After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

Peach Mountain appears as if it has been cleaved in two by a sword.

Two peaks stand facing each other, forming the Zhongcheng Pass.

Directly above the closed door, the second prince was bound hand and foot and hung in the center.

While Wei Qing and the others were distracted, Meng Tian and Meng Yi slipped away and retreated into the gates of hell.

"Second Prince, do not panic, I am here to save you!"

Wei Qingchong called out from above the closing door.

They joined forces with the Second Prince, but failed to protect him.

At this moment, he felt guilty and urged his horse to rush into the narrow gate.

"Grand Marshal, please calm down!"

The Overlord Emperor stopped him, saying, "Let me handle this."

The pass was narrow, allowing only one horse to pass at a time.

The Meng brothers, who were lying in ambush inside, were two terrestrial immortals at the peak of their cultivation.

Although Wei Qing is also a terrestrial immortal, he is only at the Great Completion stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Not only was he a small level behind his opponent, but he also had to fight two opponents at once.

If we rush in, we'll probably be captured alive, just like the Second Prince.

"Be careful, Tyrant Emperor!" Wei Qing did not insist.

The two opposing generals were highly skilled, and Meng Tian was known for his expertise in defense.

Acting rashly at this point will only worsen the situation.

"rest assured."

The Overlord Emperor, brimming with confidence, spurred his horse forward, declaring, "With me in charge, victory is assured!"

Despite his bold words, he did not take it lightly.

The Overlord Spear exuded a chilling aura, and the black horse charged like lightning into the five-foot-wide pass.

"You brat from the Meng family, come out and face your death!"

Before the Overlord Emperor could finish speaking, a short sword came slashing towards him.

"Thorn-"

The Overlord Spear blocked the attack horizontally.

However, the mountain crevice was too narrow to allow the Overlord Spear to be raised horizontally.

The Overlord Emperor didn't take it seriously.

With the cultivation level of a terrestrial immortal, he thrust out with this spear.

The bluestone cliff face can be sliced ​​open as easily as tofu.

but.

The Emperor's expression suddenly darkened as the Overlord Spear encountered tremendous resistance.

The indestructible spearhead sliced ​​diagonally across the cliff face, sending sparks flying.

The bluestone cliff was completely undamaged.

The spear technique was not executed properly, and the Overlord hurriedly ducked and shrank his neck, barely managing to dodge the incoming sword.

Startled, he quickly reined in his horse and retreated.

Before the horse's hooves had even moved, the hairs on the Empress Batian's neck suddenly stood on end.

A short sword struck from behind.

The Overlord Emperor raised his spear and used a backhand strike to deflect the attack from behind.

Meng Yi and Meng Tian, ​​one in front and one behind, blocked the Overlord Emperor in the middle.

Both men wielded short swords and moved with ease through the narrow passage.

The Overlord Emperor's eighteen-foot-long spear was completely unusable.

The black horse must lift its front hooves off the ground and stand on its hind legs in order to turn around.

In such a confined space, the Overlord Emperor, his horse, and his spear could not move around at all.

"You scoundrel, what a trick!" the Overlord Emperor roared in fury.

Meng Tian truly lives up to her reputation for being skilled in defense.

The chosen battleground completely hampered the Overlord Emperor's ability to unleash his full potential.

What's even more amazing is that the mountains and cliffs here are so majestic that even terrestrial deities cannot damage them.

I really don't know how they discovered this strange place.

"Ding, ding, dong, dong..."

Meng Tian and Meng Yi wielded their two short swords with the agility of swimming fish, each move aimed at the opponent's vital points.

The Overlord Emperor was in a flurry of activity.

A long spear can only be used up and down, or forward and backward.

Lacking proficiency in swordsmanship, he had no choice but to abandon his spear and resort to his unskilled fists and feet.

……

Outside the pass.

The sixth prince, with a solemn expression, seemed to be talking to himself as he said:

"The sound is getting fainter and fainter, could it be that the Overlord Emperor..."

"No way." Wei Qing shook his head.

There was little confidence in his tone.

After overthrowing the tyrannical rule of Emperor Ying, the Overlord Emperor was indeed invincible.

However, Meng Tian was also destined for defeat.

Meng Yi, as the Emperor Ying's personal bodyguard, is naturally even more unfathomable.

Two against one...

"Pfft-"

Suddenly, a shower of blood gushed out from the narrow passage.

The upper and lower halves of the Overlord Emperor flew out one after the other.

Like two tattered sacks, they fell to the ground.

"Insidious villain!"

The Overlord Emperor cursed angrily.

The two sections of the body rejoined and stood up.

Immortals on land can be reborn, and reattaching severed bodies is a piece of cake.

