The two smiled at each other, and then the four generals of the Mo family went into the water to rescue people. Deng Chanyu rode her horse and barely made it to the other side of the river by using the broken bridge.
Subsequently, Ji Fa led his cavalry to the next trap, and Deng Chanyu and the four Mo generals pursued them closely after landing.
After watching the four generals of the Mo family rescue some of the cavalry and horses that had fallen into the water, Tang Yu asked Yuan Shen in bewilderment.
"Since the Four Demon Generals can cross the river directly and bring their cavalry and horses with them, why is it necessary to build a bridge?"
Yuan Shen was also speechless. He also wanted to ask Deng Chanyu how they fought in Beihai.
"Perhaps the reason for building the bridge was to transport supplies across for a protracted war?"
Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu asked Yuan Shen, "Do you believe me?"
Yuan Shen refused to answer, saying he couldn't understand it either.
No bridge was needed; this group of people had already crossed to the other side of the river thanks to the Four Demon Generals.
Instead, the bridge construction led them into a trap, resulting in the drowning of a group of cavalrymen and their horses.
At this moment, Ji Fa had already led his cavalry into the next trap—Jue Long Ridge.
This is a canyon terrain located between cliffs, which is very suitable for setting up an ambush.
Previously, when Yuan Shen mentioned that Ji Fa had chosen such terrain as a trap, Tang Yu found it laughable, thinking that it must be incredibly foolish for someone leading troops to charge forward upon seeing a canyon terrain.
However, reality surprised her greatly.
After Deng Chanyu led her cavalry over, she laughed and mocked, "This is quite a good place to set up an ambush!"
Then, knowing full well that there might be an ambush ahead, she rode her horse straight ahead without instructing the people behind her to take any precautions.
Tang Yu witnessed Deng Chanyu's deputy anxiously asking, "Only one of the four Mo family generals has come up. Should we wait, General?"
But Deng Chanyu completely ignored the deputy general and charged straight toward the ambush ahead.
This directly resulted in the cavalry behind her having no choice but to follow her into the trap.
Seeing this, Yuan Shen could hardly bear to look. Tang Yu turned to him and asked, "Is Deng Chanyu really not someone who got in through connections?"
Yuan Shen nodded affirmatively.
"That's right. Her father was once a great general, and she inherited his power. She did indeed rise to power through connections."
"Look at her, she completely ignores the deputy general's advice; she's a typical example of someone who's stubborn and self-righteous."
This was the first time Tang Yu had ever seen such an "eye-watering" way of fighting. Fortunately, Ji Fa and Deng Chanyu were evenly matched, so it was impossible to tell who was more foolish.
This made her feel that it was inappropriate to get involved and help.
After all, Deng Chanyu willingly jumped into both of Ji Fa's straightforward traps.
The most fatal thing was that Deng Chanyu clearly saw that it was a trap, but she still rushed in without hesitation, completely disregarding the lives of her fellow soldiers.
Some people died from falling into the water before, and now more are rushing into the trap, which will likely result in another group of people losing their lives.
Sure enough, after entering the canyon, the front quickly turned into cliffs and precipices. Lei Zhenzi immediately attacked one of the four demon generals who had followed him, and countless boulders fell down.
Then, several more people died in Deng Chanyu's group.
Feeling confident of victory, Ji Fa threatened Deng Chanyu to surrender.
Deng Chanyu, however, ordered Mo Liqing to retaliate with the Qingyun Sword, a magical artifact. The sword transformed into a dragon and attacked Ji Fa and the others, while the soldiers below began to fire arrows.
The soldiers around Ji Fa kept falling off the cliff and dying, and Lei Zhenzi gradually couldn't hold them off.
Just as Tang Yu was about to offer his help, another member of the Demon Clan arrived.
Two giants blocked the crevice in the canyon, preventing the group from moving forward. In the end, only Deng Chanyu managed to catch up, while the rest of the cavalry were left behind.
Thus, only Deng Chanyu caught up with Ji Fa, and the two chased and fought on horseback on a path beside the cliff, the battle was fierce.
The two horses rode side by side, and soon entered a close-quarters combat phase. A slight misstep could send them both tumbling off the cliff.
"Should I help? What if they fall and die?"
Tang Yu had just asked Yuan Shen that question.
Before Yuan Shen could answer, the two fell off the cliff together in the midst of their fierce fight.
"How about we leave it to fate? If Ji Fa were King Wu of Zhou, he probably wouldn't have died."
When Yuan Shen said this, Tang Yu burst out laughing.
"Good idea, you've taken a fancy to Ji Fa's brother and want him to destroy the Shang dynasty, haven't you?"
Yuan Shen smiled without saying a word. Although Zhou Gongdan was young, he did indeed seem to have more strategic thinking.
Deng Chanyu's appearance and martial arts moves are cool and powerful, but the director and screenwriter are brainless. If you think about it carefully, this character is even worse than a brute!
In the end, she felt that massacring civilians was wrong and wanted to turn against them, but at the beginning when they were crossing the river, the deputy general said that these farmers from Xiqi had no idea that they would be killed later. Deng Chanyu did not refute this and tacitly agreed to kill the civilians!
In the end, Ji Fa, this saintly figure, hesitated, but Deng Chanyu didn't hesitate at all, dragging Ji Fa down to stab him, resulting in the deaths of all her comrades! She truly didn't care about the deaths of her comrades. Following a general like this, the soldiers below suffered terribly.
