Chapter 687 Victory in a Single Battle
The moment Zaochi saw Dayi, his face tensed up. He raised his right hand, and the battle bow known as Changyun Sutong abruptly opened. Wei Yuan could see with his naked eyes the extremely clear fluctuations of Yuan Qi. Rules and authority converged, transforming into dark golden arrows.
Ripples of energy spread around him.
These arrows shot out at speeds that were impossible to capture with the naked eye, or even divine sense.
That instant almost made Wei Yuan think of the meteor shower that legend said caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Wei Yuan's pupils constricted, directly sensing the danger that would cause his demise.
He subconsciously prepared to draw his sword.
Dayi swayed, grabbing the human battle bow from Wei Yuan's hand.
Wei Yuan barely reacted before the battle bow was taken by Dayi. The shy youth's eyes were bright as he drew the bow, firing. Zaochi's attack, which seemed capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, was pierced in an instant.
As easily as popping a bubble.
The threat Zaochi unleashed, which made Wei Yuan feel he might die and forced him to draw his sword with all his strength, was directly penetrated.
It was as if time stopped.
Only that one dark golden arrow could continue forward slowly.
When Wei Yuan reacted, Zaochi's Changyun Sutong bow was humming, and Dayi, with a shy smile, stood before Zaochi, his feet interlocked, the human battle bow in his hand like a crescent moon, directly locking onto Zaochi's throat.
*Crack.*
In the hand of the divine general, the battle bow bestowed by the Heavenly Emperor was pierced through the middle.
Zaochi's chest and abdomen armor shattered, and golden divine blood flowed continuously.
Dayi retracted the battle bow: "You've actually started practicing my archery these years."
"But back then, you used a ganqi (battle axe and shield) to fight me."
"What a pity."
Zaochi gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible, impossible… I've fought with you, I know your strength, you couldn't possibly reach this level. My archery has already surpassed you from back then. You, your current state, a body after death, it's impossible for you to improve any further!"
"Yes, I'm already dead, so it's impossible for me to become stronger."
Dayi extended his hand, his smile no longer shy, his voice quiet as he said, "But who told you."
"That I used my full strength back then?"
??!
Zaochi raged, "That was a life-and-death battle!"
Dayi concisely replied, "For you, it certainly was."
"For me, not necessarily."
He retracted the battle bow in his hand. In fact, the battle bow shattered in his hand as he retracted it. His movement paused, and he looked apologetically at Wei Yuan. Zaochi clenched his right fist tightly, raging, "Why didn't you kill me?!"
Dayi thought for a moment, then seriously said:
"We're old acquaintances, after all. Besides, I've already killed you."
He pointed to Zaochi's heart.
The shy youth raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that in these thousands of years, you were actually immersed in the battle with me back then, that you abandoned your own martial arts and chose to cultivate my archery. In fact, you have never truly 'come alive'."
"Killing you like this has no value. Your state of mind, accumulated over thousands of years, has already been broken, Zaochi."
"From now on, you will continue to live in the shadow of Yi."
Dayi turned around calmly, without any shyness.
The imposing and confident aura on his body made it impossible for anyone to act rashly.
"It's a pity, the Emperor told you that you have surpassed me, to help you out of your thousands of years of inner demons, right? That battle bow that belonged to me, I'm afraid the Emperor personally destroyed ninety percent of it, and then let you break it when you were young in this life, right? But he tried so hard to help you."
"But you are walking deeper and deeper into this inner demon."
"He will also be very regretful."
"He wanted to help you, but he could only watch you sink deeper and deeper, unable to extricate yourself."
Facing Dayi's back, Zaochi struggled in his eyes. Finally, he suddenly roared angrily, took a step forward, and his whole body's aura became violent. He stretched out his hand and grasped the divine weapon that appeared in the void, holding the battle axe with both hands, and fiercely chopped down.
"I am not your opponent."
