Qiyang stood there in shock, the longsword in his hand still trembling, and his face pale as he knelt on the ground. His life force was rapidly draining away.
"Marshal Wei!"
Chen Yu felt a pain in his heart.
Lin Muyu carried the Xuanyuan Sword and slowly landed on the tower. He looked straight at Chen Yu and suddenly shouted, "Surrender, you have no way out … As for the rest of you, why aren't you kneeling?!"
Under his rebuke, the group of Captaincy of the Heaven's End Corps knelt one after another. Although it was said that men should kneel, there was a saying that it was better to live than to die well.
"Hahahaha …"
Chen Yu laughed, and his laughter was incomparably melancholic. "I didn't expect that I, Chen Yu, would be defeated so thoroughly. I didn't expect that my Celestial Empire would be destroyed in such a way …"
Lin Muyu also laughed. "A year ago, when Yangshang took over Tianji City, your country was already destroyed. Now, it is only struggling at death's door."
Chen Yu said, "How do you plan to deal with me?"
"You know it very well."
Lin Muyu raised his hand. "All surrendered generals, listen up. Immediately leave the city and surrender. Put down your weapons and accept the incorporation of the Qin Army. We will not kill any captives."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"
Everyone knelt again.
…
By evening, the 200,000 soldiers of the Heaven's End Corps in Huoyuan City had all surrendered and entered the prisoner camp. Wei Chou led 100,000 elites of the Longdan Army Camp into Huoyuan City, and Chen Yu also took off his dragon robe. At this point, the Celestial Empire was officially destroyed.
At night, in the palace hall of Huoyuan City, the surrender and conferring ceremony were carried out at the same time.
All the surrendered generals were promoted by one rank. Deputy Commander was promoted to Commander, and Captaincy was promoted to Deputy Commander. All of them were nominal positions. Although they were given salaries, their military power had been deprived, and the command of all the troops was under the control of Wei Chou. This surrendered Heaven's End Corps was replaced with the officers and soldiers of the Qin Empire, starting from the centurion. The whole army was divided into four corps to guard different areas, in case of any accidents.
After all the generals were rewarded, they retreated one after another. Only Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, Tang Xiaoxi, Wei Chou, Situ Sen, and the emperor of the Celestial Empire, Chen Yu, were left in the hall.
At this time, Chen Yu's hair was disheveled, and his dragon robe and armor were stripped off. He stood there with a pale face, looking straight at Lin Muyu, and said, "The Heaven's End Corps has been replaced by you, and the military power of all the old generals of the Celestial Empire has been taken away by you. What's the next step? Is it the turn to deal with me, the emperor? What are you going to do? Give me the title of Marquis Anle and let me live the rest of my life in a small town on the border? "
"No, you don't have the right to live the rest of your life there."
Lin Muyu placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes burning. "From the moment Xu Jiantao died in battle, you lost the possibility of a good death. I once swore to Xu Jiantao's spirit in heaven that I would not let you live."
"You!"
Chen Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Just because I plotted to kill Xu Jiantao?"
"No, it's not just that."
Lin Muyu looked around at the people in the hall and said, "Chen Yu, you are a smart man, all of us are smart men. Your Chen Family has ruled the Celestial Empire for so long, and has long been deeply rooted. The 14 provinces of the Celestial Empire are so vast, if you don't die, there will always be people who will rebel in your name, and come to suppress me. You are also one of the reasons why you must die."
"Then … what about my descendants? Can you spare their lives? "
"No." Lin Muyu said softly, "You must wipe out the entire clan, and not a single member of the Chen Family can dream of surviving."
"You executioner!" Chen Yu looked at her hatefully.
Lin Muyu smiled. "Yes, I am an executioner … but the people of the future will praise me for my merits, and you? You are just a scheming ruler of a subjugated kingdom. "
This sentence was enough to make Chen Yu collapse, and his entire body trembled. "Lin Muyu … why are you doing this!?"
Lin Muyu raised her eyebrows and said, "If I lose, how will you treat me? Could it be that you will spare my life? "
"I won't."
"That's right, the winner takes all, and it has always been like this. In the hearts of you and your subordinates, I am a bad person, a very bad person, but so what? I have not let down the common people, and I have not let down the people of the world. Chen Yu, what do you think history is like? "
Chen Yu said blankly, "History … history is compiled by the people of the future … who can see the true appearance of history?"
"Yes, you are right. History is like a whore, and it is rotated by the bad people of every era. "
Lin Muyu slowly unsheathed her sword, and with a clang, she handed it to Chen Yu and said, "Use my sword to send you on your last journey. I hope you have a good journey, and don't ever be reborn into an imperial family in your next life."
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and blankly, "What about you?"
"After unifying the three countries, I will retreat in the face of the crisis, and leave the torrent of power."
"You … are indeed much more brilliant than me."
"It's not brilliant, it's just that you haven't gotten over it."
"Then goodbye, Lin Muyu. May we be friends in our next lives, not enemies."
Lin Muyu nodded and turned around, unable to bear to see the state of Chen Yu's death.
…
A spray of blood flew, and Chen Yu fell to the ground.
An emperor of a generation had fallen just like that.