Chapter 13 Investiture of the Gods
After the two had prepared themselves for the possibility that Ji Fa might fall to his death, the reality was unexpected: Ji Fa and Deng Chanyu fell into a grove of trees.
“Good idea. I feel that Ji Fa has some luck. He hasn’t died after all this trouble. It seems that he doesn’t need our help anymore.”
Tang Yu looked down at the grove of trees below, shook her head slightly, and looked on with a touch of emotion.
Yuan Shen nodded helplessly. He had originally come to watch the show, but as he watched, he and his wife became speechless.
"I should learn magic instead, since I'm bored anyway."
So Tang Yu began to teach Yuan Shen some minor spells and those interesting and magical incantations.
Yuan Shen studied diligently, and under Tang Yu's careful guidance, he gradually mastered the subtleties of magic.
Ji Fa and Deng Chanyu had been unconscious for a long time, and Ji Fa was the first to wake up.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar forest, with Deng Chanyu lying unconscious beside him.
Realizing he was in a favorable position, Ji Fa subconsciously picked up a stone, a murderous intent flashing through his mind. If he could just smash it down, he could eliminate this formidable enemy.
But at the last moment, Ji Fa hesitated, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily.
Finally, he put down the stone, tore off strips of his own cloth, and prepared to tie Deng Chanyu up.
But fate always seems to play tricks on people. Just as Ji Fa was about to tie her up, Deng Chanyu woke up.
The two instantly entered combat mode, exchanging blows with brutal force, making for an exceptionally intense fight.
Deng Chanyu was, after all, a seasoned general, and Ji Fa gradually lost his edge, eventually being knocked unconscious by a blow.
At this time, Tang Yu had already taught Yuan Shen how to fly on a sword.
In this world where both demons and humans can cultivate, it is not difficult for Yuan Shen to embark on the path of cultivation.
After consuming the elixir, one can draw in vital energy and begin their cultivation journey.
Therefore, the two did not pay much attention to Ji Fa and Deng Chanyu's duet performance.
Anyway, Ji Fa is like an unkillable cockroach, there's really no need for them to interfere.
Just as Tang Yu and Yuan Shen had predicted, Deng Chanyu did not kill Ji Fa, but instead tied him up and hung him from a tree.
When Ji Fa woke up again, the two began to argue.
Deng Chanyu accused Ji Fa of audacious treason, while Ji Fa angrily denounced Yin Shou for murdering his father and brother and harming the innocent.
The two argued heatedly, neither willing to back down.
In the middle of their argument, a wild boar suddenly sprang out of the bushes, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked them, completely interrupting their fight.
In order to deal with the wild boar, Deng Chanyu had to temporarily put aside her hostility towards Ji Fa and fight against the wild boar's attack together with him.
When Tang Yu sensed the fluctuations in spiritual energy, she saw Deng Chanyu take out her Five-Colored Stone magic weapon.
The powerful spiritual energy of the Five-Colored Stone instantly enveloped the wild boar, rendering it unable to resist and causing it to collapse and die.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Fa immediately leaped up to a tall tree to hide.
He had just settled down in the tree when he saw Tang Yu and Yuan Shen not far above.
Tang Yu and Yuan Shen gave each other an awkward yet polite smile, leaving Ji Fa completely dumbfounded.
However, he dared not make a sound at this moment, since Deng Chanyu was still below.
After Deng Chanyu left the forest, Ji Fa asked Yuan Shen a question.
"What are you two doing here? Have you seen Deng Chanyu?"
Yuan Shen remained calm and composed as he answered.
"Those who cultivate immortality need to practice their magic in places where the spiritual energy of nature is concentrated. My wife and I just happened to find this place with abundant spiritual energy, so we practiced flying on the clouds here."
I just saw you two fighting. I was originally going to help you deal with the wild boar, but I didn't expect Deng Chanyu to have a magical weapon that knocked the boar down in one go!
Ji Fa didn't completely believe it, but it was already late, and he didn't have time to ask any further questions.
"Since you can fly through the clouds, can you take me back to Xiqi City? The people in the Marquis's mansion must be very worried about me."
Ji Fa looked anxious, eager to get home.
Tang Yu and Yuan Shen were naturally willing to help.
Before leaving, seeing that Ji Fa paid no attention to the dead pig, Tang Yu offered Ji Fa a suggestion.
"Although Xiqi's food supplies can last for a while, as the Marquis of Xibo, you should prepare for the worst. Don't you think we should take that pig back?"
Ji Fa looked puzzled, his clear eyes revealing a hint of foolishness as he asked.
"Why take this dead pig back? This dead pig almost killed me just now."
Tang Yu looked at the already dark sky, feeling a sense of helplessness, and didn't want to say anything.
Yuan Shen held his wife's hand and almost burst out laughing. He knew all too well that his wife didn't want to communicate with "stupid people".
There was no other way; although Yuan Shen also had a bit of a "stupidity phobia," he had to make his wife's thoughts clear at this moment.
So Yuan Shen pointed to the wild boar and patiently explained.
"Heavenly punishment has descended, and Xiqi has wheat but no food. Although there is some grain stored in Xiqi's granaries, we cannot simply sit idly by and let it all run out. As the Marquis of Xibo, you must consider the future of the people of Xiqi."
