Chapter 31: Blood-Soaked Three Passes (Part 2)
"Ha ha, Ninth Prince, weren’t you just very arrogant? Show your strength, where has your royal demeanor gone?"
Qian Luofeng laughed loudly, not missing any chance to mock. The Yun Family Army was almost destroyed by the Chu family, and as their general, he would show no mercy to the Chu family.
The more than four thousand soldiers of the Yun Family Army felt a rush of joy. Since the incident with the Yun family, they hadn’t felt so good in a long time.
The Ninth Prince’s face was pale and extremely unattractive, but he did not have the courage to fight Yun Yi directly.
The Ninth Prince might be a little stronger than Wang Chong, but Yun Yi could defeat Wang Chong in an instant. This was a completely different matter.
"All soldiers, listen up, go and kill!"
The Ninth Prince drew his sword and swung it forward fiercely. This was not the time to duel with Yun Yi; if they were to fight, they could only rely on numbers to win.
Crash…
Twenty thousand elite soldiers did not dare to disobey the Ninth Prince’s orders. They charged forward and attacked the Yun Family Army, but due to Yun Yi immediately defeating an innate realm expert, the morale of the Jade Dragon Pass soldiers was clearly lacking.
"Ha ha, kill!"
Qian Luofeng laughed heartily. The soldiers of the Yun Family Army were fierce like wolves and tigers. Although they were few in number, their spirit was not lacking; their strong morale was enough to crush the enemy army.
"Ninth Prince, prepare to die."
Yun Yi did not want to waste time. Counting the days, there was only one and a half days left until Yun Feilong and Yun Canghai were beheaded, and there was still the Sky Dragon Pass ahead. Breaking through the Sky Dragon Pass and getting to the Imperial Capital would take some time.
Time was tight; Yun Yi had to fight quickly and return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, his grandfather and father could be in danger at any moment.
The sword energy surged like a rainbow, and Yun Yi charged like a black dragon, locking onto the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince was terrified and had no courage to fight Yun Yi; he turned around and ran away.
"Ha ha, the honorable Ninth Prince of the Chu Kingdom is just a lost dog."
Yun Yi laughed loudly and then put away his long sword. Dark energy gathered in his hand, and he felt strong and steady like a mountain. The terrifying energy attacked the Ninth Prince fiercely.
"Dark Dragon Hand."
With the sound of a dragon’s roar, a terrifying black dragon claw suddenly appeared, as big as a small mountain, hovering above the Ninth Prince.
This was Yun Yi’s first time using the Dark Dragon Hand, and it was a chance for him to practice against the Ninth Prince.
"What a terrifying Battle Technique!"
The Ninth Prince’s face turned dark. Covered by the Dark Dragon Hand, it felt like a huge mountain weighed down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.
The enormous black dragon claw came crashing down from the sky. The Ninth Prince had no way to escape, so he had to gather all his spiritual power, pouring it into his sword, and he swung it at the descending black dragon claw.
Unfortunately, the gap between them was too great, completely on different levels. Yun Yi’s Dark Dragon Hand could not even be resisted by a second grade of the Innate Realm expert, let alone the Ninth Prince.
Boom…
The huge dragon claw came crashing down, shaking the earth and stirring up dust.
Ah…
A painful scream echoed, and when the dust settled, the figure of the Ninth Prince appeared.
In that moment, the Ninth Prince was crushed flat by the Dark Dragon Hand, dying on the spot, with no chance of survival.
"The prince is dead, the prince has been killed."
Someone shouted this, and for the already weak-spirited soldiers of Jade Dragon Pass, it was a death blow.
Wang Chong is dead, and the Ninth Prince is dead too; this battle has lost all meaning.
Not to mention that the Yun Family Army is fierce like wolves, there is also an innate realm warrior named Qian Luofeng, and a prodigy, Yun Yi, who can defeat innate realm fighters in an instant. In this situation, even if their numbers doubled, the outcome would be the same.
In war, morale is always the most important; without morale, defeat is certain.
The large army quickly collapsed, like flowing water, while the Yun Family Army was like a sharp sword, breaking through Jade Dragon Pass with unstoppable force.
In this battle, the Yun Family Army suffered no losses at all, marking a true and complete victory.
After crossing Jade Dragon Pass, Yun Yi hurried on, heading straight for Sky Dragon Pass.
The Yun Family Army was filled with excitement; they hadn’t felt this passionate in a long time. Following Yun Yi was even more exhilarating than following Yun Feilong into battle. This father and son duo were true iron-willed men.
The next morning!
Outside Sky Dragon Pass, two great princes stood guard, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince. They set up a chessboard outside the pass and played leisurely, showing no signs of tension.
To the two princes, it felt like a vacation. They didn’t even consider whether the Yun Family Army would come; with its current strength, they believed the Yun Family Army could not pass Mysterious Dragon Pass or Jade Dragon Pass. They had no worries here and simply enjoyed themselves.
"Seventh Brother, at three o’clock this afternoon, it will be the day Yun Feilong and his son are beheaded. Do you think the Yun Family Army has been completely wiped out?"
The Eighth Prince made a move and asked with a smile.
"If Qian Luofeng does not attempt to save others, he can naturally survive, and the remaining Yun Family Army could continue to struggle. However, if they want to reach the Imperial Capital to rescue someone, they might already be completely defeated," said the Seventh Prince.
"Ah, Seventh Brother, do you think the Emperor is being a bit too cruel to the Yun family?"
The Eighth Prince sighed.
"Let’s not talk about that. The Emperor is also considering the Chu family. After all, the Chu Kingdom is our land. Yun Feilong is exceptionally talented and will eventually surpass the Emperor, even the old Emperor. Moreover, the Yun Family Army has the support of the people. Whether or not the Yun family is loyal, Yun Feilong’s existence is still a variable. To protect the Chu family’s position, the Emperor had no choice," said the Seventh Prince.
The struggle for power is inherently dark.
"If we must blame someone, we can only blame Yun Feilong for not being part of the Chu family and for being too outstanding."
The Eighth Prince shook his head. Sometimes, being too outstanding is not necessarily a good thing.
Bang bang bang…
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the pieces on the chessboard jumped up and down, falling to the ground. The two great princes changed their expressions at the same time and looked into the distance.
They did not see any people, but they saw a tall battle flag, a blood-red flag, with the character "Yun" waving.
"Yun Family Army."
The Eighth Prince quickly stood up; that battle flag was too familiar—it was the symbol of the Yun Family Army.
"Why is the Yun Family Army at Sky Dragon Pass? What are the Ninth Prince and the others up to?"
The Seventh Prince also stood up, his brows furrowed, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
Soon, the Yun Family Army appeared outside Sky Dragon Pass, their might overwhelming, their flags waving. Yun Yi, in white clothes with black hair, exuded a strong aura of spiritual power that was unmistakable.
"Yun Yi."
The two princes were both shocked, just like in the earlier scenes at Mysterious Dragon Pass and Jade Dragon Pass. No one expected that the useless person from the Imperial Capital would appear here carrying a battle flag.
