Return of the Ancient Gods

“I didn’t expect that Prince Chu Nan would go to such great lengths to protect his former rival.

It's a pity that you can save his life, but you can't save your own life, or your woman's life." Chu Xiu said sarcastically.

Chu Nan ignored Chu Xiu and took a gulp of the wine jar, drinking heartily.

“There are three things in this world that I cannot let down: the land, the beauty, and this jar of century-old wine in my hand.

This is really good wine. After taking a sip, the tension and anxiety in my heart are relieved a lot. It is a heart-breaking poison, but also a life-saving medicine!"

Hearing this, Beiyan couldn't help but burst into laughter:

Although I have heard about Chu Nan becoming a playboy and a decadent man before, not many people have seen him. Now it is really an eye-opener;

Born into a family of generals, he now goes to the battlefield and has to rely on alcohol to fortify himself in the face of a life-and-death fight. However, considering that it is his first time on the battlefield, and he is single-handedly facing thousands of troops, it is understandable.

Looking at Chu Nan’s flushed cheeks and the look as if he is about to get drunk at any time, it would be really funny if that were true.

Nan Chu's hope can really bring unexpected surprises to people.

"Laugh? I should laugh. I laugh at my own youth and ignorance, and my womanly kindness. But what are you laughing at?" Looking at the Northern Yan army opposite, Chu Nan took another sip and asked back with a look of suspicion on his face.

The smiles of the Northern Yan soldiers gradually froze and faded. For some reason, they had a bad premonition in their hearts, but they did not try to stop it.

"In the third national war, my father led his army to fight a decisive battle with you, Northern Yan. He won a great victory and beheaded millions of people, earning him the name 'Man Butcher'.

In the past, I never understood why my father was so cruel and brutal when all he needed to do was win this battle, which led to many conflicts between father and son. "Looking back on the past, Chu Nan sighed helplessly and took a sip of bitter wine, as if he could see the innocent self of the past.

As soon as the title of the Demon Suppressing King was announced, the smiles on the part of Beiyan stopped immediately, and they felt a chill in their hearts. It was indeed the battle that Chu Nan had described. Most of Beiyan's elite troops were wiped out, and the country's national strength was weakened and could not recover.

Even now, Beiyan has not fully recovered.

In Beiyan, the name of the Demon-Suppressing King is more intimidating than evil spirits. Even the most naughty children will immediately become well-behaved when they hear this name.

That battle made the Demon Suppressing King famous overnight, but also shattered tens of thousands of families in Northern Yan. It will always be a pain in their hearts and an indelible shame. Therefore, the people of Northern Yan always wanted to cut the Demon Suppressing King into pieces.

It was at this time that people from the Heavenly Palace came to them and the cooperation was a perfect agreement.

After the fear came the raging public anger. Liu Zhun, the supreme commander of Northern Yan, asked Chu Nan with a gloomy face, saying:

"Then according to what the prince said, do you think your father's approach is correct?"

"No, no, I thought my father was wrong in the past, and now, I still think he was wrong!" Chu Nan stretched out his index finger and swung it left and right, smiling slightly drunkenly:

"He is too merciful. He hasn't killed enough people!"

"..."

Originally, they felt a little relieved after hearing Chu Nan's "confession", but now that the subject had changed, Liu Jun and the Northern Yan soldiers looked extremely ugly, and the little bit of pride they had just felt disappeared.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Chu Nan's arrogance and cruelty angered everyone in Beiyan. The 20-strong army shouted in unison, with murderous intent boiling in their hearts.

burst!

Chu Nan drank the wine in one gulp, then threw the jar to the ground fiercely, intimidating the people on the opposite side, and roared:

"You deserved to die! You don't need to cry about the millions of people who were killed on the battlefield. War is not a matter of life and death. If you can't afford to lose, then just be honest and don't stir up trouble.

If you fight the enemy head-on, what kind of result is not natural?

You don't have to play the victim, saying that nine out of ten houses in Yandu are empty, crying like a woman because of the defeat and the death of people. You, Northern Yan, have occupied my Southern Chu for a hundred years, committing countless murders and causing countless families to be torn apart. We are the ones who should speak out, why is it your turn?"

"You are just a bunch of beasts walking in the world in the guise of civilization. I am afraid that you have tarnished the name of beasts.

"What you did today has completely exposed your cruelty and tyranny. No matter how powerful you become, you are nothing but a bandit living in a swamp of filth and dirt. You are indelibly inferior and mean!" Chu Nan spoke eloquently, all his words flowing smoothly, his emotions like the tide rising from the deep sea, endless,

"Of course we can accept failure. Regardless of success or failure, the spirits of the soldiers who died heroically should not be tarnished in any way.

