Chapter 402: The Realm of Martial Arts Legend? (Seeking monthly votes)
Ye Zhongdao and Zhou Xianping both held weapons and guarded Chen Dingye. Therefore, they both saw the head in the box. It was calm and majestic, with white hair and beard and scars on its face, but it had a fierce and domineering aura.

There is no contemporary hero who doesn't recognize this man.

Ye Zhongdao held the weapon in his hand and whispered, "...Shenwu King."

He lived for a whole sixty years, during which he was the most absurd prince of the Great Chen Kingdom for thirty years. Then he took up his sword and became famous in more than ten years, reaching the pinnacle of power. After more than ten years of sinking into the mountains and wilderness, he rose again, taking up his sword, to conquer the vast world.

Even they had indescribable complex emotions towards the domineering king of Chen State. This was once their sharpest king and biggest enemy, but now he was just a head.

This means that King Shenwu has failed.

They all knew Chen Dingye's strategy, and at this moment they all looked stern. They turned around to look at their majesty. Chen Dingye was holding the box, with a dazed look on his face. After struggling for several days, all he got was the death of King Shenwu.

It was as if the entire strategy had collapsed. The atmosphere in the camp suddenly became tense. They looked at Chen Dingye, including the envoy, who was also secretly paying attention to Chen Dingye's changes.

This is a strategy to attack the heart.

It was to tell Chen Dingye that his strategy had completely failed, and at this moment, the Daying Kingdom did not intend to continue fighting with him, and both sides should stop while they were ahead and recuperate for a while.

Chen Dingye suddenly burst into laughter.

His laughter was as graceful and hearty as ever.

He stood up, bent over and placed the box on the table, and said with a smile:
"Prince Puyang, my brother."

"Long time no see."

"How are you?"

"Why, so tired?"

Ye Zhongdao and Zhou Xianping all felt a sense of sadness, and the envoy felt a chill in his heart for some reason. Chen Dingye left the wolf king's head, looked at the envoy, and said, "You must be a brave and resourceful person from the younger generation of Ying State."

"Coming here this time and making this plan must be very dangerous. You want to use this method to get yourself to the front more quickly and have the qualifications to step into the troubled times."

The envoy said calmly, "When two armies are at war, envoys should not be killed."

"Your Majesty is wise and calm, and will not harm the dignity of the great country by killing a minister."

Chen Dingye laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, good, good!"

"What a good person who will not kill you and harm the dignity of a great country. You are a person with courage, determination, and strategy. If my brother were here, he would definitely admire you and have a good drink with you!"

"It's a pity that you met a lonely and widowed person."

The envoy's expression suddenly became tense. He saw Chen Dingye raised his head, with a deep and calm look in his eyes, but with an indescribable fierce murderous intent. The moment he saw the wolf king die, Chen Dingye's mentality changed again.

He stretched out his hand, closed the box, and said softly, "Kill him."

The envoy's expression changed drastically: "Your Majesty——"

The sound of the sword being drawn from its sheath was solemn and murderous, and the envoy fell in a pool of blood. No one wanted to touch Chen Dingye's edge and anger at this time, and everyone felt their hearts tremble.

Chen Dingye stretched out his hand, carefully holding the box, and said softly: "When we were young, no, when I was young... Brother, you took me out to play like this."

"You have grown up, riding horses and stepping on flowers, how happy you are, but I just follow you closely. When you go to drink and listen to music, and throw money around, I just clap my hands and cheer with ordinary singing girls, saying that you are really heroic and unrestrained."

"At that time, I envied you so much."

"When I climbed a tree and fell, you held me like I am holding you now, and walked proudly across the street...Haha, all the things of the past are right before my eyes..."

Chen Dingye finally placed the box in his tent, reached out his hand, stroked the box, and said softly: "... You have been fighting for a lifetime, and you are more than ten years older than me. You have not had much peace in your life."

"I'll take you home."

He raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of the sword. His eyes, which had finally been sharpened, lowered and he said softly:
"If I were still alive..."

Ye Zhongdao and Zhou Xianping just followed Chen Dingye forward, but only followed Chen Dingye outside the big tent, and then they stopped moving forward and just looked ahead quietly. After a long time, the big tent was opened, and Chen Dingye walked out with a normal expression.

