Chapter 2164: Chapter 226: Executing Senior Officials (Part 2)
Cautious as he was, he left a reserve camp of several thousand men to respond to the complexities of the battlefield at any time — although in his view, there would be no significant changes!
Though the Qi Army’s forces are less, its momentum has prevailed!
When the Qi Xia army finally engaged in battle.
Jiang Wang’s sword was already closing in on Zhou Xiong.
Once at the Mountain and Sea Realm, there was already an experience of besieging a God Descending Realm expert. Today, with the sword slaying Yisheng Feng, the old debt repaid, intentions fulfilled without omission. This heart, this momentum, this intention, was exactly in an unprecedented state of brilliance.
He had no reason to restrain this sword!
Therefore, on this frosty night, clad in a blue robe, stepping through the flying snow, he unleashed a sword like a mountain’s collapse!
The attack was the extreme of sword momentum, absolute summit sword intent.
Even someone like Zhou Xiong, a God Descending Realm cultivator with a golden frame and jade marrow, could not ignore such a sword.
In the fierce confrontation with Yan Po, he flipped his large sleeve, textual energy surged like a silver snake, then intertwined and forged, forming a silver snow coil snake-engraved seal.
This seal engraved four characters, left says "Serve the Nation," right says "Define the Law."
With a raise of his hand, the order seal had already fallen, reciting —
"No distinction between kin and strangers, no difference between noble and base, all judged by law!"
His spiritual sense domain expanded, encompassing Yan Po, Jiang Wang, and even himself.
Using Confucianism to execute the legal order, it was indeed exceedingly effective.
Flight restrained, movement restrained, sword drawing restrained, even the flow of the Path Origin, everything must follow a unified rule.
Everyone in this spiritual field was subjected to equal suppression. Excluding Zhou Xiong’s own privileges made this rule particularly powerful.
Equality in this sense was also an unfairness to the weaker.
Under uniform rule and suppression, the gap between strength and weakness widened even more.
This move could minimize the impact of Jiang Wang’s participation, especially since Zhou Xiong was already wounded — in the reckless battle, both he and Yan Po had suffered considerable injuries.
Two Godly cultivators with golden frame and jade marrow had their defenses breached more than once.
For Zhou Xiong, with his mediocre ability to lead troops, being able to single-handedly hold off military cultivator Yan Po on the battlefield was undoubtedly a profitable venture. Therefore, he was unhesitant to risk his life against Yan Po.
But the opportunity he fought for... was seized by Jiang Wang!
While he was engaging Yan Po, if Yisheng Feng and Chu Min were not so confident, if these two could withstand a few more rounds, this ambush would have still held a favorable direction.
But the fight on Jiang Wang’s side ended too quickly! After Jiang Wang successively slew two geniuses, Zhongxuan Sheng then demonstrated superb troop-leading ability, the balance of the war started to tilt —
Although Xia’s forces had the advantage, with the suppression of the Nine Sons Surrounding Mountain Formation. Yet the Qi Army was as mighty as a rainbow, and those surrendering soldiers and generals did not, as expected, rally to the call of Xia and rebel. Instead, led by the surrendering generals with Xue Rushi at the forefront, they mustered a life-risking momentum.
Seeing the Qi Army darting through with the beauty of seamless battle formations... Zhou Xiong’s confidence in Wei Guangyao and others was no longer as firm.
Just as Jiang Wang regarded him as a breakthrough point now, he also realized that perhaps his position was the only pivotal opportunity!
If he could kill Jiang Wang, he could break the high morale of the Qi Army. If he could kill Yan Po, no one on this battlefield could stop him. Even if he had to sacrifice himself for this...
he could bring the battlefield to its conclusion.
Therefore, as Jiang Wang’s sword struck, he was not just risking life and death, but with his golden frame and jade marrow body, he was ready for sacrifice!
People in desperate situations, facing death with magnanimity.
The present was not his desperate situation, hence courage was even more needed.
Compared to those below the God Descending Realm, the fundamental difference for a God Descending Realm cultivator was, of course, the leap in the essence of life, the alteration of lifespan. The most direct manifestation was in the golden frame and jade marrow, and in the spiritual sense.
The golden frame and jade marrow was the qualitative transformation of the flesh, spiritual sense was the leap of divine soul strength.
This is referred to as the "Heavenly Human Separation!"
For God Descending Realm cultivators, within the range grasped by spiritual sense, non-God Descending cultivators have scarcely any secrets.
Within the domain constructed by spiritual sense, God Descending Realm cultivators are as True Gods descending to the world!
The so-called spiritual sense domain, to the cultivator, in some sense could almost equate to the deity’s God Kingdom. Yue Tiannu’s demonstration of Pure Land at the Mountain and Sea Realm was one form of manifestation.
At this moment, Zhou Xiong’s spiritual sense domain unfolding, within a thirty-zhang range, entirely enveloped by his will. Within this domain, only his rules could take effect, only his decrees could be conveyed, Jiang Wang immediately found it arduous to make a move!
