Joy of Life: Born to Ye Qingmei, raised by Li Yunrui

Chapter 113 Deathly Silence

However, in the heart of Northern Qi, a force of 200,000 elite troops, personally led by Shang Shanhu, the top general of Northern Qi, did not collapse. Instead, they quickly assembled and prepared for a decisive battle, attempting to stop Ye Tian's unstoppable advance.

The two armies faced each other from afar on a vast plain called "Weeping Blood Slope".

Uesugi Tiger, clad in heavy armor, wielding a massive axe, and riding his prized black steed, exuded an imposing aura, befitting his title as the God of War of Northern Qi. He stared at the Qing army opposite him, far outnumbered but radiating a chilling killing intent, and at the black demon legion that seemed to have emerged from hell; his expression grew extremely grave.

"Is the commander of the opposing Qing army none other than Prince Qin, Ye Tian?!" Uesugi Tora's voice boomed like a bell, echoing throughout the battlefield. "I, Uesugi Tora! You, at such a young age, dare to use such sorcery and evil magic to attack my formidable pass and cripple my soldiers! Do you dare to fight me on the battlefield to decide the outcome?!"

He knew that against that strange black cavalry, the Northern Qi army had no chance of winning in conventional battle. Their only hope was to kill the enemy commander and shake their morale!

Ye Tian, ​​dressed in a white robe that covered his golden armor, stood out conspicuously against the backdrop of the vast army. He spurred his horse forward, and a simple, ancient-looking longsword appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming and subtly shimmering.

"Shang Shanhu of Northern Qi? He's not bad, is he?" Ye Tian's voice was calm, yet carried an arrogance that seemed to look down upon the world. "I am Ye Tian. If you can defeat the sword in my hand, today I will spare the lives of your two hundred thousand Northern Qi soldiers. What do you say?"

"Arrogant!" Uesugi Tora roared angrily, then stopped talking. He spurred his horse's belly with his legs, and his black horse, Wuzhui, moved like a black lightning bolt. The giant axe in his hand, carrying the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter peaks, cleaved down towards Ye Tian's head!

This axe strike embodies the lifelong power of Uesugi Tiger, a peak ninth-rank martial general, and is incredibly powerful!

However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, Ye Tian simply raised the long sword in his hand.

There were no earth-shattering clashes of energy, no dazzling changes in moves.

There was only one sword light, both extremely fast and extremely precise.

That sword light seemed to come from another world. It ignored the distance in space and the passage of time. In the instant before anyone, including Uesugi Tora himself, could react, it had already silently sliced ​​across his neck.

"laugh--"

A soft sound, like the tearing of cloth, rang out.

Uesugi Torato's forward-charging figure suddenly froze in mid-air. The giant axe in his hand remained in the downward chopping posture, but his tiger eyes were filled with disbelief, confusion, and fear.

He lowered his head, as if trying to see what had happened.

Then, a huge head, accompanied by a gush of blood, shot up from his neck!

The headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The military genius of Northern Qi, Shang Shanhu, was actually killed instantly by Qin King Ye Tian with a single sword strike!

"hiss--!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, both the Qing army and the Northern Qi army gasped in shock and fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately following was a deafening roar of fear and despair (for the Northern Qi army), and a surge of fervor and worship (for the Qing army)!

"Marshal's divine might! Marshal's divine might!" The soldiers of the Qing Kingdom erupted in a deafening cheer.

Si Lili and Sang Wen, who were on the lookout vehicle in Ye Tian's central military tent, witnessed this mythical scene. Their beautiful eyes were wide open and their mouths were slightly agape, completely shocked!

"Your Highness, Your Highness, he is simply, he is a god descended from heaven!" Sang Wen murmured to himself, his eyes filled with stars. His worship and love for Ye Tian had reached the point of blind delusion.

