C575 The Aggrieved Barbarians(2)
Xu Ruxian's words echoed in the sky before he left. "Zhou Fengmiao, if they don't hand over the city to you within a day... Take all the soldiers with you and slaughter your way in. After annihilating all the Barbarian Clan... Go and personally take down the ten cities."
Xu Ruxian's tone carried an indisputable dignity. Zhou Fengmiao could only nod his head. He looked at the current situation of Barbarian Army and found that they had lost nearly a quarter of their army in such a short period of time.
This was equivalent to half a year of Barbarian Clan's war losses.
In Profound Gate Pass, Xu Ruxian and Elder Yuh landed on the city wall of Profound Gate Pass. As soon as Xu Ruxian landed on the ground, his legs went soft, and he knelt down on one knee. He held onto the city wall with one hand and pressed his other hand on his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
Elder Yuh looked at this shocking scene and couldn't help but shake his head, "I didn't expect prime minister Xu to have broken through to the Seventh Stage in all these years, but you still dare to mess around like this. This is really hurting the heavens! "
Xu Ruxian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, leaving a bright red mark on his white sleeve. His smile looked a little miserable as he said, "This battlefield has somewhat exceeded my imagination. I thought that I could kill all those Barbarian Soldier with my own strength. However, it seems that even if you don't stop me... I won't be able to hold on much longer, and I can't kill too many of them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome for the Barbarian Clan in the future."
All living beings in the world, whether they were cultivators or not, had their own vital force. And every time a person is killed, the vital energy of this person will be attached to the person's body. The aura had different names in the various sects, and cultivators called it aura. Buddhism called it evil, but no matter which way it was called... The effects of these auras were the same. After being entangled by these auras... The chances of survival in one's body would be greatly consumed by the auras, causing the auras to become chaotic. Xu Ruxian had just killed nearly seventy thousand men with a wave of his hand. This was a huge consumption even though he had already broken through to the Seventh Stage. He couldn't bear it.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Xu Ruxian's facial expression gradually became more relaxed. But in comparison, the aura on his body also became much weaker. Currently, Xu Ruxian's strength was only comparable to a puny Third Stage warrior. Due to the lack of the support of the Spiritual Force, his hair had also started to turn white. If those who didn't know Xu Ruxian saw him here, they would most likely treat him as a weak old man.
Elder Yuh sighed and turned the Spiritual Force around to hold Xu Ruxian. The two of them flew into the sky together. "Let me bring you back to the Lan family in Jing City first. I hope that old ghost of the Lan family will have a way to cure you. Otherwise, even if you can recover from your cultivation in this lifetime, you will most likely stop here."
After saying that, the two of them turned into a ray of light and flew towards the sky.
On the other side, the Barbarian Army was playing a bitter scene.
Because Xu Ruxian had severely wounded the entire army of the Barbarian Clan, Zhou Fengmiao and his soldiers did not consume much of their energy. Relying on the good condition on his side, Zhou Fengmiao ordered all the soldiers to set up camp three miles away from Barbarian Clan. He gave the Barbarian Army pressure.
After losing the battle, Shan Tan returned to the army and tried to kill himself with his sword, but he was stopped by the people around him.
"It's all my fault. In order to deal with a little brat, I had to trouble the great reverends and the seventy thousand brothers."
After the sword in his hand was taken away by the people beside him, Shan Tan sat on his seat. He said in a daze, "The foundation that the former emperor worked so hard to build was buried in my hands just like that. Why are you stopping me? Just let me die to atone for my crimes "
As he spoke, he circulated his power and was about to slap himself in the chest.
At this moment, a general beside Shan Tan was in a panic. He kicked Shan Tan's chest. Caught off guard, Shan Tan was sent flying and landed on the ground.
"Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness. The situation at the border is urgent. We can't be without you. If you want to punish me, we'll talk after we return to the capital."
As he spoke, he said in a low voice, "I apologize for offending you." After that, he turned around and said to the person beside him, "Men, tie up the Marshal and send people to guard him day and night."
"This..."
The people around were stunned. Faced with such a huge disrespect, they hesitated.
"There's no need for that."
Prince Shan Tan waved his hand, stopping everyone's movements. He said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't try to make a mistake. The matter of losing ten cities had already happened. When they returned to the capital, I will personally request His Majesty to deprive me of my rights and send me to the border army. Start from scratch. "
The surrounding people looked at this old man who had been in the military for his entire life, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
Since he had lost, he had to be able to afford to lose.
After Xu Ruxian left, in the evening of the same day, a contract was sent to Zhou Fengmiao's military camp. The agreement was divided into two parts, each with its own name written on it. When Zhou Fengmiao wrote his name on it, Teng Shan would send one of the letters back to the capital. He would have the emperor of Barbarian Clan write his name on it and cover it with the Imperial Jade Seal. From now on, the ten cities written on the agreement were the territories of the Great Wei.
The other one would be left behind by Zhou Fengmiao as evidence to prevent the emperor of Barbarian Clan from turning against him. This was also the more common method of handing over the cities to the defeated party.
It had to be said that Elder Yuh and Xu Ruxian were very powerful in the Lan family. It only took Xu Ruxian six hours to get to Profound Gate Pass from the capital. Elder Yuh only used eight hours to get back to the capital from Profound Gate Pass.
When the old ancestor of the Lan family saw Xu Ruxian's appearance, he was shocked. He thought that some powerful Evil Cultivator had appeared in the capital. However, after listening to Elder Yuh's explanation, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Xu Ruxian's injuries were very serious, but they weren't incurable.
"Prime minister Xu, this is the pill that grandfather personally refined for you. It can help you adjust your disordered breathing. In addition, the method to regulate your current physical condition is written in this booklet. You must carefully follow the instructions written on it."1
A woman with blue eyes and a big red dress came to Xu Ruxian's room with a plate in her hand. She carefully said to Xu Ruxian.
"This is the golden flower of Lan family. Lan Fenghuang, right?"
After Xu Ruxian expressed his gratitude, he looked at the little girl in the big red dress and teased her.
"Prime minister Xu's Fiery Golden Eyes, this little girl admires you."
Lan Fenghuang said to Xu Ruxian with a faint smile. Her smile had a unique charm that gave people a very intimate and comfortable feeling.
