Chapter 80

Wang Yue hurried along and arrived at Yanmen Pass, where Li Qiushui, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan, A Bi, and others had already entered the territory of the Khitan Empire for some time.

Wang Yue stood on the city wall of Yanmen Pass, looking into the distance.

A sword light flashed, and Liu Qing appeared beside Wang Yue.

"Liu Qing, with the Khitan Empire's million-strong army advancing south, aren't you going to stop them? Do you know who the Khitan Empire's national master is?" Wang Yue asked.

Liu Qing nodded and said, "As long as the Khitan army doesn't enter Yanmen Pass, I won't interfere. The Emperor has ordered me not to leave Yanmen Pass. As for the Khitan Empire's national master, I do know who he is. He is Murong Fu."

Wang Yue thought to himself, it's indeed Murong Fu, just as he suspected.

"Zhao family, hahaha," Wang Yue laughed, "Liu Qing, it's truly sad that you serve such a dynasty. If you were in the Khitan Empire, you would have already unified the world, hahaha."

Liu Qing frowned and said, "Wang Yue, the Emperor's decisions are not something you can fathom. Be careful with your words!"

Although Liu Qing was dissatisfied with the Zhao family's lack of ambition, he couldn't say much. After all, he was just a minister, no matter how high his martial arts skills were.

Wang Yue laughed, "Hahaha, alright, I won't say more. Liu Qing, this time, I don't need your help. I'll deal with Murong Fu myself. However, if the heroes of Central Plains reach Yanmen Pass, please open the gate and let them through. I'm going to save people, farewell!"

Wang Yue finished speaking and disappeared from the city wall.

...

"Quick! We're almost at Yanmen Pass. As long as we pass Yanmen Pass, we'll enter the territory of the Song Dynasty, and we'll be saved." Xiao Feng led Xuzhu, Duan Yu, and the other heroes of the martial world running towards Yanmen Pass.

"Ah..."

"My leg, I've been hit by an arrow. Save me!"

"Quick, run!"

These martial heroes were just some skilled warriors from the wild, completely inexperienced in military tactics. They were a disorganized group. No matter how strong their martial arts were, they were no match for a million-strong army.

Li Qiushui, Wang Yuyan, and A Bi rushed towards Yanmen Pass.

A few days ago, after Li Qiushui, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, and others met outside Yanmen Pass, they devised a plan to rescue Xiao Feng.

Just like in the original story, Duan Yu and his family's retainers dug a tunnel to rescue Xiao Feng.

Seeing the martial heroes behind them being killed by arrows, Xiao Feng felt intense sorrow and anger, but he could do nothing about it.

He was no match for the million-strong army, and more importantly, there was a grandmaster, "Murong Fu," behind them.

"Brother Xiao, will we die here?" A Zhu held Xiao Feng's hand and asked.

A Zi also anxiously said, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that Liu Qing would help us? Why hasn't he come to our aid yet?"

Xiao Feng comforted them, "A Zhu, A Zi, don't worry. Even if I have to risk my life, I won't let you get hurt."

Wang Yuyan asked Li Qiushui, "Grandma, can we go back?"

Li Qiushui sighed, "If Liu Qing helps us, we can go back. But if he doesn't, it will be very difficult. We are still more than ten miles away from Yanmen Pass. Before we reach it, we will be caught by the Khitan cavalry. Even if we reach Yanmen Pass, Murong Fu will likely act."

Murong Fu was currently watching the situation unfold, not intervening.

As a grandmaster, Murong Fu didn't need to act himself. The Khitan cavalry could kill these martial heroes. He was targeting grandmasters like Wang Yue and Liu Qing.

...

"Xiao Feng!" The voice of the Khitan Emperor, Yelü Hongji, echoed, "I have treated you well, but you betrayed me. Today, I will have my million-strong army crush the Song Dynasty and show you who the true ruler of the world is."

Xiao Feng faced the million-strong army without fear and shouted, "Your Majesty, it's not that Xiao Feng wanted to betray you, but I didn't want to attack the Song Dynasty. Although I am a Khitan, the Han people have raised me. How can I harm the Han people? If Your Majesty withdraws your troops, Xiao Feng will submit to your judgment."

After saying this, Xiao Feng knelt before the army.

Li Qiushui, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan, A Bi, and all the martial heroes looked at Xiao Feng with admiration.

Many members of the Beggar Gang shed tears and shouted, "Leader!"

Xuzhu and Duan Yu exchanged a glance and used their supreme lightness skills to fly towards Yelü Hongji.

They caught Yelü Hongji by surprise and brought him to the edge of a cliff.

With Yelü Hongji captured, all the martial heroes breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were saved.

Xiao Feng walked to Yelü Hongji and said, "Brother, according to the Khitan Empire's iron law, after being captured, one must ransom oneself with wealth. Last time, you paid a large herd of cattle and sheep and a batch of gold and silver. I wonder what you can use to ransom yourself this time."

Yelü Hongji, feeling extremely aggrieved, shouted, "The Khitan Empire is incredibly wealthy. Ask for whatever you want."

Xiao Feng shouted, "Xiao Feng is not greedy for wealth. I don't want your wealth, Brother. I only ask that you withdraw your troops and swear that you will never attack the Song Dynasty again in your lifetime."

Yelü Hongji coldly said, "Impossible."

Xiao Feng looked at the deep abyss and said, "My father once jumped down here with my mother. If you don't agree today, Brother, I will jump down with you!"

Yelü Hongji looked at Xiao Feng in shock, "You..."

At that moment...

"Whoosh..."

A whistling sound came.

Someone had fired an arrow!

The target was Yelü Hongji!

