Why isn't he killing people but instead manipulating these fogs...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a fog snake swam onto his big ship, paused briefly after just skimming by, then unexpectedly turned back and charged towards their ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts erupted, as several personal guards immediately shielded Meng Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang bang...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small snake bumped into the crowd but did not generate any killing intent; instead, it turned into a cloud of fog and dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's this...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few exchanged looks, only Meng Guang seemed to realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This little snake... seems to be looking for someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be... looking for me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Found it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the distant Tuoba clan's large ship, Zhao Qingshan, who was initially sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, saying, \"Big brother Qingtong, found it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that direction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qingshan pointed towards the three o'clock direction, quickly saying, \"Approximately thirteen hundred meters away, a boat with a cyan base, red walls, and a triangular red flag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A large number of personal soldiers guard it, one of whom matches the image of Meng Guang transmitted by the clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong said softly, slapping the deck with one palm, soaring into the sky instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue flying sword radiated light, making Tuoba Qingtong look like an immortal, swiftly darting towards the center of the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, the blue protective magical shield immediately protected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous bullets and arrows shot towards Tuoba Qingtong but all were blocked by the wave-like protective magical shield enveloping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An immortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's an immortal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, shoot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless exclamations echoed, as many navy soldiers, already aware of the presence of immortals among the rebels, fired at Tuoba Qingtong as soon as they spotted him, aiming to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, their attacks had no effect whatsoever on Tuoba Qingtong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong's figure swiftly sped across dozens of warships still engulfed in flames, passing by thousands of soldiers and rebels locked in fierce combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side held back in the slightest, each strike spilling blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong shot past, stirring up massive gusts of wind and waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meng Guang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong muttered darkly, stepping down onto the flying sword, his eyes filled with fierce intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the warship, Meng Guang and the others watched in shock at Tuoba Qingtong floating in mid-air. It was only then that he realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Tuoba Qingtong was actually coming for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying sword suddenly swooped down, almost instantly slashing toward Meng Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"General!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, dodge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying sword chopped down, nearly slicing the entire warship in half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers on the deck fell into the water one after another, drenching the sea with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? Is he dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong reached out with a gesture, and the flying sword flew back to circle around him as he gazed at the chaotic lake surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive warship had already been severed in two, tilting and slowly being engulfed by lake water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong quickly scanned the area and soon noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Guang was not dead after all, being swiftly dragged away by two personal soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was covered in blood, clearly grievously injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that when the flying sword came down just now, his personal soldiers sacrificed themselves to save him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Trying to run?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not that easy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he said this, he tapped the lake surface again, and the light of the flying sword burst forth, once more shooting toward the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his mind suddenly registered something out of the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the half-submerged warship, a young man leaned against the mast, struggling to open a wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he crushed a green jade bottle, allowing a drop of thick blood to fall into the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, a murmured spell escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qi Zhi Zhe Ge Su!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzzing…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the incantation finished, a blood-red light suddenly shot out of the wooden box, tracing a thin crimson thread through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Feihu swiftly pointed at Tuoba Qingtong in mid-air, \"Kill him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzzing…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, the thin blood-colored thread streaked through the air, shooting towards Tuoba Qingtong at great speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is that…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Tuoba Qingtong was terrified, instinctively gesturing for the flying sword, which had already shot towards the lake, to urgently turn back and block the blood-colored thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… it was too late!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-colored thread reached him at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestral Cloud Dream Water Shield of his clan only managed to halt the blood-colored thread for a fleeting moment before it was pierced through with a pop, viciously biting into his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough cough…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuoba Qingtong's entire body shuddered violently, reflexively clutching his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, thick blood and bone fragments were already spewing from his mouth, nose, and fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-colored thread instantly pierced through his neck, spinning relentlessly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How… how is this possible…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled to look back, only to see a finger-sized, spider-like red spirit insect with three pairs of wings on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his body went limp, and he plummeted down from the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing to fall was the flying sword in mid-air, followed by his own body, which crashed heavily into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Bai Feihu react, panting heavily as he shouted, \"Quick, retrieve that cultivator's flying sword and body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Qingtong has fallen?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the outskirts of the battlefield, Zhao Qingshang, who was maneuvering the Fog Python Banner, jolted in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively glanced towards the center of the battlefield, but could see nothing except chaos and towering flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it…!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sprang up, retracting the Fog Python Banner with a wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he expanded his form, stepping onto the Fog Python Banner and swiftly flying southward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation couldn't match Tuoba Qingtong's, and with Tuoba Qingtong fallen, what use did he have staying here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after he departed, a blood-colored thread flew to the spot, meticulously spiraling around for some time but finding nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buzzing…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Moon Gu emitted a series of buzzing sounds, then turned to attack the Tuoba Clan rebel warships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been released just once, it definitely planned to feast substantially on the blood meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the fall of Tuoba Qingtong and Zhao Qingshang's frantic retreat, the Battle of Yunmeng Marsh finally came to an end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, the northern Yunmeng Marsh's waters stretched a thousand miles, filled with countless pallid floating corpses and viscous blood mingled with lake water, drifting continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fish swarmed eagerly, devouring the corpses voraciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish and aquatic creatures in Yunmeng Marsh had several hearty meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Blood Moon Gu drew a blood-colored line in the sky, flying distantly towards the direction of the Capital City.\u003C\u002Fp>",1781,"2026-06-06T13:34:09.115Z",1,"novelbin.me","d933663ba60b93a38f8e7b19d352bde13534652c50bc52693d025b56a9ade208","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-254","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-252",358,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-as-false-emperor-cover.jpg"]