"But, I still have 500,000 elites, Dayi, die!"
Having his inner weakness pierced, Zaochi communicated with the souls of his soldiers, and was about to kill heavily. As a divine general, he was able to use his own command to forcibly communicate with the evil energy of the army formation, relying on the Great Wilderness veins, but he got nothing.
No battle formation evil energy.
Only endless panic and distracting thoughts impacted his heart as the commander.
Zaochi's consciousness was impacted into a blank space, his thoughts stagnated, and his movements swayed.
His aura suddenly stagnated, and in the next moment, Dayi, who was facing away from him, suddenly turned around, his right hand holding a dark golden, simple arrow. The arrow directly pierced through the divine general Zaochi's neck from one side, coming out from the other. Golden divine blood spurted out, and the patterns on the arrow lit up, then slowly disappeared.
This was the arrow that shot down the nine suns back then.
The last one that exists in the world.
Zaochi's divine soul began to collapse, and at the same time, a sword pierced through his heart.
The divine general's eyes widened angrily. The opponent who had just used a bow and arrow actually used swordsmanship of this level. He suddenly realized that this was simply a killing game aimed at him. His right hand clenched his fingers. At this time, he thought of his shield, but it was already too late, and finally fell powerlessly.
The divine light in his pupils dimmed, and finally dissipated.
Dayi pulled out the arrow, which had lost its effect of completely destroying the divine soul and vitality, with his backhand.
Dayi said, "Another old friend died at the hands of Yi."
Wei Yuan was silent: "What a pity."
Dayi shook his head: "Any living being must be responsible for their actions."
His voice paused, and he said, "Zhuge Wuhou's plan… that person is really terrifying."
Wei Yuan really wanted to raise his chin slightly, and then answer proudly.
"Who do you think raised him!"
But considering that his IQ was only at the level of ordinary people, saying that might be ridiculed by Zhulong, so he forcibly held back the words of boasting, and just nodded, and said, "Yes."
From provocation, to luring him away from the Divine Soldier Guard, to Dayi's final strike.
Everything was within Zhuge's design.
And in the end, the young strategist suggested that Dayi let Zaochi go. With the souls of 500,000 soldiers dead in battle, even if Zaochi returned, he would not be reused. On the contrary, by using Dayi's favor of letting Zaochi go, it was possible to make Zaochi a target that we could win over.
After this battle, Zaochi will inevitably be suspected in the Great Wilderness, and it will be easy to recruit him.
But if Zaochi chose to sneak attack.
Then at this moment, he would definitely choose the possession of the army soul, and the remnant thoughts of the 500,000 troops would only bring a huge impact to his mind. Even the divine general of the Great Wilderness would inevitably reveal huge flaws at this time, which would be the best opportunity to kill him.
But Dayi really hoped that Zaochi could live.
The shy youth quietly watched his former friend and mortal enemy, and finally said nothing. He just dug a simple grave for Zaochi and buried him, while Wei Yuan protected the fragments of the battle bow and the remaining arrows.
The chip on the battle bow stored the battle records, and the Kua Fu Project needed this thing.
And the arrows.
These arrows were too expensive.
This reason alone was enough for Wei Yuan to spend enough effort to collect them.
"The first step is completed, it seems that Wu'an Jun and Yun Chang are also almost there."
Wei Yuan collected the spoils of war after killing Zaochi, including the broken battle bow in his hand, including a pile of lazy things. As poor as he was, he naturally didn't let go of anything, including Zaochi's ganqi, which was a pair of quite heavy weapons, with a strong sense of killing, and was obviously extraordinary.
Wei Yuan was a little curious: "Zaochi, doesn't He have a mythological concept?"
"No."
Dayi came back to his senses and said:
"As for why, because the mythological concept of using ganqi belongs to Xingtian, and Xingtian was only sealed, not killed in battle, so He can only take the path of a divine general. Speaking of which, you want to go to Heavenly Emperor Mountain, right?"
