Chapter 115: Lies From 20 Years Ago (Really Two Chapters in One)

Chapter 115 Lies from 20 years ago (True·Two chapters in one)

Three months later, the border battlefield between the two countries, which had already been clear, suddenly became turbulent again.

In the morning, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle.

The Xingluo Empire's camp, which was nearly 100 miles long, was like an ancient giant beast lying on the plain in front of the mountains. The sight was full of tension and murderous atmosphere.

But under this murderous appearance, it was hard to hide the fatigue and anxiety.

They are now at an absolute disadvantage.

The military strength of the Tiandou Empire was actually much weaker than that of the Xingluo Empire. Whether it was the combat quality of the ordinary army or the average strength of the soul master corps, they were all very average.

But with the secret support of the Wuhun Hall, the Xingluo Empire was suppressed and retreated step by step, and could only shrink its defense line.

At this point, the only thing they can do is to stick to the border and use the natural barriers to delay time, but there is no way to organize a counterattack.

Even if the famous Titled Douluo elders in the Spirit Hall are not convenient to take action, there are always some unknown people who can appear on the battlefield and bring great pressure to the Xingluo army.

Any Titled Douluo-level combat power will have a huge impact on the local war situation, not to mention that there are far more than one Titled Douluo on the Tiandou side at this time.

In addition, a large number of soul masters in the Spirit Hall are continuously deployed on the battlefield, which has increased the military strength to an extremely exaggerated level.

In the past few months, the Xingluo Empire's defense lines on the plains have been quickly defeated and dismantled.

However, the Tiandou Empire is advancing steadily and is difficult to stop.

Fifty miles outside the Xingluo Empire's war camp, after breakfast in the early morning.

Thunderous war drums were heard in the distance, and everyone knew that the Tiandou Empire had begun to attack again.

One after another, square formations appeared outside the camp, and each huge square formation was composed of tens of thousands of people.

With a series of orders from the Central Army, hundreds of thousands of Tiandou Empire troops slowly moved forward. There were ten heavy cavalry regiments, which were all the heavy cavalry that Tiandou Empire brought this time.

They were not advancing fast, but the overwhelming pressure made the earth tremble.

Following behind the ten heavy armored corps were the 22,000 soul masters assembled by Tiandou Empire.

After that, ten light cavalry corps rushed out from both wings, all composed of soul masters.

The plain battlefield was continuously cut into countless small battlefields, so that the soul masters in each corps could play their role to the maximum extent.

With the joint efforts of tens of thousands of soul masters, the soul skills of fire and ice attributes were quickly laid on the battlefield.

With the various auxiliary soul skills being applied to the heavy cavalry, the momentum of the entire army formation was greatly improved.

The powerful pressure that came in the face made the commander-in-chief of the Xingluo Empire military look even uglier.

This kind of situation has been repeated countless times in the past three months.

In this situation, the only thing they can do is to use the terrain advantage to barely cope with it.

Fortunately, the Tiandou Corps is not in a hurry now, and has no intention of fighting with the Xingluo Empire. Instead, it slowly eats away at it, and divides the battlefield bit by bit while maintaining its own strength.

But everyone knows that this weak balance will not last too long.

Zhu Zhuyun walked in the military camp with worry.

Her soul power is exhausted at this time. As a strong man at the high-level soul king level, she has a higher degree of freedom on the battlefield and can retreat to the military camp to rest at any time.

But she is alone and not with Davis.

On the one hand, with Davis's identity, there are not many opportunities to go to the battlefield, and there are also many things in the imperial capital.

On the other hand, the two of them have not used the martial soul fusion technique for a long time.

Since the conversation with Zhu Zhuqing many years ago, a considerable barrier has gradually formed between her and Davis.

Moreover, the martial soul fusion technique is something that has strong explosive power but consumes soul power. On the battlefield, it is far less useful than her fighting alone and using the characteristics of the Nether Spirit Cat to assassinate and attack.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes, which were originally bright and charming, were full of confusion.

The current situation of the empire is getting worse and worse. With her knowledge, she can't think of any way to break the situation.

But at this critical juncture, Zhu Zhuqing, the real core of the Zhu family faction, suddenly disappeared, which made her heart shrouded in a layer of gloom.

When she asked her father before, the news she got was just to wait with peace of mind.

But how can she be at ease at this time?

Whether it is to seize power in the imperial capital or to establish merits on the battlefield, even if it is to prevent the Tiandou royal family from liquidating after the country is destroyed, she can't do nothing.

