"You..."
Qiao Daoqing struggled hard, only to find that the silver Dragon Beard Rope was getting tighter and tighter.
Besides, all the power in his body had been sealed. He could only hopelessly give up struggling, yet he was still unwilling to admit defeat.
"You may be able to block me, but can you possibly block the thousands of elite soldiers of Jin?"
Qiao Daoqing looked down coldly.
Earlier, when he sealed the cannon positions with the black cloud and displaced Li Yuanba from the line of defense, a thousand soldiers in Tian Hu's troops had successfully made it to the volcano top.
At this moment, they were fighting the people of the Twin Dragon Island in a chaotic battle. The previously invulnerable cannons and guns were much less powerful than before.
Also, casting spells was much more exhausting than fighting with martial arts.
Even though Gongsun Sheng had reached Extraordinary Rank-9, it was hardly possible for him to turn things around!
"Is that so?"
With his face unchanged, Gongsun Sheng waved his robe and put the Five Birds Illusionary Fiend Fan in his spacious sleeve.
He then opened his mouth and said, "Why don't you look up at the sky?"
The cloud in the sky was displaying the picture of somewhere else taken from the perspective of someone high in the sky.
At the central area of the Twin Dragon Island, troops wearing bright armor and holding flags saying "Great General Du" or "Tiger General Yuan" had appeared!
While Tian Hu and the soldiers of Liao were delayed by the battle participants of the Twin Dragon Island in Dragon City and the Demon Volcano, Wang Qing's troops of Chu had been pressing on unstoppably, and they already reached the island where the settlement core was located.
Some of the elite soldiers even somehow broke the lines of defense and were already attacking the Twin Dragon Mount fort where a lot of yellow power of providence was floating.
Although the people of the Twin Dragon Island who attacked Fang La returned for defense, it was evident that they were all heavily wounded. Their armor was bloodstained. Some of them even had severed limbs and were vomiting blood nonstop in battle.
Anyone could tell that they were in an extremely dangerous situation!
Faced with the live stream that appeared out of nowhere, how would Tian Hu and the troops of Liao react?
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Bells sounded at the foot of the Demon Volcano, which was a signal to retreat.
"Stop the attack and fall back!
"Leave thirty percent of our men to defend this place in case those people attack us from our rear. The rest of you will follow me to the mountain that's covered in a yellow cloud. Kill whoever in our way!"
The order that Tian Hu quickly issued inside the golden chariot that was more than three meters tall was quickly relayed to all the troops.
That was the only choice he could make.
After all, if Wang Qing conquered the Twin Dragon Mount fort and seized the settlement core, it would be pointless even if they killed everybody on the Demon Volcano!
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister was caught by the enemy. He's still up there..."
The head of guards who stood next to the golden chariot reminded him in a low voice.
"The Prime Minister will understand my decision!"
Inside the golden chariot, Tian Hu sounded rather calm.
Before he entered this "divine realm", he had been quite reliant on Qiao Daoqing, and he gave the man an assortment of titles and positions.
But in this divine realm, he had been given enormous power, and he didn't really need the Prime Minister as he did before.
Besides, according to the instructions of the deity in his head, if he couldn't get what was on the mountain that was covered in a yellow light, he would have to leave this divine realm, which was unacceptable for him who had finally received extraordinary strength.
"Let's go!"
After Tian Hu gave the order, the tall golden chariot emanated a strong golden light that turned into a golden Flood Dragon in front of the chariot.
Then, it quickly pulled the golden chariot towards the Twin Dragon Island.
"Look at the sky! What's that?"
At the same time, the troops of Liao on the Musical House Island noticed the live stream on the cloud too.
"Is it a warning from the God of the Sun that we must hurry up?"
The Qidan people worshiped the power of the sun and stars, and the soldiers of Liao thought that they entered the Land of Inheritance because of the direction of the God of the Sun.
"It's true. Some troops have indeed reached that island!"
He Zhongbao, the deputy commander of Liao whom Ji Ye detected at the beginning, flew to the sky on a winged horse and confirmed the information.
"Let's split up!"
After hearing what He Zhongbao said, in the rear of the Liao troops, a middle-aged man who wore a purple crown and a golden armor with a black long whip in one hand and a purple halberd in the other thought for a moment and decided to leave some people to surround Dragon City with the Star Flags while all the rest of the soldiers marched towards the Twin Dragon Island at full speed!
...
"What's happening here?"
"Have we really reached the mountain? It's so easy?"
At the same time, Wang Qing's troops, who had indeed set foot on the Twin Dragon Island, were rather confused.
Their battle was evidently much easier than the other three parties. It was several dozen men with superpowers who tried to stop them. Although those people could spew out flames, crack armor with noises, and even change their gender, and one of them could shoot out red rays of light from his eyes and killed dozens of soldiers as well as a general, there wasn't really much they could do.
There were too few men with superpowers to stop the march of ten thousand soldiers.
After they crossed the island in the front and reached the mountain that was about a thousand meters high, the enemy's defenses suddenly intensified. All kinds of firearms were launched, and a lot of them were wounded and killed in every barrage.
There were also traps everywhere on the ground too. Many people were blown up to the sky after huge explosions, and the flames and shrapnel that sprang from the ground could kill those around them!
As a result, the ten thousand soldiers could hardly press forward although their enemies were outnumbered.
"Your Majesty, you were truly visionary to have foreseen this.
"Not only did you ask us to march openly, but you have also sent a secret troop to attack the enemy's heartland!
"The enemy will certainly be shocked to learn that their heartland has been taken. Then, we only need to press further and break this line of defense!"
One of the Chu soldiers spoke to Wang Qing who wore an emperor's robe in admiration.
Unlike Fang La who had a yellowish face and Tian Hu who was obese, Wang Qing had quite a handsome appearance.
According to the original novel, he had thick eyebrows, a pretty face, and a tall body, and he was extremely good at seducing women.
Apart from anything else, Wang Qing was truly good at dealing with women.
Other than the Four Greatest Rebels, there were also Four Greatest Villains, namely Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Yang Jian, and Tong Guan.
All of them were extremely powerful. For example, Cai Jing, head of the Four Greatest Villains, was the Prime Minister, and Yang Jian and Tong Guan were both eunuchs that the emperor trusted very much.
Technically speaking, Gao Qiu's position was the lowliest among them.
However, Lin Chong was forced to go to Liangshan when he had a thriving career as a coach in the army only because Gao Qiu's son lusted for his wife!
In comparison, Wang Qing seduced a woman named Jiao Xiu, who was the daughter of Tong Guan's brother Tong Shi and Yang Jian's granddaughter, and who was raised by Tong Guan as his own daughter and betrothed to Cai Jing's grandson.
He had definitely made a much more horrible mistake than Lin Chong did.