He was wearing the royal armor of the Chen State style. Compared with the Western Regions and the grasslands, needless to say, and compared with the simple and heavy style of the Ying State, the armor of the Chen State was more exquisite. Although it was more expensive, it also had a sense of majesty while taking into account defense.

Chen Dingye had his hair tied up with a golden crown, and was wearing a dark armor. His sleeves of a battle robe fell down. He held his sword and walked forward to a high place. The night was heavy, and Zhou Xianping followed behind him, lonely and speechless. Chen Dingye stood on a high place, looking at the northern world:
"It really is lonely up there..."

"When I received the throne from my brother, I never thought that it would be such a tiring position. At that time, I only thought that it might be a prestigious enough position."

"But being prominent means that you have to pay a corresponding price."

Chen Dingye stretched out his hand, his palm shrouded in the wind, and whispered: "Among blood relatives, many are abandoned and many die. Now among my fellow brothers and sisters, the eldest princess has a grudge against me, just like a stranger; now my brother is gone."

"Tianyi is the descendant of the Xue family and we have always been estranged from each other. Wenmian sees me as an enemy. Standing here and looking around, I just feel lonely and desolate in all directions."

"It's true that a lonely person is like this."

Ye Zhongdao and Zhou Xianping looked at each other and whispered, "Your Majesty, our soldiers are exhausted, Yuwen Lie is brave, and the country has been through more than a year of war and is exhausted. Since Ying State intends to retreat, should we withdraw our troops?"

Ye Zhongdao, after Zhou Xianping finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Chen Dingye's answer.

Chen Dingye held the sword and said, "You are right. Since the situation is so chaotic, then retreating early seems to be in line with the art of war and the overall strategic choice..."

"Yingguo's actions have dealt a blow to our morale."

"Secondly, it also tells me that the situation is hopeless."

The night was heavy and Zhou Xianping was speechless.

The strategy of the State of Chen was to divide into two sides. Now the Wolf King of the Western Region had not been able to win and take over the entire Western Region, but had lost his life. In fact, it could be declared that the game was over, but at the moment they were here, the transmission of information was not fast enough.

But I don’t know the details of the current world situation.

At this time, it would be appropriate to withdraw troops, build defenses, and recuperate with the strength of a great power. Although it need not be said that this would demonstrate hegemony, it would at least stabilize the national situation and allow the foundation of Dachen to continue.

Chen Dingye said:

"But since I am alone and my ruler is unjust and incompetent, let me do what I should do. Yingguo has used this method to provoke me and is trying to tell me that my brother's failure is only because they have also declined."

"If they have the power, why don't they lead a large army to attack me?"

"Don't you like it?"

On the night of Zhongdao, Zhou Xianping saw that Chen Dingye's long hair, which was originally half black and half white, gradually transformed into pure snow color. His white hair was flying, and the poisonous dragon bared its fangs, drew out its sword and pointed it forward:

"If I cannot achieve anything, I will destroy the great Chen ancestral foundation!"

"Why should we leave this matter to future generations?"

"retreat??"

Chen Dingye's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility, and all the past events flashed through his mind. He said:

"continue--"

"March forward—a hundred miles!"

Emperor Chen Dingye, when he suffered the greatest blow and realized that his original strategy had completely collapsed, did not go completely crazy under such tremendous pressure, nor did he fall into indulgence like the ruler of the Dangxiang State.

He drew out the sword in his hand and pointed it forward.

The Qiongqi's vicious and life-depleting martial arts was fully unleashed.

Lifespan began to be drastically weakened and burned.

Ying State's strategy was successful, but also failed.

The success lies in that Chen Dingye's state of mind was indeed touched, just like the Wolf King's offensive forced Jiang Wanxiang's energy and lifespan, Chen Fubi, or the strategic defeat represented by Chen Fubi, caused Chen Dingye's state of mind to fluctuate and his lifespan to be damaged.

But the failure is that -

They miscalculated Chen Dingye. They did not expect that he did not collapse under this tremendous pressure. Instead, he struggled to stand up, gripped the sword in his hand even tighter, and let out a roar in this desperate situation.

This king is a complex character in the historical materials discovered by later generations.