"Boom!"

A red light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of Yelü Hongji and Xiao Feng. It was Wang Yue, who had just arrived.

Wang Yue blocked the shocking arrow.

Wang Yue ignored Xiao Feng and Yelü Hongji and looked in the direction the arrow came from, saying, "Murong Fu, show yourself. You are now a grandmaster and the actual controller of the Khitan Empire's million-strong army. There's no need to hide like a rat anymore."

Wang Yue's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

The arrow was indeed shot by Murong Fu. That arrow could kill a half-grandmaster. If Wang Yue hadn't appeared in time, even Xiao Feng couldn't have withstood it.

"Rumble..."

The cavalry in front parted to make a path.

Murong Fu, dressed in a white robe and holding a long sword, stepped forward steadily and stood opposite Wang Yue.

"Wang Yue, you can't stop me," Murong Fu looked at Wang Yue and smiled, "The Murong family has been dedicated to restoring the Great Yan Kingdom since my ancestor, Murong Longcheng. Unfortunately, restoring the kingdom is not easy. My father spent his life striving but was ultimately killed by you, Wang Yue, and died a tragic death. However, the heavens have eyes. I, Murong Fu, not only became a grandmaster but also the national master of the Khitan Empire. Now, the Khitan Empire's million-strong army is under my control. Once the army enters the Song Dynasty, destroying the Song and Western Xia is just a matter of time. I, Murong Fu, am the true ruler of the world."

Murong Fu's voice was calm, as if he were telling an unimportant story, but Wang Yue could sense the immense killing intent in his heart.

If Murong Fu had enough power, he would destroy the world.

Wang Yue smiled faintly, "Yes, you are about to become the ruler of the world. Murong Fu, I have to admire your perseverance. You fought and lost, lost and fought, and finally became a grandmaster. If I'm not mistaken, your power comes from the Wolf God. Although you have fully digested the Wolf God's power, there is still a slight imperfection in its compatibility. After all, this power is not something you cultivated yourself. The Northern Mystic Art also has its flaws. However, it's a pity, Murong Fu, you are still one step away. As long as you haven't completed this final step, you cannot become the ruler of the world. You are destined to be a failure, no matter how glorious you once were, hahaha."

Yelü Hongji hated Murong Fu to death. He never thought Murong Fu would betray him.

"Murong Fu, you have the heart of a wolf, wanting to be the ruler of the world? I will kill you and tear you to pieces!" Yelü Hongji roared at Murong Fu.

"Kill Murong Fu for me!" Yelü Hongji shouted to the Khitan generals.

However, all the generals ignored Yelü Hongji's orders, not a single one obeyed.

Wang Yue frowned and said coldly, "Yelü Hongji, you are just a puppet. Do you really think you are the Emperor of the Khitan Empire? Your generals are controlled by Murong Fu's poison, and they follow Murong Fu's orders."

Murong Fu glanced at Yelü Hongji with a cold eye and sneered, not taking him seriously at all.

"Wang Yue, every time I see you, I feel like a dog that has lost its home. If it weren't for various coincidences, I, Murong Fu, would have died at your hands long ago." Murong Fu drew his sword and pointed it at Wang Yue, shouting, "Today, I, Murong Fu, am a grandmaster, the most powerful martial artist in the world, and I am no longer afraid of you. Wang Yue, you will die at my hands."

Wang Yue laughed, "Are you so confident? It's true, this is your final step to restore your kingdom and bring disaster to the world. So, let's fight!"

In fact, although Murong Fu wanted to restore his kingdom and bring disaster to the world, his ambition was somewhat nobler than Wang Yue's. After all, he wanted to become the ruler of the world and an emperor, which was a matter of national importance. Wang Yue, on the other hand, was only fighting for Wang Village, his family, and his small piece of land.

In terms of scale, the two were on different levels.

Wang Yue was just a small person, only caring about himself and his family. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the world. If it weren't for the irreconcilable hatred between him and Murong Fu, he wouldn't have come to stop Murong Fu from attacking the Song Dynasty.

After all, Liu Qing hadn't even left Yanmen Pass and was still watching from the city wall.

If the officials didn't care, why should Wang Yue?

Xiao Feng, a "great hero," dedicated to the welfare of the people, was admirable, but Wang Yue still thought he was just asking for trouble.

"Murong Fu, this is our final battle. Show me your full strength," Wang Yue's aura fluctuated, and the air around him became thick, creating a powerful pressure that made the surrounding martial heroes and Khitan soldiers struggle to breathe.

"Kill!"

Murong Fu waved his hand, and the Khitan soldiers charged at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue laughed, "Murong Fu, you don't want to fight me directly and are trying to use a sea of people to wear me down! It seems you still lack confidence in your martial arts. Sea of people? I, Wang Yue, am not afraid!"

Wang Yue unleashed a burst of aura, and a hundred soldiers in front of him were instantly killed.

Murong Fu sneered, "Wang Yue, I have a million soldiers. I don't believe you can kill them all! Kill, kill to your heart's content."

Seeing the Khitan soldiers being killed in batches by Wang Yue, Xiao Feng felt intense sorrow and shouted, "Stop, Brother Wang Yue, stop. These Khitan soldiers are innocent, don't kill them anymore!"

When Wang Yue was at the Transformation stage, he could kill tens of thousands. Now, as a Core Formation martial artist, he was ten to a hundred times stronger. How many Khitan soldiers would die at his hands? Xiao Feng couldn't bear to think about it.

Wang Yue unleashed bursts of aura, killing large numbers of soldiers and horses, and said coldly, "Once you join this war, no one is innocent. They followed Murong Fu's orders, and they are destined to die!"