If the border cannot be defended, then the demise of the entire empire is really just a matter of time.

Not only Zhu Zhuqing, but also Su Cheng has been missing for some time.

Over the years, because of Zhu Zhuqing, she is familiar with Su Cheng and knows some of his details.

Compared to her increasingly dazzling sister, although Su Cheng is not well-known, his strength should not be underestimated, and he is even stronger in cultivation.

The most important thing is that Su Cheng often has some unexpected ideas, but he can always hit the nail on the head.

Occasionally, a few words of advice to her can help her gain a lot of new insights.

She even inexplicably feels that Su Cheng's understanding of the Nether Spirit Cat Martial Spirit is a little better than that of the people in their Zhu family.

She had an inexplicable intuition in her heart that as long as these two people could be present, even if they could not reverse the situation, they would definitely play a key role.

Moreover, the martial soul fusion skills displayed by these two people were completely different from hers.

That strange Netherworld White Tiger, except for its slightly inferior soul power, was definitely not weaker than ordinary Titled Douluo in terms of strength.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a cry of surprise.

"... What is that?!"

"It's the Netherworld White Tiger!"

"It's the Netherworld White Tiger, the martial soul fusion skill unique to the royal family and the Zhu family!"

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun heard the noise and looked back suddenly.

She saw a white tiger phantom tens of meters long passing through the air like a gust of wind.

But she was more and more surprised at this time, and even unconsciously opened her red lips slightly.

Zhu Zhuyun, who was very familiar with this martial soul fusion skill, could see that it was not the Netherworld White Tiger, the martial soul fusion skill.

It was a person's martial soul true body!

"How is it possible..."

The huge white tiger was flying in the air.

The transparent wings formed by the hurricane behind it whistled and raised gusts of wind, and in an instant, it crossed hundreds of meters and went straight to the center of the battlefield!

At this time, there was a Title Douluo-level strongman from the Tiandou Empire camp who was wantonly wielding various soul skills and constantly slaughtering the soul master army of the Xingluo Empire.

The next moment, the man suddenly felt a terrifying killing intent sweeping behind him.

Then there was a gust of wind, and as soon as he turned around, a sharp claw had already slapped.

The eighth soul skill of the Nether White Tiger-Divine Wind Slash!

This soul skill, which comes from the mutated 100,000-year soul ring, can integrate Zhu Zhuqing's whole body strength into one claw, exerting strength and speed to the limit. It is her strongest single attack skill now.

The Title Douluo, whose soul power had already consumed more than half, was instantly shrouded in the breath of death and quickly made a move to defend.

Although he successfully used his soul skills to resist, he still couldn't resist the attack. The huge claw marks passed through his body, and his aura instantly faded and dissipated.

After the huge white tiger attacked, it was as powerful as thunder and never stopped.

It jumped directly over, swept into another battlefield in the wind, and killed another Titled Douluo who was showing his power with one claw.

Then, the domineering netherworld white tiger began to run rampant on the battlefield.

The wings of the wind god fluttered wantonly, harvesting the high-level soul masters of the Tiandou side with absolute power and speed advantages.

When they reacted and sent several Titled Douluo to join the battlefield to contain them, they had already suffered heavy losses.

At this time, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power had reached the bottom, and seeing that the opponent had a new combat power, he did not continue to entangle.

After using two group attack soul skills, he quickly retreated to the Xingluo army formation.

Titled Douluo is not that easy to kill.

Although she had killed two enemy warriors with a thunderbolt attack, it was only because Zhu Zhuqing was too fast and the Tiandou side had not expected such a variable.

The two Title Douluo had already consumed a lot of soul power in the previous battle, but Zhu Zhuqing used all her strength right from the start and used powerful soul skills in the state of martial soul true body to succeed.

It is almost impossible to replicate the results of the previous battle in the future.

But this is enough.

For a while, the morale of the Xingluo army was greatly boosted, and there were signs of gaining the upper hand.

However, the ordinary army of the Tiandou Empire did not suffer many casualties.

Zhu Zhuqing had not paid attention to these mortals before.

Her soul power is limited, and she must exert the maximum effect for the first appearance. It is meaningless to waste soul power on these people.

The number of troops of the two countries exceeds one million. With her soul power, even if the opponent stands still and lets her kill them, she can't kill them all, not to mention that the opponent is not without high-end combat power. If she delays for a long time, she will put herself in danger.

Besides, she disdains to do so.

The Nether White Tiger is indeed extremely murderous, but that is for the enjoyment of killing in battle, not for meaningless slaughter.

