Zhang San, please behave yourself!
Chapter 658 - 601: Is the Purple Mansion Realm No Longer Valuable?

Chapter 658: Chapter 601: Is the Purple Mansion Realm No Longer Valuable?

Emperor Kaihuang sensed the light descending from the sky and felt something was amiss.

Then, he discovered six Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses charging towards him.

Previously, Emperor Kaihuang was fearless because he knew the Tujue only had three Purple Mansion Realm experts.

But he never expected that three more Purple Mansion Realm warriors would emerge from the Tujue side.

Although Emperor Kaihuang didn’t know how those three Purple Mansion Realm came about, he knew he had to keep a low profile immediately.

"My loyal ministers, save me!"

Following Emperor Kaihuang’s cry, three Grand Offerers who were originally fighting nearby immediately gathered around him.

Wen Chudao and Changsun Bubai, who were not far away, also realized that Emperor Kaihuang was in danger.

Wen Chudao glanced at Changsun Bubai and roared, "Changsun Bubai, are you still hiding your skills at this point?"

Changsun Bubai grinned and said, "I’m just an average Purple Mansion Realm, you know!"

"That’s still better than being beaten to a pulp right after my breakthrough!"

Although Wen Chudao had broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, he was immediately targeted by the three Purple Mansion Realm experts from the Tujue side.

That battle was not just a beating but also left him blown to bits.

It could be said that Wen Chudao had the Realm but not the strength, and even some cultivators at the last stage of Spiritual Platform Realm who were "Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity" were stronger than him.

Meanwhile, on the Tujue side, the State Preceptor immediately said to Sharlobi, "Great Khan, as our armies are intertwined in battle, it seems that we are beset on all sides, but in reality, Emperor Kaihuang and his troops are behind us, and we still have plenty of forces left. If we commit all our strengths to the fight against Emperor Kaihuang and turn this war into a true battle for him alone, we will have the opportunity to win!"

Although Sharlobi didn’t quite understand what the State Preceptor meant, ever since the State Preceptor came, except being duped by Zhang San along with him, almost every strategy of the State Preceptor had worked out.

So, Sharlobi had come to trust the State Preceptor unconditionally.

"Good! Let’s do as you say!"

The State Preceptor immediately ordered, "Dismantle all the capstan crossbows set up on Falling Dragon Mountain and send them to the front line. Find the right moment to shoot at Emperor Kaihuang!"

Hearing this, Sharlobi asked in confusion, "State Preceptor, although the capstan crossbows are powerful, they’re not powerful enough to take Emperor Kaihuang’s life, right? And what if our own people get hurt?"

"Great Khan, what war is without death? Even if the arrows shot from the capstan crossbows don’t hit Emperor Kaihuang, hitting some of the people protecting him is still good. Moreover..."

"The more Emperor Kaihuang is in danger, the more advantageous it is for us!"

Sharlobi understood and immediately ordered his men to dismantle the capstan crossbows quickly.

At this moment, Wang Junwu, who began to realize that the center of the battlefield had shifted from the front to the back, said to Zhang San, "I’ll command here; you go and rescue Emperor Kaihuang immediately! I have a premonition that many more will die in this battle."

Zhang San knew that Wang Junwu’s Calamity Position power enabled him to sense such things.

So he immediately led his men to charge towards the north, heading straight for Emperor Kaihuang’s position.

At this point, the entire battlefield was essentially in chaos.

In some areas, the Tujue outnumbered, in others the Sui Army had the upper hand, and in yet others, both armies were entwined in an indistinguishable battle.

Zhang San, leading the elite of the Divine Martial Army, charged all the way and quickly arrived near Emperor Kaihuang with his men.

At the same time, a senior Purple Mansion Realm general from the Sui Army’s rear command also charged over and joined Zhang San near Emperor Kaihuang.

"Emperor Kaihuang! Your humble servant is late to your rescue!"

