High above in the vault of heaven, a figure stepped through the clouds, arriving with the speed of lightning!
Wherever he passed, the dark clouds retreated, carving out a radiant path of light!
Like a blazing sun, he dispelled the darkness and brought hope!
Clad in dragon-patterned battle armor, he exuded a majestic, heavy, and domineering aura!
His black hair flew in the wind, his presence vast and tyrannical. With eyes like lightning, he looked down upon all living beings!
It was as if all creation in heaven and earth should bow at his feet!
Soldiers, your Emperor... has returned!
Qingshan City fell into a dead silence!
Everyone's pupils shrank violently as they stared at that figure in disbelief.
Especially Huang Hansheng.
His entire body trembled, and two streams of hot tears rolled down his face.
That silhouette had appeared in his memories countless times. It was etched deep into his soul!
Great General!!!
Huang Hansheng roared, his voice like thunder. His exhausted body erupted with astonishing strength as he abruptly dropped to one knee, slamming his fist heavily onto the ground!
Spiderweb-like cracks fractured across the bluestone bricks.
This voice exploded like a heaven-shaking thunderbolt, awakening everyone!
One by one, the soldiers looked up at the sky with fanatical devotion, their blood boiling.
Tears flowed freely as they were overcome with wild joy!
It is His Majesty! His Majesty has come!
Our Emperor is here!
We pay our respects to His Majesty!
Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long, long live!
The uniform, thunderous voices resounded through the sky, shaking heaven and earth!
Morale was instantly reversed!
Not only the Qingshan City army but also the two hundred thousand Qin soldiers, upon seeing Qin Xiao, all dropped to one knee and shouted, Long live His Majesty.
Xiao Xuance sat on his horse, staring at Qin Xiao with a dumbfounded expression.
The smugness on his face froze and shattered inch by inch!
It was replaced by shock and disbelief!
Wang Xuerou's pretty face twisted, her eyes bulging in disbelief.
It was simply like a bolt from the blue!
How could this be?
How could Qin Xiao appear?
How could he, the dignified Emperor, appear all alone at the border!
Was Qin Xiao not afraid of death?
I did not expect you to arrive so quickly!
Xiao Xuance took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the unease in his heart.
In his estimation, it would take Qin Xiao at least five days to reach Qingshan City.
But it had only been three days!
Qin Xiao looked down at Xiao Xuance indifferently, his eyes naturally carrying the domineering aura of one who looked down upon the world.
Seeing Us and not kneeling, what is your crime!
A vast, oppressive might roared like thunder and poured down!
Xiao Xuance's body trembled, his horse neighed, and he involuntarily fell to his knees!
Bang!
The earth shook, and dust flew into the air.
He struggled to raise his head, his face twisted to the extreme. His fists were clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.
But ultimately, he slowly lowered his head.
Supreme General of the Great Qin, Xiao Xuance, pays respects to His Majesty.
His voice was squeezed through his teeth, almost gnashing them in fury!
Then, he stood up, looking at Qin Xiao with venomous resentment in his eyes.
Your Majesty, this is a battlefield. Swords and spears have no eyes. You are of ten thousand honors, how can you risk yourself alone?
Men! Escort His Majesty back to Yumen Pass!
This was his home ground; he was not afraid of Qin Xiao.
Since Qin Xiao had come, he would have to obediently listen to his orders!
But Qin Xiao paid him no mind at all, instead arriving by Huang Hansheng's side.
Old General Huang, We are late.
As he spoke, Qin Xiao looked around.
I have let you soldiers suffer.
This short sentence caused the two thousand soldiers to shed tears on the spot.
Your... Your Majesty, that you are willing to brave danger for us is our greatest glory!
Their voices were almost choked with sobs.
Qin Xiao felt a bitter taste in his heart. He looked around and saw the ground littered with corpses.
Just how tragic and fierce had this battle been!
Twenty thousand defending soldiers had forcibly stood against an army of two hundred thousand, and held out for three days!
They had even forcefully repelled the enemy forces!
What a glorious battle record this was!
Yet in the end, they were being forced to commit suicide!
Seeing that Qin Xiao ignored him, leaving him barking like a clown, Xiao Xuance instantly flew into a rage.
Your Majesty! Please return to Yumen Pass with this general!
Qin Xiao's eyes were as cold and sharp as blades.
Are you forcing Us to submit?
Xiao Xuance drew his longsword without hesitation.
This place is too dangerous. Your Majesty should stop causing a scene.
Soldiers, follow this general to escort His Majesty back to the city!
He realized that the army behind him remained unmoving.
They all stood rooted to the spot.
Xiao Xuance flew into a furious rage. He took out the Tiger Tally from his robes and held it high.
The Tiger Tally is in my hand. Those who disobey will be executed!
Everyone's bodies trembled, their faces revealing their struggle.
The Tiger Tally was the highest symbol of authority in an army.
They could disregard the Emperor, but facing the Tiger Tally, they had to obey!
But Qin Xiao finally spoke.
Are you... going to kill your own Emperor?
His voice was not loud, but it echoed across the entire field!
The air seemed to freeze.
Finally, one person could no longer bear the torment in his heart and dropped straight to the ground.
Following that, one after another, soldiers laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground.
As Your Majesty's soldiers, how could we dare point our spears at Your Majesty!
At this moment, the Tiger Tally, which symbolized supreme military power, was utterly worthless in the face of Qin Xiao, the true Emperor!
Argh!
Xiao Xuance roared in exasperation.
Stand up! All of you, stand up for this general!
You are not allowed to kneel, this general forbids you from kneeling!
Unfortunately, not a single person listened to his orders.
Xiao Xuance was trembling with anger, his eyes blood-red as he glared fixedly at Qin Xiao, looking as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Beside him, Wang Xuerou's face was as pale as paper. She cried aggrievedly, Brother Xuance, what should we do?
If Qin Xiao orders us killed, wouldn't we be unable to escape death?
Xiao Xuance patted Wang Xuerou's small hand, his voice low and squeezed through his teeth.
Then we strike first and gain the upper hand! We will capture Qin Xiao!
Having said that, he hesitated no longer. He took a step forward, unleashing a violent, murderous intent!
Your Majesty, this general is also thinking of your well-being. Do not resist, otherwise this general might strike too heavily!
With madness in his eyes, he charged toward Qin Xiao at an extreme speed.
In the blink of an eye, he leapt high into the air, drew his sword, and appeared above the city walls.
Your Majesty, watch out!
Huang Hansheng's expression changed drastically. He rushed in front of Qin Xiao with no regard for his own life, attempting to block this fatal strike for him!
But his speed was too slow; there was simply no time!
Xiao Xuance smiled hideously, his sword thrusting as fast as lightning straight toward Qin Xiao's throat!
He simply did not believe that Qin Xiao could be his match!
One had to know, he possessed the cultivation of a Supreme Grandmaster!
Suppressing a mere Qin Xiao would be as easy as flipping his hand!