Slaughtering mortals will only wear down her will, and will do more harm than good.

At her current level, if she wants to go further, she will focus on perception, not the simple accumulation of resources.

Unless it is a special resource that transcends the level of this world, such as the inheritance of the throne of God.

After this battle, not only the Heaven Dou Empire was shocked, but even the Xingluo Empire was completely shocked.

Zhu Zhuqing almost turned the current situation around by herself.

Now, although Zhu Zhuqing, who has the Nether White Tiger spirit in her hand, has just entered the threshold of the peak Douluo, even those peak Douluos at level 96 may not be her opponents.

Even the Spirit Hall, if it cannot offer sacrifices, can do nothing to her for the time being if it does not want to waste a lot of lives.

Not long after, the Heaven Dou Empire chose to call off the battle.

However, it is conceivable that when the next battle comes, those world-famous top Douluos in the Spirit Hall will probably take action.

After Zhu Zhuqing returned to the military camp, she immediately removed the spirit body state and came to Zhu Zhuyun's side.

At this time, her face was pale and almost transparent.

In just a short period of time, her soul power was almost exhausted.

The short-term explosive power of the Nether White Tiger Spirit was almost unreasonable, but the speed of soul power consumption was also ridiculously fast.

"Zhuqing, you are finally here."

The dark clouds covering Zhu Zhuyun's heart dissipated instantly at this time.

Her eyes immediately became bright.

But amid the joy, there was also a hint of hesitation.

Zuo Zi glanced around, smiled and teased: "Where's your little follower, why is it missing? I remember, aren't you two always inseparable?"

"..." Zhu Zhuqing paused for a moment before saying softly: "Are you talking about Su Cheng? He can't come for the time being."

"That's right..." Zhu Zhuyun nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing, "But why have you become so strong now? And that was the Netherworld White Tiger just now, right? But your martial spirit ...?”

"Well, my martial soul has undergone some mutations, and my strength has been broken through because of this."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't explain much.

In fact, with her current strength, she no longer needs to explain anything to anyone.

But Zhu Zhuyun was different to her after all.

"Mutation?" Zhu Zhuyun's smile froze.

Then it quickly returned to its sweet and soft appearance.

"I really envy you, Zhuqing. It would be great if I could be like you." She sighed softly.

"With your current strength, you can finally completely control your own destiny. Dai Mubai and the like can easily make him go away. And you have a friend like Su Cheng who stands by your side wholeheartedly and is so strong. , he is usually nice to talk to, and it is really comfortable to get along with him. ”

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at Zhu Zhuyun, and said in astonishment: "You think so?"

"What?"

"...Su Cheng is my friend, and I feel comfortable getting along with him."

"Isn't that what you think?" The smile on Zhu Zhuyun's face was a little difficult to maintain, "Su Cheng is just a tool in your eyes?"

Her soft-lined cheeks were slightly stiff at this time, looking very unnatural.

"Zhuqing, maybe you have really changed. No, you changed more than ten years ago, but I just don't want to admit it." Zhu Zhuyun sighed.

"Actually, sometimes I feel really lucky. I am weak in ability and have little use value. This at least proves that your feelings for me are real."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhu Zhuyun blankly, his already bloodless cheeks becoming paler.

She didn't expect that Su Cheng would be such a person in her sister's eyes.

Is it because I have been with him for too long and have become accustomed to those efforts as a matter of course?

On the contrary, in the eyes of outsiders, they can see it more clearly.

Or maybe it's because he never pretends in front of himself and often shows his ruthless and cynical side. Instead, he is always polite, gentle, and humble towards others.

Which one is the real him?

Maybe I thought wrongly.

The side he showed in front of him was disguise.

But why...

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that she had been with Su Cheng for more than 20 years, but she didn't even understand what kind of person the other person was.

How have you spent these years?

He practiced hard day and night and fought for power and gain by any means necessary.

Maybe, as Zhu Zhuyun said, he only regarded him as a tool? Do you even use everyone around you as a tool?

No, that's not the case.

Whether it is Su Cheng or Zhu Zhuyun, they are extremely special existences to themselves.

Maybe I have indeed changed now.

Can be easily cruel to others.

But when she first learned that Su Cheng's bloodline could be taken away, she was obviously extremely resistant.

"You are wrong, sister." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhu Zhuyun and said word by word: "I have never regarded Su Cheng as a tool."

Now that the war between the two countries has eased slightly, Zhu Zhuqing did not stay at the border battlefield for long. He greeted the commander of the Central Army and returned to the Star Luo Imperial Capital with Zhu Zhuyun.

