Chapter 196

Meng Su couldn't understand how this unlucky Ye Baiyi had ended up in the barbarian army's camp and been caught by Yang Xiu; the key was that the two were sworn enemies, would Yang Xiu not recognize Ye Baiyi?

The only explanation was: in the Illusion Realm, Yang Xiu didn't know about his affairs in the Demon Realm at all, he didn't recognize Ye Baiyi; if he recognized Ye Baiyi and knew Ye Baiyi's value, he would definitely not use him to exchange for the Right Divine Machine.

But Meng Su was not sure about this judgment; he wanted to test it.

Meng Su looked at Yang Xiu and said loudly, "This person is just a partial general of our Great Tang; you want to exchange a partial general for your Right General, what a calculation. Do you think we will exchange? He is not worth it."

Yang Xiu was stunned and said, "Doesn't your Great Tang boast of being an army of benevolence and righteousness? Although the partial general's level is not high, he is also a citizen of your Great Tang; can you bear to watch him die under our sabers?"

Meng Su smiled, "I exchange a partial general for your Right General, this business is very cost-effective; you kill my partial general, I kill your Right General, let's see who loses more."

"Don't... things can be discussed again, General, don't be impulsive." Yang Xiu said anxiously.

Up to this point, Meng Su had concluded that Yang Xiu in this world didn't know Ye Baiyi.

Knowing the opponent's bottom line, Meng Su began to ask for an exorbitant price.

"You break the city and kill people, slaughtering the city every time; our Great Tang is filled with indignation, and everyone demands to kill your Right General to vent the anger of people and gods. If you use Yuzhou City and our partial general to exchange for your Right General, I can persuade my master to exchange for your Right General."

"This... this condition is too much, I can't make the decision. How about changing to another..." Yang Xiu said.

Meng Su turned to Li Huan'er and said, "Bring the Right Divine Machine."

Li Huan'er took a few personal guards and went down.

"Exchanging for another is also fine, you and I fight another round; if I win, you return our partial general to us, if I lose, I return your Right General to you, a fair trade, how about that?"

Meng Su really couldn't think of any other conditions he could offer, so he could only say this.

Yang Xiu remembered the situation of the fierce battle last night, his heart trembled, and he said, "In such an occasion, a duel will cause unnecessary misunderstandings between the two sides, this method is inappropriate."

Meng Su was about to speak when he suddenly found that Li Huan'er had already brought the Right Divine Machine up; this speed could only be described as flying fast.

Li Huan'er carried the dying Right Divine Machine and said, "The Queen Mother has already arranged for someone to send this thief to the foot of the city, and I happened to run into it."

Meng Su thought about it and it was right; Li Wuguo must have anticipated the time of Ye Baiyi's appearance and had already made preparations in advance.

Meng Su grabbed the Right Divine Machine, dragged him to the city wall, and said reluctantly, "How about this, we take a loss; you throw General Ye over first, and I will let your Right General go back, how about that?"

Yang Xiu said angrily, "Do you take me for a three-year-old child? I let your people go, what if you don't let our people go? We release people at the same time."

Meng Su nodded, carried the Right Divine Machine in his hand, and flew down to the square at the foot of the city wall.

Yang Xiu also descended from the air.

Meng Su drew the long saber from his body and hacked off the Right Divine Machine's left arm with one saber; the Right Divine Machine let out a scream, and blood splattered everywhere.

Yang Xiu said angrily, "How dare you, brat, I will kill your general."

Meng Su held the long saber against the Right Zen Machine's neck and said faintly, "Please feel free. You want to exchange a partial general for my Right General, what a beautiful thought; now it's good, half a Right General, it's fair. If you want to exchange, start now; if you want to go back on your word, please feel free."

Yang Xiu was shocked by Meng Su's ruthlessness and said helplessly, "Alright, let's release people together."

