Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 51 Destiny!

The Kingdom of Clouds, the Tower of the Clouds.

With a loud thud, Xiang Liang slammed his hand heavily on the table.

The fine dragon cedar wood was shattered into pieces, with fragments flying everywhere, and the tea on the table was scattered all over the floor.

Xiang Liang was tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and a thick back. He had a square face, slightly high cheekbones, thick, dark eyebrows, and a pair of tiger-like eyes that shone brightly with every blink, exuding an awe-inspiring aura of authority.

The short mustache above the lip and under the jaw was neatly trimmed, adding to his composure and fortitude.

Xiang Liang was furious. Because he was in the Kingdom of Cloud Peak, the news was delayed, so he only just learned that his nephew Xiang Ji had betrayed the country and defected to the enemy.

Are you kidding me?

Xiang Ji was always with Xiang Liang; while they wouldn't say they were inseparable, they were practically together.

Xiang Ji was born with extraordinary talent, possessing the physique of a Heavenly King. At the age of five, he awakened the power of a giant god. These two top-tier talents were already unparalleled in the world. However, not long ago, he also awakened double pupils. This is why Xiang Liang personally came to the Cloud Peak Kingdom when Xiang Ji came.

Even though the country was facing difficulties, Xiang Liang, as the pillar of the Xiang clan and with countless matters to attend to, still made time to accompany Xiang Ji here.

Because Xiang Ji absolutely cannot be harmed; this is the future of the Xiang family.

After all, Xiang Ji is only nine years old now, not even ten yet. He has not yet entered his golden growth period, and may even awaken his talent again in the future. He came to the Cloud Peak Kingdom this time because of news of the blood of the gods.

If this is used as a foundation, the future prospects are limitless.

As long as the Great Chu can persevere and wait for Xiang Ji to grow up, it is not impossible for the situation to be reversed.

But the news that suddenly came was like a bolt from the blue, which directly enraged Xiang Liang. The proper inheritance of the Nine Heavens Thunder Technique is extremely demanding. Even among the Xiang family of Xiaxiang, not everyone can learn it. How could it be learned by an outsider?

Therefore, everything that happened in Lang County was just fake news. It was a fabricated story created by the Black Ice Guard after they saw them enter the Cloud Peak Kingdom from Lang County. But Chu believed it and even went to the front-line camp himself.

Xiang Liang sighed, looked at the young boy before him, and declared directly, "From this day forward, there will be no more Xiang Ji, only Xiang Yu!"

"The nation is in dire straits; we must endure for the sake of the country."

"The overall situation is the priority."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Lang County.

As soon as it was light, Dou Changsheng immediately summoned his trusted lieutenants.

Uncle Dou's sleeves fluttered, and his long sword danced around him like a dragon. The breeze he stirred made his clothes flutter, making him look ethereal and otherworldly, like a deity.

This outfit elevates one's style dramatically.

Suddenly, Uncle Dou stopped in his tracks and his eyes narrowed.

Soldiers clad in armor stood in neat rows.

The armor was heavy, its main body forged from some unknown silver-white meteorite iron. It was shaped like a roaring ape, with the shoulder armor towering like peaks and the breastplate embossed with a ferocious ape head.

The greatsword was heavy and angular, gleaming with a cold metallic light, as if it could withstand the force of collapsing mountains. One glance revealed that it contained a terrifying power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.

Especially the one standing at the entrance, whose aura was as powerful as a mountain, with a ferocious ape head sculpture on his breastplate inlaid with red gemstones, looked like a wrathful Vajra, exuding a powerful oppressive force.

The helmet is equipped with a mask, completely encasing the wearer in steel, obscuring their face and naturally exuding a chilling aura that causes every visitor to subconsciously concentrate.

This is a sixth-rank martial arts expert, whose strength is no weaker than his own, or even stronger. In particular, with Dou Jiushu's knowledge, he naturally knows that these people have seen blood and are not just empty shells.

