Chapter 992 Gu Changqing—Death!
"Ignore the illusion! Attack his real body!"
Xuanwu's expression changed drastically, but then he heard Su Ye shout in a low voice.
The Styx Ancestor chuckled strangely, "Young Master Su, you have quite the insight!"
Before he finished speaking, his true form suddenly turned into a blood mist and disappeared, reappearing behind Xuanwu.
The Avici Sword stabbed towards Xuanwu's neck like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, but strangely changed direction when it touched the armor. The muscles under Xuanwu's heavy armor suddenly bulged, and with a backhand mace, it shattered the Blood God Child, but deliberately created an opening.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, after a brief delay by Zhuque, Kong Xuan, having recovered, once again pressed against Li Cunxiao.
Li Cunxiao's tiger eyes snapped open, and his body's qi suddenly surged. Bi Yan's broken chain transformed into a blood python that coiled around Kong Xuan's battle blade, while Yu Wang's spear emerged like a silver dragon from the sea, its qi, over ten feet long, directly cleaving the general's flagpole in half!
Not far from the two of them, behind the command platform, Gu Changqing, who looked like a lamb to the slaughter, glanced at Kong Xuan, who was barely holding on, and Gao Po, who was already being shrouded in a cloud of blood mist behind him. Suddenly realizing something, a complex expression appeared on his face.
As a veteran minister who had served the Great Qian Dynasty for decades, how could Gu Changqing not recognize the iconic figure of the Styx Ancestor? Recalling the shocking news in the Great Qian Imperial Palace not long ago, the old Grand Tutor finally realized that something was amiss.
The moment the bronze warrior cleaved through the blood mist, the command platform of Yu Wang's spear suddenly collapsed by half a foot.
"Order Li Cunxiao to obey! Form the Big Dipper Formation and break out through the Gate of Life! Withdraw from the battlefield!"
"Kong Xuan, you traitor! You, King Yu, have received the imperial favor of eight generations of Emperor Qian. How could you possibly work with such treacherous officials and villains!"
Gu Changqing was covered in blood, and only half of the Xuanwu Heavy Sword remained in his hand.
At this time, I led four hundred daredevils down the city wall and burned eighty enemy battalions. When I returned, seventy-one arrows were stuck under my battle robe. When the late emperor personally pulled the arrows out for me, he said, "With Gu Qing's physique, he may live until my great-grandson succeeds to the throne."
"With Gu Qing's old leg pain, I'm afraid even my imperial carriage can't catch up with him."
My right sleeve suddenly exploded into dust. Kang Jinlong's heavy halberd grazed past my arm armor, ploughing out eight feet of sparks beneath it.
The blades of the silver-armored cavalry wove a net of light in the morning glow, shattering the protective energy of the Azure Dragon Star Array.
Suddenly, Zeng Shan's token rose into the air and was carried away by the old general's first wisp of qi, flying into the distance.
Long before the order was issued, Zeng Shanyong's remaining troops in the rear hastily ended their formation change. More than 10,000 elite soldiers formed more than 7,000 large formations with one person as the unit, and each large formation was arranged according to the position of the Big Dipper.
The bronze bronze vessel, Zeng Shanyong, crashed down with overwhelming force!
"All generals, listen to my command!"
At this moment, the late emperor stuffed the Xuanwu token into my hand and said with a smile.
Yu the Great, gazing at the now-shaking army formation, suddenly drew out the foremost command arrow.
"Young warriors, follow this old man..."
"For eight hundred years, Xiaoqian has nurtured its warriors; today... we shall offer our blood to Xuanyuan!"
Yu Wangshuo suddenly shouted, and Gu Changqing was startled. I saw the old general pierce his right palm with the tip of his knife, and blood dripped onto Zeng Shan's token under the general's desk.
As the eight-dynasty veteran gazed at the morning light pouring down from the dome, he vaguely saw the battle flags fluttering atop the northern border city eighty years later.
My reply at the time drew laughter from the entire court, and now, looking back, it was the most arrogant thing I had ever said in my life.
Amidst the towering flames, Yu Wang Shuo, at the forefront, glanced towards the direction of Qiandu.
Suddenly, the remaining Big Dipper formation of Li Cunxiao in the rear erupted with soaring energy, tearing a gap in Kong Xuan's army.
Yu the Great drew his golden-inlaid sword, and his clear old eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. I looked at his right flank, which had ended its retreat, and suddenly pulled out the Xuanwu token from the general's table.