The sky-full flying snow, unable to fall within this thirty-zhang spiritual domain.
The Sword that Tilted the Mountain intruded, its fierce momentum first slowed by thirty percent.
Simultaneously, he pointed like a sword, distantly indicating — "A gentleman stands not under a perilous wall!"
Then the power of the spiritual domain surged, like clouds spreading, forming a black tiger head guillotine representing majesty!
The guillotine mouth opened wide, sharp and forbidding, imbued with inescapable legal power.
This guillotine punishes Senior Officials!
No matter how exceptional your talents are, no matter how boundless your power is, before this blade, none are innocent; both civil servants and military commanders shall perish!
A gentleman does not stand against a perilous wall; this is the rule Zhou Xiong set for his Spiritual Field at this moment.
This tiger-head blade originates from the Legalists’ extraordinary Dao Technique of the Yellow Grade.
Walls of danger are everywhere, where will you stand?
There should be no place to stand!
Jiang Wang couldn’t move forward, couldn’t retreat, and for a moment, had no place to turn his feet, only to wait helplessly for the tiger-head blade to fall!
Speaking of it, Jiang Wang had both the dragon and tiger, and the Flame Flower Burning City, none of which were inferior in grade to this tiger-head blade, but the displayed power was not the same.
Only by being divinely bright can the transformation of the Dao Technique be fully exhausted. When the essence of life takes a leap, the Dao Technique can truly transcend the four classes and twelve ranks.
Zhou Xiong almost mobilized more than half of the power of his Spiritual Field to suppress Jiang Wang, and then used extraordinary Dao Technique to attack, which obviously affected his battle with Yan Po.
When targeting Jiang Wang with the rule "A gentleman does not stand against a perilous wall," Yan Po took a swipe, almost severing his arm.
But when he was maneuvering the tiger-head blade to decisively chop Jiang Wang—
Yan Po had no choice but to also unfold his own Spiritual Field, remotely helping Jiang Wang out.
This is precisely what Zhou Xiong wanted!
Rescuing is certainly more difficult than killing.
Will clashes, Spiritual Fields invade each other. Initially evenly matched, yet they instantly showed the difference. Jiang Wang thus gained freedom, while Yan Po took a hard hit, causing the Primordial God Sea to tremble!
Zhou Xiong’s battle intent was very clear.
He wanted to turn Jiang Wang, who participated in the God Arrives battle, into a burden for Yan Po!
You, Yan Po, are from a small country in the Eastern Region, dare you to overlook the death of Qi Country’s genius? Are you afraid of post-war accountability?
Anyone who becomes a Divine Presence, how could they be simple?
He started with their identities and immediately forced out such a flaw that isn’t really a flaw.
But at this moment, Jiang Wang suddenly spoke—
"General Yan need not care about me, life or death on the battlefield is dictated by fate, I have my own enlightenment!"
Though not as arrogant as Dou Zhao, nor as perfection-pursuing as Chongxuan Zun, his true heart is equally proud, how can he allow himself to become a burden?
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Xiong’s battle intent appeared, he immediately voiced.
With his words, Yan Po naturally could fiercely strive to kill, regardless of the outcome of this battle, he can blame nothing on Yan Po.
At this moment, outside his body, a splendid Fire Realm unfolded, briefly resisting Zhou Xiong’s Spiritual Field. Within the Fire Realm, Flame Flower Burning City fell!
Boom!
The tiger-head blade sliced opened the Fire Realm, cleaving Flame Flower Burning City, but was held by a Longsword.
The grand Human Dao momentum rolls in, people under heaven, cannot be killed!
The Sword holding up the tiger-head blade!
In the shattered dignity of the Legalists, Jiang Wang faced Zhou Xiong, a sword across his brow!
Thus thousands of sword silks have become snow, slashing out Frosty Snow Bright!
Just out of danger, yet into peril.
He feared not, boldly laughed: "General Yan, shall we wager with two jars of Luming. See if you get to kill this man first, or if this man kills me first!"
The fine wine from Deer Frost County in Qi Country, renowned worldwide. The "Xunlin" series especially, popular in Linzi, naturally pursued by various Eastern Region countries. Among them, a masterpiece named Luming, only produces twenty jars annually. Young Master Yan drinks this most often.
At this moment, strands of endlessly tangled sword qi clash with Spiritual Sense.
His young laughter, confident and carefree, penetrates the snow lingering outside the Spiritual Field, as if singing under the moon.
Yan Po couldn’t help but feel moved.
Laughter over life and death, wagering with lives.
Such is the true essence of the God Arrives situation.
How heroic!
No wonder Lin Jie from the Star Moon Plain, mentions Jiang Wang, full of praise.
If all the geniuses of Qi Country were like this, wouldn’t the empire last another thousand years?!
At this moment truly not to care about how Jiang Wang fares, he swings a blade, enveloping Zhou Xiong!
"Then I’ll bet with you, let us see if my family’s blade rusts!"