Si Lili trembled violently. Looking at the peerless figure in white, sword in hand, standing proudly before the army, who had slain the Northern Qi's military god with a single strike, she felt her heart and soul completely captivated! This was the true hero! The true overlord! All her previous schemes to manipulate Ye Tian had vanished, replaced by a willing submission and a flicker of ambition to follow him and create an unparalleled empire together!

Fan Xian was already inside the carriage. Looking at Ye Tian, ​​who resembled a demon god in the distance, and the approaching Snow Dragon Riders exuding an endless aura of death, he felt his understanding being refreshed and overturned time and time again. He now had no doubt that if Ye Tian wanted to take his life, he probably wouldn't even need to make a single move.

"kill--!"

Ye Tian pointed his long sword, and the 100,000 Great Snow Dragon Riders behind him, like a black torrent unleashed, launched a devastating charge against the Northern Qi army, whose morale had long since collapsed and whose fighting spirit had been completely extinguished!

Unstoppable! Devastating!

The Northern Qi army of 200,000 men was utterly defeated and routed under the combined attack of Ye Tian and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. Countless soldiers were killed or wounded and surrendered.

After this battle, Ye Tian's reputation as "Invincible in White" resounded throughout Northern Qi and spread throughout the world!

.

The news spread back to the capital of Qing Kingdom like snowflakes.

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Qing listened to the report from the commander of the secret guards, whose voice trembled as he said, "Tiger Roar Pass was breached in a single day. Shang Shanhu was beheaded by the Prince of Qin with a single sword strike in front of the enemy lines. The 200,000-strong army of Northern Qi was annihilated. Under the command of the Prince of Qin, a mysterious iron cavalry of about 100,000 men has appeared. Their combat power is overwhelming. It is suspected that they are divine soldiers descended from the heavens."

"Clang!" The imperial brush in Emperor Qing's hand fell to the ground uncontrollably.

His face turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any color. He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to his head, leaving him icy cold and his limbs weak.

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand mysterious iron cavalry, obeying only Ye Tian's command," Emperor Qing muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief, fear, and despair. "He... he's going to rebel! He's really going to rebel!"

That familiar, irrepressible warm current surged from beneath him once more. This supreme ruler, upon hearing this news that was enough to overturn his entire understanding and imperial power, was once again so frightened that he wet himself!

"What to do, what to do?!" Emperor Qing slumped onto his dragon throne, utterly distraught, repeating the same phrase over and over. He felt as if his end was truly nigh.

"Quickly, summon Ye Liuyun! Summon Hong Banban! Tell them, tell them to get over here immediately! We need to discuss a plan! Now!" Emperor Qing roared hoarsely, his voice filled with boundless fear and a trace of unwilling madness. He would stop Ye Tian at all costs! Stop this bastard who was a hundred times more terrifying than Ye Qingmei!

···············

Qing Kingdom, Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

Emperor Qing paced back and forth on his dragon throne like a trapped beast.

His usually dignified and profound face was now filled with terror and ferocity.

And at this moment.

Ye Liuyun and Hong Sixiang stood on either side, bowing respectfully. Both of them were pale and breathless, clearly indicating that their previous injuries were far from healed, and the fear in their hearts at this moment only made things worse.

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand iron cavalry who only obey Ye Tian's command! Descending from the sky! Hahaha, truly, heaven is helping me, heaven is destroying me!"

Emperor Qing let out a maniacal laugh, a laugh filled with endless sorrow and despair. "Where did he get this demonic army from?! Could it be... could it be a contingency plan left behind by Ye Qingmei? That bitch! Even in death she won't let me rest in peace!"

He abruptly stopped laughing, his eyes flashing with venom: "Ye Liuyun, Hong Banban! Tell me! What should we do now?!"

"My Tiger Roar Pass was breached overnight! Uesugi Tiger was beheaded by that bastard with a single sword strike! The 200,000-strong army of Northern Qi was slaughtered like pigs and dogs! Next, will he lead his 100,000 demonic troops to flatten my Northern Qi, and then... then turn his horses around and take my head?!"