His first half of life and his later life were like two different people.

Often, when the court becomes increasingly powerful and its resources surge, he will indulge in extravagance and enjoyment. However, when the people around him whom he can rely on die one by one and he is in a truly desperate situation, he will be able to hold up the situation.

The more dangerous the situation, the more remarkable his character and resilience become.

On that day, Yuwen Lie faced the coalition forces of Chen Dingye and the Turkic Khan.

In battle, be calm and measured, and don't fall behind.

Yuwen Lie held out for several days, but because the lords of major cities in the rear led their troops to defend the king and fight against the Wolf King, the rear became unstable, the logistics were greatly disrupted and weakened, and the army gradually could not hold out.

The second divine general, the Iron Pagoda cavalry of the Turkic Khan, galloped against the State of Chen at night.

Yuwen Lie received military orders and had to retreat a hundred miles on both fronts.

In this war, the power of Ying State, which occupied most of the territory of Central Plains and the north, in the Western Regions was greatly affected. Among them, Chen State and the Turkic steppes, one above and one below, attacked the border troops at the same time, and Ying State had to be defeated and retreat.

The State of Chen lost its layout in the Western Regions and lost the brave secret agent, the King Shenwu.

The eyes of Grand Master Ying were chopped off by the martial arts legend himself.

Lost two hundred miles of border.

In this battle, both of these two great powers in the Central Plains suffered serious injuries, or even severe damage to their vitality; and on the vast battlefield in the Western Regions, the competition between these two countries was the activeness of the Wolf King and Xiyi City.

In the end, it led to the disappearance of the Dangxiang Kingdom in the Western Regions.

After this battle, Chen Dingye personally rode a war horse to the front line.

He picked up his spear, and finally, at the new border of the country, in front of thousands of troops, he raised the flagpole in his hand, and the ancient battle flag fluttered. Chen Dingye, wearing a helmet, looked at the patterns on his battle flag.

"It's not suitable to be inserted here..."

Finally he lowered his head and asked Ye Zhongdao to bring a new flag.

He changed the flag himself, stroking the bloody battle flag with the wolf pattern. Somehow, he recalled his childhood when he was held under his brother's arm, and the young King Shenwu took him on a horse, stepping on the falling flowers. He looked at the envious eyes of the people around him.

Chen Dingye, whose hair had turned completely white, said softly:

"actually……"

"I have always envied you, brother."

He raised the battle flag with the blood-red wolf pattern high up, and with some complicated emotions, he shouted:

"Da Chen, 10,000 victory!"

"The Divine King!"

The Gray Wolf battle flag fluttered freely in the country of Ying.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

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

In the Western Regions, the news of Li Guanyi's awakening quickly spread everywhere. All the major advisers of the Anxi Protectorate came. When they entered, they saw that Li Guanyi was still energetic. The silver-haired girl was sleeping beside him, with her black hair spread out. The young general in a white inner garment gently stroked the silver-haired girl's ear with his left hand, and raised his right hand to his lips, pretending to keep quiet.

Maybe it was because of his hair, or because of his injuries.

The usually brave and mighty general now had a rare gentle temperament.

Many counselors and generals understood and calmed down.

The moment they saw Li Guanyi, their hearts calmed down.

Li Guanyi himself is the backbone of the entire Western Region. He has been in a coma for a period of time. Although Pojun, Fan Qing and others are still calm on the surface, they have actually undergone some changes.

These details are particularly evident in Saatanti's eyes.

The frequency with which Mr. Wen He went to trouble Mr. Yan Daiqing dropped from three times a day to once every three days!
The number of times Mr. Yan Daiqing beat Mr. Wen He dropped to a staggering zero!
Even if Mr. Wen He tried to tease and stimulate him, Mr. Yan Daiqing just glanced at him lazily, and then closed his eyes lazily like a crane, and was too lazy to move at all.

This is not normal, very abnormal.

In addition, Mr. Yuanzhi began to swing around Mr. Wenhe with a hemp rope.

It seems that he is preparing for Mr. Wen He to escape.

When Li Guanyi woke up, Mr. Wen He was beaten by Mr. Yan Daiqing on his way here. Of course, this time the beating was accompanied by ecstasy.