Uncle Dou felt a heavy weight in his heart, realizing that the situation was spiraling out of control. This was because Uncle Dou recognized the origins of the battle-hardened elites before him. Ever since he learned that Dou Changsheng had obtained the Sword of King Goujian of Yue, Uncle Dou had begun to cram on information about the Great Yue Kingdom.

Of course, I know about the five famous heavenly soldiers of Da Yue, and that legendary Yue woman.

The other party trained three great heavenly soldiers for Da Yue, who helped Da Yue conquer Wu, march north to contend for hegemony, and become the leader of the feudal lords.

The Heavenly Soldiers undergo rigorous training, resulting in the elimination of many who fail to meet the requirements. The White Ape Sword Attendants are composed of these eliminated individuals.

Although they were losers, you should know that they were promising talents.

The White Ape Sword Servant made great contributions to the Great Yue Kingdom. Even when the Great Chu Kingdom destroyed Yue, it did not obtain the training method of the White Ape Sword Servant. Since the destruction of the Great Yue Kingdom, it has been lost and disappeared into the long river of history.

The fact that it has now appeared shocked Uncle Dou.

A single Daoist soldier is not scary; what is scary is that Da Viet had just been restored when suddenly a Daoist soldier from the former Da Viet arrived.

At this moment, Dou Changsheng became mysterious.

Not only Uncle Dou, but everyone else was also shocked.

Even those who didn't know the origins of the White Ape Sword Servant would be given a lesson by those around them. After they sat down, their gazes toward Dou Changsheng were different; they now held awe.

Originally, this was just a makeshift platform, and not many people had high hopes for Dou Changsheng. If it weren't for the support from the Great Qin, they would have gone their separate ways long ago. What is Da Yue? Can you even eat it?

But now, they suddenly felt awe towards Da Yue.

It is quite obvious that the old inhabitants of Dai Viet still exist today, and their strength is not weak.

The fact that they were able to support a Taoist army so quickly proves that they have greater power, and what is even more terrifying is that they have joined forces with Dou Changsheng.

They really know how to stir things up.

Officer Wang was numb; he had watched Dou Changsheng grow up step by step.

It's not surprising that they gained the support of Dou Jiushu, a powerful figure from Qin, because Qin wanted to create chaos in Chu. Later, they brought out the direct descendants of the Xiang family, turning Xiang Jielong from an enemy into a friend. They thought that with the support of two major forces, they were already very powerful.

Now, the old people of Dayue have emerged, and Dou Changsheng's background is becoming more and more complicated. In such a short time, how did he go from an ordinary person to influencing both Qin and Chu?

Officer Wang no longer dared to look at Dou Changsheng, because at this moment, the word "fate" involuntarily arose in his mind.

The events that had happened in the past seemed absurd and laughable, gradually pushing Dou Changsheng into a desperate situation. However, Dou Changsheng managed to escape danger each time, and his strength grew stronger with each battle.

Who could have imagined that a mere ninth-rank martial artist would now have so many sixth-rank martial artists submitting to him?

Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.

The greatest role of the White Ape Sword Servant was not to fight on the battlefield, but to tell the world that Dou Changsheng also had the support of the old people of Dayue.

The Great Yue Dynasty, with its 38,000-year history, has an untold rich cultural heritage.

The signboard was very intimidating, and everyone was frightened. Even the sudden appearance of the Taoist soldiers led them to imagine the horrors of the old people of Da Yue.

Elder Zhang and Master Zhao exchanged a glance. Could it be that Dou Changsheng really succeeded?

The idea had barely formed when the belatedly arriving County Magistrate Li excitedly announced, "Prefect Sun, Commandant Sun, has arrived."

At this critical juncture, a high-ranking military officer, one of the enemy leaders, secretly came to Lang County. His purpose was self-evident: he had come to surrender.

Is there really such a thing as destiny?