The commander of the army is naturally reluctant to give up.

Such a powerful combat force, as long as it is stationed at the border, can reverse the situation to a certain extent.

But no matter in terms of status or strength, they are obviously not qualified to change Zhu Zhuqing's decision.

The two of them could only be allowed to leave.

After returning to the Duke's Palace, Zhu Zhuqing did not go to meet Zhu Hongtao. Instead, he casually communicated with Zhu Zhuyun in the courtyard about the current situation in the empire and the next plan.

As for Zhu Hongtao, Zhu Zhuqing actually doesn't want to see him now.

Although logically speaking, she should have gone there as soon as possible.

After all, her current strength is largely due to her father's guidance over the years.

But after getting along with her for these years, she is no longer the little girl she was back then.

How could there be no doubts in my heart about all these unreasonable things?

It's just that everything the other party has been doing is really helping her.

It can even be said that the person who should be most grateful to Zhu Zhuqing for being able to reach this point is Zhu Hongtao.

No matter it was teaching her how to behave in the first place.

Or the techniques and potions that follow.

The last step to capture her bloodline almost brought her to the top of the world step by step.

But it was precisely because of the bloodline seizure that the emotions in her heart became more complicated.

Although she knew that Zhu Hongtao could not be blamed at all, the choice was in her own hands.

But that’s the way the human heart is.

No matter how objective you are, it is always difficult to ignore those special reasons after regret.

Under extreme emotions, it is very normal to be angry with others.

It is precisely because Zhu Zhuqing can clearly realize this that she does not want to pass at this time to prevent herself from being unable to control her emotions.

Zhu Zhuqing had some doubts about this father, but more than anything, he was undoubtedly grateful.

After all, in the normal perception of this world, there is no such heaven-defying skill as being able to perfectly disguise one's appearance, figure, and even martial spirit aura into another person.

A hundred thousand year old soul bone technique might be enough to do it.

But if there was such a thing, Zhu Hongtao wouldn't have been unable to break through to the realm of Titled Douluo for many years.

In fact, Zhu Zhuqing has always speculated that there may be other forces behind Zhu Hongtao.

But what is the truth hidden in it? Now is not the time to explore it.

After all, the empire is currently facing internal and external troubles, and the future fate of the Zhu family is equally confusing. It is pointless to worry about irrelevant things.

Not long after, the two of them walked outside Zhu Zhuqing's room without knowing it.

"Come in and sit for a while?" Zhu Zhuqing said casually.

"Okay." Zhu Zhuyun smiled slightly, "It seems that I haven't been to your room since you were six years old."

Speaking of this, she felt a little emotional.

Zhu Zhuqing's room had not changed much from when Su Cheng came, it was as clean and neat as before.

Although she now holds great power, she is not a person who is greedy for pleasure, and she has never thought of changing her residence.

The two walked from the front hall to the main hall. Zhu Zhuqing walked to the table and poured two cups of tea.

Zhu Zhuyun took advantage of this gap to look around.

With a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw the layout of Zhu Zhuqing's bedroom.

He couldn't help but said in surprise: "Hey, you also have this doll?"

"What?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this and walked closer.

"That's the one." Zhu Zhuyun pointed at the doll bear placed on the table, "It was a doll given by my father when I was a child. I had not yet awakened my martial spirit. Alas, that seemed to be the last time he met me alone. Ha, Royal Bloodline..."

After she sighed, a smile appeared on her face again, "But fortunately, Zhuqing, you can change everything soon."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't listen to what she said next. He walked to the room and took out the bear doll.

"You just said... that was the last time father saw you alone?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Zhu Zhuyun felt something was wrong with her expression and asked cautiously.

Zhu Zhuqing shook his head, but did not explain anything.

The two didn't stay in the room for long.

After drinking two cups of tea, Zhu Zhuyun was ready to get up and leave.

Mainly because she felt that her little sister's mood seemed a little wrong at the moment, which made her feel inexplicably depressed.

Zhu Zhuqing did not say anything to persuade him to stay.

At this time, she was only calm on the surface, but in fact, her heart was already turbulent, and countless memories were rolling around.

After sending Zhu Zhuyun out of the room, Zhu Zhuqing silently stared at the doll in his hand for a moment.

Then gently shake it out.

"boom--"

Zhu Zhuyun, who had just walked not far away, heard the noise and turned around in surprise.

The old stuffed bear exploded in mid-air and turned into countless powders that scattered in the wind.

Still owe 5 chapters.
