Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

"The Yellow River flows far away among the white clouds, a lonely city stands on the ten-thousand-foot mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not reach Yumen Pass."

The Master's distinctive, deep, and dignified voice resounded throughout the city.

Everyone turned to look at him in unison, and saw Master Chen, dressed in a scholar's robe and wearing an official's hat, stepping out slowly and steadily, as if ascending step by step on a staircase in the air, each step with a character, each character magnificent.

After reciting the poem, the Master stood on the twenty-eight steps high in the air and looked down, the book in his hand pointing sharply at the ancient war tree.

In the next instant, amidst a deafening roar, a murky, dark red wall, formed from countless dust, broken armor, and severed blades, surged forth like a raging dragon and crashed into the ancient war tree.

With a single strike, the ancient war tree, the size of a small hill, was pierced through, howled, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.

The crimson dragon, undeterred, turned and crashed into other approaching ancient war trees with a flick of its head.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the vast battlefield, ancient war trees, unable to move easily, fell to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The ancient trees, whose intelligence was no less than that of humans, let out painful cries, their eyes filled with fear, and they stopped, not daring to go any further.

On the city wall, the soldiers roared with fervor, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Master, that's Master Chen! Rumor has it that he's the number one iron turtle of the Great Xia Dynasty. With Master Chen guarding the defense line, even the gods can't break through. Jialin Pass is saved!"

"Rumors? Who spread them?"

"I don't know... It seems like what they're saying in the group is Su Yan's rumor."

"It's actually [Yumen Pass]... Has the Master become this powerful?" On the city wall, Kong Shang, also dressed in a Confucian robe, looked up at the Master with envy in his eyes.

His cultivation was similar to that of the Master, both using literature as a foundation to influence the laws of heaven and earth.

The stronger one's strength, the more powerful the forces one can utilize... For example, during the Battle of Cangnan, the only thing the Master summoned was a very ordinary section of the Great Wall, which could only be used for defense.

Today, we can recall the ancient wall known as 'Yumen Pass'.

It should be noted that this section of the Great Wall was first built during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, to consolidate Huo Qubing's victory over the Xiongnu and to open up the Hexi Corridor.

The weight of history is so profound that almost everyone knows it.

From the day it was founded, it symbolized the strongest backbone of the Great Xia Dynasty, and over thousands of years it has been stained with countless blood and buried countless heroic souls.

The fact that Confucius could summon the Jade Gate Pass signifies the Great Xia's recognition of him, and that he is no longer far from becoming a god.

"When will I be able to get to that point...?"

……

Before Kong Shang could rejoice for long, thousands of horned eagles circling in the sky swooped down in a swarm!

Their original mission was to flank and cut off support between passes.

Seeing that the Great Wall summoned by the Master had destroyed nearly a fifth of the ancient war trees in just a few minutes, and that without reinforcements, the ancient war trees would likely be wiped out, the leader hidden among the eagles could no longer restrain himself, and his sharp talons suddenly pointed at the dark red wall.

The three thousand griffins displayed astonishing coordination during their dive, quickly regrouping and twisting into an indestructible drill-like arrow, crashing fiercely into the waist of the city wall dragon with the force of a falling meteor!

"Bah!"

The Great Wall was like a giant piece of cloth being sliced ​​open by a sharp blade, cut in two!

The towering "arrow" seemed to completely ignore inertia, its rear wing becoming its forward wing, completing its turn in a mere instant, and once again slicing across the city wall.

"Bang bang bang-"

The wall collapsed, and brick fragments rained down.

The leader of the eagles, with its swarm, swooped down with undiminished force, piercing straight towards the Master who was exposed in the void like an arrow.

The Master remained completely calm, stroking his beard and smiling, pointing at the ferocious bird and saying:

"Look at your meat bird, with its plump feathers, its meat must be succulent. If I could hunt it and roast it until it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sizzling with oil, and pair it with a pot of good wine, then play chess with Ye Fan and win ten games in a row, utterly defeating him... that would be the ultimate taste of life."

"Master! Stop lamenting! Hurry up and make your move, or I might really be done for!"

Behind the teacher, a page hurriedly poked his head out, stuffed a scroll into his hand, and urged him on.

"Don't panic, don't panic... let this old man make his selection."

The Master calmly flipped through a few pages, and after a moment selected a poem, smiling with satisfaction: "This one is excellent, just right. It's all thanks to the poets of past dynasties who have left behind these timeless masterpieces; if I were to compose one myself, I'm afraid I would make a fool of myself..."

He picked up the book, paused briefly, and then read aloud again:

"Long clouds over Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, a lone city gazes afar at the Jade Gate Pass. Through a hundred battles, their golden armor is worn through, they will not return until Lou Lan is conquered."

This is yet another poem praising the "Jade Gate Pass".

However, this time, no new city walls were summoned.

The moment the last word of the seven-character quatrain fell, the previously torn Jade Gate Pass seemed to rewind time and instantly reassembled!

Its aura was several times heavier than before, like an insurmountable barrier standing in front of the Master.

Seeing this, the horned eagle leader, having experienced easily cutting through the city wall before, felt no fear. He commanded his tribe to charge again with undiminished momentum, confident that he could once again cut the restored city wall in half and pierce through the old man behind it.

But this time, it's completely different.

The moment the Jade Gate Pass was fully opened, solid human figures clad in tattered armor gradually emerged on the dark red city walls! They stood silently behind the battlements, bows drawn, arrows fully extended, all aimed at the swooping flock of eagles.

Before the leader could react,

The Master's scroll has already been unfurled.

"kill--!!!!"

Accompanied by a fierce shout that shook the battlefield, ten thousand arrows were released from the bow!

Like a metallic storm that appeared out of nowhere, the air was torn apart, the light was swallowed up, leaving only an overwhelming penetrating force that swept over the three thousand horned eagles, completely engulfing, piercing, and annihilating them!

The battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment.

As the steel torrent receded, only a dozen or so sparrowhawks remained on the horizon, their bodies riddled with arrows, wailing mournfully.

"Hahaha--"

The Master laughed heartily, full of vigor and high spirits:

"If you ask me... besides passing the imperial examination and the wedding night, today we add another great joy in life, called, 'The enemy's blood tempers the pen, the poem is completed amidst the bones of ten thousand,' hahahahaha~~"

The pageboy behind him grinned and chuckled, but this ease didn't last long—

The Master's laughter stopped abruptly.

He calmly straightened the scholar's cap on his head, and suddenly, without saying a word, he grabbed the pageboy by the back of his collar, turned around, and ran towards the city wall.