However, we will never accept your despicable means of harming our soldiers; blood debt must be paid with blood, you killed 15 of my soldiers, and I will kill several times as many in revenge. "

"Your Excellency is so high-spirited, but the prerequisite is that you can do it." After being scolded all over and now being threatened openly, Liu Jun was just unhappy in his heart. He argued, and his tone was indeed not very confident.

Although Northern Yan is coming with great momentum this time, its weak strength is also a flaw, and it is not enough to start a new round of war. Therefore, this battle must be decided quickly and must not be delayed. The war must not be stalemate or expand.

"Of course. Beiyan has sent three armies this time to attack from three sides. The Beiyan army in the north will be beaten back. In the northeast, you are able to collude with the Ancient Celestial Phenomenon Sect, and we have also sent an army to suppress you. The most important thing is of course here." Chu Nan said confidently.

"I will kill all 20 of your troops. At least 30 of you will die in this battle!"

"Your Excellency, you want to kill all of our 20 soldiers. Your Excellency really has a big appetite. Do you think you can do it?

Do you think that you, with the 7 soldiers lying in ambush around here, can deal with our 20 people?" Liu Zhun sighed. At this point, there was nothing to hide.

Not only him, but most of the soldiers of Beiyan were also disdainful, thinking that Chu Nan was just dreaming and speaking out of impulse.

Chu Nan’s analysis was correct. The forces in the other two places were slightly weaker and could not withstand the suppression of the Southern Chu army. However, as long as they could delay for a while, the goal would naturally be achieved.

But there are 20 people here. Can Chu Nan kill them all?

I'm afraid his own life is not in danger!

"Then wait and see how you will meet your demise!" Chu Nan did not argue, and then said:

"And soon you will be in great trouble, just because of your stupidity!"

Chu Nan had just made some unrealistic comments, and now he was speaking nonsense again. Liu Zhun and the Northern Yan soldiers were amused and laughed so hard that they recovered after a long time and said jokingly:

"Please give me some advice, Your Excellency!"

"Your evil deeds have completely angered us. You will soon understand this saying: When the king is angry, millions of people will die and blood will flow for thousands of miles!" Chu Nan waved his arms, expressing his feelings with heroic spirit.

"Although I don't know what you have been doing for the past month, this has given us ample time to prepare. Soon after this battle, my demon-suppressing army stationed in the Shiwan Mountains will be able to march north. How will you resist then?"

Liu Zhun was terrified, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat. This was indeed what they were most worried about, and it could also be said to be the biggest disaster they had to face:

Even if Chu Nan was killed here today, they, Beiyan, would still have to face this huge threat, unless they could kill all of them perfectly!

Why is the Demon King so powerful and feared? Apart from his own reasons, the Demon Suppression Army under his command is another major reason:

The ace team of Northern Yan, which had trampled on them in the national war, had gained fame and was known as the invincible army of Southern Chu!

What's even more bizarre is that no one knows what their true strength is now:

After the third national war, the Demon-Suppressing Army has been stationed in the Shiwan Mountains and no intelligence has been released.

There are rumors that there are constant sounds of drums beating and fighting, which are horrifying to hear from afar.

In the fourth national war, the Demon Suppression King did not send out this army to fight, which made it even more difficult to figure out their true strength.

"What a sharp mouth!" In the void, the God King of Heaven took a look at Bei Yan's declining morale and commented that if Chu Nan won the battle with Chu Xiu, then everything he said would come true and Bei Yan would be in great trouble.

"I didn't expect that Prince Chu Nan, besides being a philanderer, is also an excellent eloquence and good at debate. It's unbelievable!" Seeing the turbulent morale of the Northern Yan army, Chu Xiu couldn't help but say something. He did underestimate Chu Nan's ability and he had to stop the situation before it got worse.

"Don't worry, it's your turn now!" Chu Nan interrupted Chu Xiu's speech, turned his spearhead towards him, and said calmly:

“As a minister of Southern Chu, a champion marquis personally appointed by the emperor, he actually colluded with the enemy and betrayed his own country. He acted dirty and filthy, selling out his master for fame and fortune. Whoever he joins will suffer!

Of course, you can also say that you would do anything to get revenge, after all, it is a fact that your whole family was wiped out.

But I don't understand, you are so angry, what injustice has happened? The treacherous officials disrupted the government and framed the loyal and honest people, they deserve death!"

“During this period, Emperor Chu and several other aristocratic families have dug up your family assets.

So there is a historical reason for you to do this - your Zhao family ancestor was one of the nine heroes who founded the Great Chu Dynasty. Others fought bravely and risked their lives, but your ancestor was afraid of death and lived in seclusion. He even colluded with Beiyan to murder his sworn brothers for his own benefit, and was killed instead."

Chu Nan's words became more and more sharp, and Chu Xiu's face became more and more ugly.

"We didn't kill you all, and we didn't eradicate your side branch, but we ended up suffering from you. Our ancestors betrayed their faith, and our descendants became traitors to the country. Isn't this normal? What runs in your blood is filthy..."

"..."