"..." Wei Qing, the Sixth Prince, was shocked.

The Overlord Emperor was actually cut in two at the waist by the Meng brothers.

His face flushed slightly, and the Overlord Emperor looked embarrassed.

Apart from Zhou Yi, he had never been killed by anyone else.

"The area inside the pass is too narrow, and this emperor... this general simply cannot maneuver within its limits."

He explained.

Wei Qing and the other man nodded, without a hint of mockery.

Wei Qing, in particular, was skilled in military strategy and tactics.

The terrain, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack, had long been a headache for him.

However, the fact that the Overlord Emperor was so easily killed was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Meng Tian is indeed skilled in defense," Wei Qing sighed.

"He's nobody!"

The Overlord Emperor was furious and cursed, "Spells are forbidden inside!"

He couldn't use his spear effectively, his magic was forbidden, and he wasn't good at swordsmanship.

Being hampered at every turn, it's no wonder the Overlord Emperor was frustrated.

Looking at Peach Mountain that soared into the clouds, Wei Qing said:

"The pass is difficult to breach, so we'll attack the mountain."

"I'll do it!" the Overlord Emperor roared, his figure soaring into the air.

Wei Qing, the sixth prince, followed closely behind.

If the mountain could be split open and moved, only one pass would remain.

Undoubtedly, it will be easier to attack.

"Overlord Splits the Mountain!"

With a flick of his spear, a beam of light shot towards the towering mountain.

"boom!"

An earth-shattering magical power exploded, causing the earth to tremble violently.

The mountain collapsed and the earth split open, sending boulders flying into the distance.

Dust rose up like a thick fog.

The dust gradually settled...

As Wei Qing and the other two continued watching, they all wore expressions of helplessness.

This mountain was previously connected on both sides, forming a continuous mountain range.

Now, they are being attacked by the Overlord Emperor.

The mountain peaks are separated from the continuous mountain ranges and stand alone.

Despite enduring a devastating attack, it remained completely unharmed.

In the middle of the mountain, there is a narrow passage, which is what the Meng brothers called the Gate of Hell.

"I never imagined that this mountain would be a magical treasure," the Sixth Prince exclaimed in surprise.

With the second prince still in the enemy's hands, the three of them, unable to spare a moment of amazement, landed back on the ground to search for a way to break through the barrier.

……

Inside the pass.

Meng Yi looked quite pleased with himself.

He leaned against the rocks and looked through the narrow passage at Wei Qing and the others who were anxiously pacing around outside the pass.

Above him, Meng Tian sat on a pine branch growing horizontally on the cliff face.

Occupying this pass allows us to attack or defend as needed.

Indeed, they are in an invincible position.

With such a favorable location, losing is harder than climbing to heaven.

The two brothers were completely at ease.

Sudden.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, walked side by side from the pass.

Black hat, black robe, black shoes.

White hat, white robe, white shoes.

Both were dressed in the same color, each wearing a tall gauze hat.

The man in black held a dark iron chain with two curved claws at the end.

A man in white, clutching a mourning stick, white cloth strips fluttering in the wind.

The two walked over casually and slowly.

The soldiers lying in ambush behind the rocks completely ignored them.

"Spirit?"

The Meng brothers looked at each other in surprise.

The soldiers lying in ambush could not see the two of them because their cultivation level was lower than that of the Nascent Soul Realm.

After a person dies, their soul quickly dissipates.

Why did the souls of these two people not only not dissipate, but instead solidify as if they were living people?

Meeting the surprised gazes of the two brothers, two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared behind Meng Yi.

Then, he stood silently on the edge of the cliff.

"General Wang Ben?!"

Meng Yi looked at the black figure and couldn't help but cry out.

Meng Tian, ​​like a giant bird, swooped down from the pine branch.

He also recognized that the black-clad spirit holding the chain was none other than Wang Ben, a former general of the Great Feng Dynasty.

The Meng brothers entered officialdom at the end of the previous dynasty, by which time Wang Ben had already retired after achieving his goals.

However, the two brothers still knew something about Wang Ben.

Wang Ben was beheaded by the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty a few days ago, and the two of them have already received the news.

At this moment, we unexpectedly met in this way.

The Meng brothers were greatly surprised.

"General, you are nothing but a name from the past."

Wang Ben remained expressionless and said, "I am Hei Wuchang."

Black Impermanence?

Meng Tian and Meng Yi exchanged a glance, puzzled! What were they up to?

Meng Yi scratched his head and asked:

"Then...why has the general come?"

Waving the chain in his hand, Black Impermanence said, "You two brothers are about to die, so I will take your souls back to the underworld."
