I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

That was Gu Xiu’s first battle in his military career.

That battle.

To be honest, Gu Xiu himself couldn't quite remember what happened afterwards.

All he knew was that from the time he climbed up the city wall until the city was completely breached, he had broken five swords in succession, and had twenty-three wounds of varying sizes on his body. His entire body was stained with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether they were from the enemy or his own.

When the army commander entered the city and saw his appearance, he immediately enlisted him in the army.

It also started from that battle.

Gu Xiu's military career officially began.

In every battle, he was the one who rushed the fastest and killed the most people. Although many of his credits were picked up by others, he didn't care. There was only one thing on his mind.

kill!

Kill kill kill!

Kill all those who can be killed, kill all enemies in sight!

He was like a monster obsessed with killing, and even his colleagues began to fear and dread him.

Gu Xiu knew all this, but he didn't care. There was still blood in front of his eyes, and the desire to kill had not disappeared. He was addicted to this kind of killing. It seemed that only in this way could his boundless anger subside a little.

This kind of people.

In fact, most of them don’t live long.

Even if you are lucky enough to survive, your chances of career advancement are slim.

In fact, this is what happened later.

Continuous battles had left Gu Xiu with more and more scars all over his body, and he had already made a name for himself as a killer. However, he was lucky, and no matter how dangerous the situation was, he was able to escape death in the end, until the empire was destroyed and the war ended.

The end of the war is a good thing, but it is not so good for Gu Xiu.

His killing spree was interrupted.

Because the enemy country has surrendered, the empire will not have any wars to fight for at least the next twenty years. This means that unless Gu Xiu uses a knife against his own people, he will not be able to kill them easily.

Worse.

When it came to rewarding people for their merits, although Gu Xiu's military exploits could be said to be fruitful, at the critical moment someone found out that he was once the descendant of a family of criminals. Although he had been cleared of the charges, he no longer had any hope of promotion.

Finally, he was assigned to a small town called Chihuo Town as the town envoy.

Although he has independent military power and is considered a local emperor, he is ultimately just a small character. In addition, Chihuo Town is not a strategic location. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is his only chance to completely stay away from the center of power in this life.

In the first year after arriving in Chihuo Town, Gu Xiu felt very uncomfortable.

Compared to drinking, sex, and the smell of wine, he was more interested in the feeling of riding on horseback, wielding a long sword, and slaying one enemy after another. Even late at night, Gu Xiu would often dream of himself in some unfamiliar place, swinging his sword and slashing enemies. Sometimes, he would even dream of slaughtering the entire city of Chihuo Town.

This kind of suffering is unbearable.

In an attempt to improve the situation, Gu Xiu put down his weapons and began to study instead.

The effect is good.

Those books became Gu Xiu's support. The principles recorded in them made the world that was constantly glowing red in his eyes begin to calm down. He began to concentrate on studying various subjects and reading various books.

The murderous governor turned into a book-loving scholar.

This attracted a lot of attention in Chihuo City. Even Gu Xiu's former boss almost bit off his tongue when he came to Chihuo City for inspection.

The next few years.

The murderous aura on Gu Xiu began to dissipate quickly, and he looked more like a gentle scholar than a murderous general.

The Chihuo City, which was originally a cold and bitter place, gradually prospered under Gu Xiu's governance, and even became a wealthy place among the border fortresses, with a constant stream of merchants coming and going.

Everything is going in a good direction.

can.

The most difficult thing in this world always seems to be the long term.

The accident happened in the tenth year that Gu Xiu served as the envoy of Chihuo Town. The war that had been dormant started again. Chihuo City, as a border city, was also the first to bear the brunt. Gu Xiu, who had given up fighting for ten years, once again took up his long sword and went into battle.

The enemy country obviously also took notice of Gu Xiu's ten-year suspension of military operations, so as soon as the war broke out, they sent a large army to attack, treating Chihuo City as a suitable breakthrough point.

only……

When their mighty army arrived at Chihuo City, they realized that the general who had studied for ten years had become even stronger, especially in the attainments of the soldiers in deploying troops and forming battle formations. Before the mighty army could even make the first stroke of their grand blueprint, they were overthrown along with the generals and their plans.

In desperation, they could only retreat temporarily and change their attack targets.

But the killer from ten years ago had no intention of letting them go. Instead, he led 8,000 cavalrymen to attack them, and like sharp arrows, he captured cities and territories along the way, and defeated them without any armor.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

Compared to the murderous evil ghost ten years ago, Gu Xiu ten years later has become much gentler and no longer slaughters surrendered soldiers wantonly.

