Chapter 120
Seeing his methods broken one after another, Zhang Liang inevitably lost his composure.
In that very instant, General Li Guang decisively loosed an arrow.
“Rebel scum, die!”
The heavy arrow fell like a meteor, whistling as it punched straight through Zhang Liang’s chest.
It left behind a transparent hole the size of a bowl.
Zhang Liang let out a miserable scream. He was just about to attack General Li when the giant Jiao that Chang Huaiyuan had transformed into coiled tightly around him.
With a series of cracking, snapping explosions, every bone in Zhang Liang’s body shattered, and his body twisted into the shape of a hemp rope.
Chang Huaiyuan’s voice was cold and murderous.
“Vile beast, I promised the young master physician I would take your living soul, and I keep my word!”
With a roar, the giant Jiao opened its jaws wide, crushed Zhang Liang’s head, and swallowed it into its belly.
A fierce deity of a generation had died then and there!
Only an unwilling roar remained in the air.
“The Yellow Heaven will not perish! When my Eldest Brother awakens, that will be the day all your clans are wiped out!”
Chen Daji had never imagined that Chang Huaiyuan, who had always looked so refined and elegant in spotless white, could be this “brutal.”
Frightened, he whispered to Eighth Master Chang, “Eighth Master, your Big Brother is that fierce?!”
“You really can’t tell at all normally!”
Eighth Master Chang looked toward Chang Huaiyuan, who was roaring like dragons and tigers, and his gaze darted evasively.
“Stinking brat, now you know why I’m so scared of Big Brother, right?!”
“He’s insanely brutal!”
With the fierce deity dead, the next step was naturally to clean up the battlefield.
After this bitter battle, of the hundred Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits, fewer than fifty remained.
Amid that ancient, desolate war song, they silently re-formed their ranks and picked up their fallen comrades’ equipment, carrying it on their own backs.
Who says we have no clothes? I share my battle robe with you. When the king raises his armies, we ready our spears and halberds. With you, I share one hatred.
Who says we have no clothes? I share my under-robe with you. When the king raises his armies, we ready our spears and lances. With you, I rise to war.
Who says we have no clothes? I share my lower garments with you. When the king raises his armies, we ready our armor and weapons. With you, I march onward.
The song grew louder and louder, while the black aura around General Li Guang and the Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits grew fainter and fainter.
In the end, they all returned to the appearance they had possessed in life:
That invincible army that had gazed northwest, shot down the Celestial Wolf, and opened new frontiers for our divine land!
The Five Great Immortal Families and Hemp-clad Grandmother all stepped forward together and cupped their hands.
“After a thousand years, congratulations, General, on finally obtaining release!”
Li Guang led the Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits in dismounting and returning the salute.
“Many thanks to all of you for helping us slay the traitors!”
Chen Daji did not understand why, after Zhang Liang was killed, General Li Guang had undergone such a dramatic change.
All he could do was ask Hua Jiunan, “Big Brother, what’s going on?”
“When other people fight wars, people die. How come when it gets to us, we fight people back to life?!”
Hua Jiunan looked respectfully at the national hero before them and answered softly, “In General Li’s life, his one regret was that he could not take part in the Battle of Mobei and kill enemies for his country.”
“That was why he killed himself in shame and fury!”
“Because of that, he was even mocked by some in later generations for a thousand years.”
“Now that the Yellow Turban Army has been wiped out, it can be considered making up for that thousand-year regret.”
Hu Fei’er’s eyes shone like stars as she continued, “Now that the General’s wish has been fulfilled, with his merits and military achievements, it is only natural that he be granted Fengzheng on the spot.”
Hua Jiunan nodded, then leaped down from Eighth Master Chang and walked toward General Li Guang.
Chen Daji followed close behind without the slightest hesitation.
“Hua Jiunan congratulates you, General, on enduring your tribulation and being reborn!”
Li Guang looked at Hua Jiunan, his gaze burning bright.
“Young Friend, there is no need for such courtesy!”
“If you had not invited these Immortal Spirits to help today, my brothers and I would have had no hope of victory!”
“Li Guang thanks you here!”
The Hundred-Battle Warrior Spirits struck their breastplates with their weapons in unison.
“We thank you, little brother!”
Hua Jiunan immediately cupped his fists and returned the salute.
After a brief hesitation, Li Guang looked at the earrings Hu Fei’er was wearing, then softly asked Hua Jiunan, “Young Friend, do you know the Valiant General?”
Hua Jiunan was taken aback. “You mean Uncle Snow Corpse?”
Li Guang nodded. “Yes, him.”
“For some unknown reason, some days ago, the Valiant General charged into the underworld alone and seized a soul.”
“He is now wanted by the netherworld and trapped in the Yin-Yang Realm.”
“The situation is extremely dangerous. Young Friend, you must think of a way to rescue him!”
Hua Jiunan gave Li Guang a solemn, deep bow.
“Many thanks for informing me, General!”
Li Guang nodded and turned to leave.
But his voice rang beside Hua Jiunan’s ear.
“If Young Friend can get in touch with the Valiant General, tell him to come find me at Xiaoyu Mountain in the Yin-Yang Realm.”
“For the sake of today’s bond, I will do my utmost to protect him.”
Hua Jiunan said nothing. He merely bowed again to see him off.
Li Guang mounted his warhorse and cupped his fists toward Hemp-clad Grandmother and the five great spirit medium entities.
“Now that matters here are settled, this is farewell!”
“As for these surrendered rebels, I will take them back to Fengdu City and hand them over to Prefect Cui for judgment.”
Hu Qingshan glanced at everyone and was just about to agree when Hua Jiunan interrupted him.
Pointing at one Flying Corpse, he said, “General Li, please understand. He cannot leave!”
“This ‘person’ injured Fei’er. I once swore I would scatter his soul until nothing remained!”
The moment Hua Jiunan finished speaking, without waiting for anyone else to react, Old Sixth Hui smacked the Flying Corpse’s head to pieces with one palm.
A surge of black aura seeped out, only to be swallowed by Old Sixth Hui in one mouthful.
“Anyone the young master physician wants dead must die!”
Bai Wuwei, the head of the Bai Family, looked at the murderous Old Sixth Hui, then looked at Hua Jiunan, thoughts stirring in his mind.
No wonder the young master physician values that old Hui man so highly!
From now on, I must learn to do as he does!