Both of them rushed into the house refreshed.

"Ahahaha, my lord, you are finally awake!"

"If you don't wake up, Wen He will run away!"

"My lord, are you okay?!"

"Lord!"

Li Guanyi sat on the bed and looked at the many people rushing in. The silver-haired girl blinked and woke up. Yuan Zhi smiled. Pojun jumped directly to Li Guanyi's side. Wen He was lazy. Yan Daiqing was calm, but his hands were trembling in his sleeves.

Ling Pingyang and Fan Qing were quiet outside, but Fan Qing, the calm warrior, couldn't help but squat down at this time. He stood up, rubbed his face hard with his heavy, calloused hands, and his eyes were red.

The footsteps outside sounded heavy, like those of a mule or a horse.

Yue Qianfeng, with medicine wrapped around his body, came over laughing wildly: "Ahahahaha, I knew you were okay! You've been sleeping for seven days, your muscles and bones must be numb, come on, come on, have a drink with your brother Yue!"

Mr. Pojun squeezed out two tears with great effort, then turned around and waved his finger:
"Come here, take General Yue Qianfeng and his wine."

"Fork out!"

No one dared to touch the powerful general Yue Qianfeng.

But fortunately, there are still two veteran generals from the Taiping Duke era here.

Then Yue Qianfeng was pulled out by Wang Shunchen and Yan Xuanji, one on the left and one on the right.

It was just that Po Jun couldn't help laughing as soon as he said that, "Alright, alright, General Yue Qianfeng, put down the wine and come in. The lord has just recovered and really can't drink. If you want to drink, we will accompany you."

"Hahahaha, that's right, I'll wait to accompany you!"

"I will make sure to make you, General Yue Qianfeng, fall to the ground completely drunk!"

Everybody laughed out loud. The atmosphere in Anxi City was peaceful and cheerful, completely different from the solemnity of Chen and Ying. It was filled with a comfortable feeling. While everyone was visiting Li Guanyi, he was driven out by Pojun.

Po Jun said: "My lord, the situation in the world is uncertain at the moment, and the intelligence system is disturbed. The outside world does not know about your affairs. It is difficult for us to figure out which of the rumors is false in this chaotic situation."

"But once the dust settles, it shouldn't be too late."

"My lord, please rest assured and we will sort out the information..."

After a pause, Po Jun said, "It's just that, my lord, after Wolf King Chen Fubi entered the territory of Ying State, the last news was that he was unable to come out, although there are many rumors in the world at the moment."

“But battle lines don’t lie.”

"I'm afraid the Wolf King is in great danger."

Li Guan paused and said, "I know."

He said softly, "This battlefield was chosen by my uncle, the Wolf King himself. When he was the regent, he showed his desire and cruelty. Perhaps, as he said, the best fate for a person like him is to die on the battlefield and be wrapped in his horse's hide."

"On the battlefield, there is no distinction between good and evil."

"I just hope that even if he dies, he will die honorably and not be humiliated."

Po Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Li Guanyi was a sentimental person, and he was worried that this would cause some grudges in Li Guanyi's heart. Seeing that he could let go of it, he was relieved and said with a smile:
"Heroes like the Wolf King should be respected by both enemies and friends. Even in death, he should be treated like a hero and a prince. My lord, don't worry about this."

Po Jun bowed again before leaving. Finally, his eyes fell on the quiet silver-haired girl next to him - this guy, when he just came in, he saw this silver-haired girl sleeping there.

Pojun was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

I can't even raise the corners of my mouth.

However, he also took into account the silver-haired girl's companionship during the seven days and nights, and her help in healing Li Guanyi's spiritual injury. In the end, he just said, "My lord, Miss Yaoguang has worked hard in the past seven days."

He looked at the silver-haired girl with a tired face, and suddenly smiled arrogantly in his heart.

This time, even if you win!

White hair!

Next time, next time I will definitely let you know that the Pojun lineage is superior to your Yaoguang lineage.

In addition to the fact that you have been with your lord for a long time, you can use astrology to survey directions, and you have traveled with your lord in the world for several years, sharing life and death with him. You are also beautiful and are of similar age to your lord.

