Chapter 377: Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang

Just as Su Li was charging through the encirclement formed by the player troops with his unit.

About ten miles outside Yecheng, in a large temporary camp set up by the Huang Jin camp.

Several Huang Jin generals stood solemnly, and Zhang Bao, who had been repelled by Su Li, was also present.

They looked solemn at this moment, merely nodding, their peripheral vision fixed on a figure in the main seat.

That was a Daoist priest wearing a yellow robe.

His stature was not particularly tall, his appearance was plain, and there was even obvious aging and paleness on his face.

But this old Daoist radiated a vast aura that was extremely demonic yet natural!

It gave people a feeling of being both righteous and evil!

This old Daoist was none other than Zhang Jiao, who held titles such as Great Virtuous Teacher, Heaven General, and Leader of the Taiping Dao!

At this moment.

Zhang Jiao was sitting cross-legged in the center of the camp, eyes closed.

Four formation flags were placed in front of him.

Forming a unique formation.

Besides that.

In the center of the four formation flags, there was also an ancient scroll, which emitted an even thicker ominous aura than the one Zhang Bao had earlier—so thick that it seemed as if some black energy was flowing within it.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

"Divination by change, seal by the Heavenly Dao!"

Zhang Jiao suddenly opened his eyes wide, a look of pain appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao and another Huang Jin general, who was also wearing Daoist robes but had a robust build, immediately rushed forward and shouted in unison: "Big Brother, are you okay!"

Their faces were filled with worry.

In the Huang Jin camp, there were only two people who could address Zhang Jiao this way.

One was Zhang Bao, and the other was naturally the Human General Zhang Liang.

"I am fine, it's just that I can no longer suppress the demonic power within the Taiping Essential Arts."

Zhang Jiao performed a magic seal, and the pain on his face slightly lessened.

"How can this be? Even you, Big Brother, can't suppress the Taiping Essential Arts? Is this really a demonic book?"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were both horrified.

And at this moment, Zhang Jiao suddenly sighed.

"Sigh..."

"It is time, it is fate!"

"Second Brother, Third Brother, when we three brothers first cultivated the Taiping Essential Arts, we already knew that this was a demonic book containing an ominous aura, but in order to pursue a higher level of power, in order to break the boundary."

"We resolutely chose to cultivate the demonic book."

"Now, the demonic power in the Heaven Scroll of the Taiping Essential Arts has begun to gradually backlash; even with my cultivation, I am almost unable to suppress it."

"So I hope that before I become demonized, I can do something for you."

"If possible... after we take Yecheng this time, I will forcibly reclaim the demonic power that has already eroded you through the Essential Arts of Peace."

"Then you should leave this place, hide your names, and live out the rest of your lives in peace."

Zhang Jiao said in a low voice, and the vast aura that had been natural to him withered significantly, already being suppressed by the other half of the ominous aura.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang looked at each other upon hearing this, their faces resolute as they looked at him: "Big Brother! We will not leave you behind alone."

"What if we become demonized?"

"As long as we can overthrow the Han court before complete demonization and absorb the Divine Dragon Vein that the Han has suppressed for hundreds of years, we can break the boundary."

"We will then be able to completely suppress the demonic energy; by then, with the three of us brothers, where in the world can we not go?"

"Even if we retreat now, we will be nothing but rats that everyone shouts to kill."

"Success or death; in order to break the boundary, we will accompany you, Big Brother, to the end no matter what!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang spoke one after another, showing no intention of retreating.

"Sigh..."

"Second Brother, Third Brother, overthrowing the Han court and absorbing the Divine Dragon Vein is not that easy."

"Although the Han court is in decline, its destiny is not yet exhausted, and our uprising was leaked in advance by Tang Zhou, forcing us to act hastily."

Zhang Jiao sighed again.

"As things stand, Julu is lost, we have no retreat, we can only take Yecheng as a base, otherwise the situation will be lost."

"But even if we take Yecheng, the continuous borrowing of the power of the Essential Arts of Peace causes demonic backlash, leading me to be almost unable to suppress the demonic power of the Heaven Scroll."

"By then, once I become a demon, not only will it bring disaster to the people, but it will also harm you..."

"While the demonic power of the Earth Scroll and the Human Scroll is not yet strong, you should leave quickly."

However, when Zhang Jiao said this, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's expressions became even more resolute: "No matter what, we are brothers for a lifetime!"

"In the past, you always looked after me and Third Brother."

"This time, Third Brother and I, even if Big Brother is to become a demon, we will be with you!"

As the words fell.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang looked at each other again, and with a tacit understanding, each grabbed one of Zhang Jiao's arms.

Then...

The ominous aura that had reached its extreme on Zhang Jiao actually began to gradually recede.

No, it should be said that the receding ominous aura was gradually transferring to Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.

"Second Brother, Third Brother, you..."

Zhang Jiao was horrified: "Stop quickly, this way you will have no retreat either!"

"Big Brother, when we decided to cultivate the Taiping Essential Arts with you, we never intended to leave ourselves a retreat!"

"We three brothers will either live together or die together; even if we become demons and are never reincarnated, we will be together!"

Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were full of resolve.

"Fine! Fine! Since you, Second Brother and Third Brother, are willing to do this much for Big Brother, then we three brothers will defy the heavens together, overthrow the Han court, and absorb the Divine Dragon Vein suppressed by the Han court."

"As long as we break the boundary, what are mere demons!"

Zhang Jiao, who had been somewhat twilight, saw Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang do this much for him, and he regained his spirit.