The old Grand Tutor sighed inwardly.
The white flag of Kong Xuanjun in front of me had spread over the eight deer forts, and the seven small cinnabar characters "Huang Tian Dang Li" under the flag were stained black with blood.
The Azure Dragon, covered in blood overnight, had his gold thread under his battle robe torn to shreds by the qi, but now looked like a demon crawling out of a battlefield, with eerie green phosphorescence flickering in his eyes.
"Don't worry about this old man!"
Xiao Hanyi, the Horned Dragon, who also charged down, pointed his Dragon Horn Spear at the command platform, the tip of the spear more than eight inches from the old general's throat.
"The Tian Shu position is prominent!"
That scarlet battle robe that accompanied me through seventy years of battles has now transformed into the blood-red setting sun beneath the battlefield.
A lieutenant charged forward with a roar, while a cavalryman formed an arrowhead, piercing through Kong Xuan's shield wall. Our blades targeted the heart of the formation, and with each layer breached, the formation automatically filled the gaps as if it were alive.
Suddenly, he sprang into action, his golden-inlaid sword transforming into a sky full of sword shadows. It was the "Flying Star One Killing Blade," a family heirloom of the Gu family. Xiao Hanyi silently took a step forward, leaving a deep, bone-revealing sword wound on the Dragon Horn Spear.
All eyes were instantly focused on the old general, whose battle robe was now tattered into strips, and a deep knife wound on his chest revealed the bone. I looked at the setting sun and suddenly chuckled.
The old general's murmurs faded into the shouts of battle. Before issuing the first order, Tan Mengjun, who was already far away from me, finally forced his way into Xuan Tie.
Yu Wangshuo supported his body with his golden-inlaid sword, the tip of which carved a half-inch deep groove in the blue brick. Looking at the surging torrent of black-armored soldiers in front of Xiao Hanyi and the others, he suddenly recalled the same white-clad enemy army on the city wall of Yunzhou seventy years later.
"Grand Tutor!"
At this moment, Tan Mengjun's aura had transformed into a tangible azure dragon, its scales sparking as they brushed against the flagpole of the command platform.
"Cover the area at Tianxuan position!"
Gu Changqing charged in, covered in blood. The Xuan Turtle Shield was shattered into a piece. A hundred wounded soldiers followed in front of me.
The scarlet cloak that Yu Wang had removed from his spear was hanging in mid-air, nailed into a blooming blood peony by eleven streams of qi—it turned out that Meng Zhang's Azure Dragon Heavenly Constellation Legion had arrived at the command platform.
"Let's retreat!"
Even though he had tried his best, he still couldn't save the Great Qian Dynasty from its decline.
"withdraw!"
But the old general was eventually exhausted. When his first strike missed, he staggered and knelt down. Gu Changqing, who was in front of him, had eyes wide open in horror. He threw out half of the Xuanwu Heavy Sword with a mournful howl.
But... it's too late!
I saw the Azure Dragon Heavenly Destiny Legion in Kong Xuan's army break through the direction of Chongyan Guard like a black torrent, heading towards the commander's flag. The cold light in the hand of the leading Jiao Mujiao streaked across the battlefield like a meteor.
The old general's voice suddenly became hoarse. Looking at the eighth Zeng Shan army pouring into the valley, I suddenly whispered, "To die!"
"Grand Tutor Gu, surrender."
"This old minister's horse spear is always slower than Your Majesty's imperial carriage."
The crossbow carts of Chongyan Guard were laid flat, and ropes with iron claws were fired. The ropes became entangled in Kong Xuanjun's battle flag, and the crossbowmen worked together to twist and pull a star flag to the ground.
"Grand Tutor! Meng Zhang has prepared far too few tricks up his sleeve."
"Your Majesty, this old minister... has done his best!"
Xiao Hanyi parried with his spear, sparks flying onto the broken plaque of the command platform, revealing the seven gilded characters "Qiankun Zhengqi" (Righteousness of Heaven and Earth) personally inscribed by the late emperor.
The golden-inlaid sword struck heavily, and the commander's flag fell to the ground. Yu Wang took off his blood-stained cloak and threw it into the air.
My aged fingers traced the arrow's fletching, and suddenly I held the gold-inlaid sword to my neck.
There were many more details I wanted to write, but many people said it took too long, so I had to end it quickly.

The outcome is the same anyway, so continuing to write will only result in some battlefield details...