What other advantages!
You, what can you use to defeat me!
snort!
Po Jun raised his chin, then turned and left. He felt that the silver-haired girl over there must have understood what he meant and knew that the fateful struggle that had lasted from generation to generation among the three secluded sects was full of an epic and bleak feeling.

Li Guanyi said: "Strange, why did Mr. Pojun keep blinking today?"

The silver-haired girl thought about it and said seriously:
"Maybe it's because of an eye disease?"

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "Is that so? Next time, I can get some medicine from Shi Dalin and give it to Mr. Pojun."

He wanted to get up and go for a walk, but his brows slightly frowned in an instant. Just this one action made Li Guanyi feel a continuous pain emerging from the bottom of his heart.

Carrying the responsibility of carrying an army of hundreds of thousands of men put a tremendous strain on Li Guanyi's body. And under such pressure, he had fought head-on with the god of war Jiang Su for so long that his internal injuries were extremely severe.

Although he saved his life, the hidden injuries were severe and penetrated deep into his bones.

Li Guan shook hands and could feel that his immortal body was still slowly repairing itself, and the Nine Cauldrons had endless vitality. However, the Nine Cauldrons of the Western Regions were used to kill fierce monsters; while the Nine Cauldrons of the South Region had the peaceful and harmonious energy of spring breeze and life.

With the blessing of the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan, the injury should heal faster.

Li Guanyi thought about it, and the silver-haired girl asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Nothing."

The silver-haired girl was beside him, supporting him. She naturally and spontaneously took Li Guanyi's arm and supported him with her shoulders. In his prime, the invincible warrior who could wear heavy armor, gallop around and fight, was now seriously injured and weak.

Li Guanyi was thinking about what Pojun had just said to him.

Wolf King...

Li Guanyi had an indescribable feeling towards this heroic, cunning, cruel and tyrannical hero.

Judging from the general situation now, the Wolf King should have met his end on the battlefield of his own choice. For a man like him, there might not be a happier ending than this.

Yaoguang supported Li Guanyi and walked out. Perhaps it was because he had not been outside for too long and had not seen the sun, Li Guanyi felt that his body was a little rusty. While breathing in and out, he tried to practice his skills.

One's own body rotates naturally.

In the past, when his body changed, his breath would flow smoothly, but now, every part of his body felt like it was being stabbed by needles or cut by knives and it was very painful. Every time Li Guanyi felt some pain, the silver-haired girl would just quietly reach out her hand and hold Li Guanyi's hand.

Don’t say anything, don’t point out anything, just accompany quietly.

Talk and talk.

Only [I am] here.

【I'm always here】

These two things.

Li Guanyi was calm in his heart, and asked with a smile: "I have been unconscious for so long, I don't know what the city is like now. It's a rare time when I am not wearing armor, so accompany me to take a look, Yaoguang."

The silver-haired girl nodded and walked with him. As Li Guanyi walked, he circulated his breath and sensed the condition of his body. Even he himself could not help but admire him when he saw this.

What a satisfying holey body.

When vital energy comes in, nine times out of ten it goes out.

How come Jiang Su is so strong in both physique and skills?

I have to learn this later.

Li Guanyi reviewed the battle with Jiang Su in his mind. Every time he thought about it and recalled it, he gained a lot. He also adjusted his body. However, when his breath circulated for several weeks and returned to his dantian, the breath given by the wolf king was still there.

No, it's different from the past!

Li Guanyi paused and his eyes widened.

When the internal energy returned to Dantian, he felt an indescribable illusion, that is, his spirit was elevated again, a state as if he was above the wind and overlooking the surroundings, the calmness of the complete unity of soul and body.

He had felt this magnificent moment before.

That's exactly it.

The realm of martial arts legends.

Li Guanyi suddenly had an idea. He turned his head abruptly and saw the old Sima Ming behind two large dry banana leaves behind a shop three hundred feet away, and the two ghost dogs that were secretly following the silver-haired whale fisherman.

In an instant, their eyes met.

When confirming that the other party has discovered you.

The whale fisherman and Li Guanyi were both stunned.

Can he detect me?!

Just him?

How can this be!

Really discovered it?

The leader of the formation confirmed this in his mind, and his expression gradually solidified:
"Um???!"

“Breakthrough?!!”