Ye Baiyi on the ground was pulled up by the barbarian guards; at this time, Ye Baiyi still had a look of hopelessness, could he get anything good after falling into the hands of the barbarian army? A round of brutal beatings had already given Ye Baiyi a psychological shadow. Now that Ye Baiyi was pulled out, Ye Baiyi thought his time was up. Since his time was up, he had to say a few heroic words to show his bravery.

"You barbarian army, going against heaven, acting recklessly, will definitely be punished by heaven; I, Ye Baiyi, hate that I cannot kill all the barbarians, kill into the royal court, living as a hero, dying also..."

"Cough, that's about enough." Seeing Ye Baiyi becoming more and more impassioned, with a faint rhythm of making a long speech, Meng Su hurriedly coughed and stopped Ye Baiyi's speech.

Only then did Ye Baiyi realize that it didn't seem to be the case. He was saved; Ye Baiyi had been locked in a dark room for too long, and only then did his eyes adapt to the current light. He saw an armored general slowly becoming clear in his eyes and recognized it was Meng Su. A kind of ecstasy of being saved almost made Ye Baiyi sing a mountain song.

"General Meng, you are truly the courage of our army, the pillar of the country; I knew you would come to save me, I..."

"Um, General Ye, you've worked hard." Meng Su interrupted Ye Baiyi's words and then said to Yang Xiu, "I'll shout one, two, three, and everyone will release people together."

Yang Xiu nodded, "Agreed."

To reflect the generosity of the Tang Principality, Meng Su released the Right Divine Machine in his hand when he shouted one.

The Right Divine Machine clearly also knew this was his only way to escape heaven. As soon as he left Meng Su's restraint, he hurriedly ran toward his own people.

Ye Baiyi didn't run slowly either.

But he had just been brutally beaten, his legs and feet were not agile, and he couldn't run fast; the Right Divine Machine had been captured but hadn't been abused, so his spirit was still good.

This running speed, the difference was immediately judged; Ye Baiyi had only run half the distance, and the Right Zen Machine had already been rescued by his own people.

At this time, Ye Baiyi happened to be at Yang Xiu's side. How could Yang Xiu let go of this opportunity to give himself a comeback? The barbarian army originally followed the law of the jungle, and all benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith were all bullshit.

Yang Xiu suddenly had that Tang saber in his hand and thrust it toward the back of the heart of Ye Baiyi, who was running wildly while limping.

With Ye Baiyi's speed, Yang Xiu had already imagined the situation of being poked a hole by himself; Yang Xiu tilted his head, preparing to dodge Ye Baiyi's blood splashing on his face.

But Yang Xiu didn't see the blood that should have come.

Ye Baiyi felt Yang Xiu's saber strike and suddenly accelerated a little bit forward; Yang Xiu's Tang saber was still an inch away from Ye Baiyi's back heart.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but thrust the long saber in his hand forward fiercely again, then tilted his head again, preparing to dodge the blood splashing from Ye Baiyi's body.

Bizarrely, Ye Baiyi seemed to be stimulated by life and death, and actually ran wildly for a few more feet; Yang Xiu's Tang saber was still only an inch away from Ye Baiyi's back heart.

"Um? This brat can actually run quite well."

Yang Xiu couldn't help but take two steps forward and continued to thrust toward Ye Baiyi's back heart.

Ye Baiyi felt the life-and-death crisis and couldn't help but accelerate forward a few more steps; Yang Xiu's Tang saber missed again.

"Damn it, I don't believe I can't kill you, brat." Yang Xiu felt his self-esteem had been challenged, and this time he ran forward ten steps fiercely.

Bizarrely, this time Ye Baiyi didn't move at all, his whole body shifted forward more than ten steps; Yang Xiu's Tang saber was still an inch away from Ye Baiyi's back heart.

"It's haunted, you half-dead general, you can actually slip away quite well." Yang Xiu ran forward ten steps again with the determination not to stop until he killed Ye Baiyi.

In this cycle, Yang Xiu had unknowingly run more than a hundred steps.