But this was not a good thing, because although these surrendered soldiers were not killed, they were persuaded by Gu Xiu and became a powerful army to attack them. The Chihuo Town garrison, which originally had only 8,000 cavalry, eventually grew into an army of 40,000.

They won every battle and even reached the gates of the enemy's capital, scaring the emperor of the empire so much that he almost moved the capital and fled.

He created a legend!

However, this legend also ended here, because when Gu Xiu besieged the imperial capital, the support that should have arrived from the rear did not arrive, but instead they all withdrew. Later, they urgently summoned him back. After a little hesitation, Gu Xiu still chose to withdraw.

This military achievement was actually already high enough, but Gu Xiu's prestige reached its peak.

Everyone was speculating that he would receive a huge reward after his return.

only……

When Gu Xiu finally returned, he found that the empire and the enemy country had reached a truce agreement. All the cities he had captured were returned, but he, the greatest contributor, was given a cup of poisoned wine.

Killing him was the enemy country's demand for compensation as a token of surrender.

The compensation is generous.

The king far away in the sky, persuaded by the slanderous ministers around him, quickly made a decision to give up the offspring of a family that was once a criminal in exchange for border stability and a large amount of compensation.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be a good deal.

In order to ensure that Gu Xiu had no power to resist, the state government even sent a large army to force Gu Xiu to surrender.

Naturally, Gu Xiu refused to give in. On the contrary, he had anticipated this might happen before he returned, so he made arrangements in advance. When faced with the poisoned wine, Gu Xiu overturned the table and raised the banner of rebellion.

only……

The provincial government seemed to be even more ruthless than him. When he raised the banner of rebellion and temporarily avoided direct confrontation with the army, the provincial government soldiers had already pointed their butcher knives at the people of Chihuo City.

To use their lives.

In exchange for Gu Xiu's life.

Despite Gu Xiu's extraordinary talent, he couldn't bear to see the people of Chihuo City suffer, so he had to compromise temporarily, hoping to save the people of Chihuo City at the cost of his own life. However, to prevent future trouble, the provincial general ruthlessly slaughtered the entire population of Chihuo City even after Gu Xiu clearly expressed his willingness to surrender and even tie himself up.

At that moment, the red light in Gu Xiu's eyes that had disappeared for many years appeared again.

A fierce battle began.

In the end, Gu Xiu won and most of the provincial army was captured.

Standing on the city wall of Chihuo City again, looking at the red earth below and the Chihuo City without any life left, Gu Xiu was in a dilemma with red eyes.

Someone suggested.

Kill all these surrendered soldiers as a sacrifice, then fight your way to the capital and drag that dog emperor down from the throne.

Some people also proposed it.

This group of people are just poor people who follow orders. They may have killed people in the city, but in the end they were just swept away by the general trend and should be forgiven.

There were differences of opinion and everyone was waiting for Gu Xiu's decision.

And Gu Xiu.

We are indeed facing an extremely difficult decision at this moment.

Because when the loyal servant died and the supervisor died, the terrifying figure that appeared in front of him once again descended in front of Gu Xiu and turned into a figure with long blood-red hair.

This person looks exactly like Gu Xiu.

But he was like the ruthless law of nature, he just looked down at Gu Xiu and asked coldly and cruelly:

"Can anger burn the heavens and burn oneself?"

"Your hatred is overwhelming. How is it any different from the evil beast you hate?"

"The seven emotions are fierce, anger is a poisonous flame that burns others and burns itself!"

"The blade in your hand, the fire in your heart, where are you pointing?"

"Do you know what true anger feels like?"

……

At the time when Gu Xiu was facing the final decision in the Lighting Disaster, at this moment, Guan Xuelan and Xu Wanqing, who were in a deep pit deep in the Burial Immortal Valley, were also facing an extremely difficult decision.

At this moment, ten days have passed since they dived into the deep pit.

These ten days.

The mysterious existence in the abyss of the Immortal Burial Valley really didn't bother to pay attention to them.

But this does not mean that their journey will be smooth. On the contrary, there are still many dangers along the way. From time to time, there are monsters composed of broken limbs, and from time to time, there are some ghost soldiers who look like immortals.

Even this originally straight road to the abyss is filled with a lot of evil formations.

Even Guan Xuelan didn't dare to hide her strength anymore, and began to secretly use her supreme power to clear the passage. Although it was hidden very well so that Xu Wanqing couldn't tell that it was the supreme power, it also made Xu Wanqing's fear of her reach its peak.

but.

This is not the biggest problem at the moment. The real problem is that at this moment, the two of them are faced with a fork in the road where they can only choose one of the two.