Emperor Kaihuang turned his head and upon seeing Zhang San, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhang San, thank goodness you’ve arrived! The Tujue side suddenly has three more Purple Mansion Realm experts. I’m afraid this battle will be tough for the Great Sui!"

With the strength that Wen Chudao currently possesses, he is virtually delivering himself to defeat when facing someone from the Purple Mansion Realm.

On the side of the Great Sui, aside from the three Grand Offerers beside Emperor Kaihuang, there is only that old general of the Purple Mansion Realm and Changsun Bubai.

But Changsun Bubai himself knew that his breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm was entirely due to luck, and it had nothing to do with his actual strength.

Indeed, as soon as the battle began, Changsun Bubai realized that when he faced the Purple Mansion Realm warriors of the Tujue, he struggled significantly.

As for the veteran soldiers in the military, although they were brave, one would now charge and wrestle with two enemies.

But even Zhang San could see that the old general was heading for a fight to the death. He had no thoughts of coming back once he went in.

Zhang San and Cao Demeng were protecting Emperor Kaihuang on his left and right, leading him to slowly retreat to the south.

"Emperor, why didn’t you bring more Purple Mansion Realm experts to this battle? If I remember correctly, there are quite a few Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses in the Capital! If you had brought one-third of them, I reckon we would have had about ten Purple Mansion Realm experts on our side, right?"

Emperor Kaihuang snorted coldly and angrily said, "Do you think those Noble Families are really that easy to talk to? If it weren’t for the Town Martial Office and the Town Demon Office keeping them in check over the years, I’m afraid these people would have caused trouble a long time ago. Still listen to my commands? Do you really think I’m invincible under the heavens?"

Zhang San immediately seized the opportunity.

"That’s why, Emperor, you really should promote and bestow more titles on me after we return. You can’t rely on anyone else; the truly dependable ones are loyal pillars like me and people like this one-eyed brother here who have been protecting you all this time."

At this moment, the man with one eye turned his head and roared at Zhang San: "I’m Cao Demeng!"

Zhang San was startled and then realized that this ferocious warrior with only one eye left was indeed Cao Demeng.

Without asking, it was clear that the battle at Falling Dragon Mountain was fierce, and it was likely that he had lost his left eye in this battle.

"Rest assured! Although we only have five from the Purple Mansion Realm, the Tujue only have six. Moreover, my reinforcements are almost here; they should arrive by dawn. Once they arrive, we will have the advantage, and this battle, we will win for sure!"

Although Emperor Kaihuang did not know where Zhang San could find reinforcements.

But at least hearing him say this, he felt much more at ease.

However, just as Emperor Kaihuang was starting to feel that they might win this battle, he faintly felt a surge of bloodlust coming from the north.

It wasn’t just Emperor Kaihuang who felt it.

Even many of the stronger cultivators around him sensed it.

At this moment, countless eyes looked towards the north.

Everyone was curious to see what kind of being could release such a strong aura of bloodlust.

It seemed as if this being had been engaged in slaughter since birth.

However, rushing over from the north were about twenty riders.

The leader, with a stern face and blood-red eyes and brows,

was none other than Kucha Shahhan, who had recently obtained the power of the Calamity Position.

He had been digesting the power of the Calamity Position in his body, and now, he had finally fully mastered the power of his Blood Floating Hill Calamity Position.

At this moment, he was like an Asura, accompanied by over twenty Spiritual Platform Realm warriors at the final stage of Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity, arriving at the battlefield.

In an instant, the towering blood-red light seemed to dim the stars.

Zhang San frowned and asked Emperor Kaihuang, "Emperor, I feel like there are about twenty or so from the Spiritual Platform Realm rushing to attack us. Moreover, this Spiritual Platform Realm... it feels a bit too formidable; what’s the deal with that?"

Emperor Kaihuang asked, "Have you ever heard of the final stage of the Spiritual Platform Realm, called Holding the Origin and Preserving Unity, also known as Half-Step Purple Mansion?"

"I haven’t heard of it."

"Well, now you have, haven’t you?"
