Chapter 274

Yang Zhenhao's expression carried panic.

He could see the youth holding the sword not far away approaching.

His side's generals and guards were simply no match; everyone who stood in front of the youth was cut down like rice.

He couldn't understand why there would be such a powerful spirit beast.

"Go, all of you go, pile up and kill him for me!" Yang Zhenhao roared, intending to cover his fear with anger.

At this moment, he actually regretted it a bit; if he had known, he wouldn't have listened to Prince An's suggestion to mobilize troops early.

If he had gathered the last Yin-hour birth girl to evolve the 'Zheng Yan Lu' into the 'Qun Fang Pu' before making a move, how could he have ended up in such a situation?

Numbers seemed to have lost their effect; Yang Zhenhao watched the youth get closer and closer to him.

"A bunch of trash, in the end, I still have to rely on myself." Yang Zhenhao forced himself to calm down; he still had a chance.

The three thousand Zheng Yan souls had lost about a hundred to cover his departure, but they still had the strength to fight.

As he spoke, all the Zheng Yan souls were released; he opened his big mouth and swallowed all the Zheng Yan souls in an instant.

With the souls in his belly, majestic power surged from his body continuously.

"Die!" Yang Zhenhao didn't have time to indulge in his suddenly surging power, but hurriedly raised his arm and punched the flying sword coming towards his neck.

Rip~

The scene he imagined of him shattering the flying sword with one punch did not appear; instead, intense pain spread from his arm to his heart.

That flying sword sank completely into his arm, bringing him heart-piercing pain.

"Ah!!!" Yang Zhenhao wailed in pain, and then the flying sword pierced out from his back shoulder.

His whole body couldn't stop staggering; fortunately, the personal guards beside him were quick-witted and supported him.

"The big talk was very beautiful, but the strength is just average." Guo Ming had already reached Yang Zhenhao's front, and the 'Su Nu Sword' slashed down towards Yang Zhenhao's head.

It was just that a radiance appeared on Yang Zhenhao's body, forcibly blocking Guo Ming's 'Su Nu Sword' for an instant.

Just by delaying for an instant, another life-saving spirit treasure on Yang Zhenhao's body took effect, taking him to continue fleeing far away.

When Guo Ming's 'Su Nu Sword' shattered the radiance, he slashed at empty air.

"Running? Heh, let's see how far you can run." Guo Ming's sword Qi swept across, and everyone around was cut into fragments by the sword Qi.

Then his gaze fixed, and he locked onto Yang Zhenhao again.

The effect of this life-saving spirit treasure was obviously not as good as the last one.

Before, it had teleported him directly from the front army to the position of the center army camp, but now it was only a hundred meters.

For him, a hundred meters was just a blink of an eye.

"Old thief, look at the sword!" Guo Ming shouted immediately, then four flying swords rose into the air, splitting into a torrent of sword Qi.

Yang Zhenhao subconsciously looked back, and seeing the torrent of sword Qi sweeping over, he was scared pale.

Without hesitation, he consumed another precious spirit treasure to move and escape again.

However, this time the distance was even closer.

At the same time, as he looked up, he saw the blade of the long sword occupying his entire field of vision.

The sword Qi and sword intent carried on the blade made him feel the extreme sharpness before the blade even landed on him.

"Old thief, opposing Brother Chu, you are seeking your own death."

Yang Zhenhao heard this sentence; he didn't even know who the 'Brother Chu' in Guo Ming's mouth was, but he saw his own field of vision fly up just like that.

Before his consciousness disappeared, he could feel a hand firmly grabbing his head, and he could see his own headless corpse gushing blood and slumping down powerlessly.

"The False Emperor's head is here; why don't you surrender quickly." Guo Ming held Yang Zhenhao's head, and at the same time, the torrent of sword Qi shredded the army's great banner into powder.

"Avenge His Majesty!" The die-hard party looked ferocious, shouting slogans and starting to charge.

It was just that this was ultimately only a small number of people; more people, because of Guo Ming's record and Yang Zhenhao's death, had their morale collapse on the spot and surrendered.

The die-hard party only shouted, and before they had taken two steps in the charge, they were killed by Guo Ming's sword.

At the same time, his greater chaos also began to erupt from the front army.

Guo Ming collected the 'Exemplary Tier' treasure chest with shining patterns that appeared on Yang Zhenhao's corpse, and without stopping at all, he rushed towards the location of the chaos.

He recognized the location as the area where Chu Danqing was.

This meant that the chaos had something to do with Chu Danqing.

He didn't have any confidence in Chu Danqing's combat power, so he was worried that Chu Danqing would have problems.

On the other side, Chu Danqing just saw the great banner shattered, and then the mission was completed.

Chu Danqing understood that this meant Guo Ming had successfully killed the False Emperor Yang Zhenhao.

【Mission completed, you obtained: Paradise Points × 20000, Attribute Points +5】

【Mission completed, you obtained: Spirit Beast Atlas · Reincarnation Nirvana Lotus】

The side mission and the chain mission were completed at the same time, but the trial mission was not yet completed.

Either wait for a day, or Chu Danqing would have to wipe out Prince Ning's entire army.

But he couldn't kill them all; this was a force of help.