Wei Yuan nodded.
Dayi carefully considered his words and said, "Although I have already said it before, Heavenly Emperor Mountain is outside the ten directions, but it will only pass through a corner of the Great Wilderness. Even at the peak of my strength, Yi, I cannot rely on strength to penetrate the inside and outside of the ten directions, and run from the Great Wilderness to Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Therefore, I can't even see you."
"Even so, do you still want to take the risk?"
Wei Yuan nodded.
"I have something I must do."
"Alright."
Dayi thought for a while, lowered his body and looked through the spoils of war collected by the poor Wei Museum Master, found a token, and handed it to Wei Yuan, saying, "Heavenly Emperor Mountain is Di Jun's palace, so even if it's just passing through the Great Wilderness, many dignitaries and gods will go to watch the ceremony."
"If you want to get to the front, you need some skills. Don't act rashly, otherwise, if you open the formation, even me, I only have the strength to fight now, and I may not be able to take you in. Even if I take you in, it will be difficult to come back alive."
"This is Zaochi's waist card, which represents that you are Zaochi's confidant. You can rely on this to sneak in."
"Ah, kill him, and then use his waist card to sneak in?"
"He's already dead anyway."
Wei Yuan looked at Dayi, and Dayi looked at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan picked up Zaochi's waist card, tied it around his waist, thought for a while, and said:
"Where is it?"
"Great Wilderness, Western Regions Heavenly Realm."
Western Regions Heavenly Realm…
Wei Yuan turned his head to look at the west, and exhaled.
Yu, wait for me.
………………
Northwestern Heavenly Realm.
The heavenly god Shi Yi, with a face like an axe-cut, a tough temperament, and sharp short hair, raised his head.
"So, it's not necessarily farmers and workers."
He said, "If you have to find these two types of people, that's so-called dogmatism."
"Rigid and inflexible, ignorant of change."
"The real essence is that the most oppressed group of creatures, and the creatures who have mastered advanced productive forces but are still oppressed. That is to say, what needs to be united are the mortals who are not even qualified to practice cultivation, and the cultivators who have cultivation but have to be oppressed for the rest of their lives."
"We understand!"
If Wei Yuan saw it, he would definitely be stunned on the spot.
Shi Yi directly opened a barrier where the flow of time changed from the outside world, selected enlightened creatures from all races, and taught him the *Spark Great Dao* that he had comprehended. All living beings should choose their own path. A single spark can start a prairie fire, but Shi Yi felt that this first fire should be lit as soon as possible.
Outside the formation, several red escape lights flew over.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Yi's voice was calm.
After he came back, he handed the Nuwa soil to the Nuwa Ten Intestines God, and after seeing the girl in white, he knew about Zaochi and the million transcendent army after he finished all this. However, because of the relationship between him and Di Jun, he had to find a way to stop this matter secretly, at least to let the human world know.
The man who practiced the Spark Method with the most enlightenment had a blank face, faintly terrified:
"...Zaochi, Divine General Zaochi He..."
"He was killed."
"Huh?!"
Shi Yi frowned and said, "Impossible, there are millions of troops, at least 500,000 have gathered. If Divine General Zaochi is in command, almost no one in the world can defeat him. What happened?"
The young man's voice was difficult: "500,000 troops, 500,000 troops..."
"Intercepted halfway."
"Was it late on the road?" Shi Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
But the young man in front of him shook his head and murmured, "The commander of the intercepting army broke through the wind tunnel, drove the 500,000 allied forces of various countries to the Wind and Thunder Marsh, and then, with the explosiveness of the heaven and earth Yuan Qi itself, he triggered a natural disaster."
The young disciple with an apple face and a simple smile looked at Shi Yi with difficulty:
"500,000 allied forces of various countries."
"All died in the natural disaster."
"None survived."
"Annihilated."
Shi Yi's sight solidified, and the scroll in his hand unconsciously used force, turning into powder.
