Chapter 609: Must-Kill Target + Chapter 610: Setting a Trap
"Senior Brother Zhou, I have something unclear. From the beginning, why did you believe that it was absolutely impossible to kill those few generals of Beiliang outside the city? Could there be some hidden secrets?"
Shen Bi stood atop the city tower, watching the Beiliang army being blocked by a barrage of arrows below.
Her gaze lingered for a moment on Huo Lingfeng, a young general amongst the Penglai Disciples, who swirled his long spear amidst wind and fire, and asked with slight reluctance.
No wonder she felt uneasy.
The young general named Huo Lingfeng was spewing obscenities below the city, utterly humiliating her.
He claimed that if he captured Princess Shen Bi, he would put her in eighteen positions and do unspeakable things.
Such foul words.
Even the normally good-tempered Fang Sheng spat out a few curses in hatred.
She claimed she did not acknowledge such a senior from her sect.
Surely Huo Lingfeng died early because of his excessive arrogance.
Shen Bi did not understand these words, but Zhou Ping’an found them amusing.
To make Fang Sheng, a cheerful and optimistic girl, so angry, one could imagine how infuriating that General Ling Feng was.
Looking at Huo Lingfeng’s slightly immature face and his fearlessness, Zhou Ping’an fell into deep thought.
"It is indeed possible to kill him."
Zhou Ping’an sighed, saying he couldn’t just mention that he was reminded of a Divine Enthronement legend from another world, feeling that the situation was somewhat akin to those shameless opponents, thus opting for a conservative strategy in advance.
Better safe than sorry.
Especially after hearing about the strength of the Subduing Demon Sect from Princess Shen Bi, he became even more cautious.
The Daxia Royal Court, rich in the Four Seas, and behind it the Demon Sect suppressing the world for two thousand years, filled with masters. This battle being so tragically lost, it can’t be that their opponents weren’t playing tricks.
"Princess, regarding the information you mentioned earlier, did you notice that besides Crown Prince Zhou Ze of Liang, who is famous for his bright wisdom and military prowess, there is one more person in the Beiliang camp, Qi Yunzi, the Prime Minister, capable of summoning the stars..."
Shen Bi nodded: "Yes, Qi Yunzi himself is not very strong, but he has wide connections, capable of summoning exceptional people to assist Beiliang, and is highly skilled in military strategy and deploying troops, totally unlike a typical recluse Taoist."
Zhou Ping’an pondered: "Given this, what’s the use of killing these four generals, if not to provoke the other side? As long as Qi Yunzi is still there, Beiliang will have an inexhaustible supply of powerful commanders. Even if we defeat the small ones, the big ones will come. Princess, with your current cultivation, can you withstand a surprise attack from a Divine Martial Realm expert?"
"How is that possible?"
Shen Bi’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
During these years of warfare, under normal circumstances, it’s always soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals. Whatever strength we show, they have masters to match.
It’s not to the extent that they would deploy Divine Martial Realm experts at the sixth pass of the Eighteen Heavenly Passes.
Don’t they fear our 108 Heavenly Venerate and Earthly Venerate joining the fight?
"Nothing is impossible?"
Zhou Ping’an smiled: "If it were normal combat, of course not. But these four generals are clearly the best among various factions, any one of them capable of defending a territory, possessing unique abilities.
Normally, such young talents are definitely someone’s highly taught disciples, once in a millennium. If such disciples perish, it is very likely that some Divine Martial Realm master can’t hold back, breaking the agreement and acting outright.
We would regret it too late, which is why I previously said we cannot kill them. Because killing them is pointless, it would only prompt Qi Yunzi to seek help everywhere, bringing in a group of even stronger masters."
This reasoning is, of course, conjecture.
Hard to convince Shen Bi.
It’s a case of knowing the result and inferring the process.
The real reason is, once Zhou Ping’an intends to kill the enemy generals outside the city, he can’t help but feel a subtle, extreme sense of danger.
This feeling has saved him many times, and he dare not ignore it.
In fact, although Shen Bi was not convinced, she was also half-doubting, clearly taking it into consideration, she troubledly said: "If it’s as Senior Brother Zhou says, without eliminating Qi Yunzi, isn’t the battle at Fulong Pass doomed to fail? But how easy is it to kill Qi Yunzi?
This person is rumored to be extremely afraid of death, always protected by strong generals and soldiers, also guarded by masters, his command tent impenetrable, I’ve tried everything and still couldn’t gather any information."
Shen Bi paused, her brows furrowed: "Huh, what Senior Brother said might actually happen, there must be Divine Martial Realm experts hidden in the Beiliang camp, otherwise, with the capabilities of Daxia Listening Wind Camp, no matter how tightly guarded, it’s impossible not to collect any information."
Zhou Ping’an slightly frowned, thinking that the Princess also has her strengths. In fact, not only is she very good at archery, managing to make the Wind and Thunder General Lei Dong hastily flee with a single arrow.
The city of Fulong Pass, protected by an unknown formation, has seen Lei Dong’s attacks fall like fireworks, all blocked without causing any damage.
"I have something I don’t understand and seek Princess’s clarification. If a Divine Martial Realm Venerable comes to attack the garrison, can this formation hold?"
"With the Fulong Flag present, able to gather the wishes of tens of thousands of people and embody them into laws, even if the Divine Martial Realm Venerable comes here, they would have to fight desperately, unable to mobilize Heaven and Earth Vital Energy to attack, not to mention utilizing the Power of Laws."
Shen Bi proudly said,
"Now as Beiliang rebels, with Southern Qi and West Zhou responding simultaneously, raising the banner of purging the monarch, to discerning people, these traitors are merely driven by ambition. Daxia is prosperous, the people are wealthy, life is stable, so where is the oppression? Therefore, the people’s hearts are with Xia, and the foundation remains solid.
