Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 59: The Three-Faced Man of the Ruoye Tribe
At this time, Long Yu was standing in the air on the wall of the East Gate, holding tightly in his hand the flaming red Sunset Longbow. He was seen gently pulling the bow without an arrow on the bowstring, half-squinting his emerald green eyes, while the spiritual power at his fingertips was gathering all the time, as if it was endless and was directed towards the bowstring. The person he was aiming at was none other than Yan Zhu, the patriarch of the Kongming tribe!
"The prince of the Ruoye tribe, Long Yu, hehe, still has that disgusting woman's face. I wonder how wonderful it would be to have such a beautiful head floating in my big vat." Yan Zhu's narrow eyebrows revealed a sinister smile. He came here today to slaughter Yonghui City. The so-called secret treasure of Yonghui City was just a way to take it and avenge his shame! This was something that Yan Zhu had been worried about for twenty years. It was for today that he made up his mind to take the risk and join the dark power.
Buzz!!
With a loud bang, Long Yu's fingertips that were holding the bowstring loosened slightly, and a fiery red arrow flew out from his Sunset Longbow, cutting through the sky, and shot straight towards Yan Zhu, the patriarch of the Kongming tribe, with the force of breaking through the wind and thunder!
Yan Zhu casually grabbed the air, and the ground in front of him suddenly cracked. A round stone pillar about 20 feet thick rose from it. As he clenched his palm, the stone pillar suddenly blocked in front of him. With a loud bang, the oncoming fiery red arrow pierced into the stone pillar, and the stone pillar turned into powder in an instant, raising a huge cloud of dust...
In the huge cloud of dust, Yan Zhu's lips curled up into a sinister smile, and with a flick of his hand, a destructive colorful glow suddenly bloomed in the smoke!
Under the dazzling light, there was suddenly a loud noise from underground, followed by boulders rolling all over the sky and dust rising up. Another huge crack suddenly opened up from the ground in front of Yan Zhu, and an extremely huge tree root suddenly broke out from the ground.
However, the roots of this tree are really scary big!
From a distance, this single tree root was taller than the walls of Yonghui City, and even the walls of Yonghui City could not match its thickness. Then, huge tree roots continued to extend out from the cracks.
Looking around, the entire ground outside the east gate of Yonghui City seemed to have collapsed into a huge pit. As the tree roots continued to stretch and grow, in the blink of an eye, several huge tree roots had merged into a surprisingly thick and towering tree.
As Yan Zhu muttered to himself, the roots of the giant tree suddenly seemed to come to life, and with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they swung towards the wall of Yonghui City, with the power to destroy thousands of enemies!
If the tree root hits the city wall, no matter how strong the wall is, it will probably be shattered into pieces!
How could Long Yu give in? At this moment, Long Yu was still floating above the East Gate, holding the scarlet blood-coagulated sword in his hand!
Long Yu tightened his sword-holding hand slightly, and with a flick of his finger, a deep sword chant sounded. The Blood-Condensed Sword's rich, deep red spine was like a dragon with clouds wandering around, with a magnificent aura. The long-accumulated sword energy shot out in all directions, and the surrounding space suddenly darkened. Then roaring thunders sounded one after another, as densely as beans being scattered. In the sky, several deep red electric lights twisted into giant snakes hundreds of feet long as thick as a bucket, and swept towards the roots of the giant tree with a terrifying momentum!
The giant snake and the roots of the giant tree entangled and collided violently and continuously in the air!
At this time, Long Yu and Yan Zhu both had their brows furrowed, muttering something silently, and constantly stimulating the spiritual power in their bodies. Both of them poured their spiritual power into the giant snake and the roots of the giant tree, engaging in a game of spiritual power and cultivation!
At this moment, a series of earth-shattering noises hit the chests and ears of everyone present. Looking outside the east gate of Yonghui City, spider-web-like cracks instantly expanded to every corner, as if the earth was about to be torn apart! Such a might is really beyond human power to resist!
The people in Yonghui City didn't know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate today. In one day, they witnessed the competition between the three strongest and most top-notch masters in the Xuming Continent.
Just when Long Yu and Yan Zhu were each using their special skills and were stuck in a temporary stalemate, some people seemed unwilling to just be spectators.
But behind Yan Zhu, countless blood-red shadows suddenly flew out. When the overwhelming blood-red shadows crossed the moat and came to the sky above the East Gate, everyone could see clearly that those blood-red shadows were not human-like. To be more precise, they were semi-human monsters shaped like bats, but each of them was only as tall as a person, and their sharp teeth, blood-red flesh and huge wings looked quite terrifying!
Just as those half-man, half-bat monsters were swooping down towards the East Gate wall with their bloody mouths wide open, a cold and angry shout came from the top of the wall: "You're bullying our Ruoye tribe because they have no one?"