Just a moment ago, his speech successfully incited many soldiers to rebel, and then triggered chaos and camp-mutiny events in the front army.

And then the danger became even greater.

The soldiers who were incited to rebel didn't live long, because they were killed for defecting on the spot, but the suspicion formed by this sudden betrayal spread rapidly.

The people he incited to rebel belonged to a very small part.

A thousand-mile dike can indeed be destroyed by an ant hole, but the premise is that there must be enough time.

Then, he saw Guo Ming controlling his sword and coming over.

Holding Yang Zhenhao's head in one hand and the 'Su Nu Sword' in the other, he quelled the regional chaos with his own strength.

The momentum and pressure swept across the field, and the sword intent hung high above, forcing most of the soldiers in the front army not to dare to move at all.

"The False Emperor's head is here; put down your weapons and surrender quickly!" Guo Ming shouted again.

This time the effect was very good; everyone honestly followed the instructions.

"Brother Chu, are you okay?" After Guo Ming controlled the scene, he immediately asked about Chu Danqing's situation.

"Besides my hands being a bit sore, I'm actually fine." What could happen to Chu Danqing? The enemy's attributes were a big chunk lower than his own, and he had a series of protections and Da Bao by his side to support him.

Except for being a bit sore because of the lack of combat and the force used when swinging the 'Yue Lan Totem Pole', there was no problem at all.

As for the possibility of attacks leaking through?

Not to mention the three-layer shield on Chu Danqing's body, don't treat the 'Five Elements Origin Spirit' as a decoration; this thing's intelligence level is not high, but it can automatically attack and defend.

Especially since the 'Five Elements Origin Spirit' inherits Chu Danqing's attributes while also being able to enjoy a series of buffs, it hasn't been low in any aspect.

Not to mention the bonus of spirituality, making the 'Five Elements Origin Spirit's' intelligence level much higher than when it first started.

In making up for his biggest weakness, Chu Danqing spared no effort.

"That's good, what should we do next?" Guo Ming said, handing the treasure chest to Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing took a look, and his eyes almost popped out; it actually dropped an 'Exemplary Tier' treasure chest with shining patterns.

This has a very high probability of being able to open a special 'Purple Mansion' talent.

As for losing a 'Purple Mansion' talent book? At first glance, it is indeed so, but in reality, it is not.

If he didn't use the 'Purple Mansion' talent book first, he would miss the final link of killing Prince Ning to complete the chain mission.

And because Chu Danqing didn't trigger the next link of the chain mission, he wouldn't know that he needed to refine a spirit beast, and would also miss the 'Concentric Lotus Seed'.

Eventually leading to a series of problems.

"Temporarily stabilize the situation and reduce personnel deaths." Chu Danqing immediately said: "I will ask Grand Coordinator Xiong to help; he is much more experienced than us."

"However, it will take time for him to come; during this time, Brother Guo, you have to beat the rest of the people into submission."

Chu Danqing said, immediately summoning Xiong Zhigang with the 'Shanhe Alliance'.

【You summoned Alliance Target No. 2, this time consuming Paradise Points × 60】

【Alliance target responding】

Guo Ming nodded upon hearing this and said: "Then I'll be back soon; Brother Chu, protect yourself."

After speaking, he directly flew up on his sword and went to pursue the rest of the army.

What he needs to do is to find a few generals who can take charge to cooperate with him; otherwise, relying on him alone, how can he stabilize this army of nearly 100,000?

"This lord, you said before that we are considered to be executing the False Emperor; does that still count?" A mid-level general asked cautiously after Guo Ming left.

As for shouting again to integrate the army? The success rate is not zero, but the premise is that one must be able to withstand Guo Ming's sword.

Guo Ming killed Yang Zhenhao in the middle of ten thousand troops with his sword; killing one more is not a difficult task.

"What do you think?" Chu Danqing asked with a smile, not giving a definitive answer.

If they had defected before Yang Zhenhao died, no matter how many people there were, Chu Danqing would have chosen to protect them.

But now that the person is dead, and they were enemies before, their identity is not that of aspiring people who were incited to rebel, but surrendered captives.

"I think it should count." When the general said this, he secretly observed Chu Danqing's expression.

"The snot has flowed into your mouth, you know to shake it off, but it's too late." Chu Danqing was disdainful of lying to them, and then said: "Wait for the disposal."

"However, rest assured, only the chief culprits will be killed, and there will be no large-scale involvement; you can save your lives, but your official positions will depend on the situation."

Chu Danqing's words were true, but the second half was missing, which was that all spirit beasts evolved through evil paths would be dealt with.

Fortunately, in the False Emperor's 100,000-strong army, the proportion of spirit beasts evolved through evil paths was very low; only a small part of the elite could enjoy the treatment of evil path evolution.

Hearing Chu Danqing's answer, the mid-level generals also breathed a sigh of relief.

The rebellion failed; it's not bad that they didn't die, so how could there be such a good thing as keeping their official positions?

"Please, my lord, say a few more good words; we were also coerced and bewitched, and didn't have a shred of rebellious heart." Another mid-level general also hurriedly said.

The mid-level generals only knew they were rebelling after they raised their troops.

In the end, they could only bite the bullet and follow; by this time, there was no way back.