Before he finished speaking, several figures suddenly flew out from the city wall and confronted those half-human, half-bat monsters head-on.
The person leading the group was none other than Cang Yun, the commander of the second battalion of the Dragon Wing Army!
Breath of the Azure Dragon!
When necessary, he can transform into a flying dragon with the power of his mind!
Cang Yun, who inherited the direct bloodline of the Cang family, has just such a special skill!
With a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, Cang Yun's entire body had transformed into a giant dragon that soared into the sky. With his roar, those direct descendants of the Cang family who flew out with Cang Yun had also transformed into dragons. Countless green dragons circled over Yonghui City, confronting those fiery red bats head-on, spewing green flames from their mouths!
The bat monsters were not to be outdone, and they flapped their wings continuously, and blood-red circles of light spread out!
In an instant, green flames danced all over the sky and blood-red halos stirred the sky, creating a spectacle with the breath of death.
At this time, Canglan, who had already been fighting with the dark knights of the Kongming tribe, stood on the surface of the moat. After killing a dark knight with a powerful blow, he looked up at the sky and saw his brother's transformed blue dragon hovering above his head. Did Cangyun also use his special skills? Canglan exhaled heavily, and the blood in his eyes became more intense...
The leader of the Kongming tribe, Yan Zhu, sneered and suddenly took out a golden banner from his arms. On the banner was the mark of the demon tribe. It seemed that it was time to use the power of darkness!
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of Yan Zhu's mouth.
At this moment, behind Yan Zhu, a dark cavalryman who looked no different from an ordinary one suddenly moved!
The dark cavalryman flew out like an arrow in an instant, and the bone dragon spear in his hand contained supreme spiritual power and stabbed fiercely at Yan Zhu's back!
However, the face hidden under the black helmet was filled with an air of solemnity and determination!
Everything is for the Ruoye tribe!
That’s right, the man who had been disguised as a dark cavalryman and waiting for an opportunity behind Yan Zhu was none other than Nangong Wulie, the commander of the Dragon Wing Army who had suddenly disappeared in Yonghui City before!
While the fighting was in full swing outside the East Gate, Ping Lili was running wildly underground as if possessed by some mysterious force.
That’s right, it’s underground, and it’s underground outside the East Gate, which is deep underground where the Kongming tribe’s troops are!
This story starts with the young general of the Ruoye tribe who stopped Ying Lili at the moat outside the west gate.
The young general was none other than Nangong Lin, the youngest son of Nangong Wulie, the former commander of the Dragon Wing Army, and the one who had disappeared with his father after that shocking arrow. Although Ping Lili didn't know that the arrow was shot by his father, facing this young general who looked familiar but whose origin was unknown, Ping Lili was still extremely vigilant.
He is in cahoots with that imperial physician!
Point out a clear path for Pinglili.
A clear way to secretly attack the Kongming tribe’s army.
Ping Lili learned from Nangong Lin that his father, General Nangong Wulie, had already been lurking beside the Kongming tribe leader Yan Zhu, waiting for an opportunity to strike!
What surprised Ping Lili even more was that General Nangong was actually a multifaceted person. The so-called multifaceted person meant his multiple identities.
The leader of the Dragon Wing Army, this is his most superficial identity.
A traitor in Yonghui City and a spy of the Kongming Clan, this is his second identity.
A close confidant of the Emperor of the Ruoye clan.
In other words, General Nangong was playing out a counter-espionage scheme that was repeated over and over again.
He pretended to be bribed by the Kongming tribe and became their so-called insider. He saved Yan Yun's life before in order to completely gain the trust of the Kongming tribe. Later, he was entrusted with the important task of instigating a conflict between the Ruoye tribe and the Shamo tribe. After shooting a shocking arrow in Yonghui City, he quietly escaped from underground and joined the Kongming army that came from afar, thus completely gaining the trust of Yan Zhu, the leader of the Kongming tribe.
Although the final result after shooting the arrow of Gong Lili was not what the Kongming tribe wanted, it seems that from the perspective of the Kongming tribe, they could not find any fault with General Nangong. After all, it was the intention of the Kongming tribe to shoot that arrow, and General Nangong shot that arrow perfectly. As for the subsequent development of events, it was up to fate...
Nangong Wulie, who had gained Yan Zhu's trust, naturally stayed by Yan Zhu's side, ready to wait for an opportunity to act.
This happened before Nangong Lin sneaked into the west gate to fight against Ping Lili. At this time, Ping Lili and Nangong Lin did not know that on the ground, General Nangong Wulie had already taken action against Yan Zhu!
Nangong Lin's mission, however, was to follow his father's order and bring Ying Lili to that mysterious place, the place that could cut off the source of the Kongming tribe's dark power...
